Yeppers dp0622, the Brits were brutal on many occasions.
Here is one of them:

But what confused the Brits was Gandhi’s methods of non-violent protests. The Brits were in shock to see Gandhi simply turned the other cheek. But my own theory is that the only reason Brits gave up their crown colony of India was that their soldiers were suffering from exhaustion by the time WWII ended in early 1940’s, and India gained independence in 1947. So in an ironic way Indians can thank Hitler for their independence.

Wow. I did not know about that event.

It’s hard to be pacifistic colonialists!!

Occupation without BRUTAL put downs of ANY opposition gets your men killed. Like our great men in Iraq.

But to deny history is a crime. No lessons can be learned by lies.

Like our schools do regarding communism, TGs etc.

That would be very ironic about hitler.
