World War Two
1 day ago
There has not been as determined and organised of a resistance in occupied France as in, for example, Yugoslavia or Poland. Now that the Nazis have begun more aggressively combing the French workforce for slave labourers, more and more citizens are joining the French resistance. Is it fair to say that Eastern Europeans were more willing to resist, and Western Europeans more willing to collaborate? Or is it perhaps that we are all more willing to collaborate than we would like to admit even to ourselves, and it was simply that Eastern Europeans were forced into resistance sooner than Western Europeans? We’ll leave that to you.We’ll leave you with a quote from historian Tony Judt’s book Postwar and then let’s discuss:
In 1941 the Germans were able to run occupied Norway with just 806 administrative personnel. The Nazis administered France with just 1,500 of their own people. So confident were they of the reliability of the French police and militias that they assigned (in addition to their administrative staff) a mere 6,000 German civil and military police to ensure the compliance of a nation of 35 million. The same was true in the Netherlands. In post-war testimony the head of German security in Amsterdam averred that “the main support of the German forces in the police sector and beyond was the Dutch police. Without it, not 10 percent of the German occupation tasks would have been fulfilled.” Contrast Yugoslavia, which required the unflagging attention of entire German military divisions just to contain the armed partisans.
