Death's Companion
General Ugg Apologist.
In point of fact, one of the few things I know about a relative of mine from Champagne is that he went to court against the Etat Français (Vichy) which was trying to requisition his plough horse to help in the German war effort.
As the French state did not envision its swift defeat, it did not make much contingency planning for its evacuation of critical material and war-related supplies although a lot of individuals took ad hoc measures such as Joliot-Curie moving the heavy water supply out of Paris and into the south and out of the country. So a UK which has time to consider an invasion would absolutely figure out how to deny anything of import to an invading enemy.
I don't know why but I am reminded of the scene in Boondocks where Grandpa starts a civil rights protest on the grounds that the bus company is obliged to give him a separate but equal men's room. How does one go about taking a collaborationist fascist state to court and why would one bother?
