Archaeologists discovered evidence of the mass execution by the French of German military after landing in Normandy during the Second World War, reports the Air Force.
For the first time, the 98-year-old war veteran Edmond Rhound spoke about this 80 years after the events.
After the statements of Revea, French and German archaeologists began to search for evidence.
Excavations were conducted in the commune of Memac in the central part of France, where according to Ravei, the mass execution of the German military took place.
At the excavation site, shells were found from the weapons of German, American and Swiss production, which was used by French rebels during the Second World War.
In 8 days of excavations, archaeologists have not discovered the remains of the bodies of the German military, but intend to continue the search.
earlier in an interview with the Air Force, the roar said that a few days after the landing in Normandy (June 6, 1944), the French rebels captivated the German military, forced them to dig their own graves, and then massively executed and buried.
“They (the German military) knew that they were waiting for them. They took the documents, examined family photos. The soldiers did not cry. They were shot in the chest from a distance of 5 or 6 meters,” said Ravay.
According to Ravei, we are talking about 46 German soldiers and 1 Frenchman who was accused of complicity. Ravay said that he personally did not kill anyone.
