A French woman has her head shaved as a public punishment for collaborating with German soldiers, 1944.


This was a common punishment for 'collaborating' with or having more intimate encounters with a German soldier.

During World War II, women in France who had had dealings with German soldiers were shaved bald so that everyone could see that they had betrayed their country.

The women were often paraded around once their heads were shaved to publicly shame them.

Sounds like whoever came up with this punishment read The Scarlett Letter one too many times!

Given the circumstances of the war, what would the french society rather have the women do when the German soldiers made advances at them. The Germans had the guns, the food, and ultimately, the power.

In a war situation, people sought measures to survive. The French women having romantic/sexual relationships with the German soldiers was definitely a means to an end.

From the text.."women who had collaboration/dealings" ....Doesn't sound like a gun point or forceful dealings...( Why are u trying to make them victims?.. if they were forced or raped which is common in war, there will be evidence

But They willfully dated the enemy who made advances at them or other forms of collaboration..,the same enemy killing their fellow French men and women?during active war?


They should have added oraimo cord to the shaving.. ...that's almost like espionage.... If they were men, it would have been a more serious punishment or could have been death

Lolz, you sound naive. Soldiers invades the country, kill and plunder at will and you're insinuating that the women had conscientious choices to make. In an era when mass rape was considered a weapon of war. If the ladies refused the polite advances, the next step is coercion into a relationship/sextionship. They would be joking with their lives and/or the lives of their family members if they do not comply. Some ladies needn't be persuaded even. They know its the price to pay. Being in a romantic relationship was also a means of protection from being passed around between the soldiers.

France should rather flog their men for initially running away to Britain and leaving their women at the mercy of the Germans.

The soviet army didn't even ask for a relationship, they mass raped the German women to their satisfaction. It was so horrible, some women killed themselves before the Soviets met them.

Naive?? Guy Keep this ur condescending talk ....

U don't fvck the enemy that's killing ur fellow country men.....that's all shades of unpatriotic and absurd...coming here to form victim about it is even more absurd.....

jamesversion:


There is absolutely nothing condescending about it. Im only giving you free enlightenment. Take Nigeria for example, with the insurgency in the North. When Boko Haram kidnapped christian girls and women and married them off, why didn't they resist until death. Afterall Boko haram are fighting against Nigerian state.

That a human will give up her life when there is a way out is anti human and even unbiblical.

Job 2v4
New Living Translation
Satan replied to the LORD, “Skin for skin! A man will give up everything he has to save his life.
