The Alsatians drafted by force into the German Army during the Second World War : Denial, convocation and provo cation of memory, Geneviève Herberich-Marx, Freddy Raphaël.
Between 1942 and 1944, after the annexation of the Alsatian and Lorrain departments by the Third Reich, 130 000 men were drafted by force into the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS. After 1945, the « despite ourselves » experienced great ambivalence, both shameful for having participated against their will in the bloody Nazi adventure and fighting against scorn, claiming nevertheless a specific suffering. Denouncing France which had abandoned them, according to them, they corne up against an obstacle : how can one transmit the memory of an unutterable and unique experience ?
