Ocupaciones y ocupaciones
Ahora que tan de moda está denunciar “ocupaciones”, salvo las de los okupas, que son 100% progres, no viene mal echar un vistazo a esta página sobre Stutgart en que se habla de la última postguerra europea y se compara el comportamiento de franceses y norteamericanos.
Since the French definitely wanted to conquer Stuttgart in order to carry out political demands on their allies, the residents of Stuttgart and the surrounding area experienced both occupational powers, and could compare them. The French (21 April - 7 July 1945), who had experienced the war in their own country, in the first days spread fear and terror, mostly with colonial troops (Foreign Legion) rape of women, deprivation of foodstuffs, removal of machines (demontage) and deforestation were etched in memory. The Americans were regarded - not just in Stuttgart - as ‘liberators’, although at first they had no desire to play that role. In any case they conducted themselves more properly than the French, but set to work harder in administration and undertook more vigorously the prosecution of former National Socialists. They were soon prepared, through deliveries of foodstuffs, to help the population, as the supply situation was worse than before 1945, and worst of all in the French Zone.
Comparamos:
-
Los franceses: violaciones, retención de alimentos, apropiación de maquinaria y deforestación.
-
Los americanos por el contrario se ponen rápidamente a distribuir comida a la población, por lo que fueron vistos como “liberadores”.
Otra cosa que se desconoce por aquí es que los franceses se querían quedar con parte del territorio alemán tras la postguerra. El Sarre lo soltaron solo en 1959, cuando un referendum dejó más que clara la preferencia de la población.
Ya lo dice un amigo mío progre (pero nada tonto): “Yo en caso de guerra quiero ser prisionero”. Y cuando la gente le mira exigiendo una explicación añade: “Prisionero de los americanos, claro está”.
