Description

Vintage audio cassette in K7 format, published by Marianne Mélodie, titled "L'épopée de la 2e DB du Général Leclerc 1940-1945" (The Epic of General Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division 1940-1945). The jacket features a historical black and white photograph depicting members of the 2nd Armored Division, with a combat tank and an officer in uniform, likely General Leclerc, in the foreground. The inscriptions are clearly visible: "INÉDIT LECLERC RACONTE" (UNPUBLISHED LECLERC NARRATES) in a red box, "DOCUMENTS HISTORIQUES" (HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS), and the covered period "1940-1945."

The classic transparent audio cassette case highlights the original jacket, printed in color with a predominant red, blue, and white, adopting the graphic codes of the Marianne Mélodie edition. The publisher's logo is clearly visible in the bottom right. No major flaws are visible on the front: the jacket appears intact, without apparent creases or tears, and the plastic of the case shows no chips or cracks on the exposed part.

This magnetic medium is typical of commemorative editions from the 1980s to 1990s, aiming to transmit historical sound documents. The presentation evokes a documentary edition, likely composed of sound archives, narratives, or testimonies concerning World War II and the liberation of France by the 2nd Armored Division.

The visible side only shows the front jacket and the case. No details about the cassette itself (label, magnetic tape, condition of the tape) are observable in this image. The ensemble stands out for its retro appearance, true to French documentary audio productions of the late 20th century.

The mention "inédit Leclerc raconte" suggests the presence of rare recordings or excerpts of testimonies from General Leclerc, which enhances the historical interest of the object, without the precise content being detailed on the visible side.

Condition

Used item sold as is, jacket and front case in good apparent visual condition. Minor wear possible due to age, not visible on the exposed side.
