France, fighting alongside the British BEF Force, were both overwhelmed by the sheer rapidity (thanks to nazi super drug “Pervitin”) of the German Nazi Advance across Holland Belgium, France, the “Low Countries” in 1940. No army had EVER encountered an Army as fast, deadly, and mechanized ever before in the entire history of warfare. That is a solid absolute fact.Adolf Hitler had secretly ALREADY made arrangements for treachery, by rendezvous with Marshal of France Phillipe Petain in a Spanish city, and discussing and agreeing he was to “save France” by taking over after the french and British defeat of 1940? This was DESPICABLE TREACHERY AND TREASON.Also, Admiral DARALN made secret agreements to take over the French Naval Flotilla and instead of take it to Britain to fight alongside the other Free French escapees and British and Americans, Darlan was ordering the French capital heavy ships to be taken to german controlled nazi Ports. In fact, the French sailors (matelots) burned many of their ships when the truth became known, and as the Nazi german commandos arrived outside their Ports, many French ships were set on fire by their own crews rather than suffer this national treason.What the French could not sink, because the german commandos captured them, were bombarded and sunk by British ships or aircraft. Winston Churchill with a sad and very heavy heart (himself once first Lord of the British Admiralty Fleet) wept profusely over the while ugly unpleasant incidents.But you need to remember, this was german shabby nazi trickery, and pre-planned, pre-ordained treason and treachery. It is a very serious mistake to judge or to condemn each and every Frenchman for supposed nazi collaboration, this is not a historically proved or supported the fact. it is NOT a “fact” at all, it is the result of a lot of Postwar fake news, fake stories and badly produced self-published internet articles and get rich quick badly researched “apologist” war books.Below. A Film with Actor Daniel Craig plays the character of a Resistance fighter during the war who sheltered jews in the Forest to protect them from the Germans.History of resisters is being attacked by nazi sympathizers, who are trying to change what happened, alter the facts and abuse the character of those who resisted the nazis. beware “Fake News”!!.In anticipation of the December release of “Defiance,” — starring Daniel Craig, the actor best-known as the latest incarnation of James Bond — the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza ran an article headlined, “A Hollywood Movie About Heroes or Murderers?” The article contrasts the film’s portrayal of Tuvia Bielski as a Moses figure leading frightened women and children through the forest with a recently released report from a Polish government investigative body. The government report suggests that Bielski and his followers may have participated in a massacre of civilians in the eastern Polish town of Naliboki.The tarnishing of the Bielski partisans has infuriated a number of people close to the memory of the group. Some of those people have also been involved with the production of the movie, directed by Ed Zwick (“Legends of the Fall,” “The Last Samurai”). Nechama Tec, who wrote the historical account of the Bielski partisans on which the film is based, told the Forward that allegations connecting the partisans to the massacre were “total lies.”Those allegations “underline the antisemitic tendencies of the writers and the distortion of history,” Tec said.The controversy comes on the heels of a Lithuanian government investigation into allegations that Jewish partisans committed war crimes during World War II. That investigation has been met with dismay on the part of Jewish communal leaders inside and outside Lithuania, who note that only three Lithuanians have ever been prosecuted for wartime crimes against Jews.The reinvestigation — or, as some former partisans and historians claim, the revision — of what happened in the town of Naliboki in May 1943 began in 2001, when the massacre was first being studied by the Institute of National Remembrance, a Polish government agency known as IPN, that is devoted to prosecuting “crimes against the Polish nation.” The agency’s report, which has thus far been limited to a short brief released this year, claims that on the morning of March 8, 1943, Soviet partisans shot 128 civilians outside their homes.About two-thirds of the way in, the report brings up the Jewish partisans affiliated with Bielski and his three brothers, noting that though some accounts by witnesses and historians place the group at the scene of the attack, these accounts have not been verified.“Therefore the fact of participation of partisan soldiers of the Bielski Unit in the attack on Naliboki village is merely one of the versions of the investigated case,” the report concludes.Robert Bielski, Tuvia Bielski’s son, said that his problem with the IPN report and the subsequent Gazeta Wyborcza article was twofold.“The Bielskis were not in Naliboki in May of ’43,” he said, echoing historians who believe that the partisans did not arrive in the area until August of that year.“But,” he added, “even if it were true, which I know it’s not, the 128 people are in no way close to the millions of people that the Polish people herded towards the Germans so they could be extinguished. I believe it’s just consistent Polish antisemitism and the Poles are sloughing off their own crimes of being an enemy of the Jews during World War II.”The IPN declined to comment on the controversy, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. But Piotr Gluchowski, the Gazeta Wyborcza reporter who co-wrote the article on the IPN report — as well as a longer feature story about the Bielski brothers, published several days later — was more forthcoming. Gluchowski wrote in an e-mail that he was sure the Bielski partisans were not involved in the massacre, but that, on the other hand, the IPN “are no amateurs. This is a government organization, a very serious thing.”Gluchowski and his co-writer, Marcin Kowalski, are authoring a book about the Bielski partisans. Gluchowski said it will be published in December to coincide with the release of the film. (A publicist representing the film said she had no knowledge of the book project.)“The Bielskis… are completely unknown in Poland,” Gluchowski said in the email. “But — I think — it will be hot in December when ‘Defiance’ goes to the theatres.”According to both Gluchowski and the detractors who found his article unsympathetic, the Bielskis are known in Poland only to the extent that some Polish nationalists have seized upon the idea that a Jewish partisan group collaborated with the Soviets to kill Polish civilians. The IPN itself is currently dominated by members of Prawo I Sprawiedliwosc, a rightist party, Gluchowski said.Whether the debate over the Bielski partisans will seep into the reception of “Defiance” remains to be seen. The Variety storey appeared briefly on the magazine’s Web site, is no longer accessible because, according to the publication’s editor, Dana Harris, it had not been properly edited.As for the movie itself, shooting was completed last year, before the IPN released its report. Judging from the film’s trailer, there was no question in the minds of the filmmakers that Tuvia Bielski and his followers deserve to be celebrated.The Times and The Guardian reported Poles fear “Hollywood has airbrushed out some unpleasant episodes from the story”, such as the Bielski partisans’ alleged affiliation with Soviet partisans directed by the NKVD, who committed atrocities against Poles in eastern Poland, including the region where Bielski’s unit operated. Gazeta Wyborcza reported six months before the film’s release that “News about a movie glorifying [the Bielskis] has caused an uproar among Polish historians”, who referred to the Bielskis as “Jewish-communist bandits”.But be extremely careful about such smear type claims. Modernists and Revisionist “Historians” are bust producing sub-standard badly “researched” (term used advisedly!) books and material, which “somehow” try to clean up, (falsify) whitewash, or minimize the facts about what really happened, especially since they know there are few persons out there now who are strong enough or alive, to remember and strongly correct their errors.I grew up surrounded by the generation and heard many of the stories told. I went to Tarn and Tarn Garonne to write a story factual book about the resistance but got violently attacked and beaten up by a neo-nazi English “gang” backed by a Waffen SS runaway in Wales, in the UK. who operate in the area.It seems they did not want ME to write the book, but one of “them” instead.And no doubt tell lies.The French in fact suffered terribly under Nazi German control and occupation. And by the way, so did Poland, Greece, North Afrika Czechoslovakia and Morovia, Latvia Lithuania Holland Belgium and Russia. And the evidence for german and blood-soaked soil, scorched earth policy SS war crimes Murders, tortures, and village town massacres becomes highly DAMNING and incontrovertible evidence.Below A village in Greece was brutally massacred by the Germans.On June 10, 1944, one of the most brutal events in all of World War II took place in the tiny village of Distomo on the Greek mainland.According to survivor testimony, Nazi SS troops went door to door and massacred 218 Greek civilians.Survivors said that the Nazis bayoneted babies in their cribs and stabbed pregnant women and beheaded the village priest. It was a two-hour killing spree ordered by the Germans in retaliation for rebel activity in the area.And what happened here, also happened inside France, and everywhere else the Germans went. Hitlers nazi cynical “Propaganda machinery” made fake records, false “news” stories and covered up the Murders. The secret german Military police, the GESTAPO and SD falsified the records.Following the massacre, a Secret Field Police agent accompanying German forces told authorities that, contrary to an official report from Nazi commander Fritz Lautenbach, German troops had come under attack several miles away from Distomo — not nearby.The Secret Field Police said that the Germans had not been fired upon “with mortars, machine-guns and rifles from the direction of Distomo.”Lautenbach later admitted that he had surpassed standing orders, but a tribunal ruled in his favour. The tribunal found that he was not motivated by negligence, but instead a sense of responsibility for his men.Mark Mazower’s book “Inside Hitler’s Greece” carried extensive testimony and first-hand accounts from the massacre and is one of the best contemporary re-tellings of the massacre.The iconic American magazine LIFE also carried a photo essay in its November 24, 1944 edition.So, please, no more lies and Revisionist fake news about the German occupations.The TULLE Massacre. The hanging of 99 persons by the Germans in France.From a French Resistance Site in France.A TRUE LIFE STORY OF ANOTHER GERMAN MASSACRE INSIDE FRANCE.After a successful attack by the French Resistance group Francs-tireur on 7 and 8 June 1944, the arrival of Das Reich troops forced the Maquis(French Resistance) to flee the city of Tulle (department of Corrèze) in south-central France.Resistance operations in Tulle had been planned by the commander of the Maquis FTP of Corrèze, Jacques Chapou , aka KlébeThe offensive started on June 7, 1944, at 5 AM with a Bazooka attack on the barracks of the security forces at Champ de Mars. This action functioned as the signal to begin the attack.The fighting centred around three main areas: the armoury, the gendarmerie barracks and the girls’ school, which housed German troops.Once again, Waffen SS soldiers from the Regiment of Das Reich committed a terrible Massacre at the French town of TULLE.The focus the following day was on the girls’ school. the Resistance fighters set fire to the school building around 3 PM.About 2 hours later , in circumstances that remain unclear and disputed, the Germans tried to leave, if one of them was waving a white cloth, others were carrying live grenades. In all the chaos, the Maquis opened fire with automatic weapons; some soldiers were cut down at close range, by exploding grenades, which would explain the injuries observed on the horribly mutilated corpses. An estimated were killed.When the 2nd SS Panzer Division ‘Das Reich’ entered the town they found 40 dead bodies of the German 3rd Battalion/95th Security Regiment garrison troops near the school, their bodies badly mutilated.On 9 June 1944, after arresting all men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, the SS and members of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) ordered 120 of the prisoners to be hanged, of whom 99 were actually hanged.The citizens of Tulle had been warned by a text on a poster“Forty German soldiers were murdered in the most horrible manner by a band of communists. For the guerillas and those who helped them, there is a punishment, execution by hanging. Forty German soldiers were murdered by the guerrillas, one hundred and twenty guerrillas and their accomplices will be hanged. Their bodies will be thrown in the river — Poster signed by the commanding General of the German troops.In the days that followed, 149 men were sent to the Dachau concentration camp, where 101 lost their lives. In total, the actions of the Wehrmacht, the Waffen-SS, and the SD claimed the lives of 213 civilian residents of Tulle.There were many other german Massacres.We have only French version for this massacre, it is included here for proof of the answer to the question (because the question was in English but documents of the massacre are official and only in French at this time. Thank you for your understanding.Par Quentin VasseurPublié le 15/03/2018 à 10:18Le dernier procès de la Seconde guerre mondiale n'aura sans doute pas lieu. 74 ans après le massacre d'Ascq, l'un des pires de la guerre de 1939-45, le droit français fait obstacle à un nouveau jugement.Rappel des faitsEn avril 1944, les soldats allemands exécutent 86 hommes et en blessent une trentaine d'autres sur une voie ferrée à Villeneuve-d'Ascq, en représailles après le sabotage d'un train de marchandises par la Résistance. Les trois plus jeunes victimes avaiten 15 ans, la plus vieille 76 ans.Ils ont tous été assassinés au motif qu'un train avait dérailléLe procès du massacre d'Ascq s'ouvre à Lille en 1949, en présence de sept ancien soldats nazis, mais sans Heinz Münter, qui est condamné à mort par contumace. Les autres prévenus seront sont graciés par le président René Coti en 1956 lorsque la France et l'Allemagne, en se rapprochant, veulent tirer un trait sur le passé. Heinz Münter, lui, disparaît en échappant à la peine capitale.L'ancien SS retrouvéAprès avoir échappé près de 70 ans à la justice sous une fausse identité, Heinz Münter a été repéré presque par hasard, alors qu'il cherchait sur internet à retrouver un album SS qu'on lui avait volé à la suite d'un prêt.L'ancien SS Heinz Munter sera-t-il rejugé pour le massacre d'Ascq en 1944 ?L'occasion pour Alexandre Delezenne, arrière-petit-fils de la victime de 76 ans, de réclamer justice. Il a saisi la justice allemande il y a plusieurs années pour faire rejuger Heinz Münter, aujourd'hui âgé de95 ans. "Ils ont tous été assassinés au motif qu'un train avait déraillé" rappelle-t-il.Massacre d'Ascq : pourquoi l'ancien SS Heinz Münter ne sera (sans doute) pas rejugéIntervenants : Alexandre Delezenne, Arrière petit-fils de Pierre Briet, massacré d'Ascq ; Sylvain Calonne, Président de la société historique de Villeneuve d'Ascq - France 3 Nord-Pas-de-Calais - Reportage de Laura Lévy et Bruno Espalieu. Montage de Bruno WeillDes enquêteurs allemands dans le NordVoilà donc quatre ans que les policiers allemands enquêtentautour de Villeneuve-d'Ascq, dépêchés par le procureur de Dortmund pour chercher les descendants des victimes.Le 7 novembre 2017, le procureur de Celle, en Allemagne, a demandé au ministère français de la Justice s'il pouvait poursuivre Heinz Münter.Le bureau de l'entraide pénale internationale a donné sa réponse mardi matin : il est impossible de rejuger l'ex-SS car il a été condamné pour "crimes de guerre" et non "crimes contre l'humanité", ce qui l'empêche d'être rejugé dans un autre pays. À cela s'ajoute la prescription des faits.Perquisitions chez d'anciens SS en lien avec le massacre d'Ascq en 1944Une déception pour Alexandre Delezenne, mais également pour Sylvain Calonne, président de la société historique de Vilelneuve-d'Ascq qui a assisté les enquêteurs allemands en leur apportant de nombreuses archives."Le seul espoir, c'est que le procureur de Celle passe outre, mais je crains que l'avocat du prévenu ne le rende caduque. Ce ne sera qu'une condamnation morale."Faces of infamy. Waffen SS soldiers carried out many of the war crimes Massacres, but they were not alone. It was everybody who did the murders, under german occupations, it was also the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe troops, the Militia, Gestapo, The Green Devils or Falschirmjager Paratroopers, The SD, the KRIPO, Einsatzgruppen etc…..Das Reich, une division SS en France 6 juin 1944 - 8 mai 1945French civilians lie dead, massacred by SS troops inside France.I will not present other continuing shocking scenes of Massacres, because I feel enough proof has been given.During the 1970s when I was younger, there were a great many TV films, series and books in positive circulation containing true life stories of what happened and went on in France under the germans and pro Biased VICHY Regime.There were NEVER “doubts” over French resistance or the very evil way the Germans treated the French, or greedy and badly motivated “revisionist” get rich quick books on sale then (they would be exposed as a fake and discredited and made to apologize in court).French women and men were regularly rounded up and shot against the wall for “reprisal” after French resistance attacks upon the occupying German soldiers or Gestapo.Do I need to mention Oradour Sur Glan where the entire village was murdered, shot, and burnt to death locked inside their own parish Christian church by the soldiers from Waffen SS Das Reich regiment?Apparently, one version of this sad story claimed it was over a man named Rauke who ambushed and killed two or three Waffen SS soldiers driving a lorry. legend says that the SS lorry contained wooden boxes full of stolen looted Gold bars from French or Polish banks. The Nazi SS never recovered their stolen Gold (nor should they ever).But this incident of gross violence and mass murder was not “an exception”; no, for the same things regularly used to happen when the SS and the Militia (Vichy traitors in Blue Uniform working for the Nazis) went searching the countryside for Resistance fighters and cells of stored weapons or radio transmitter equipment.My own French Grandmother witnessed a massacre take place in the Tarn when the SS surrounded another entire village of Jouqueviel. Polish (?) Georgien and other Nationality (?) Mineworkers from Carmaux had formed a secret resistance group and were successfully attacking the Germans in the area. Arriving in the village, the German soldiers accompanied by a surrounding circle of Waffen SS from Das Reich regiment, closed in. the german alsatian search dogs began to bark and go frantic, the Feldwebel shouted he could see someone, hiding, and the Poles opened fire killing some of the Germans nearby.Partisan Roman PIETROWSKI . Fighter and Leader of Sabotages against the germans in the Tarn (near Carmaux and Albi Coal Mining communities).The French version is only available thankyou for your patience and understanding.Full Monument from Jouqueviel in the Tarn.Vraisemblablement d’origine juive, il habitait à Hayange (Moselle) où il était mineur. Après l’annexion par le Reich de la Moselle, il se réfugia en zone sud où il reprit son métier de mineur dans la région de la Loire.Militant communiste de la MOI, il organisa, en décembre 1942, le premier groupe de combat (OSC). Durant toute l’année 1943, Roman Pietrowski prépara et mena de très nombreux sabotages : attaques contre des bureaux allemands et attentats contre des militaires allemands, déraillement de trains. Traqué par les Allemands, Roman Pietrowski fut contraint de quitter la région pour aller se faire oublier dans le Tarn.Au début de février 1944, Pietrowski arriva dans le bassin minier de Carmaux. Mais sur place, il s’impliqua à nouveau dans le combat clandestin en organisant un groupe de combat de la FTP-MOI, et pris le pseudonyme " Maurice ". En juin 1944, Maurice organisa un détachement de maquisards FTPF, la compagnie 4214, constituée de Polonais et d’environ 150 anciens prisonniers soviétiques. Cette compagnie s’impliqua, en juillet 1944, dans les combats pour la prise de la ville de Carmaux. Mais le 6 août 1944, les Allemands tendirent une embuscade au PC de la compagnie 4214 dans un hôtel de Jouqueviel (Tarn). Roman Pietrowski couvrit la retraite de ses compagnons avec un FM. Repoussés, les Allemands incendièrent l’hôtel. Pietrowski continua à tirer. On retrouva son corps carbonisé crispé sur son FM à moitié brûlé. Grâce à lui, les éléments de la 4214e Cie purent se replier.Cité à l’ordre de l’Armée, à titre posthume, comportant l’attribution de la Croix de Guerre avec palmes, pour services exceptionnels de guerre rendus au cours des opérations de la libération de la France le 27 juillet 1946, Roman Pietrowski fit aussi l’objet d’une proposition pour l’attribution de la Légion d’Honneur à titre posthume. Son nom figure sur le monument commémoratif des FTPF du Tarn dans le cimetière communal des Plaines et sur le Monument situé sur la place de l’église de Jouqueviel à la mémoire des victimes des combats du 6 août 1944.Machine gun fire and rifle and grenades were going off all around and the exchange of fire action lasted some time, trapping persons inside. Some tried to escape. A few succeeded.Running quickly from a “blind spot” between houses that led out to a nearby copse of trees, some people managed to survive and escape, but the Germans closed in on the village houses with a heavy gun, mounted on an armoured vehicle (exactly what type it was is unclear). The house was blown to pieces, so were several others reduced by fire and flames. They found the Eastern European fighter Partisan leader, Mnr “ROMAN PIETROWSKI still where he died, still holding the trigger and his rifle.Jouqueviel. Cérémonies pour deux conflitsVie locale, JouquevielC'est une nombreuse assistance qui s'est rassemblée devant les monuments commémoratifs du village martyre durant la seconde guerre mondiale.L'ensemble des associations d'anciens combattants du canton de Pampelonne et de Carmaux, ainsi que des représentants de l'Association France-Géorgie de Toulouse étaient réunies pour commémorer le 65e anniversaire de l'attaque allemande du 6 août 1944,faisant 8 victimes civiles, laissant 25 orphelins, et 3 fermes incendiées. Moment d'intense émotion : l'écoute du Chant des Partisans: mais aussi , le récit d'une personne en larmes, alors enfant, témoin des atrocités ce 6 août 1944 : «J'avais 9 ans,j'ai tout vécu; j'ai vu mon père là, mutilé. Ils étaient tous allongés côte à côte, c'était affreux...»So, what my French Grandmother said she saw, she SAW and she told the truth.And the official Monument of Jouquviel proves this concretely.The SS then rounded up and shot others in the area as they furiously searched everywhere for the escapees.This was JUST ONE of a very large number of Massacres and german war crimes carried out inside german controlled occupied France. Jouqueviel is a village in the Tarn in the French South, (VICY territory during the war) but the same things happened everywhere in France. There are MANY real stories and experiences of brutality under german occupation.Just now because many of the generations have passed away in the death of old age, there is dirty work going on trying to whitewash the German occupation for cynical reasons. This is an extremely unhealthy and very bad thing. It gives a false picture, false information and lies, to try to pretend the events they never happened.THEY DID HAPPEN. (and stealing all the books and then trying to write bogus revisionist accounts is an INSULT TO THEIR MEMORY.Boys from School in Oradour Sur Glan.German occupation authorities in FranceDuring World War II, German occupation authorities in France reacted with increasing brutality to organized attacks on German soldiers, headquarters, and property by the resistance movement, more commonly known as the maquis or Résistance. The German military killed hostages and incarcerated in concentration camps real or perceived supporters or sympathizers of the resistance movement. In general, German anti-partisan measures in France never attained the level of violence or the numbers of civilian deaths as those implemented in eastern and southeastern Europe, especially in Serbia, Greece, and the Soviet Union.Before but especially following the Allied SHAEF Military invasion on the Normandy coast on June 6, 1944, the French resistance movement intensified efforts to disrupt German communications and supply lines. German military commanders, particularly those who had seen service on the eastern front and whose response to partisan activity had been conditioned by the extraordinary brutality of anti-partisan measures there, radicalized and intensified responses to real and perceived resistance activity.On June 8, 1944, two days after the Allied landing, the German Army Commander-in-Chief for the West, Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, issued orders to “crush” the resistance “with swift and ruthless initiative,” and express the “expectation that the major operation against the gangs [i.e., partisans] in Southern France will be carried out with the greatest severity and without leniency.” General Karl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel, the Military Commander in France, ordered the redeployment of a number of units stationed throughout France to reinforce the Normandy front and to crush partisan activity behind the German lines. Among the units redeployed to Normandy was the 2nd Waffen-SS Panzer Division Das Reich, which had arrived as a reserve unit in the southern French town of Montauban in January 1944.Das Reich had seen two years of combat duty, including numerous anti-partisan actions on the Eastern Front, before its transfer to France. Its commander, SS-Major General Heinz Bernhard Lammerding, had served from July 1943 to January 1944 as the chief of staff for SS-General Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, whom Himmler had appointed to command and coordinate anti-partisan operations behind German lines in the occupied Soviet Union. In this capacity, Lammerding had ordered several retaliation actions against Soviet civilians for real or perceived partisan activities or “sympathies.” Such operations involved the murder of tens of thousands of civilians, many of whom had had nothing to do with the partisans, and the torching of dozens of villages.As the 2nd SS Division redeployed to Normandy, French resistance fighters harassed it. On June 9, 1944, Lammerding issued orders for the division to “cleanse” the area around Clermont-Ferrand of partisans. That same day, members of the division had displayed what “cleansing” of partisans would mean. In retaliation for an attack, soldiers of Das Reichhanged 99 male inhabitants of the village Tulle, near Limoges.The next day, June 10, 1944, soldiers of the 3rd Company, 1st Battalion, 4th SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment (motorized infantry) Der Führer, a subordinate unit of the 2nd SS Panzer Division since April 1944, advanced to the village of Oradour-Sur-Glane. Led by the commander of the 1st Battalion, SS Major Adolf Diekmann, the Waffen-SS troops surrounded the village at midday. At that point in time, the village population had almost doubled to about 650 people, swelled by refugees, including some Jewish refugees, from other parts of France.Massacre and destruction of Oradour-sur-GlaneA class of boys from the school in OradourA class of boys from the school in Oradour. All of the people pictured here were killed by the SS during the June 10, 1944, massacre. Oradour-sur-Glane, France, photograph was taken between 1940 and June 1944.US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of Lydia ChagollThe SS soldiers rounded up the entire population and concentrated them on the market square. Thereafter they separated the villagers by gender. Members of the 1st and 2nd platoons took the 197 men to several barns on the edge of town and locked them in. The 3rd platoon locked up 240 women and 205 children in the village church. Then the SS men set fire to the barns and threw grenades through the windows of the church, shooting those who sought to escape the flames.After 642 inhabitants, including seven Jewish refugees, were dead, the company looted the empty dwellings and then burned the village to the ground. At about 8:00 p.m. on the evening of June 10, the SS men withdrew from the smoking ruins. Only seven villagers survived the massacre: six men and a woman, all of them more or less severely injured. About fifteen other inhabitants of the village were able to escape the Germans before the massacre started or evade the roundup by hiding.Ruins of Oradour-sur-GlaneThe ruins of Oradour-Sur-Glane, destroyed by the SS on June 10, 1944. Oradour-Sur-Glane, France, photograph was taken in September 1944.National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, MDAfter the massacreThe Oradour-Sur-Glane massacre received significant contemporaneous attention, requiring the German Army command to search for an explanation and the officers of the Das Reich to find one.On the evening of June 10, after the troops left Oradour-sur-Glane, Diekmann gathered his officers and non-commissioned officers and ordered them not to speak about the killings. He told them that, if asked, they should say that insurgents attacked the division in the village and the villagers were killed during the firefight. The Nazi German Army Command offered this explanation to the State Secretary in the Vichy Ministry of Defense, General Eugène Bridoux, after Vichy diplomats had sent a formal protest note that contained an accurate account of the events of June 10. The German explanation stated that:The men of the village died during the fightThe fight had been initiated from the villageThe women and children had taken refuge inside the church and died as the result of an explosion from a nearby insurgent ammunition supply dump that ignited the inside of the church.German excuses above, This is a tissue of lies. The women were locked inside the church, and could not escape. The SS then set afire to the entire church so that they all died horribly in the flames.To quell increasing public outrage and to try to keep the Vichy government from going over to the Allies, the German Army Commander-in-Chief in the West ordered a criminal investigation of the massacre. Since the SS was under a different jurisdiction than the German army, SS judge Major Detlef Okrent conducted the investigation, in which he relied significantly on the testimony of SS Captain Otto Kahn. Okrent stayed the proceeding in January 1945, concluding that “military concerns justified the retaliation.PostwarAfter the war, the massacre in Oradour-sur-Glane also received a great deal of attention. In 1946, the French government declared the site to be a national memorial site and mandated its conservation. The French prosecution team presented documentation of the killings at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg in 1946.Why Diekmann and his superiors chose Oradour-sur-Glane and who gave the order to kill the inhabitants remains disputed. Neither the International Military Tribunal nor the French authorities at proceedings in Bordeaux in 1953 produced conclusive evidence either linking Oradour-sur-Glane with the French resistance or determining who ordered the massacre. When authorities in the Democratic German Republic prosecuted Heinz Barth, an NCO who participated in the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre, in 1981, they too could not reach a conclusive answer to these questions.The evidence presented at the trials and in West German investigations of officers of Das Reich generated a number of theories as to why the SS targeted Oradour-sur-Glane. The most common explanation is that Lammerding and Diekmann received intelligence from SS Major Karl Gerlach (whom insurgents had kidnapped, but who had escaped) that the villagers were assisting the resistance. A variation of this theory is that French collaborators misled the Germans, perhaps deliberately, into believing that French insurgents were holding another kidnapped German officer, SS Major Helmut Kämpfe, in Oradour-sur-Glane, and that they planned to kill him. This explanation is based on flimsy evidence and flawed logic, for there is no indication that the Germans searched Oradour-sur-Glane for Kämpfe. Nor did the soldiers of Das Reich continue the search after the massacre, either in Oradour-sur-Glane or anywhere else. Moreover, survivors stated that one of the German officers, later identified as SS Captain Otto Kahn, never mentioned Kämpfe, but did inform the villagers that the homes would be searched for weapons and ammunition.Other explanations seem even less convincing. There is no indication that the Germans ever received intelligence that Oradour was the site of an insurgent headquarters, as SS Major Otto Weidigner, an officer of Das Reich who had not been involved in the massacre, claimed after the war. There is no information in the German military records that insurgents attacked German troops near Oradour. A war diary entry for the Military Commander in France for June 14 generated the theory that the troops of the 2nd Waffen SS Panzer Division had confused Oradour-sur-Glane with Oradour-sur-Vayres, a village about 15 miles to the southeast. This theory is undermined by the absence of any reference to an insurgent attack on the Germans near Oradour-sur-Vayres during this time period.For all the attention the killings have received, few of the SS men responsible for the massacre ever stood trial. Diekmann fell in combat three weeks after the massacre. German authorities refused to extradite Lammerding to France even though he was convicted and sentenced to death in absentia by the court in Bordeaux in 1953. German lawyers claimed that the German constitution prohibited the extradition of German citizens. The state prosecutor’s office in Frankfurt reopened the Lammerding case in 1961, but stayed the proceedings on grounds of insufficient evidence in 1964. Lammerding died in West Germany in 1971.In 1953, a French military court in Bordeaux prosecuted 21 former members of the 2nd SS Division for crimes committed at Oradour-sur-Glane and Tulle. Fourteen of the defendants were ethnic Germans from Alsace. The court convicted 20 of the defendants; it sentenced two to death and the rest to prison terms between five and 20 years. Amnesties and pardons, however, freed all of the convicts, including the two sentenced to death, within five years of the trial.The Waffen SS had drafted Alsacian men amongst its ranks.On the morning of 13 April 1955, Jean-Jacques Remetter stepped onto the station platform in Kehl, the German town directly across the Rhine from his native Strasbourg. He had travelled from Berlin wearing Russian clothing and carrying only a small wooden suitcase. He was worn and thin, and appeared far older than his 32 years. From the train station, Remetter crossed the Rhine bridge by foot into France, and made his way through the city, back to the family he had not seen since January 1943, when he had been drafted into the Wehrmacht. Remetter was one of the approximately 130,000 Frenchmen living in Nazi-annexed Alsace and Moselle who, after 1942, had been forced to serve in the German armed forces. After the war, these men became known as the Malgrd-nous (‘in spite of ourselves’).The nazis had a centre for recruitment and “Formation” of the SS in Alsace Lorainne.Sennheim - Cernay en Alsace : le centre de formation des SS français.For some in Alsace Lorainne, it became the “Mark of Cain”. A book has been written in fact, by a German soldier who in fact, was an Alsacian, “Guy Sajer”.Guy Sajer (born Guy Mouminoux, 13 January 1927 in Paris), is a French writer, author of Le soldat oublié (1965, translated as The Forgotten Soldier), and a cartoonist under the pen names Dimitri, and Dimitri Lahache. He is the son of a French father and a German mother: Sajer is his mother's maiden name.Sajer wrote about his experience on the Eastern Front during World War II in his book Le soldat oublié (1965; The Forgotten Soldier). He states that he was an inhabitant of Alsacedrafted into the German Wehrmacht at age 16, and that he fought in the elite Großdeutschland Division during World War II. The accuracy and authenticity of the book have been disputed by some historians.However, some authors and other Großdeutschland veterans have testified to the book's historical plausibility, even if they cannot speak to the specific events in the book. Lieutenant Hans Joachim Schafmeister-Berckholtz, who served in the Grossdeutschland during the same period as Sajer, confirmed in a letter that he had read the book and considered it an accurate overall account of the Division's battles in the East, while also noting that he remembered a Landser named Sajer in his Panzergrenadier company (5th co), the same company number Sajer mentions being assigned to (though there was more than one "5th Company" in the Division).Sajer himself struck back against implications of fraud or fiction by claiming that The Forgotten Soldier was intended as a personal narrative, based on his best personal recollections of an intensely chaotic period in German military history, and not an attempt at a serious historical study of World War II: "You ask me questions of chronology, situations, dates, and unimportant details. Historians and archivists have harassed me for a long time with their rude questions. All of this is unimportant. Other authors and high-ranking officers could respond to your questions better than I. I never had the intention to write a historical reference book; rather, I wrote about my innermost emotional experiences as they relate to the events that happened to me in the context of the Second World War." Sajer further stressed the non-technical and anecdotal nature of his book in a 1997 letter to US Army historian Douglas Nash: "Apart from the emotions I brought out, I confess my numerous mistakes. That is why I would like that this book may not be used under [any] circumstances as a strategic or chronological reference."After reading Sajer's latest letter, one of his staunchest critics, Spaeter of the Grossdeutschland Veteran's Association, recanted his original suspicions of Sajer: "I was deeply impressed by his statements in his letter. ... I have underestimated Herr Sajer and my respect for him has greatly increased. I am myself more of a writer who deals with facts and specifics, much less like one who writes in a literary way. For this reason, I was very skeptical towards the content of his book. I now have greater regard for Herr Sajer and I will read his book once again."The War was a disastrous tragedy for its innocent victims, who number into Millions of persons. It is very hard, difficult, to comprehend, that some of the “enemy” came from your own country or region. And to be a Frenchman wearing the Uniform of the Waffen SS is an impossible contradiction in terms to comprehend, but this, nevertheless is what sometimes actually also happened.I have read his book when I was working in England, and I remember, that he said: “he has spent all his years of his life after the events of the war, alone, and detached from the human condition”. Sajers German fiancee Paula was listed as “disappeared” after the war, likely killed in an air raid on Berlin.he had to serve several years after the war as an enlisted French soldier, to get his French papers.I am no lover of SS men, my own mother and myself were harmed by a SS escapee after the war, and totally despise what they did, but it is worth remembering, that they too were not all once as they became now. Had Hitler's madness not touched them, would they all have still been these murderers and criminals? History is filled with inconvenient facts.The whole affair of war and hatred harms everyone it touches or goes near it.Un documentaire suscite de vives critiques de la part de descendants de “malgré-nous”, enrôlés de force d'Alsace-Moselle dans la division SS Das Reich. Son réalisateur Michaël Prazan s'explique.Le 4 mars dernier, deux jours après la diffusion, sur France 3, d'Une division SS en France, Das Reich de Michaël Prazan, j’ai reçu d’une lectrice (Marie-Laure de Cazotte, historienne de l'art et romancière) un message indigné. Non par ma critique – une fois n’est pas coutume –, mais par le traitement réservé dans le documentaire aux « malgré-nous », ces Alsaciens-Lorrains incorporés de force dans l’Armée allemande et dont certains se retrouvèrent dans la Das Reich, division blindée responsable, entre autres crimes, des massacres de Tulle et d'Oradour-sur-Glane. Comme je le fais généralement en pareil cas, j’ai convenu avec elle de transmettre son mail à Michaël Prazan, qui a pris soin de lui répondre.« J’ai pensé que ça s’arrêterai là, me confie aujourd'hui le documentariste, auteur en 2009 d'un film de référence sur les Einsatzgruppen. Mais, peu après, j’ai commencé à recevoir dans ma messagerie personnelle des messages émanant de personnes dont un membre de la famille avait été incorporé de force. Des mails de reproches dans lesquels figuraient notamment les arguments de ce message que vous m'avez transmis [édité le 5 mars sur un site dédié aux malgré-nous], mais également des mails d'insulte. » Quinze jours après la diffusion du film, une lettre ouverte était adressée au Ministère de la Défense, demandant à Jean-Yves Le Drian d'exercer son autorité « afin que ce documentaire soit corrigé ».Des critiques adressées à Michaël Prazan dans son évocation, il en est deux qui retiennent plus particulièrement l'attention. La première porte sur la question du nombre d'Alsaciens-Lorrains incorporés dans la Das Reich. « Pas moins de 6000 », avance le commentaire du documentaire qu'on a pu voir sur France 3, et revoir sur Arte le 21 avril. Chiffre possiblement excessif, reconnaît aujourd'hui le réalisateur, mais auquel on ne saurait substituer un chiffre fiable. « Les documents qui permettraient de l'établir ont très vraisemblablement disparu, brûlés avec tant d'autres au moment de la bataille de Berlin, explique-t-il. De sorte qu'on ne peut faire que des extrapolations, des suppositions et des recoupements. La seule chose que l'on sache est qu'il y a eu 130 000 Alsaciens et Mosellans engagés de force. Beaucoup ont été versés dans la Wehrmacht sur le front de l'Est ; les autres dans la Waffen SS et (surtout en 1944, via la classe de 1926) dans la division Das Reich. »Le « chiffre » de « pas moins de 6000 » Alsaciens-Lorrains incorporés dans la Das Reich, avancé d'une manière par trop affirmative, ne sort pourtant pas de nulle part, comme le souligne Christian Ingrao, référent historique du film. Il « découle » d'une déclaration du colonel Albert Stückler, Premier officier d'état-major, en charge des affaires d'intendance, d'économie et de ressources humaines de la Division, selon laquelle chacune des compagnies d'infanteries de la division comptait au minimum 40 Alsaciens-Lorrains. Multipliez par 40 les 39 compagnies existantes : on obtient un minimum de 1560 Alsaciens-Lorrains. « Si l'on accepte ensuite - ce qui, je vous l'accorde, ne va pas de soi, ni dans un sens ni dans l'autre, relève l'historien - que les Alsaciens-Lorrains ont été incorporés de façon égale dans les différentes composantes de la Division, on peut partir du fait que la division compte pratiquement 19200 hommes et que le tiers d'entre eux seraient dans cette hypothèse issus de ces territoires incorporés au Reich, ce qui ferait dans cette hypothèse 6400 d'entre eux. C'est ce chiffre extrapolé qui est à l'origine du comptage maximum avancé par Michaël Prazan dans le film. » Et d'ajouter : « De l'effectif minimum [1560] et de l'effectif maximum [plus de 6000], aucun ne peut être tenu pour sûr. Tous deux sont des extrapolations. Ainsi va la recherche historique et il va bien falloir que les gens s'y fassent. »Dans la version du documentaire diffusée sur Arte, la prudence a conduit Michaël Prazan à transformer le « pas moins de 6000 » en un « 1000 à 2000 » pas forcément plus juste, mais tout du moins plus vraisemblable. Seule modification apportée au film, qui ne devrait pas plus satisfaire ses détracteurs, pour qui il « ranime des douleurs anciennes et choque considérablement les mémoires ».La seconde critique prédominante de ces détracteurs tient à la place que le documentaire accorde à l'Alsacien incorporé de force Elimar Schneider, seul à avoir chroniqué au jour le jour son passage dans la Das Reich. Raison pour laquelle Michaël Prazan a choisi de se concentrer sur sa personne et son parcours, plutôt que sur ceux d'un Hongrois ou d'un Allemand. « J'ai utilisé ses écrits mais, à aucun moment, je ne le juge. Marie-Laure de Cazotte peut bien invoquer « l'incroyable courage dont il a fait preuve lors de l'affaire de Tulle en sauvant deux hommes de la pendaison » - ce que je mentionne dans le film, en produisant un certificat -, je ne peux pas voir en lui un héros après avoir vu (et monté) l'interview qu'il a donnée en 1982 à France Télévisions, et dans laquelle il fait l'apologie de la Waffen SS. »Quant à l'impression de satisfaction, voire de contentement dégagée par la représentation du recrutement des malgré-nous que d'aucuns reprochent au documentaire, elle tient au caractère propagandiste des seules images tournées sur le sujet et que le montage utilise. « Je ne nie pas le drame des malgré-nous, insiste Michaël Prazan. Mais quelque chose m'a choqué dans les mails que j'ai reçus et dans les réactions indignés après la première diffusion du film : aucun ne fait mention des victimes de la Das Reich à Oradour-sur-Glane. Quitte à entretenir une mémoire victimaire, on peut avoir une pensée pour ces femmes et ces enfants brûlés vif dans une église le 10 juin 1944. »In 1981, authorities in the German Democratic Republic arrested and prosecuted Heinz Barth, a former SS Sergeant and platoon commander whose soldiers were among those who shot the men of Oradour-sur-Glane. An East Berlin court sentenced Barth to life in prison. Released in 1997, Barth died in 2007 at the age of 86.Photograph of the Machefer family in OradourThe Machefer family in Oradour. All of the people pictured here, except for the father, were killed by the SS during the June 10, 1944, massacre. Oradour-sur-Glane, France, October 1943.National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, MDIf anybody, French British, German or other, trying to tell you that the German occupation was “alright” and no bad things happened, do NOT put your confidence or trust in these persons, they are either terribly badly miss informed, or else they are revisionist nazi Apologists who make apologies bad lying excuses, for war crimes.And now, for some “personal” Editorial remarks surrounding the subject of “Apologist” Revisionist History books. (often written by “modern” non-war generation out of touch Englishmen who are closet nazi sympathizers).At least one of those “books” being written by a high rude, insulting and damned offensive Englishman from the South of France, who along with several others, stole my book notes, my French Resistance books maps witness accounts and documents from a seven-ton Motor home while I was tricked into visiting England (silly me!!!!!). They also smashed up everything, stole a rare and valuable statue of the Holy Virgin mary Our lady, and then, stayed there a time, using the toilet until it was filled up (like them) with shit, and then took Mobile phone pictures of this, to try to “somehow” say this was done by me. But everything they say and do is a fake story. The truth was they had me violently attacked, beaten up and robbed and fixed things to keep me trapped while they stole 250,000 worth of goods.Germany probes former SS men over French Massacre.I encountered this rather objectionable man in a restaurant Hotel in Marssac in the tarn a few years ago when I was staying there with my French wife. he likes to get “support in the independence corner” from his equally LYING English Southern-based friends, and likes to throw his “weight” (plenty of that) around at people sat defenceless at their dinner table. (he would NOT fare terribly well had he picked his moment to insultingly address me less safely!!!). Such behaviour is typical of a certain small and undesirable group of Britisher persons who operate a Pariah English colony in the South of Tarn Garonne. When intimdated or threatened with violence and hate speech by these types of troublemaker people, I prefer to rely on my “Metal” and stand my ground, than calling the Police.All of the young children shown in the pictures died during SS war crimes or were deported from german-occupied to the gas chambers run by the nazis,As for the apologist English book writers, …..Every single word they said is a lie, and I can produce many witnesses to debunk their fake claims, fake stories, and I have denounced them to the Gendarmerie of Police.The ONLY person around here in my country who “stinks of a toilet full of shit” is the criminal runaway one who did all this,(he has over 140 previous criminal offences in Wales and England for drugs, dirty money trafficking or burglary, and was paid and hired by former nazi runaway Waffen SS concentration camp “Doctor” (Nazi war criminal who killed children) and experimenter on children, who I exposed, also lately from Wales he died in October 15th, 2011) stole my manuscripts and now published it in England to claim the income from MY WORK as his own. Another collaborationist secret Right-wing nazi stooge, trying to pervert the facts, and make problems by treachery. I highly “Doubt” (i will try to remain as polite as possible under provocation) if this man is capable of even talking or quoting a SINGLE Historical fact without having a raft of stolen books under his seat. His TV (brief) appearance several years ago resulted in a letter from me for a high court injunction banning the publication of the book sent via Facebook, though I doubt he ever took any notice SHAME ON HIM.Septfonds was a German VICHY prison Camp near Caussade in Tarn Garonne.VICHY Deported thousands of Jewish people to die in German Death camps.

It usually means challenging the orthodox (established, accepted or traditional) views held by professional scholars about a historical event, introducing contrary evidence, or reinterpreting the motivations and decisions of the people involved. The revision of the historical record can reflect new discoveries of fact, evidence, and interpretation, which then provokes a revised history. In dramatic cases, revisionism involves a reversal of older moral judgments.At a basic level, legitimate historical revisionism is a common and not especially controversial process of developing and refining the writing of history. Much more controversial is the reversal of moral findings, in which what had been considered to be positive forces are depicted as being negative. This revisionism is then challenged by the supporters of the previous view, often in heated terms, and becomes an illegitimate form of historical revisionism known as historical negationism if it involves inappropriate methods such as the use of forged documents or implausible distrust of genuine documents, attributing false conclusions to books and sources, manipulating statistical data and deliberately mistranslating texts. This type of historical revisionism presents a re-interpretation of the moral meaning of the historical record.The term "revisionism" is used pejoratively by those who claim that revisionists are distorting the historical record. This is especially the case when it is applied to Holocaust denial.It is NOT pejorative to state the truth. it is pejorative to try to DENY that the real truth is these massacres and the Holocaust happened.In other words, falsifying the truth about History, and the Holocaust and SS Murders. Be in NO doubt, these massacres and Murders under German occupation are real, they happened, and the evidence proves it.DO NOT BELIEVE ANY SUCH OTHER OR CONTRARY CLAIMS.Beware Modern revisionist Materials. Beware those who try to say the things did not happen. THEY DID HAPPEN.Historical revisionism. ... It usually means challenging the orthodox (established, accepted or traditional) views held by professional scholars about a historical event, introducing contrary evidence, or reinterpreting the motivations and decisions of the people involved.This does not do justice to the memories of those who were murdered, falsifies historical facts, and tries to clean up and make appear somehow falsely (and undeservedly) “respectable” the nazi murderers who did them.It is a sad irony, that in fact, it was the English Army during the Boer War who first actually invented the evil of the Concentration Camp when they starved to death 20,000 Boer women men and children in a prison camp in Afrika.What is the Cause and Origin of the hatred of the jews?History is filled with inconvenient facts.Jewish Lender De Talmont comes to see the Sheriff, to collect his Loan repayment, but the Sheriff refuses to pay….And it was English as well as Continental Lords and Kings who borrowed Jewish Money to build their Castles, Cathedrals and other Monuments, and who then refused to pay back the loans, but rather, instead, chose to fabricate and engineer Riots and violent Pograms against the Jews to avoid repaying their debt with interest.Sarah: “Why do they hate us?”Joshua: “Because it is easier to hate than to understand. They hate each other for the same reason. No, no, for the same lack of reason.”Under ancient countries laws, the Jews were forbidden to work, they were only anciently allowed to practice “Usury” or the lending or Borrowing from them of Money with interest charged on the full amount of the Loans. This was the entire doing not of the Jews, but of the ruling regent. And it led to hatred and resentment by those who did not intend to repay back any of the money they had borrowed.Above Photo. Movie Remake. “Robin Of Sherwood” Originally Screened 16th march 1985. The episode “The Children of Israel”.Persecution against innocent Jewish people began many centuries ago, due to the lending and borrowing and interest charged on Money. (Hitler tried cynically to adopt this as his theory of the “International Conspiracy of Jewish Finance”). In fact, the persecution of the Jews began long before, after they were thrown from their home by Roman general Titus who ransacked and burnt down Jerusalem. The “Diaspora” or the scattering of the Jews dates from then into Europe.AD 70 roman General Titus destroys Jerusalem and Roman soldiers carry off sacred objects from Yahweh's Temple into pagan Rome.“Jesus asked them “Whose inscription is this, they replied Caesars. Then, Jesus replied, “payback, therefore, Caesar's things to Caesar, but Gods things to God”.A roman Empire Victory coin of Titus.The Roman Arch of Titus still standing among the ruins of Ancient Rome.Set during the days of Richard of Devizes, Movie Remake “Robin of Sherwood” depicted the time of the Anti-Jewish riots in England. In Medieval England, the Jewish De Talmont family loaned the Sheriff of Nottingham his money to build his castle and hall. But the Sheriff (played by Actor Nicholas Grace) refused to repay the loan and arranged instead to have all of the Jews persecuted and murdered. trying to steal the sacred Jewish book of sacred knowledge (Cabalah) he opens the stolen book and is immediately punished for his evil by Yahweh.De Talmont tried to warn him, but he refused to listen. “No !!! You must not read from the sacred book, it contains sacred knowledge never meant for profane eyes…”…...After the Sheriff received his Divine Judgement, In the confusion the outlaws attack, and Robin slaps the Sheriff round the face to bring him out of his trance.Sarah accuses Gisburne and the Sheriff of killing the Jews in Nottingham and says that they must die for this. Her father, however, says that they should be allowed to live.“The most beautiful thing anyone can do, Sarah, is forgive. It is also the sweetest form of revenge.”I think for me, this is one of the very hardest things to do, to finaly achieve the forgiveness to those who have abused you, beaten you robed you and persecuted you. It is also very much more healing in the end.It can break a cycle of repeating evil with a stronger force, a force for Good instead.Robin sends the tied up Normans on their way. Much picks up the sacred book of the Cabala and asks de Talmont what the Sheriff saw when he opened the book that sent him mad.“His own wickedness?”A moral warning for us all how we should act and live and the way we should treat others in this life. Wickedness and evil done in this world may appear to go unpunished, but there is a “next Life or World” where such evil acts are punished. but Good Kind Loving acts are also rewarded. And the truly repentant are also forgiven…………………………………………Another, much earlier lying Englishman and fake historian is Richard of Devizes. Whilst appearing to be outwardly respectable, and from a Religious or Monastic abbey or convent house, he is the first user in world History to use and name the word” Holocaust”. he also endorses and gave his support to it !!!!!!Controversial English Church Historian and Biased pro-Holocaust Chronicler Richard of Devizes.Richard of Devizes (fl. late 12th century), English chronicler, was a Monk of Saint Swithin Religious Convent house at Winchester...His birthplace is probably indicated by his surname, Devizes in Wiltshire, but of his life, we know nothing. He is credited by Bale with the composition of the Annales de Wintonia, which are edited by Henry Richards Luard in the second volume of the Annales Monastici. If this statement is correct, then the chronicler survived King Richard of England.In his account of the coronation of King Richard the lionheart in 1189 he was the first person to use the word holocaust when he described the organized anti Jewish riots and Massacres, the English mass murder of the Jews of London, although the use of this word simply refers to a " whole (holos) burnt (kaustos)" sacrificial offering to a god.Richard wrote an account of the violent Anti-Jewish Riots and Pogrms committed in England around the epoch the above Movie remake was set. .Now in the year of our Lord's incarnation 1189, Richard, the son of King Henry the Second, by Eleanor, and brother of Henry the Third was consecrated king of the English by Baldwin, archbishop of Canterbury, at Westminster, in the nones of the third of September. On the very day of the coronation, about that solemn hour in which the Son was immolated to the Father, a sacrifice of the Jews to their father, the Devil, was commenced in the city of London, and so long was the duration of this famous mystery that the holocaust could scarcely be accomplished the ensuing day. The other cities and towns of the kingdom emulated the faith of the Londoners, and with a like devotion dispatched their bloodsuckers with blood to hell.There is no empathy, Christianity or pity or mercy or any ounce of Human or Spiritual Compassion for the innocent Jewish victims to be found at all amongst his writings which are steeped in Prejudice... Richard of Devizes is supposed to be a Chrisitan, but his writing and account belie any such claim.Chronicon de rebus gestis Ricardi PrimiThe Chronicon de rebus gestis Ricardi Primi (1192), by which Richard of Devizes is chiefly known, covers only the first three years of King Richard's reign; it is practically an account of events in England and the Holy land during the Crusade. The narrator of the chronicle is a French Jewish cobbler giving advice to young French Christians intending to visit England.For the events of the crusade itself, some consider Richard to be a poor authority. But his account of the preparations for the crusade, and of English affairs in the king's absence, is valuable, in spite of some possible inaccuracies.A new reading has emerged recently of the Chronicle mostly due to the inordinate number of classical and biblical references it is laced with (see Anthony P. Bale's article, cited below). Rather than a true historical record, Devizes' account is now being read as an elegant satire and a challenge of contemporary Christian myths against the Jewish community and its mores; particularly those of ritualistic murders of Christian boys by the Jews of Winchester. It is however by no means a defence of the Jewish community. Others have seen the author as intensely conservative, steeped in the prejudices of his order, and can be seen as being hostile to the Jews and to the chancellor, William Longchamp.Devizes writes in a vivid and epigrammatic style; his Latin shows the effect of the 12th-century Renaissance in its polish and in its reminiscences of classical poets. He describesKing John of England as a raging madman who "emitted foam from his mouth".The editions of the Chronicon de rebus gestis Ricardi Primi are:Richard of Devizes (1838), J.
