Abstract
The slaying of the French consul. Jean Moulin, and the German consul, Henry

Greek history. Owing to a series of tragic coincidences and a breakdown in the
machinery of the Ottoman state, the Turks unjustly murdered two innocent young
men. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons which led to this tragic
killing, to elucidate some of its more obscure points, and to look at the events in
their true perspective.
