Black swans, grey swans, and white swans

All rights reserved © Minet Group 2018-2021

There are a lot of swans out there, in today’s world, which is filled with risks. And I’m not referring to birds here. I’m referring to the different types of risks – some may be predictable, and others are not predictable at all – but all have the capability of bringing an organization down to its knees.
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: it is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was (c.f. Nassim Taleb – mathematical statistician and risk analyst). An example of a black swan was the global financial crisis of 2008 which was completely unexpected and had a devastating impact throughout the world.
A grey swan is an event that has a low probability of occurring but could have an important cascading impact if they did. Since the threat is quite low, companies and people tend to ignore these risks or provide limited resources for their occurrence. An example of a grey swan is the 9/11 attack on U.S. soil as it has an extremely important cascading impact, though warning signs were ignored. This was a true picture of what it meant to always stay alert, and things have never been the same in terms of security in the US.
A white swan is a highly predictable event that can easily be anticipated, and its size or importance can easily be estimated too. Some say that the COVID-19 pandemic is a white swan as it was relatively inevitable to occur at some point in time because of the structure of the modern world; and its economic consequences will be even more serious as a result of today’s increasing interconnectedness.
The lineup of “swans with an impact” is long … and is growing. No matter what the color of the swan is – black, grey or white – it’s the damage these risks cause what matters, and how they can be anticipated, addressed or even avoided in the future.

Simone Segouin, the 18 year old French Resistance fighter, 1944

wow!i seen a photo of this woman and something compelled me to learn about this french hero,so i will be studying her to see what she is about...very beautiful woman...i'm so curiuos about her

What happened to her afterwards? Did she survive the war? Where & when did she die?

Hey, I'm the great-granddauhther of Simone and I can say you she is alive. She is 91 years and live in a retirement home in France...

You must be very proud of her,an amazing woman.

France loves the idea that it was full of resistance fighters so this is nothing new. For being a pin-up, she was awarded the croix de guerre. Unfortunately, until the very end, resistance was very few and far between. Taking out the jews and the communists, who were fighting for their skins, the French were more pro-Nazi than anti-Nazi, and even ordered England to surrender. Many women were in the sex trade in both WW1 and WW2, 'servicing' both sides. The French mayors supplied lists to the Nazis of unemployed young women of their town they thought would want to 'service' the german soldiers. Segouin's father was one such municipal official. The story goes although she was unemployed, he put her as a seamstress whereupon the germans gave her things to repair. To get out of it, she left for Paris, saying she had to help an aunt in her shop. Call that 'resistance' if you will. Lie down and worship her for that, buy the poster. Later, the French President even wanted to negotiate for a group of prostitutes to service only US black army personnel, such was the concern for the income they were bringing in. You only have to research how willingly jews were reported as they were trying to hide, how many children were signed over. Hitler initially wanted to use France as a country where live jews could be held, and initially sent jews on a 4hour train ride to the French Spanish border until the French, according to one jewish survivor 'wanted no further part in it'. The Nazis then, of course, had to find 'a final solution'. The Vélodrome de Paris was a massive centre for deportment for Jews who had been reported by the French. The French themselves, quite without German involvement, both in the 30's and 40's ran radio programs on how to identify jews by their physical and habitual charicteristics and how to avoid their businesses. At the end of the war, the French had, indeed, many 'resistance fighters' willing to loot, murder and rape the innocent women and children caught on the other side of the border. They even brought in Morrocan and Senegalese men known for their butchery. One French commander (google it) ordained that no-one would be convicted for their acts while attacking the unarmed Italian coastal villages where only women and children remained. The French think that with a few tin medals here and there and a pin-up with a rifle they can hide their disgusting acts of traitorship and crimes against humanity committed during the war. I personally have gained a very low opinion of them.

If what you say is true then it is indeed dismaying, but to blame "The French" serves no purpose. Those who committed said crimes are most likely dead by now, so I don't see how you can reasonably blame the contemporary collective for their acts.

I have to do this.
NO !
Oh yes.
Most of the things you say here are right as historical facts. But ur lack of objectivity is a pity. History have to be objectified or it's absolutely useless, serving purpose of the one "using" it.
Sure loads of french have sell their souls to Nazi during WW2, but there isn't only a few links with what france became till today. Moreover, you can't incriminate and blame a nation for what they've done in this situation. Cause you can't even get thousands of miles away of how u, or ur friends, relatives, or country would have act in such a situation.
Point.
Try to be more historically right next time.
And don't get too close to ur dark side.

PS ; Yes I'm french, I don't care much about this, but I think people should be more tolerant when judging other. As most of them don't even know themselves.
Have a nice day

This flow of hate and ressentment is just disgusting

an example : in my family, one uncle was in a FTP Maquis, in a wood near Guingamp, and later fought during the liberation of Brittany. A great uncle, policemen in Paris, informed jew people before mass arrestation so they could flee and hide; Later, during Paris insurrection, he led a sqad who attacked and seized a german bunker. An aunt was in the Shelburn reseau wich has exfiltrated via the beaches of Plouha dozens of allied airmen fallen on french soil...

In my village, a little harbour of Brittany, 40 young men tried to reach England on an old fishing vessel, to join the Free French of de Gaulle. They were intercepted by german navy, deported, and only 2 of them came back...

That is the story for only one family, only one tiny village. And there are ten of thousands like that.

I'm sixty-eight and never met a Frenchman I liked.

Regarding comment by Nonstoppinglong. My father was an US medic 16th Regiment who was among the first wave who arrived at Fox Green on Ohama Beach. If he were alive he would strongly disagree with your post. Yes collaborators far outnumbered the Resistance. His opinion of the French Resistance was nothing but positive and praiseworthy, though he was no fan of deGaulle.
You cite a number of facts, but conveniently leave others out reaching biased conclusion. True France has long history of anti-Sematism. If I remember right some French Jews were able to escape through Fascist Italy because the Italian fascists were less anti-Semantic than many French. Given the number of collaborators and and Nazis this woman is one of my heroes.
To Stam Grant Trolling here reveals all. I sympathize with every Frenchmen who has met you.

Well, that's a shame! And how many have you met?

Really? Open up your mind. How many French people have you met? I traveled and lived in France and never met a French person who was rude. In fact, I was treated with kindness wherever I went and invited into many homes. I guess it may be your attitude that puts people off. It certainly put me off.

I would not like to be the uniformed fighter in front of her, with her weapon pointed at his butt.

It is easy to make crass comment as notstoppinglong above did but he like I did not have to live through that terrible period in our history. Simone was indeed brave beyond belief given other sources I have seen. Yes the girl was more than a pinup as many a dead foe came to find out formidable indeed

My grandfather, Anton de Sancille, told me some stories about her. I was completely dumbfounded by her immense bravery.

All of this dialogue points to the comp,exits of the issues and the times. I suggest you rather uneducated folks read the following book by Caroline Moorehead, entitled "A Winter Train".

I once met a man who was a 16-year-old French resistance fighter. He, and some of his friends, were captured by the Germans, and taken to a concentration camp. He told me several stories, great detail. They were brave and courageous, and fought against all odds. No one should minimize that.

I just hate it when people judge others as a nation, there were many brave men and women in France during the occupation and I am sure many not so brave, that will always be,and would have been the same in England or any other nation had been in the same position. I wonder how some of those writing in putting down the French would have been themselves had they actually been there? We all like to imagine ourselves as brave and to do what is necessary, but the truth of the matter is nobody really knows how they would react until faced with such danger!! In reality we can only hope we are brave enough to do the right thing. Just remember we are all individuals, and be sure to judge yourself before judging others. Why not try just to admire those who were so incredible?
Kevin.

French resistance! LOL! She didnt even take off her jewelry for the picture.

Did Simone have children then. My daughter has the middle name Simone given to her by her great grandfather Fred Saunders who had met Simone whilst fighting in France.

I was just reading about this remarkable woman. As a first generation American I am very grateful this woman and all like her.
Has she written any books on her life before during and after the war. Just amazing.

She's holding the MP-40 incorrectly. You never grip it by the magazine, as you can easily knock it out of alignment, causing the gun to jam. There is a handgrip under the barrel that you are supposed to hold to steady it.
Simone is pictured taking cover during the liberation of Paris in August 19, 1944.
Members of the French Resistance are photographed in the midst of a battle against German troops during the Liberation of Paris. We see a man in makeshift army fatigues to the left and a young man on the right.
Then, most strikingly, we see a woman in shorts, a patterned top, and a military hat in the center. The photograph of this young female fighter would become a symbol of women’s involvement in the Resistance.
Her name was Simone Segouin, also known by her nom de guerre Nicole Minet. When this photo was taken she was 18 years old. The girl had killed two Germans in the Paris fighting two days previously and also had assisted in capturing 25 German prisoners of war during the fall of Chartres.
In 1944, at the height of the Nazi occupation of France, she joined the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (Free-shooters and Partisans, or FTP) – a combat alliance made up of militant communists and French nationalists.
Simone Segouin poses with a German MP 40 with which she is most proficient.
Simone was very much in the latter camp. Her father was a huge inspiration – a decorated soldier who had fought in the Great War – and she was intensely proud of her country.
Simone Segouin was involved in armed actions against enemy convoys and trains, attacks against enemy detachments, acts of sabotages, etc. The French newspaper Independent Eure-et-Loir on its August 26, 1944 issue described her as “one of the purest fighters of heroic French Resistance who prepared the way for the Liberation”.
She was present at the fall of Chartres, on August 23, 1944, and at the Liberation of Paris. She was promoted to lieutenant and awarded the Croix de Guerre. A street in Courville-sur-Eure was named for her.
Simone Segouin in George Stevens’s 1944 film. It immortalizes an 18-year-old Simone shortly after she helped capture 25 German soldiers in her home village of Thivars, southwest of Paris.
Simone Segouin poses for photographers during the liberation of Chartres.
The gun she’s holding is a German MP-40. Many German weapons were captured and used by the French Resistance. The gun was effective in close quarters, due to its automatic fire and moderate stopping power against regular infantry enemies.
The MP-40 was often called the “Schmeisser” by the Allies, after weapons designer Hugo Schmeisser. Schmeisser had designed the MP-18, which was the first mass-produced submachine gun, and saw extensive service at the end of the First World War. He did not, however, design the MP-40.
Simone went on to become a pediatric nurse in Chartres, where her wartime exploits made her hugely popular. While she had six children with her husband, she never took his name.
“I’m very glad to know that people are not indifferent to this period of my life,” she later said about her time in the resistance. “I was fighting for the resistance, that’s all. If I had to start over, I would, because I have no regrets. The Germans were our enemies, and we were French.”
Despite her swashbuckling war years, Simone was always aware of how difficult it had been for women to play a role in the Resistance. They made up little more than ten percent of the force, and the majority were confined to non-combat roles. But nonetheless, their presence had helped force a shift in the way women were treated.
Simone Segouin was recognized by the British charity organization Soldiering On in 2016. At that time, she was a 90-year-old nursing home resident and she graciously accepted the honor and reminisced about the liberation of Paris.
“It was a wonderful feeling entering the city but my excitement was limited because it felt very dangerous,” she said. “I was not the only woman who joined the Resistance. I am proud of what we all did as a team. But the proudest moment was probably going to Paris with General Charles de Gaulle.”
Any factual error or typo? Let us know.
These images were taken in German-occupied Paris by André Zucca for the German propaganda magazine Signal using rare Agfacolor film supplied by the Wehrmacht. The shots depict fashionable young women and commuters mixed with German soldiers on the bustling Paris streets. The famous roads of the French capital are adorned…
It’s 1942 and the Germans occupy and dominate the vast majority of Europe. They were there, on the scene, and the local men either were not (dead, in prison camps, in hiding) or were greatly diminished in status. Like soldiers of every army of every period of history, as soon…
French women who befriended the Nazis, through coerced, forced, or voluntary relationships, were singled out for shameful retribution following the liberation of France. The woman photographed here, believed to have been a prostitute who serviced German occupiers, is having her head shaved by French civilians to publicly mark her. This…
