Interesting fact...

During World War I, the Germans executed a British nurse as a spy. There
was uproar, and the Allies played it to the hilt, including using her in
a recruiting campaign, pointing out that she ran a hospital in (Belgium?)
that was willing to treat solders of both sides.

Years later, I suppose the 100th anniversary of her death, a group was
planning to commemorate her life. A month before the event the head
of MI[6?5?], herself a woman, threw a bit of cold water on the flames.
Without outright saying the woman was a spy, she pointed out that she
led a group that had turned out to be providing very useful information
to the Brits from inside enemy occupied territory, and implied that
this woman almost certainly knew what her subordinates were doing.

Early on in the Nazi's rise to power, fueled in large part by
their willingness to rebel against the onerous terms of the
Versailles treaty, those within the inner circle bemoaned the fact
that the Allies had won the propaganda war, using lies and twisted
truths to their benefit, and portraying their enemies as much worse
than was actually justified by the evidence. The rest is history.

Not justifying anything, just pointing out that it may have been
someone other than the usual suspects that first opened that
particular Pandora's box.

In World War Two so-called 'nuetral' Switzerland 'treated' both sides. Building and repairing equipment for both the Allies and the Axis powers. Screw Switzerland!!!
