Suddenly, the anti-Soviet racism perpetuated by the likes of Winston Churchill had to be quickly transitioned into pro-Soviet rhetoric – with “Red Flags” being manufactured and distributed throughout the duplicitous Unions (many of which had been “Trotskyite” with a vengeance). The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) and the Unions it influenced and controlled – was staunchly Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist in those days – and purposely led the British workers in the right direction of thought and labour (this would change after 1956). British workers raised money for British tanks to be manufactured and sent to the USSR – whilst women sowed and stitched to make cold-weather clothing for the Soviet people! All this progressive activity was strengthened and intensified even during the days of the Nazi German “Blitz” over London (and elsewhere). The British workers withstood an incredible slaughter (in and out of uniform) – but it was understood that whatever we were suffering – the Nazi Germans were inflicting far worse on the Soviet people in what the British government then referred to as a “People’s War”!
