BEZEN PERROT AND BRETON COLLABORATION WITH THE NAZIS: Was It Justifiable?


In my time I have met Alan Huesaff and witnessed Yann Goulet shouting down a French Government Representative at a Bodenstown Rally, I have also met Welsh Nationalists involved in the 'Underground Railway' assisting Breton Bezen Perrot members en route to Ireland at end of WW II. Really, I should have followed this up as recently as the Meifod Eisteddfod some few years back I met a little grey haired old lady who had been involved in this as was my now dead Father in Law O.T. L. Huws which makes me wonder were other Catholic Welsh Nationalists involved? Interesting stuff!

WHEN NATIONALISM TURNS BAD IT CAN REALLY BE VERY BAD OR IS THAT THEN JUST FASCISM?


This is an excellent series, the one on the Lativian and Croat Nationalist /Religious Fascists was to say the least sickening to the point of almost make me feel nausea. How on earth can human beings carry out these sort of atrocities on fellow human beings, my conclusion is that whilst Nationalism was an ingredient in this murderous mix, religion was much of the time the bigger ingredient but not always the case as in that of Finnish Nationalism seeking to retain it's Independance from Russian Imperialism.

The Finnish episode was extremly interesting and I guess the one on the IRA will be too, I wonder if there will be an episode on the Bezen Perrot and Breton Collaboration with the Nazi's. For which there are many apolagists within the ranks of Cultural Nationalism in Wales and other Celtic Countries. Now read on and do watch on the Yesterday Channel.
