Some personal experiences and
observations in the occupied
countries by 1st Lieut. Osceola E.
McKaine, who has lived in Europe
for more than 20 year*.
4
It is perhaps desirable as a preface
to my remarks to describe
briefly the general attitude of the
Europeans towards the American
Negro.
The American Negro is the
most respected of all Negroes,
even in countries which have Negro
subjects;?J?believe -this 1*5- "
spect is based principally upon
the high" reputation enjoyed by
our athletes abroad. The popularity
of bur jazz and spiritual
music as conveyed by the radio
and the phonograph rs incontestable,
and has served to enhance
his respect. ,
The Briti?*h are,- or better, werevery
much prejudiced against
men of color but did not manifest .
it as brutally as many Americans.
The exceptional Negro, EEe educated
Negro could and did enter
into all social groups_.__.The_ JJrjlZ
ish Isles was more passive than
active. ,
The French judged the Negroes
as they judged other men; they
were accepted for any position
for which they were capable. I
must also state that their judgment
of Necroes wnc slicrVitlu
tinged with paternalism; if they '
were a little deficient in their '
qualifioa' ions they were accepted 1
because they were Negroes. We ^
know that Belgium is composed *
of two racial groups?Wallon and 1
the Flemish.
The Wallon group of the Bel- j
grans reacted as the French. The '
Flemish group was slower to accept
Negroes on a base of equalty
but were staunch and true t
Ytwds. I lived 12 years among j
S? Flemish.
The Dutch attitude towards Ne- t
French. The Baltic (and Balkan J
neoplea as >vell us the . Slavs were ^
ill without racial prejudice inso- {
far as Negroes were concerned.
The Spanish and-Itaiiana were very
tolerant and exhibited very i
'ittie dislrke for us.
Oermany^_hefore- -Hitler, also (
welcomed" Negroes. I have trav- ,
eled North, East, South and West '
in Germany, have lived in her "best
hotels and danced in her finest ,
dancings without ever-being treat-"ed"
differently from other clients.
=?The best European "country of ,
all is little known Portugal. Portugal
is a mulatto country and ^
the question of race prejudice j
ioes not exist at all, not ' even
against the Jews. In all these r
countries more or less race prejudice
is found in the seaport
itie.s due to th^ extensive trad- .
ing with the Anglo-Saxons and
the inferior type of Negroes there
found. The Negroes of the port
citrs ar<^ mostly seamen of one \
sort or another and are mainly t
*"vu:uited in Africa or the Westfndian
Islands. They are generally
without much instruction or
culture. Wherever the AngloSaxons
are found in fairly large
numbers- we?find diatred against
the Negro.
I shall be happy ^to enlarge upon
and explain more about the
' acial a titudeR of -these countries =
hi my affiles to folTow!
Many controversial reasons
have been advanced a s t o '
the cause or causes of the war, 1 ..
~want to" avoid the controversies,

reasons according *to the asser
tions of the Dictators. Both Hit- (
lev and Mussolini said it was the.
""of""the* Treaty of Versailles
which deprived them of ,
colonies, sources of raw materials ,
-pheres of influence, 'Lebensraum'
and territory for their surplus
populations. Notwithstar>ding
their complaints of lack of room, ,
they exhorted 'heir peoples to increase
the number of marriages
and the number of children in
each household. They organized
mass marriages and gave handsome
prizes for large families.
This "was the beginning of their.-h
subterfuges to hide their will for ,
conquest. ~ ,
They demanded of France and 1
Great Britain a radical revision of
the Treaty of--Versailesl Germany
desired the return of the
nnlnninw >almi hum lltjl' 111 -11118, "
ttie suppression of th* Polish Corridor
in'her favor and a sphere

rope. Italy demanded more colo- i
nies for "her surplus population t
and also certain spheres of influ-^ J
<mee. i
To these demands Great Britain '
and France refused to accede ful- <
ly and immediately. Thereupon I
the Axis powers began to arm; I
Germany defaulted on both the f
Young and Dawes plans for rep- <
aration payments and further in- ?
flatgd her currency. One memo- *
rable day Hitler feoccupied '
Rhineland, flagrantly violating 1
one of the principal clauses of
fhe Versailles Tr</vty. Noting i
that this action brought no penal- t
ties, he became bolder and start- ?
ed to arm intensively and openly 1

to-stop Hitler, and he knew it,
rn<L they knew it. Hitler had
nade an ally of the hitherto much
sera'ed Mussolini and had made
3eace with the hitherto despised
md detested Stalin. He rapidly
ibsorbed Checquo-Slovakia and
\ustria and on September 1, 1939
aunched his blitzkreig against
Poland.^Spme months later he attackedNorway
which the Allies .
tried to defend without success.

Belgium really lost the war before
Hitler struck. His fi ft 1
rolumn had worked very effectivey
and efficiently at least 2 years
before?May?10th.?Bclgiuin was '
rar more divided and disorganiz2d
than France. Belgium is-com
posed of - two sprparaTe Tfiviin i
races, the Flemish and the VVulons.
The Fleimsh claim Dutch

exclusively French. These two

The Belgium army as a whole was
:ertainly not too patriotic. The
najoritv of the Flemish were an
d-French ami .,nti-Knglish if not
)ut-right pro-German. The reserve
rfficei s were deplorable inefficient
ind badly traind. I believe the
King was srrnply pro-Beige and
sympathized with the Allies.
As soon as the Belgians requested
aid, the Allies sent the

After 18 days of fighting the

'o capitulate because his armies
were disorganized, discouraged,

Germans. They were without liason

German proptagar.dn had spread
many tqles of the brutal inton

civilian population, months before
the attack, These tales were
in important part of Hitler's
military plans. They were successful.
As soon as the news of j

thousands, a million civilians i
itarted to flee; some towards the
