The Assassination of King Alexander and French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou on the Streets of Marseilles, France on October 9, 1934. #AssassinationofKingAlexander 1934 https://amzn.to/4i1PR19 "King Alexander and Louis Barthou, Shot Down in Streets of Marseilles by Revolutionists. Furious Spectators Batter Bulgarian Killer to Death As His Victims Die. Alexander Murdered" - "Universal Newsreel brings you the First Actual motion pictures of the murder of King Alexander of Jugoslavia and French Foreign Minister Barthou." The footage shows scenes of the King arriving on a cruiser at Marseilles, riding through the town, then shots ring out, and after the King's death is confirmed the assembled crowd beats the Bulgarian assassin to death. the police are unable to contain the violence. Earlier that same year French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou had been trying to create an alliance that would contain Hitler's Germany. This alliance contained many of France's allies in Eastern Europe like Yugoslavia, together with Italy and the Soviet Union. The long-standing rivalry between Benito Mussolini and King Alexander had made Barthou's work much more difficult as Alexander was wary about Italian claims against his country together with Italian support for Hungarian revisionism and the Croat Ustaše. In mid-1934 Barthou assured Alexander that France would strong-arm Mussolini into signing a treaty under which he would renounce his claims against Yugoslavia. Alexander believed that Barthou's plan was a non-starter, noting that there were hundreds of Ustaše being sheltered in Italy and there was strong evidence that Mussolini had financed an unsuccessful attempt by the Ustaše to assassinate Alwxander in December 1933. Mussolini believed that it was only Alexander's charisma & charm that was keeping Yugoslavia falling to pieces and he was sure that if Alexander were assassinated, then the country wou disintegrate into civil war, thus allowing Italy to annex certain regions of Yugoslavia without fear of reprisals. Barthou invited Alexander for a state visit to France to sign a Franco-Yugoslav agreement. Because there had been deaths of three family members on Tuesdays, Alexander refused to undertake any public functions on that day of the week. On Tuesday, October 9, 1934, however, he had little choice but to begin his visit in Marseille in order to make a bold stance with France in their "Little Entente" alliance. As Alexander's motorcade slowly moved through the streets, a Bulgarian assassin, Vlado Chernozemski, moved forward and shot the King twice and the chauffeur with a Mauser C96 semiautomatic pistol. Alexander died in the car and was slumped backwards in the seat with his eyes open. Barthou was also killed by a stray bullet fired by French police during the scuffle following the attack. Lt-Col Piollet struck the assailant with his sword. Ten people in the procession were wounded, including General Alphonse Georges who was hit by two bullets as he tried to intervene. Nine people in the crowd that came to see the king were wounded, four of them fatally. Among them was Yolande Farris, barely 20 years old, on Place Castellane, who came to the Palais de la Bourse to see the king. She was hit by a stray bullet and died at the Hôtel-Dieu on October 11, 1934. Mrs. Dumazet and Durbec, who also came to see the king, also died. This event was notable as it was one of the first assassinations to be captured on film; the shooting took place in front of the newsreel cameraman, who was only metres away at the time. While the exact moment of shooting was not captured on film, the events leading to the assassination and the immediate aftermath were. The body of the chauffeur Foissac, who had been mortally wounded, slumped and jammed against the brakes of the car, which allowed the cameraman to continue filming from within inches of the King for a number of minutes afterwards. The film record of Alexander I's assassination remains one of the most notable pieces of newsreel in existence. This video is in the public domain.
