For a family of 6,yeah. During the siege workers had only around 200 grams of bread a day aka couple of pieces. Soldiers had around twice as much,with other populus getting around 100-150 grams. People ate all of their pets,pigeons,rats,mice,all of them. Only after a month the siege started,cannibalism started too. A soup made out of fine animal skin shoes was the best dish one could have. About a million starved,couple hundred others because of exhaustion,illnesses and german bombings. German bombs took way less lives than anything else,though. Mainly bombing not the people but the infrastructure and etc. ruining the starving and already practically destroyed city even more.

We had our own language here, Jerriais, but English was the more widely spoken one. Jerriais made a return during the occupation as it was close enough to French not to arouse suspicion, but not so close that the Germans who spoke French could understand what we were saying. Sadly, the language of my people is all but dead, with more and more native speakers dying each year and almost nobody learning it or speaking it at home.

Zirmas you realise that the allied military planning wanted the Germans to bypass the maginot line, the point of the maginot line wasn’t to hold off the entire German army it was to secure the flank of the army while the main armies of Great Britain an France link up with Belgium forces in a pre decided defensive line. there is a myth around how the French didn’t expect the Germans to go through Belgium again when of course they expected it and that’s what decided french defensive planning in the interwar period. What ultimately doomed the allies is that they didn’t concentrate their forces correctly

One thing about the artwork - The Germans never got the masterpieces from the Louvre like the Mona Lisa or the Venus de Milo. In 1939 all the artwork was split up and hidden in chateaus across the French countryside under the coordination of the curator, M Jacques Jaujard. The last piece of artwork left the Louvre on 3rd September 1939. The Mona Lisa had to be secretly moved five times throughout the war in a game of cat and mouse with the Germans.

[@FoxTrotteur]

@@Melnek1 They had not a legitimate claim if the population wouldn't join. Furthermore, they were not italian but savoyards (in Savoy) and Niçois (in the County of Nice). Local languages, cultures and cuisine of these areas were pretty much different of the ones of Italy, and even though italian was the official language of Piedmont-Sardinia, it was the mother tongue of only 8% of the population (and french was the mother tongue of 5%) in 1860 in the county of Nice, a hundred years before WW2. They never "forgot" that they were Italians because they never were Italians. They were occitans highly influenced by Italy. What you're saying is as false as if i was pretending that Dutch people forgot they were German because they have been close culturaly and and were at one point in history in the same political entity. Mussolini had no valid claim on these regions and neither did he on Albania, Ethiopia nor Greece. Oh! And by the way "France taking advantage of a desunified Italy" is complete bullshit. They supported the unification of Italy, and fought by its side against the austrians. The french then conquered Lombardy that was under Austrian control and immediately gave it to Piedmont-Sardinia. The county of Nice and Savoy are gifts for the help of France that was crucial in the Risorgimento.

If ONE of those hundred people was an asymptomatic carrier, I could have huge problems or death for a meal of chips and burrito.

There were those in the Reich who had it even worse than the French. The Slavs suffered even worse treatment because the Nazis regarded them as the most inferior, next to Jews.

And Poland was the centre of the Holocaust horrors, for it was where the Nazis installed the six death camps.

Now, after all of this harshness that Germans forced over French, it's pretty much shocking that german occupation policies in France were actually, comparing to the other countries, one of the most lenient! In some other countries, especially in Eastern Europe, (like in Poland, Soviet Union or Serbia) there were such measures that for any killed German soldier they would execute randomly chosen 100 civilians and for every wounded 50 civilians! Not to mention that massive ethnic cleansing and even genocide policies were introduced later! I mean, Nazis really did know how to make a occupation as hard as possible.
