French Choose ‘Hun’ victims
London, May 21 - The French underground was reported today to be scrawling the following invasion-day slogan on walls throughout France: “Choose your Hun; there won’t be enough to go around.”
Part of the propaganda war but this short article caught my attention. It would force the issue of choosing a side for the Vichy. The use of the word Hun is a throw back to WWI but the word would still have an emotional patriotic element to it for the French.
Common American words for Germans would be “kraut”, “heinie”, “fritz”, “jerry”
