In take one, which I had to ditch because my sound recorder packed in half-way through it (but I didn&#8217;t notice, so carried on), I talked quite a bit about Wing Commander F.F.E. Yeo-Thomas AKA &#8220;The White Rabbit&#8221; who did a lot of organising the French Resistance, and I was also planning to talk about &#8220;R.A.F. blackmail sabotage&#8221; but perhaps that will come out in another video another day. Probably not, though. Never mind &#8211; sixteen minutes should be long enough for anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the figures I quote were fresh in my mind because I had just read them in <em>Dadland<\/em> by Keggie Carew. Another influential book on this video was <em>The White Rabbit<\/em> about Wing Commander FFE Yeo-Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>Lindybeige: a channel of archaeology, ancient and medieval warfare, rants, swing dance, travelogues, evolution, and whatever else occurs to me to make.<\/p>\n<p>\u25bc Follow me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lindybeige\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lindybeige<\/a> I may have some drivel to contribute to the Twittersphere, plus you get notice of uploads.<\/p>\n<p>website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.LloydianAspects.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.LloydianAspects.co.uk<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone--480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-51850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone--480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone--150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone--768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone--853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_2019-10-21-The-French-Resistance-\u2013-was-it-of-any-use-to-anyone-.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindybeige Published on 19 October 2016 Who organised the French Resistance?
