You might dis/like this - though it's worth noting there was segregation on the USA bases in the UK and they requested that business impose segregation, though that request was generally met with negative response both from government and locals.

>It wasn't 2022.

This not only implies that it wasn't an injustice in 1940 and that nobody was against it at the time, but that in the same context today, the British government wouldn't intern refugees from enemy combatant states.

Think about what you're saying.

I mean lets be fair, the Soviets pursuit of Denazification was way more stringent and effective than the Wests, lets not try and pretend otherwise. The East German state was basically build from scratch because of their denazification processes.

These events helped model the modern UNHCR, much of it with British encouragement and input.
Those were febrile times, paranoia was high. It's a times like that we need guidance from more level-headed legislation.

It happened to Hungarians like my grandfather too.

Edit: not that anyone ever talked about it (or anything else from this period, for that matter). I learned it from my father shortly before his death, although the phrase he used was "undesirable alien" rather than "enemy alien". He also told me that the only time his parents spoke Hungarian in his presence was when they argued. But he dismissed the idea that there was a link between how they were treated and his parents' determination to bring up their sons to be so thoroughly English; assimilation was just the norm at that time.

In the case of the UK, they rounded up every German and Austrian citizen. No matter if you were just arriving or had been living in the UK for years/decades. People who were organizing opposition to the Nazis from the UK for five years already were interned. Didnt last long for most of them, but still pretty stupid.

If things get bad enough that my USD is more valuable as tinder than as currency, gold is unlikely to be much use to me either. At that point you'll be best off with firearms, ammunition, gasoline, food with long shelf life, acreage, and an agricultural education.

I can't remember which of Ambrose's books it's in, but an African American Soldier recounts how he was being shipped somewhere (to/from training probably) and stopped to get food. There were German POWs eating in the store but he and his fellow black soldiers were taken around the back and fed out the back door because of the color bar.

Theres a war in Albania?

Same thing happened with LGBTQ people who were in the camps: No liberation.

So did the Soviets. Operation Paperclip had competition on the Soviet side of the wall.

Of course we probably won't ever see documents about it since they were either destroyed or Russia would implode due to their current reasoning for the Ukraine conflict.

Thanks for professional input 👍🏽

Presumably it was his parent/s that were, not unreasonably, considered a security concern, and keeping him with them was preferable to taking an infant away from their parents.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Until it doesn't. If there is ever a SHTF event, the paper stuff might make good burning tinder. The coins only worth whatever base metal they are made of. The viking hoard was silver. Worst case scenarios, the owner could of melted it and had it recoin to a new silver coinage or traded for straight up bullion value. Silver and gold will always be money, but fiat has been disconnected from that. It,is only worth what the person accepts it as. A hyperinflation event would make fiat just about worthless. There's been a lot of inflation lately, and lots of spending.... Billions given to fight a proxy war with Russia, spend on green legislative handouts, etc. Eventually the bills will need paid, you can only kick the can down the road so far and so many times.
