Right Now He Wanted Not To Be Slapped, But To Be Thrown Under The Wheels Of The DeSoto That Was Passing.

“Right now he wanted not to be slapped, but to be thrown under the wheels of the DeSoto that was passing. [...] Panic seized him; he waited for the next claused to strike like an ice pick – because you'll never be seeing me again.”

— Thomas Mallon, from Fellow Travelers

On Today's Date, 21 February, The Resistance Fighters Of The RED POSTER (l'Affiche Rouge), Were Shot

On today's date, 21 February, the Resistance fighters of the RED POSTER (l'Affiche Rouge), were shot in 1944.

This poster is one of the most important, and most notorious propaganda posters of the entire World War II. In late 1943, the French police arrested 23 members of the Manouchian-Boczov group of immigrant communist resistance fighters. They were tortured, tried, and executed. To defuse public anger over the executions, the German propaganda officials published this poster, detailing the nationalities, etchnicities, and 'crimes' of 20 members of the group, including the leader, Manouchian, credited with 150 deaths, 56 assassination attempts and 600 wounded. The captions read, at the top, "Liberators?" and below, "Liberation! By the Army of Crime".

However the poster had the opposite effect: instead of being condemned as "terrorists", the public admired them as freedom fighters ; posters were frequently graffiti'd "DIED FOR LIBERTY & FRANCE", and flowers appeared beneath them. After the war, a poem, set to song and known as "L'Affiche Rouge", became very popular in France.
