quotes from the French resistance

md8579992 — 2024-04-18 14:30:56 UTC

“In Paris, I found myself surrounded by Germans; they were all over the place. They played music, and people would go and listen to them! All along rue de Rivoli, as far as you could see from place de la Concorde, there were enormous swastika banners five or six floors high. I just thought, This is impossible.

Imagine that someone comes into your home—someone you don’t like—he settles down, gives orders: “Here we are, we’re at home now; you must obey.” To me that was unbearable.”

― Pearl Witherington Cornioley, Code Name Pauline: Memoirs of a World War II Special A
