French bourgeoisie found unsuspecting freedom amidst the occupation.
The installment of the Wehrmacht and thousands of the Schutzstaffel brought forth an unprecedented sexual liberation
-Famous Parisian cabarets, brothels, and cat houses began an era of nonstop party.
The parties and sexual excesses only intensified as the allied forces got closer.
After the liberation of Paris in August 1944, the second golden age of cabarets came to an end. High society salons and other brothels were closed down. A strong persecution towards women accused of having affairs with Nazis began. These women would be captured, beaten, their heads shaved, only to then be forced to walk naked on the streets with swastikas painted on their skin, while people yelled all kind of insults at them.

If it hasn’t already been (I can’t think of it) that specific period / episode would make for a fascinating feature film.

Just like the cheese eating surrender monkeys to be hypocritical when it comes to collaboration.
Extra points for the REO Speedwagon t-Shirt. Peak cuntishness defined by a band.
