Amedee Bussiere, the collaborationist Prefect of Police, exhorted a group of gendarmes to return to duty in the afternoon, but the men ignored him. Von Choltitz moved the curfew forward by an hour and sent 3,000 political prisoners east by cattle car to die in Buchenwald concentration camp as punishment for the strike, but he privately used the Swedish consul Raoul Nordling to ask Parisian officialdom to keep the city running as best as possible, promising “Paris would be neither defended nor destroyed, nor delivered to looting and arson.” (Zaloga, , 54).
