OTL Map Thread Mk IV., 2014-

Hey now, a lot of that was because we took in their Jews for the duration of the war.
Though there were some government officials attempting to prevent it, at least at first. Same with at the border of Norway, though I think it may have been similar to the case of when the Norwegian King headed to the Swedish border but was turned back by a guard with a warning that there were orders to arrest him if he entered the country. But yes, we mustn't forget Norway, where the Germans didn't even tell the collaborators about the round out, and where the Norwegians got half the Jewish population to Britain or Sweden, sometimes carrying them over the border. All the Nordics (besides the Icelanders) did their part to prevent genocide and protect their neighbors and foreign refugees.

There is still the question of refugees in each country, as the Axis and collaborators were more willing to give them up than their own 'Jewish'(as defined by the Germans) population.
 
Anyone remember back before and during the Iraq war when they always had Turkomans on the maps of Iraq? Back around the time we still called the Shia Shiites.
 
And now a survey about the different ways the French (including Belgian and Switzerland parts as well) call a Plastic Bag

With sac being the most widespread but there are a few regional peculiarities.
Cornet is used very much in the French-speaking parts of Switzerland but it does have a significant spill into Lorraine.
Poche obviously dominates the Southwest and roughly outlines the medieval Duchy of Aquitaine; with the similar Pochon having some strips of land just to the North of it, with extensions well into western Bretagne.
Sachet is the word of choice along the Northeastern language border, one could say. Maybe not as dominating in Belgium which also widely uses sac (given how split Belgium politics are I guess they also can't get a consensus about how to call a plastic bag ;)) but in Alsace-Lorraine one can still make out the pre-WWI border.
 
This one took a lot of work. Political map of Poland and neighbours during the period of feudal fragmentation, from death of Bolesław III the Wrymouth (1138) to crowning of Władysław I Elbow-High (1320). Each border change, year by year.
