Hollywood through a division of Warner Brothers cast Leslie Howard as the hero in a 1930's film called "British Agent" despite the fact that his function was to continue the war of loanshark capitalism between the militaristic Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and imperial colonizers Britain and France and to attempt to dissuade the new Communist government from declaring peace with Germany.

Howard wanted the continued slaughter of Russian, British and French men and was upset that with the new Soviet Union's withdrawal, more pressure would be placed by Germany against France and England. Czar Nicholas had caused 1.7 million Russians to die in battle while Clemenceau and others in France caused 1.3 million deaths. The czar caused 4.9 million men to be wounded while France had 4.3 million wounded men.. The UK lost nearly a million men.

This capitalist war would end with extremely harsh reparations for Germany, reparations which planted the seeds of World War II. Millions of men died in fratricidal idiocy.

In World War II, Germany would again war with the Soviet Union, which lost 26 million people in ridding the world of Nazi racism and brutality.

Despite chickenhawk radio jocks' frequent attempts to ridicule France's participation in WW2, the French had more casualties than the US.
