The British Free Corps (BFC) stands as one of the more peculiar episodes of World War II, symbolizing Nazi Germany’s propaganda-driven attempts to exploit discontent and division among Allied prisoners of war (POWs). Though numerically insignificant and operationally negligible, the BFC has drawn historical interest as a study in the intersection of ideology, coercion, and […]

The Wall Street Journal editorial page notes “the astounding fact” that there are only about 25,000 port jobs, so about half of ILA members do not have to show…
