May be fascist in its setting, but the Goans of the day were members of the Mocidade Portuguesa. One of them was my cousin, who later was a member of the NCC during his Commerce College (Altinho) days, then later was conscripted into the Portuguese Army in Angola, and saw action there. Another youtube link, named "PORTUGUESE FASCIST PROPAGANDA (WITH TRANSLATION)", actually refers to Goans as "Portuguese nationals". This video shows Portugal welcoming German, British and Italian vessels during WWII. At 13:44 - The war at sea continues to leave many victims in its wake. The shipwrecked crew of the Dutch steamer, "Arendskerk", torpedoed in the Bay of Biscay by a German submarine, was brought to Lisbon, and was there promptly received and sheltered.Some of the members of the crew were Portuguese nationals from Mormugao, in Portuguese India". Gabriel. PS Ths video however, does not mention the thousands of Jews saved from a certain death, probably because the consul who arranged for their safe passage was not favoured by the Salazarist government. Incidentally, the Hotel Palacio Estoril, was, during WWII, the meeting place of European officials and Royalty, and a hotbed of spies, which became the setting for Ian Fleming's "At Her Majesty's Service".
