@tim39826 @DrHelenFry The Resistance were fighting an armed invader in their country. The British airmen were unarmed prisoners of war in the lawful custodity of the German Armed Forces and so protected by the Geneva Convention.

Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian
The Essen War Crimes Trial (often called the "Essen Lynching Case") was a notable British Military Court proceeding held in Essen, Germany, from 18–22 December 1945. It tried seven defendants (including Erich Heyer and six others) for the murder of three captured British airmen who were lynched by a mob in Essen-West on 13 December 1944, in violation of the laws of war. This was one of the early post-WWII trials focusing on specific atrocities against POWs, distinct from the major International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg (which targeted top Nazi leaders) or the later U.S. subsequent Nuremberg trials (like the Krupp industrialists' case in 1947–48, also linked to Essen/Ruhr region). Lesser-known regional trials like Essen highlighted local accountability for mob violence and breaches of the Hague Conventions, setting precedents for prosecuting war crimes against Allied personnel.

Presented my ‘TD’ today, retrospectively (from 2004)! The Efficiency (Territorial) Decoration was for completing a relevant number of years in Regular and Reserve Army service. My thanks to the MOD Medal Office, which put my case to The King for approval.

@Presidencysl_ Foreign ministers from Somalia, Egypt, Turkey, and Djibouti condemned the recognition, describing it as an "unlawful" violation of international law and a threat to regional stability.

Presidency | Republic of Somaliland
After more than three decades of peaceful self-governance, constitutional order, and democratic practice, Somaliland has received its first formal international recognition as a sovereign and independent state. This development affirms an objective reality that has long existed. Somaliland meets the legal, political, and institutional criteria of statehood under international law. — H.E. President @AbdirahmanIrro

@Alex_Stafford As the former colonial power in Somaliland, Britain is in a strong position to recognize the Republic of Somaliland. I believe the EU was/is providing support to the police.

Today is a great day for Somaliland now that Israel has recognised it. Went I went there last year as a Member of Parliament, I found a safe, secure country in an otherwise troubled region. The UK government needs to grant recognition to this shining light in the Horn of Africa!

@FreyjaBakke @JohnCleese I think the Russians may view things differently. I understand that Britiain is referred to as "The Main Barstards".

I wonder if Putin's sudden outburst of war threats is because he's just realised that his 'useful idiot' is not going to be around much longer

@FamilyAtWar1418 In 1982 it took me around 4 or 5 months, but that was MoD(A) talking to MoD(N) to work out things out. During that time I was notionally in command of the Recruits Platoon. Part of its job was to keep applicants interested until the paperwork etc was done.

FFS. When I joined the TA in 1985, I turned up at the drill hall, filled in the paperwork that day, did the medical shortly after and had my number within a week…. we are not remotely near being able to face a peer enemy.

America whipped the British (twice), we whipped the Spanish, the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians and anyone else who threatened our way of life in this country. If domestic Communists are the next challenge, we'll whip them as well. No fear. No surrender. Never back down.
