-
The German officers all left for Mont Valérien, the only place they felt safe.
-
The Liberation Committee was installed.
-
Mont Valérien is a fort from the time before the Paris Commune.
-
There the resistance fighters were shot. Each time the resistance attacked the German troops.
-
General Stüplinen ordered for every killed German, one hundred resistance fighters should be executed.
-
We identified 1015 corpses of people who had been shot between 1941 and 1944.
-
It was an execution place.
-
The Germans couldn’t move anymore, as all the streets leading there were barricaded by the resistance.
-
Some Germans were in the Paris water works. They had intended to blow up the water basins, but they were caught.
-
So there was a prisoner exchange between those Germans
-
and the last prisoners the Germans had taken, and had no nerve to shoot.
-
That is how we found out exactly what had happened to Louis Meunier.
-
Back to the Nazis in Mont Valérien: They refused to give themselves up to the resistance.
-
One of them said they would only give themselves up to the regular army.
-
Our commander went to see Colonel Rémy from the Leclerc Division,
-
who had been quarantined in the Bois de Boulogne with his brigade.
-
Colonel Rémy went up to the fort and they gave themselves in.
-
I didn’t have much time to enjoy the liberation.
-
During the transition period, I was responsible for the security of Raymond Barbet,
-
who was responsible for the resistance of the railroad workers.
