Exhumation.

This is coolbert:

"We were under the orders of an Allied command center at Saint-Fréjoux, and they were the ones who gave the orders to kill them"

Allied atrocity World War Two. A subject that arouses the instantaneous interest of some.

"French Resistance man breaks silence over German prisoners executed in 1944"

By Hugh Schofield | BBC News, París.

"Excavation [exhumation] work is to start soon to find the bodies of up to 40 German soldiers who were executed by the French Resistance in June 1944."

"It follows the testimony of an ex-Resistance fighter who recently broke eight decades of silence to reveal how the Germans were shot in a wood near Meymac in central France."

"Edmond Réveil, 98, is the last surviving member from the local branch of the FTP (Francs-tireurs et partisans) Resistance group, and personally witnessed the mass execution at a place called Le Vert."

FTP as needs to be noted communist organized French partisans WW2.

Tit-for-tat retaliation the shooting of civilians and military captives hardly a unique phenomenon in wartime. Even understood better within the context of events as transpired in France, that period of June 1944. The day of reckoning for the German was now at hand, the war becoming a no-holds barred fight between the German invader and the French resistant!
