this is confusing. what happened?
1940, some British soldiers were rehearsing for a drag show that they were putting on within their platoon because they could and because it was fun, it helps keep morale up during wartime. During rehearsal, the Germans begin their raid on Shornemead Fort, where said drag rehearsing troops were stationed. British Chads, without even stopping to change back into uniform, immediately man the naval guns and return fire on the Germans. One of them, instead of passing the ammo, took a photo of this because how could you not, it's incredible.
Thanks for context. Here some examplary "source", shornemead fort brings up alot in search. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/british-soldiers-in-drag-nazis/
