Socialists generally do not support war and the Labour party in England has shown it’s contempt for British Servicemen by shutting all service hospitals and sending it’s wounded troops to national service hospitals where they are reviled by other patients and staff.
Poor equipment,pay,and over-commitment,together with attacks by anti-war protesters in some garrison towns makes life difficult.
A recent survey of 24,000 military personnel found that 47% of soldiers and army officers think regularly of resigning with 44% of the R.A.F. also giving consideration to the same idea.
Those anti-war socialists and pacifists had better consider the alternative which is shown in a book by Buisson,a photographic exhibition entitiled ‘The Parisians under the Occupation’and a new musical which has just opened in London called ‘Marguerite’. All show Paris’women fraternizing with German soldiers. Some 200,000 children of French mothers and occupying German soldiers were born during the period.
Even the fashion designer Coco Chanel embarked upon an affair with Hans Von Dincklage,a military attache and a noted spy. After the war Chanel was banished to Switzerland. She was not alone,many of the inner city elite overcame hunger the best way they could.
The women are not to blame,if their men cannot defend,women always come to terms with the conquerer. They admire strength and hate the privations of life as the underclass. All France’s soldiers were in prison in Germany. During World War 1 most of France’s best men had been killed and France was short of men so the Germans certainly did their bit to improve matters.
After World War 2 I met allied occupation troops who said you could buy many women in Germany for a box of cigarettes and I am sure that if Germany and Japan had won the war Anglo-Saxons in Britain and Australia would have been bred out. We are not exempt from Darwin’s ‘The Origin of Species’.
