 | | In the European Breakfast thread this morning, Fran cites a French almanac, Hérodote, telling us that on today's date, 21 February, the Resistance fighters of the Affiche Rouge (Red Poster), were shot in 1944. |
 | | The Affiche Rouge was put out as anti-Resistance propaganda, presenting the Manoukian Group as dirty, dark, dangerous foreign extremists with (of course) unpronounceable names. |
