Léon Degrelle

I really should choose better people to tell you guys about, the good ones tend not to make the best of posts.

Léon Joseph Marie Ignace Degrelle was a Belgian politician and nazi collaborator. He rose to prominence in Belgium in the 1930s as the leader of the Rexist Party (Rex).

During the German occupation of Belgium during World War II, he enlisted in the German army and fought in the Walloon Legion on the Eastern Front.

After the collapse of the nazi regime, Degrelle escaped and went into exile in Francoist Spain, where he remained a prominent figure in neo-nazi politics.

nazi and neo-nazi? Sounds charming. Riiiiiiight.

He had slipped into irrelevance by the start of World War II. Degrelle began to collaborate with nazi Germany as the war began and was detained by Belgian and then French authorities.

This lovely trash bag? Gloria VanderTrash? Degrelle married Marie Lemay, the daughter of a French industrialist, on 27 March 1932. The couple had five children. Their marriage became strained during the war as Degrelle kept mistresses in Brussels and Paris. Yes, that is plural.

After the German invasion of Belgium in mid-1940, Degrelle was released and began to change Rex (political party) into a mass movement to curry the favor of the nazis.

In 1941, Degrelle organized and himself joined and fought in the Walloon Legion, a unit of the German Army and, after 1943, the Waffen-SS. His performance in 1944 at the Cherkassy pocket and subsequent decorations turned him into a model for foreign collaborators.

What a thing to be a model of.

Think about this for a moment. In 1941, the nazis weren't yet crumbling into pieces. By the time 1943 and 1944 rolled around, Germany was showing very serious signs of cracking. So, why?

Following the liberation of Belgium in late 1944, Degrelle was stripped of his citizenship and was sentenced to death in absentia. He was a man without a country, in literal terms.

He fled to Spain, where with the help of the Spanish government he went into hiding from Belgian authorities in August 1946.

In the 1960s, Degrelle returned to public life as a neo-Nazi and gained great influence in far-right European circles. He published several books and papers glorifying the nazi regime and denying the Holocaust.

In otherwords, someone should have punched this rotting bag of shite in the face. Preferably, with a brick or two. Baseball bat? Lucille? (TWD fans!)

On 15 May, the Spanish government contacted the British government about deporting Degrelle, but not back to Belgium.

In response, Belgium, which made Degrelle's repatriation and prosecution a top priority, asked for British and American support in talks with Spain.

The United States and the U.K. were ambivalent about the matter as Degrelle had not been named a war criminal by the United Nations War Crimes Commission, but were moved into an active role in June by Belgian protests.

The British and Americans decided that, since Degrelle had entered Spain as a member of the German armed forces, he should be taken into Allied custody with 30 other German exiles via an American ship, and communicated this desire to Spain.

The Spanish government decided it could not extract diplomatic recognition from Belgium in exchange for Degrelle, and instead justified its reluctance to repatriate Degrelle on human rights grounds.

By the 1980s, Degrelle was living comfortably, having profited from running a construction company that helped build American airbases in Spain, and under his original name.

He died in the 1990s. He should have never made it past his 1st birthday.

Nine People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

I was tagged by @blu3berrydraws, @erisenyo, and @paramouradrift lol thanks guys!

Relation Status: Married to my best friend and high school sweetheart

Favorite Color: green. any green. give me a green I will show you how beautiful it is

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Sweet tooth is currently satisfied. Spicy is just kind of a bonus. I think savory is looking good rn.

Three ships: Zukka is the obvious current answer, but I am a habitual multishipper by nature, so here are three ships that I very much enjoy which might not be on your radars!

First is @ablueeyedarcher's fault: How/Piandao. The SS CapyPanda. Are they minor characters who only show up for two or three episodes a piece? Yes. Do I care? No. Let them smooch.

Number two is Jee/Bato. Look. Jee is a tired gay man, He has served his time. Let him get out there and get the good dick. He's not a home wrecker though, he's not gonna get between whatever Bato has going on with Hakoda... unless maybe they invited him to get between them more literally.

Third is Zuko/Kuei. I know the the post canon comics pitted these two sad bitches against each other but listen, here me out. They're both young, inexperienced leaders dropped head first into navigating attempting to deescalate their countries post a century of hostilities with minimal helpful guidance, and they were also both used and betrayed by the father figures they we supposed to trust and rely on. What if when left alone, face to face, they bonded over venting their similar frustrations? What if that bonding turned into an unlikely friendship? What if that friendship tripped and rolled down a rocky hill of something more and they ended up in a secret affair between the heads of two of the world's most powerful states? What if it all came crashing in on them, but they couldn't untangle their very real feelings from their duty as leaders? What then?

First ever ship: Oh snap this is reaching back into Ye Old memory banks here. If I'm being totally honest I think it was the pink and green (later white, much later all the rest of the damn colors) rangers from the original run of the American version of Power Rangers. The internet didn't exist as we know it today so it was just a group of a half-dozen 7-9 year olds G O S S I P I N G on the playground between rounds of pretending to be actual velociraptors.

Last Song:

(Two Steps From Hell is my go-to writing times tune everything out music)

Last Film: Technically it was me and the rest of the adults post Thanksgiving diner keeping a running background commentary going on the worldbuilding choices in the Paw Patrol Movie that the little kids insisted on watching. Real answer, the last movie I sat down to watch with intention was Across the Spiderverse.

Last thing I Googled: solar chistmas lights. My coworker was complaining that her only outdoor outlet shares a load with an indoor one (which?? rude!) and her partner wouldn't let her put up more Christmas lights. I had to show her. The way her face lit up as she IMMEDIATELY zoomed to Amazon and started filling her cart. Apologies to her poor family and neighbors, but I definitely made her week and possibly her entire New Year.

Currently Reading: Hey did you know that @erisenyo is already releasing stuff for zukki week because she is. you should definitely go read that.

Currently Watching: Rewatching Blue Eye Samurai while spouse watches it for the first time. He's been big into old samurai and wuxia films since I can remember so I'm just sitting here anticipating his reactions to every easter egg and trope call back they've stuffed into this show and also spotting things I missed on the first round.

Currently Consuming: Peppermint mocha and a cheese, egg and sausage tornado. Don't question me.

Currently Craving: My cozy bed. Also a nice big bowl of curry.

Currently Working On: The next chapter of Learn to Carry Love. I'm so so so close to the finish aaargh!

Current Obsession(s): *Gestures at my blog*

And with that I'm gonna taaaaaaag @ablueeyedarcher @rainbowbarnacle @paintsplattere @allgremlinart @saccharineomens @thepioden @siggymcpissyface @curlicuecal and @yandereleorio! No obligation of course, just for a fun time if you wanna :D

[saviourkingslut]

when u get ss timeskip and edelgard's there for Some Reason and she asks you to join her and ur only options are "..." and "i can't" or whatever like whore where's my "go fuck yourself" button.

[saviourkingslut]

love choosing "do nothing" on birthdays for characters that i think are annoying bitch ass losers

[saviourkingslut]

sometimes monastery dialogue is a little funny bc units will come at u with their sob stories abt the people you encountered and had to kill during the last mission and it's like. girl you weren't in my lineup you weren't even there

[saviourkingslut]

[saviourkingslut]

anyway silver snow ending was whatever (im never getting over how seteth is done so dirty in this route it is insane) but i Finally managed to get these two to shack up which means i achieved my main goal 🙏🏻 get it old man!!!

[saviourkingslut]

"all the three houses lords are war criminals blah blah" girl if you're doing the bit then at least acknowledge that silver snow byleth dresses the church troops up in the enemy's colours lmfao

[saviourkingslut]

ok gonna do the church route rn and recruit the wolves that feels appropriate i think??

[saviourkingslut]

[saviourkingslut]

also lmao i didn't bother doing anything with edelgard at all so now she hasn't even invited me to enbarr to see her crown herself <3 hate wins

[saviourkingslut]

ngl kinda disappointed by silver snow ch21 narrative like... i thought something tragic was going to happen or be revealed for rhea to become the immaculate one but she just uh. happens to be 'overpowered' by her own crest bc she is fragile i guess? it felt super flat to me. at least in crimson flower she gets pushed to the brink of her sanity bc of her grief and bc she is being directly attacked, that made it feel so much realer to me. also im never going to like the way this game pushes for by/leth becoming ruler of fódlan or archbishop as hard as it possibly can just bc they're the avatar btw. like they are in literally no way the most qualified person on the continent to do that. and yet everyone is slobbering all over them. besides, silver snow is not doing a great job of separating the post of archibishop from ruler of fódlan in ch21, and it really ticks me off. everyone around the monastery is more or less combining the two positions into one thing. as if the church being accused of being controlling wasn't one of the reasons we just had a whole ass war. lmao.

[saviourkingslut]

so abysskeeper and mr backup have explored each other's bodies right

[saviourkingslut]

shambala is such a dumbass map for real. getting posted in four corners of the map so you have to walk five kilometres just to get to the action and then playing catch with the big robots until you can reach the stupid little house and take out thales with one unit 💀 most anticlimactic map of all time
