The entire French nation entertained the Germans, their singers sang for them, their couturiers made outfits for their wives. During the "occupation" only 1,500 German soldiers were stationed in France, the rest was Military Police to keep an eye on thousands of Wermacht soldiers on a weekend leave in Gay Paree. It does the Dutch credit to still remember the mild sins of 104 year old man, in comparison, the French would never admit to anything at all, but will claim belonging to La Resistance to a man.
