Every day is a school day. Like many others, I had no objection to Lineker tweeting on politics, but I felt that the nazi reference was ott.
But, I checked and found to my astonishment that Germany had a plan to deport Jews to Madagascar in 1940. Madagascar was then a French colony and Germany planned to take it over after hostilities. Google Madagascar Plan.
Also in 1938, Germany deported jews of Polish origin, but German citizens, to Poland where they effectively became stateless. Other countries were invited to take them. Britain declined. Germany at that time distinguished between ‘good Jews’ (German and Austrian) and ’bad’ Jews, mainly of Polish origin. Who knew?
