This operation aimed to make the population aware of the fate of prisoners of war, STO requisitioners and deportees who had not been heard from since the resumption of fighting in the West. It was also necessary to reassure the families that the French authorities were trying to maintain contact with the help of the International Red Cross and were preparing for the upcoming repatriation. The operation received wide media coverage. All over France, initiatives took place for the benefit of prisoners and deportees.
