The British Home Guard had its origins in the British contribution to the Socialist “International Brigades” that travelled to Spain to defend the democratically elected “Republican” government from being overthrown by Hitler, Mussolini, and the Catholic Church. Indeed, it was the British Oxford graduate (and “Communist”) Tom Wintringham (1898-1949) who had masterminded the “Land Defence Volunteers Force” (LDVF) comprised of hundreds of thousands of eager working-class men and women – before Winston Churchill stepped-in and had every Socialist arrested and imprisoned. Churchill invented a “new” (false) history for what he re-named the “Home Guard” – claiming (again, falsely) that he had “invented” it. Whilst maintaining its essential “Socialist” ethos – Churchill kept the Unit under-armed and always lacking basic equipment and ammunition. He also made sure that as the Soviet Red Army moved ever closer to Berlin – the Home Guard was abolished in 1944 – before the war ended. However, during WWII the Home Guard was technically an ally of the USSR – and this is why the Unions urged hundreds of thousands of men and women to join it – although this “Socialist History is now deliberately obscured and difficult to find. The Home Guard was briefly re-mobilised inthe early 1950s when Churchill regained power – but was soon disbanded due to a lack of interest. Ordinary working-class men and women would not join to oppose a Soviet Union that was not a threat to the UK.
