Ah the French. With their passions for short leaders, shortcrust pastry and, so it would seem, short memories. A new book is raising ire over the raised spires during the Nazi Occupation of France.Patrick Buisson's 1940-1945 Années Erotiques claims that the incoming bratwurst went down rather well among war-widowed mademoiselles.
Buisson points to a telltale spike in the birthrate in 1942, not to mention an overburdened sewer reeling from spent condoms and a torrent of oui!
He also points to a cold winter and low supplies of coal, which obliged a bold new means of central heating.
