Orderly and Humane?: World War II as the 'Good War'
... The 1939-45
conflict is still wreathed in delusions, delusions often employed to try to justify modern wars which are
alleged to have comparably 'good' aims. The belief in its goodness
is in fact ludicrous. Our main ally (rejected at the beginning with lofty scorn, embraced later with desperate, insincere enthusiasm) was one of the most murderous
tyrants in human history ... During and
immediately after the war, as I have discussed here, we employed methods which would have disgusted our forebears and which ought to disgust us, but which were so frightful
that we still lie to ourselves about
them, or hide them from our consciousness. _________________________________________________

 The Soviet Union Conspired to Foment World War II and Infiltrate
the U.S. Government
Stalin’s Plans Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin adopted
three Five-Year Plans beginning in 1927 designed to make the Soviet Union the greatest military
power in the world. Stalin also conspired to start a major war in Europe by drawing Great Britain
and France into war against Germany and other countries. Stalin’s plan was to eliminate one enemy with the hands of another. If Germany entered into a war with Great Britain and France, other countries would enter into the war and great destruction would follow. The Soviet Union could then invade Europe and easily take over the entire
continent.[1] Stalin first attempted to start a major war in Europe during the civil war in
Spain in 1936. Stalin’s political agents, propagandists, diplomats and spies in
Spain all screamed in outrage that children were dying in Spain while Great Britain and France did
nothing. However, Stalin’s agents were not able to spread the war beyond Spain’s borders. By the end of 1938,
Stalin stopped all anti-Hitler propaganda to calm Hitler and to encourage him to attack Poland.[2] Stalin eventually forced war in Europe with the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop
agreement. British and French delegations had arrived in Moscow on August 11, 1939, to discuss
joint action against Germany. During the course of these talks, British and French delegates
told the Soviets that if Germany attacked Poland, Great Britain and France would declare war
against Germany. This was the information Stalin needed to know. On August 19, 1939, Stalin stopped the talks with Great Britain and France, and told the German ambassador in Moscow that he wanted to reach an agreement with Germany.[3] On that same day, August 19, 1939, a secret meeting of the Politburo took place.
The following are some excerpts from Joseph Stalin’s speech:
If we accept Germany’s proposal about the conclusion of a pact regarding invasion, she will of course
attack Poland, and France and England’s involvement in this war will be inevitable. Western
Europe will be subjected to serious disorders and disturbances. Under these conditions, we
will have many chances to stay on the sidelines of the conflict, and we will be able to count
on our advantageous entrance into the war…It is in the interest of the USSR—the
motherland of workers—that the war unfolds between the Reich and the capitalist Anglo-French block. It is necessary to do everything within our powers to make this war last as long as possible, in order to exhaust the
two sides. It is precisely for this reason that we must agree to signing the pact, proposed
by Germany, and work on making this war, once declared, last a maximum amount of time.[4] On August 23, 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the
Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement which led to the destruction and division of Poland and the beginning
of World War II in Europe. The nations of Western Europe became mired in a destructive war while
the Soviet Union remained neutral. Stalin’s role in unleashing World War II was quickly
and thoroughly forgotten. Stalin even received an historically unprecedented amount of aid
from the United States and Great Britain after Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union.[5] American historian John Mosier writes about the Allied aid given to the Soviet
Union: His resources were being augmented daily by the vast flow of
British and American aid coming into the USSR. In the first half of 1943, Stalin had received
1,775,000 tons of aid; in the second half of the year he received 3,274,000 tons, a considerable
increase. Given that aid, and his willingness to see his citizenry slaughtered, the struggle would be bitter…[6] Debates on the importance of Allied aid to Stalin
have essentially been comparing the numbers of actual working armored vehicles that the British
and Americans loaded onto ships and transported to the USSR with the theoretical numbers of
armored vehicles that the tank factories claimed they had produced in order to satisfy Stalin’s
demands. Even on that comparison, however, the shipments were substantial: 12,575 British and American
tanks were sent to the Red Army, enough to equip 273 tank brigades based on the theoretical Soviet organizational
charts of December 1941, an armored force substantially larger than the one Stalin had lost in the first six months of the
war.[7] Why Hitler Signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Agreement
The Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement is remarkable in that Hitler repeatedly stated he hated Communism and did not trust the leaders of the Soviet Union. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf:
It must never be forgotten that the present rulers of Russia are blood-stained criminals,
that here we have the dregs of humanity which, favored by the circumstances of a tragic moment,
overran a great State, degraded and extirpated millions of educated people out of sheer blood-lust,
and that now for nearly 10 years they have ruled with such a savage tyranny as was never known
before. It must not be forgotten that these rulers belong to a people in whom the most bestial
cruelty is allied with a capacity for artful mendacity and believes itself today more than
ever called to impose its sanguinary despotism on the rest of the world. It must not be forgotten that the international Jew, who is today the absolute master of Russia, does not look upon Germany as an ally but as a State condemned to the same doom as Russia. One does not form an alliance with a partner whose only aim is the destruction of his fellow partner. Above all, one does not enter into alliances with people for whom no treaty is sacred; because they do not move about this earth as men of honor and sincerity but as the representatives of lies and deception, thievery and plunder and robbery. The man who thinks that he can bind himself by treaty with parasites is like the tree that believes it can form a profitable bargain with the ivy that
surrounds it.[8] Hitler also wrote in Mein Kampf: “Therefore
the fact of forming an alliance with Russia would be the signal for a new war. And the result
of that would be the end of Germany.”[9] Hitler repeated his distrust of the Soviet Union in a conversation on March 3,
1938 with British Ambassador Nevile Henderson. Hitler stated in this conversation that
any limitations on arms depended on the Soviet Union. Hitler noted that the problem was rendered
particularly difficult “by the fact that one could place as much confidence in the faith in
treaties of a barbarous creature like the Soviet Union as in the comprehension of mathematical formulae by a savage. Any agreement with the U.S.S.R. was quite worthless….” Hitler added that it was impossible, for example, to have faith in any Soviet agreement not to use poison gas.[10] Hitler’s statements in Mein Kampf and to Nevile Henderson were
prescient. Stalin had been planning to take over all of Europe ever since the 1920s.
Stalin and the Soviet Union could not be trusted to uphold any peace agreement. However, Hitler
entered into the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement because Hitler was desperate to end the atrocities being
committed against the ethnic Germans in Poland. Hitler was hoping that the Molotov-Ribbentrop
agreement would prevent Great Britain and France from declaring war against Germany.[11] Hitler also signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement because the negotiations
that had been ongoing between Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union had taken on a threatening
character for Germany. Hitler was confronted with the alternative of being encircled by this
massive alliance coalition or ending it via diplomatic channels. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-Aggression
Pact prevented Germany from being encircled by these three powers.[12] Stalin stayed out of the war in Europe he had conspired to instigate. Stalin
kept the war in Europe going by supplying much needed-supplies to Germany. However, Hitler’s
swift, surgical victory over France prevented the massive destruction in Europe Stalin had hoped
for. Soviet Foreign Affairs Minister Vyacheslav Molotov was sent to Germany in November 1940
to announce the Soviet Union’s new territorial demands in Europe. These new territorial demands
effectively ended the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement. Hitler was forced to launch a preemptive
attack on June 22, 1941, to prevent the Soviet Union from conquering all of Europe.[13] The Soviet war effort in the European theater of World War II was enormous. Most
historians underestimate the incredible power of the Soviet military. British historian Norman
Davies writes: “…the Soviet war effort was so overwhelming that impartial historians
in the future are unlikely to rate the British and American contribution to the European theatre
as much more than a supporting role. The proportions were not ‘Fifty-fifty’, as many imply when talking of the final onslaught on Nazi Germany from East and West. Sooner or later people will have to adjust to the fact that the Soviet role was enormous and the Western role was respectable but modest.”[14] A crucial factor that prevented the Soviet takeover of Europe was the more than
400,000 non-German Europeans who volunteered to fight on the Eastern Front. Combined with 600,000
German troops, the 1,000,000-man Waffen SS represented the first truly pan-European
army ever to exist. The heroism of these non-German volunteers who joined the Waffen
SS prevented the planned Soviet conquest of Europe. In this regard, Waffen SS Gen. Leon Degrelle wrote:
If the Waffen-SS had not existed, Europe would have been overrun entirely by the Soviets
by 1944. They would have reached Paris long before the Americans. Waffen-SS heroism stopped
the Soviet juggernaut at Moscow, Cherkov, Cherkassy and Tarnopol. The Soviets lost more than
12 months. Without SS resistance the Soviets would have been in Normandy before Eisenhower.
The people showed deep gratitude to the young men who sacrificed their lives.[15] The Soviet Union Infiltrated the U.S. Government
The Soviet Union also conspired to have Japan attack the United States. Harry Dexter White, later proven
to be a Soviet agent, carried out a mission to provoke Japan into war with the United States.
When Secretary of State Cordell Hull allowed the peacemakers in Roosevelt’s administration
to put together a modus vivendi that had real potential, White drafted a 10-point proposal
that the Japanese were certain to reject. White passed a copy of his proposal to Hull, and this
final American offer—the so-called “Hull Note”—was presented to the Japanese on November 26, 1941.[16] The Hull Note, which was based on two memoranda from White, was a declaration
of war as far as the Japanese were concerned. The Hull Note destroyed any possible peace settlement
with the Japanese, and led to the Japanese attack on the US fleet at Pearl Harbor. In this regard,
American historian John Koster writes: Harry Dexter White, acting
under orders of Soviet intelligence, pulled the strings by which Cordell Hull and [State Department
expert on Far Eastern Affairs] Stanley Hornbeck handed the Japanese an ultimatum that was tantamount
to a declaration of war—when both the Japanese cabinet and the U.S. military were desperately eager
for peace.…Harry Dexter White knew exactly what he was doing. The man himself remains a
mystery, but the documents speak for themselves. Harry Dexter White gave us Pearl Harbor.[17] The Soviets had also planted numerous other agents in the Roosevelt
administration. For example, Harold Glasser, a member of Morgenthau’s Treasury staff,
provided intelligence from the War Department and the White House to the Soviets. The Soviet
NKVD deemed Glasser’s reports so important that 74 reports generated from his material went directly
to Stalin. American historian Robert Wilcox writes of the Soviet infiltration of the U.S. government and its effect on Roosevelt:
These spies, plus the hundreds in other U.S. agencies at the time, including the military
and OSS, permeated the administration in Washington, and, ultimately, the White House,
surrounding FDR. He was basically in the Soviets’ pocket. He admired Stalin, sought his
favor. Right or wrong, he thought the Soviet Union indispensable in the war, crucial to bringing
world peace after it, and he wanted the Soviets handled with kid gloves. FDR was star struck.
The Russians hardly could have done better if he was a Soviet spy.[18] The opening of the Soviet archives in 1995 revealed
that more than 300 communist members or supporters had infiltrated the American government.
Working in Lend-Lease, the Treasury Department, the State Department, the office of the president,
the office of the vice president, and even American intelligence operations, these agents constantly
tried to shift U.S. policy in a pro-Soviet direction. During World War II several of these Soviet agents were well positioned to influence American policy. Especially at the Tehran and Yalta meetings toward the end of World War II, the Soviet spies were able to influence Roosevelt to make huge concessions to the Soviet Union.[19] The Soviet Union Allowed to Control Eastern Europe
In addition to instigating the war in Europe, the Allied leaders intentionally allowed the Soviet Union
to take over Berlin and Eastern Europe. The Supreme Allied Commander in the West, Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, had no intention of occupying Berlin. According to Nikita Khrushchev’s
memoirs, “Stalin said that if it hadn’t been for Eisenhower, we wouldn’t have
succeeded in capturing Berlin.”[20] Stalin wanted his troops to reach as far into Europe as possible to enable the
Soviet Union to control more of Europe after the war was over. Stalin knew that once Soviet
troops had a stronghold in Eastern Europe, it would be almost impossible to dislodge them. Soviet
hegemony could not be dislodged unless Roosevelt wanted to take on the Soviet Union after fighting
Germany. Stalin said in private: “Whoever occupies a territory imposes on it his own social
system. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach.”[21] The United States could easily have prevented the Soviet Union from marching
as far west into Europe as it did. After defeating Germany in North Africa, the Americans and
British went into Sicily and then Italy. Churchill favored an advance up the Italian or Balkan
peninsulas into central Europe. Such a march would be quicker in reaching Berlin, but Roosevelt
and Stalin opposed this strategy at the Tehran Conference in November 1943. In general sessions
at Tehran with Churchill present, Roosevelt opposed strengthening the Italian campaign. Instead, Roosevelt
wanted troops in Italy to go to France for the larger cross-Channel attack planned for 1944.[22] Gen. Mark Clark, the American commander in Italy, later commented on Roosevelt’s
decision: “The weakening of the campaign in Italy in order to invade Southern France,
instead of pushing on into the Balkans, was one of the outstanding mistakes of the war….Stalin
knew exactly what he wanted… and the thing he wanted most was to keep us out of the Balkans.”[23] The Allied military leaders also intentionally prevented Gen. George Patton from
quickly defeating Germany in Western Europe. In August 1944, Patton’s Third Army was presented
with an opportunity to encircle the Germans at Falaise, France. However, Gens. Omar Bradley
and Dwight Eisenhower ordered Patton to stop at Argentan and not complete the encirclement
of the Germans, which most historians agree Patton could have done. As a result, probably 100,000
or more German soldiers escaped to later fight U.S. troops in December 1944 in the last-ditch
counterattack known as the Battle of the Bulge.[24] Patton wrote in his diary concerning the halt that prevented the encirclement
of Germans at Falaise: “This halt [was] a great mistake. [Bradley’s] motto seems
to be, ‘In case of doubt, halt.’ I wish I were supreme commander.”[25] Maj. Gen. Richard Rohmer, who was a Canadian fighter pilot at the time, wrote
that if the gap had closed it “could have brought the surrender of the Third Reich, whose
senior generals were now desperately concerned about the ominous shadow of the great Russian
Bear rising on the eastern horizon of the Fatherland.” Even Col. Ralph Ingersoll, Gen.
Bradley’s own historian, wrote, “The failure to close the Argentan-Falaise gap was the loss of the greatest single opportunity of the war.”[26] By August 31, 1944, Patton had put Falaise behind him and quickly advanced his
tanks to the Meuse River, only 63 miles from the German border and 140 miles from the Rhine
River. The German army Patton was chasing was disorganized and in disarray; nothing could stop
Patton from roaring into Germany. However, on August 31, the Third Army’s gasoline allotment
was suddenly cut by 140,000 gallons per day. This was a huge chunk of the 350,000 to 400,000
gallons per day the Third Army had been consuming. Patton’s advance was halted even though
the way ahead was open and largely undefended by the German army in retreat. Siegfried
Westphal, Gen. von Rundstedt’s chief of staff, later described the condition of the German army on the day Patton was stopped: “The overall situation in the West [for the Germans] was serious in the extreme.
The Allies could have punched through at any point with ease.” The halt of the Third-Army
blitzkrieg allowed the Germans to reposition and revitalize. With the knowledge that they were
defending their home soil, the Germans found a new purpose for fighting. They were not just
waging a war, but were defending their families from what they regarded as revenge-seeking hordes.[27] Germany took advantage of the overall Allied slowdown and reorganized her troops
into a major fighting force. Germany’s counterattack in the Battle of the Bulge took Allied
forces completely by surprise. The Germans created a “bulge” in the overextended
American line, and the Allies ran the risk of being cut off and possibly annihilated or thrown
back into the sea. Patton had to pull back his Third Army in the east and begin another full-scale attack on the southern flank of the German forces. Patton’s troops arrived in a matter of days
and were the crucial factor in pushing the German bulge back into Germany.[28] Patton was re-enthused after the Battle of the Bulge and wanted to quickly take
his Third Army into the heart of Germany. The German Army had no more reserves and was definitely
on its last legs. However, once again Patton was held back by Gen Eisenhower and the Joint Chiefs
of Staff led by Gen. George Marshall. Patton was dumbfounded. Patton wrote: “I’ll
be damned if I see why we have divisions if not to use them. One would think people would like
to win a war…we will be criticized by history, and rightly so, for having sat still so long.”[29] The Western Allies were still in a position to easily capture Berlin. However,
Eisenhower ordered a halt of American troops at the Elbe River, thereby in effect presenting
a gift to the Soviet Union of central Germany and much of Europe. One American staff officer
bitterly commented: “No German force could have stopped us. The only thing that stood
between [the] Ninth Army and Berlin was Eisenhower.”[30] On May 8, 1945, the day the war in Europe officially ended, Patton spoke his
mind in an “off-the-record” press briefing. With tears in his eyes, Patton recalled
those “who gave their lives in what they believed was the final fight in the cause of freedom.” Patton continued: I wonder how [they] will speak today when
they know that for the first time in centuries we have opened Central and Western Europe to
the forces of Genghis Khan. I wonder how they feel now that they know there will be no peace
in our times and that Americans, some not yet born, will have to fight the Russians tomorrow, or 10, 15 or 20 years from tomorrow. We have spent the last months since the Battle of the Bulge and the crossing of the
Rhine stalling; waiting for Montgomery to get ready to attack in the North; occupying useless
real estate and killing a few lousy Huns when we should have been in Berlin and Prague. And
this Third Army could have been. Today we should be telling the Russians to go to hell instead
of hearing them tell us to pull back. We should be telling them if they didn’t like it
to go to hell and invite them to fight. We’ve defeated one aggressor against mankind and
established a second far worse, more evil and more dedicated than the first.[31] A few days later Patton shocked everyone at a Paris hotel gathering
by saying basically the same things. At a later gathering in Berlin, when asked to drink a
toast with a Soviet general, Patton told his translator, “tell that Russian sonovabitch
that from the way they’re acting here, I regard them as enemies and I’d rather cut
my throat than have a drink with one of my enemies!”[32] Patton became known among U.S. and Soviet leaders as a bona-fide menace and a
threat to world peace. In addition, Patton was viewed as insubordinate, uncontrollable, and,
in the eyes of some, treasonous. U.S. Maj. Douglas Bazata claims he was given the order to assassinate
Patton by the Office of Strategic Services, an American military-espionage unit. Bazata says
he shot Patton during a planned auto wreck of Patton’s vehicle on December 9, 1945. Patton
later died in a hospital on December 21, 1945 under very suspicious circumstances.[33] Conclusion The
US fought in World War II supposedly to stop fascist aggression and to create democratic institutions in the liberated nations of Europe. However, within a remarkably short period after the end of the war, the Soviet Union ruthlessly subjected Eastern Europe to its totalitarian control. The Red Army brought Moscow-trained secret policemen into every Soviet-occupied country, put local communists in control of the national media, and dismantled youth groups and other civic organizations. The Soviets also brutally arrested, murdered and deported people whom they believed to be anti-Soviet, and enforced a policy of ethnic cleansing.[34] A
war allegedly fought for democracy and freedom had turned into a totalitarian nightmare for the people of the Eastern European nations. This result was not accidental. The historical record indicates that the Soviet Union
actively conspired to instigate World War II. The U.S. government was also infiltrated by high-level
Soviet agents who influenced Franklin Roosevelt to make huge concessions to the Soviet Union
at the Tehran and Yalta Conferences. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower also prevented Gen. Patton and
other U.S. forces from taking over Berlin and the rest of Eastern Europe before the Soviets
could do so. The Allies had planned a long and devastating war resulting
in the complete destruction of Germany. This is indicated by a conversation on November 21,
1938 between U.S. Ambassador to France William Bullitt and Polish Ambassador Jerzy Potocki.
According to what military experts told Bullitt during the fall crisis of 1938, a war lasting at least six years would break out in Europe. In the military experts’ opinion the war would result in the complete destruction
of Europe, with communism reigning in every European state. The benefits would accrue to the
Soviet Union at the conclusion of the war. Bullitt, who enjoyed the special confidence of President
Roosevelt, also told Potocki that the United States would take part in the war after Great Britain
and France had made the first move.[35] The complete destruction of Germany and the communist takeover of Eastern Europe occurred exactly
as Bullitt had predicted. Notes

CRAIG ROBERTS
TELLS THE TRUTH
ABOUT WWII
The Lies About World War II
Paul Craig Roberts
In the
aftermath of a war, history cannot be written. The losing side has no one to speak for it. Historians on the winning side are constrained by years of war propaganda that demonized
the enemy while obscuring the crimes of the righteous victors.
People want to enjoy and feel good about their victory,
not learn that their side was responsible for the war or that the war could have been avoided except for the hidden agendas of their own leaders. Historians are also constrained by the unavailability of information. To hide mistakes, corruption, and crimes,
governments lock up documents for decades. Memoirs
of participants are not yet written. Diaries are
lost or withheld from fear of retribution. It is expensive and time consuming to locate witnesses, especially those on the losing side, and to convince them to answer questions. Any account that challenges the “happy account” requires
a great deal of confirmation from official documents, interviews,
letters, diaries, and memoirs, and even that won’t be enough. For the history of World War II in Europe, these documents can be spread from New Zealand and Australia across Canada and the US through Great Britain and Europe and into Russia.
A historian on the track of the truth faces long years
of strenuous investigation and development of the acumen
to judge and assimilate the evidence he uncovers into a truthful picture of what transpired. The truth is always immensely different from the victor’s war propaganda.
As I reported recently, Harry Elmer Barnes was the first American
historian to provide a history of the first world
war that was based on primary sources. His truthful account differed so substantially from the war propaganda that he was called every name in the book.
Truth is seldom
welcomed. David Irving, without any doubt the best historian of the European part of World War II, learned at his great expense that challenging myths does not go unpunished. Nevertheless, Irving persevered. If you want to escape from the lies
about World War II that still direct our disastrous course,
you only need to study two books by David Irving: Hitler’s War and the first volume of his Churchill biography, Churchill’s War: The Struggle for Power .
Irving is the historian who spent decades tracking down diaries, survivors, and demanding release of official documents. He is the historian who found the Rommel diary and Goebbles’ diaries, the historian who gained entry into the Soviet archives, and so
on. He is familiar with more actual facts about the
second world war than the rest of the historians combined. The
famous British military historian, Sir John Keegan, wrote in the Times Literary Supplement: “Two books stand out from the vast literature of the Second World War:
Chester Wilmot’s The Struggle for Europe,
published in 1952, and David Irving’s Hitler’s War.
Despite many such accolades, today Irving is demonized and has to publish his own books.
I will avoid the story of how this came to be, but, yes, you guessed it, it was the
Zionists.
You simply cannot say anything that alters
their propagandistic picture of history.
In what follows,
I am going to present what is my impression from reading these two magisterial
works. Irving himself is very scant on opinions. He only provides the facts from official documents, recorded intercepts, diaries, letters and interviews.
World War II was Churchill’s War, not
Hitler’s war. Irving provides documented facts from which the reader cannot avoid this conclusion. Churchill got his war, for which he longed, because of the Versailles Treaty that stripped Germany of German territory and unjustly and irresponsibly imposed humiliation on Germany.
Hitler and Nationalist Socialist Germany (Nazi stands for National Socialist German
Workers’ Party) are the most demonized entities in
history. Any person who finds any good in Hitler or Germany
is instantly demonized. The person becomes an outcast regardless
of the facts. Irving is very much aware of this. Every time his factual account of Hitler starts to display a person too much different from the demonized image, Irving throws in some negative language about Hitler.
Similarly for Winston Churchill. Every time Irving’s factual account displays a person
quite different from the worshiped icon, Irving throws in some appreciative
language.
This is what a historian has to do to survive telling the truth.
To be clear, in what follows, I am merely reporting what seems to me to be the conclusion
from the documented facts presented in these two works of scholarship.
I am merely reporting what I understand Irving’s
research to have established. You read the books and
arrive at your own conclusion.
World War II was initiated
by the British and French declaration of war on Germany,
not
by a surprise blitzkrieg from Germany. The utter rout and collapse of the British and French armies was the result of Britain declaring a war for which Britain was unprepared to fight and of the foolish French trapped by a treaty with the British, who quickly deserted their French ally, leaving France at Germany’s mercy.
Germany’s mercy was substantial. Hitler
left a large part of France and the French colonies
unoccupied and secure from war under a semi-independent government under Petain. For his service in protecting a semblance of French independence, Petain was sentenced to death by Charles de Gaulle after the war for collaboration with Germany,
an unjust charge.
In Britain, Churchill
was out of power. He figured a war would put him back in power.
No Britisher could match Churchill’s rhetoric and orations. Or determination. Churchill desired power, and he wanted to reproduce the amazing military feats of his
distinguished ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, whose
biography Churchill was writing and who defeated after
years of military struggle France’s powerful Sun King, Louis XIV, the ruler of Europe.
In contrast to the British aristocrat, Hitler was a man of the people. He acted
for the German
people. The Versailles Treaty had dismembered
Germany. Parts of Germany were confiscated and given to
France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. As Germany had not actually lost the war, being the occupiers of foreign territory when Germany agreed to a deceptive armistice, the loss of approximately 7 million German people to Poland and Czechoslovakia, where Germans were abused, was not considered a fair outcome.
Hitler’s program was to put Germany back together again.
He succeeded without war until
it came to Poland. Hitler’s
demands were fair and realistic, but Churchill, financed by the Focus Group with Jewish money, put such pressure on British prime minister Chamberlain that Chamberlain intervened in the Polish-German negotiations and issued a British guarantee to the Polish military dictatorship should Poland refuse to release German
territory and populations.
The British
had no way of making good on the guarantee, but the Polish military dictatorship
lacked the intelligence to realize that. Consequently, the Polish Dictatorship refused Germany’s request.
From this mistake of Chamberlain and the stupid Polish dictatorship,
came the Ribbentrop/Molotov
agreement that Germany and
the Soviet Union would split Poland between themselves. When
Hitler attacked Poland, Britain and the hapless French declared war on Germany because of the unenforceable British guarantee. But the British and French were careful not to declare war on the Soviet Union for occupying the eastern half of Poland.
Thus Britain was responsible for World War II, first by stupidly interfering
in German/Polish
negotiations, and second by declaring
war on Germany.
Churchill
was focused on war with Germany, which he intended for years preceding the war. But Hitler didn’t want any war with Britain or with France, and never intended to invade
Britain. The invasion threat was a chimera conjured up by
Churchill to unite England behind him. Hitler expressed
his view that the British Empire was essential for order in the world, and that in its absence Europeans would lose their world supremacy. After Germany’s rout of the French and British armies, Hitler offered an extraordinarily generous
peace to Britain. He said he wanted nothing from Britain
but the return of Germany’s colonies. He committed
the German military to the defense of the British Empire, and said he would reconstitute both Polish and Czech states and leave them to their own discretion. He told his associates that defeat of the British Empire would do nothing for Germany
and everything for Bolshevik Russia and Japan.
Winston Churchill kept Hitler’s peace offers as secret as he
could and succeeded in his
efforts to block any peace.
Churchill wanted war, largely it appears, for his own glory. Franklin Delano Roosevelt slyly encouraged Churchill in his war but without
making any commitment in Britain’s behalf. Roosevelt
knew that the war would achieve his own aim of bankrupting
Britain and destroying the British Empire, and that the US dollar would inherit the powerful position from the British pound of being the world’s reserve currency. Once Churchill had trapped Britain in a war she could not win on her own,
FDR began doling out bits of aid in exchange for extremely
high prices—for example, 60 outdated and largely
useless US destroyers for British naval bases in the Atlantic. FDR delayed Lend-Lease until desperate Britain had turned over $22,000 million of British gold plus $42 million in gold Britain had in South Africa. Then began the forced sell-off of British
overseas investments. For example, the British-owned
Viscose Company, which was worth $125 million in 1940 dollars,
had no debts and held $40 million in government bonds,
was sold to the House of Morgan for $37 million. It was such an act of thievery that the British eventually got about two-thirds of the company’s value to hand over to Washington in payment for war munitions. American aid was also “conditional on
Britain dismantling the system of Imperial preference anchored
in the Ottawa agreement of 1932.” For Cordell
Hull, American aid was “a knife to open that oyster shell, the Empire.” Churchill saw it coming, but he was too far in to do anything but plead with FDR: It would be wrong,
Churchill wrote to Roosevelt, if “Great Britain
were to be divested of all saleable assets so that after
the victory was won with our blood, civilization saved, and the time gained for the United States to be fully armed against all eventualities, we should stand stripped to the bone.”
A
long essay could be written about how Roosevelt stripped Britain of her assets and
world power. Irving writes that in an era of gangster statesmen, Churchill was not in Roosevelt’s league. The survival of the British Empire was not a priority for FDR. He
regarded Churchill as a pushover—unreliable and drunk
most of the time. Irving reports that FDR’s policy
was to pay out just enough to give Churchill “the kind of support a rope gives a hanging man.” Roosevelt pursued “his subversion of the Empire throughout the war.” Eventually Churchill realized that Washington was
at war with Britain more fiercely than was Hitler.
The great irony was that Hitler had offered Churchill peace and the survival of the Empire. When it was too late, Churchill came to Hitler’s conclusion that the conflict with Germany was a “most unnecessary” war. Pat
Buchanan sees it that way also.
Hitler forbade the bombing of civilian areas
of British cities. It was Churchill who initiated
this war crime, later emulated by the Americans. Churchill kept the British bombing of German civilians secret from the British people and worked to prevent Red Cross monitoring of air raids so no one would learn he was bombing civilian residential areas,
not war production. The purpose of Churchill’s bombing—first
incendiary bombs to set everything afire and then high
explosives to prevent firefighters from controlling the blazes—was to provoke a German attack on London, which Churchill reckoned would bind the British people to him and create sympathy in the US for Britain that would help Churchill pull America into
the war. One British raid murdered 50,000 people
in Hamburg, and a subsequent attack on Hamburg netted 40,000
civilian deaths. Churchill also ordered that poison gas be added to the firebombing of German civilian residential areas and that Rome be bombed into ashes. The British Air Force refused both orders. At the very end of the war the British and Americans destroyed the beautiful baroque city of Dresden, burning and suffocating
100,000 people in the attack. After months of firebombing
attacks on Germany, including Berlin, Hitler gave in to
his generals and replied in kind. Churchill succeeded. The
story became “the London Blitz,” not the British blitz of Germany.
Like Hitler in Germany, Churchill took over the direction of the war. He functioned more
as a dictator who ignored the armed services than as a prime minister advised
by the country’s military leaders. Both leaders
might have been correct in their assessment of their commanding
officers, but Hitler was a much better war strategist than Churchill, for whom nothing ever worked. To Churchill’s WW I Gallipoli misadventure was now added the introduction of British troops into Norway, Greece, Crete, Syria—all ridiculous decisions and failures—and the Dakar fiasco. Churchill also
turned on the French, destroying the French fleet and lives
of 1,600 French sailors because of his personal fear, unfounded,
that Hitler would violate his treaty with the French and seize the fleet. Any one of these Churchillian mishaps could have resulted in a no confidence vote, but with Chamberlain and Halifax out of the way there was no alternative leadership. Indeed, the lack of leadership is the reason neither the cabinet nor the military
could stand up to Churchill, a person of iron determination.
Hitler also was a person of iron determination, and he wore out both
himself and Germany
with his determination. He never wanted
war with England and France. This was Churchill’s
doing, not Hitler’s. Like Churchill, who had the British people behind him, Hitler had the German people behind him, because he stood for Germany and had reconstructed
Germany from the rape and ruin of the Versailles Treaty.
But Hitler, not an aristocrat like Churchill, but of low
and ordinary origins, never had the loyalty of many of the aristocratic Prussian military officers, those with “von” before their name. He was afflicted with traitors in the Abwehr, his military intelligence, including its director, Adm. Canaris.
On the Russian front in the final year, Hitler was betrayed
by generals who opened avenues for the Russians into undefended
Berlin.
Hitler’s worst mistakes were
his alliance with Italy and his decision to invade Russia. He
was also mistaken to let the British go at Dunkirk. He let them go because he did not want to ruin the chance for ending the war by humiliating the British by the loss of their entire
army. But with Churchill there was no chance for
peace. By not destroying the British army, Hitler boosted
Churchill who turned the evacuation into British heroics that sustained the willingness to fight on.
It is unclear why Hitler invaded Russia. One possible reason is poor or intentionally
deceptive information from the Abwehr on Russian military capability. Hitler later said to his associates that he never would have invaded if he had known of the
enormous size of the Russian army and the extraordinary
capability of the Soviets to produce tanks and aircraft.
Some historians have concluded that the reason Hitler invaded Russia
was that he concluded that the British would not agree to end the war because they expected Russia to enter the war on Britain’s side. Therefore, Hitler decided to foreclose that possibility by conquering Russia. A Russian has written
that Hitler attacked because Stalin was preparing to attack
Germany. Stalin did have considerable forces far forward,
but It would make more sense for Stalin to wait until the West devoured
itself in mutual bloodletting, step in afterwards and scoop it all up if he wanted. Or perhaps Stalin was positioning to occupy part of Eastern Europe in order to put more buffer between the Soviet Union and Germany.
Whatever the reason for the invasion, what defeated Hitler was the earliest Russian
winter in 30 years. It stopped everything in its tracks before the well planned and succeeding encirclement could be completed. The harsh winter that immobilized
the Germans gave Stalin time to recover.
Because of Hitler’s alliance with Mussolini, who lacked an effective
fighting force,
resources needed on the Russian front were
twice drained off in order to rescue Italy. Because
of Mussolini’s misadventures, Hitler had to drain troops, tanks, and air planes from the Russian invasion to rescue Italy in Greece and North Africa and to occupy Crete. Hitler made this mistake out of loyalty to Mussolini. Later
in the war when Russian counterattacks were pushing the
Germans out of Russia, Hitler had to divert precious military
resources to rescue Mussolini from arrest and to occupy Italy to prevent her surrender. Germany simply lacked the manpower and military resources to fight on a 1,000 mile front in Russia, and also in Greece and North Africa, occupy part of France, and man defenses against a US/British invasion of Normandy and Italy.
The German Army was a magnificent fighting force, but it was overwhelmed
by too many
fronts, too little equipment, and careless
communications. The Germans never caught on despite
much evidence that the British could read their encryption. Thus, efforts to supply Rommel in North Africa were prevented by the British navy.
Irving never directly addresses in either book the Holocaust. He does document the
massacre of many Jews, but the picture that emerges from the factual evidence
is that the holocaust of Jewish people was different from
the official Zionist story.
No German plans,
or orders from Hitler, or from Himmler or anyone else have ever
been found for an organized holocaust by gas and cremation of Jews. This is extraordinary as such a massive use of resources and transportation would have required massive organization, budgets and resources. What documents do
show is Hitler’s plan to relocate European Jews to
Madagascar after the war’s end. With the early
success of the Russian invasion, this plan was changed to sending the European Jews to the Jewish Bolsheviks in the eastern part of Russia that Hitler was going to leave to Stalin. There are documented orders given by Hitler preventing massacres of Jews. Hitler said over and over that “the
Jewish problem” would be settled after the
war.
It seems that most of the massacres of Jews
were committed by German political
administrators of occupied
territories in the east to whom Jews from Germany and France
were sent for relocation. Instead of dealing with the inconvenience, some of the administrators lined them up and shot them into open trenches. Other Jews fell victim to the anger of Russian villagers who had long suffered under Jewish Bolshevik administrators.
The “death camps” were in fact work camps. Auschwitz, for example, today a
Holocaust museum, was the site of Germany’s essential artificial rubber factory. Germany was desperate for a work force. A significant percentage of
German war production labor had been released to the Army
to fill the holes in German lines on the Russian front.
War production sites, such as Auschwitz, had as a work force
refugees displaced from their homes by war, Jews to be deported after war’s end, and anyone else who could be forced into work. Germany desperately needed whatever work force it could get.
Every camp had crematoriums. Their purpose was not to exterminate populations
but to dispose of deaths from the scourge of typhus, natural deaths, and other diseases. Refugees were from all over, and they brought diseases and germs with them.
The horrific photos of masses of skeleton-like dead bodies
that are said to be evidence of organized extermination
of Jews are in fact camp inmates who died from typhus and
starvation in the last days of the war when Germany was disorganized and devoid of medicines and food for labor camps. The great noble Western victors themselves bombed the labor camps and contributed to the deaths of inmates.
The two books on which I have reported total 1,663 pages, and there are two more
volumes of the Churchill biography. This massive, documented historical
information seemed likely to pass into the Memory Hole as
it is inconsistent with both the self-righteousness of
the West and the human capital of court historians. The facts are too costly to be known. But historians have started adding to their own accounts the information uncovered by Irving. It takes a brave historian to praise him, but they can
cite him and plagiarize him.
It is amazing how much power Zionists have gotten from the Holocaust. Norman Finkelstein calls it The Holocaust Industry. There is ample
evidence that Jews along with many others suffered, but
Zionists insist that it was an unique experience limited to Jews.
In his Introduction to Hitler’s War Irving reports that despite the widespread sales
of
his book, the initial praise from accomplished historians
and the fact that the book was required reading at military
academies from Sandhurst to West Point, “I have had
my home smashed into by thugs, my family terrorized, my name smeared, my printers [publishers] firebombed, and myself arrested and deported by tiny, democratic Austria—an illegal act, their courts decided, for which the ministerial culprits were
punished; at the behest of disaffected academics and influential
citizens [Zionists], in subsequent years, I was deported
from Canada (in 1992), and refused entry to Australia,
New Zealand, Italy, South Africa and other civilized countries around he world. Internationally affiliated groups circulated letters to librarians, pleading for this book to be taken off their shelves.”
So much for free thought and truth in the Western world. Nothing is so little regarded
in the West as free thought, free expression, and truth. In the West
explanations are controlled in order to advance the agendas
of the ruling interest groups. As David Irving has learned,
woe to anyone who gets in the way. __________________________________________________________________________________ The Eastern Front: The Soviet-German War
... In the United States, Britain, and other Western countries, there has been much self-congratulation
about how "we" won the Second World War. Yet, it was on the Eastern Front that the outcome of the war was decided.
Had the best of Hitler's forces not been fighting the Soviets, it is unlikely that there would have been any Allied victory
in 1945, or anytime foreseeable thereafter ... The Soviet Union proved to be a far more resilient opponent than predicted
... Even through the last weeks of the war, German regular troops and officers were, on average, superior to their opponents
in the East and the West. The Wehrmacht was simply overwhelmed by the forces of the Soviet Union and her Western Allies.

The Eastern Front: Memoirs of a Waffen SS Volunteer
A gripping first-person memoir of soldierly sacrifice, heroism and fierce combat against numerically superior
Soviet forces during World War II, by a charismatic Belgian writer and politician turned front-line infantryman.
New, revised IHR edition, with index and photos. Here is the epic story of the Walloon Legion, a volunteer Belgian unit
of the World War II pan-European SS force, as told - in absorbing prose -- by the legendary Degrelle. Captures the grit, terror and
glory of Europe's crusade against Communism. (Also available from the IHR in both hardcover and paperback editions.) Time to Face the Truth About World War II
... Stalin knew that Germany's invasion of Poland would cause Britain and France
to declare war on Germany. Stalin expected
to pick up the pieces after Germany, Britain and France had exhausted themselves and were ripe for invasion and Communist revolution ... Soviet propaganda later tried to
cover up Stalin's plan to attack Europe, claiming his forces were outmoded and unprepared, and generals incompetent ... But, contends Suvorov, had Hitler not
attacked first in 1941, Stalin's 30-million
man army, backed by mammoth industrial production, would have overwhelmed all of Europe in a 1941 surprise blitz. Suvorov's unstated conclusion: Hitler saved Western
Europe from Stalin ... Hitler, in his own warped thinking, believed he was actually doing good for mankind. Stalin had no such illusions. His only interest
was raw power.
| Exposing Stalin's Plan to Conquer Europe
... Thus, when German forces struck [the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941], the bulk of Red ground and air forces
were concentrated along the Soviet western
borders facing contiguous European countries, especially the German Reich and Romania, in final readiness for an assault on Europe. In his second book on the
origins of the war, "M Day" (for
"Mobilization Day"), Suvorov details how, between late 1939 and the summer of 1941, Stalin methodically and
systematically built up the best armed,
most powerful military force in the world -- actually the world's first superpower -- for his planned conquest of Europe. Suvorov explains how Stalin's drastic conversion
of the country's economy for war actually made war inevitable.

World
War II German 'Eastern Campaign' Song
"From
Finland to the Black Sea" is a stirring wartime song that was commissioned for the military campaign by Germany
and allied nations against the Soviet Union. Also known as the
"Russia Song" and "Forwards to the East," it was first broadcast in June 1941 a few days after the beginning of "Operation Barbarossa," the
greatest military strike in history.
Composed by Norbert Schultze, it was commissioned by Reich Minister Goebbels. Color footage of combat accompanies the music. Runtime: 4:12 mins.
A Straight Look at the Second World War
By Willis A. Carto. WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN ATTEMPT to set the historical record
straight, without influence from the powers that be. By this phrase, I
do not exclude the influence and power of organized Jewry, which is heavily involved
in the sad history of the Aryan West. Further, I believe that liberals who
do not recognize this influence are a part, knowing it or not, of the cosmopolitan array dedicated to exterminating our race forever.(1) It is now 67 years after the holocaust
known as World War II. Perhaps it is time to look at it truthfully. America
is in big trouble. The unpayable national debt is only a small part of it.
Fact is, the white world is in big trouble. Not only America, but Europe—the
homeland of the white race—is facing mortal danger. It’s life or death for the white race—the race that for all its faults created Western civilization.(2) The so-called victors of World War II
won that costly struggle for the survival of Stalinist Russia and killed the
very movement in Europe that was specifically dedicated to—and was accomplishing—the
destruction of Communist Russia—the National Socialist movement created and
led by Adolf Hitler. Worse, the Allies—Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin then proceeded
to perpetrate crimes upon the survivors unparalleled in Europe since Genghis
Khan. Probably 3 million innocent Europeans perished from torture, murder,
exposure and starvation after the hostilities ended.(3) These atrocities were directed by the Allied supreme commander,
Dwight Eisenhower, a protégé of financier Bernard Baruch,(4)
known at the time as “king of the Jews.” It was Baruch who influenced
Roosevelt to promote Eisenhower, a desk bureaucrat who had never seen combat,
over the heads of 1,109 officers superior to him in experience, competence
and seniority to take supreme command of the hostilities. Ike’s superior was
in fact not FDR but the “king of the Jews.” At least 55 million people were killed in Europe in this
war, not counting at least 60 million who were killed by the Communists for
political or racial reasons in the Soviet Union before and during WWII.
This number includes the gifted and handsome Russian aristocracy. Of these martyrs,
almost all were non-Jewish Aryan.(5) The Allied supreme commander, Eisenhower, illegally crowded a million captured German soldiers into open fields surrounded by barbwire in subfreezing weather. Without shelter, without food, without even toilet facilities, they died in misery. Civilians who tried to feed them were shot, on direct orders from Ike.
Of course, Wehrmacht soldiers who surrendered to the Russians fared as badly— most died in Siberia or were tortured. The Soviet Union never signed the Geneva Conventions. See Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago. James Bacque, in his Other Losses, documents this horror with the appalling facts. Giles MacDonogh—heavily
prejudiced against Germans—cannot deny what happened in his After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation. Dr. Austin App has written more than one short booklet about
American atrocities visited upon helpless German civilians. (See bibliography at
end of article.) AMERICAN ATROCITIES Edward L. van Roden served in World War II as chief of
the Military Justice Division for the European theater. Van Roden was
appointed in 1948 to an extraordinary commission charged with investigating
the claims of abuse during U.S. trials in Germany. Here is an excerpt of
what van Roden wrote: American investigators at the U.S. court in Dachau, Germany used the following methods to obtain confessions: Beatings and brutal kickings. Knocking out teeth and breaking jaws. Mock trials. Solitary confinement. Posturing as priests. Very limited rations. Spiritual deprivation. Promises of acquittal…. We won the war, but some of us want to go on killing. That seems to me wicked…. The American prohibition of hearsay evidence had been suspended. Second-and third-hand testimony was admitted…. Lt. Perl of the prosecution pleaded that it was difficult to obtain complete evidence. Perl told the court. “We had a tough case to crack, and we had to use persuasive methods.” He admitted to the court that the persuasive methods included various “expedients including some violence and mock trials.” He further told the court that the cases rested on statements obtained by such methods. The statements which were admitted as
evidence were obtained from men who had first been kept in solitary confinement
for three, four and five months. They were confined between four walls, with
no windows and no opportunity of exercise. Two meals a day were shoved
in to them through a slot in the door. They were not allowed to talk to anyone. They
had no communication with their families or any minister or priest during that
time…. Our investigators would put a black hood over the accused’s head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles, kick him and beat him with rubber hoses. Many of the German defendants had teeth knocked out. Some had their jaws broken. All
but two of the Germans, in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in
the testicles beyond repair. This was standard operating procedure with American
investigators. Perl admitted use of mock trials and persuasive methods including
violence and said the court was free to decide the weight to be attached to evidence
thus received. But it all went in. One 18-year-old defendant, after a series of beatings, was writing a statement being dictated to him. When they reached the 16th page, the boy was locked up for the night. In the early morning, Germans in nearby cells heard him muttering: “I will not utter another lie.” When the jailer came in later to get him to finish his false statement, he found the German hanging from a cell bar, dead. However, the statement that the German had hanged himself to escape signing was offered and received in evidence
in the trial of the others. ADOLF HITLER One of the most remarkable persons in European history
was born in the small town of Linz, Austria, on April 20, 1889. From boyhood
his friends knew that he was special. His closest friend was August
Kubizek, whose book The Young Hitler I Knew is a fount of information concerning this person, and it is
highly recommended for interested parties. Kubizek relates incidents where Hitler
would—as if seeing visions—tell his friend how he intended to rebuild
Linz and his architectural plans for the entire area. Art was Hitler’s chosen calling and he supported himself before World War I in Vienna by selling his. A Texan, Billy Price, has published a book containing about a thousand of these interesting pencil sketches and watercolors. Many of Hitler’s attributes are
acknowledged, such as his incredible memory, his physical courage, his
speaking ability, his ability to charm persons on a one-on-one basis and his
political acumen. What writers who are unfriendly do not wish to recognize, however, are his profound and detailed knowledge of history and historical personalities, his strong sense of fairness, his pronounced interest in art and architecture, his talent as a first-class military strategist,
his idealism and his justified determination to redress the punitive Versailles
Treaty that had crippled Germany after World War I. In 1919, with the outbreak
of war, Hitler enlisted in the German army and by so doing made the political statement
that he detested the Austrian royal leadership and considered himself German.
Hitler’s
military record is outstanding. This was before tactical commanders could use
telephone or radio to issue orders or otherwise communicate to coordinate the army’s units. To get messages from commanders to commander required a soldier of uncommon
dependability and courage. Hitler volunteered for this job and went through
every major battle during that harrowing period, repeatedly going through
the worst of the fighting. He was gassed in 1914 and wounded in the leg in 1916.
These battles includeYpres (Oct. 14-17, 1914), Neure Chapelle (March 10-13, 1915),
Arras (April 9 June 16, 1917), Passchendalle (July-Nov., 1917) and Somme (Oct. 1916). In contrast, neither Roosevelt nor Churchill
ever served a day in combat. Churchill was a newspaper reporter and was captured
in South Africa in 1899 by Boers, but all he did was to hold up his arms and
surrender. After the war, the British blockaded Germany in order to starve to death as many Germans as possible. Realizing that only leadership could meet this mortal crisis, Hitler looked around for a political movement, a movement with capable leadership that he could support .After considerable effort, he found a fledgling party, the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei;
NSDAP). He joined as member No. 7. Meanwhile, at least 763,000 Germans were
purposefully starved to death. Soon, he discovered that he had a talent for public speaking and political leadership. The subsequent story of the growth of the NSDAP is fantastic. Before long, meetings at which Hitler spoke were attended by thousands. Communists—who were well organized—tried to break up the meetings and the outdoor rallies using brutal violence but the NS membership was always ready for these tactics and, in defending their right to exist, developed their own street army, the Sturmabteilung (SA). Many German workingmen who had been beguiled
by the well-financed Communists gravitated to the NSDAP with its strong
message of nationalism and patriotism. Britain’s traditional policy regarding the continent was “balance of power,” meaning that it would support the weaker nation or coalition on the mainland and play off the power combines against each other, thus freeing Britain to further aggrandize itself on the 17/20ths of the globe it then controlled. In spite of these facts, Hitler had no
animus against Britain, and he made it clear in his Mein Kampf as well as in many speeches and in his
foreign policy that he wanted peace with this nation, whose Anglo-Saxon and
Keltic peoples were so closely related to Germans. Let the British rule their
empire on which the Sun never set and give him a free hand on the continent
so that he could turn his attention to the vital job of keeping the Soviet
Union at bay. Hitler knew that Stalin’s strategy was to conquer
Europe (including the British Isles) and add it to the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (USSR). Hitler was far too smart to entertain any idea of
“conquering the world.” His motives, in other words, were good. Hitler wanted peace, but his sin was that
he recognized the corrosive, destructive influence of the Rothschild-Zionist-Jewish
presence in Europe and tried to do something about it. In their eyes, this
was intolerable, and the British declaration of war against Germany on Sept. 3,
1939 was the answer to the perceived problem.
Today there are few if any historians who do not agree that the Versailles
Treaty imposed on Germany after World War I was extremely one-sided and practically
guaranteed another war. Following its traditional policy, on Sept.
3, 1939, England allied itself with Communist Russia and declared war on a Germany
that did everything possible to avoid hostilities. Rothschild-Jewish pressure
on England was irresistible. And while Roosevelt was promising America over and
over again in his fireside chats, “I say to you again and again and
again that your boys will not be sent to a foreign war,” he was scheming
with Churchill to do precisely that. Before the war, Jewish organizations—supported by the international press—screamed that Hitler was exterminating Jews by the millions. This is exactly what the Jews claimed during World War I, and they used the same number then: 6 million. [See The First Holocaust by
Don Heddesheimer.] Of course, this was a blatant lie. True, Hitler imprisoned some minorities who were opposed to his policies, including Communists and religious zealots, to avoid sabotage of the German war effort, exactly as FDR imprisoned the Japanese in camps
across the United States. The Big Lie of the so-called “Holocaust” has netted Jews not only billions of dollars in U.S. and German coin but additional billions in German goods, such as highly advanced submarines and weapons, not to mention a very valuable piece
of real estate in Palestine plus the tearful sympathy of American and European
media and politicians. GERMAN WAR AIMS Hitler’s war aims were to defend Germany from England’s (and later, America’s) invasion and to exterminate Soviet Communism. He and the German foreign minister, von Ribbentrop, made every conceivable diplomatic effort to placate England, Hitler finally resorting to sending his deputy Rudolf Hess as a last-ditch effort for peace in the West. When Hess arrived in Britain in May 1941, Churchill refused to see him. Hess was locked up for the rest of the war and the rest of his life. Failing to die naturally, he was murdered by a British assassin in his cell in 1987 at Spandau Prison at the age of 92.
FDR WANTED WAR
Why would America enter the European war when no interests of the country
were remotely threatened? The simple answer is that the Roosevelt administration
was heavily laden with Jews, as has been documented by Elizabeth Dilling in
her books and newsletters of 1934 and later. And Roosevelt was guaranteed a third
and fourth term. Mrs. Dilling, a concert-level harpist, mother and socialite
in Chicago, traveled to Russia in 1931 to see the great Communist experiment
for herself. Deeply shocked by what she saw, and the conditions the
people had to endure, she dedicated her life to exposing Communism, especially
its influence in America. In 1936 she wrote The Roosevelt Red Record and Its Background, and in it listed
over 100 extreme liberals/Communists in the Roosevelt administration,
most of them Jewish. Numerous times Hitler warned Britain that entering the hostilities would bankrupt England and cost it its empire. Hitler regarded the British Empire, like the Catholic Church, as an element of world stability. His words were lost in the Jewish
cacophony for war. The Britons Oswald Moseley, John Amery, Arnold Leese and
others made similar arguments directly to the British people. Hitler’s far-seeing strategy was anathema to the
lords of England as well as to the powerful Rothschild-Jewish entity
that ruled the Bank of England and its separate enclave, the City of London, which
most definitely is not that big metropolis on the Thames River but another
entity entirely—the financial hub of the Rothschild world empire. Meanwhile, for the most
part, the American media was conditioning the public for war, to the extent of
telling gullible taxpayers to draw their window shades at night so as to not permit
light from the lights inside their houses to be seen and so guide Nazi bombers
to them. Yes, we had blackouts in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Fort Wayne was 4,000 miles from Germany, making a round
trip of 8,000 miles—a feat impossible for any airplane of the
day. But what citizen would bother to dispute the facts reported in
their daily paper? Would the “free press” lie so blatantly? A NATION OF SUCKERS Unfortunately, white Americans have a
messianic complex and publicists can easily manipulate them into spending billions
for crusades for everlasting peace if they support an internationalist foreign
policy, so profitable for the war makers. Who wants to be called an isolationist?
Thus, today we have troops in 135 countries around the globe interfering
in the domestic affairs of people who wish to be left alone. This is worse
than useless; it sows seeds of mistrust and hatred and manufactures terrorists
and more war. But it also feeds the profits of corporations that manufacture
tanks, guns, planes, ships and other war materiel. Bankers love war and debt
financing, and war pays the salaries of thousands of bureaucrats who work
in the Pentagon and offices around the globe.
There are at least 8,000 bureaucrats employed in the Pentagon. Many drive
200 miles each day to and from work. While the rest of America wallows in
unemployment and recession, the Washington, D.C. area is prosperous. War and debt mean prosperity for millions, no matter that our bipartisan foreign policy is programmed for defeat and national bankruptcy. ROOSEVELT’S MASTER PLAN FDR wanted a third and
then a fourth term, and he knew the only way this could be accomplished would
be to get America into war. As stated, with Churchill, he plotted exactly that. Tyler Kent, an American
citizen, was a code clerk stationed in London. He transmitted communications
between Churchill and Roosevelt and was very alarmed, seeing that the two were
plotting war. He kept copies, planning to give them to senators, such as Burton
K. Wheeler, who were leaders in the effort to keep America out of war. His
plan was discovered, and he was arrested by Churchill’s orders and
illegally kept in a British jail without trial for the duration of the
war. Nothing could be permitted to stand in the way of war. Knowing that Hitler had no intention of attacking the U.S.
or even England, Roosevelt adopted a devilish scheme: He would take “the
back door to war” (the title of Dr. Charles Callan Tansill’s
magnum opus) and get the Japanese to attack the U.S. Japan needed oil, and the closest was in the South Pacific.
FDR knew that was the pressure point to bend Japan to his will—to
leave no other option to Japan but to attack the United States. FDR’s scheme—with
which Churchill was totally familiar—worked. Roosevelt knew that the Japanese
would do almost anything to avoid war with the U.S. because American code
breakers were monitoring all of Japan’s secret communications between
Tokyo and their diplomats. Through its Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura, Prince
Konoye and Minister of Foreign Affairs Yosuke Matsuoka, Japan made every effort
to ensure friendly relations with the U.S.
FDR knew well in advance that the Japanese would attack Pearl Harbor, and he cheerfully sacrificed the lives of 3,000 men, four battleships and much more, including the reputations of Adm. Husband Kimmel and Gen. Walter Short, who
he criminally blamed for the attack, permitting his treason to go unknown
and unpunished. As Roosevelt said, Dec. 7, 1941 is indeed “a day which will live in
infamy”—Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s infamous treason. Roosevelt knew that the American people
were overwhelmingly opposed to war. His plan was not merely a contemptuous
repudiation of the electorate, but done with full knowledge that the
war would cost millions of American, German and other lives. But his unnatural
lust for a third term seized him. His partner in this crime was Winston Churchill, prime minister of Great Britain. In his sober moments, which were very few, Churchill was a master of words. Churchill loved war and killing for the sport of it. By 1938, when he was 64 years old, Churchill had so lived
beyond his means that his creditors prepared to foreclose on him. He was
faced with the prospect of the forced sale of his luxurious country estate,
Chartwell. At this hour of crisis a dark and mysterious figure entered Churchill’s life. He was Henry Strakosch, a multimillionaire Jew who had acquired a fortune speculating
in South African mining ventures after his family had migrated to that country
from eastern Austria. Strakosch stepped forward and advanced Churchill a loan of 150,000
pounds sterling just in time to save his estate from the auctioneer. In the
years that followed, Strakosch served as Churchill’s adviser and confidant
but miraculously managed to avoid the spotlight of publicity, which thenceforth
illuminated Churchill’s again-rising political career. It must be said that hard thought was never Churchill’s
forte because he was always either drunk or nearly so. Alcoholism was not
the only eccentric characteristic of this strange man, who would often greet
visitors stark naked. But Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were the warlords
of World War II, and to them must go the primary responsibility for the
results—the greatest disaster in the history of Europe and the white
race.
Every time he was told that German bombers were en route, and even though
he initiated the policy of bombing civilians, a policy Hitler abhorred, Churchill fled
London. The two leaders were both manifestly unfit for power.
FDR was sick in body and mind, and Churchill was a sot. British and American bombers carpeted German cities with
millions of explosives and incendiary bombs. They made little effort
to target railheads, factories, docks or military installations. They deliberately
killed millions of civilians. The flames of a burning Hamburg were a mile high.
According to David Irving, Dresden—an undefended art city—was totally
destroyed along with at least 18,375 inhabitants, mostly children, women,
and cripples, 16,130 were injured and 350,000 people made homeless; 35,000
were missing. No one knows how many of these were killed. Such mass murder (genocide) is supposedly outlawed by the
Geneva Convention, but that meant nothing to Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.
In one leaflet headlined Kill, Soviet propagandist Ilya Ehrenburg incited Soviet soldiers to treat Germans as subhuman. The final paragraph concludes: The Germans are not human beings. From now on the word
German means to us the most terrible oath. From now on the word German strikes
us to the quick. We shall not speak anymore. We shall not get excited. We
shall kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you
have wasted that day…
If you cannot kill your German with a bullet kill him with your bayonet. If there is calm
on your part of the front, or if you are waiting for the fighting, kill a German
in the meantime. If you leave a German alive, the German will hang a Russian and
rape a Russian woman. If you kill one German, kill another there is nothing
more amusing for us than a heap of German corpses. Do not count days, do not count
kilometers. Count only the number of Germans killed by you. Kill the German—that is your grandmother’s
request. Kill the German—that is your child’s prayer. Kill the German—that
is your motherland’s loud request. Do not miss. Kill. SUICIDE OF THE WEST The war that followed—as was World War I—must
be seen as a civil war in the West; 8.5 million American, British and
continental European troops were killed in WWI and 43 million in WWII. The civilian
count in WWI is about 13 million and 38 million in WWII. The dysgenic effect
of these needless wars is incalculable. Before birth control became feasible and
popular, losses like this would be made up naturally by the high birth rate. But
not today. Many millions of white children of the dead have never been born. Their absence has to a large extent been made up by non-white immigrants into America and Europe, both legal and illegal, and the influx of nonwhites grows daily. No more is America a white, Aryan nation; in fact, today the dialog regarding immigration forbids the factor of race from even being mentioned in our Jewish-controlled media. The Marxist rule of political correctness is the norm.
Lenin, Stalin and the other (mostly Jewish) leaders in Communist Russia murdered
some 60 million Russians, particularly the pro-Western Aryan aristocracy,
symbolized by the Christian royal family of Czar Nicholas. Regardless
of persons like Tom Brokaw (who refers to WWII as “the good war,”
it was unnecessary, and all belligerents— Great Britain, America
and Russia included lost. American Francis Yockey pointed out that to win a war,
a power must gain resources, strength and prosperity. Since 1939, all three
major powers who started and fought it have declined into a pit of escalating
inflation, unpayable debt, national bankruptcy, loss of national character, the
immigration of millions of aliens and a highly questionable future. The mass killing of Germans and other
Europeans has paved the way for the legal and illegal immigration of not only
Muslims but black Africans, even to countries as far removed from Africa as Finland.
This has vastly increased the welfare budget and crime. European cities that
once were clean and orderly today are ridden with trash and derelicts. A former
resident of London reports that the streets resemble those in Nairobi, Kenya.
Manfred Roeder reports that the EU plans to bring to Europe some 60 million
more black Africans. Any plan to halt this torrent to Europe of this plague is attacked
by the media as “Hitlerism.” THE FUTURE To most Americans, war is an exciting game. They watch the suffering and the action safely on television, radio, newspapers and magazines with the “Tom Brokaws” exulting. But what do they profit?
Death, debt and the ever-tightening yoke of Jewish political and economic supremacy. Any sensible white person,
if aware at all of what is happening, has to acknowledge the truth. His race,
which is responsible for Western civilization, is on the defensive and retreating
before an army of racial and cultural aliens.
The racial crisis cannot be ignored further. Whites must brave the Bronx
cheers and profanity from liberals and Jews and face the problem
squarely or civilization is lost. The future for the U.S. seems clear: The McCarran-Walter immigration law has been repealed and no more are immigrants let into America mainly from Europe. Today, America is taking in millions of non-whites from everywhere, legal and illegal. These invaders have no cultural or racial compatibility with the Aryan whites who founded, civilized and developed this continent. Without racial and cultural homogeneity, there can be no rational government in any country, only efforts to arbitrate among groups until the inevitable anarchy. Is the future therefore hopeless? Is the white race doomed? Of course not, just the opposite. Today, whites are confronted with major difficulties, and that is good, not bad. The problems we have are a trumpet call to awaken. At last we have a challenge.
It is literally life or death for our kind. Political liberalism is a thing of the
past. Jewish influence is intolerable and must be quashed by whatever means.
We mean to survive and that means only this: Unconditional defeat for our
enemies and unconditional victory for the next phase of white aggrandizement. BIBLIOGRAPHY APP, DR. AUSTIN: History’s Most Terrifying Peace, 1946.

According to our mainstream history books, “the Good Guys”
banded together to stop the worst scourge in global history. There is just one problem with this official version of the history-changing
event known as World War II. It’s a lie!
So, how much do we really know about that crucial event and the
decades of complex European history preceding it? Why, and for whom, were the 20th century’s worldwide wars actually
waged? ____________________________________________
Roosevelt Conspired
to Start World War II in Europe
We Elected Their Nemesis ... But He Was Ours
Establishment
historians claim that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt never wanted war and made every reasonable effort to prevent war. This article will show that contrary to what
establishment historians claim, Franklin Roosevelt and his
administration wanted war and made every effort to instigate World War II in Europe. THE SECRET POLISH DOCUMENTS The Germans seized a mass of documents from the Polish Ministry of Foreign
Affairs when they invaded Warsaw in late September 1939. The documents
were seized when a German SS brigade led by Freiherr von Kuensberg captured the center of Warsaw ahead of the regular German army. Von Kuensberg’s men took control of the Polish Foreign
Ministry just as Ministry officials were in the process of burning
incriminating documents. These documents clearly establish Roosevelt’s crucial role in planning and instigating World War II. They also reveal the forces behind President Roosevelt
that pushed for war.[1] Some of the secret Polish
documents were first published in the United States as The German White Paper. Probably the most-revealing document in the collection is a secret report dated January 12, 1939 by Jerzy Potocki,
the Polish ambassador to the United States. This report discusses the
domestic situation in the United States. I quote (a translation of) Ambassador
Potocki’s report in full:
There is a feeling now prevalent in the United States marked by growing hatred of Fascism, and
above all of Chancellor Hitler and everything connected with National Socialism. Propaganda
is mostly in the hands of the Jews who control almost 100% [of the] radio, film,
daily and periodical press. Although this propaganda is extremely coarse and presents Germany
as black as possible--above all religious persecution and concentration camps are exploited--this propaganda is nevertheless extremely effective since the public here is completely ignorant and knows nothing of
the situation in Europe. At the present moment most Americans regard
Chancellor Hitler and National Socialism as the greatest evil and greatest peril threatening
the world. The situation here provides an excellent platform for public speakers of all kinds,
for emigrants from Germany and Czechoslovakia who with a great many words and with most various calumnies incite the public. They praise American liberty which they contrast with the totalitarian states.
It is interesting to note that in this extremely well-planned campaign which is conducted above
all against National Socialism, Soviet Russia is almost completely eliminated. Soviet
Russia, if mentioned at all, is mentioned in a friendly manner and things are presented
in such a way that it would seem that the Soviet Union were cooperating with the bloc of democratic
states. Thanks to the clever propaganda the sympathies of the American public are completely
on the side of Red Spain. This propaganda, this war psychosis is being
artificially created. The American people are told that peace in Europe is hanging
only by a thread and that war is inevitable. At the same time the American people are unequivocally told that in case of a world war, America also must take an active part in order to defend the slogans
of liberty and democracy in the world. President Roosevelt was the first one to express
hatred against Fascism. In doing so he was serving a double purpose; first he wanted
to divert the attention of the American people from difficult and intricate domestic problems,
especially from the problem of the struggle between capital and labor. Second, by creating
a war psychosis and by spreading rumors concerning dangers threatening Europe, he wanted to induce the American people to accept an enormous armament program which far exceeds United States defense requirements.
Regarding the first point, it must be said that the internal situation on the labor market
is growing worse constantly. The unemployed today already number 12 million. Federal
and state expenditures are increasing daily. Only the huge sums, running into billions, which
the treasury expends for emergency labor projects, are keeping a certain amount of
peace in the country. Thus far only the usual strikes and local unrest have taken place. But how long this government aid can be kept up it is difficult to predict today. The excitement and indignation of public opinion,
and the serious conflict between private enterprises and enormous trusts on the one
hand, and with labor on the other, have made many enemies for Roosevelt and are causing him
many sleepless nights. As to point two, I can only say that President
Roosevelt, as a clever player of politics and a connoisseur of American mentality,
speedily steered public attention away from the domestic situation in order to fasten it on foreign policy. The way to achieve this was simple. One needed, on the one hand, to enhance the war menace overhanging
the world on account of Chancellor Hitler, and, on the other hand, to create a specter by
talking about the attack of the totalitarian states on the United States. The Munich
pact came to President Roosevelt as a godsend. He described it as the capitulation
of France and England to bellicose German militarism. As was said here: Hitler compelled
Chamberlain at pistol-point. Hence, France and England had no choice and had to conclude a shameful peace.
The prevalent hatred against everything which is in any way connected with German National Socialism
is further kindled by the brutal attitude against the Jews in Germany and by the émigré
problem. In this action Jewish intellectuals participated; for instance, Bernard Baruch;
the Governor of New York State, Lehman; the newly appointed judge of the Supreme Court,
Felix Frankfurter; Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, and others who are personal friends
of Roosevelt. They want the President to become the champion of human rights, freedom of religion and speech, and the man who in the future will punish trouble-mongers. These groups, people who want to pose as representatives
of “Americanism” and “defenders of democracy” in the last analysis,
are connected by unbreakable ties with international Jewry. For this
Jewish international, which above all is concerned with the interests of its race, to put the President of the
United States at this “ideal” post of champion of human rights, was a clever move.
In this manner they created a dangerous hotbed for hatred and hostility in this hemisphere
and divided the world into two hostile camps. The entire issue is worked out in a mysterious
manner. Roosevelt has been forcing the foundation for vitalizing American foreign
policy, and simultaneously has been procuring enormous stocks for the coming war, for which the Jews are striving consciously. With regard to domestic policy, it is extremely convenient to divert public attention
from anti-Semitism which is ever growing in the United States, by talking about the
necessity of defending faith and individual liberty against the onslaught of Fascism.[2] On January 16, 1939,
Potocki reported to the Warsaw Foreign Ministry a conversation he had with American Ambassador to France William Bullitt. Bullitt was in Washington on a leave of absence from Paris. Potocki reported that Bullitt stated the main objectives of the Roosevelt
administration were:
1. The vitalizing foreign policy, under the leadership of President Roosevelt,
severely and unambiguously condemns totalitarian countries. 2.
The United States preparation for war on sea, land and air which will be carried out
at an accelerated speed and will consume the colossal sum of $1,250 million. 3. It is the decided opinion of the President that France and Britain must put [an] end to any
sort of compromise with the totalitarian countries. They must not let themselves in for any
discussions aiming at any kind of territorial changes. 4. They
have the moral assurance that the United States will leave the policy of isolation and be prepared to intervene actively on the side of Britain and France in case of war. America is ready to place its whole wealth of money and raw materials at their disposal.”[3] Juliusz (Jules) Łukasiewicz,
the Polish ambassador to France, sent a top-secret report from Paris to the Polish Foreign Ministry at the beginning of February 1939. This report outlined the U.S. policy toward Europe as explained to him by William Bullitt: A week ago, the Ambassador of the United States, W.
Bullitt, returned to Paris after having spent three months holiday in America. Meanwhile,
I had two conversations with him which enable me to inform Monsieur Minister on his
views regarding the European situation and to give a survey of Washington’s policy….
The international situation is regarded by official quarters as extremely serious and being
in danger of armed conflict. Competent quarters are of the opinion that if war should break
out between Britain and France on the one hand and Germany and Italy on the other,
and Britain and France should be defeated, the Germans would become dangerous to the
realistic interests of the United States on the American continent. For this reason,
one can foresee right from the beginning the participation of the United States in the war on the side of France and Britain, naturally after some time had elapsed after the beginning of the war. Ambassador Bullitt
expressed this as follows: “Should war break out we shall certainly not take
part in it at the beginning, but we shall end it.”[4] On March 7, 1939,
Ambassador Potocki sent another remarkably perceptive report on Roosevelt’s
foreign policy to the Polish government. I quote Potocki’s report in full: The foreign policy of the United States right
now concerns not only the government, but the entire American public as well. The
most important elements are the public statements of President Roosevelt. In almost every
public speech he refers more or less explicitly to the necessity of activating foreign policy against the chaos of views and ideologies in Europe. These statements are picked up by the press and then cleverly filtered
into the minds of average Americans in such a way as to strengthen their already formed
opinions. The same theme is constantly repeated, namely, the danger of war in Europe
and saving the democracies from inundation by enemy fascism. In all of these public statements
there is normally only a single theme, that is, the danger from Nazism and Nazi Germany
to world peace. As a result of these speeches, the public is called upon
to support rearmament and the spending of enormous sums for the navy and the air
force. The unmistakable idea behind this is that in case of an armed conflict the United States
cannot stay out but must take an active part in the maneuvers. As a result of the effective speeches of President Roosevelt, which are supported by the press, the American public is today being conscientiously
manipulated to hate everything that smacks of totalitarianism and fascism. But it is
interesting that the USSR is not included in all of this. The American public considers
Russia more in the camp of the democratic states. This was also the case during the
Spanish civil war when the so-called Loyalists were regarded as defenders of the democratic idea.
The State Department operates without attracting a great deal of attention, although it is
known that Secretary of State [Cordell] Hull and President Roosevelt swear allegiance
to the same ideas. However, Hull shows more reserve than Roosevelt, and he loves to make a
distinction between Nazism and Chancellor Hitler on the one hand, and the German
people on the other. He considers this form of dictatorial government a temporary “necessary evil.” In contrast, the State Department is unbelievably interested in the USSR and its internal situation
and openly worries itself over its weaknesses and decline. The main reason for the United
States interest in the Russians is the situation in the Far East. The current government
would be glad to see the Red Army emerge as the victor in a conflict with Japan. That’s
why the sympathies of the government are clearly on the side of China, which recently
received considerable financial aid amounting to 25 million dollars. Eager attention
is given to all information from the diplomatic posts as well as to the special emissaries of the President who serve as ambassadors of the United States. The President frequently calls his representatives from abroad to Washington for personal exchanges of views and to give them special information and instructions.
The arrival of the envoys and ambassadors is always shrouded in secrecy and very
little surfaces in the press about the results of their visits. The State Department
also takes care to avoid giving out any kind of information about the course of these interviews.
The practical way in which the President makes foreign policy is most effective. He gives personal instructions to his representatives abroad, most of whom are his personal friends. In this way
the United States is led down a dangerous path in world politics with the explicit
intention of abandoning the comfortable policy of isolation. The President regards the foreign
policy of his country as a means of satisfying his own personal ambition. He listens
carefully and happily to his echo in the other capitals of the world. In domestic as well as foreign policy, the
Congress of the United States is the only object that stands in the way of the President
and his government in carrying out his decisions quickly and ambitiously. One hundred and fifty
years ago, the Constitution of the United States gave the highest prerogatives to
the American parliament which may criticize or reject the law of the White House.
The foreign policy of President Roosevelt has recently been the subject of intense discussion
in the lower house and in the Senate, and this has caused excitement. The so-called
Isolationists, of whom there are many in both houses, have come out strongly against the President.
The representatives and the senators were especially upset over the remarks of the
President, which were published in the press, in which he said that the borders of the United States lie on the Rhine. But President Roosevelt is a superb political player and understands completely
the power of the American parliament. He has his own people there, and he knows how to withdraw from an uncomfortable situation at the right moment. Very intelligently and cleverly he ties together the question of foreign policy with the issues of American
rearmament. He particularly stresses the necessity of spending enormous sums in order
to maintain a defensive peace. He says specifically that the United States is not arming in
order to intervene or to go to the aid of England or France in case of war, but because
of the need to show strength and military preparedness in case of an armed conflict
in Europe. In his view this conflict is becoming ever more acute and is completely unavoidable.
Since the issue is presented this way, the houses of Congress have no cause to object. To the
contrary, the houses accepted an armament program of more than 1 billion dollars. (The normal
budget is 550 million, the emergency 552 million dollars). However, under the cloak
of a rearmament policy, President Roosevelt continues to push forward his foreign
policy, which unofficially shows the world that in case of war the United States will
come out on the side of the democratic states with all military and financial power. In conclusion it can be said that the technical and moral preparation of the American people for participation
in a war--if one should break out in Europe--is proceeding rapidly. It appears that
the United States will come to the aid of France and Great Britain with all its resources
right from the beginning. However, I know the American public and the representatives
and senators who all have the final word, and I am of the opinion that the possibility that America
will enter the war as in 1917 is not great. That’s because the majority of the states in the mid-West and
West, where the rural element predominates, want to avoid involvement in European disputes
at all costs. They remember the declaration of the Versailles Treaty and the well-known
phrase that the war was to save the world for democracy. Neither the Versailles Treaty nor
that slogan have reconciled the United States to that war. For millions there remains
only a bitter aftertaste because of unpaid billions which the European states still owe America.[5] These secret Polish
reports were written by top-level Polish ambassadors who were not necessarily friendly to Germany. However, they understood the realities of European politics far better than people
who made foreign policy in the United States. The Polish ambassadors
realized that behind all of their rhetoric about democracy and human rights, the Jewish leaders in the United States who agitated for war against Germany were deceptively advancing their own
interests. There is no question
that the secret documents taken from the Polish Foreign Ministry in Warsaw are authentic. Charles C. Tansill considered the documents genuine and stated, “Some months ago I had a long conversation
with M. Lipsky, the Polish ambassador in Berlin in the prewar years, and he
assured me that the documents in the German White Paper are
authentic.”[6] William H. Chamberlain wrote,
“I have been privately informed by an extremely reliable source that Potocki, now residing in South America, confirmed the accuracy of the documents, so far as he was concerned.”[7] Historian Harry Elmer Barnes also stated, “Both Professor Tansill and
myself have independently established the thorough authenticity of these
documents.”[8] Edward Raczyński, the
Polish ambassador to London from 1934 to 1945, confirmed in his diary the authenticity of the Polish documents. He wrote in his entry on June 20, 1940: “The Germans published in
April a White Book containing documents from the archives of our Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, consisting of reports from Potocki from Washington, Łukasiewicz in Paris and myself. I do not know where they found them, since we were told that the archives had been
destroyed. The documents are certainly genuine, and the facsimiles show
that for the most part the Germans got hold of the originals and not merely
copies.”[9] The official papers and memoirs
of Juliusz Łukasiewicz published in 1970 in the book Diplomat in Paris 1936-1939 reconfirmed the authenticity of the Polish documents. Łukasiewicz was the Polish ambassador to Paris,
who authored several of the secret Polish documents. The collection
was edited by Wacław Jędrzejewicz, a former Polish diplomat and cabinet
member. Jędrzejewicz considered the documents made public by the
Germans absolutely genuine, and quoted from several of them. Tyler G. Kent, who worked at the U.S. Embassy in London in 1939 and 1940, has also
confirmed the authenticity of the secret Polish documents. Kent says that he
saw copies of U.S. diplomatic messages in the files which corresponded
to the Polish documents. [10] The German Foreign Office
published the Polish documents on March 29, 1940. The Reich Ministry of Propaganda released the documents to strengthen the case of the American isolationists and to prove the degree
of America’s responsibility for the outbreak of war. In Berlin,
journalists from around the world were permitted to examine the original documents
themselves, along with a large number of other documents from the Polish Foreign Ministry. The release of the documents caused an international media sensation. American newspapers published lengthy excerpts from the documents and gave the story large front-page headline coverage.[11] However, the impact of the
released documents was far less than the German government had hoped for. Leading U.S. government officials emphatically denounced the documents as not being authentic. William
Bullitt, who was especially incriminated by the documents, stated,
“I have never made to anyone the statements attributed to me.” Secretary
of State Cordell Hull denounced the documents: “I may say most emphatically that neither I nor any of my
associates in the Department of State have ever heard of any such conversations
as those alleged, nor do we give them the slightest credence. The statements
alleged have not represented in any way at any time the thought or the
policy of the American government.”[12] American newspapers stressed these high-level denials in reporting the release
of the Polish documents. These
categorical denials by high-level U.S. government officials almost completely eliminated the effect of the secret
Polish documents. The vast majority of the American people in 1940 trusted
their elected political leaders to tell the truth. If the Polish documents
were in fact authentic and genuine, this would mean that President Roosevelt and his representatives had lied to the American public, while the German government told the truth. In 1940, this was far more than the trusting American public could accept. MORE EVIDENCE ROOSEVELT INSTIGATED WORLD WAR II While the secret Polish documents alone indicate that Roosevelt was
preparing the American public for war against Germany, a large amount
of complementary evidence confirms the conspiracy reported by the Polish ambassadors. The diary of James V. Forrestal, the first U.S. secretary of defense, also reveals that Roosevelt and his administration helped start World War II. Forrestal’s entry on December 27,
1945 stated: Played
golf today with Joe Kennedy [Roosevelt’s Ambassador to Great Britain in the years immediately before the war]. I asked him about his conversations with Roosevelt and Neville Chamberlain from 1938 on. He
said Chamberlain’s position in 1938 was that England had nothing with which
to fight and that she could not risk going to war with Hitler. Kennedy’s view: That
Hitler would have fought Russia without any later conflict with England if it had not
been for Bullitt’s urging on Roosevelt in the summer of 1939 that the Germans must be faced down about Poland; neither the French nor the British would have made Poland a cause of war if it had not
been for the constant needling from Washington. Bullitt, he said, kept telling Roosevelt that
the Germans wouldn’t fight; Kennedy that they would, and that they would overrun
Europe. Chamberlain, he says, stated that America and the world Jews had forced England
into the war. In his telephone conversations with Roosevelt in the summer of 1939
the President kept telling him to put some iron up Chamberlain’s backside. Kennedy’s response always was that putting iron up his backside did no good unless the British had some iron with which to fight, and they
did not…. What Kennedy told me in this conversation jibes substantially
with the remarks Clarence Dillon had made to me already, to the general effect that
Roosevelt had asked him in some manner to communicate privately with the British to
the end that Chamberlain should have greater firmness in his dealings with Germany. Dillon told
me that at Roosevelt’s request he had talked with Lord Lothian in the same general sense as Kennedy reported
Roosevelt having urged him to do with Chamberlain. Lothian presumably was to communicate to Chamberlain the gist of his conversation with Dillon. Looking backward there is undoubtedly foundation for Kennedy’s belief that Hitler’s
attack could have been deflected to Russia….”[13] Joseph Kennedy is known
to have had a good memory, and it is highly likely that Kennedy’s statements to James Forrestal are accurate. Forrestal died on May 22, 1949 under suspicious circumstances when he fell from
his hospital window. Sir Ronald
Lindsay, the British ambassador to Washington, confirmed Roosevelt’s secret policy to instigate war against Germany with the release of a confidential diplomatic report after the war. The report
described a secret meeting on September 18, 1938 between Roosevelt
and Ambassador Lindsay. Roosevelt said that if Britain and France were
forced into a war against Germany, the United States would ultimately join the war. Roosevelt’s idea to start a war was for Britain and France to impose a blockade against Germany without actually
declaring war. The important point was to call it a defensive war based
on lofty humanitarian grounds and on the desire to wage hostilities with a
minimum of suffering and the least possible loss of life and property. The blockade would provoke some kind of German military response, but would free Britain and France from having to declare
war. Roosevelt believed he could then convince the American public
to support war against Germany, including shipments of weapons to Britain and
France, by insisting that the United States was still neutral in a non-declared conflict.[14] President Roosevelt told
Ambassador Lindsay that if news of their conversation was ever made public, it could mean Roosevelt’s impeachment. What Roosevelt proposed to Lindsay was in effect a scheme to violate
the U.S. Constitution by illegally starting a war. For this and other
reasons, Ambassador Lindsay stated that during his three years of service
in Washington he developed little regard for America’s leaders.[15] Ambassador Lindsay in a series
of final reports also indicated that Roosevelt was delighted at the prospect of a new world war. Roosevelt promised Lindsay that he would delay German ships under false pretenses in a feigned
search for arms. This would allow the German ships to be easily seized
by the British under circumstances arranged with exactitude between the American
and British authorities. Lindsay reported that Roosevelt “spoke in a tone of almost impish glee and though I may be wrong the whole business gave me the impression of resembling a school-boy
prank.” Ambassador Lindsay
was personally perturbed that the president of the United States could be gay and joyful about a pending tragedy which seemed so destructive of the hopes of all mankind. It was unfortunate at this
important juncture that the United States had a president whose emotions
and ideas were regarded by a friendly British ambassador as being childish.[16] Roosevelt’s desire
to support France and England in a war against Germany is discussed in a letter from Verne Marshall, former editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, to Charles C. Tansill. The letter
stated: President
Roosevelt wrote a note to William Bullitt [in the summer of 1939], then Ambassador to France, directing him to advise the French Government that if, in the event of a Nazi attack upon Poland, France and England
did not go to Poland’s aid, those countries could expect no help from America if a general
war developed. On the other hand, if France and England immediately declared war on
Germany, they could expect “all aid” from the United States. F.D.R.’s
instructions to Bullitt were to send this word along to “Joe” and “Tony,” meaning Ambassadors
Kennedy, in London, and Biddle, in Warsaw, respectively. F.D.R. wanted Daladier, Chamberlain
and Josef Beck to know of these instructions to Bullitt. Bullitt merely sent his note
from F.D.R. to Kennedy in the diplomatic pouch from Paris. Kennedy followed Bullitt’s
idea and forwarded it to Biddle. When the Nazis grabbed Warsaw and Beck disappeared,
they must have come into possession of the F.D.R. note. The man who wrote the report
I sent you saw it in Berlin in October, 1939.[17] William Phillips, the
American ambassador to Italy, also stated in his postwar memoirs that the Roosevelt administration in late 1938 was committed to going to war on the side of Britain and France. Phillips
wrote: “On this and many other occasions, I would have liked
to have told him [Count Ciano, the Italian Foreign Minister] frankly that in the event of a European war, the United States would undoubtedly be involved on the side of the Allies. But in view
of my official position, I could not properly make such a statement
without instructions from Washington, and these I never received.”[18] When Anthony Eden returned
to England in December 1938, he carried with him an assurance from President Roosevelt that the United States would enter as soon as practicable a European war against Hitler if the occasion
arose. This information was obtained by Senator William Borah of Idaho,
who was contemplating how and when to give out this information, when he dropped
dead in his bathroom. The story was confirmed to historian Harry Elmer
Barnes by some of Senator Borah’s closest colleagues at the time.[19] The American
ambassador to Poland, Anthony Drexel Biddle, was an ideological colleague of President Roosevelt and a good friend of William Bullitt. Roosevelt used Biddle to influence the Polish
government to refuse to enter into negotiations with Germany. Carl J. Burckhardt,
the League of Nations High Commissioner to Danzig, reported in his
postwar memoirs on a memorable conversation he had with Biddle. On December 2, 1938, Biddle told Burckhardt with remarkable satisfaction that the Poles were ready to wage war over Danzig. Biddle
predicted that in April a new crisis would develop, and that moderate British
and French leaders would be influenced by public opinion to support
war. Biddle predicted a holy war against Germany would break out.[20] Bernard Baruch, who was Roosevelt’s
chief advisor, scoffed at a statement made on March 10, 1939 by Neville Chamberlain that “the outlook in international affairs is tranquil.” Baruch agreed passionately with
Winston Churchill, who had told him: “War is coming very soon.
We will be in it and you [the United States] will be in it.”[21] Georges
Bonnet, the French foreign minister in 1939, also confirmed the role of William Bullitt as Roosevelt’s agent
in pushing France into war. In a letter to Hamilton Fish dated March
26, 1971, Bonnet wrote, “One thing is certain is that Bullitt
in 1939 did everything he could to make France enter the war.”[22] Dr. Edvard Beneš,
the former president of Czechoslovakia, wrote in his memoirs that he had a lengthy secret conversation at Hyde Park with President Roosevelt on May 28, 1939. Roosevelt assured Beneš
that the United States would actively intervene on the side of Great
Britain and France against Germany in the anticipated European war.[23] American newspaper columnist
Karl von Wiegand, who was the chief European newspaper columnist of the International News Service, met with Ambassador William Bullitt at the U.S. embassy in Paris on April 25, 1939. More
than four months before the outbreak of war, Bullitt told Wiegand: “War
in Europe has been decided upon. Poland has the assurance of the support of
Britain and France, and will yield to no demands from Germany. America will be in the war soon after Britain and France enter it.”[24] When Wiegand said that in the end Germany would be driven into the arms of
Soviet Russia and Bolshevism, Ambassador Bullitt replied: “What of it. There will not be enough Germans left when the war is over to be worth Bolshevizing.”[25] On March 14, 1939, Slovakia dissolved the state of Czechoslovakia by declaring itself an independent republic.
Czechoslovakian President Emil Hácha signed a formal agreement
the next day with Hitler establishing a German protectorate over Bohemia
and Moravia, which constituted the Czech portion of the previous entity. The British government initially accepted the new situation, reasoning that Britain’s guarantee of Czechoslovakia given
after Munich was rendered void by the internal collapse of that state.
It soon became evident after the proclamation of the Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia
that the new regime enjoyed considerable popularity among the people living
in it. Also, the danger of a war between the Czechs and the Slovaks had been averted.[26] However, Bullitt’s
response to the creation of the German protectorate over Bohemia and Moravia was highly unfavorable. Bullitt telephoned Roosevelt and, in an “almost hysterical” voice, Bullitt urged
Roosevelt to make a dramatic denunciation of Germany and to immediately
ask Congress to repeal the Neutrality Act.[27] Washington journalists Drew
Pearson and Robert S. Allen reported in their nationally syndicated column that on March 16, 1939, President Roosevelt “sent a virtual ultimatum to Chamberlain” demanding that
the British government strongly oppose Germany. Pearson and Allen reported
that “the President warned that Britain could expect no more support,
moral or material through the sale of airplanes, if the Munich policy continued.”[28] Responding to Roosevelt’s
pressure, the next day Chamberlain ended Britain’s policy of cooperation with Germany when he made a speech at Birmingham bitterly denouncing Hitler. Chamberlain also announced the end of
the British “appeasement” policy, stating that from now on
Britain would oppose any further territorial moves by Hitler. Two weeks later
the British government formally committed itself to war in case of German-Polish hostilities. Roosevelt also attempted to arm Poland so that Poland would be more willing
to go to war against Germany. Ambassador Bullitt reported from Paris
in a confidential telegram to Washington on April 9, 1939, his conversation with Polish Ambassador Łukasiewicz. Bullitt told Łukasiewicz that although U.S. law prohibited direct financial
aid to Poland, the Roosevelt administration might be able to supply
warplanes to Poland indirectly through Britain. Bullitt stated: “The
Polish ambassador asked me if it might not be possible for Poland to obtain financial help and airplanes from
the United States. I replied that I believed the Johnson Act would forbid any
loans from the United States to Poland, but added that it might be possible
for England to purchase planes for cash in the United States and turn them over
to Poland.”[29] Bullitt also attempted to
bypass the Neutrality Act and supply France with airplanes. A secret conference of Ambassador Bullitt with French Premier Daladier and the French minister of aviation, Guy La Chambre,
discussed the procurement of airplanes from America for France. Bullitt,
who was in frequent telephonic conversation with Roosevelt, suggested a means
by which the Neutrality Act could be circumvented in the event of war. Bullitt’s suggestion was to set up assembly plants in Canada, apparently on the assumption that Canada would not
be a formal belligerent in the war. Bullitt also arranged for a secret French
mission to come to the United States and purchase airplanes in the
winter of 1938-1939. The secret purchase of American airplanes by the
French leaked out when a French aviator crashed on the West Coast.[30] On August 23, 1939, Sir Horace
Wilson, Chamberlain’s closest advisor, went to American Ambassador Joseph Kennedy with an urgent appeal from Chamberlain to President Roosevelt. Regretting that Britain had unequivocally
obligated itself to Poland in case of war, Chamberlain now turned to
Roosevelt as a last hope for peace. Kennedy telephoned the State Department
and stated: “The British want one thing from us and one thing only, namely that we put pressure on the Poles. They felt that they could not, given their obligations, do anything of
this sort but that we could.” Presented with a possibility to save the peace in Europe, President Roosevelt rejected Chamberlain’s
desperate plea out of hand. With Roosevelt’s rejection, Kennedy reported,
British Prime Minister Chamberlain lost all hope. Chamberlain stated:
“The futility of it all is the thing that is frightful. After all, we cannot save the Poles. We can merely carry on a war of revenge that will mean the destruction of all Europe.”[31] Conclusion U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and his advisers played
a crucial role in planning and instigating World War II. This
is proven by the secret Polish documents as well as numerous statements from highly positioned, well-known and authoritative Allied leaders who corroborate the contents of the Polish
documents. ENDNOTES [2] Count Jerzy Potocki to Polish Foreign Minister in Warsaw, The German White Paper: Full Text of the Polish Documents Issued by the Berlin Foreign Office; with a foreword by C. Hartley Grattan, New York:

Web of Deceit: The Jewish Puppet Masters Behind World War II By
JASON COLLETT
Edited by Lasha Darkmoon
CHURCHILL, ROOSEVELT, STALIN
(1945)
It was these three powerful individuals, the winners of WWII, who decided
to carve up the world between them by manufacturing pretexts
for a catastrophic world war that would claim 60-80 million
lives, roughly 3 per cent of the world’s population, and reduce
Germany to a wasteland of rubble. Behind them, lurking in the shadows, stood
their Jewish Puppet Masters, egging them on and telling them exactly what they had to do. Here are the highly toxic and politically incorrect views of four
key diplomats who were close to the events leading up to World War II. Ponder
them carefully and ask yourselves: Could they all have been mistaken? Joseph P. Kennedy, US Ambassador to Britain during the years immediately
preceding World War II, was the father of the famous American Kennedy dynasty.
James Forrestal, the first US Secretary of Defense (1947-1949), quotes him as
saying “Chamberlain [the British Prime Minister] stated that America
and the world Jews had forced England into the war.” (The Forrestal Diaries, Cassell 1952, p.129). Count Jerzy Potocki, the Polish Ambassador in
Washington, in a report to the Polish Foreign Office in January 1939, is quoted
approvingly by the highly respected British military historian Major-General
JFC Fuller. Concerning public opinion in America, Count Potocki says: Above all, propaganda here
is entirely in Jewish hands. Their propaganda is so effective
that people have no real knowledge of the true state of affairs in Europe. It is interesting to observe that in this carefully thought-out
campaign no reference at all is made to Soviet Russia. If that
country is mentioned, it is referred to in a friendly manner
and people are given the impression that Soviet Russia is part of the
democratic group of countries. Jewry
was able not only to establish a dangerous centre in the New World for the
dissemination of hatred and enmity, but it also succeeded in dividing the world into two warlike camps. President Roosevelt has been given the power to create huge reserves in armaments for a future war which the Jews are deliberately heading for.”
— JFC Fuller, The Decisive Battles of the Western World, vol 3, pp
372-374. Hugh Wilson, the American Ambassador in Berlin until 1938, the year before the war broke out, found anti-Semitism in Germany “understandable.” This was because before the advent of the Nazis “the stage, the press, medicine and law were crowded with Jews. Among the few
with money to splurge, a high proportion were Jews. The leaders of the Bolshevist
movement in Russia, a movement desperately feared in Germany, were Jews. One
could feel the spreading resentment and hatred.” — Hugh Wilson, American diplomat, quoted in Leonard Mosley, Lindbergh, Hodder, 1976. Sir Nevile Henderson, British Ambassador in Berlin
“said further that the hostile attitude [toward Germany] in Great Britain
was the work of Jews, which was what Hitler thought himself.” (AJP Taylor, The
Origins of the Second World War, Penguin 1987, p. 324). “One could feel the spreading resentment and hatred.” — Hugh Wilson, American ambassador
in Berlin, c.1938 Is this negative attitude toward international Jewry attributable to a groundless antisemitism—to a hatred of Jews for no valid or justifiable reason? A knowledge of the economic background to the war is necessary for a fuller understanding of this complex question. At the end of the
First World War, Germany was essentially tricked into paying massive reparations
to France and other economic competitors and former belligerent countries by
the terms of the iniquitous Treaty of Versailles, thanks to the meddling of liberal American
President Woodrow Wilson, himself acting under Jewish advice. [See Paul Johnson, A History of the Modern World (1983), p.24; and H. Nicholson, Peacemaking, 1919
(1933), pp. 13-16] Germany was declared to be solely responsible for the Great War of 1914-1918 in spite of the fact that “Germany did not plot a European war, did not want one, and made genuine efforts, though too belated, to avert one.” (Professor Sydney B. Fay, The Origins of the World War (Vol.
2, p. 552). As a result of these massive enforced financial reparations made by the Versailles Treaty, by 1923 the situation in Germany became desperate. Inflation on an astronomical scale became the only way out for the government. Printing presses were engaged to print money around the clock. (See this picture). In 1921 the exchange rate was 75 marks to the dollar; by 1924, it
had become roughly 5 trillion marks to the dollar. This virtually destroyed
the German middle classes, reducing any bank savings to a virtual zero. (See
Arthur Koestler, The God that Failed, p. 28). According to distinguished British historian Sir Arthur Bryant: It was the Jews with their international affiliations
and their hereditary flair for finance who were best able to seize such opportunities. They
did so with such effect that, even in November 1938, after five years of anti-Semitic legislation
and persecution, they still owned, according to the Times correspondent in Berlin, something
like A THIRD OF THE PROPERTY IN THE REICH. Most of it came into their hands
during the hyperinflation. To those who had lost their all, this bewildering transfer
seemed a monstrous injustice. After prolonged sufferings THEY HAD NOW BEEN
DEPRIVED OF THEIR LAST POSSESSIONS. THEY SAW THEM PASS INTO THE HANDS OF STRANGERS,
many of whom had not shared their sacrifices and WHO CARED
LITTLE OR NOTHING FOR THEIR NATIONAL STANDARDS AND TRADITIONS.
The Jews obtained a wonderful ascendancy in politics, business and the learned professions
in spite of constituting LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION. The
banks, including the Reichsbank and the big private banks, were practically controlled by them.
So were the publishing trade, the cinema, the theatres and a large part of the press—all
the normal means, in fact, by which public opinion in a civilized country is formed. The largest
newspaper combine in the country, with a daily circulation of four millions, was a Jewish monopoly.
EVERY YEAR IT BECAME HARDER AND HARDER FOR A GENTILE TO
GAIN OR KEEP A FOOTHOLD IN ANY PRIVILEGED OCCUPATION. At this time it was
not the ‘Aryans’ who exercised racial discrimination. It was a discrimination that
operated without violence. It was exercised by a minority against a majority. There was no
persecution, only elimination. It was the contrast between the wealth enjoyed—and
lavishly displayed—by aliens of cosmopolitan tastes, and the poverty and misery of native
Germans, that has made anti-Semitism so dangerous and ugly a force in the new Europe.
Beggars on horseback are seldom popular, least of all with those whom they have just thrown out of the saddle.
— Sir Arthur Bryant, Unfinished Victory, 1940 pp. 136-144, emphasis added.
The caption to a famous anti-Semitic German cartoon headed sarcastically
“The Land of Freedom”, referring to Germany under the Jewish heel,
has a caption in German that translates as: “When one is ruled by the Jews,
freedom is only an empty dream.” (See the 1939 cartoon here). — § — Strangely enough, a book unexpectedly published
by Princeton University Press in 1984, Sarah Gordon’s Hitler, Germans
and the “Jewish Question”, essentially confirms what Sir Arthur
Bryant says above. Sarah Gordon, incidentally, is Jewish, so this is a rare example
of a Jew actually admitting that anti-Semitism could have a rational basis: “Jews were never a large percentage of the total German population;
at no time did they exceed 1% of the population during the years 1871-1933.
Jews were over-represented in business, commerce, and public and private service. They were especially visible in private banking in Berlin, which in 1923 had 150 private Jewish banks, as opposed to only 11 private non-Jewish banks. They owned 41% of iron and scrap iron firms and 57% of other metal
businesses. Jews were very active in the stock market, particularly in Berlin, where
in 1928 they comprised 80% of the leading members of the stock exchange. By
1933, when the Nazis began eliminating Jews from prominent positions, 85% of
the brokers on the Berlin Stock exchange were dismissed because of their “race”.
At least a quarter of full professors and instructors at German universities
had Jewish origins. In 1905-6 Jewish students comprised 25% of the law and
medical students. In 1931, 50% of the 234 theatre directors in Germany were
Jewish, and in Berlin the number was 80%. In 1929 it was estimated that the
per capita income of Jews in Berlin was twice that of other Berlin residents.”
Arthur Koestler, also Jewish, confirms
the Jewish over-involvement in German publishing: “Ullstein’s was a kind of super-trust; the largest organization of its kind in Europe, and probably in the world. They published four daily papers in Berlin alone, among these the
venerable Vossische Zeitung, founded in the eighteenth century, and the BZ am Mittag,
an evening paper. Apart from these, Ullstein’s published more than a dozen weekly and
monthly periodicals, ran their own news service, their own travel agency, and were one of the
leading book publishers. The firm was owned by the brothers Ullstein: they were five, like the
original Rothschild brothers, and like them also, they were Jews.” — The
God that Failed (1950), ed. R.H.S. Crossman, p. 31.
Edgar Mowrer, Berlin correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, wrote an anti-German
tract called “Germany Puts the Clock Back”, published as a Penguin
Special and reprinted five times between December 1937 and April 1938. He notes
alarmingly: “In the
all-important administration of Prussia, any number of strategic positions came
into the hands of Hebrews. A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
BETWEEN THREE JEWS IN MINISTERIAL OFFICES COULD RESULT IN THE
SUSPENSION OF ANY PERIODICAL OR NEWSPAPER IN THE STATE. The Jews came in Germany to play in politics and administration that same considerable part that they had previously won by open competition in business, trade, banking, the Press, the arts, the sciences and the intellectual and cultural life of the country. And thereby the impression was strengthened that Germany, a country with a mission of its own, had fallen into the hands of foreigners. No one who lived through the period from 1919 to 1926 is likely
to forget the sexual promiscuity that prevailed. Throughout
a town like Berlin, hotels and pensions made vast fortunes by
letting rooms by the hour or day to baggageless, unregistered
guests. Hundreds of cabarets, pleasure resorts and the like served for
purposes of getting acquainted and acquiring the proper mood.” (“Germany
Puts The Clock Back”, pp. 153-4, emphasis added) Sir Arthur Bryant, already quote above, describes throngs of child
prostitutes outside the doors of the great Berlin hotels and restaurants. He
adds “Most of them—the night clubs and vice resorts—were owned
and managed by Jews. And it was the Jews among the promoters of this trade who
were remembered in after years.” (pp. 144-5). † “Most of the night clubs and vice resorts were owned and managed by Jews.” — St Arthur Bryant, British historian. †
“It’s disgusting how the Jews are taking everything by storm. Even the Rome of Seutonius has never known such orgies as the
pervert balls of Berlin.” — Jewish German writer Stefan Zweig. † “The decay
of moral values in all areas of life—the period of deepest German
degradation—coincided exactly with the height of Jewish power in Germany.” — Dr Friedrich Karl Wiehe, German historian, in Germany and the Jewish Question. (Quotes

— § — Douglas
Reed, Chief Central European correspondent before WWII for the London Times,
was profoundly anti-German and anti-Hitler. But nevertheless he reported: “I watched the Brown Shirts going from shop to shop with paint pots and daubing on
the window panes the word “Jew” in dripping red letters. The Kurfürstendamm was to
me a revelation. I knew that Jews were prominent in business life, but I did not know that they
almost monopolized important branches of it. Germany had one Jew to one
hundred gentiles, said the statistics; but the fashionable Kurfürstendamm,
according to the dripping red l egends, had about one gentile shop to ninety-nine
Jewish ones. — Douglas Reed, Insanity Fair (1938) p. 152-3,
emphasis added.
In Reed’s
book Disgrace Abounding (1939), he notes: “In the Berlin (of the pre-Hitler years) most of the theatres were Jewish-owned or Jewish-leased,
most of the leading film and stage actors were Jews, the plays performed were often by German,
Austrian or Hungarian Jews and were staged by Jewish film producers, applauded by Jewish dramatic
critics in Jewish newspapers… The Jews are not cleverer than the Gentiles,
if by clever you mean good at their jobs. They ruthlessly exploit the common feeling of Jews,
first to get a foothold in a particular trade or calling, then to squeeze the non-Jews out
of it. It is not true that Jews are better journalists than Gentiles. They held all the posts
on those Berlin papers because the proprietors and editors were Jewish.”
(Douglas Reed, Disgrace Abounding, 1939, pp. 238-9).
Jewish writer Edwin Black gives a similar picture. “In Berlin
alone,” he states, “about 75 percent of the attorneys and nearly
as many of the doctors were Jewish.” (The Transfer Agreement (1984), p. 58) “I watched the Brown Shirts going from shop to shop with paint pots and daubing on the window panes the word JEW in dripping red letters.” — Douglas
Reed, 1938. Note that 99 out of 100 shops in the
High Street were owned by Jews, and yet Jews made up
less than one percent of the population.
To cap it all, Jews were perceived as dangerous enemies of Germany after Samuel
Untermeyer, the leader of the World Jewish Economic Federation, declared war
on Germany on August 6, 1933. (See Edwin Black, The Transfer Agreement:
the Untold Story of the Secret Pact between the Third Reich and Palestine (1984),
pp. 272-277). According to Black, “The one man who most embodied the potential
death blow to Germany was Samuel Untermeyer” (p. 369). This was the culmination of a worldwide boycott of German goods led
by international Jewish organizations. The London Daily Express on March 24, 1933 carried the headline “Judea
Declares War on Germany”. The boycott was particularly motivated
by the German imposition of the Nuremberg Laws, which ironically were similar
in intent and content to the Jewish cultural exclusivism practiced so visibly
in present-day Israel. At a single stroke, this headline disproves the lie that Germany initiated World War II. International Jewry is here clearly seen declaring war on Germany as early as 1933. It would take the Jews another six years to cajole their Anglo-American stooges to go to war on their behalf. Next time you hear anyone claim falsely that “Germany started World War Two”, send them a copy of this headline picture from The Daily Express, dated March 24, 1933: Hitler saw the tremendous danger posed to Germany by Communism. He
appreciated the desperate need to eliminate this threat, a fact that earned
him the immense hatred and animosity of the Jewish organisations and the media
and politicians of the west which they could influence. After all, according
to the Jewish writer Chaim Bermant, although Jews formed less than five percent
of Russia’s population, they formed more than fifty percent of its revolutionaries.
According to the Jewish writer Chaim Bermant in his book The Jews (1977, chapter 8): “It must be added that most of the leading
revolutionaries who convulsed Europe in the final decades of the last century
and the first decades of this one, stemmed from prosperous Jewish families..
They were perhaps typified by the father of revolution, Karl Marx. Thus when,
after the chaos of World War I, revolutions broke out all over Europe, Jews
were everywhere at the helm: Trotsky, Sverdlov, Kamenev and Zinoviev in Russia;
Bela Kun in Hungary; Kurt Eisner in Bavaria; and, most improbable of all, Rosa
Luxemburg in Berlin. To many outside observers, the Russian revolution
looked like a Jewish conspiracy, especially when it was followed by Jewish-led
revolutionary outbreaks in much of central Europe. The leadership of the Bolshevik
Party had a preponderance of Jews. Of the seven members of the Politburo, the
inner cabinet of the country, four, Trotsky (Bronstein), Zinoviev (Radomsky), Kamenev (Rosenfeld) and Sverdlov, were Jews.”
Other authors agree with this assessment , including Jewish historian Sarah Gordon, already cited once above: There has been a tendency to circumvent or simply ignore
the significant role of Jewish intellectuals in the German Communist Party, and thereby seriously
neglect one of the genuine and objective reasons for increased anti-Semitism during and after
World War 1…. The prominence of Jews in the revolution and early
Weimar Republic is indisputable, and this was a very serious contributing cause
for increased anti-Semitism in post-war years. It is clear then
that the stereotype of Jews as socialists and communists led many Germans to
distrust the Jewish minority as a whole and to brand Jews as enemies of the German nation.”
— Sarah Gordon, Hitler, Germans and the ‘Jewish Question’, Princeton University Press
(1984), p 23. (Emphasis added)
Martin
Bernal in Back Athena (vol 1), pp.367-387 reinforces the above: “The second paroxysm of strong anti-Semitism came
after the critical role of Jews in International Communism and the Russian Revolution and during
the economic crises of the 1920s and 30s. Anti-Semitism intensified throughout Europe and North America following the perceived and actual centrality of Jews in the Russian Revolution..
Such feelings were not restricted to Germany, or to vulgar extremists like the Nazis. All over
Northern Europe and North America, anti-Semitism became the norm in ‘nice society’,
and ‘nice society’ included the universities.”
Is it any wonder that Hitler, along with millions of others all over Europe, should join the growing ranks of the anti-Semites? It is clear that the Jews were almost universally hated, not because
they Jews, but because of their obnoxiously pushy behavior and the fact that
they were in the forefront of dangerous revolutionaries dedicated to the downfall
of their host countries. You cannot move into someone else’s house and
take it over and expect to be loved by your victims.
— § — Conclusion Hitler came to power in Germany with two main aims, the rectification
of the unjust provisions of the Versailles Treaty and the destruction of the
Soviet/ Communist threat to Germany. Strangely enough, contrary to the mythology
created by those who had an opposing ethnic agenda, he had no plans or desire
for a larger war of conquest. Professor AJP Taylor proved this in his book The
Origins of the Second World War, much to the annoyance of the professional
court historians. Taylor says: “The state of German armament in 1939 gives
the decisive proof that Hitler was not contemplating general war, and probably
not intending war at all” (p.267). And again: “Even in 1939 the German
army was not equipped for a prolonged war; in 1940 the German land forces were
inferior to the French in everything except leadership” (p. 104-5). British historian Basil Liddell Hart confirms this assessment. He
writes: “Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other way
around. Hitler wanted peace with Britain, as the German generals admitted. (Basil
Liddell Hart, The Other Side of the Hill, 1948, Pan Books 1983). David Irving wraps it all up in the foreword
to his book The Warpath (1978) where he refers to “the
discovery that at no time did this man (Hitler) pose or intend a real threat to Britain or the Empire.” I think all this
proves, beyond any shadow of doubt, that the chief aggressors in World War II were
the Anglo-Americans—as indeed they were arguably the chief aggressors in World
War I and most of the wars that have plagued the world during the 20th century
and up to the present time. As for the moneyed international Jews, these were demonstrably the Puppet Masters jerking the strings of the three great leaders of the Western World—Churchhill, Roosevelt and Stalin—who went to war at their behest and on their behalf. It is not without
significance that each of the legendary figures mentioned above has been accused
at some time or other of enjoying exceptionally strong Jewish connections. Of one thing we can be reasonably sure: whenever there is a major
new war or revolution being planned which requires heavy financial backing—the
Russian Revolution is a perfect example—the hidden hand of international
Jewry is almost certain to be behind it. Partout où il y a de
l’argent, il y a des Juifs, said Montesquieu. — “Wherever
there is money, there you will find the Jew.”
And wherever there is war, the most profitable money spinning
activity known to man, there also you are likely to find the Eternal Jew—Der Ewige Jude—counting his gold coins over a mound of corpses. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

to the edge of space, according to new research. Scientists
at the University of Reading in the UK have revealed
that shockwaves from huge bombs travelled through the Earth’s atmosphere. The bombing even weakened the Earth’s electrified upper atmosphere, the ionosphere, 1000 kilometres away. DEATH OF A CITY by historian Michael Walsh discloses dreadful accounts of what it was like to live and perish in an RAF firestorm. This information has been hidden from the public
since Britain’s unelected war lord Winston Churchill
rejected numerous German peace offers. 
Michael
Walsh says, victors’ spin claims the bombing campaign was initiated by the German side. However, J. M. Spaight, Principal Secretary to the Air Ministry disagrees: “Hitler
only undertook the bombing of British civilian targets
reluctantly three months after the RAF had commenced
bombing German civilian targets.” Another myth used to justify total destruction of great German cities was retaliation for their bombing of Coventry. By the morning of August 3, 1943, over 6,000 square acres of Hamburg had been gutted compared to just 100 acres in Coventry over the entire
course of the war, a city essential to Churchill’s
war campaign. 
During just 10 days 100,000 citizens
of Hamburg were put to the flame. For every one of the
380 persons who died in Coventry, again during the entire course of the war, no less than 300 Hamburg citizens died during that satanic week of senseless Allied carpet bombing. 
Many are the accounts of the
RAF bombing campaigns from the Allied perpetrators anaesthetised
by time and distance. But, what was it like to be in Hamburg during the RAF raids? An official German
document states: “For weeks afterwards eyewitnesses
were unable to report without succumbing to their nerves
and weeping hysterically. They would try to speak, then
would break down and cry: ‘I can’t stand seeing it again; I can’t stand it.” Many weeks
later, a woman who did survive was interviewed. She had still not recovered from the experience: “I saw people killed by falling bricks and heard the screams of others dying in the fire. I dragged my best friend from a burning building
and she died in my arms. I saw others who went stark
mad. The shock to the nerves and the soul, one can never erase.” The Police President of Hamburg reported: “Its
horror is revealed in the howling and raging of the
firestorms, the hellish noise of exploding bombs and the death cries of martyred human beings as well as the big silence after the raids. Speech is impotent to portray the measure
of the horror, which shook the people for ten days and
nights and the traces of which were written indelibly
on the face of the city and its inhabitants.
“No flight of imagination will ever succeed in measuring
and describing the gruesome scenes of horror in the
many buried air raid shelters. Posterity can only bow its head in honour of the fate of these innocents, sacrificed by the murderous lust of a sadistic enemy.” Martin Caidin
is one of the world’s leading authorities on military science subjects. The high-ranking U.S. Government official was an expert on bombing effects. He described the bombing of Hamburg as: “Standing out as the worst of the
disasters visited upon civilisation during the insanity
of the Second World War.” The air above Hamburg was the pure flame. Six square miles of Hamburg
was engulfed in the world’s greatest fire. Merely
looking at the blinding heat and light could terrorise
and destroy the mind. There were no longer individual blazes. The winds relentlessly fed the flames and were
sucked in at higher and higher speeds. Even out in the
suburbs, it was like no ordinary wind. Such winds as we all experience each day of our lives swirl in eddies and gusts. They blow this way at one corner and another way at the next corner. But these winds showed no variation in direction or
speed. The winds flowed into the city at a constant
speed. During the early stages, these winds had reached
forty and then fifty miles per hour. 
Ninety
minutes after the first bombs were dropped trees on the outskirts of the city were beginning to lose their leaves. It was as though some giant supernatural vacuum cleaner was plucking them. Small branches were snapped and street debris
was vacuumed up as though by some unseen hand. The rubbish
swirled away and bounced off the shells of buildings
but always sucked in one direction. Outside the city’s perimeter, tens of thousands of people gathered
to witness that which no man had witnessed before them.
A whole city had become a throbbing inferno of intense heat. Stunned onlookers gazed with their eyes transfixed as a column of flame a mile wide reached the inner limits of space. 
The winds reached supernatural
speeds and they were to soon exceed tornado or hurricane
velocities. The shrieking gales flattened flames. The tornadoes turned the city into one gigantic flame thrower or blow torch. Flames, many hundreds of feet long, were caught in the blast of wind. It seared through streets where thousands of people
still huddled in the open as they hid behind partly
demolished walls, cowering in alleys. These unfortunates
were incinerated. The martyr’s shrieks of terror and pain mingled and were lost in the screaming winds
and crackling firestorm. It will never be known how
many such people simply disappeared as though they had
never walked the earth. Not even a few charred bones marked their presence on earth. It is estimated that winds feeding the blazing city reached speeds as high as 150 miles per hour and perhaps more. Twice that of hurricane force winds and at such speeds,
some trees three feet in diameter, were sucked out of
the ground and hurled into the flames. 
During the RAF’s firestorm
of Hamburg, temperatures reached 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
At such temperatures, lead becomes a bubbling fluid as liquid as water. Balks of wood simply explode without necessarily coming in contact with flame; metal, rubber, and glass melts. Flames were hurled three miles into the sky and its gases reached as high again and more. It was a sight so spectacular and horrifying that the well-known effect of an atom-bomb
explosion becomes relatively lesser. As the fire’s
superheated gases boiled upwards, they passed through
a stratum of cold air high above the city. The debris in the soaring flames and smoke attracted moisture and caused a meteorological reaction. The natural elements combined to reject the debris which was transformed and fell to the earth once more in big greasy black rain blobs. 
This again raises the question,
were the Allied atrocities committed during World War II so
horrifyingly unique in world history that the myth of the Holocaust was invented for the Allies to hide their crimes behind. 
The Sinking of the 'Wilhelm Gustloff':
A Little-Known World War II Tragedy
... Many, however, have never heard of the sinking of MV (Motor Vessel) Wilhelm Gustloff,
which was torpedoed in the Baltic Sea
in 1945. Thousands more lives were lost than the Titanic -- including thousands of women and children ... The S-13 fired three torpedoes, all of which struck the
Gustloff. Panic ensued as the ship started
to list. Lifeboats were covered with ice and only a few were able to be launched. Many passengers were trapped below or already dead from the explosions. Those who
couldn't get in the few lifeboats and
rafts took their chances in the sea, where most died of exposure. The Wilhelm Gustloff slid beneath the surface less than 40 minutes after being struck.

are dwarfed by the sinkings of the Wilhelm Gustloff, the General Steuben and the Goya, three

The Hypocrisy of the Semitic WW2 Historical Narrative: “Good War . . . Better Peace" To help create an awakening upon the upcoming 70th Anniversary of the end of
the “Good War” and the beginning of the “Good
Peace,” Tom Goodrich personally offered the following from his book, Hellstorm—The Death of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947, and details from his next book, he hopes it will make you inspired
to stand against the historical lies made against our Germanic folk. And so, with the once mighty German Army now disarmed and enslaved in May, 1945, and with their leaders either dead or awaiting trial for so-called “war crimes,”
the old men, with the others remaining in Eisenhowers death camps.
Women and children who remained in the dismembered Reich found
themselves utterly at the mercy of the victors, motivated by the Jewish racist broadcasts of Ilya Ehrenburg. Unfortunately for these survivors, never in the history of the world was mercy and humanity in shorter supply and Semitic malice in over-supply. Soon after the Allied victory in Europe,
the purge of Nazi Party members from government, business, industry,
science, education, and all other walks of German life commenced (which also included all ordinary folk, who were replaced with the types of proto-multiculturalists who now form todays European governments). While a surprising number of Nazis were allowed—even
compelled—to man their posts temporarily to enable a smooth
transition, all party members, high and low, the actual ordinary
German folk, were sooner or later excised from German daily life. In theory, “de-Nazification” was a simple transplanting of Nazi officials with those of democratic, socialist
or communist underpinnings. In practice, the purge became little
more than a cloak for a vile, illegal enforcement of rape, torture and death, executed almost exclusively by Jewish Commissars in the East and their relatives in the complicit Western allied forces.
De-Nazification
(Re-enforcing Semitic defilement) Because
their knowledge of the language and culture was superb, most of the intelligence officers accompanying US and British forces into the Reich were Jewish refugees who had fled Germany in the late 1930s, after failing to have corrupted Germany in the 1930s, they now
had their chance now that the allies had done the fratricidal
fighting on their behalf, Jews such as relatives of Ed Milibands family. Although their American and English “aides” were hardly better, the fact that many of
these “39ers” became interrogators, examiners and the
rscreeners, with old scores to settle, insured that Nazis— or
any German, for that matter—would be put within the malicious, genocidal reach of these fanatical racist Jews. One man opposed to the vengeance-minded program was George Patton: “Evidently
the virus started by Morgenthau and [Bernard] Baruch of a Semitic
revenge against all Germans is still working ... ,” wrote
the general in private. “I am frankly opposed to this war-criminal stuff. It is not cricket and it is Semitic....I can’t see how Americans can sink so low.” Soon after occupation, all adult Germans were compelled to register at the
nearest Allied headquarters and complete a lengthy questionnaire
on their past activities. While many nervous citizens were detained
then and there, most returned home, convinced that at long last the terrible ordeal was over. For millions, however, the trial had but begun. “Then it started,” remembered Anna Fest, a woman who had registered with the Americans
six weeks earlier. Such a feeling of
helplessness, when three or four heavily armed military police stand in front of you. You just panic. I cried terribly. My mother was completely beside herself and said, “You can’t
do this. She registered just as she was supposed to.” Then
she said, “If only you’d gone somewhere else and had
hidden.” But I consider that senseless, because I did not feel guilty. . . . That was the way it went with everyone, with no reason given. Few German adults, Nazi or not, escaped the dreaded knock on the door. Far from being dangerous
fascists, Freddy and Lali Horstmann were actually well-known anti-Nazis.
Records Lali from the Russian Zone: “I
am sorry to bother you,” he began, “but I am simply carrying out my orders. Until when did you work for the Foreign Office?” “Till 1933,” my husband
answered. “Then you need fear nothing,” Androff said.... “We accuse you of nothing, but we want you to accompany us to the headquarters of the NKVD, the secret police, so that we can take down what you said in a protocol, and ask
you a few questions about the working of the Foreign Office...
.” We were stunned for a moment; then I started forward, asking if I could come along with them. “Impossible,” the interpreter smiled. My heart raced. Would Freddy answer satisfactorily? Could he stand the excitement? What sort of accommodation
would they give him? “Don’t worry, your husband
has nothing to fear,” Androff continued. “He will have a heated room. Give him a blanket for the night, but quickly, we must leave. .. .” There was a feeling of sharp tension, putting the soldier on his guard, as though he were expecting an attack from
one of us. I took first the soldier, then the interpreter, by
their hands and begged them to be kind to Freddy, repeating myself in the bustle and scraping of feet that drowned my words. There was a banging of doors. A cold wind blew in. I felt Freddy kiss me. I never saw him again. “[W]e were wakened by the sound of tires screeching, engines stopping
abruptly, orders yelled, general din, and a hammering on the window
shutters. Then the intruders broke through the door, and we saw
Americans with rifles who stood in front of our bed and shone lights at us. None of them spoke German, but their gestures said: ‘Get dressed, come with us immediately.’ This
was my fourth arrest.” So wrote
Leni Riefenstahl, a talented young woman who was perhaps the world’s greatest film-maker. Because her epic documentaries— Triumph of the Will and Olympia—seemed paeans to not
only Germany, but National Socialism, and because of her close
relationship with an admiring Adolf Hitler, Leni was of more than
passing interest to the Allies. Though false, rumors also hinted that the attractive, sometimes-actress was also a “mistress of the devil”—that she and Hitler were lovers. “Neither my husband nor my mother nor any
of my three assistants had ever joined the Nazi Party, nor had
any of us been politically active,” said the confused young woman. “No charges had ever been filed against us, yet we were at the mercy of the [Allies] and had no legal protection of any kind.”
Leni Riefenstahl Soon after Leni’s fourth arrest, came a fifth. The jeep raced along the autobahns until, a few hours later ...I was brought to the Salzburg Prison; there an elderly prison matron rudely pushed me into the cell, kicking me so
hard that I fell to the ground; then the door was locked. There
were two other women in the dark, barren room, and one of them,
on her knees, slid about the floor, jabbering confusedly; then she began to scream, her limbs writhing hysterically. She seemed to have lost her mind. The other woman crouched on her bunk, weeping to herself. As Leni and others quickly discovered, the “softening up” process began soon after arrival
at an Allied prison. When Ernst von Salomon, his Jewish girl friend
and fellow prisoners reached an American holding pen near Munich,
the men were promptly led into a room and brutally beaten by military
police. With his teeth knocked out and blood spurting from his mouth, von Salomon moaned to a gum-chewing officer, “You are no gentlemen.” The remark brought only a roar of laughter from the attackers. “No, no, no!” the GIs grinned. “We
are Mississippi boys!” In another room, military policemen
raped the women at will while leering soldiers watched from windows. After such savage treatment, the feelings of despair only intensified once the captives were crammed into cells. “The people had been standing there for three days, waiting to be interrogated,” remembered a German physician ordered to treat prisoners in the Soviet Zone. “At the sight
of us a pandemonium broke out which left me helpless.... As far
as I could gather, the usual senseless questions were being reiterated: Why were they there, and for how long? They had no water and hardly anything to eat. They wanted to be let out more often than once a day.... A great many of them have dysentery so badly that they can no longer get up.” “Young Poles made fun of us,”
said a woman from her cell in the same zone. “[They] threw
bricks through the windows, paperbags with sand, and skins of hares filled with excrement. We did not dare to move or offer resistance, but huddled together in the farthest corner, in order
not to be hit, which could not always be avoided. . . . [W]e were
never free from torments.” “For hours on end
I rolled about on my bed, trying to forget my surroundings,” recalled Leni Riefenstahl, “but it was impossible.” The mentally disturbed woman kept screaming—all
through the night; but even worse were the yells and shrieks of
men from the courtyard, men who were being beaten, screaming like animals. I subsequently found out that a company of SS men was being interrogated. They came for me the next morning, and I was taken to a padded cell where I
had to strip naked, and a woman examined every square inch of
my body. Then I had to get dressed and go down to the courtyard,
where many men were standing, apparently prisoners, and I was the only woman. We had to line up before an American guard who spoke German. The prisoners stood to attention, so I tried to do the
same, and then an American came who spoke fluent German. He pushed
a few people together, then halted at the first in our line. “Were you in the Party?” The
prisoner hesitated for a moment, then said: Yes.” He was slugged in the face and spat blood. The American went on to the next in line. “Were you in the Party?”
The man hesitated. “Yes or no?”
“Yes.” And he too got punched so hard in the face that the blood ran out of his mouth. However, like the first man, he didn’t dare resist. They didn’t
even instinctively raise their hands to protect themselves. They
did nothing. They put up with the blows like dogs. The next man was asked: “Were you in the Party?” Silence. “Well?” “No,”
he yelled, so no punch. From then on nobody admitted that he had
been in the Party and I was not even asked. As the above case illustrated, there often was no rhyme or reason to the examinations; all seemed designed to force from the victim what the inquisitor wanted to hear, whether true or false. Additionally,
most such “interrogations” were structured to inflict
as much pain and suffering as possible. Explained one prisoner: The purpose of these interrogations is not to worm out of the people what they knew—which
would be uninteresting anyway—but to extort from them special
statements. The methods resorted to are extremely primitive; people
are beaten up until they confess to having been members of the Nazi Party.... The authorities simply assume that, basically, everybody has belonged to the Party. Many people die during and after these interrogations, while others, who admit at once their party membership,
are treated more leniently. “A
young commissar, who was a great hater of the Germans, cross-examined me... ,” said Gertrude Schulz. “When he put the question: ‘Frauenwerk [Women’s Labor Service]?’
I answered in the negative. Thereupon he became so enraged, that
he beat me with a stick, until I was black and blue. I received about
15 blows ... on my left upper arm, on my back and on my thigh. I collapsed and, as in the case of the first cross-examination, I had to sign the questionnaire.”
American torture
pen “Both officers who took our
testimony were former German Jews,” reminisced a member of the women’s SS, Anna Fest. While vicious dogs snarled nearby, one of the officers screamed questions and accusations at Anna. If the answers were not those desired, “he kicked
me in the back and the other hit me.” They kept saying we must have been armed, have had pistols or so. But we had no weapons, none of us....I had no pistol. I couldn’t say, just so they’d leave me in peace, yes, we had
pistols. The same thing would happen to the next person to testify....
[T]he terrible thing was, the German men had to watch. That was
a horrible, horrible experience.... That must have been terrible for them. When I went outside, several of them stood there with tears running down their cheeks. What could they have done? They could do nothing. Not surprisingly, with beatings, rape, torture, and death facing them, few victims failed to “confess”
and most gladly inked their name to any scrap of paper shown them.
Some, like Anna, tried to resist. Such recalcitrance was almost
always of short duration, however. Generally, after enduring blackened eyes, broken bones, electric shock to breasts—or, in the case of men, smashed testicles—only those who died during torture failed to sign confessions. Alone, surrounded
by sadistic hate, utterly bereft of law, many victims understandably
escaped by taking their own lives. Like tiny islands in a vast sea
of evil, however, miracles did occur. As he limped painfully back to his prison cell, one Wehrmacht officer reflected on the insults, beatings, and tortures he had endured and contemplated suicide. I could not see properly in the semi-darkness and
missed my open cell door. A kick in the back and I was sprawling
on the floor. As I raised myself I said to myself I could not, should not accept this humiliation. I sat on my bunk. I had hidden a razor blade that would serve to open my veins. Yes. You can mangle this poor body—I
looked down at the running sores on my legs—but myself, my
honor, ...that is within me, you cannot touch. This body is only a shell, not my real self... New strength seemed to rise in me. I was pondering over what seemed to me a miracle when the heavy lock turned in the cell door. A very young American soldier came in, put his finger to his lips to warn me
not to speak. “I saw it,” he said. “Here are
baked potatoes.” He pulled the potatoes out of his pocket and gave them to me, and then went out, locking the door behind him. *** Horrific
as de-Nazification was in the British, French and, especially the American Zone, it was nothing compared to what took place in Poland, behind Soviet lines, much like the violation of Germans that
occured in 1939 at the hands of communist Polish Jews, which motivated
Hitler to make the humanitarian intervention into Poland which
was then used as the excuse for war against Germany. In hundreds
of concentration camps sponsored by an apparatus called the “Office of State Security,” thousands of Germans—male and female, old and young, high and low, Nazi official and non–Nazi
official, SS, Wehrmacht, Volkssturm, Hitler Youth, all—were
rounded up and imprisoned. Staffed and run by Jews, with help
from Poles, Czechs, Russians, and other concentration camp survivors (where radicals, degenerates and enemies of the German people were held to prevent them from attacking German people, society at large and the war effort), the prisons were little better than torture chambers where dying was a thing to be prolonged, not hastened. While
those with blond hair, blue eyes and handsome features were first
to go, anyone who spoke German would do, these Communists enforced
dysgenics of the most Semitic form. Moments after arrival, prisoners were made horrifyingly aware of their fate. John Sack, himself a Jew, reports on one camp run by twenty-six-year-old Shlomo Morel: “I was at Auschwitz,” Shlomo proclaimed, lying to the Germans but, even more, to himself,
psyching himself like a fighter the night of the championship,
filling himself with hate for the Germans around him. “I
was at Auschwitz for six long years, and I swore that if I got out, I’d pay all you Nazis back.” His eyes sent spears, but the “Nazis” sent him a look of simple
bewilderment. . . . “Now sing the Horst Wessel Song!”
No one did, and Shlomo, who carried a hard rubber club, hit it against a bed like some judge’s gavel. “Sing it, I say!” “The flags held high . . . ,” some
Germans began. “Everyone!” Shlomo said.
“The ranks closed tight. . . .” “I said everyone!” “Blond!”
Shlomo cried to the blondest, bluest-eyed person there.
“I said sing!” He swung his rubber club at the man’s golden head and hit it. The man staggered back. “Our comrades, killed by the Reds and Reactionaries... .”
“Sonofabitch!” Shlomo cried, enraged that
the man was defying him by not singing but staggering back. He hit him again, saying, “Sing!” “Are marching in spirit with us...” “Louder!”
“Clear the street for the Brown Battalions... .”
“Still louder!” cried Shlomo, hitting another shouting man.... “Millions of hopeful people...
.” “Nazi pigs!” “Are
looking to the swastika... .” “Schweine!” Shlomo cried. He threw down his rubber club, grabbed a wooden stool, and, a leg in his fist, started beating a German’s
head. Without thinking, the man raised his arms, and Shlomo, enraged
that the man would try to evade his just punishment, cried, “Sonofawhore!”
and slammed the stool against the man’s chest. The man dropped his arms, and Shlomo started hitting his now undefended head when snap! the leg of the stool split off, and, cursing the German birchwood, he grabbed another stool and hit the German with that. No one was
singing now, but Shlomo, shouting, didn’t notice. The other
guards called out, “Blond!” “Black!” “Short!” “Tall!” and as each of these terrified people came up, they wielded their clubs upon him. The brawl went on till eleven o’clock, when the sweat-drenched invaders cried,
“Pigs! We will fix you up!” and left the Germans alone.
Some were quite fixed.... Shlomo and his subordinates had killed them. (These are the true war crimes, all committed by Jews) The next night it was more of the same . . . and the next night and the next
and the next. Those who survived the “welcoming committees”
at this and other camps were flung back into their pens. “I was put with 30 women into a cell, which was intended to accommodate one person,” Gerlinde Winkler recalled. “The narrow space, into which we were rammed, was unbearable
and our legs were all entangled together. . . . The women, ill
with dysentery, were only allowed to go out once a day, in order
to relieve themselves. A bucket without a cover was pushed into the cell with the remark: ‘Here you have one, you German sows.’ The stink was insupportable, and we were not allowed to open the little window.” “The air in the cells became dense, the smell of the excrement filled it, the heat was like
in Calcutta, and the flies made the ceiling black,” wrote
John Sack. “I’m choking, the Germans thought, and one even
took the community razor blade and, in despair, cut his throat open with it.” When the wretched inmates were at last pried from their hellish tombs, it was
only for interrogation. Sack continues: As many as eight interrogators, almost all Jews, stood around any one German
saying, “Were you in the Nazi Party?” Sometimes a German
said, “Yes,” and the boys shouted, “Du schwein! You pig!” and beat him and broke his arm, perhaps, before sending him to his cell. . . . But usually a German said, “No,” and the boys ... told him, “You’re lying.
You were a Nazi.” “No, I never was.” “You’re lying! We know about you!” “No, I really wasn’t—” “Du
lugst! You’re lying!” they cried, hitting the obstinate man.
“You better admit it! Or you’ll get a longer sentence! Now! Were you in the Nazi Party?” “No!”
the German often said, and the boys had to beat him and beat him
until he was really crying, “I was a Nazi! Yes!”
But sometimes a German wouldn’t confess. One such hard case was a fifty-year-old.... “Were you in the Party?” “No, I wasn’t in it.”
“How many people work for you?” “In the high season, thirty-five.” “You must have been in the Party,” the boy deduced.
He asked for the German’s wallet, where he found a fishing
license with the stamp of the German Anglers Association. Studying it, he told the German, “It’s stamped by the Party.” “It’s not,” said the German. He’d lost his left arm in World War I and
was using his right arm to gesture with, and, to the boy, he may
have seemed to be Heiling Hitler. The boy became violent. He grabbed the man’s collar, hit the man’s head against the wall, hit it against it ten times more, threw the man’s body
onto the floor, and, in his boots, jumped on the man’s cringing
chest as though jumping rope. A half dozen other interrogators,
almost all Jews, pushed the man onto a couch, pulled off his trousers, and hit him with hard rubber clubs and hard rubber hoses full of stones. The sweat started running down the Jews’ arms, and the blood down the man’s naked legs.
“Warst du in der Partei?” “Nein!” “Warst du in der Partei?” “Nein!” the German screamed—screamed, till
the boys had to go to Shlomo’s kitchen for a wooden spoon
and to use it to cram some rags in the German’s mouth. Then
they resumed beating him. . . . The more the man contradicted them, the more they hated him for it. Shlomo Morel: one of thousands of Jewish psychopaths
involved, many of whose descendants form the core of modern leftwing political parties in Europe, such as relatives of the Milibands and Barbara Spectre's. After undergoing similar sessions on a regular basis, the victim was brought
back for the eighth time. By now, the
man was half unconscious due to his many concussions, and he wasn’t thinking clearly. The boys worked on him with rubber and oak-wood clubs and said, “Do you still say you weren’t
in the Party?” “No! I didn’t say I wasn’t
in the Party!” “You didn’t?” “No!” said the punch drunk man. “I
never said it!” “You were in the Party?”
“Yes!” The boys stopped beating him. They practically sighed, as if their ordeal were over now. They lit up cigarettes.... “Scram,” one
said to the German. The man stood up, and he had his hand on the
doorknob when one of the boys impulsively hit the back of his
head, and he fell to the floor, unconscious. “Aufstehen, du Deutsches schwein. Stand up, you German pig,” the boys said, kicking him till he stood up and collapsed
again. Two boys carried him to his cell and dropped him in a corner....
Of course, the boys would beat up the Germans for “Yes”es
as well as “No”s. In Glatz, the Jewish commandant asked a German policeman, “Were you in the Party?” “Of course! I was obliged to be!” “Lie
down,” the commandant said, and six weeks later the boys
were still whipping the German’s feet. Some torture sessions lacked even the pretense of an examination. Remembered Eva Reimann: My cell door opened. The guard, who, because of the foul smell, held a handkerchief
to his nose, cried, “Reimann Eva! Come!” I was led
to a first-floor room. He shouted at me, “Take off your shoes!” I took t hem off. “Lie down!” I lay down. He took a thick bamboo stick, and he beat the soles
of my feet. I screamed, since the pain was very great. . . . The
stick whistled down on me. A blow on my mouth tore my lower lip,
and my teeth started bleeding violently. He beat my feet again. The pain was unbearable.... The door opened suddenly, and, smiling obligingly, a cigarette in his mouth, in came the chief of the Office, named Sternnagel. In faultless German he asked me,
“What’s wrong here? Why do you let yourself be beaten?
You just have to sign this document. Or should we jam your fingers
in the door, until the bones are broad. . . ? A man picked me up by the ankles, raised me eight inches above the floor, and let me fall. My hands were tied, and my head hit hard. . . . I lay in a bloody puddle. Someone cried, “Stand
up!” I tried to, and, with unspeakable pain, I succeeded.
A man with a pistol came, held it to my left temple, and said,
“Will you now confess?” I told him, “Please shoot me.” Yes, I hoped to be freed from all his tortures. I begged him, “Please pull the trigger.” After barely surviving his “interrogation,” one fourteen-year-old
was taken to the camp infirmary. “My body was green, but
my legs were fire red,” the boy said. “My wounds were bound with toilet paper, and I had to change the toilet paper every day. I was in the perfect place to watch what went on.... All the patients were beaten people, and they died everywhere: at their beds, in the washroom, on the toilet. At night, I had to step over the dead as if that
were normal to do.” When the supply of victims ran
low, it was a simple matter to find more. John Sack: One day, a German in pitch-black pants, the SS’s color,
showed up in Lola’s prison. He’d been spotted near
the city square by a Pole who’d said, “Fascist! You’re wearing black!” At that, the German had bolted off, but the Pole chased him a mile to the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, tackled him by a gold mosaic, hit him, kicked him, and took him to
Lola’s prison. Some guards, all girls, then seized the incriminating
evidence: the man’s black pants, pulling them off so aggressively
that one of the tendons tore. The man screamed, but the girls said, “Shut up!” and they didn’t recognize that the pants were part of a boy scout uniform. The “man” was fourteen years old. The girls decided to torture
him [with]. . . . fire. They held down the German boy, put out
their cigarettes on him, and, using gasoline, set his curly black hair afire. At the larger prison camps, Germans died by the hundreds daily. “You pigs!”
the commandant then cried, and he beat the Germans with their
stools, often killing them. At dawn many days, a Jewish guard
cried, “Eins! Zwei! Drei! Vier!” and marched the Germans into the woods outside their camp. “Halt! Get your shovels! Dig!” the guard cried, and, when the Germans had dug a big
grave, he put a picture of Hitler in. “Now cry!” the
guard said. “And sing All the Dogs Are Barking!” and all the Germans moaned, All the dogs are barking, All the dogs are barking, Just
the little hot-dogs, Aren’t barking at all.
The guard then cried, “Get undressed!” and, when the Germans were naked, he beat them, poured liquid manure on them, or, catching a toad, shoved the fat thing down a German’s throat, the German soon dying. Utterly unhinged by years of persecution, by the loss of homes and loved ones,
for the camp operators, no torture, no sadism, no bestiality,
seemed too monstrous to inflict on those now in their power. Some Germans
were forced to crawl on all fours and eat their own excrement as well as that of others. Many were drowned in open latrines. Hundreds were herded into buildings and burned to death or sealed in caskets and buried alive. Near Lamsdorf, German women were
forced to disinter bodies from a Polish burial site. According
to John Sack: The women did,
and they started to suffer nausea as the bodies, black as the stuff in a gutter, appeared. The faces were rotten, the flesh was glue, but the guards—who had often seemed psychopathic,
making a German woman drink urine, drink blood, and eat a man’s
excrement, inserting an oily five-mark bill in a woman’s
vagina, putting a match to it—shouted at the women . . . “Lie down with them!” The women did, and the guards shouted, “Hug them!” “Kiss them!” “Make love
with them!” and, with their rifles, pushed on the backs
of the women’s heads until their eyes, noses and mouths were
deep in the Polish faces’ slime. The women who clamped their lips couldn’t scream, and the women who screamed had to taste something vile. Spitting, retching, the women at last stood up, the wet tendrils still on their chins, fingers, clothes, the wet seeping into
the fibers, the stink like a mist around them as they marched back
to Lamsdorf. There were no showers there, and the corpses had
all had typhus, apparently, and sixty-four women . . . died. Not surprisingly, the mortality rate at the concentration camps was staggering and relatively few
survived. At one prison of eight thousand, a mere 1,500 lived
to reach home. And of those “lucky” individuals who
did leave with their lives, few could any longer be called human. When a smattering of accounts began to leak from Poland of the unspeakable crimes being committed, many in the West were stunned. “One would expect that after the horrors
in Nazi concentration camps, nothing like that could ever happen
again,” muttered one US senator, who then reported on beatings,
torture and “brains splashed on the ceiling.” “Is this what our soldiers died for?” echoed a Briton in the House of Commons. Added Winston
Churchill: “Enormous numbers [of Germans] are utterly unaccounted
for. It is not impossible that tragedy on a prodigious scale is
unfolding itself behind the Iron Curtain.” While Churchill and others in the West were expressing shock and surprise over the sadistic slaughter taking place in the Soviet Zone, precious little was said about the “tragedy on
a prodigious scale” that was transpiring in their own backyard. *** Among the millions imprisoned by the Allies were thousands of Germans accused
of having a direct or indirect hand in war crimes. Because the
victorious powers demanded swift and severe punishment, Allied
prosecutors were urged to get the most damning indictments in as little time as possible. Unfortunately for the accused, their captors seemed determined to inflict as much pain as possible
in the process. “[W]e were thrown
into small cells stark naked,” Hans Schmidt later wrote. “The cells in which three or four persons were incarcerated were six and a half by ten feet in size and had no windows or
ventilation.” When we
went to the lavatory we had to run through a lane of Americans who struck us with straps, brooms, cudgels, buckets, belts, and pistol holders to make us fall down. Our head, eyes, body, belly,
and genitals were violently injured. A man stood inside the lavatory
to beat us and spit on us. We returned to our cells through the
same ordeal. The temperature in the cells was 140 Fahrenheit or more.
During the first three days we were given only one cup of water and a small slice of bread. During the first days we perspired all the time, then perspiration stopped. We were kept standing
chained back to back for hours. We suffered terribly from thirst,
blood stagnation and mortification of the hands. From time to
time water was poured on the almost red-hot radiators, filling the cells with steam, so that we could hardly breathe. During all this time the cells were in darkness, except when the American soldiers entered and switched on electric bulbs ... which
forced us to close our eyes. Our thirst
became more and more cruel, so that our lips cracked, our tongues were stiff, and we eventually became apathetic, or raved, or collapsed. After enduring this torture for several days, we were given a small blanket to cover our nakedness, and driven to the courtyard
outside. The uneven soil was covered with pebbles and slag and
we were again beaten and finally driven back on our smashed and
bleeding feet. While out of breath, burning cigarettes were pushed into our mouths, and each of us was forced to eat three or four of them. Meanwhile the American soldiers continued to hit us on eyes, head, and ears. Back in our cells we were pushed against burning radiators, so
that our skin was blistered. For thirteen days and nights we received the same treatment, tortured by heat
and thirst. When we begged for water, our guards mocked us. When
we fainted we were revived by being drenched with cold water.
There was dirt everywhere and we were never allowed to wash, our inflamed eyes gave us terrible pain, we fainted continuously. Every twenty minutes or so our cell doors were opened and the soldiers insulted and hit us. Whenever the doors were opened we had to stand still with our backs to the door. Two
plates of food, spiced with salt, pepper, and mustard to make
us thirstier, were given us daily. We ate in the dark on the floor. The thirst was the most terrible of all our tortures and we could not sleep. In this condition I was brought
to trial. During the Nazi war crimes
trials and hearings, almost any method that would obtain a “confession” was employed. Eager to implicate high-ranking German officers in the Malmedy Massacre, American investigator Harry Thon ordered Wehrmacht sergeant Willi Schafer to write out an incriminating affidavit:
Next morning Mr. Thon appeared
in my cell, read my report, tore it up, swore at me and hit me. After threatening to have me killed unless I wrote what he wanted, he left. A few minutes later the door of my cell opened, a black hood encrusted with blood, was put over my head and
face and I was led to another room. In view of Mr. Thon’s
threat the black cap had a crushing effect on my spirits.... Four
men of my company ... accused me, although later they admitted to having borne false testimony. Nevertheless I still refused to incriminate myself. Thereupon Mr. Thon said that if I continued
to refuse this would be taken as proof of my Nazi opinions, and
. . . my death was certain. He said I would have no chance against
four witnesses, and advised me for my own good to make a statement
after which I would be set free. . . . I still refused. I told Mr. Thon that although my memory was good, I was unable to recall any of the occurrences he wished me to write about and which to the best of my knowledge had never occurred. Mr. Thon left but returned in a little
while with Lieutenant [William] Perl who abused me, and told Mr.
Thon that, should I not write what was required within half an hour, I should be left to my fate. Lieutenant Perl made it clear to me that I had the alternative of writing and going free or not writing and dying. I decided for life. Another Landser unable to resist the pressure was Joachim Hoffman: [W]hen taken for a hearing a black hood was placed
over my head. The guards who took me to my hearing often struck
or kicked me. I was twice thrown down the stairs and was hurt so much that blood ran out of my mouth and nose. At the hearing, when I told the officers about the ill treatment I had suffered, they only laughed. I was beaten and the black cap pulled over my face
whenever I could not answer the questions put to me, or gave answers
not pleasing to the officers....I was beaten and several times
kicked in the genitals. Understandably,
after several such sessions, even the strongest submitted and signed papers incriminating themselves and others. “If you confess you will go free,” nineteen-year-old Siegfried
Jaenckel was told. “[Y]ou need only to say you had an order
from your superiors. But if you won’t speak you will be
hung.” Despite the mental and
physical abuse, young Jaenckel held out as long as he could: “I was beaten and I heard the cries of the men being tortured in adjoining cells, and whenever I was taken for a hearing I trembled with fear.... Subjected to such duress I eventually gave in, and signed the long
statement dictated to me.” Far from being isolated or extreme cases, such methods
of extorting confessions were the rule rather than the exception.
Wrote author Freda Utley, who learned of the horror after speaking with American jurist Edward van Roden: Beatings
and brutal kickings; knocking-out of teeth and breaking of jaws; mock trials; solitary confinement; torture with burning splinters; the use of investigators pretending to be priests; starvation; and
promises of acquittal. . . . Judge van Roden said: “All
but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated had been
kicked in the testicles beyond repair. This was standard operating procedure with our American investigators.” He told of one German who had had lighted matchsticks forced under his fingernails
by the American investigators to extort a confession, and had
appeared at his trial with his fingers still bandaged from the
atrocity. In addition to testimony
given under torture, those who might have spoken in defense of the accused were prevented. Moreover, hired “witnesses” were paid by the Americans to parrot the prosecution’s
charges. When criticism such as Utley’s
and van Roden’s surfaced, and even as victims were being hung by the hundreds, those responsible defended their methods. “We couldn’t have made those birds talk otherwise... ,” laughed one Jewish “interrogator,”
Colonel A. H. Rosenfeld. “It was a trick, and it worked
like a charm.” ***
This is the true history of the war crimes of the “Good war” and the “Good peace” as Tom Goodrich
describes in order to draw emphasis to the sadistic hypocrisy
of the Jewish controlled historical narrative. We must look at
these crimes and then as Germanic folk declare that we shall avenge them. We shall never again let our Germanic folk be subject to such vile, Semitic malice, in accordance with this declaration we must prevent the worse ongoing Jewish Supremacist engineered defilement of our nations through mass immigration, where our people are being made victims of
African and Asian immigrant criminality and demographic invasion,
worse than even what these Germans faced at the hands of the likes
of the Jewish Shlomo Morel or the USSRs Genrich Yagoda. Statistically the victims of the likes of Ed Milibands “open the floodgates” Hellstorm of an immigration policy would be far more damaging long-term. This is our calling to defiance, in remembrance of the
crimes against our people in the past, from the Semitic controlled
Rome through to the Semitic controlled Charlemagne and worser
leaders since, culminating and worsening post 1945, we must retake control of every level of our civilization to prevent this from continuing, dedicated defiance, politically, socially and logistically.
We must remember the real
histories of our people and use their memories, in their suffering of the hellstorms inflicted upon them, to inspire us to prevent the descendants of these same Jewish Supremacists from taking or retaining electoral and wider socio-political power today, in each and
every area in this era we must defend our folk, we must reclaim
the media, the schools, the universities, councils, police forces,
military forces, national services, judicial commissions and all our borders and each and every currently occupied street and town, in order to safeguard our Germanic folk from the ongoing Semitic and non-European destruction, degradation and demographic defilement against our
sacred Germanic folk.

______________________________________________________________________________________ Why Did America Bomb France in World War II?
... Rouen was not the only French victim of Allied bombs,
nor was it even the worst. Some 1,570 French cities and towns were bombed or hit by artillery fire by Anglo-American forces between June 1940 and May 1945. As an example of
the devastation, it is estimated that
95 percent of Saint-Lô was destroyed; Carentan and Caen, too, were virtually flattened. Some figures show that 432,000 homes and apartments across France were destroyed and another 890,000 homes were
damaged. The number of French civilians
killed and injured before, during, and after their liberation has long been a matter of heated debate in France. One French historian estimates that more than 50,000 men, women, and children died
... The total number of dead could
be as high as 70,000; more than 100,000 were wounded.
Parisians Jeer, Harass Allied Prisoners, 1944
Remarkable
footage of Parisians venting anger against Allied prisoners of war. Shortly after the Allied D-Day invasion
of Normandy in June 1944, British and American soldiers who
had been captured by German forces are marched through Paris, under German guard, apparently for transfer to a railroad station. Large crowds gather to watch. While
most look on silently, some women and
men jeer, harass, assault and even spit at the prisoners. German soldiers and French police keep Parisians from even more violent abuse of the PoWs. Silent footage.

How Franklin Roosevelt Lied America
Into War
... American involvement in war with Germany was preceded by a long series of steps [by FDR, including] ... the orders to American warships to shoot
at sight at German submarines, formally
announced on September 11 [1941]. The beginning of actual hostilities
may be dated from this time rather than
from the German declaration of war, which followed Pearl Harbor ... The promises to "keep America out of foreign wars" were a deliberate hoax on the American
people, perpetrated for the purpose of
insuring Roosevelt's re-election and thereby enabling him to proceed with his plan of gradually edging the United States into war.
Life Magazine Prepares Americans for War
Ten months before the outbreak of war in Europe, the most influential US illustrated
weekly magazine was psychologically
preparing Americans for war with alarmist claims that Germany threatened the United States. This major article in the October 31, 1938, issue of Life magazine,
headlined "America Gets Ready to
Fight Germany, Italy, Japan," told readers that Germany and Italy "covet ... the rich resources of South America," and warned that "fascist
fleets and legions may swarm across the
Atlantic." In fact, at the time Hitler and all other high-level German officials fervently sought to avoid any conflict with the US, Britain or France.
But President Franklin Roosevelt was
secretly pushing for war. In September 1939 Britain and France -- encouraged by the US -- declared war against Germany. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wartime Bombings of Neutral Switzerland By Joachim Hoffmann For some time now it has become common to beat up on prototypically democratic Switzerland
in a sometimes unfriendly and occasionally almost hateful way. Apparently
this is being done for political motives. To this end, certain
regrettable events during the Second World War are strongly emphasized, without in all fairness
mentioning the difficult circumstances under which the Swiss Confederation had to maintain
its neutrality and sovereignty toward not only the Axis powers, and especially Germany, but
also toward the western Allies. Above all the United States,
which is in the forefront of the accusatory critics, should permit itself to be reminded of
the great extent to which, for years, it violated Swiss neutrality. From 1943 onwards American
war planes flew at will over the neutral country, sometimes in flight formations, in attacks
on targets in the German Reich. Time and again they also
carried out offensive operations against Swiss territory. Thus, on April 1, 1944, Schaffhausen
was the victim of an intense American air attack, with considerable human losses and heavy
destruction of property. Passenger and freight rail cars, viaducts and train stations were also
repeatedly bombed or fired upon, such as in Chiasso and Basel, resulting in numerous fatalities
and extensive material damage. On February 22, 1945, alone 18 Swiss lost their lives, and 50
were wounded, some severely, in American bombing attacks and air raids on the northern part
of the country. In the aftermath of the American air attacks
on Basel and Zürich on March 5, 1945, which once again caused considerable human losses
and material damage, the government in Washington was notified in a strongly worded protest
of the routine flouting of Swiss neutrality, and of the steadily increasing number of border
violations, and that such bombings were intolerable. The situation had become so tense that
Washington directed the supreme commander of the United States Army Air Force in Europe, General
Spaatz, and his chief of staff, to go to Bern [the Swiss capital] in person to apologize and
promise reform. Among the various US airplanes that came down
on Swiss territory were no fewer than 160 large four-motor B-17 "flying fortress"
bombers and B-24 "Liberators," either because the crews wanted to avoid being taken
prisoner in Germany, or were deserters who simply wanted to get out of military service, or
because they were forced to land or were shot down by Swiss flyers or air defense forces. War planes of other countries also repeatedly carried out offensive operations against
Switzerland, including, on a large scale, by the British Royal Air Force, and also, not so seriously but still considerable, by the German Luftwaffe, and even on occasion by French planes. However, none of the nations at war so massively and continuously challenged Swiss neutrality, and caused such great loss of life and destruction of property, as the bombers and
fighter planes of the United States air force. From The Journal of Historical

Adolf Hitler: My Political Testament (Berlin, 29 April 1945)
Since 1914, when as a volunteer,
I made my modest contribution in the World War which
was forced upon the Reich, over thirty years have passed. In these three decades, only love for my people and loyalty
to my people have guided me in all my thoughts, actions, and life. They gave
me the strength to make the most difficult decisions, such as no mortal
has yet had to face. I have exhausted my time, my working energy, and
my health in these three decades. It is untrue that I or anybody else in Germany wanted war in 1939. It was desired
and instigated exclusively by those international statesmen who were either
of Jewish origin or working for Jewish interests. I have made so many
offers for the reduction and elimination of armaments, which posterity cannot
explain away for all eternity, that the responsibility for the outbreak
of this war cannot rest on me. Furthermore, I never desired that after the first
terrible World War a second war should arise against England or even
against America. Centuries may pass, but out of the ruins of our cities and monuments of art there will arise anew the hatred for the people who alone are
ultimately responsible: International Jewry and its helpers! As late as three days before the outbreak of the German-Polish War,
I proposed to the British Ambassador in Berlin a solution for the
German-Polish problem -- similar to the problem of the Saar area, under international
control. This offer cannot be explained away, either. It was only rejected
because the responsible circles in English politics wanted the war,
partly in the expectation of business advantages, partly driven by propaganda
promoted by international Jewry. But I left no doubt about the
fact that if the peoples of Europe were again only regarded as so many
packages of stock shares by these international money and finance conspirators, then
that race, too, which is the truly guilty party in this murderous struggle would also have to be held to account: the Jews! I further left no doubt that this time we would not permit millions of European children of Aryan descent to die of hunger, nor millions
of grown-up men to suffer death, nor hundreds of thousands of women and children
to be burned and bombed to death in their cities, without the truly
guilty party having to atone for its guilt, even if through more humane means. After six years
of struggle, which in spite of all reverses will go down in history as the most glorious and most courageous manifestation of a people's will to live. I cannot separate myself from the city which is the capital of this Reich. Because our forces are too
few to permit any further resistance against the enemy's assaults, and because
individual resistance is rendered valueless by blinded and characterless
scoundrels, I desire to share the fate that millions of others have taken upon
themselves, in that I shall remain in this city. Furthermore, I do not
want to fall into the hands of enemies who for the delectation of the
hate-riddled masses require a new spectacle promoted by the Jews. I have therefore resolved to remain in Berlin and there to choose
death of my own will at the very moment when, as I believe, the seat
of the Fuehrer and Chancellor can no longer be defended. I die with
a joyful heart in the awareness the immeasurable deeds and achievements of
our soldiers at the front, of our women at home, the achievements of our peasants and workers, and the contribution, unique in history, of our youth, which bears my name. It goes without saying that I thank them all
from the bottom of my heart and that it is also my desire that in spite
of everything they should not give up the struggle, but continue fighting
wherever they may be, faithful to the great Clausewitz, against the enemies of the Fatherland. From the sacrifices of our soldiers and from my own comradeship with them, there will come in one way or another into German history the seed of a brilliant renaissance of the National Socialist movement and thus the realization of a true national community. Many very
brave men and women have resolved to link their lives to mine to the very end. I have requested them, and finally ordered them, not to do so, but instead to take part in the continuing struggle of the nation. I ask the commanders of the army, navy, and air force to strengthen by all possible means the spirit of resistance of our soldiers in
the spirit of National Socialism, emphasizing especially that I too, as founder
and creator of this movement, have preferred death to cowardly flight
or even capitulation. May it be one day a part of the code of honor; as it is already in the navy, that the surrender of an area or of a town is impossible, and above all in this respect the leaders should give a shining example of faithful devotion to duty unto death. Several brave
men have joined me by their own free will and do not wish to leave the capital of the Reich under any circumstances, but on the contrary are willing to perish with me here. Yet I must ask them to obey my request, and in this instance
place the interests of the nation above their own feelings. Through their work and loyalty they will remain just as
close to me as companions after my death, just as I hope that my spirit will
remain amongst them and will always accompany them. Let them be hard,
but never unjust; above all, let them never allow fear to counsel their
actions, but may they place the honor of the nation above everything on this earth. Finally, may they be conscious of the fact that our task of building a National Socialist state represents the labor of the coming centuries, and this places every single person under an obligation
always to serve the common interest and to subordinate his own interests.
I demand of all Germans, all National Socialists, men and women and
all soldiers of the Armed Forces, that they remain faithful and obedient
to the new government and to their President unto death. Above all, I charge the leadership of the nation and their followers
with the strict observance of the racial laws and with merciless resistance
against the universal poisoners of all peoples, international Jewry. Given at Berlin,
29 April 1945, 4 AM. ADOLF HITLER As witnesses: Dr. JOSEPH GOEBBELS WILHELM BURGDORF MARTIN BORMANN HANS KREBS _________________________________________________________________________________________________________-

SUMMER MONTHS OF 1939 HITLER ATTEMPTS
TO PEACEFULLY RESOLVE DISPUTE OVER DANZIG & THE ‘POLISH
CORRIDOR’ (Stolen from Germany after World War I)
"BERLIN THINKS DOOR IS
LEFT OPEN TO PEACEFUL SOLUTION" The August 28th headline of the Hitler-hating New
York Times confirmed that Hitler sought to avoid war with Britain & France. The “free city” of Danzig is 95% German. Along
with its surrounding German area of East Prussia, Danzig was isolated from the German mainland by the harsh
post-World War I treaties. Formerly German territory now belongs to Poland, cutting
right through the Prussian/Pomeranian region of Germany. As had been the case
with Germans stranded in Czechoslovakia, the Germans in Poland (those not expelled in 1919) are
a persecuted minority. Hitler tries to
solve the problem of the "Polish Corridor” peacefully. He proposes that the people living in Danzig, and the “corridor”
be permitted to vote in a referendum to decide their status. If the region returns
to German sovereignty, Poland will be given a 1 mile wide path, running through
Germany to the Baltic Sea so that it would not be landlocked. The Poles consider Hitler’s solution,
but behind the scenes, Poland is urged by FDR to not make any deals with
Germany. When it becomes apparent to Hitler that Poland will not allow
a referendum, he then proposes another solution – international control of the formerly German
regions. This sensible offer is also ignored.
The Globalists intend to use foolish Poland as the match which ignites World War II. 
Germans stranded in the
stolen 'corridor' and the "free city" of Danzig were abused and denied the right to self-determination.
AUGUST 25, 1939 BRITAIN &
POLAND AGREE TO A MILITARY ALLIANCE
|
The Polish-British Common Defense Pact contains promises of British military assistance in the event that Poland is attacked
by another European country. This builds upon a previous agreement (March 1939) between the two countries,
and also France, by specifically committing to military action in the event of an attack. With
this agreement, powerful Zionist-Globalist forces in the UK have now trapped the reluctant Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain, as well as France and Poland. All that is left to do now is for Polish-Jewish
border thugs to deliberately provoke Germany into action and get the ball rolling.  
The British-Polish Common
Defense past was forced upon Neville Chamberlain. |
AUGUST 31, 1939 THE
GLEIWITZ (and other) BORDER ATTACKS / JEWISH-POLISH GUERILLAS ATTACK GERMAN RADIO STATION
|
Overestimating their strength, underestimating German strength,
and knowing that France and the UK would now be forced to back them, Polish-Jewish terrorists
cross the border and attack a German radio station in Silesia, Germany. It is actually the
latest in a string of deliberate border instigations against Germany. The "Poles"
then broadcast a message (in Polish) urging others to take up arms and start attacking Germans.
German police quickly arrive and retake the station, killing one of the Red terrorists. Jewish Red
terrorists, their Polish government protectors, and their Globalist-Zionist masters have picked
a fight with Germany!
Modern historians claim that the Gleiwitz incident was staged by Germans dressed as
Polish terrorists. But as is the case with the Reichstag Fire conspiracy theory, they offer no evidence,
(beyond a forced “confession” obtained after the war) to support this theory – a theory
that ignores the outrageous and repeated pattern of provocations directed at Hitler's Germany ever
since 1933, the numerous border incidents, and also Hitler’s sincere attempts to negotiate
a fair resolution to the Corridor and Danzig controversies.  
Soon after broadcasting a
call to kill Germans, Polish-Jewish partisans, with the blessing of the Polish government, kicked off
the war between Poland and Germany. FORBIDDEN HISTORY - QUOTE
TO REMEMBER "I lived in Germany during the 1980's when many people who
lived during the war were still alive. I sought out anyone who lived near Poland in 1939 and was lucky
enough to meet several people. One was a customs official who said it was so bad on the border they
were armed and also had grenades in their office ready for attacks. Another told me his farm animals were often stolen
by Polish (Jewish?) terrorists. Another told of his niece being raped by a Pole (Jew?) who crossed
the border. He told me in 1940 they caught the man and showed me a copy of the death order signed by
Heydrich, in which he ordered the man put to death. This is just one of many stories told to me by German
civilians who witnessed these border incursions just like had happened in 1919-1928. One thing many people fail to see is that Poland openly attacked Germany right after World
War I, which led to many border battles. Once Germany started pressing Poland to work out a solution to the corridor,
the attacks started again. .And one thing that is
clear to me is that Germany did not make up these attacks." - G.H. Ohio, USA

SEPTEMBER 17, 1939 SOVIET
UNION INVADES POLAND FROM THE EAST / ALLIES SAY NOTHING! |
With the Polish army being routed by the advancing Germans in the west, Stalin cleverly decides
to break the Soviet-Polish Non Aggression Pact of 1932. Poland is stabbed in the back as Soviet forces pour in from the east. The advancing Reds carry
out massacres, the most infamous being the Katyn Forest Massacre in which 10,000 Polish Army officers are shot in the head. Other than the pre-Versailles
German areas which Germany will reclaim, the Soviets will take.all of Poland. In a shocking double-standard, the
anti-German Globo-Zio press, FDR, France & the UK remain oddly silent about this brutal Soviet
aggression. Poland appeals to Britain for help, citing the Poland-British
Defense Pact just signed a few weeks ago! The Polish ambassador in London
contacts the British Foreign Office pointing out that clause 1(b) of the agreement, which concerned
an "aggression by a European power" on Poland, should apply to the Soviet invasion. The UK
Foreign Secretary responds with hostility, stating that it was Britain's decision whether to declare war on the Soviet
Union! The truth is, the Allies don't give a rat's ass about
Poland. They only used its foolish ultra-nationalist leaders to instigate Hitler so that they
could have their war. The horror that Poland will suffer under Soviet occupation is Poland's
problem, not Britain's! The Soviets executed 10,000 Polish
Army officers at Katyn Forest. They would later try to blame it on the Germans. |
SEPTEMBER 17, 1939 GERMANY
HAS DEFEATED POLAND / DANZIG AND WESTERN PRUSSIA REUNITED WITH GERMANY | Within a few weeks, the German-Polish War is already over.
Hitler receives a hero’s welcome upon his arrival in liberated Danzig. Hitler addresses the Danzig crowd: “No power on earth would have borne this condition as long as Germany. I do not know
what England would have said about a similar peace solution (Versailles) at its expense or how America
or France would have accepted it.
I attempted to find a tolerable solution - even for this problem. I submitted
this attempt to the Polish rulers in the form of verbal proposals.
.You know these proposals. They were more than moderate.
I do not know what mental condition the Polish Government was in when it refused these proposals. …….As
an answer, Poland gave the order for the first mobilization. Thereupon wild terror was initiated,
and my request to the Polish Foreign Minister to visit me in Berlin once more to discuss these questions
was refused. Instead of going to Berlin, he went to London.”  
Hitler receives a hero's
welsome in Danzig |
OCTOBER 1939 - MAY 1940 HITLER
PLEADS FOR PEACE WITH BRITAIN & FRANCE AAA |
The German-Polish War has ended quickly. There is nothing that the Allies can do help their Polish
puppet. The French actually invade Germany on September 7th, advancing 8 km before stopping.
The quiet period between the end of the Polish war until May 1940, is dubbed by a US Senator
as "The Phony War."
During this time, Hitler pleads for the Allies
to withdraw their war declarations. Towards France he declares:
."I have always expressed to France my desire to bury forever our
ancient enmity and bring together these two nations, both of which have such glorious pasts." To the British,
Hitler says: “I have devoted no less effort to the achievement of Anglo-German
friendship. At no time and in no place have I ever acted contrary to British interests….Why should
this war in the West be fought?” Hitler’s pleas for peace are ignored
as the allies amass 600,000 troops in Northern France! Plans are openly discussed to advance eastward upon Germany, via Belgium and Holland, as well
as establishing operations in neutral Norway and Denmark, with or without their consent. 
As Hitler continues to plead for
peace, the British government deploys its army and frightens its people. |
Stalin's War Against His Own Troops The Tragic Fate of Soviet Prisoners of War in German Captivity By Yuri Teplyakov At dawn on June 22, 1941, began the mightiest military
offensive in history: the German-led Axis attack against the Soviet Union. During the first
18 months of the campaign, about three million Soviet soldiers were taken prisoner. By the end
of the conflict four years later, more than five million Soviet troops are estimated to have
fallen into German hands. Most of these unfortunate men died in German captivity.
A major reason for this was the unusual nature of the war on the eastern front, particularly during the first year -- June 1941-June 1942 -- when vastly greater numbers of prisoners fell
into German hands than could possibly be accommodated adequately. However, and as Russian journalist
Teplyakov explains in the following article, much of the blame for the terrible fate of the
Soviet soldiers in German captivity was due to the inflexibly cruel policy of Soviet dictator
Stalin. During the war, the Germans made repeated attempts through neutral countries
and the International Committee of the Red Cross to reach mutual agreement on the treatment of prisoners by Germany and the USSR. As British historian Robert Conquest explains in
his book Stalin: Breaker of Nations, the Soviets adamantly refused to cooperate: "When the Germans approached the Soviets, through Sweden, to negotiate observance
of the provisions of the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war, Stalin refused. The Soviet soldiers
in German hands were thus unprotected even in theory. Millions of them died in captivity, through
malnutrition or maltreatment. If Stalin had adhered to the convention (to which the USSR had
not been a party) would the Germans have behaved better? To judge by their treatment of other
'Slav submen' POWs (like the Poles, even surrendering after the [1944] Warsaw Rising), the
answer seems to be yes. (Stalin's own behavior to [Polish] prisoners captured by the Red Army
had already been demonstrated at Katyn and elsewhere [where they were shot]."
Another historian, Nikolai Tolstoy, affirms in The Secret Betrayal: "Hitler himself urged Red Cross inspection of [German] camps [holding Soviet prisoners
of war]. But an appeal to Stalin for prisoners' postal services received a reply that clinched the
matter: 'There are no Soviet prisoners of war. The Soviet soldier fights on till death. If he
chooses to become a prisoner, he is automatically excluded from the Russian community. We are
not interested in a postal service only for Germans'." Given this situation,
the German leaders resolved to treat Soviet prisoners no better than the Soviet leaders were
treating the German soldiers they held. As can be imagined, Soviet treatment of German prisoners
was harsh. Of an estimated three million German soldiers who fell into Soviet hands, more than
two million perished in captivity. Of the 91,000 German troops captured in the Battle of Stalingrad,
fewer than 6,000 ever returned to Germany. As Teplyakov also explains here, Red
Army "liberation" of the surviving Soviet prisoners in German camps brought no end
to the suffering of these hapless men. It wasn't until recently, when long-suppressed Soviet
wartime records began to come to light and long-silenced voices could at last speak out, that
the full story of Stalin's treatment of Soviet prisoners became known. It wasn't until 1989,
for example, that Stalin's grim Order No. 270 of August 16, 1941
-- cited below -- was first published. -- Mark Weber
"What is the most horrible thing about war?" Marshal Ivan Bagramyan,
three-time Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Pokryshkin, and Private Nikolai
Romanov, who has no battle orders or titles, all replied with just one word: "Captivity." "Is it more horrible than death?" I
was asking soldier Nikolai Romanov a quarter of a century ago when, on the sacred
day of May 9 [anniversary of the end of the war against Germany in 1945], we
were drinking bitter vodka together to commemorate the souls of the Russian
muzhiks who would never return to that orphaned village on the bank of the Volga. "It's more horrible," he replied. "Death
is your own lot. But if it's captivity, it spells trouble for many ..." At that time, in
1965, I could not even vaguely imagine the extent of the tragedy which had befallen
millions upon millions, nor did I know that that tragedy had been triggered by just a
few lines from the Interior Service Regulations of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army: a Soviet soldier must not be taken prisoner against his will. And if he has been, he is a traitor to the Motherland. How many of them were there -- those "traitors"? "During the war years," I was told
by Colonel Ivan Yaroshenko, Deputy Chief of the Central Archives of the USSR
Ministry of Defense, in Podolsk near Moscow, "as many as 32 million people
were soldiers, and 5,734,528 of them were taken prisoner by the enemy." Later I learned where this happened and when.
Thus, the Red Army suffered the most tragic losses in terms of prisoners of war
in the following battles: Belostok-Minsk, August 1941, 323,000; Uman, August
1941, 103,000; Smolensk-Roslavl, August 1941, 348,000; Gomel, August 1941, 30,000;
Demyansk, September 1941, 35,000; Kiev, September 1941, 665,000; Luga-Leningrad,
September 1941, 20,000; Melitopol, October 1941, 100,000; Vyazma, October 1941,
662,000; Kerch, November 1941, 100,000; Izyum-Kharkov, May 1942, 207,000. People
were taken prisoner even in February 1945 (Hungary), 100,000. The same archives in Podolsk hold another 2.5 million cards "missing
in action" -- two and a half million who never returned home. Experts believe:
two million of them are still lying in Russia's forests and marshes. And about
200,000 must be added to the list of POWs. Proof? From time to time the Podolsk
archives receive a letter from somewhere in Australia or the United States: "I
was taken prisoner. Request confirmation that I took part in battles against fascism." This person was lucky -- he survived. The majority,
however, had a different lot. German statistics put it on record: 280,000 person
died at deportation camps and 1,030,157 were executed when trying to escape
or died at factories or mines in Germany. Many of our officers and men were killed by famine before they reached the camps. Nearly 400,000 men died in November-December 1941 alone. During the entire war there were 235,473 British and American prisoners of war in Germany -- 8,348 of them died. Were our men weaker? Hardly. The reasons were different. In the West it is believed that the millions of our POWs who died in captivity fell victim not only to fascism but also to
the Stalinist system itself. At least half of those who died from hunger could
have been saved had Stalin not called them traitors and refused to send food parcels to them via the International Red Cross. It can be argued how many would have survived,
but it's a fact that we left our POWs to the mercy of fate. The Soviet Union
did not sign the Geneva Convention concerning the legal status of prisoners of
war. Refusing to sign it was consistent with the Jesuitical nature of the "leader
of the peoples." From Stalin's point of view, several provisions of the Convention were incompatible with the moral and economic institutions which were inherent in the world's "freest country." The Convention, it turns out, did not guarantee the right to POWs as working people: low wages, no days off, no fixed working hours. Exception was also taken to the privileges fixed for some groups of POWs. In other words it should be more humane. But greater hypocrisy can hardly be imagined. What privileges were enjoyed at that very same time by millions in [Soviet] GULAG prison camps? What guarantees existed there and how many days off did they have? In August 1941 Hitler permitted a Red Cross delegation to visit the
camp for Soviet POWs in Hammerstadt. It is these contacts that resulted in an
appeal to the Soviet government, requesting that it should send food parcels
for our officers and men. We are prepared to fulfill and comply with the norms
of the Geneva convention, Moscow said in its reply, but sending food in the given
situation and under fascist control is the same as making presents to the enemy. The reply came as a surprise. The Red Cross representatives
had not read Stalin's Order of the Day -- Order No. 270, signed on August 16,
1941. Otherwise they would have understood how naive their requests and offers
were, and how great was Stalin's hatred for those who had found themselves behind
enemy lines. It made no difference: who, where, how and why? Even the dead were considered to be criminals. Lt.-Gen. Vladimir Kachalov, we read in the order, "being in encirclement together with the headquarters of a body of troops, displayed cowardice and surrendered to the German fascists. The headquarters of Kachalov's groups broke out of the encirclement, the units of Kachalov's group battled their way out of the encirclement,
but Lt.-Gen. Kachalov preferred to desert to the enemy." General Vladimir Kachalov had been lying for 12 days in a burned out
tank at the Starinka village near Smolensk, and never managed to break out to
reach friendly forces. Yet this was of no concern for anyone. They were busy
with something else -- looking for scapegoats whom they could dump all of their
anger on, looking for enemies of the people whose treachery and cowardice had
again subverted the will of the great military leader. We had to be "convinced" again and
again: the top echelons of authority, the leaders, have no relation whatsoever
to any tragedy, to any failure -- be it the collapse of the first Five-Year Plan
or the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the Dnieper. Moreover,
these misfortunes cannot have objective reasons either, being due solely to the
intrigues of saboteurs and the enemies of the progressive system. For decades, ever
since the 1930s, we have been permanently looking for scapegoats in the wrong place, but
finding them nevertheless. At that time, in the first summer of the war, plenty of them were found. And the more the better. On June 4, 1940, the rank of general was re-established in the Red Army. They were awarded to 966 persons. More than 50 were taken prisoner in the very first year of the war. Very many of them would envy their colleagues -- those 150 generals who would later die on the battlefields. The torments of captivity proved to be darker than the grave. At any rate the destinies of Generals Pavel Ponedelin and Nikolai Kirillov, mentioned in the same Order No. 270, prove that this is so. They staunchly withstood their years in the German camps. In April 1945 the [western] Allies set them free and turned them over to the Soviet side. It seemed that everything had been left behind, but they were not forgiven for August 1941. They were arrested after a "state check-up": five years in the Lefortovo jail for political prisoners and execution by a firing squad on August 25, 1950. "Stalin's last tragic acts in his purging of the military were
the accusations of betrayal and treachery he advanced in the summer of 1941
against the Western Front commanders, Pavlov and Klimovskikh, and several other
generals among whom, as it became clear later, there were also people who behaved
in an uncompromising way to the end when in captivity." This assessment
is by the famous chronicler of the war, Konstantin Simonov. It appeared in the
1960s, but during the wartime ordeals there was indomitable faith: the prisoners
of war (both generals and soldiers) were guilty. No other yardstick existed. International law states that military captivity
is not a crime, "a prisoner of war must be as inviolable as the sovereignty
of a people, and as sacred as a misfortune." This is for others, whereas
for us there was a different law -- Stalin's Order No. 270. If ... "instead of organizing resistance to the enemy, some Red Army
men prefer to surrender, they shall be destroyed by all possible means, both ground-based and
from the air, whereas the families of the Red Army men who have been taken prisoner shall be deprived of the state allowance [that is, rations] and relief."
The commanders and political officers ... "who surrender to the enemy shall be considered malicious deserters, whose families are liable to be arrested [just] as the families
of deserters who have violated the oath and betrayed their Motherland."
Just a few lines, but they stand for the hundreds of thousands of children
and old folks who died from hunger only because their father or son happened
to be taken prisoner. Just a few lines, but they amount to a verdict on those who never even
thought of a crime, who were only waiting for a letter from the front. Having read these lines, I came to understand the amount of grief
they carried for absolutely innocent people, just as I understood the secret
sorrow of the words Private Nikolai Romanov told me a quarter of a century ago:
"Your own captivity spells trouble for many."
I understood why the most horrible thing for our soldiers was not to be killed,
but to be reported "missing in action," and why before each battle,
especially before the assault crossing of rivers, they asked one another: "Buddy,
if I get drowned, say that you saw me die."
Setting their feet on a shaky pontoon and admitting, as it were, that they
could be taken prisoner solely through their own fault, they mentally glanced
back not out of fear for their own lives -- they were tormented and worried over
the lives of those who had stayed back at home. But what was the fault of the hundreds of thousands
of soldiers encircled near Vyazma when Hitler launched Operation Taifun
-- his advance on Moscow? "The most important thing is not to surrender
your positions," the General Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief
ordered them. And the army was feverishly digging trenches facing the west, when
panzer wedges were already enveloping them from the east. General Franz Halder, Chief of Staff of the Wehrmacht's ground forces,
made the following entry in his diary on this occasion: "October 4 -- 105
days of the war. The enemy has continued everywhere holding the unattacked sectors
of the front, with the result that deep envelopment of these enemy groups looms
in the long term." Who was supposed to see these wedges? A soldier from his tiny foxhole or Stalin from the GHQ? And what was the result? Who was taken prisoner? Who betrayed the Motherland? The soldier did. In May 1942, as
many as 207,047 officers and men (the latest figure) found themselves encircled
at Kharkov. When Khrushchev held power, it was Stalin that was considered to be
guilty of this. When Brezhnev took over, the blame was again put on Khrushchev who,
incidentally, had been merely warned by Stalin for that defeat which opened the road for
the Germans to the Volga. But who then betrayed the Motherland, who was taken prisoner? The soldier. May 19, 1942, is the date of our army's catastrophe in the Crimea. "The Kerch Operation may be considered finished: 150,000 POWs and a large quantity of captured equipment." This is a document from the German side. And here is a document from the Soviet side cited by Konstantin Simonov: "I happened to be on the Kerch Peninsula in 1942. The reason for the humiliating defeat is clear to me. Complete mistrust of the army and front commanders, Mekhlis' stupid willfulness and arbitrary actions. He ordered that no trenches
be dug, so as not to sap the soldiers' offensive spirit." Stalin's closest aide and then Chief of the Main Political Administration
(GPU), Lev Mekhlis, the first Commissar of the Army and Navy, returned to Moscow
after that defeat. And what did the soldier do? The soldier stayed in captivity.
There
is no denying that no war can do without treachery and traitors. They could also be
found among POWs. But if compared with the millions of their brothers in captivity, they amounted to no more than a drop in the ocean. Yet this drop existed. There
is no escaping this. Some were convinced by leaflets like this one: The Murderous Balance of Bolshevism:
Killed during the years of the Revolution and Civil War -- 2,200,000 persons. Died from famine and epidemics in 1918 -1921 and in 1932-1933 -- 14,500,000 persons. Perished in forced labor camps -- 10,000,000 persons.
Some even put it this way: I am not going into action against my people, I am going into action against Stalin. But the majority joined fascist armed formations with only one hope: as soon as the first fighting starts, I'll cross the line to join friendly troops. Not everyone
managed to do this, although the following fact is also well known. On September
14, 1943, when the results of the Kursk Battle were summed up, Hitler explained
the defeat by the "treachery of auxiliary units": indeed, at that time
1,300 men -- practically a whole regiment -- deserted to the Red Army's side
on the southern sector. "But now I am fed up with this," Hitler said.
"I order these units to be disarmed immediately and this whole gang to be
sent to the mines in France." It has to be admitted that it was Hitler who rejected longer than all others the proposals to form military units from among Soviet POWs, although as early as September 1941 Colonel von Tresckow had drawn up a plan for building up a 200,000-strong Russian anti-Soviet army. It was only on the eve of the Stalingrad Battle, when prisoners of war already numbered millions, that the Führer gave his consent at last. All in all, it
became possible to form more than 180 units. Among them the number of Russian
formations was 75; those formed from among Kuban, Don and Terek Cossacks -- 216;
Turkistan and Tatar (from Tataria and the Crimean Tatars) -- 42; Georgian --
11; peoples of the Northern Caucasus -- 12; Azerbaijani -- 13; Armenian -- 8. The numerical strength of these battalions by
their national affiliation (data as of January 24, 1945) was the following: Latvians
-- 104,000; Tatars (Tataria) -- 12,500, Crimean Tatars -- 10,000; Estonians
-- 10,000; Armenians -- 7,000; Kalmyks -- 5,000. And the Russians? According
to the official figures of Admiral Karl Dünitz's "government," as of May 20, 1945, there were the 599th Russian Brigade -- 13,000, the 600th -- 12,000, and the 650th -- 18,000 men. If all of this
is put together (as we are doing now), it would seem that there were many who
served on the other side. But if we remember that only 20 percent of these forces took part in hostilities, that they were recruited from among millions of POWs, that thousands upon thousands crossedthe front line to return to friendly troops, the brilliance
of the figures will clearly fade. One detail -- the Reich's special services displayed special concern over forming non-Russian battalions as if they knew that they would be required, especially after the war when whole peoples, from babies to senile old men, came to be accused of treachery. And it made no difference -- whether you were kept in a prison camp or served in the army -- all the same you were an enemy. But the POWs themselves were not yet aware of this -- everything
still lay ahead. The hangover after liberation would set in a little later. Both
for those who themselves escaped from the camps (500,000 in 1944, according to
the estimate of Germany's Armaments Minister Speer) and for those who after liberation
by Red Army units (more than a million officers and men) again fought in its
ranks. For
too long a time we used to judge the spring of 1945 solely by the humane instructions
issued by our formidable marshals -- allot milk for Berlin's children, feed women and old men. It was strange reading those documents, and at the same time chewing steamed rye instead of bread, and eating soup made of dog meat (only shortly before her death did my grandmother confess she had slaughtered dogs to save us from hunger). Reading those orders, I was prepared to cry from tender emotions: how noble it was
to think that way and to show such concern for the German people. And who of us knew that at the same time the marshals received different orders from the Kremlin with respect to their own people? [To the] Commanders of the troops of the First and Second
Byelorussian Fronts [Army Groups], and the First, Second, Third and Fourth Ukrainian Fronts
... The Military Councils of the Fronts shall form camps in [rear-zone] service
areas for the accommodation and maintenance of former prisoners of war and repatriated Soviet citizens -- each camp for 10,000 persons. All in all, there shall be formed: at the
Second Byelorussian Front -- 15 [camps]; at the First Byelorussian Front -- 30; at the First
Ukrainian Front -- 30; at the Fourth Ukrainian Front -- 5; at the Second Ukrainian Front --
10; at the Third Ukrainian Front -- 10 camps ... The check-up [of the former prisoners
of war and repatriated citizens] shall be entrusted as follows: former Red Army servicemen --
to the bodies of SMERSH counter-intelligence; civilians -- to the commissions of the NKVD,
NKGB, SMERSH ... J. Stalin
I phoned Col.-Gen. Dmitri Volkogonov, Chief of the Institute of Military History
under the USSR Ministry of Defense [and author of Stalin: Triumph and Tragedy]:
"Where did you find that order? Both at the State Security Committee and
at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs they told me that they had nothing of
the kind." "This one is from Stalin's personal archives. The camps existed, which means that there are also papers from which it is possible to learn everything: who, where, what they were fed, what they thought about. Most likely, the documents are in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The convoy troops were subordinate to this government department. It included the Administration for the Affairs of Former
Prisoners of War. Make a search." And search I did. Maj.-Gen. Pyotr Mishchenkov, First Deputy Chief of the present-day Main Administration for Corrective Affairs (GUID) at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs,
was sincerely surprised: "This is the first I heard about this. I would
be glad to help, but there is nothing I can do about it. I know that there was
a colony in the Chunsky district of the Irkutsk Region. People got there after
being checked up at the filtering camps mentioned in Stalin's order. They were
all convicted under Article 58 -- high treason."
One colony ... Where are the others, what happened to their inmates? After
all, as many as 100 camps were at work. The only thing I managed to find out
-- by October 1, 1945, they had "filtered" 5,200,000 Soviet citizens;
2,034,000 were turned over by the Allies -- 98 percent of those who stayed in
Germany's western occupation zones, mostly POWs. How many of them returned home?
And how many went, in accordance with Order No. 270, into Soviet concentration
camps? I don't yet have any authentic documents in my possession. Again only
Western estimates and some eyewitness accounts.
I spoke to one such eyewitness on the Kolyma. A former "traitor to the
Motherland," but then the accountant general of the Srednekan gold field,
Viktor Masol, told me how in June 1942 in the Don steppes after the Kharkov catastrophe
they -- unarmed, hungry, ragged Red Army men -- were herded like sheep by German
tanks into crowds of many thousands. Freight cars took them to Germany, where
he mixed concrete for the Reich, and three years later they were sent in freight
cars from Germany across the whole Soviet Union -- as far as the Pacific Ocean.
In the port of Vanino they were loaded into the holds of the Felix Dzerzhinsky
steamship [named after the founder of the Soviet secret police], which had previously
borne the name of Nikolai Yezhov, [a former] People's Commissar of Internal
Affairs [that is, the NKVD or secret police], bound for Magadan. During the week
they were on their way, they were given food only once -- barrels with gray flour,
covered with boiling water, were lowered through the hatch. And they, burning
their hands and crushing one another, snatched this mess and stuffed it, choking, into their mouths: most often people go crazy with hunger. Those who died on the way were thrown overboard in the Nagayev Bay, the survivors marched into the taiga,
again behind the barbed wire of -- now -- their native prison camps. Just a few survived and returned. But even they were like lepers.
Outcasts. How many times they heard: "Better a bullet through your head
..." Many former POWs thought about a bullet in the 1940s-1950s. Both when they were reminded from the militia office -- "you are two days overdue" (all the POWs were kept on a special register with mandatory reports on strictly definite days), and when people told them: "Keep
silent. You whiled awayyour time in captivity on fascist grub ..." And they did keep
silent. In
1956, after Khrushchev's report, it became possible to speak about Stalin. Former POWs
were no longer automatically enemies of the people, but not quite yet defenders
of the Motherland. Something in between. On paper it was one way, but in life everything was different. Two years ago, on the eve of V-Day, I interviewed
Col.-Gen. Alexei Zheltov, Chairman of the Soviet War Veterans' Committee. As
befits the occasion, he was telling me with tears in his eyes about the holiday,
about a Soviet soldier, an accordion in his hands, in the streets of spring-time
Vienna. And I don't know what made me ask him, well, and former prisoners of
war, are they war veterans? "No, they are not veterans. Don't you have anything else to write about? Look how many real soldiers we have ..."
If Alexei Zheltov, the tried and tested veteran commissar, were the only one
to think that way, that wouldn't be so bad. The trouble is that this philosophy
is preached by the majority of the top brass. Both those who have long retired
on pensions and who still hold command positions. For nearly 40 years we have
been "orphaned," have lived without "the father of the peoples,"
but we sacredly revere his behests, sometimes not even noticing this ourselves.
Human
blood is not water. But is has also proved to be a perfect conserving agent for Stalin's
morality. It has become even thicker. It has not disappeared even after several
generations. It lives on. And not infrequently it triumphs. Try and raise the problem of prisoners of war (even before me this theme was taken up on more than one occasion, so I'm no discoverer here) -- the reaction is always the same: better talk about something else. And if you fail to heed a "piece of good advice," they may even start to threaten: "Don't you dare!" To whom should one address his requests? To the government or the
Supreme Soviet? What beautiful walls of the Kremlin should one knock on to demand
that soldierly dignity be returned to former POWs, that their good name be restored?
Suppose
your knocking has been heard. They will ask: what are you complaining about? What
resolution do you take exception to? Oh, not a resolution. You are only worried
over the past? How strange ... But it's even more strange that we still have real soldiers, real heroes and real people, meaning that there are also those who are not real. To this day our life is still like a battle front: by force of habit, we continue putting people in slots -- these on this side, others
over there. There seems to be neither law nor Order No. 270 any longer, like
there is no one and nothing to fight against, but all the same whatever was once
called black may at best become only gray. But by no means white. ... May 9: the
whole country cries and rejoices. Veterans don their medals and pour out wine, remembering
their buddies. But even in this circle a former POW is the last to hold out his
glass and the last to take the floor. What then is to be done? What should we do to squeeze the Stalinoid slave out of ourselves?

‘Second Crusade’ in Retrospect Looking Back at the U.S. Role in World War Two By William Henry Chamberlin America's Second Crusade belongs to history. Was it a success? Over two hundred thousand Americans perished in combat and almost six hundred thousand were wounded. There was the usual crop of postwar crimes attributable to shock and maladjustment after combat experience. There was an enormous depletion of American natural resources in timber, oil, iron ore, and
other metals. The nation emerged from the war with a staggering and probably
unredeemable debt in the neighborhood of one quarter of a trillion dollars.
Nothing comparable to this burden has ever been known in American history. Were these human and material losses justified
or unavoidable? From the military standpoint, of course, the crusade was a victory.
The three Axis nations were completely crushed. American power on land and at
sea, in the air and in the factory assembly line, was an indispensable contribution
to this defeat. But war is not
a sporting competition, in which victory is an end in itself. It can only be justified as a means to achieve desirable positive ends or to ward off an intolerable and unmistakable threat to national security. When one asks for the fruits of victory five years after the end of the war, the answers sound hollow and unconvincing. Consider first the results of the war in terms of America's professed war
aims: the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms. Here surely the failure has
been complete and indisputable. Wilson failed to make his Fourteen Points prevail
in the peace settlements after World War I. But his failure might be considered
a brilliant success when one surveys the abyss that yawns between the principles
of the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms and the realities of the postwar
world. After World War I there
were some reasonably honest plebiscites, along with some arbitrary and unjust
territorial arrangements. But the customary method of changing frontiers after World
War II was to throw the entire population out bag and baggage – and with very little baggage. No war in history has killed so many people and left such a legacy of miserable,
uprooted, destitute, dispossessed human beings. Some fourteen million Germans
and people of German stock were driven from the part of Germany east of the Oder-Neisse
line, from the Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia, and from smaller German settlements in Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Rumania. Millions of Poles were expelled from the territory east of the so-called
Curzon Line and resettled in other parts of Poland, including the provinces stolen
from Germany. Several hundred thousand Finns fled from parts of Finland seized
by the Soviet Union in its two wars of aggression. At least a million East Europeans
of various nationalities Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, Yugoslavs, Letts, Lithuanians,
Estonians – became refugees from Soviet territorial seizures and Soviet
tyranny. Not one of the drastic
surgical operations on Europe's boundaries was carried out in free consultation
with the people affected. There can be no reasonable doubt that every one of
these changes would have been rejected by an overwhelming majority in an honestly conducted plebiscite. The majority of the people in eastern Poland and the Baltic states did
not wish to become Soviet citizens. Probably not one person in a hundred in East
Prussia, Silesia, and other ethnically German territories favored the substitution
of Polish or Soviet for German rule. What a mockery, then, has been made of the
first three clauses of the Atlantic Charter: "no territorial aggrandizement,"
"no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes
of the peoples concerned," "the right of all peoples t o choose the
form of government under which they will live." The other clauses have fared no better. The restrictions imposed on German and Japanese industry, trade, and shipping cannot be reconciled with the promise "to further the enjoyment by all States, great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world."
President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill sing "Onward Christian Soldiers" during
their August 10, 1941, meeting on board a British battleship anchored off of Newfoundland. In
the great conflict then raging between Germany and the other Axis nations, on one side, and the British Empire and Soviet
Russia, on the other, the United States was officially still neutral. Nevertheless, and violating both international law
and repeated pledges to the American people, Roosevelt had already plunged the United States into the war. At this meeting
he publicly committed the US to "the final destruction of the Nazi tyranny." Just weeks earlier, and on his order,
US forces had occupied Iceland. At this meeting Roosevelt and Churchill announced the "Atlantic
Charter," which proclaimed "the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live."
The Allied leaders were never sincere about such pledges. Britain was already violating it in the case of India and other
imperial dominions, and later Roosevelt and Churchill would betray it in the case of Poland, Hungary and other European
nations. The terrific war
destruction and the vindictive peace have certainly not helped to secure "for
all, improved labor standards, economic advancement and social security." In the year 1950, five years after the end of the Second Crusade, "all
men in all lands" are not living "out their lives in freedom from fear
and want." Nor are "all men traversing the high seas and oceans without
hindrance." The eighth
and last clause of the Atlantic Charter holds out the prospect of lightening "for
peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments." But this burden has become
more crushing than it was before the crusade took place. The "peace-loving peoples" have been devoting ever larger shares of their national incomes to preparations for war. All in all, the promises of the Charter seem to have evaporated in a wraith
of Atlantic mist. Nor have the
Four Freedoms played any appreciable part in shaping the postwar world. These,
it may be recalled, were freedom of speech and expression, freedom of religion,
and freedom from fear and want. But one of the main consequences of the war was a vast
expansion of Communist power in eastern Europe and in East Asia. It can hardly be
argued that this has contributed to greater freedom of speech, expression, and
religion, or, for that matter, to freedom from want and fear. The fate of Cardinal Mindzenty, of Archbishop Stepinac, of the Protestant leaders in Hungary,
of the many priests who have been arrested and murdered in Soviet satellite states,
of independent political leaders and dissident Communists in these states, offers eloquent testimony to the contrary.
In short, there is not the slightest visible relation between the Atlantic Charter
and the Four Freedoms and the kind of world that has emerged after the war. Woodrow
Wilson put up a struggle for his Fourteen Points. There is no evidence that Franklin
D. Roosevelt offered any serious objection to the many violations of his professed
war aims. It may, of course,
be argued that the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms were unessential window
dressing, that the war was not a crusade at all, but a matter of self-defense and
national survival. However, there is no proof that Germany and Japan had worked out,
even on paper, any scheme for the invasion of the American continent.
In his alarmist broadcast of May 27, 1941, Roosevelt declared: “Your Government
knows what terms Hitler, if victorious, would impose. I am not speculating about
all this... They plan to treat the Latin American countries as they are now treating
the Balkans. They plan then to strangle the United States of America and the
Dominion of Canada.” But
this startling accusation was never backed up by concrete proof. No confirmation was found
even when the Nazi archives were at the disposal of the victorious powers. There
has been gross exaggeration of the supposed close co-operation of the Axis powers. General
George C. Marshall points this out in his Report on the Winning of the War in Europe and the Pacific [Simon & Schuster, pp. 1-3], published after the end of the war. This report, based on American intelligence reports and on interrogation of captured German commanders, contains the following statements: No evidence has yet been found that the German High
Command had any over-all strategic plan... When Italy entered the war, Mussolini's
strategic aims contemplated the expansion of his empire under the cloak of German military success.
Field Marshal Keitel reveals that Italy's declaration of war was contrary to her agreement
with Germany. Both Keitel and Jodl agree that it was undesired... Nor is there evidence of close strategic coordination between Germany and Japan. The
German General Staff recognized that Japan was bound by the neutrality pact with Russia but
hoped that the Japanese would tie down strong British and American land, sea and air forces
in the Far East. In the absence of any evidence so far to the contrary, it is believed
that Japan also acted unilaterally and not in accordance with a unified strategic plan.
Not only were the European partners of the Axis unable to coordinate their plans and
resources and agree within their own nations how best to proceed, but the eastern partner, Japan,
was working in even greater discord. The Axis as a matter of fact existed on paper only.
[Italics supplied.]
So,
in the judgment of General Marshall, the Axis did not represent a close-knit league, with
a clear-cut plan for achieving world domination, including the subjugation of the American
continent. It was a loose association of powers with expansionist aims in Europe
and the Far East. Of course
the United States had no alternative except to fight after Pearl Harbor and the
German and Italian declarations of war. But the Pearl Harbor attack, in all probability, would never have occurred if the United States had been less inflexible in upholding the cause of China. Whether this inflexibility was justified, in the light of subsequent developments in China, is highly questionable, to say the least. The diplomatic prelude to Pearl Harbor also includes such fateful American
decisions as the imposition of a virtual commercial blockade on Japan in July
1941, the cold-shouldering of Prince Konoye's overtures, and the failure, at
the critical moment, to make any more constructive contribution to avoidance
of war than Hull's bleak note of November 26. The war with Germany was also very largely the result of the initiative of the Roosevelt Administration. The destroyer deal, the lend-lease bill, the freezing of Axis assets, the injection of the American Navy, with much secrecy and double-talk, into the Battle of the Atlantic: these and many similar actions were obvious departures from neutrality, even though a Neutrality Act, which the President had sworn to uphold, was still on the statute books. It is sometimes contended that the gradual edging of the United States
into undeclared war was justified because German and Japanese victory would have
threatened the security and well-being of the United States, even if no invasion
of this hemisphere was contemplated. This argument would be easier to sustain
if the war had been fought, not as a crusade of "a free world against a
slave world," but as a cold-blooded attempt to restore and maintain a reasonable
balance of power in Europe and in Asia. Had America's prewar and war diplomacy kept this objective in mind, some of the graver blunders of the Second Crusade would have been avoided. Had it been observed as a cardinal principle of policy that Soviet totalitarianism was just as objectionable morally and more dangerous politically and psychologically than the German and Japanese brands, the course of American policy would surely have been different. There would have been more favorable consideration for the viewpoint artlessly expressed by Senator Truman when he suggested that we should support Russia when Germany
was winning and Germany when Russia was winning. It was the great dilemma of the war that we could not count on winning the war without Russia and certainly could not hope to win the peace with Russia. But there was at least a partial solution for this dilemma. One of the ablest men associated with the American diplomatic service suggested this to me in a private conversation: "We should have made peace with Germany and Japan when they were too weak to be a threat to us and still strong enough to be useful partners in a coalition against the Soviet Union." But such realism was at a hopeless discount in a crusading atmosphere.
The effect of America's policy was to create a huge power vacuum in Europe and
in Asia, and to leave the Soviet Union the one strong military power in both
these continents. Then the United States belatedly began to offer resistance
when the Soviet leaders acted precisely as anyone might have expected them to
act in view of their political record and philosophy. An old friend whom I met in Paris in 1946, a shrewd and witty British journalist, offered the following estimate of the situation which followed the Second Crusade: "You
know, Hitler really won this war – in the person of Stalin."
President Roosevelt declared in his speech of May 27, 1941: "We will accept
only a world consecrated to freedom from want and freedom from terrorism."
The war into which he was steadily and purposefully steering his country was
apparently supposed to assure such a world. The argument that "we cannot live in a totalitarian world" carried weight with many Americans who were not impressed by lurid pictures of the Germans (who were
never able to cross the narrow English Channel) suddenly frog-leaping the Atlantic and
overrunning the United States. Both in the hectic days of 1940-41 and in the cooler
retrospect of 1950 it seems clear that a Nazi Germany, dominant in Europe, and
a militarist Japan, extending its hegemony in Asia, would be unpleasant neighbors
and would impose disagreeable changes in the American way of life.
It could plausibly be argued that in such a world we should have to assume a heavy
permanent burden of armament, that we should have to keep a constant alert for
subversive agents, that our trade would be forced into distorted patterns. We
would be exposed to moral corruption and to the erosion of our ideals of liberty
because the spectacle of armed might trampling on right would be contagious. These dangers of totalitarianism were real
enough. But it was a disastrous fallacy to imagine that these dangers could be
exorcised by waging war and making peace in such fashion that the power of another
totalitarian state, the Soviet Union, would be greatly enhanced. Failure to foresee the aggressive and disintegrating role which a victorious Soviet Union might be expected to play in a smashed and ruined Europe and Asia was the principal blunder of America's crusading interventionists. Those who secretly or openly sympathized with communism were at least acting logically. But the majority erred out of sheer ignorance and wishful thinking about Soviet motives and intentions. They were guilty of a colossal error in judgment and perspective, and almost unpardonable error in view of the importance of the issues at stake. After Pearl Harbor and the German declaration of war, the United States, of course, had a stake in the success of the Red Army. This, however, does not justify the policy of one-sided appeasement which was followed at Teheran and Yalta. If one looks farther back, before America's hands were tied diplomatically
by involvement in the conflict, there was certainly no moral or political obligation
for the United States and other western powers to defend the Soviet Union against
possible attacks from Germany and Japan. The most hopeful means of dealing with
the totalitarian threat would have been for the western powers to have maintained
a hands-off policy in eastern Europe. In this case the two totalitarian regimes might have been expected to shoot it out to their hearts' content. But advocates of such an elementary common-sense policy were vilified as appeasers, fascist sympathizers, and what not. The repeated indications that Hitler's ambitions were Continental, not overseas, that he desired and intended
to move toward the east, not toward the west, were overlooked. Even after what General Deane called "the strange alliance" had been concluded, there was room for maneuvering. We could have been as aloof toward Stalin as Stalin was toward us. There is adequate evidence available that the chance of negotiating a reasonable peace with a non-Nazi German government would have justified an attempt, but the "unconditional surrender" formula made anything of this sort impossible. With a blind optimism that now seems amazing and fantastic, the men responsible for the conduct of American foreign policy staked everything on the improbable assumption that the Soviet Government would be a cooperative do-gooder
in an ideal postwar world. The
publicist Randolph Bourne, a caustic and penetrating critic of American participation
in its First Crusade, observed that war is like a wild elephant. It carries the
rider where it wishes to go, not where he may wish to go. Now the crusade has ended. We have the perspective of five years of uneasy peace. And the slogan, "We are fighting so that we will not have to live in a totalitarian world,"
stands exposed in all its tragic futility. For what kind of world are we living
in today? It is not very much like the world we could have faced if the crusade
had never taken place, if Hitler had been allowed to go eastward, if Germany
had dominated eastern Europe and Japan eastern Asia? Is there not a "This
is where we came in" atmosphere, very reminiscent of the time when there
was constant uneasy speculation as to where the next expansionist move would
take place. The difference is that Moscow has replaced Berlin and Tokyo. There
is one center of dynamic aggression instead of two, with the concentration of
power in that one center surpassing by far that of the German-Japanese combination.
And for two reasons their difference is for the worse, not for the better.
First, one could probably have counted on rifts and conflicts of interest between
Germany and Japan which are less likely to arise in Stalin's centralized empire.
Second, Soviet expansion is aided by propaganda resources which were never matched
by the Nazis and the Japanese. How
does it stand with those ideals which were often invoked by advocates of the Second
Crusade? What about "orderly processes in international relations," to borrow a phrase from Cordell Hull, or international peace and security in general? Does the present size of our armaments appropriation suggest confidence in an era of peace and good will? Is it not pretty much the kind of appropriation we would have found necessary if there had been no effort to destroy Nazi and Japanese power? Secret agents of foreign powers? We need not worry about Nazis or Japanese. But the exposure of a dangerously effective Soviet spy ring in Canada, the proof that Soviet agents had the run of confidential State Department papers, the piecemeal revelations of Soviet espionage in this country during the war – all these things show that the same danger exists from another source.
Moral corruption? We have acquiesced in and sometimes promoted some of the most outrageous injustices in history: the mutilation of Poland, the uprooting of millions of human beings from their homes, the use of slave labor after the war. If we would have been tainted by the mere existence of the evil features of the Nazi system, are we not now tainted by the widespread prevalence of a very cruel form of slavery in the Soviet Union? Regimentation of trade? But how much free
trade is there in the postwar world? This conception has been ousted by an orgy
of exchange controls, bilateral commercial agreements, and other devices for
damming and diverting the free stream of international commerce. Justice for oppressed peoples? Almost every
day there are news dispatches from eastern Europe indicating how conspicuously
this ideal was not realized. The
totalitarian regimes against which America fought have indeed been destroyed. But a
new and more dangerous threat emerged in the very process of winning the victory. The
idea that we would eliminate the totalitarian menace to peace and freedom while
extending the dominion of the Hammer and Sickle has been proved a humbug, a hoax,
and a pitiful delusion. Looking
back over the diplomatic history of the war, one can identify ten major blunders which
contributed very much to the unfavorable position in which the western powers
find themselves today. These may be listed as follows: (1) The guarantee of "all support in their power" which the British Government gave to Poland "in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence." This promise, hastily given on March 31, 1939, proved impossible to keep. It was of no benefit to the Poles in their unequal struggle against the German invasion. It was not regarded as applicable against Russia when the Soviet Union invaded and occupied eastern
Poland, with the full understanding and complicity of Hitler. All this ill-advised guarantee accomplished was to put Great Britain and France into war against Germany, to the great satisfaction of Stalin, for an objective which the western powers could not win. Poland was not freed even after the United States entered the war and Hitler was crushed. It was only subjected to a new
tyranny, organized and directed from Moscow. There is no proof and little probability that Hitler would have attacked the west if he had not been challenged on the Polish issue. The guarantee, more than any other single action, spoiled the best political opportunity the western powers possessed in 1939. This was to canalize German expansion eastward and to keep war out of the West. (2) The failure of the American Government to accept Konoye's overtures
for a negotiated settlement of differences in the Far East. The futility of the
crusade for China to which the American Government committed itself becomes constantly
more clear. (3) The "unconditional
surrender" slogan which Roosevelt tossed off at Casablanca in January 1943.
This was a godsend to Goebbels and a tremendous blow to the morale and effectiveness
of the underground groups which were working against Hitler. It weakened the
American and British position in relation to Russia, since Stalin did not associate
himself with the demand. It stiffened and prolonged German resistance.
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin at the February 1945 Yalta Conference. At this meeting, the Allied coalition leaders
decided the fate of millions of people around the world.
(4) The policy of "getting along" with Stalin on a basis of all-out appeasement. The Soviet dictator was given everything he wanted in the way of munitions and supplies and was asked for nothing in return, not even an honest fulfillment of the Atlantic Charter, of which he was a cosignatory. The disastrous bankruptcy of this policy is evident from one look at the geographical, political, and moral
map of the world today. (5)
Failure to invade the Balkans, as Churchill repeatedly urged. This mistake was the result
partly of the policy of appeasing Stalin and partly of the narrowly military conception of the war which dominated the thinking of the War Department. There was a tendency to regard the war as a kind of bigger football game, in which victory was all that mattered. (6) The public endorsement by Roosevelt and Churchill in September 1944
of the preposterous Morgenthau Plan for the economic destruction of Germany.
To be sure, the full extravagance of this scheme was never put into practice,
but enough of its vindictive destructionist spirit got into the Potsdam Declaration
and the regulations for Military Government to work very great harm to American
national interests and European recovery. (7) The bribing of Stalin, at China's expense, to enter the Far Eastern war and the failure to make clear, until the last moment, that unconditional sur render, for Japan, did not mean the elimination of the Emperor. These were grave mistakes, fraught with fateful consequences for American political interests in the Orient. Had the danger from Russia, the undependability of China, and the desirability of enlisting Japan as a satellite ally been intelligently appreciated, a balance of power far more favorable
to the United States would now exist in East Asia. (8) The failure, for political reasons, to exploit the military opportunities which opened up in the last weeks of the struggle in Europe, notably the failure to press on and seize Berlin and Prague. Closely linked with this error was the failure to insist on direct land access to Berlin in the negotiations about the postwar occupation of Germany. (9) The persistent tendency to disregard the advice of experts and specialists,
and base American foreign policy on "hunches" inspired by amateurs
and dilettantes. Conspicuous examples of unfitness in high places were Harry
Hopkins as adviser on Russia, Edward R. Stettinius as Secretary of State, Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., as policy framer on Germany, and Edwin W. Pauley as Reparations
Commissioner. A parallel mistake was the laxness which permitted American and
foreign Communist sympathizers to infiltrate the OWI, OSS, and other important
strategic agencies. (10) The hasty launching, amid much exaggerated ballyhoo, of the United Nations. The new organization was not given either a definite peace settlement to sustain or the power which would have made it an effective mediator and arbiter in disputes between great powers. It was as if an architect should create an elaborate second story of a building, complete with balconies, while neglecting to lay a firm foundation. These were unmistakable blunders which no future historical revelations
can justify or explain away. In these blunders one finds the answer to the question
why complete military victory, in the Second Crusade as in the First, was followed
by such complete political frustration. Perhaps the supreme irony of the war's
aftermath is that the United States becomes increasingly dependent on the good
will and co-operation of the peoples against whom it waged a war of political
and economic near extermination, the Germans and the Japanese, in order to maintain
any semblance of balance of power in Europe and in Asia. Primary responsibility for the involvement of the United States in World War II and for the policies which characterized our wartime diplomacy rests with Franklin D. Roosevelt. His motives were mixed and were probably not always clear, even to himself. Frances Perkins, Secretary of labor in his Cabinet and a personal friend, described
the President as "the most complicated human being I ever knew."
Certainly Roosevelt was far from being a simple and straightforward character. In
an age when Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini played the role of the popular tyrant,
of the dictator whose grip on his people is maintained by a mixture of mass enthusiasm
and mass terrorism, Roosevelt showed what could be done in achieving very great
personal power within the framework of free institutions. His career after his
election to the presidency stamps him as a man of vast ambition, capable, according
to Frances Perkins, of "almost childish vanity." There were probably three principal motives that impelled Roosevelt to
set in motion the machinery that led America into its Second Crusade. First was
this quality of ambition. What role could be more tempting than that of leader
of a wartime global coalition, of ultimate world arbiter? Second was the necessity
of finding some means of extricating the American economy from a difficult position.
Third was a conviction that action against the Axis was necessary. This conviction
was greatly strengthened by the first two motives. Roosevelt's first Administration, which began at the low point of a very
severe depression, was a brilliant political success. He was re-elected in 1936
by an enormous majority of popular and electoral votes. But dark clouds hung
over the last years of his second term of office. For all the varied and sometimes
contradictory devices of the New Deal failed to banish the specter of large-scale
unemployment. There were at least ten million people out of work in the United
States in 1939. The coming
of the war in Europe accomplished what all the experimentation of the New Deal
had failed to achieve. It created the swollen demand for American munitions, equipment,
supplies of all kinds, foodstuffs which started the national economy on the road
to full production and full employment. There was the same economic phenomenon at the time of the First World War. The vast needs of the Allies meant high profits, not only for munitions makers (later stigmatized as "merchants of death"), but for all branches of business activity. It brought a high level of farm prices and industrial wages. As the Allies ran out of ready cash, loans were floated on the American market. The United States, or at least some American
financial interests, acquired a direct stake in an Allied victory.
Now, the purely economic interpretation of our involvement in World War I can be
pressed too far. There is neither evidence nor probability that Wilson was directly
influenced by bankers or munitions makers. He had given the German Government
a public and grave warning of the consequences of resorting to unlimited submarine
warfare. When the German Government announced the resumption of such warfare, Wilson, with the assent of Congress, made good his warning. Yet the lure of war profits (not restricted, it should be noted, to any
single class of people) did exert a subtle but important influence on the evolution
of American policy in the years 1914-17. It worked against the success of the
mediation efforts launched by House as Wilson's confidential emissary. The British
and French governments counted with confidence on the absence of any strong action
to back up periodic protests against the unprecedented severity of the blockade
enforced against Germany. The American economy had become very dependent on
the flow of Allied war orders. After
the end of the war, after depression and repudiation of the greater part of the war
debts, the majority of the American people reached the conclusion that a war boom was not worth the ultimate price. This feeling found expression in the Neutrality Act. Roosevelt himself in 1936 described war profits as "fools' gold." Yet the course of American economic development in World War II followed
closely the pattern set in World War I. First the Neutrality Act was amended
to permit the sale of munitions. Then, as British assets were exhausted, the
lend-lease arrangement was substituted for the war loans of the earlier period.
As an economic student of the period [Broadus Mitchell in Depression Decade]
says: The nation
did not emerge from the decade of the depression until pulled out by war orders from abroad
and the defense program at home. The rescue was timely and sweet and deserved to be made as
sure as possible. Whether the involvement of the United States in the war through progressive
departure from neutrality was prompted partly by the reflection that other means of extrication
from economic trouble had disappeared, nobody can say. No proponent did say so. Instead, advocates of "all-out aid to Britain," convoying of allied shipping and lend-lease
took high ground of patriotism and protection of civilization.
There can be no reasonable doubt that the opposition of business and labor groups
to involvement in the war was softened by the tremendous flood of government
war orders. It is an American proverb that the customer is always right. Under
lend-lease and the immense program of domestic arms expansion the government
became the biggest customer. Ambition
certainly encouraged Roosevelt to assume an interventionist attitude. He unmistakably
enjoyed his role as one of the "Big Three," as a leading figure at international conferences, as a mediator between Stalin and Churchill. There is a
marked contrast between Roosevelt's psychology as a war leader and Lincoln's. The Civil War President was often bowed down
by sorrow over the tragic aspects of the historic drama in which he was called
to play a leading part. His grief for the men who were dying on both sides of
the fighting lines was deep and hearty and unaffected. One finds little trace
of this mood in Roosevelt's war utterances. There is no Gettysburg Address in
Roosevelt's state papers. The President's familiar mood is one of jaunty, cocksure,
sometimes flippant, self-confidence. Another trait in Roosevelt's personality which may help to explain the casual, light-hearted scrapping of the Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms is a strong histrionic streak. If he originated or borrowed a brilliant phrase, he felt that his work was done. He felt no strong obligation to see that the phrase, once uttered, must be realized in action. When did Roosevelt decide that America must enter the war? There was a
hint of bellicose action in his quarantine speech of October 5, 1937. Harold
Ickes claims credit for suggesting the quarantine phrase, which did not appear
in earlier drafts of the speech which had been prepared in the State Department.
It was like Roosevelt to pick up and insert an image which appealed to him. However,
the quarantine speech met such an unfavorable reception that it led to no immediate
action. Various dates are suggested
by other observers. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who enjoyed substantial
influence and many contacts in Administration circles, asserted in a Roosevelt
memorial address at Harvard University in April 1945: “There came a moment
when President Roosevelt was convinced that the utter defeat of Nazism was essential
to the survival of our institutions. That time certainly could not have been
later than when Mr. Sumner Welles reported on his mission to Europe [March 1940].” That Roosevelt may have been mentally committed to intervention even before
the war broke out is indicated by the following dispatch from Maurice Hindus in the New York Herald Tribune of January 4, 1948: Prague – President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia
told the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 29, 1939, that war would break out any
day after July 15 of that year, with Poland as the first victim, and Mr. Roosevelt, in reply
to a question as to what the United States would do, said it would have to participate because Europe alone could not defeat Adolf Hitler.
A suggestion by Assistant Secretary of State A. A. Berle that Roosevelt
should have become the leader of the free world against Hitler is believed to
have influenced the President's psychology. [Davis and Lindley, How War Came,
p. 65.] Admiral James O. Richardson,
at that time Commander in Chief of the Pacific fleet, talked at length with Roosevelt
in the White House on October 8, 1940. He testified before the Congressional
committee investigating Pearl Harbor [Report of the Congressional Joint
Committee, Part I, p. 266] that he had asked the President whether we would
enter the war and received the following answer: He [Roosevelt] replied that if the Japanese attacked Thailand, or the Kra peninsula, or
the Netherlands East Indies, we would not enter the war, that if they even attacked the Philippines
he doubted whether we would enter the war, but that they could not always avoid making mistakes
and that as the war continued and the area of operation expanded sooner or later they would
make a mistake and we would enter the war.
It is clear from these varied pieces of evidence that the thought of war was never far from Roosevelt's mind, even while he was assuring so many audiences during the election campaign that "your government is not going to war." During the year 1941, as has been shown in an earlier chapter [of America's Second Crusade], he put the country into an undeclared naval war in the Atlantic by methods of stealth and secrecy. This point was made very clear by Admiral Stark, then Chief of Naval Operations, in his
reply to Representative Gearhart during the Pearl Harbor investigation:
Technically or from an international standpoint we were not at war,
inasmuch as we did not have the right of belligerents, because war had not been declared. But
actually, so far as the forces operating under Admiral King in certain areas were concerned,
it was against any German craft that came inside that area. They
were attacking us and we were attacking them.
Stark also testified that, by direction of the President, he ordered American warships in the Atlantic to fire on German submarines and surface ships. This order was
issued on October 8, 1941, two months before Hitler's declaration of war.
It is scarcely possible, in the light of this and many other known facts, to avoid
the conclusion that the Roosevelt Administration sought the war which began at
Pearl Harbor. The steps which made armed conflict inevitable were taken months
before the conflict broke out. Some
of Roosevelt's apologists contend that, if he deceived the American people, it was
for their own good. But the argument that the end justified the means rests on the assumption
that the end had been achieved. Whether America's end in its Second Crusade was
assurance of national security or the establishment of a world of peace and order or
the realization of the Four Freedoms "everywhere in the world," this
end was most certainly not achieved. America's Second Crusade was a product of illusions which are already bankrupt. It was an illusion that the United States was at any time in danger of invasion by Nazi Germany. It was an illusion that Hitler was bent on the destruction of the British Empire. It was an illusion that China was capable of becoming a strong, friendly, western-oriented power in the Far East. It was an illusion that a powerful Soviet Union in a weakened and impoverished Eurasia would be a force for peace, conciliation, stability, and international co-operation. It was an illusion that the evils and dangers associated with totalitarianism could be eliminated by giving unconditional support to one form of totalitarianism against another. It was an illusion that a combination of appeasement and personal charm could melt away designs of conquest and domination which were deeply rooted
in Russian history and Communist philosophy.
The fruit harvested from seeds of illusion is always bitter.

THE GREAT DEBATE: CHURCHILL vs HITLER (The "debate" is based
upon actual quotes arranged mostly in chronological order) Compiled by Mike King * A skeptical
reader might suspect that the quotes below were cherry-picked out of context and arranged for propaganda
purposes. This is an understandable, though mistaken suspicion. We therefore invite you, after 'the
debate', to also read 'The British Mad Dog' and 'The Bad War' . Both works will provide a full and truthful explanation of Hitler, Churchill and
World War II. Prime
Minister Churchill. We begin with you... |
Churchill
|
We cannot tell whether Hitler will be the man who will once again let loose upon
the world another war in which civilization will irretrievably succumb... It is on this mystery of
the future that history will pronounce Hitler either a monster
or a hero. Nov., 1935

Hitler
|
I appeal to reason in international affairs. I want to show that the idea of eternal
enmity is wrong. We are not hereditary enemies. Feb., 1936
| | Churchill
|
There can never be friendship between the British democracy and the Nazi
Power. Which cheers its onward course by a barbarous paganism, which vaunts the spirit of aggression
and conquest, which derives strength and perverted pleasure from persecution, and uses, as we have
seen, with pitiless brutality the threat of murderous force. Oct., 1938
| | |
At no time and in no place have I ever acted contrary to British interests … I believe even today that there can only be real peace in Europe and
throughout the world if Germany and England come to an understanding. Oct.,
1939 | |
Churchill
|
I would
say to the House as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer
but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We
have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. May, 1940 |
|
Hitler
| In
this hour I feel it to be my duty before my own conscience to appeal once more to reason and common sense, in
Great Britain as much as elsewhere. ... I can see no reason why this war must go on.
July, 1940 | |
Churchill
|
We shall go on to the end. We shall fight on the seas, we shall
fight in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on
the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the
streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender... June, 1940
| | Hitler
| Time
and time again I have offered friendship, and if necessary closest cooperation, to England. But love cannot be
offered from one side only. It must be met with reciprocation by the other side. Germany is not pursuing any interests in the West.
Sep., 1939 |
|
Churchill
| You
ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all
terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no
survival. May,
1940 | |
Hitler
| All of my peace overtures
have been rejected and war was declared on us.... The German people has no hatred, no inimical feeling
toward the English or French people. May,
1940 |
|
Churchill
|
There is one thing
that will bring Hitler down, and that is an absolutely devastating exterminating attack
by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland.
July, 1941
| |
Hitler
|
Again and again I uttered these warnings against this specific
type of aerial warfare, and I did so for over three and a half months. That these warnings failed to impress Mr.
Churchill does not surprise me in the least. For what does this man care for the lives of others? What
does he care for culture or for architecture? May, 1941
| |
|
And even if this Island
or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded
by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World (United
States), with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old. June, 1940 |
|
Hitler
|
(Roosevelt) is resolved to take over,
as safely and securely as possible, the British Empire in the moment of its downfall. Since England
is no longer in the position to pay cash for all the American deliveries. December, 1941 |

Churchill
|
I have it in me to be a successful soldier. I can visualize
great movements and combinations. World
War I | |
Hitler
|
Churchill is the most bloodthirsty of amateur strategists that history has ever known. 1941
| |
Churchill
|
We never thought of peace, not even in that year when we were completely
isolated and could have made peace without serious detriment to the British Empire. Why should we think
of it now, when victory approaches for the three of us? 1944 |
|
Hitler
| It is
untrue that I or anyone else in Germany wanted war in 1939. ...
I have made too many offers for the limitation and control of armaments, which posterity will not
be cowardly enough always to disregard, for responsibility for the outbreak of this war to be placed
on me. Nor have I ever wished that, after the appalling First World War, there would ever
be a second against either England or America. 1945
| | Churchill
|
I want proposals for "basting the Germans on their
retreat from Breslau." January, 1945 (3 weeks before the
genocidal firebombing of the civilians of Dresden)
| |
Hitler
|
Centuries
will go by, but from the ruins of our towns and monuments the hatred of those ultimately responsible
will always grow anew against the people whom we have to thank for all this: international Jewry and
its henchmen (Churchill, FDR). 1945
| | Churchill
|
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. |
|
Hitler
|
The gift Mr. Churchill possesses is the gift to lie with
a pious expression on his face and to distort the truth until finally glorious victories are made out
of the most terrible defeats. 1941 |
|
Churchill
|
I consider that it will be found much better by all Parties to leave the past
to history, especially as I propose to write that history.
| |
Hitler

...despite all setbacks, (this war) will one day go down
in history as the most glorious and heroic manifestation of the struggle for existence of a nation. 1945

________________________________________________________ British Torture at Bad Nenndorf
By Johannes Heyne
Bad Nenndorf
is a bathing resort in the fringe of the uplands of the River Weser's watershed where people with joint ailments are treated with mud baths and soaks in sulfurous
waters. On the grounds of the spa suffused
with sulfur fumes stands a stately mud-bath house from the
19th Century. At the entrance, cure-seekers are greeted by the goddess Hygeia. Late in the 1920s, the bathhouse was extended into a massive complex with innumerable
bathing huts.
=====================================
War-Criminal Headquarters
After the end of the
war, Bad Nenndorf wound up in the British Zone of occupation. In violation of the Hague
Convention for Land Warfare, the occupiers subjugated the civil order and persecuted
civilians, in particular political leaders, of the conquered land. In the Potsdam
Protocol of August 2, 1945, the following is proclaimed:[1]
War criminals and those who have participated in planning or carrying out Nazi enterprises
involving or resulting in atrocities or war crimes shall be arrested
and brought to judgment. Nazi leaders, influential Nazi supporters and high officials
of Nazi organizations and institutions and any other persons dangerous to the occupation
or its objectives shall be arrested and interned.
In accordance therewith, the area surrounding the mud-bath house was designated
a Civil Internment Camp[2] in early August 1945. 1200 residents of the area
had to vacate their houses. The area was fenced off with barbed wire. The mud-bath house
received a new function: registration center and prison for Germans who were to
be charged as war criminals. In the bathing huts, the fixtures were removed and
the tubs in the floors cemented over. From this resulted functional prison cells with
tiled walls. NSDAP functionaries, members of the SS, officers from every branch of the Wehrmacht, diplomats and industrialists were confined in the cells in order to be "prepared" for the coming
war-criminal trials. But here also were kept defecting Soviet officers and mere illegal
immigrants who were suspected of being spies for the Soviet Union-that same Soviet Union that was still an ally of Great Britain in 1945 and 1946. The guard staff consisted of members of a British punishment company,
who hoped by faithful performance in this assignment to recover the ranks that they had
been stripped of.
Report of Victim Oswald Pohl
There are only two reports of conditions in the mud-bath house
at Bad Nenndorf. One report comes from the head of the Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungshauptamt of the SS (Economic and Administrative Main Office), SS General Oswald Pohl,
who was confined for a time at Camp Bad Nenndorf at
the end of May 1945. In the last communication before his execution, he wrote:[3]
| The mud-bath house at Bad Nenndorf |
A
fourth warder smeared my face with something that burned like acid while he slapped my face back and forth. After
he had thoroughly 'lathered' me, he scraped my face with a dull razor so roughly that my
blood dripped onto my jacket. During this procedure, his helpers continually spewed violent
threats and imprecations in my face. Finally, as though on command,
everyone in the cell—there must have been eight or ten of them—set upon me, yanked me up, and pummeled
me blindly, bound and defenseless as I was. Blows of fists rained down on my head and kicks hit me in every part
of my body. Tottering on my legs, I careened from corner to corner until I collapsed unconscious
from a massive blow or kick to the area of the stomach. When I came to, all
was quiet in my cell. I lay on a plank bed and I noticed that two doctors were attending me, one of whom took my
pulse. My handcuffs were off. I passed out again. I was
only able to guess how long all this had taken after night had fallen. Since it was almost dark when I woke up, it must
have been around eight o’clock; the beating must have begun around five. Someone handed
me a cup of strong coffee and then I was brought to my last interview, this time without
having to run a gauntlet. This interrogation lasted until long past midnight. The interrogating officer, noting my condition, inquired as to how it had come about. I gave him a brief account of the above.
He stood up outraged and apologized in the name of the British Army. Then he left the room for a
long while to—as he assured me— arrange with the commandant for punishment of
the perpetrators. The affray had caused me the loss of an incisor and a molar.
The next morning at 7 o’clock I was transported, bound, in a truck to Nuremberg.”
Another Report The second report comes
from the hand of the Nenndorfer Heinrich Steinmeyer and his wife Marie. The report was published in 1952 in in the magazine Quick[4] and further circulates in Bad Nenndorf in various reproductions. Heinrich Steinmeyer was an inmate of the prison and died
in 1948 from the effects of his imprisonment. “British Interrogation
Camp Bad Nenndorf 1945 – 1947 […] the bathhouse
[was] hermetically sealed away from the rest of the world. Except for the British officers, who automatically had
clearance, and those British warders to whom clearance had been issued, no one knew of the
existence of any such prison as this one. The Germans, of course, least of all, since whoever was consigned to
this inferno was immediately rendered mute, invisible, obliterated. No
reports ever came out to next of kin from Bad Nenndorf. The British authorities, who were situated in Herford,
gave information neither to next of kin, to the Red Cross which had been tipped off, nor
even to the Quakers, who wished mercifully to provide aid. They even denied, when specific identification of a
prisoner was submitted, that the man was even in Nenndorf… [The tiled
walls of the cells] became […] a great source of fun for the British watchstanders, and a source of misery for
the prisoners because the soldiers systematically smeared the walls with feces and the prisoners
then had to clean the walls spotlessly with their fingers or a toothbrush. The individual
cells were never heated and in the bitter cold winter of 1946-47, the water faucet in the dayroom
froze up. The floors and walls were icy cold. One plank bed. No sack of straw. Two sheets. And all night long,
the electric light was on, and every hour the guard noisily opened the door and two times every night
came officer’s rounds. The prisoners had to get up, stand still and give their number.
For twenty minutes, one had to hear the slamming of the doors, the tramping of the guards,
the bellowing of the accompanying soldiers. This Is How They Passed Their
Days … The guard staff were a hand-picked motley crew of thugs who probably
possessed but little feeling, and certainly never any sympathy whatsoever. They were all members
of a penal company who had to atone for a criminal offense, and here worked out their obligated
tours of duty. And they made their remaining time as entertaining and pleasant for themselves as they possibly
could. Now and then they had wild disputes among themselves and the prisoners then heard some
of the grievances the boys nursed, and they realized in whose hands they lay. Sodomy, thievery,
fraud, burglary, attempted murder, desertion. The threat to the prisoners lay in the fact that for
every one of these brigands, a shining reward lay in the offing. A fierce struggle for survival drove them back
and forth. Each had earlier held a military rank. And each had
a chance to win their honor back. But to the detriment of the inmates, this opportunity
lay in subjecting the inmates to the roughest and most-brutal treatment possible. For this reason, the boys worked
up the most-sadistic, private methods each of them could by which to torture the prisoners. Every prisoner at Nenndorf reported that, after having fallen asleep
with great effort, he was then awakened in great disturbance. In between were days, one like
the other. Rising time was 4:30. If the sergeant was in a bad
mood, he came around at 3:30 or 4:00. The prisoners stumbled out of bed—that is, from their
plank beds. Five minutes later, both sheets were to be drawn drum-tight across the bed. During the day, none was
to sit, nor to lie. If any poor sod happened to sit or lie for a second or two—denial
of food. The day consisted of pacing back and forth in their cells from 4 in
the morning to 9:30 at night, or standing against the wall. They stood against the wall
until they felt they would go crazy. Every prisoner knew within minutes
of his arrival at Nenndorf that he was lost here, since 5 minutes after his arrival he stood in the intake room,
where a sergeant tore the clothes from his body. It may be said of the Nenndorf garb that
every arrival looked like a clown—jacket too small, pants too wide or too narrow, and
everything stiff with dirt. Laundry was never done. In the issuance of shoes, the sergeant in charge was not satisfied unless the size of shoes issued was at least four sizes too large. That sounds harmless enough,
but it gave rise to unimaginable torture. There were no shoelaces, our shoes just hung on
our feet, and since every step we took outside our cells had to be on the double, we constantly
stumbled and fell, the while driven onward with screams and pokes with rifle butts. After 3-4 hours: weak tea and
perhaps a little porridge. After this, standing or pacing in the cell until one again thought
oneself driven to madness. The Man with the Uppercut
Before the evening officer’s rounds, we had to take off our jackets, pants, and shoes
and lay them in front of our cells, standing behind them in shirt and underpants. The commandant
of Nenndorf, whose name no one will ever forget, Colonel Stevens, took pleasure in conducting
the evening harangue. Rotund with broad shoulders and a face that was always dark red and
many campaign ribbons on his chest, he looked askance at the pitiable, half-frozen forms in their
underclothes with his small, cold eyes. Now and then he would randomly shout at one or another. This inarticulate
yelp contained a question, which the prisoner invariably could not understand. Colonel Stevens
would never wait for an answer, but rather immediately strike the man under the chin with his
fist. Then began a vicious ceremony under the gaze of the watchstanders.
As soon as this tour was over, two or three prisoners were fetched from their cells. They
had to sluice water, that had been placed specifically for this fiendish routine, down the long
corridor and just so that the insensate bodies of the prisoners were soaked in the filthy froth. So their clothes,
if they could be called clothes, lay until dawn in the swill until they awoke and had to
clutch the totally besmirched and frozen r ags against their bodies. Of
course there were interviews and interrogations. A huge number of witnesses have testified that British officers
punched and kicked German army officers, officers of the Waffen SS and party functionaries
mercilessly until they received the testimony they desired. Every prisoner in his cell either
held his ears shut or trembled in every fiber of his body or ran uncontrollably back and
forth in his narrow space whenever the deafening yelling, screaming, howling, crying and babbling of the tortured
prisoner s inescapably echoed down the corridor from the interrogation rooms, punctuated by the
ferocious curses of the British interrogation officers. Experiences in Hell SS Obersturmbannführer Dr. Oebsger-Roeder was beaten unconscious
by several British officers on Good Friday 1946, such that he had to be carried back to his cell.
It took months for his grave injuries to heal. SS Sturmbannführer
Dr. Hahnke, chief of legations in the cultural-political section of the foreign ministry was so badly
beaten up that for the rest of his life he had a game leg. The last head of
the film department of the propaganda ministry, Parbel, not only was flogged upon his arrival, but was consigned
by a British major, a former German, to the feared and notorious Cell 12. In this place,
buckets of water were continually poured so that the prisoner, barefoot in only a shirt and pants,
had to either stand or pace back and forth all night in the wet. The poor soul spent fully eight
days and nights in this hell and his condition even moved the minimal pity of one of the warders, who secretly
took him out, gave him shoes and let him rest for an hour on the seat of the privy. Captain Langham presided over most of the beating incidents. His name is unforgettable
to Nenndorfers. He made sure that the unconscious were taken to the shower, there to be revived
so that the beatings could resume. Most of the torturers were
sergeants. It speaks for the gallows humor of the prisoners that in the midst of this misery, they made up nicknames for one and another of these hangmen. One of these was called Henry VIII because he
was bursting at the seams and continually roaring with a purple face. Another was called Red-eye for
reasons that require no explanation. Another was called Smiley, and he was the worst of the
beasts since he would appear in their cells in the middle of the night wearing an ice-cold smile,
sweep them out of their bunks and make them do strenuous exercises until they were half-broken.
Escape attempts were hopeless, but nonetheless two prisoners who lived in the day room tried
it: one of them got away; the other was caught near the camp in the search that ensued the detection
of their absence, in which the entire guard staff took part. The unfortunate was interrogated
at length and was so beaten that he finally gave away who had supplied him with civilian clothes. This was a miner who worked during the day in Barsinghausen, and on whose door the fugitive knocked one night. As
the miner hesitated, his wife said to him, 'Help him, for Christ’s sake.' The miner
was detained a few weeks and what this man, an old Social Democrat, had to undergo in that period
was cruel in the extreme. He had to throw up at every meal; by the time of his release he also was a complete
wreck. The escapee himself was beaten thoroughly and then his handcuffs were chained to the
shackles on his legs so that to get around, he had to walk or stagger completely bent over.
Many saw him in this condition. No Nenndorfer will ever forget the
British 'military doctor' assigned to look after them, Captain Smith. A haggard, grizzled, emaciated
figure that personified resignation. He would glance into each cell, listen absent-mindedly when anyone complained
about this or that, and then growl, ‘No personal remark.’ (Nothing to report.)
Anyone who had a toothache was entirely neglected, and many had toothaches from being struck
repeatedly in the mouth. There was no dentist. The dentures of Dr. H. C. Winkler, that venerable
Mayor Winkler, who had directed the film industry and financed other major enterprises of
the Third Reich, broke when he was thrown into jail at the age of 72. He could no longer chew. Captain
Smith listened to the old man, who finally said he would starve to death. Smith responded drily, ‘Then you’ll
starve to death.’ Oh, You Holy Christmastime
Anyone who spent Christmastime 1945 in Bad Nenndorf will never forget it their whole life. The prisoners employed in the kitchen had scrimped and expended the most strenuous
efforts to produce a little cheer on that evening. They had managed to produce ginger bread
from their meager resources. And on that Christmas Eve, a faint glimmer of light in the thick
fog of mutual hostility appeared. One of the guards, of Polish descent, visited each cell and to its occupant wished
a 'Merry Christmas' in his heavily accented English. His
own people had received gross mistreatment in the war, perhaps he himself, maybe even by some of those
that night confined in this prison, but this night, he spoke from his heart. He had no inkling what a wave of Hell was about to break over the heads of the prisoners in a few
hours. The entire British staff, falling-down drunk, wandered from cell to cell and beat,
punched, and kicked anything that came between their fists and their boots, the whole night through. A night of
much […] A Certain Type Must Be Eliminated
Verbatim quotation from an interrogation: ‘We know very well that you and your friends
weren’t Nazis. But you’re out of luck. You’re of a type that we want to
eliminate even more than we do the Nazis.’ It was the mill of collective
guilt But there were also God’s mills, which grind slowly but surely
what is cried to Heaven to spread it by rumor throughout the rest of the world. Prisoners
who were released, spoke. And it became clear that in Nenndorf, things happened at the hands of the English that
were as bad as, even worse than, since they were committed in the name of liberation and
democracy, things for which Germans at Nuremberg were hanged or sentenced to prison. Many
of the prisoners had been sworn to silence. But many were not silent. The
ball started rolling. The Catholic camp chaplain of Civil Internment Camp III in Fallingbostel, Vicar Magar, heard
the rumors and sought particulars of another Nenndorfer, Mr. Parbel, which he immediately
passed on to the bishop of Hildesheim. And within a few weeks, this venerated dignitary came
to Nenndorf and held mass in full regalia and delivered himself of the most scathing condemnation of
the torture huts operated by the Britons as described by several prisoners. He swore to relay the information in full
force to Cardinal Griffy in England. On the first Pentecost of
1947, the deputized member of Parliament Stokes stood at the door of Bad Nenndorf and demanded admittance. The British officers, feigning all innocence, had to let him in. The deputy went from cell to cell
and made report of all. What he saw was enough: pitiful, beaten, half-starved, sick, intimidated,
broken shells of persons. On the same evening, the British guard staff, who had for
more than a year plagued and tortured the defenseless, came on the run with friendly but
distracted faces from cell to cell and shared out their own rations of cigarettes, chocolate and bon-bons. But
the ball was still rolling… Senior officers of the London
constabulary Scotland Yard appeared and gathered evidence as to the conditions theretofore. They made
no secret of the fact that they were preparing for a trial of the commandant and guard staff of the English interrogation
camp […] Acquittal for the Torturers: 'I Didn’t
Know,' and 'I Followed Orders' The trial in London went on and
on. The defendants included the commandant of Camp Bad Nenndorf, Colonel Stevens, one of
the most-brutal interrogation officers, First Lieutenant Langham, the camp doctor Captain Smith and some other offenders.
It was embarrassing for Lieutenant Langham in that he was shown to be a former citizen of
Germany. But much more was amiss. The commandant of the camp Colonel Stevens was let off
on the grounds that he didn’t know about the brutality […] Even the sergeants
Red-Eye, Henry VIII and Smiley were acquitted, and on no less than the excuse that they were just carrying out
orders [...] The only sentence arising from the trials was that passed on Captain Smith. His sentence
consisted of his being discharged from the British Army. It was no punishment, since Captain
Smith was an old man, long ready for departure, long since not an active military doctor,
and he fastened upon this basis for mitigation […]” ___________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________ The Volkssturm: Last-Ditch Militia of the Third Reich
On October 18, 1944 - the 131st anniversary of the Battle of the Nations' victory over Napoleon in 1813 - Reichsführer
SS Heinrich Himmler stepped
up to a microphone to make a national radio address announcing the formation of the Nazi Party-controlled Volkssturm [VS], or People's Militia ... The average age of
those who served (the national oath-taking
was conducted on November 12, 1944) was between 45 and 52 ... Of those men who were called up, most were white-collar workers ... VS casualty rates were sometimes as
high as 70 to 80 percent, while other units panicked and fled. In the East, some 650,000 VS men saw action ... In the West, some 150,000 VS men served and had helped to man the West Wall fortifications, as well as
hold the Upper Rhine ... | Defiant Resistance: Germany's WW2 Home Guard
During the final months of
World War II in Europe, beleaguered Germany adopted ever more desperate measures to resist the Soviet-American takeover
of their nation and Europe. As this colorized footage shows, that included the formation of a national militia or home
guard - the "Volkssturm" - which called up all still-available able-bodied men to defend the homeland. Civilians,
including women and Hitler Youth teenagers, were also trained and armed. Many fought with the anti-tank "Panzerfaust,"
an early RPG. Many Volkssturm men played an important role in defending the German capital against the Soviets. Runtime:

Summer, 1945:
Germany, Japan and the Harvest of Hate by Thomas Goodrich.  “We Americans have the dangerous tendency in
our international thinking to take a holier-than-thou attitude toward other
nations. We consider ourselves to be more noble and decent than other peoples,
and consequently in a better position to decide what is right and wrong in
the world. What kind of war do civilians suppose we fought, anyway? We shot
prisoners in cold blood, wiped out hospitals, strafed lifeboats, killed or mistreated enemy civilians, finished off the enemy wounded, tossed the dying into a hole with the dead, and in the Pacific boiled the flesh off enemy skulls to make table ornaments for sweethearts, or carved their bones into letter openers…. [W]e mutilated the bodies of enemy dead,
cutting off their ears and kicking out their gold teeth for souvenirs, and
buried them with their testicles in their mouths…. We topped off our
saturation bombing and burning of enemy civilians by dropping atomic bombs
on two nearly defenseless cities, thereby setting an all-time record for
instantaneous mass slaughter. As victors we are privileged to try our defeated
opponents for their crimes against humanity; but we should be realistic enough to appreciate that if we were on trial for breaking international laws, we should be found guilty on a dozen counts. We fought a dishonorable war, because morality had a low priority in battle. The tougher the fighting, the less room for decency, and in Pacific contests we saw mankind reach the blackest depths of bestiality.” —- Edgar Jones, WWII Veteran

The Morgenthau Plan and the Problem
of Policy Perversion
The Morgenthau Diaries consist of 900 volumes located at Roosevelt Library
in Hyde Park, New York. As a consultant to the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, I was assigned to examine all documents
dealing with Germany, particularly ones related to the Morgenthau Plan for the destruction of Germany following the Second
World War. The Subcommittee was interested in the role of Dr. Harry Dexter White, the main architect of the Plan ... The
objective of the Morgenthau Plan was to de-industrialize Germany and diminish its people to a pastoral existence once
the war was won ... Anyone who studies the Morgenthau Diaries can hardly fail to be deeply impressed by the tremendous
power which accumulated in the grasping hands of Dr. Harry Dexter White, who in 1953 was identified by Edgar Hoover as
a Soviet agent.

World War II: A Reading List Compiled by David Gordon - Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute,
and editor of The Mises Review. The dominant view of World War II is that it was the “good war.”

HOW FIELD-MARSHAL ERWIN ROMMEL REALLY DIED The Ethnic European
REAL HISTORY survives on book royalties donated by author Michael Walsh and supporters of real history. OUR AIMS: To replace victor’s
spin with real history, to enlighten,
inspire and to educate, with your help to
share our features as widely as possible. 
Field-Marshall Erwin Rommel (1891
~ 1944) was a German general and military theorist. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, the career serviceman served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht (Defense Force) of the Third Reich during World
War II, as well as earlier serving
in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany (1871 ~ 1918). Rommel was a highly
decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic
book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks,
drawing on his experiences from World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself
as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation
as one of the ablest tank commanders of the war and
earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, the Desert Fox. Among his British adversaries, he earned a strong reputation for chivalry,
and the North African campaign has often been
called a “War Without Hate”. He later commanded
the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944. The propaganda of the victors falsely claims that in 1944, Rommel was implicated in the 20 July plot to assassinate Germany’s
twice-elected President-Chancellor Adolf Hitler. The
story goes that due to Rommel’s status as a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly instead of immediately executing him, as many other
plotters were. Rommel was given a choice between committing suicide, in return for assurances
that his reputation would remain intact and that
his family would not be persecuted following his death, or facing a trial that would result in his disgrace and execution; he chose the former and committed suicide using a cyanide pill. Rommel
was given a state funeral, and it was announced that “he had succumbed to his injuries from the strafing of his staff car in Normandy.” This last hyphenated account is the only correct account. 
The victors’ story of
German General Erwin Rommel’s death was a fabricated one constructed by the Allies at the end of the war. Rommel was arguably Germany’s best general of World War II, as well as a famously humane and kind man,
and a devout Christian, thus the need
to fabricate the circumstances of what happened to him. In fact, the Field-Marshal died as a result of major injuries from a lowly Allied assassination attempt,
not due to his being made to commit suicide by Adolf
Hitler. The bogus official story that’s gone down as history was the result
of the interrogation and torture (torture was a standard
operating procedure with the Allies) of his captured 16-year-old son, Manfred, by the French in one of their camps in April 1945. Strangely,
the resulting type-written so-called personal account
was in English, which was also a language Manfred Rommel
did not even speak. 
General Rommel passed away on
the 14th October 1944 from a heart attack brought on by three skull fractures suffered when a Canadian Spitfire strafed his car off the road three months earlier. He made no apologies for his service to the
Reich: “I served my Fatherland
to the best of my ability and would do so again.” Credit The Hidden World. 
'National Narcissism': Britons,
Americans and Russians All Think Their Country was Responsible for Winning WWII
People in Britain, America and Russia all greatly overestimate their country's contribution
to defeating Adolf Hitler, according
to new research. A survey found people from each country think it was responsible for contributing more than half to the victory - the UK (51%), the US (54%) and Russia
(75%). Experts say that this is vastly more than the proportion of credit afforded to them by the rest of the world in a phenomenon dubbed 'national narcissism.' For the UK, the average plunges to 19 per cent in the eyes of those
from seven other Allied countries - and Germany, Italy and Japan, who fought against them. For Russia it crashes to 20 per cent while America enjoys a 27 per cent share of the credit US - still way below
the country's own self-belief in victory.
It Was Stalin's Soviet Union That
Defeated the Axis
... Americans
and Canadians like to believe they won the war in Europe and give insufficient recognition to the decisive
Soviet role. Most Europeans would rather not think about
the matter ... Were it not for the USSR's victory, Nazi Germany might be alive and well today. Let's do the numbers. The Soviet armed forces destroyed 507
German divisions and 100 allied Axis
divisions (according to Soviet figures) ... The Red Army accounted for 75-80 percent of Axis casualties in World War II ... No one likes to admit it
was Stalin who defeated Nazi Germany. Stalin killed far
more people than Adolf Hitler ... At that time, both Roosevelt and Churchill lavished praise
and thanks on the Soviet Union, admitting
its "gigantic effort" in defeating Hitler's Germany. Today, however, we have chosen to forget who really won the war in Europe.  GERMANY LOST WORLD WAR II NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE WRONG BUT BECAUSE THEY WERE RIGHT...!
