Abstract

[fre] Résumé Pour l'industrie française des travaux publics, la guerre s'accompagna d'une forte contraction de l'activité. Seuls se développèrent les travaux allemands : si ces derniers profitèrent avant tout aux firmes d'Outre-Rhin, ils suscitèrent, en France, de nombreuses créations d'entreprises. Néanmoins, durant l'Occupation, les comportements des entrepreneurs différèrent assez peu de ceux de la majorité des Français : il y eut peu de véritables «collaborateurs» et peu d'authentiques résistants. En fait, dans cette industrie, l'impact de la seconde guerre mondiale fut sensiblement moins important que celui de la première. [eng] Abstract For the French civil engineering and public works industry, the war brought about a sharp downturn in activity. The only growth area was that of work on German projects : though this was to accrue mainly to German firms, the did lead, in France, to many instances of firm creation. Be that as it may, during the Occupation, entrepreneurial behaviour differed little from that of great majority of Frenchmen : there were true «collaborators», and few real resistance workers. In point of fact, for this industry, the impact of the Second World War turned out to be of far less consequence than that of the First.
