Recommended Posts

Waller, J. JOURNAL DE GUERRE DE JOSEPH WALLER SECTEUR DE THANN 1914-1918. 1991, 160 pages, 28x22 cm., Alsagraphic.

Don't recall if it deals with the occupation though. Will have a look tonight.

I wish someone would write a Stand To! article about the fact that France occupied German territory for the entire war. I have been there.

Paul,

YES - it was only pointed out to me by a German colleague at work whose family came from the Town. It seems to be very much overlooked by Great War Historians.

Overlooked by British historians, I take? There appears to be a growing number of books in French on this subject.

The mentioned book is a photoalbum with old postcards of the region and mainly shows the damage to Thann. Also maybe interesting photographs for you like French soldiers teaching German kids French. Some might object to calling them German since the region was seized by the Germans from the French, after it was seized by the French from the Germans, etc etc etc.... :rolleyes:

Regards,

Marco
