United Kingdom: Difference between revisions

This is not made easier by the King: Edward VIII, once a fervent admirer of Hitler, is now a shadow of his bright pre-war persona, haunted by remorse for what he had been forced to do to satisfy the Germans. While he keeps telling himself that he did it to avoid bloody and merciless retaliation from Germany, it still isn't enough to keep the regret and self-loathing at bay. As such, he has almost completely retired himself from politics, leaving the government alone in its increasingly difficult task. Hated by his people, who see him as a German puppet, and mistrusted by the Germans, who see him as too moderate and reluctant to comply, he is the proverbial clay pot between the iron pots, at constant risk of being crushed.
