HITLER TO CAPTURE THE WORLD? FRENCH RESISTANCE

Normandy post-bombing

LIBERATION OF FRANCE

After France was captured it has remained largely untouched. Now however D-Day has arrived and the allies are taking back France.

Yesterday, the Allies launched their attack on Normandy, the plan was to destroy the German communication lines with bombs while marching on the city.

This was successful however it may not have been worth it as very few German forces were actually harmed.

Before the Allies attacked Normandy they bombed it with 2,500 tons of bombs, the idea looked good on paper but what we didn't know was that the Germans had next to no troops in the city.

Over the course of the bombing, the same number of German soldiers died as French civilians. This act is bordering on a war crime and could lead to problems later on.

Other problems that arose were the lack of training that the soldiers had attained. The soldiers fighting had no training whatsoever in coordinating with

Civilians crushed by rubble

the air force. During the attack the allies lost 1,200 men and over 2000 aircraft.

What people are wondering is was this worth it for the French? Did this benefit them?

Well the answer is still yes! While there may have been many casualties during the battle, the people still welcomed us with open arms. The soldiers involved believed it was important because the more victories we have the more hope there is. The worst enemy of an army is the soldiers losing hope because then they don't fight for victory they fight for an end to their misery.

The French Resistance is a group in France who are fighting for the freedom of their country. Every day they risk their lives just in being part of this rebellious group.

The group remains secret by only allowing one member to know of one other member. This way if one person was caught they couldn't tell the Germans all the names of the group.

What the French Resistance does varies from sending messages, to popping tires on German jeeps. Often they broadcast messages to people who still have radios inside France. There are rumors of a underground newspaper that is created with an old newspaper machine, in a friendly print shop. This is commonly used to tell members of any important events happening.

As we neared D-day most of the people in the group were captured. How they discovered the members is still unknown. So sadly in the end most of the group was captured, killed, or worse.

However, those who were captured know that they had a large impact on the outcome of the war.. We can only hope that those brave French resistance fighters can be found again and saved.

Many people in france are fighting for their freedom.

Relaying messages out of France to leaders in the UK. Sabotaging train tracks popping tires on vehicles.

Very rarely do they actually get their hands on weapons. But they take subtle actions, such as destroy train tracks causing the trains to go off course which subsequently destroys supplies and weaponry.

This may not not have immediate implications but later on in the war every gun will count. With the amount of ammo they destroyed it will be all that much harder for the Germans to win

SUZANNE

Hi my name is Suzanne and I am a French Resistance member. I joined the French Resistance when I was fifteen. I was spy number 22 in Cherbourg, my hometown.

When I was 13 I was in the market square with my friend Yvette as the first bomb was dropped on Cherbourg. The blast blew of my neighbor’s head, and opened her stomach revealing her unborn baby. Yvette was scarred for life and still hasn't recovered. However, I made it through and continued on.

Now that I am in the Resistance I have to leave the house a lot to deliver my messages. My dear Papa has noticed my absence and is worried, bless his kind soul .

But he is forcing me to stay in the house should I leave anyway or should I stay to avoid angering my father.

Response pg.5

HITLER LEAKED

Recently, we uncovered a message that was written by Hitler himself. The document explains why Hitler does what he does.

Dear sirs questions have arisen as to why I do such things. This letter will explain everything you need to know. I started this war because I knew we had to purify the world. The world should be German and pure. All other groups are sinful, the U.S. is a group of rebel Englishmen. Those in the middle east are simply barbarians. Those are but a few reasons why we should purify the world.
