Who was in the wrong here?

DESU even anti demoted should admit that Dreyfus was unfairly accused and convicted
>>1850756
It became obvious that Dreyfus was innocent but the French government didn't give a shit because DAH JEEEEWS.
The whole affair was just retarded. Even the initial evidence they used barely held any water. I mean really? "This ripped up note I found in a trashcan as handwriting that is sorta like the handwriting of that one Jew officer we have."

Not because of "da Jews". Because of the Germans. Dreyfus was an Alsatian, which was already a cause of concern, he was apparently pretentious and unfriendly, worked briefly in contact with confidential stuff, his handwriting was similar to the one on the note found. Being a Jew was only the icing on the "this guy is the perfect suspect" cake. It was a nice addition to satisfy everyone, but it wasn't necessary. Revanchism was high. Paranoia was too. People wanted a traitor quickly, they got it.
He was innocent, and he shouldn't have been convicted. But he shouldn't have been rehabilitated either, a miscarriage of justice is better than losing face. A shame the real traitor, Esterhazy, fled to England.

>pol unironically believes that Dreyfus must have done it because da jooos
This shit is so funny because the actual story is a much more interesting conspiracy.
>someone leaks the documents about that artillery piece to the Germans
>it's useless intel, the French basically gave up the project, they want the German intelligence to focus on it so they will overlook their real projects
>the French counterintelligence wants to create the impression that this intel was actually important.
>we shuold create a great scandal over it
>they blamed a Jew because they knew that anti-semites are going to chimp out and it will be a shitstorm for years
