Relying on multiple eye witness accounts and thorough research in French, American and Rsistance archives, the author describes in Part I, hour by hour, the massacre on June 10, 1944, by the Waffen-SS Division Das Reich, of 642 men, women and children in the village of Oradour-sur-Glane and the destruction of the village.. Who ordered the massacre? Why ? The book puts the tragedy in the context of the D-Day Landing and the period that precedes it. Part II is devoted to the conduct of the trial nearly nine years later. Of the 21 accused, only 7 were Germans. The others, all French/Alsatians, had mostly been forcibly inducted into the SS. None were officers. Were the Alsatians victims or murderers? And why were there no officers in the courtroom?

On June 6, 1944, tens of thousands of American soldiers, sailors, and airmen assaulted the German held coast of France at Normandy. Some were killed, some wounded, and all of them were changed as the battles raged against Rommel and his defenders. They fell for yards of sandy beaches, for critical roads, bridges, villages, towns, and cities. Together, we will travel to those places, and we will relive all the bravery and horror, all the mistakes and honor, as we learn their stories - Chasing Rommel.

It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Several instances of war crimes trials are familiar to all scholars, but in order to advance understanding of the development of international criminal law, it is important to provide a full range of evidence from less-familiar trials. This book therefore provides an essential resource for a more comprehensive overview, uncovering and exploring some of the lesser-known war crimes trials that have taken place in a variety of contexts: international and domestic, northern and southern, historic and contemporary. It analyses these trials with a view to recognising institutional innovations, clarifying doctrinal debates, and identifying their general relevance to contemporary international criminal law. At the same time, the book recognises international criminal law's history of suppression or sublimation: What stories has the discipline refused to tell? What stories have been displaced by the ones it has told? Has international criminal law's framing or telling of these stories excluded other possibilities? And - perhaps most important of all - how can recovering the lost stories and imagining new narrative forms reconfigure the discipline? Many of the trials examined in this book have hardly ever before been discussed; others have been examined only in the most cursory manner. Indeed, until now, no volume has been dedicated to telling the story of these trials, that have yet to find a place in the international criminal law canon. Providing a detailed analysis of these trials, which took place in Europe, Africa, South America, and Australasia, in both historical and contemporary contexts, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the development of international criminal law.

This collection of essays has been compiled in honour of Professor Eddy Wymeersch on the occasion of his retirement as professor at Ghent University. His main international academic peers explore developments on the crossroads of company law and financial regulation in Europe and the United States, providing a unique view on the dynamics of regulatory competition in an era of economic globalisation, whether in the fields of rulemaking, organising the mobility of capital or the enforcement of rules. The deepening of European financial integration and the transatlantic regulatory dialogue has generated new paradigms of rule-setting in a multinational framework and reinforced the need to develop adequate instruments for co-operation between regulators. Regulators increasingly use concepts such as equivalence or mutual recognition to regulate cross-border relations.

Shortly after D-Day, an SS Panzer unit massacred 642 men, women and children in the peaceful French village of Oradour-sur- Glane. Nearly nine years later, 21 members of the unit faced trial in France. Only seven of them were German, the others were French Alsatians, most of whom had been forcibly inducted into the SS. But who ordered the massacre, and why? Were the Alsatians victims or murderers? And why didn't any of the SS officers involved face trial? Oradour-The Final Verdict provides dramatic answers to these questions, and a compelling and up-to-date account of a monstrous war-crime and its aftermath.

S'appuyant sur les multiples témoignages rapportés après la guerre et sur des recherches minutieuses dans les archives locales et internationales, Douglas W. Hawes décrit dans un premier temps, jour après jour, heure par heure, la marche de la division Das Reich qui réduisit le village en cendres après en avoir assassiné les habitants. Qui commanda le massacre? Pourquoi? Le livre replace la tragédie dans le contexte particulier du Limousin et de la période qui précède le débarquement. Un second volet est consacré au déroulement du procès, près de neuf ans après les faits. Parmi les inculpés, sept seulement étaient Allemands. Les quatorze autres, tous Alsaciens, avaient, à l'exception d'un seul, été intégrés de force parmi les SS – des malgré-nous. Des vingt-et-un, deux furent condamnés à mort et les autres à des peines d'emprisonnement allant de cinq à huit ans. Les Alsaciens étaient-ils victimes ou coupables ? Et que dire de l'absence des officiers SS au tribunal ? Quelques années après la première édition de ce livre, l'exploitation des archives de l'ancienne RDA a permis de retrouver six anciens SS soupçonnés d'avoir participé au massacre. Aux États-Unis, Douglas W. Hawes a pu lire le rapport et le mémoire, resté confidentiel, d'Ector O. Munn, chargé par Harry Trumann d'enquêter sur place trois mois après les événements. Il en dévoile ici les conclusions. Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée Douglas W. Hawes, ancien avocat à New York, vit en France depuis 1989.

On June 10 1944, four days after the Allied invasion of Normandy, the inhabitants of a remote village in South-west France were rounded up by a company of SS soldiers and all but a handful were shot or burnt to death - 642 in total. The atrocity and its particularly disturbing details have never been adequately explained. In 1982, Robin Mackness met the one man left alive who held the knowledge which made sense of the massacre. It cost Mackness 21 months in prison.;Convinced that he was not embarking on anything illegal, Mackness agreed to carry out an unusual task for a Swiss bank, of which he believed he was about to become a director. The "task" swiftly became a nightmare as he found himself falling foul of the French and Swiss law. He made the painful decision not to reveal the names of his banking colleagues or their client and was thereby sentenced by the French authorities who were deprived of an even bigger catch.;In prison, Mackness began to research the background of the extraordinary story he had been told by the bank's client and five years of investigation convinced him that he had discovered the true secret of Oradour. His sources include members of the French Resista
