Chronology of Repression and Persecution in Occupied France, 1940-44
Date:
19 November, 2007On May 10, 1940, the German offensive put an end to the “drôle de guerre” (“phony war”) that had begun in September 1939, an eight-month period during which France had entered the conflict but was not waging war. Until then, the French military High Command had chosen a defensive strategy; the Blitzkrieg (“lightning war”) carried out by the Wehrmacht, or German army, demonstrated the failure of that option. On May 15, the French front was breached, and after the German attacks on the regions of the Somme (June 7) and Aisne (June 10), French defeat was complete. On June 10, the government left , which the German troops entered on the 14th. One week later, they were in the city of Bordeaux. The French debacle was massive. More than 90,000 soldiers died in combat, 200,000 were wounded and 1,850,000 taken prisoner.

Elmer’s appointment had come about after concerns were voiced over soldiers’ keeping potentially rabid squirrel monkeys as pets. To circumvent the subsequent ban on all animals within army ranks, Gwynne’s avian stage property was bureaucratically anthropomorphized “in appreciation” of its “successful mission in entertaining the Troops of our Armies.”[1] Elmer provided the intended morale boost to the theater troupe, despite later requiring protection when Jack Gwynne noticed poorly nourished soldiers in the remotest part of India and Burma gazing longingly at the bird, leading him to appoint a dedicated bearer and guard.[2]
This story of magic’s presence within the theater of war emerges during a period of relative optimism for the Allies during the closing months of World War II. However, the anticipation of hostilities and the entr
