They called it the épuration sauvage, the wild purge, because it was spontaneous and unofficial. But, yes, it was savage, too.

We also don't hear enough about all the French, German, Dutch, Belgian and Italian women who were raped and brutalized by their so-called "liberators"--the Anglo-American armies that swept through Europe after D-Day, and earlier, as in the invasions of Sicily and Italy in 1943. German military personnel were by comparison, well behaved in these occupied countries, and the Wehrmacht had strict penalties for men who raped and otherwise mistreated these women and other civilians. Many of the American soldiers who engaged in these acts were niggers, such as in the Stuttgart train station incident in 1945, while their superiors and the Allied occupation authorities either looked away or even facilitated it.
