Months after a courageous French resistance fighter stepped forward to disclose the execution of 46 German soldiers during World War II, an excavation has unearthed evidence supporting his claims. Collaborating archaeologists from Germany and France conducted a dig in the remote region of Meymac, France, where the alleged mass execution occurred. In July, they discovered a potential mass grave, although no bodies were found. However, they did uncover bullets, cartridges, and coins, solidifying the authenticity of the resistance fighter’s account. Determined to uncover the truth, an official from the French Veterans’ Affairs Office declared, “The bodies are definitely there somewhere. We are not going to stop now.”
The 98-year-old former resistance fighter, Edmond Réveil, recounted the harrowing events that took place after D-Day. As his detachment marched the prisoners, including a French woman suspected of collaborating with the occupying forces, through the countryside, orders were issued to execute them. Réveil, refusing to partake in the act, watched in anguish as the prisoners were coerced into digging their own graves before being mercilessly killed. Although the excavation has been temporarily halted, the search will resume once a thorough analysis of the area and findings is completed. Our efforts to uncover the truth about this dark chapter in history will persist. (Read more World War II stories.)
