I really don't understand why revisionists would seek to undermine one of the war's enduring legacies - a stoic civilian population as brave as those directly fighting the enemy. It just doesn't make sense. Fair enough, it was not all "stiff upper lip", "press on regardless" stuff but they certainly didn't buckle en masse and there's plenty of proof of that.
