Bit deep there, Smudge, old love.
As for 'not be P fricking C' you may have a point.
Not that long ago *, RNEFTS at Topcliffe had an intake of German Navy students. Linton on Ouse (the parent unit) had a long existing right to march (bayonets fixed) through York.
Come B of B day march through York, "Fall in the Hermans" was the order. The Germans marched with the RN and RAF Contingents.
As Claus (the senior student declared) "But ve vere in ze battle too".
* Bugger, 1983 was a long time ago. Smudge, your PC point makes more sense.
