Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Milice" in English language version.
The Milice was the ugly face of fascism in France, incorporating both a military and bellicose style and a programme and quasi-ideology. [...] In January 1944, Darnand was appointed Minister for Order, and in June, Minister of the Interior. The extreme Milice had captured power. [...] The Milice had become a state within a state. It was central to the process of repression. France was now on the threshold of becoming a fascist state.
The choice of the third letter of the Greek alphabet as a badge was explained thus: the gamma is the zodiacal sign of the Ram and therefore of force, but Aries (the Ram) is also the segment of spring (21st March to 20th April), it is therefore additionally symbolic of rejuvenation.
