during the franco prussian war a german officer sent a letter to his wife detailing the disgusting and disloyal behaviour of french women.
after observing the crazy amount of prostitution taking place during the military ocupation of france he had this to say.
"we are now beginning to get to know a part of the french population that i thought existed only in paris. elegantly made up french women, all pretending to be the wives of officers, prowl about everywhere, but the trappings of their social position are not to be overlooked. naturally, precautions are taken put an end to this business "

lol, little did he know that the same would repeat in 1940.
