It was originally written in 1387 (the exact year that the barber and butcher were said to be executed.)

He said that he had discovered the pile of bodies in 21 Rue le Sueur in February 1944, but had assumed that they were collaborators killed by members of his Resistance "network".

He was charged with 177 crimes against humanity. Well, I like history in comics but it's a hard bargain. The author needs to keep the story interesting and "working", but also keep it as close to faithfulness as possible. The court rejected the defence's argument. On 4 July 1987, Barbie was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Four years later, he died in prison in Lyon of leukemia and spine and prostate cancer at the age of 77. [54]As the body count grew, Petiot knew he had to find another means of disposal. So he had two incinerators installed in his basement, and a lime pit for decomposition. Petiot volunteered for the French Army in World War I, entering service in January 1916. [3] He was wounded and gassed in the Second Battle of the Aisne, and exhibited more symptoms of a mental breakdown. Petiot was sent to various rest homes, where he was arrested for stealing army blankets, morphine, and other army supplies, as well as wallets, photographs, and letters; he was jailed in Orléans. In a psychiatric hospital in Fleury-les-Aubrais, Petiot was again diagnosed with various mental illnesses, but was returned to the front in June 1918. He was transferred three weeks later after he allegedly injured his own foot with a grenade, but was attached to a new regiment in September. A new diagnosis was enough to get him discharged with a disability pension. [3] Medical and political career [ edit ] Despite global outcry, Barbie was able to return to Bolivia, where the government refused to extradite him, stating that France and Bolivia did not have an extradition treaty and that the statute of limitations on his crimes had expired. [ citation needed] Barbie's close fascist friends knew who he was, but to the public Barbie insisted he was none other than his innocent alter-ego "Altmann";in the videotaped interview conducted by Ladislas de Hoyos, which he allowed, he continued to lie about never having been in Lyon, never knowing Jean Moulin or having been in the Gestapo. However, in the 1970s, the community of refugee Jews who had survived or escaped the war, openly discussed the fact that Barbie was the war criminal from Lyon now living on the Calle Landaeta in La Paz and frequenting the Café de La Paz daily.

The true story of one of history’s most prolific serial killers Marcel Petoit. During World War II, Frenchman Petoit used the guise helping Jewish citizens sneak out out Nazi-occupied France to target and ensnare his victims. With a known 26 victims, it is believed he carried out anywhere between 66-200 murders in only 6 years. The book only covers a small part of the overall story starting when a fire at Petoit’s apartment leads to the discovery of the partial remains of over 20 victims and the search and eventual trial of the Monster Petoit. Known for his ruthless cruelty, Barbie personally interrogated and tortured his victims from his headquarters in the notorious Hotel Terminus. His most famous victim was the hero of the French resistance, Jean Moulin, whom Barbie personally interrogated on a daily basis for three weeks. Moulin refused to divulge any intelligence to his captors, and died from the effects of his torture near Metz on July 8, 1943, on his way to captivity in Germany.

Oberg was captured in June 1945 in the mountains near Kitzbuhel by the U.S. military. He had been disguised as a private in the Austrian Army. He was sentenced to death by a British court before receiving another death sentence from the French in October 1954. On 10 April 1958, the sentence was commuted to life by French President Vincent Auriol, his successor René Coty then reduced it further to 20 years hard labor in 1959. [10] On 20 November 1962, Oberg was finally pardoned by President Charles de Gaulle and set free on 28 November 1962. [1] [a] a b c d Strothmann, Dietrich (5 November 1982).

In 1972, the Nazi hunters Serge Klarsfeld and Beatte Kunzel discovered Barbie’s whereabouts in Bolivia, but Banzer Suarez refused to extradite him to France. In the early 1980s, a liberal Bolivian regime came to power and agreed to extradite Barbie in exchange for French aid. On January 19, 1983, Barbie was arrested, and on February 7 he arrived in France. The statute of limitations had expired on his in-absentia convictions from the 1950s; he would have to be tried again. The U.S. government formally apologized to France for its conduct in the Barbie case later that year.In 1946, Barbie was living under an assumed name in Marburg, Germany, and worked with an organized group of Nazis to form a new German government. In 1947, a US Army Counter-Intelligence Corps (CIC) officer located Barbie, but instead of arresting him, the officer recruited the wanted war criminal as an informant. Between 1947 and 1951, Barbie supplied the American officials with information about French intelligence and Soviet and anti-communist activities in the US zone of occupied Germany.
