The RAF probably couldn't have prevented as invasion, since the greatest threat was at sea. But alas for Britain, as the 1940 invasion "deadline" approached, just a minority of the British fleet’s most powerful ships were protecting the homeland.<br /><br />Philip K Dick's book asks an excellent, but tragic question - what would have happened, had the Axis Powers won the war? I ask my husband the same thing - his mother and his father were the only survivors from their large sibling groups :( Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-91645703582042398422021-04-14T22:03:57.168+10:002021-04-14T22:03:57.168+10:00Andrew

The Russians believed they would have gone straight to executions.<br /><br />Poland was also actually invaded (in 1939), and they too knew a lot about German arrests and deportations.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-76852669394700456812021-04-14T21:41:46.564+10:002021-04-14T21:41:46.564+10:00Because of what happened in other nations, we can ...Because of what happened in other nations, we can be sure that this book would have been put to use had there been a successful invasion. I probably would not have been born if that had happened! Of course, the Allies would have had a list of suspected war-criminals, many of whom were tried and some executed after the war but that list was of deserving cases.<br />If you have Amazon Prime, they have shown a drama series based on Philip K. Dick's 1962 novel <b>The Man in the High Castle</b> that deals with what might have happed had the Axis powers won the war. Two-thirds of the United Stated was controlled by the Nazis and the rest by Japan.<br />Incidentally, I wonder if Lady Astor's name was in the Black Book as a double -bluff?<br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s innocently insolent Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b>bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-4127983910199183332021-04-14T21:36:50.825+10:002021-04-14T21:36:50.825+10:00Good point about other countries.

But once the list was first published in 1940, I wonder if the mistakes were corrected and the omissions were added in 1941 etc. <br /><br />Mind you, that was just the Black Book in Britain. What happened to the Black Books of arrests and perhaps executions in the other countries that the Germans invaded or wanted to invade?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-62833526854845974572021-04-14T12:00:21.187+10:002021-04-14T12:00:21.187+10:00Parnassus

Just as well the planned invasion never happened, both for those Brits who aided the Germans and those Brits who loved their own nation.<br /><br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-50158025532968920482021-04-14T11:34:01.650+10:002021-04-14T11:34:01.650+10:00Luiz

She supported German rearmament, and spent time with Joachim von Ribbentrop, the ambassador who later became Germany’s Foreign Minister.<br /><br />Note that Lady Astor was quite pleased about being in the Black Book. She said it proved to the British who distrusted her that she had actually been pro-British and anti-German, before and during the war.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-59759996190032496792021-04-13T21:35:07.476+10:002021-04-13T21:35:07.476+10:00Zweig, Freud, Virginia Woolf and Kokoschka, unders...Zweig, Freud, Virginia Woolf and Kokoschka, understood.
