Любопытная рождественская история
Christmas greetings from German soldiers occupying the British island of Jersey during the Second World War have finally been delivered 71 years later. Stolen by a group of island youths in December 1941 as an act of defiance against the Nazis, the holiday letters first resurfaced in 2006. Now, after Jersey's historical archive has catalogued their content, they have been sent on to their intended destinations in Germany.
Germany's mail service Deutsche Post said some of the recently delivered letters had been rejected by people fearing they would expose the Nazi fervour of their relatives or neighbours during the war.
Тут всё прекрасно - и мощь британского Сопротивления, больше напоминающего милые выходки Берти Вустера, вроде кражи шлема полицейского, и удивительная политкорректность современных немцев.
