Maybe the time has come for real historical revisionism. There were plenty of Nazi collaborators in France and elsewhere. We have this myth of the widespread resistance but a large part of the country collaborated.
Moving to other regions my uncle swore the local Ukrainian militia was more brutal than the SS. He said the local militias did the dirty work on numerous occasions.
The role of collaborators needs get additional emphasis.

"but a large part of the country collaborated. This is simply not true, France was occupied and while what you may say could apply to the Vichy government. This in no way is the truth when refering to the Free French. Understand the differences as this offends those that where NOT part of the Vichy French puppet regime.
