Prisons and camps of the “Purification”: an infernal cauldron
by PIERRE-DENIS Boudriot, PhD in modern and contemporary history, author of L’Epuration [The Purge] 1944/1949
This is my translation of an article from the superb French WN weekly Rivarol, started in the 1950s, with the slogan: “When the people lose respect, they stop obeying.”
Number 3493 of November 10, 2021
Boudriot offers us, in a book published by Auda Isarn, a work that is particularly chilling, on the horrors of the prisons and prison camps of the French “Purification” ( = Allied word for the purge and retaliation against pro-German and anti-jewish patriots in France.]
At the end of 1945, prison statistics revealed 10,000 men and 4,000 women who had been sentenced to long prison terms by the courts, by exceptional tribunals. responsible for punishing the acts of “collaboration” [with NS Germany].
The prison “central houses,” [as they were called, “maisons centrales”] featured a regime that was particularly rigorous, disciplinary and unanimously feared, inflicted on both men and women, and involving a sentence of forced labor either for life or for several years.
There were also prison camps, as described by the author, which we do not mention in this review, that were meant for the [less active French patriots], and offered somewhat less painful living conditions.
These camps and these prison centers will feature, from the “Liberation” (June-August 1944) on, the massive coexistence, in ignominious promiscuity, of both underworld prisoners (common criminals) and the “politicals” (the patriots).
*** All degrees of collaboration with Germany 1940-44
Some French patriots loathed the jews and Masons, but most disliked the Germans, too, or at least Hitler, his regime, and national socialism, or, as Frenchmen, they were not anti-German but also did not want Germany to rule Europe.
Others, the wiser patriots, saw that whether one liked Germany or not, Hitler and NS were the only hope of France and of Europe, the UK, USA and USSR all being seen as jewish tools. Some even joined the French Waffen-SS to fight — under contract — only on the eastern front — and only against the Soviets.
A few French were actually enthusiastic and total Hitler supporters, not reluctant at all, showing a greatness of spirit. The French and German mindsets are really quite different, the one country being Latin, Keltic, fun-loving and easy-going.
The old French national anthem actually had lines like this, because the king in the song was a big skirt-chaser…
And the Germans, of course, all jawohl, super-strict and teutonic about things. 😉
Both countries highly respect each other, but there is not a whole lot of affection. I knew two Alsatians who, to my shock, had never in their lives crossed the border into Germany, just five miles away!
Germany literally scares the French: the sound of their language, the gigantic industries, the fanatic cleanliness, a nation that rises after every war it LOSES to somehow be number-one again….. “Do they ever enjoy life, or is it all just work-work-work?” 😉
Good video song in French by Patricia Kass, herself half-French, half-German, showing the French both fear and admire the Germans:
Anyway, what the French collaborators with the Reich DID agree on with the NS Germans was they all loathed the jews and their equally wicked Freemasonic lackeys.
So these patriots all were in big trouble after the war, and accused of treason, helping the enemy, etc.
The US Army estimated 80,000 French patriots were murdered without any trial, often by communists who were half the Resistance. Later, the chaos of illegal killings ended and Gaullist courts began holding regular trials of the “collaborators” with Germany.
Charles de Gaulle, the 6’5″ ruler of France 1944-46 (and also in 1958-69),
was an Establishment conservative, anti-“Nazi,” a democrat, and an anti-communist. And, as usual from our point of view, he was a mix of good and bad.
At least he prevented two completely awful outcomes:
1) He stopped the vicious French communists from coming to power. De Gaulle drafted the communists right into his French Army — “to fight the Germans, you see” — which thereby brought them under his direct military control…. and
2) he thwarted a total US military occupation, an “AMGOT,” an “Allied Military Government Occupied Territory” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Military_Government_of_Occupied_Territories)
Roosevelt had even printed up on his own new 100-franc French banknotes with a quasi-US dollar design…just to show who was boss…. Uncle Shlomo. De Gaulle had them gathered and burned.
This “AMGOT” would have led to an American-style “de-nazification” program such as was done on the poor Germans, with US jews and their lackeys totally running the country, US judges trying people and hanging them, and using the media and school system to inflict a massive guilt trip on the French (as on the Germans) about the Holofraud, antisemitism, bigotry, racism, etc.
This was an article I did in 2008 for The Barnes Review on de Gaulle — the good things he did: De Gaulle_January_Febuary2008
In fact, de Gaulle created after the war a patriotic myth, a pious lie, that the French had mostly been heroic resisters of German occupation and “tyranny,” and had been a big part of the military victory of 1945.
FDR, de Gaulle and Churchill — the Frenchman suspected correctly that Britain and America intended to literally occupy and directly run France after the war.
Wiki:
On 21 April 1943, de Gaulle was scheduled to fly in a Wellington bomber to Scotland to inspect the Free French Navy. On take-off, the bomber’s tail dropped off — and the plane nearly crashed into the airfield’s embankment.
Only the skill of the pilot, who became aware of sabotage on takeoff, saved them. On inspection, it was found that aeroplane’s separator rod had been sabotaged, using acid.[143][144] Britain’s MI6 investigated the incident, but no one was ever apprehended. Publicly, blame for the incident was cast on German intelligence, however, behind closed doors. de Gaulle blamed the Western Allies, and later told colleagues that he no longer had confidence in them.[144]
Of course, the Allies having won, the French people gladly endorsed this nonsense about being a nation of anti-Nazi Resistance fighters so the US and Britain would not dare occupy them as having been “pro-Nazi.” And then the French also got their Marshall Plan funds.
I read once in Aix-en-Provence in 2004 a great postwar book, La Gloire [The Glory] de la France, a beautiful patriotic work about great French achievements in the arts, sciences and technologies.
Garnier Palace, Paris
The French do see their country as “glorious” and in many ways it is true. But after the war, would there instead be an American-imposed guilt trip and national shame: the poor jews, we rotten Frenchies, and all that wallowing?
De Gaulle said non!
“It was just a tiny handful that collaborated with the Germans.” (Lie!)
“Everyone else was in the Résistance.” (Bigger LIE!)
At a discreet, high-level political meeting in Paris, someone objected to General de Gaulle that he was making all this patriotic, feel-good stuff up, and, umm, should we not maybe stick to the truth?
De Gaulle replied:
“La France n’a pas besoin de la vérité. La France a besoin de la gloire.”
[ = “France does not need the truth. France needs glory.”]
Oui, mon général!
And Brigitte Bardot 😉
***
In January 1946, there were nearly 30,000 men and women, accused and detained for political reasons, for a total penal population of about 66,000 detainees. In 1953, the total number of prisoners, political and common rights, will be no more than 25,000.
THE CENTRAL PRISON, TOTAL DEGRADATION
Journalist Philippe Saint-Germain says: “The central prison is what we fear the most. The people there were subjected to an iron discipline ”.
The former Charlemagne Division [of the Waffen-SS], Christian de la Mazière, sentenced to five years in prison in 1946 and struck with national indignity for ten years , was pardoned by Vincent Auriol in 1948. He left the central prison of Clairvaux.
*** “national indignity”
This was entirely an ad hoc way to punish collaborators with NS Germany, and the law ended in 1951.
Penalties incurred
National indignity is punished with the penalty of “national degradation”, for life or for a time (five years and more). National degradation leads to the banishment of the condemned and is part of the afflicting and infamous sentences . He loses a number of rights:
- exclusion of the right to vote ,
- ineligibility to be a candidate for office,
- exclusion from public or semi-public functions,
- loss of rank in the armed forces and the right to wear decorations,
- exclusion from management positions in companies, banks, the press and radio, from all positions in trade unions and professional organizations, legal professions, education, journalism, the Institut de France ,
- prohibition to keep or carry weapons.
The court can also pronounce prohibitions of stay of the condemned on the territory and the confiscation of all or part of the goods. The payment of pensions is also suspended.

De la Mazière adds:
De la Mazière, who became an impresario, with his friend from 1963-66, the singer Dalida
.
“It was total debasement”: an excessive number of prisoners in each cell, isolation, malnutrition, handcuffed wrists during transfers, endless waiting around, cramped cells, low ceilings, and a filthy dilapidation and unbearable stench that revulse the detainees.
And then, during intake in the central prison, there is the “absolutely total body-cavity search, which is indecent, coarse, and repulsive”, before the haircut comes, where they also shave their mustaches and beards off) and the assignment of a prisoner number, but even all this does not complete their forfeiture, Pierre-Denis Boudriot tells us
During the search, the guards proceed more particularly to the examination of the rectum, to the astonishment and to the humiliation of these purged ones, journalists, admirals, generals, and notables.
Everything takes place in the most absolute silence, to be observed day and night, in all circumstances, just as in the past, comments the author, “with the Cistercian monks in
their abbeys”.
The prisoners are invited to put on homemade clothes, foul smelling rags. They feel cold, terribly cold. And then, the stench is extreme, violent, indefinable, so much does it concentrate various putrid exhalations.
Henri Béraud (He won the most prestigious literary prize in France, the Prix Goncourt, in 1922 — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prix_Goncourt) relates:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_B%C3%A9raud
“The stench hits you, right in the face, like a slap.”
Alphonse Boudard goes further: “Prison is first and foremost a smell. A mixture: dead rat, cat piss, mold, various crap, feet with doubtful hygiene, leaking lighting gas, cold cigarette butts and then cabbage soup, the daily sourness of everything.”
The tubs, chamber pots, and pots are the attributes of the condition of being a convict. For Henri Béraud, the entire Poissy prison was one big latrine. The inmate becomes forlorn like a homeless person and regresses.
And then there are those heavy prison clogs. (These clogs are supposed to prevent prisoners from running and therefore easily escaping.)
They are designed to terribly bruise the feet, and they make a hard wooden sound from morning to night.
“A HETEROCLITE COLLECTION OF GOOD FELLOWS AND SCUM”
The prison is also a world in which informers thrive by their nature. Informers under the German Occupation, snitches in prison.
Journalist Pierre Malo notes that denunciations are, along with homosexuality and tuberculosis, among the main plagues of prison life, adding: “Half of the population detained in Poissy is made up of informers”.
[Lucien] Rebatet’s anger, of course, never cooled. [He was a great anti-Semitic and fascist writer, editor of Je suis partout (“I am everywhere”) a major French weekly 1930-44 that was ultra-rightwing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Je_suis_partout]
He discovers in the prison at Clairvaux “a motley collection of good chaps and scoundrels, idealists and imbeciles, cowards and heroes.”
The condemned political prisoners thus rub shoulders, with horror but also with fascination, with the complete boor, living in an almost vegetative state, being satisfied with his pittance and with total inaction.
The detainees are entitled, after lunch, to a half-hour “walk” in quick time, forming two circles turning in the opposite direction. Boredom is everywhere.
Rebatet says: “I am bored, fabulously, immeasurably, and desperately bored.”
Charles Maurras [leader and founder of “L’Action française”], however, benefits from appreciable conditions of detention, reading and writing a great deal. The time of confinement “is draining,” said Claude Jamet.
Some sink into chronic stupefaction, over the years losing track of time, a concept which even ends up being abolished. Miserablem, scummy rejects, they are reduced to just their organic functions, and the most affected lead an almost vegetative life, comments Boudriot.
.
A CLOSELY REGULATED HELL
.
In all places of the establishment, night and day, strict discipline reigns. Speech is prohibited. Any murmuring, whispering, or even moving the lips are ruthlessly punished. To the deprivation of speech is added the prohibition of writing. The possession of a piece of pencil or paper gets you put in “the hole.”
Hell is tightly regulated. The applicant’s hair is shaved for the first six months, he may not drink wine, but can smoke one cigarette a day. Then, after six months, he is entitled to three centimeters (1.2 inches) of hair, and a quart of wine. At the end of a year, if he has been “good”, he will have freedom about his hair, will be able to smoke three cigarettes a day and can write home five times a month, instead of three.
Several times a day, he is compelled to complete stillness in the same posture: his arms crossed on his chest. No question of turning your head, of making a gesture, of exchanging a glance, unless you seek the “disciplinary court of justice” and the Hole, a prison within the prison.
And then, surpassing in horror the Hole there is the discipline room, a place of torment and abuse inflicted in the style of the prisons for African convicts of the French army. Pierre-Denis recounts that, “wearing clogs that are too small in order to bruise the feet a little more, the punished pace around the room, in a round of dazed human rags of suffering and exhaustion,” covering up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) during the day. Some, badly beaten, never get up again.
Others, in pain and terror, sink into dementia. The prisoners of Clairvaux were, moreover, weighted down with a bag filled with bricks …
But what about the food in the prison? Until 1949, any inmate who was not punished generally received, in the morning, hot water “blackened” in the Viandox way (like “Maggi” from Nestlé), with bread, then at noon and in the evening a soup accompanied by a pittance, in administrative language: “Cabbage water and water cabbage,” says journalist Pierre Malo.
In Clairvaux, it was in 1948, carrot soup for lunch and dinner, the pittance consisting of a bowl of carrots with sometimes potatoes. Meat ? The convict is satisfied, at spaced intervals, to get a piece of tough horse meat, although it is boiled.
In Fontevrault, the menu includes a piece of cheese every fortnight, and on Sunday a portion of giblets cooked in water.
This is what the administration describes as “healthy and plentiful” food. But to earn a living, you have to work, for those who can. Intellectuals, renowned writers or prestigious officials will find themselves together at the stationery workshop, making labels for the SNCF [French Railroads], paper bags and envelopes, which seems logical.
Other prisoners weave “straw chairs”, a feared activity, because for hours, straw is plaited with bare hands in tubs of cold water . And the rest matches it for fun….
The detainees receive a miserable salary of seventy-five centimes, of which half, or even nine-tenths, are withheld by the administration for food, maintenance of prisoners and court costs.
EXTREMELY UNHYGIENIC CONDITIONS
The hygienic conditions are appalling. The available bedding is repulsively filthy. The director of the prison administration agrees, hence his circular: “Bedding should be cleaned more often and blankets washed at least once a year”!
Crowding, undernourishment, exhausting work, deplorable bodily hygiene, everything contributes to a rapid deterioration in the state of health of the prisoners, starting with the cold that some guards maintain out of pure sadism.
Showering is authorized once a month in Clairvaux, and every three weeks in Poissy. The convicts suffer from multiple pathologies, including scabies, smallpox, eczemas, stomach ailments, etc … But the mother of all ills is tuberculosis, due to the freezing cold of the dormitories and the Hole, and to the physical weakness caused by the hunger.
Some prisoners try to get out of this hell at all costs and do not hesitate to buy sputum from tuberculosis patients in the hope of falling ill and being sent to a sanatorium. Others willfully injure a leg, infecting it with dental tartar. Others “make” enormous abscesses, with stolen syringes, which earn them a stay in the hospital, which seems to them to be a haven of peace and gentleness.
“THE ATMOSPHERE IS A PUREE OF STUPIDITY”
Some purged people, coming from the political and literary world, deplore the deleterious effects of detention on the mind.
Lucien Rebatet vituperates, denouncing “the dreadful package of fools and scoundrels” and asserts: “The atmosphere is a puree of stupidity”. Henri Béraud declares that he is undergoing a “slow and nauseating wear and tear among the rejects of men”.
However, the situation will improve over the years. The rule of silence is no longer strictly observed, the right to write one letter per week granted, convicts from Clairvaux are authorized to do theater once a month, prisoners will be entitled to a free walk of one daily hour . We sometimes play Marseille ball, we even practice Basque pelota, the “prison sport par excellence”, says Pierre-Antoine Cousteau ironically. “Because what does it take to play this game?” A wall. And walls, we wouldn’t know what to do with them.”
The cinema will make its debut in December 1951 in Clairvaux. Pierre-Antoine Cousteau rediscovers in February 1953, dazzled, the radio of which he has been deprived since 1945.
Collective, individual, medical or pardon amnesty, the prisons will gradually empty themselves. Claude Jeantet, released in 1956, will be one of the very last journalists freed.

GIVEN THEIR FREEDOM BACK — BUT WHAT FREEDOM?
But sometimes it is prematurely worn and aged men who are freed. Pierre-Denis Boudriot evokes “these indigent inmates”, lonely wrecks, forgotten by all, who leave the prison with apprehension, provided with their paltry nest egg, and a railway ticket, allocated by the administration, with a pair OF glasses and some effects. Unable to adapt to their new existence, many of these destitute people will end up, alone and forgotten, in some asylum or hospice.
Others experience a “sweet intoxication”, a “moment of dazzling happiness.” They are lucky because, writes the author, “with others, the years of detention have often altered the life of the prisoner’s family, and above all, the life at night and during the day of his wife.”
The detainee will have waited all these years for the conjugal mail, parcels, the visit of his wife, always rarer for some detainees. Divorce proceedings are increasing. Pierre Malo recounts that, at the end of 1945, “an avalanche of blue paper [divorce documents] fell on the prison.” On his release, the former detainee must relearn how to live, to resume his place in a deeply changed home, reconnect with his own family, and with his children whom he did not know.
The wife (if she stayed) finds a man who is profoundly changed, diminished and often depressed.
Often, after the hell of the prison, there follows a new hell …

German Chemistry Ph.D. named Dr. Andreas Noack has apparently been murdered for talking publicly about razorblade-like nanoscale graphene hydroxides in the COVID vaccines, which he says cut up the insides of one’s blood vessels, and can cause instant death if accidentally injected into a vein rather than the shoulder muscle. What he says makes a lot of sense, and it would explain all of the heart problems and blood clotting, athletes dying, etc. The first video, by him, has English subtitles, but the second video, from his pregnant girlfriend or wife, saying that he’s dead, does not have subtitles:
https://mynews.one/german-chemistry-phd-murdered-today-for-this-warning
Here’s another article on this:
https://strangerinajewishworld.com/2021/11/28/dr-andreas-noack
Here’s that video of his girlfriend or wife with English subtitles. She says he was brutally attacked and didn’t survive the attack, but doesn’t provide any details, which is very suspicious. Why would she not describe how he died or who killed him? So, maybe this is just some type of elaborate Psyop by the German ZOG government? I don’t know:
https://odysee.com/@OzFlor:7/Noack:c
https://verumetinventa.wordpress.com/2021/11/28/dr-andreas-noack-wifes-video-with-english-sub-titles
Dr. Noack had apparently been arrested once before by the German police while on camera. Some have said this video was staged. Again, I don’t know:

Here’s a slightly longer version of the above video:

AH was right. This statement is beginning to be be proved correct. Since 1945, the global politicians are controlled by the zionist elites (Soros, etc). They are responsible for the world’s problems: wars, immigration, climate change, economic slavery, etc.
Control the banks — control the world.
Here is a Daily Stormer article from 11/20/2020, which discusses the on-camera livestream arrest of German Ph.D. in Chemistry, Dr. Andreas Noack at that time:

Here’s an article from today (11/29/2021) which discusses his still unverified murder after releasing a video on razor blade-like nanoscale graphene hydroxides in the COVID vaxxes. I’ve been unable to find out whether the story of his murder is real or just a German ZOG government PSYOP to lure in, and then discredit “COVID conspiracy theorists”:
