I really like what I’ve read of it so far! Of all of the History and Military Channel WWII shows I’ve watched, I can’t believe I haven’t heard about this!

The Germans were a practical bunch. Once many of them realized the war was lost to their side, they looked for ways to ‘switch sides’ or get captured safely. Unlike the Japanese who fought to the death.

Steven Spielberg, how did you miss this story? That would make a hell of a movie.

It's interesting that these people ended up German prisoners slated for execution. With the notable exception of Reynaud, most of them supported the armistice rather than continue to resist the Germans.

World War II movies are so... ‘America-when-America-was-still-America’ -ish.
Nothing about this story would interest liberal Democrat Hollywood.
Ubama has been elected and re-elected.
Nowadays we have a sodomized, feminized military and a socialist welfare state populated by moochers, cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be “redistributed” to them in exchange for their votes.
It’s the new, Democrat America. Congratulations to the Democrats.
