Subject: RE: BS: The British who fought for Hitler
I should have added to Keith A's remark that Blunt was a Communist. Those who can be bothered to read their history a little less selectively have discovered that his "treason" was to pass secrets to the Russians, which was expressly intended to help them defeat Fascism. At the Battle of Kursk, which effectively finished the Wehrmacht in the Soviet Union, the Russians knew the German order of battle. That intelligence came from British spies. This probably was in defiance of their government, so technically it was treason. In any event, the attempt to hold up Blunt as a Hitler supporter is ridiculous.
