Would be a great chapter. Two issues with that. 1. I don't "hate" foreign travel, i just don't get the big bricker everyone gets with it 2. Benidorm isn't really foreign Link to comment

It'll be a thriller. From a paper round in Stobie to knobbing Neighbours starlets and down again. Link to comment

For Fecks Sake Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 'A Political Man' by a Scottish author called Jim McDermott which is his nineth book in a series about a German ex Paratrooper called Otto Fisher. Decent reads, full of history, Nazis, sex and cold war spy stuff. Link to comment

The Forgotten Highlander is probably the best WW2 biography I've read. A Gordon Highlander's story of surviving as a POW in the far east and return to civvy street.

Ke1t Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just yesterday I was listening to a bit on NPR from a woman who was a wee lassie during the deportations. She saw her favourite teacher sit down and refuse to get on board the train. There was no arguing or shouting from the Germans, they just put a bullet in the teacher's head and continued on with packing the rest of them in. I think when you've a gun at your head and you just watched someone get executed on the spot for refusing to get in the cattle truck, what you would or wouldn't do is probably subject to a great deal of change. EDIT: Since this is the Book Club, I'm going to recommend One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich, one of the few Russian books I can read without my eyes fucking bleeding. It has no plot to speak of, no happy ending, no terrific message about the indomitable human spirit. It's literally a single day in the life of a convict, Ivan Denisovich, as he tries to survive in the Soviet Gulag system. Link to comment

One of the main problems was that even if the messages reached their intended recipient they were not believed and were seen as being over dramatic and/or not factual. Strange that the messages wouldn't be believed after the way Jews were treated in 30s Germany. What did people think had happened to 6m absent Jewish folk!? Link to comment

Ke1t Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The Jews knew they were being rounded up and deported, but the Nazi propaganda made it seem like they were being sent to top notch resorts where Jews would be happy and comfortable as they awaited further deportation outside the reich. The showpiece camp was at Theresienstadt, where the Nazis would have foreign observers and the Red Cross come and see the Jew in his captive environment. It even had recreational facilities like a movie theatre, football pitch and an orchestra. Now if I had the option of being shot in situ for being a difficult cunt, or spending a few months at a Jew resort until I could be sent to America or Canada, then I'm getting on the cattle truck. The reality, unfortunately, was Auschwitz and Belsen. But, of course, by the time they found out it was way too late. Link to comment

You'd need to have been a bit daft to believe that's what was gonna happen. The whole of Europe was a battlefield at the time. Link to comment
