摘要

第51（高地）师于1940年6月12日向德国人投降。在圣瓦莱里损失的部队不仅由苏格兰人组成，还包括英国、威尔士、法国和法国殖民地部队。但近几十年来，该部门的损失被重新塑造成一个纯粹的苏格兰损失故事，用申诉和受害者的叙述来描述。在为民族主义政治服务的“假历史”分布的背景下，我们将神话与历史现实进行了对比（英文2021）。本文从三个方面论述了1940年事件：1。神话的创造、发展和使用。2.第51高地师的性质 – 这支部队在圣瓦莱里损失了多少“高地”，多少“苏格兰”？3.1940年5月至6月的实际事件。我们通过汇集现有和新的学术成果来做到这一点，其中包括更多来自法国的观点，以便于更广泛的受众以可访问的形式总结知识。

‘Churchill abandoned the fighting Scots’: The Mythology and Reality of the Surrender of the 51st Highland Division at St Valery-en-Caux, 12 June 1940

The 51st (Highland) Division surrendered to the Germans on 12 June 1940. The force lost at St Valery was made up not only of Scots, but also English, Welsh, French and French Colonial troops. But in recent decades the division’s loss has been recast as a story of solely Scottish loss, deployed in narratives of grievance and victimhood. We contrast the mythology with the historical reality, in the context of the distribution of ‘fake history’ in the service of nationalist politics ( English 2021 ). This paper considers three aspects of the events of 1940: 1. The creation, development and use of the mythology. 2. The nature of the 51st Highland Division – how ‘Highland’, how ‘Scottish’ was the force lost at St Valery? 3. The actual events of May-June 1940. We do this by drawing together existing and new scholarship, including more from French perspectives than is common, to summarise knowledge in an accessible form for a wider audience.

期刊介绍： Scottish Affairs, founded in 1992, is the leading forum for debate on Scottish current affairs. Its predecessor was Scottish Government Yearbooks, published by the University of Edinburgh''s ''Unit for the Study of Government in Scotland'' between 1976 and 1992. The movement towards the setting up the Scottish Parliament in the 1990s, and then the debate in and around the Parliament since 1999, brought the need for a new analysis of Scottish politics, policy and society. Scottish Affairs provides that opportunity. Fully peer-reviewed, it publishes articles on matters of concern to people who are interested in the development of Scotland, often setting current affairs in an international or historical context, and in a context of debates about culture and identity. This includes articles about similarly placed small nations and regions throughout Europe and beyond. The articles are authoritative and rigorous without being technical and pedantic. No subject area is excluded, but all articles pay attention to the social and political context of their topics. Thus Scottish Affairs takes up a position between informed journalism and academic analysis, and provides a forum for dialogue between the two. The readers and contributors include journalists, politicians, civil servants, business people, academics, and people in general who take an informed interest in current affairs.
