Re: Strasbourg Evacuation 1939
Well, it's a very touchy matter over here.
Alsacians were neither French nor German and both at the same time!
Anyone coming in from outside Alsace was refered to as "French from the interior" and still is even nowadays.
However, most of the Alsacians (and Lorrans) "impressed" into the Wehrmacht called themselves the "malgré-nous" (against our will). They fought on the German side with little eargerness and few of them volunteered to join in the SS Division Charlemagne.
