POSTWAR PERIOD
Gestapo Chief Is Angered
When French Youths Seen'
'. Enjoying Selves Bathing.
By Boyd Lewis
United Press Correspondent
Gerardmer, France, Nov. 28
(U.R) Gestapo Chief Heinrich
Himmler came here Sept. 7 to
confer with six generals and
developed a sadistic fury when
he. saw French youths enjoying
themselves.
That started a series of events
which ended only when the
' Germans, with the methodical
planning of a military campaign,
burned and blasted 30 miles of
the once beautiful Meurthe val
ley which was doted with fine
farms, homes and factories. .
Sixty-year-old Mayor Andre
Boucher told me about the
crime today amid the charred
ruins of the .town.
Homes Detroyed
Nearly all of the houses,
whether clustered in hamlets or
.isolated far up the mountain
aides, were destroyed. . . '
The residents returned later
and combed through the ruins,
finding a pan here and a dish
there. But there was nothing
that could not be put in a sack
and trundled away in a baby
carriage practically the only
vehicles remaining.
The Germans had taken all of
the carts, horses and bicycles to
haul away the major household
goods and possessions.
"The story begins with Himm
ler's visit Sept.' 7," Mayor
Bouchet said.
Himmler Angered
"It was beautiful weather
and Himmler went to the lake
for a cold bath.- He saw boys
and girls enjoying themselves
at the baths. He was surprised
and angered.
'"How is if he demanded,
that these French' youths are
able to amuse themselves while
the young men' of Germany
fight for the fatherland?" "
That night, the mayor said, a
German soldier brought him an
order, signed by Himmler, that
every male from 14 to 60 must
be assembled to build fortifica
tions for the Germans. The or
der warned that those who did
not report were to be appre
hended and , shot and if they
could not be found their wives
and children would be shot.
"On Nov. 8, the Gestapo came
and took all our men to the
mountains," i.he continued. "It
Was snowing but they had to
walk 20 miles to work. About
600 were taken to the woods '
but when they learned the- Ges
tapo planned to remove .them to
Germany, 800 escaped. '
"On the 18th the Germans -I
were gone and we were alone
In our ruins. On the 19th the
French arrived. There was no
demonstration. We were glad to
ee them but we could only
ay:
" What sorrow you could not
have come a day or two soon
