A perfect example of that is Soviet stooge; author Dalton Trumbo. He wrote a pacifist book, Johnny Get Your Gun, but when Hitler invaded the USSR, he was quite happy to cooperate with the FBI concerning isolationists he'd been in contact with.

Johnny Get Your Gun

Heck of a book though, I read it in basic training during the Vietnam War, I was in the middle of basic training at Ft. Polk and was supposed to be punished by pulling KP all day.

When I went to the mess hall at 6:00 am or whatever, I put my hand on the back door knob to open it but at the last second I changed my mind and decided to have a "personal day" instead, so I went to main base and had breakfast and went to the library and read the book, it was very thought provoking, it was a very nice day all in all.

Try Pete Seeger, who started singing “The Good Ship Rueben James” AFTER Hitler invaded the U.S.S.R.
