  • Preface 1. Understanding and Representing the Occupation
    Notes Preface 1. Nancy Wood observes that Daniel Goldhagen’s controversial book Hitler’s Willing Executioners was especially criticised by historians for the fundamen- tal flaw of resorting ‘to acts of psychological projection that have no place in historiographical discourse’ (Wood, 1999: 93). Such traits more characteristic of fiction are in fact found in many popular history books, such as Martin Blumenson’s The Vilde´ Affair (Robert Hale, 1978). 2. Innumerable examples of less well-known figures caught between heroic and treasonable sacrifice could be cited. The future novelist Pierre Boulle, for instance, joined the Free French in Singapore in July 1941; captured by the Vichy authorities in Indochina, he was given a life sentence for treason and stripped of French nationality by a court martial in Hanoi in October 1942. After his escape from detention in late 1944, he was awarded the Le´gion d’honneur, Croix de Guerre and medal of the resistance. Many of the novels he subsequently wrote explore the shifting boundary between heroism and betrayal (the most famous being the source of the film The Bridge on the River Kwai). 3. Of the 75,500 Jews deported from France, 42,000 were deported in 1942 and 17,000 in 1943, while 80 per cent of those deported were originally arrested by the French police (see Froment, 1994, for further details on Bousquet). 4. The Vichy minister Pierre Pucheu was less successful in his attempt to trans- fer his allegiance from collaboration to resistance halfway through the occu- pation, since he was one of only four senior government figures to be executed for treason (in his case in March 1944; the others were Laval, de Brinon and Darnand, condemned after the liberation).

  • WW2 @ 80: Inspirational Men and Women from the Second World War Cared for at the Royal Star & Garter Homes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WW2 @ 80: Inspirational men and women from the Second World War cared for at The Royal Star & Garter Homes The Royal Star & Garter Home has been caring for the nation’s military since 1916. The Charity was formed to care for severely injured young men returning from the Battlegrounds of the First World War. Just 21 years after the end of that conflict, the world descended into battle again, and once more, The Royal Star & Garter Homes was there to Provide care to the nation’s injured trooPs. Now, as we PrePare to mark 80 years since the beginning of the Second World War, we look back and remember some of the men and women we cared for – Past and Present – who served in the 1939-1945 conflict with courage and distinction. Here are their stories. Denis Hills In 1997, The Spectator described Denis Hills as 'that Hero of our time'. He was best known as the man condemned to death by Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin. In 1975, whilst he was teaching in Uganda, Hills spoke out against Amin's human rights record in his book The White Pumpkin. He was arrested, tried and sentenced to death. Only an intervention from The Queen and then Foreign Secretary James Callaghan saved him. Hills had an extraordinary Second World War record. Serving with the King's Own Royal Regiment, he saw action in Iraq, Palestine and at Monte Cassino. In 1945, Hills, who spoke Polish, was involved in liaising to avoid the rePatriation of 10,000 Ukrainian PoWs who would have been sentenced to death under Stalin.
