On the run from the Germans a small group of CNR held up in a basement, they watched as tanks went by with infantry following leading a group of prisoners. All the prisoners had been stripped of their clothes and shoes, arms tied and ropes around all the Mens necks connected among the Prisoners. A prisoner stumbled and fell, Fellow French Men who now fought for Vichy were also there and they were ordered to beat him with their gun butts as the others watched. The Man was beaten to death right before the CNR members eyes. The fallen Man was then cut loose and left as a dead dog would be as the others moved out of the area. Members of the CNR in the basement knew De gaulle had played them and they had but one mission, get back to Paris and wait for De gaulles return. So when the Allies did retake Paris the CNR would make sure that His return would be greeted with snipers of the CNR planning on to 'Pay Him Back'. As a Major force the CNR had been wiped out, the leaders of the various groups would now splinter and not trust others making the force even weaker. Through the Air waves across Europe of course De gaulle would play it for all it was worth, a 'Great Sacrifice' by Frenchmen for the cause of 'Freedom'.
