It is impossible to understand the history of the 130,000 forcibly conscripted Alsatians and Mosellans into the Wehrmacht without knowing the fate of those who, by attempting to oppose the occupier, were repressed by the merciless Nazi military justice. Understanding what happened to those who resisted also means understanding why the others submitted in silence. This work, the fruit of university research drawing on largely unpublished archives scattered across Europe, finally describes the reality of the judicial repression of the Malgré-nous in Torgau, a town in Saxony that housed, among other institutions, the Reichskriegsgericht, the highest military court, and Fort Zinna, the largest military prison of the Third Reich — a veritable antechamber to penal battalions, concentration camps, the guillotine, and the gallows. How then can we understand that the French Tribunal Général in Rastatt freed the former judges of the Reichskriegsgericht after the war, without any form of trial?
