        Yeah, I’m surprised that the pursuit continued after the Nuremberg trials. Like Australia found 6.

        The French though? They didn’t fuck around. Goddamn lol. 10,000 - 15,000 executions. The US thought it was 80k, and the French minister said 105k, but those numbers are unlikely and the 10k-15k is accepted.

          The French don’t get enough credit for how badass they are. (At least here in America, where people don’t read enough history and learn out of propagandized textbooks for the most part.)

      They mostly were just professional secret police that freelanced. Some hunted people during White Terror/Red Scare periods, even.
