French Women Accused of Collaborating with Germans Punished | War Archives

In this segment, Women accused of collaborating with Germans are rounded up and their heads are forcibly shaved. The humiliating scenes often took place in front of jeering crowds. Members of the resistance were suppose to be doing the shaving but in fact many of them weren't from the resistance - they were in fact collaborators themselves seeking to divert attention away from themselves. Many of the collaborators were prostitues or young mothers whose husbands were in prisoner of war camps. The only way they could feed themselves and their children was to have a liaison with a German.
