      Research by British historian Adrian Weale has identified 54 men[1][3] who belonged to this unit at one time or another, some for only a few days. At no time did it reach more than 27 men in strength.
      Yeah a massive part of the war. Compare that to the 5000 they recruited across the remainder of the 27 EU countries.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Note my use of 'in a small way'.

        Of course if we quote less selectively:

        ...and then divide 5,000 by 25 (Germany and Austria removed) to get an average, and then consider that most of the other EU countries were either occupied on neutral, then where does that get you?

            If you have to ask, you haven't got a big enough yacht to find the answer.
            Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

              It's more of a deductive reasoning question. Bit mean of me really.

                  The solution is obvious - they'll make up for the money by introducing extra Brexit tariff on all British exports, unless UK pays up as much as before.

                    Indeed. And of course the UK would not respond in kind.
