Many of the people that I have met that lived through the war didn&#8217;t like talking about the war much. But somehow I had the privilege of getting many of the them that I met to open up and talk about it to me. Maybe not so much because of any personal quality I have other than being very persistent and curious &mdash; a pain in the neck is another way of putting it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we talked about many things, terrible things, great things, sad, and happy stories. But there was one thing I never heard anybody talk about, and that was indecision. Fear and regret, yes &mdash; everyone spoke of that, but not indecision. There was always an undertone of manifest destiny or complete meaninglessness.<\/p>\n<p>But, when you think about it, how could you not be indecisive when faced with this kind of calamity? How can you not wonder if this is destiny, or just bad luck? How can you not be shocked into a stupor, at least at first? And even if you&#8217;re an ideologically convinced partisan or combatant, how do you know for sure what the right thing to do is? Well, when you start looking into it all, those questions were pretty much what gripped France in 1940 after the sudden, tragic loss of independence.<\/p>\n<p>I think that indecision is not something we want to remember, perhaps we shouldn&#8217;t if we want to stay our course, perhaps we&#8217;re wired not to, so that we can focus better on what we finally decide. But for others who want to learn from our mistakes, and our successes &mdash; it is in the moment of indecision that we display our thinking, our reasoning, the true origin of our cause.<\/p>\n<p>I should also tell you that I grew up in France, so this is in many ways the story of the adults around me when I was a child.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 18 Dec 2019 Immediately after France is occupied by the Nazis in 1940, the French are divided about what to do; resist for collaborate?
