*Picture yourself as an American soldier in the Alsatian winter of 1944, keeping watch beside a campfire. The night is eerily silent, your thoughts drifting to home. Suddently, a hand seizes your throat, accompanied by the chilling sound of a knife sliding from its scabbard. The unseen figure searches your chest, grasps your dog tags, and briefly clinks the two metal pieces emblematic of the American soldier before sliding back into the darkness.*
Lucky for you,
the figure recognized the American dog tag.
(**Context**) In 1944, as the Allies pushed through Alsace, driving the Germans back, they faced only scattered resistance. For the task of “*nettoyage*” , the French term for mopping up the remaining German defenses before reaching the more formidable Vosges defenses.
The French thus unleashed the Goumiers. Fierce, knife-wielding tribal warriors from North Africa hunted down stragglers and sentinels with ruthless precision.
By morning, Allied troops would stumble upon grim scenes: dismembered German corpses, and groups of Moroccan Goumiers counting the ears they collected.
