The execution of 48 French hostages by the Wehrmacht in retaliation for the death of the Feldkommandant, Lieutenant Colonel Karl Hotz, on October 20, 1941 in Nantes, provoked an unprecedented emotion in the country as it was the first mass execution in occupied France. Chosen from among the politicians interned in the Choisel camp since the spring of 1941, the hostages were almost all Communist cadres arrested for propaganda in the Paris region. They were elected officials, CGT trade unionists and activists such as the young Guy Moquet (17 and a half years old).
