“It is disturbing to know that while the Jews were being deported, the French were making love. But that is the truth”

this is the key that demonstrates that this man is a fuckin idiot :

if he knew a bit of psychology, he would know that people tend to focus on making love in stressing times, and even, if he just recalled his own life, he would have seen that is a basic mammalian comportment ; anyway I see there the explanation quoted by Simone de Beauvoir (? though I never red that from her)

There was a previous post on the former Paris exhibition,
many links were provided, that said, collaboration wasn’t a french discovering, and that was widely shared by the other occupied countries, but this “novelist” is taking his fantasms for granted.

The french population had not discovered the sexual emancipation till 1968 ; I can attest how my frequentations were supervised by my father.

“In the summer of 1940,” wrote Buisson, “France was transformed into one big naturist camp. The Germans seemed to have gathered on French territory only to celebrate an impressive festival of gymnastics”

yeah, I remember in my Grammar-school, we had to parade in shorts and or mini-skirts for the “fête de la jeunesse”, that was a remain of the Vichy times that has been forgoten for a few decades now,; anyway, I found that ridiculous, and chocking, in that way that we had to expose our legs (not lateron though )

a naturist camps, “nimporte quoi” whateva BS is OK for this man…

I have already spoken of that exhibition of the “sex in war” on my blog, I can’t find at which date for the moment, though one of my american friends saw it, and had the opportunity to visit this exhibition last november, he should tell about it, because he comes on board.

Though the paper article that I quoted didn’t mention that the pics were specifically from the last WWII, but also from WWI and all the wars that encountered France, no mention of these poor abandoned wifes whose husbands were prisonners, but more of “sex houses” or brothels girls, which were a french specifity of the 19th century till the end of WWII that was

And then when the Americans got to Paris, we were treated with the same sort of welcome no doubt.

Perhaps you would have preferred the tender mercies of the Red Army, or of the Romans and other ancient armies in the sack of a city (e.g. Vercingetorix at Alesia). Some of the rapes were also no doubt faked (Duke lacrosse team, anyone?) in an attempt to blackmail GI’s into giving them various things like money, chocolate and nylons or taking them away from the hellhole of wartime and post-war France.

Lone Wolf,

Don’t take it personally,

it’s a study made by one of your eminent teachers in criminology

Unfortunately, rapes are an inherent sin of the occupation armies

the percentage remains low, though more important and unpunished in Germany, the vainced country

But there was a different treatment in trial, wether you were Black or White

the rapes related are not fakes, they are reported in the army justice documents, from there Lilly started his researches, they were likely superior, cause the population didn’t systematically complained to the army police, because of their shame and fears.

Blackmail the GI… ? no, your guys were the corruptors, they bought their sex life through gadgets that they were largely provided to induce the population in adopting the capitalism culture… apparently that worked

Now, all the world armies have such comportment, (I put the exemple ofthe french army in Algeria too)

Luke37,

American woman is likely an human being, so no exceptional behaviour would be expected there too

for those who understand french Patrick Buisson gives a few keys about his book :(audio)

Well Mr Buisson is an extrem-right journalist, he describes more the Vichy admiration towards
the athletic german bodies, as for homosexual desires…

The point that was made when I originally saw this story was to destroy the myth of the “evil German occupation”.

By any sane standards the German soldier acted properly and correctly and if he didn’t he was punished.

Of course ANY story on this has bring in the Jewish suffereing as if all of France was Jewish. They were a persecuted minority get over it.

The list of that category in history is legion. Jewish people are no better than any other group Period.
