harribobs is an unknown quantity at this point
I found it quite disturbing to read that the french actually deported their own (Jewish) people without the assistance of any germans from Vichy to the camps, I understand they were given a quota and told to get on with it, which they did with vigour

I know degaulle's solution was to brush it all under the table, he created a myth of a resistant France united against a common, foreign enemy, 'we were all part of the resistance' (paraphrased, i can't find the quote)
