During World War II, Milne was the most prominent critics of English comic author P.G. Wodehouse, who was grabbed at his nation house in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse prepared radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the lighthearted broadcasts prepared fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in a few of his later stories.
During World War II he was Captain of the Homeguard in Hartfield & Forrest Row insisting on being plain 'Mr Milne' to the members of his platoon.
