> “This is an obscene desecration of the memories of those who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and especially of those who fell,” What's obscene is the appropriation of WWII soldiers by people, who would today smear them as Nazis, to claim that those soldiers would agree with them, and champion their causes, when every piece of evidence says the opposite: https://web.archive.org/web/20211222183606/https://www.washi... How do I feel about the country today? My two uncle’s gave their lives for this country, my father’s health was broken from gas in WW1. I did my little bit, my brother did his national service in the Canal Zone in Egypt. What has been our reward? EVERYTHING we fought for has been taken from us and given to foreigners, we are now third rate citizens in our own country. Our enemies rule us from Brussels and we are being colonized by ????? and ?????? in this country. There is not one political party that is prepared to stand up and fight for our country and indigenous population. The holocaust is now being carried out on us. What are my main regrets? That I didn’t fight for Hitler, at least he was for his own people. - https://archive.org/details/the-unknown-warriors |

Clearly, the request for replies from Veterans, was simply a means to gather fodder from 'heroes' that could be carefully presented to show how reasonable their 'traditional' views on anti-immigration, a woman's role in the home and workforce, and the general regression of society, in the best light possible.
I wouldn't discount it as a source, but should be noted in its extreme bias, and even if many of the views presented were 'prevailing' at the time, it doesn't make them correct.
