Warning issued by the German authorities 

 © Roger-Viollet Providing housing for Allied soldiers or aviators and possessing arms, even a simple hunting rifle, were considered acts of war. Furthermore, in 1941-1943, in response to attacks, the occupying forces took hostages, nearly 400 of whom were shot in the "Gross Paris." Beginning in 1942, deportations became the favorite method of repression. More than 10,000 inhabitants of the Department of the Seine were deported for the purpose of repression.
