The RUTHLESS Execution Of The Female French Traitor Shot By The Resistance

Throughout the Second World War, in France there were many women who were seen as collaborators. A number had their heads shaved in public for 'sleeping with the enemy,' but one woman who betrayed her nation and gave over information to the Germans was Violette Morris. Violette was an athlete who had excelled in many sports in the decades before World War 2, and she was also a skilled fighter and boxer. But she would spent the years before the war in relative struggle, until Adolf Hitler invited the medal winning athlete to become part of his circle.
Violette Morris became a spy for the SD, and inside of France she would pass over military secrets to the Nazis. She would hand over key pieces of information about French defences, but her collaboration was well known and she became known as, 'The Hyena Of The Gestapo.' But the French Resistance in 1944 decided to put an end to her betrayal once and for all, and they carried out an execution which was brutal.

Never forget that Vichy France was totally on the Nazi side during WW2, even having combat fights with the Allies, but De Gaulle found it "inconvenient" in post WW2 to deal with this issue. Most of these women did what they did to survive and many without choice but with the exception of a few Vichy leaders that aspect of French history goes unpunished and unrecorded. Easier to brutalize a woman than diminish the "glory de Francais" I guess? So before we judge "betrayal" let's not forget how high the betrayal occurred and that NOTHING happened.

The Vichy government was a socialist left wing group who seized on the moment of the German socialist invasion to get into power . All of them should have been executed after the war but nope they managed to retain much control ! Even taking France full communist . France was not an ally in WW2 but a liability as much as Italy !

[@ms.annthrope415]

The French couldn't beat the Germans even when they had the most mechanized army in Europe and the vaunted Maginot Line. The Germans went around and reached Paris in 2 months. The French surrendered miles before the Germans even reached their positions. So who did they take their frustrations and humiliations onto? The women who slepted with the Germans who strutted around, going to their nightclubs and cafes, strong and virile, pending freely while the French army shriveled up like a wrinkled scrotal sack in cold water. Many women slept with Germans to feed their families. Some slept with German officers for protection. Some slept with Germans as they saw they would be he better off with the winners than the losers.

This number doesn't exist anywhere. To show how stupid this number is. Free French Forces were around 73000 from summer 1940 to 1943.... In summer 1944 regular French Army was to engage 260 000 maquisards from inner France. In summer 1940 no resistance organisation existed in France, so but they were already individuals who acted as resistant. For exemple on November 11th 1940 in Paris alone around 10 000 people mainly students gathered in Place de l'étoile to commemorate the armistice of 1918 and the victory over Germany despite the invader's prevention. In 1943 with the STO it's tens of thousands of French who joined the maquis. More reasonably it's believed 5% of the French were involved in resistance acts on a daily basis from 1940 to 1943. The same amount involved in collaboration from 1940 to 1944.

The British troops probably had mixed feelings. Sure the punishments were brutal and I am sure many Brits and Canadians felt a bit uneasy about them, but...... For a start they'd come from a country that had been bombed heavily by the Germans, they probably had friends or relatives who had been killed by Germans and they'd been subjected to five or six years of anti-German propaganda. On top of that they were being told by the locals, who they knew to be the good guys that had suffered under the Germans, that the people being punished deserved. They were traitors and collaborators. Then finally add the knowledge they needed the cooperation of the locals to ensure there was no trouble in their rear areas and large garrisons were not needed. Given all that, one can understand why British and Canadian officers (though probably not Dutch, Polish or Check ones) frequently ordered their men to turn a blind eye to examples of local justice.

It had to have been classified right? If it was public knowledge, then why would they need her? Were there other collaborators in the French government feeding her the info?

Perhaps work on where to use pauses (i.e commas in text) and, even more importantly, where not to e.g. "...she would meet a brutal and bloody end... alongside others...who were suspected of collaborating with the Nazis... with her body and car riddled in bullets..." reads much better as: "...she would meet a brutal and bloody end, along WITH others who were suspected of collaborating with the Nazis, with her body and car riddled WITH bullets..." Again, this is meant in the spriti of constructive criticism, and I've heard and seen professional broadcasters do this too, but I think mastering this aspect would take your videos to the next level. This is one of those times where I regret the lack of an feature on KZbin for contacting content creators directly. I do hope you will appreciate the spirit in which this comment is writen.

popular culture would have you believe that the whole of France was in arms against the Germans, the reality was France washed its hands of its national guilt by blaming and victimizing the easiest scapegoats. the girls and woman. If as popular culture would have us believe that France was in arms against occupation the axis powers would have required a greater number of troops in place to counter this resistance, it is quietly forgotten than the French were complicit in the deportation of Jews and other 'undesirables' to concentration camps, and also the thousands of volunteers that joined the axis armies

@@jondobbie5401 There are facts (what History is made of) and opinions. You are mixing both. This kind of assumptions about what the french should have done or not, in order to achieve this or that is not history. If you want to play that game then ask this question to yourself. This is summer 1940, you are a french father with kids and a wife you have to take care of, your country has lost the war, you are either prisoner of war or you have been recently freed and sent back to your family. What are you doing ? Do you keep fighting? There aren't any organized resistance group yet. Or do you stay under the radar (wait and see ) ? Do you want to risk your life and everything you have to fight the Germans? No, most (90%) of the french stayed under the radar, some collaborated, some entered various resistance groups within 2-3 years (between 100 000 to 200 000 resistant fighters of all age were killed). Don't tell me that you would have fought the germans right after the defeat!!! You are no better than the french from a moral stance. PS. Citing one of our leader doesn't prove anything.

You cannot prove that. You are overthinking and clearly leaving the History field . It was mostly due to the group effect, the excitation of the liberation, the accumulated anger against the enemy. These are more plausible and simpler explanations. I can also list thousands of heroic facts about the french during the 2nd world war.

[@carlhicksjr8401]

France has always been a society at war with itself. As an American, I deeply sympathize. The French Left and Right were so divided at the beginning of the War that many Right-wing militias and political parties actively sabotaged France's war effort in 1940 saying, "Better Hitler than Blum [a radical Socialist politician in line to become French President]'. And better than half the aid supplied to the Resistance was used in intercine battles amongst themselves for who would control France after the War. The revenge mobs against 'collaborators' should be looked at in this light. This does nothing to rehabilitate Morris' crimes, however. She was guilty spying for the SD and was a collaborator of the worst kind.

[@MoparMissileDivision]

If Morris was that great of an athlete, I can't even begin to imagine what kind of beatings and torture she could have committed even against defenseless men and captured resistance soldiers. She looked very masculine in the photo's.

Probably the way she was treated by the bureaucracy and other organizations over the years made her bitter towards her own country.

The "Carlingue" was NOT an office responsible to collect goods in France for the German State. The "Carlingue", a nickname by the way, was the so-called "french Gestapo". More precisely, the organization regrouping the french auxiliaries to the Gestapo. A bunch of Gestapo wanabees who were very useful to the nazis but who where probably never really considered real Gestapo members by them. They were not "at times arresting and torturing people"!!!! This kind of secret/political police activity was their main activity. And they also were responsible for organizing "counter-insurgency" units to go a fight pockets of armed Résistance units in France. The "Carlingue" was mainly composed of very shady characters, including gangsters basically, and they were indeed involved in the thriving black market in german-occupied France, for their own interests.

60,000 killed and 120,000 wounded on the french side during the Battle of France in just 6 weeks. That wasn't an easy fight for Germany and its allies. Please have a look at the casualties and losses on both sides before commenting. Please have some respect for the french soldiers who fought and lost their lives. The vast majority of them did fight and never threw away their weapons until they were given the order to do so from the top. By the way, many british people are alive today because some french soldiers died protecting their ancestor retreat in Dunkirk. It means that the British army also lost against Germany in 1940 in continental Europe !!!
