France: Short-lived crime papers of the 1940s

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE IMAGES

In the immediate post-war period, while Qui? Détective continued the legacy of the pre-war Détective, albeit under new ownership, other crime-oriented papers emerged in France, most of them short-lived.  Here we see issues of Stop Police, published in 1946-1947, Enquêtes:  le grand hebdomadaire policier, from 1947 and Police Hebdo.  According to the BIBLIOGRAPHIE DE L’HISTOIRE DE LA JUSTICE FRANÇAISE (1789-2011) on  the Criminocorpus site, Police Hebdo was published only in 1947 and 1948.  It was roughly the same size and format as the post-war Qui? Détective.
