“The slaughter was awful. words cannot describe the scene. the poor, deluded black men would run up to our men, fall upon their knees and with uplifted hands scream for mercy, but they were ordered to their feet and then shot down.

18: Coco Chanel - You'll Nazi This Coming Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

When you hear the name Chanel, what comes to mind? For me, it’s the double C’s logo and the iconic little black dress; I love a great hat too! The world-famous brand has been around for decades. It seems to be the epitome of style, class, and sophistication. The founder Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, or Coco as most know her was a woman born in poverty who used her skills with a needle and a man’s affections to develop a brand. No, a lifestyle for the glitterati around the world.
But what if I told you that the founder of the luxurious brand had ties to not only working with Nazis but being romantically involved and living with one during the war? Not just a Nazi, but a Nazi officer! She would spy for him against her own countrymen and humanity.

Jacques Mesrine just couldn't decide what type of negativity to spew into the world. So, he caused as much mayhem his twisted heart could come up with. Jacques would commit robbery, kidnapping, and even murder. Known as a master of disguise, he would find pleasure in eluding and escaping his captors for decades before his violent end.
