Liberation
by L. Neil Smith
***Begin Quote***
I had grown up all my life hearing that the Liberators got duly dropped, some were used, the rest vanishing deep into barns and cellars, hidden from the mostly communist governments that came to replace the Nazis.
***AND***
I don’t believe it. I think the whole project became an historical embarrassment for an increasingly anti-gun US government. It couldn’t have made us terribly popular with various totalitarian bosses in east Europe for whom it would have been a constant thorn in their sides.
***End Quote***
When I heard about the liberator story, it was after doing some reading as a youth after watching an Errol Flynn movie about the French Resistance. So I’m not sure what to believe. If Churchill was involved, I bet they were dropped. He didn’t strike me as the type to hold anything back. LNS’ disbelief of “official stories” is absolutely correct. No one in gooferment tells the whole truth; certainly not if a lie would serve the agenda.
So, I’ll suspect that they were dropped, were effective, and suppressed for political reasons.
