After the end of the war: official executions of traitors (military tribunals): 901 un-official executions: 9,000 There is a neo-nazi propaganda (the "revisionists", same people who say that there has not been a genocide of the Jews) which speaks of 100,000 un-official executions. Goebbels has successors. In 1986 a book has been published about that, the author is American (Herbert R. Lottman). The French title is "L'Epuration"; I don't know the American title.

Regarding the number of French victims during WWII (350,000 civilians +
213,000 military), I said (Wed, 21 Feb 90 10:53:20 EST) that they had
been killed by the Germans and their allies or friends. This is not
completely true, a part of the civilians has been killed by the bombs
of our own allies.

My posting was not a moral judgment, but a rectification of a previous posting. However, some of these bombings were not justified (I personally know one). If I have some time, I will look in further detail. Jean-Pierre Pharabod
