How to Save Your Skin in a Nazi Victory

Being of Celtic ancestors, middle-class with blue eyes. I think I'd go in to politics working as a civil servant then rising through the ranks in either the Riechstarg (or a english occupied version if the invasion works). Live life happily in a house that was commondered off a poor family that have found residence in a labour camp.

It might sound harsh but its kill or be killed. Just keep the other side of me secret ;) just hopefully a nazi oscar wilde doesn't come over to vistit :eek:

One of my parents was adopted, so by blood I could be from just about anywhere. We all look classic European, though, and my known ethnic background doesn't go beyond Italy and England (with probably a bit of Celt). So, I suppose I'd be fine.

That is, until my mouth gets me in trouble, or I actually find the local resistance group.

I won't exist, so I don't have to worry about it :p. My father's parents, after being evicted by the Poles from Silesia in '46, eventually ended up in Lansing, Michigan. No need for that in a Nazi-victory world.

And frankly, that's a good thing I woulnd't be around, since while I might be racially acceptable (1/2 Silesian, 1/4 Irish (C. Donegal), 1/4 Louisiana French), I'm a die-hard socialist and a faggot to boot. The only question is which one of those two defects would get me sent to the ovens?

I wouldn't fancy your chances of living a long and happy life - put it that way

Actually, to be a second-degree Mischling, you have to be at least one-quarter Jewish. If you have one Jewish great-grandparent, like serbrcq, you're only one-eighth Jewish, and you would scrape through.

By that reckoning, both he and I would be safe, but him by a slightly greater margin than me.

Exactly. The only "disadvantage" would be not being allowed to the SS, and that doesn't count.

I'm not Jewish, and could pass (there might be some French or Slavs among my ancestors, but I don't think they could kill all Germans like that, so theoretically it's anything but the SS), but since I'm not really a fan of the nazis, I might say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and end up in a situation not pretty.

Best possible scenario: I become a theoretical mathematician and can lead an unpolitical life.

Edit: Joining the resistance? Well, that would be an option - if there is one.

Wait, there were one million French fascists, and three millions in the resistance? Those numbers seem a bit high (those the proportions seem right). Does anyone have a source for how many people in France supported the fascists / resistance?
