"Boussac then assigns Henri Jacquemin, who recounted it to me—a former employee of Léderlin, “poached” with his blessing—to visit each of the factories one by one. Circulating if necessary through the lines of the French armies, he will present manufacturers with the following deal: “You are offered to reopen your factories. You will be supplied with equipment and orders. Do you agree to resume manufacturing under these conditions?” The responses do not take long."
