"In the behavior <strong>of</strong> the allied occupation troops and the fulfillment <strong>of</strong> the Armistice terms by the<br />
Allied <strong>of</strong>ficials in Germany, every sign <strong>of</strong> the spirit <strong>of</strong> revenge and bitter resentment reached its<br />
fullest expression - so much so that the American, Herbert Hoover, who was a prominent and<br />
exceptionally humane witness <strong>of</strong> all that happened, was compelled to declare, '<strong>The</strong> Allies are sowing<br />
hatred for the future, they are piling up agony, not for the Germans but for themselves... In after<br />
years, the mine the allies have planted will blow up in the faces <strong>of</strong> these world peace-makers.'" -<br />

ATROCITIES IN THE FIELD<br />
"In January 1950, the German magazine Das Neue Weltbild published a list <strong>of</strong> alleged war crimes<br />
committed by the British, part <strong>of</strong> a file prepared by the Germans during the war for trials to be held<br />
when they won. <strong>The</strong> magazine's 150,000 print-run sold out in Germany within minutes. <strong>The</strong> chief<br />
allegations were;<br />
1. That on May 29th, British troops at Dixmude, Belgium, killed 150 Belgian troops who wanted to<br />
surrender to the Germans after hearing about the capitulation <strong>of</strong> King Leopold.<br />
2. On June 16th 1940, British troops in the French village <strong>of</strong> Veurne massacred civilians who refused<br />
to leave their homes.<br />
3. In June, 1940, British troops at Ardres plundered and manacled captured Germans."<br />

AND THE FRENCH....<br />
"Police records at Stuttgart show that during the French occupation, 1,198 women were raped and<br />
eight men violated by French troops, mostly Moroccans. D. Karl Hartenstein, Prelate <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Evangelical Church in the city estimated the number at 5,000. Frau Schumacher, Secretary <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Police Women's' Section in submitting a documented report on numerous rapings, said that on the<br />
night the French evacuated the city, a child <strong>of</strong> nine was raped and killed, her mother was also raped<br />
and shot, and her father killed by Moroccans. In the town <strong>of</strong> Vailhingen, with a population <strong>of</strong> 12,000,<br />
for example, 500 cases <strong>of</strong> rape were reported." So it went on in areas occupied by the French."<br />
David Darrah, Stuttgart, Chicago Tribune Press Service, July 24th 1945<br />
"We passed some <strong>of</strong> the French Senegalese (West African) troops on the way into Stuttgart. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
were paid little or nothing by the French, but they were permitted to loot and rape at will; that is part<br />
<strong>of</strong> the agreement.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> days before, I had been told that in French-occupied territory it was required that a list <strong>of</strong> the<br />
occupants <strong>of</strong> every building, together with their ages, be posted outside, on the door, and that both the<br />
Senegalese and the French soldiers, drunk at night, would go from door to door until they found girls'<br />
names listed <strong>of</strong> any age they wished to rape. As we drove through Stuttgart we saw that each main<br />
door <strong>of</strong> the habitable buildings contained such a list - white sheets <strong>of</strong> paper tacked onto the panel - a<br />
column <strong>of</strong> names, a column <strong>of</strong> birth dates. And most <strong>of</strong> the women <strong>of</strong> Stuttgart show in their faces<br />
that they have gone through hell."<br />
