Original World War II French “Cigarettes de Troupe” pack, produced under German occupation between 1940 and 1944 for distribution to French soldiers and authorized military personnel. The pack features the classic three-soldier motif—kepi, bonnet, and Adrian helmet—an iconic pre-1940/Occupation-era design used by the French tobacco administration (SEITA / Régie Française des Tabacs).
This example remains fully sealed, retaining its period tax stamp and original wartime paper wrapping. Light handling folds and age toning are present, typical of fragile 1940s packaging, but the graphics remain sharp and vibrant. A rare, untouched example of wartime French military-issued cigarettes, highly desirable for collectors of WWII French and Occupation-era artifacts.
