French Choose ‘Hun’ victims

London, May 21 - The French underground was reported today to be scrawling the following invasion-day slogan on walls throughout France: “Choose your Hun; there won’t be enough to go around.”

Part of the propaganda war but this short article caught my attention. It would force the issue of choosing a side for the Vichy. The use of the word Hun is a throw back to WWI but the word would still have an emotional patriotic element to it for the French.

Common American words for Germans would be “kraut”, “heinie”, “fritz”, “jerry”

I was listening to a lecture about the Huns recently. The professor mentioned that Kaiser Wilhelm chose to associate his imperial regime with the idea of Huns, who were actually Central Asian and not Germanic at all.
