Les Bombardements Alliés Sur La France [French]

By Francois Robinard

Text in French

Au cimeti?re am?ricain surplombant Omaha Beach, sur l'immense carte grav?e dans la pierre, des ?toiles de c?ramique rouge indiquent les bombardements des Alli?s. Les touristes ?trangers ne se rendent pas compte de ce que ces ?toiles symbolisent pour les Fran?ais, douleur, drame et parfois incompr?hension. Comment faire la guerre ? des amis ? Le temps a suivi son cours, rejetant dans l'oubli la souffrance des Fran?ais sous les bombes alli?es; l'Histoire ne retiendra de ce d?luge, qui a emport? des dizaines de milliers de vies civiles, que la lib?ration. « C'?tait le prix ? payer pour notre libert?. Est-ce qu'une jeune maman retrouvant son enfant mort sous un mur ?croul? pensait alors ? la libert? ? Ce livre passe en revue les villes fran?aises qui eurent ? souffrir de ces bombardements fratricides, leurs acteurs, leurs motivations et leurs machines. C'est un devoir de m?moire envers nos compatriotes civils, qui furent plus de 60 000 ? p?rir du fait des Alli?s.

**********

At the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach, on the huge map carved in stone, red ceramic stars indicate the Allied bombings. Foreign tourists do not realize what these stars symbolize for the French, pain, drama and sometimes misunderstanding. How to wage war on friends? Time has run its course, casting into oblivion the suffering of the French under the Allied bombs; History will only remember the liberation of this deluge, which claimed tens of thousands of civilian lives. "It was the price to pay for our freedom." Did a young mother finding her child dead under a collapsed wall and think of freedom? This book reviews the French cities which had to suffer from these fratricidal bombardments, their actors, their motivations and their machines. It is a duty of memory towards our civilian compatriots, who were more than 60,000 to perish because of the Allies.
