Knowing old people as I do, back in the 40's I reckon the citizens of blighty were so deprived and innocent that if German troops had parachuted into the countryside and started offering around sweets, we would have put down our pitchfalks and started talking football.
Spitfire pilots would have jumped out, doffed their caps and said: 'I say, thats throroughly bloody decent of you, I'll have a purple one'
Which sweets would said Nazi troops be more likely to force an immediate unconditional surrender with?
