[Helgoland]

What's the answer for 17 across? I'm genuinely curious - Germanen doesn't fit.

[Darvi]

Franken, perhaps?

[XXSockXX]

Yeah, must be "Franken", 7 letters and 15 down is "ars", 16 down is "Bee", 18 down is "NS" and 14 down could be "San" I guess.

[Darvi]

So probably just them insinuating that France should belong to them or something.

Eh, the Franks were a Germanic tribe, so there's nothing wrong there.

LOL, 20 across is Hess, the "Friedensflieger" (= aviator for peace).

[Sheb]

He's the guy that fled to the UK?

[Helgoland]

Exactly. He then was painted by the Nazi propaganda as insane and/or homosexual, if my memory serves.

[Sheb]

And then rebranded as a Peace Flyer by New Nazis? 

[XXSockXX]

He's the guy that fled to the UK?

Yes. He's an interesting figure and his story is a bit complicated. He is still considered a martyr figure in Neo-Nazi circles, for his very long imprisonment and for the unclear circumstances of his death in 1987 (officially he comitted suicide, but rumor has it that he was murdered). Calling him "Friedensflieger" has some ideological implications though, namely that the Nazis wanted peace but the allies didn't.

[Helgoland]

Hah, there was a bit in To Be or Not To Be like that: "All I want is peace, peace, peace! [starts singing] A little piece of Poland, a little piece of France..."

[XXSockXX]

Somehow this just popped up in my memory.

Haven't seen this story mentioned here yet

When you lie down with the dogs you wake up with fleas.  Or summary excecutions in this case.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

But they have no Neo-Nazi Junta like us, living in the rest of Ukraine!

Kangaroo courts are a small price to pay to protect yourselves from tyranny!
