Great article by Duncan Johnson. I think i'll keep my guns.
Countless books have addressed the atrocities committed by Hitler’s dictatorship, but none have focused on the Nazis’ repression of gun owners until legal scholar and historian Stephen P. Halbrook’s eye-opening 2013 exposé, Gun Control in the Third Reich: Disarming the Jews and “Enemies of the State.” Now Halbrook uses his considerable investigative and storytelling talents to reveal another forgotten chapter in the history of World War II in his latest book, Gun Control in Nazi-Occupied France: Tyranny and Resistance.
Focusing on the years 1934 through 1945, Halbrook provides the key that unlocks the secret history of France’s occupation under a brutal regime and the developments that helped lay the groundwork. Here at last is the story of France’s pre-war political convulsions, its restrictions of free assembly, its gun-registration laws, the invasion and occupation by Nazi Germany, the repression and execution of gun owners, popular resistance and, ultimately, liberation.
Drawing on newly discovered documents from German and French archives, diaries, and newspapers of the time, Gun Control in Nazi-Occupied France not only adds tremendously to our understanding of World War II, but it also remedies a longstanding gap in memory: neglect by historians of the men and women who risked the firing squad by defying German-issued decrees to surrender all firearms...
