I’m reminded of the backlash in the Netherlands at V-E, when all those who schmoozed with nazis were outed. All’s fair; and it’s especially sweet that the government that sponsored the collaborations managed to reach out to those too stupid to read the fine print.
There was a scene in a world war II movie (might have been band of brothers) where the female collaborators in the netherlands were having their heads shaved in the public square. The American GI's looked appalled and their commander gave the local resistance leader a "is this really necessary?" kind of look. The resistance leader looked at the American commander with disdain and said "The male collaborators are in the back alley being shot."
I hope we never ever get to that point.
It wasn’t just the Netherlands. Most of Europe got in on the act. The women who had German boyfriends were particularly targeted as were any children they produced.
Anni-Frid “Frida” Lyngstad of the music group ABBA is one of those kids. Her mother was a Norwegian girl and her father a SGT in the Wermacht.
Her mother moved them to Sweden after the war to escape the discrimination.
FWIW Anni married her own German in 1992, Prince Ruzzo Reuss von Plauen, and they remained married until he passed away in 1999.
From illegitimate war baby to pop music star to Princess Anni the lady has had a helluva ride.
