British Volunteers After Barbarossa

It's an extraordinary story, but the reason it's overlooked is is politics and the way the war turned out. The Communist Party of Great Britain had been staunchly anti-fascist up until Barbarossa.

So you have this very odd thing going on in the left,. which then of course, after Barbarossa, that flips over.
