Famous picture of the capture of "Banum Bear" by the German Army. Mascot to the French Resistance. After this devastating blow the French shortly surrendered...
Smokey did not appear until 1948. His previous where abouts (39-45) are unknown and he never was called to account. No one ever heard him speak a word of English. Bears investigating.
His life in German occupied France was no cake walk, history tells us. As he had to dance & ride bicycles in Herr Fuhrer's grand secret balls. Mostly a homosexual indulgence of SS Officers. A bear dressed in drag ridding a bike & tap dancing was a horror most French cannot "bear" to relive or recount.
