Abstract
Abstract French historian Marc Bloch (1886-1944) is an icon of the historical and human sciences. Not only his work on medieval and comparative history, but also his involvement in the Resistance and his heroic death are widely admired. However, the exact circumstances of Bloch’s joining the Franc-Tireur movement, his arrest and murder by the Gestapo are still surrounded by legends. In this essay, they are meticulously reconstructed, and in doing so, Bloch’s “confession” under Gestapo torture, which has been a kind of historiographical taboo until today, is addressed for the first time.
