Two people have asked you, and I’ll ask you again: the French people
killed by the resistance - were they caught in the crossfire,
collaborators, or members of competing branches of the resistance?
And what was the ratio of French to Germans? In Iraq, it seems to be
about 30/1, or maybe 300/1, Iraqis to Americans.
