Behind the front lines

For a few days of R&R.

Went to Paris

Saw all the sights.

 

Americans were

Always welcomed.

As were our green

Pockets soon emptied.

 

You could have

Your pick of women.

They were eager

To please your wims.

Yes, Yanks were liberators from the oppressive Nazis. And so many French men had been killed in both the horrendous World Wars. That sudden release of oppression was welcomed with a kind of sexual revolution. Henceforth, French women were considered to be much freer than American women.

In our neighborhood, two GIs came home with German war brides. German girls were just as willing to leave their motherland after losing most of their men to the war and the terrible conditions they had to endure at the end of the war.
