Nah, if my knee jerked as much as yours, I'd kick the computer right off the table.

In 1942, Chaplin was vocal in calling for Allied support for the Soviet war effort. He was also criticised for his support for Stalin's demands for an early second front to be opened during the war and demanding greater backing for the Soviet army.

It's usually pretty easy to figure out who were the Communists prior to Pearl Harbor. They're the ones who were anti-Nazi until the August 1939 Nazi/Soviet non-aggression pact, then became very anti-British, then, suddenly, around June 22, 1941 became very anti-Nazi again.

If they were consistently opposed to the Nazis throughout that period, especially during the ostensible Nazi/Soviet alliance, then they may have been left-wing, but they weren't Communist suck-ups.

At least he married them. If you're going to pick an age 16's not a bad one. I'd go a little higher myself.
