Location of Maillé in France

TheMaillé Massacre refers to the murder on 25 August 1944 of 124 of the 500 residents of the commune ofMaillé in the department of theIndre-et-Loire. Following an ambush a few days before and in reprisals against activities of theFrench Resistance, Second Lieutenant Gustav Schlüter and his men organized themassacre and burnt the village. Forty-eight children were among the dead. TheSS unit believed to be responsible for the massacre is the SS-Feldersatzbataillon 17 of17th SS Panzergrenadier Division Götz von Berlichingen (Lieb, 2007). In contrast toOradour-sur-Glane, the village was rebuilt after the war to its pre-war state (Delahousse, 2008).

Development of events

[edit]

On the evening of August 24, 1944, skirmishes between theFrench Forces of the Interior (FFI) and German troops took place near a farm in the commune of Maillé.Gustave Schlüter, commander of the German control post atSainte-Maure-de-Touraine, mobilized his men and two train-mounted artillery pieces (Chevereau & Forlivesi, 2005; Delahousse, 2008; Payon, 1945; Lieb, 2007).

The next morning, Maillé was closed off by German forces. One artillery piece was destroyed by the attackingRAF. The first farms were then set on fire and their residents killed. At about noon, theSS entered the village and the systematic killing began. Some wounded who had pretended to be dead were later shot down when they attempted to escape (Chevereau & Forlivesi, 2005; Delahousse, 2008; Payon, 1945).

About 1:00 pm the artillery bombardment began, demolishing the village and any who might have survived the initial onslaught. The soldiers were also there to ensure that survivors were shot on sight. By late afternoon calm returned, and the few survivors could only look upon the spectacle with sadness. The intervention of abbot André Payon was needed so that they could leave to take shelter in neighboring villages.

In less than four hours, entire families were slaughtered by theWaffen SS, many of whose soldiers were only 16 and 17 years old (Chevereau & Forlivesi, 2005; Delahousse, 2008; Payon, 1945).

Commemoration

[edit]

The principal bibliographic resources are the memoirs of abbot André Payon, published for many years by theConseil Général of theIndre-et-Loire (Payon, 1945).

Since March 9, 2006, a memorial museum, La Maison du Souvenir, has been open to the general public in the Café Métais, in Maillé. The museum shows collections of photos and artifacts commemorating the village of Maillé and those killed during the massacre (Chevereau & Forlivesi, 2005; Delahousse, 2008; Payon, 1945). A German study on German anti-partisan warfare in France during the Second World War revealed some new facts on the possible SS perpetrators (Lieb, 2007).

Prosecution

[edit]

Gustav Schlüter was condemnedin absentia inBordeaux in 1953, yet he died peacefully at his home in Germany in 1965 (Chevereau & Forlivesi, 2005; Delahousse, 2008).

On August 1, 2005, the public prosecutor ofDortmund, Ulrich Maass, reopened the inquiry, resulting in a visit to Maillé in July 2008. It was clarified that Germany has no statute of limitations on war crimes (as long as the accused are Germans or were in the service of the Axis during World War Two), and German judicial system reserves the right of initiative in such cases. (Chevereau & Forlivesi, 2005; Delahousse, 2008)
