Breaking Taboos: Jewish War Agitation—Hitler to Ahmadinejad Part I

 

…Since WWII, [Jews] have been particularly sensitive to any hint of a resurgence of Nazism, either in the United States or Germany, and they have constantly reminded the rest of the world about Hitler and his cohorts.

For this reason, one of the most active aspects of J.W.V.’s postwar program has been keeping Nazis, Nazi sympathizers, and Germany herself under close surveillance. There are several reasons for this—to make sure that America does not reward Nazis, to make sure there is no resurgence of Nazism in Germany, to make sure that Germany does not stray in her obligations, particularly to Israel, and to make sure that war criminals are appropriately punished (Gloria R. Mosesson, p. 123-124).

Jewish War Agitation: Hitler to Ahmadinejad

The historical indictment of Adolf Hitler as the primary antagonist of the Second World War is an ahistorical construct. It was, and remains, the creation of historians as opposed to historical fact. The truth is that Hitler bears far less responsibility for the Second World War than any one of the four main Allied nations, those being: Great Britain, the Soviet Union, America, and above all, Israel.1 In fact, when we apply the same historiographical measures and standards to Hitler’s Germany as we have to Hussein’s Iraq and Ahmadinejad’s Iran, then we are drawn to the conclusion that Americans, Israelis, and Britons are guilty of the same provocative international actions and aggressive war policies today as those of the 1920s through 1940s. This analysis will focus on the specific details of international Jewish agitation for war against Hitler’s Germany, Hussein’s Iraq, and Ahmadinejad’s Iran–all within a comparative context. I will prove beyond any doubt that Jewish agitation for war proved to be the decisive component in America’s decision to go to war in 1941, 2003, and quite possibly again this year (2009) against Iran.

Background: Jewish Ethnostrategy and Agitation against Germany

In a highly biased analysis of 1933, Jewish author Gloria Mosesson (1971) states the following:

Nineteen thirty-three was the year that saw active Comrade Herbert H. Lehman become Governor of New York State, Franklin Delano Roosevelt become President of the United States, and Adolf Hitler, an Austrian paperhanger turned German Fuehrer, become Chancellor of a Germany that was soon to have its name unofficially changed to Nazi Germany (p. 43).

Mosesson not only assigns to Hitler the responsibility and usage of the defamatory label of “Nazi Germany,” but more disturbingly she defames his character by calling him a “paperhanger,” insinuating that this is a career of which one ought to be ashamed. She does not call Roosevelt an ailing and crippled communist, nor does she assign a negative connotation to the then Jewish New York State Governor Herbert Lehman. In fact, she refers to him as an “active Comrade” which can only be interpreted as “active co-religionist.” Hitler never asked to be called “Nazi” nor did he view himself or Germany as “Nazi.” This term was a creation of the foreign press outfits that were agitating hostility towards Germany. Referring to Germany under Hitler as “Nazi Germany” is the equivalent of referring to modern day Iran as “Islami Iran” since it has evolved from a western-inclined democratic tradition to an Islamic authoritarian style republic. It was just “Germany” and it is just “Iran.”

She went on to say:

It is the eternal credit of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States that they were the first Jewish organization to recognize the menace of Hitler for what it was, and to take decisive action to fight Nazism wherever they would find it. There had been Jews who had questioned the need for a Jewish war veterans’ organization, who had suggested that its same functions could be handled by American veterans’ organizations or the rest of the Jewish community. But for that matter why then have Jewish hospitals or Jewish employment services (Ibid., p. 43-44)?

Mosesson has asked an important rhetorical question in this passage. Why have Jewish hospitals or employment organizations indeed! One cannot help but notice that there are no modern day Mexican employment organizations or hospitals, Polish employment organizations or hospitals, Iranian employment organizations or hospitals, Russian employment organizations or hospitals, German employment organizations or hospitals, ad infinitum. Mosesson (1971) has even affirmed that the Jewish people are a “race,” so it would be difficult to argue that these apartheid social organizations were strictly religious-based as opposed to race-based (p. 41). This is a topic which Dr. MacDonald has dealt with extensively in his tour de force, Separation and Its Discontents.

In a SAID summary, MacDonald’s website states:

The basic thesis of this book can be summarized by the proposition that Judaism must be conceptualized as a group strategy characterized by cultural and genetic segregation from gentile societies combined with resource competition and conflicts of interest with segments of gentile societies. This cultural and genetic separatism combined with resource competition and other conflicts of interest tend to result in division and hatred within the society (MacDonald, n.d.).

This explains at least in part why many of the Jews in 1930s America wanted a Jewish war veterans’ organization and why author Mosesson was so keen upon defending this desire in her book. Please recall that Mosesson (1971) has argued that this organization in particular was the first to recognize the “menace” of Hitler (p. 44). As argued by MacDonald, the Jews were especially successful as regards their ethno-social cohesive group strategy; thus, they were able to bring this organization to culmination even though some Jews opposed it. This successful ethnocentric cohesion in turn explains Jewish virulence and hostility towards German National Socialism. In the case of “Nazi” Germany the Jews were not considered part of the newfound German ingroup; rather, they were the ostracized outgroup. Hence, they became the victims of the same discriminatory attitudes and policies that they had so readily utilized in Weimar German society while acting as a cohesive ethnocentric ingroup; in even clearer terms, the Jews found themselves to be the victims of policies identical to their own. This is especially the case with the Nuremberg Laws which mimicked the biblical laws of Ezra almost to the point of plagiarism (See endnote [i] here).

Jewish-Zionist activist Lenni Brenner has affirmed this very principle:

Zionism has no illusions about the difficulty of the Jewish condition, which consists above all in an abnormal occupational pattern and in the fault of an intellectual and moral posture not rooted in one’s own tradition … On the foundation of the new state, which has established the principle of race, we wish so to fit our community into the total structure so that for us too, in the sphere assigned to us, fruitful activity for the Fatherland is possible. … Our acknowledgement of Jewish nationality provides for a clear and sincere relationship to the German people and its national and racial realities. Precisely because we do not wish to falsify these fundamentals, because we, too, are against mixed marriage and are for maintaining the purity of the Jewish group … We believe in the possibility of an honest relationship of loyalty between a group-conscious Jewry and the German state… (Atzmon, 2006).

So, Brenner has not only acknowledged the alien cultural disposition which proved problematic for successful German-Jewish relations throughout the Weimar years, but even more importantly, he has affirmed that the Nuremberg Laws were not to be detested by Jewry because they were based upon the racial laws of the Jews themselves. For the Jews to have detested the Nuremberg racial laws would have exposed them as bigots.

One of the reviews for MacDonald’s SAID briefly summarizes the German-Jewish social phenomenon in Hitler’s Germany:

MacDonald concludes that the National Socialism of (Nazi) Germany was not only a reaction to but a ‘mirror image’ of what Jews were doing. The similarities, he says, lie in the common focus on genetic purity (and endogamy), eugenic practices, cooperation within the cohesive ingroup, and hostility to and denigration of outgroups (seen in the original Hebrew versions of Jewish religious texts [see Israel Shahak’s (1994) Jewish History, Jewish Religion; John Hartung’s (1995) Love thy neighbor; (Skeptic Magazine, 3{November}:86-99)]. But where in the mirrored images of Jewish activities does one find the massacre of six million gentiles? Nowhere, of course, circa Weimar Germany. But think of the Biblical Joshua’s still celebrated genocide of the Canaanites, and the ongoing and frequently murderous actions taken by Jews in Israel against Palestinian Arabs (e.g., Deir Yassin; Baruch Goldstein), approved of by surprising percentages of Israeli Jews (Hilton, 1998) [emphasis added].

Hilton forgot to mention the genocide of Palestinians and Russian Slavs by Jews.

Jewish Lies and Deceit: A Glimpse Then and Now

Mosesson (1971) goes on to claim that “…none other than a Jewish veterans’ organization could straddle the communal scene and effectively coordinate the interests of Jews, of veterans, and Americans” (p. 44). According to this deduction the Jews could only count on themselves to take care of themselves which is not necessarily a faulty trait. In fact, it was probably these sorts of microdelegations that gave the Jewish people in America an extra edge over other racial and ethnic groups that were competing for the same financial, political, and social resources at the time. This is certainly the case today with regards to both the ADL and AIPAC Lobby (ADL, 2007; Leupp, 2007). Had the Germans been as effective as the Jews at ethno-strategy then it could just as easily have been they who swayed American foreign policy in favor of their worldview as opposed to the worldview of Jewry. It was this potential at the time that had solicited American Jewry, as well as Jewry abroad, to viciously and relentlessly attack any and all opposition to its ethos, which is convincingly argued by Mosesson. This was especially the case with regards to the numerous accusations of membership in the so-called “Nazi fifth column,” which appears to have consisted of numerous independent thinkers who disagreed with American intervention in Europe; that is, the thinkers who opposed Jewish interests of course. Even the renowned African American political figure and intellectual W.E.B. Du Bois was accused of sympathizing with Nazism (Lusane, p. 127). African American Lonnie Lawrence Dennis was actually accused of placating to Hitler’s “fifth column” in America. Dennis had also reportedly been photographed near or with Hitler, while in attendance at a 1935 Nuremberg Rally (Ibid., p. 122). American Jews and other warmongers accused Dennis of placating to “Hitler’s fifth columnists within the States” because his reports had been so well-received among anti-war, pro-Nazi advocates (Ibid.). Dennis had referred to Hitler as “the greatest political genius since Napoleon” in the pro-Nazi newspaper, Weckruf. He had also praised him as “rational” in that same article (Ibid.).

Mosesson (1971) tows this same line in having openly criticized assimilated or gentilized Jews:

It is noteworthy that this attitude carries over to the Jews who are afraid to put their efforts to positive and constructive community contributions because they are afraid to be labeled Jewish for fear of inciting anti-Semitism. Hitler was to teach them quite a different lesson by his thoroughness in rounding up and destroying by the thousands German Jews who had fled their Jewishness in the protective coloration of being good Germans (p. 44-45).

This argument can be countered, if not dismantled on three premises:

1. Dr. Robert Faurisson has concluded that thousands of Jews were not rounded up and “destroyed” by Hitler (Faurisson, 2006).

2. Mosesson has conveniently ignored the historical fact that at least 150,000 Jews and Mischlinge were allowed to serve in the German armed forces during the Second World War (Rigg, p. 192). Over 6,000 of these men had two Jewish parents (Ibid., p. 65). This indicates that numerous Jews were successfully assimilated in Hitler’s Germany and therefore accepted as members of ‘Nazi’ German society at the time.

3. As argued by Gilad Atzmon, the Jewish people have been guilty of numerous genocides which date as far back as biblical times; moreover, they have continued on the path of genocide with the Zionist occupation of Palestine (Atzmon, 2006).

The following excerpt from Atzmon’s essay explains much in the way of Jewish evolutionary group strategy. It emphasizes the Jews’ continued utilization of the alleged holocaust as their justification for the aforementioned genocide in Palestine as well as their continuous persecution of perceived ‘Nazis’ throughout the world.

In the article, Medoff explores the similarities between Esther’s lobbying in Persia and her modern brother’s lobbying within [   ] FDR’s administration at the pick [sic] of WWII. ‘The Esther in 1940s Washington was Henry Morgenthau, Jr.,’ says Medoff, ‘a wealthy, assimilated Jew of German descent who (as his son later put it) was anxious to be regarded as ‘one hundred percent American.’ Downplaying his Jewishness, Morgenthau gradually rose from being FDR’s friend and adviser to his Treasury Secretary.’

Clearly, Medoff spotted a modern Mordechai as well…‘a young Zionist emissary from Jerusalem, Peter Bergson (real name: Hillel Kook), [  ] led a series of protest campaigns to bring about U.S. rescue of Jews from Hitler. The Bergson group’s newspaper ads and public rallies roused public awareness of the Holocaust—particularly when it organized over 400 rabbis to march to the front gate of the White House just before Yom Kippur in 1943.’

Medoff’s reading of the Book of Esther provides us with a glaring insight into the internal code of Jewish collective survival dynamics in which the assimilated (Esther) and the observant (Mordechai) are joining forces with clear Judeo centric interests in their minds (Atzmon, 2006).

The passage above contains a fundamentally flawed argument; that being, that this “Bergson group” knew about the “Holocaust” by the year 1943. That is impossible. The earliest date as to knowledge of the alleged “Holocaust” could not have come until the year 1945 at the earliest. We need not even discuss the unsubstantiated, Jewish-supported argument that “homicidal gassings” did not even begin until 1942 (McFee, 2003). It would be ridiculous to even attempt to argue that the Germans allowed the details of their ultra secret gassing program to be leaked to the foreign press within a year of its implementation if they had not even committed the plan to paper; rather, they had allegedly implemented it with a “wink and a nod” as argued by the Jewish and mainstream historians themselves (H-HP.org, n.d.).

It is important to note that Jewish agitation against Germany exacerbated an already vehement anti-Jewish social reality in German society. This resulted largely from the international Jewish boycott of German goods in 1933 and the socio-economic hardships bestowed upon German society under the Versailles Diktat. One must be willing to acknowledge that Hitler had either perceived or genuinely believed that Jews had been the primary culprits behind the imposition of Versailles. He viewed it as wholly unfair because he felt Jews had played an imperative role in getting Germany involved in the First World War to begin with. It was for this reason that he and others dubbed the prominent Jewish leaders and financiers of the time “November criminals.” This is best explained by the Jewish German Heinz Weichardt.

As an aside, I am not thoroughly convinced as to the internal validity of this source; however, even if it is a work of fiction, it nevertheless conveys an accurate portrait of the internal strife between National Socialists and Jews just as would a fiction account of a holocaust “survivor”. So, even if Weichardt lied about his experiences, or this work is fraudulent, it nevertheless dovetails the official accounts of the socio-political context of Germany during the 1930s-1940s. Besides, he is no less credible than such holocaust “survivors” as Olga Lengyel (Five Chimneys), Elie Wiesel (Night), Filip Mueller (Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers), Thomas Blatt (No Time for Tears), and Miklos Nyiszli (Auschwitz).

I have been able to verify some facts about one of his relatives, which I have included below, and I have also been able to confirm his personal information as stated in the introduction by J.B. Campbell (PeopleFinders.com, n.d.). His birth year and age match up with Mr. Campbell’s account so there is really only the issue of exaggeration and a lack of credibility as regards the internal validity. It appears as though Mr. Campbell had influenced Weichardt’s thinking to some degree, but this would have to be proven. Furthermore, Heinz more than likely would have been categorized as a Mischling and not a Jew; according to his autobiography his mother was “of Jewish extraction” (Weichardt, p. 2; Rigg, p. 16-17). This leads the reader to believe that she may not have been one hundred per cent Jewish. Regardless of what the truth may be, in the following excerpted and condensed account, Weichardt attempts to explain Hitler’s anti-Jewish thinking through an analysis of the context of the socio-political reality surrounding Hitler at the time; but, before proceeding, one may want to become familiar with a relative of Weichardt’s, Mr. Louis Weichardt.

According to Wikipedia Louis was “…a South African political leader who founded the Gray Shirts, a National Socialist organization. [He was] born in Paarl of German extraction (Note: According to JewishGen.org, Weichert/Weichardt is a Jewish surname). In Cape Town, on October 26, 1933, he founded the South African Christian National Socialist Movement with a paramilitary section (modeled on Nazi Germany’s brown-shirted Sturmabteilung). …[He had been] interned during World War II; he afterwards worked with Oswald Pirow’s New Order. [After] disbanding his party in 1948, Weichardt gave his allegiance to Daniel François Malan’s National Party. He became senator from [sic] Natal Province from 1956-1970” (Wikipedia, n.d.). Now that I have established a somewhat more credible portrait of this source, we may proceed with Weichardt’s account of Hitler’s anti-Jewish thinking.

According to Weichardt (2004):

Hitler examines the war maps.

Hitler examines the war maps.

After obtaining the Balfour Declaration the Jewish-American press and their followers made a sudden turnabout and began to pour their well-practiced venom on the still hard-fighting Germans, who were from now on to be known simply as barbarous Huns. This was not only a betrayal of Germany but also of their German co-religionists who were more accepted in Germany than anywhere else in the world and where most of their able-bodied men were still fighting for what they considered their fatherland. It was rather easy to convert the ‘idealistic’ but feebleminded Wilson into a fanatic crusader for ‘democracy’ and America joined the bloodletting with supposedly the best of intentions. As far as the public was concerned it was the job of the Jewish press, as well as others such as the Hearst press to release a never ending stream of anti-German hate propaganda which did a good job and the easily misled masses patriotically marched off to war. Russia had collapsed, the Jew Kerensky formed the first revolutionary government and decided to continue the war against Germany—a preposterous idea considering the condition of Russia at that time. Germany, eager to end the war in the east, decided to help a new and more radical revolution in Russia. Lenin, leader of the far left Communists, was residing in Zurich. He had promised to end the war with Germany as soon as he was in control of Russia and negotiations began for his secret transport through Germany to St. Petersburg. I am somewhat familiar with these occurrences because my father was at that time the top member of the German press corps in Switzerland and got involved in the above-mentioned negotiations. The Jews outside Germany decided to help Lenin along in his bid for power and sent his comrade Trotsky (Bronstein) and hundreds of Communist Jewish radicals from Brooklyn, armed with untold millions of dollars, to Russia. The rest is well-known history as far as the events in Russia are concerned. …

Here now rises the curtain over the second act of Jewish treachery against Germany—this time unfortunately in Germany proper. This is the story: After the German army had driven the Russians out of Germany and Austrian Galicia it drove them out of Russian Poland and Ukraine. The Jews, in Poland a major part of the population, became fearful of the traditional severe anti-Semitism in those parts, especially since the Germans had the plan to create a new Polish state at the end of the war with Russia. A massive movement of Galician Jews, most of them being Austrian citizens, began their trek westward into Austria, mainly Vienna, whence they could freely enter Germany. A few thousands in the beginning swelled to hundreds of thousands towards and after the end of the war. Among the first arrivals there was a disproportionate amount of Communist agitators which wormed its way into Germany’s Socialist movement, which already was dominated by Jewish intellectuals. In Germany, because of the Allied blockade, the suffering of the civilian population had already become severe and demoralizing and exactly after the Russians were forced to sign the peace-treaty of Brest-Litowsk, the unions struck a mortal blow to Germany’s war effort by striking the munitions factories. The planned offensive was thereby sufficiently delayed to permit the Americans to arrive with their unlimited supplies and after another year of hopeless resistance and President Wilson’s reasonable sounding peace offer, revolution broke out in Germany.

The war was lost and in Versailles Wilson’s proposals were wiped off the table and a peace was dictated to the newly formed German democracy, the insanity of which doomed it to an early demise at the day of its birth. The Communists under their Jewish leadership (Liebknecht, Luxemburg, Toller, Eisner, Radek, Kuhn, etc.) started bloody uprisings in Berlin, Munich and Hungary. Hostages, including women, were being taken and murdered, thousands were dying in street fights with police and gendarmes. Toller, leader of the Red Army which formed in Bavaria, recommended that most Germans should be gassed (aha!) and received congratulations and promises of help from Lenin personally. The new Socialist president, Ebert, was finally forced to call on the remnants of the German army, and with the help of the newly formed Freikorps (mostly patriotic former members of the army), the Bolsheviks along with the incursions of Poles across the newly enforced German borders were finally defeated. It should be emphasized at this point that nearly all the leaders of the Communist terrorists were foreign Jews. During the accelerating inflation certain businessmen and well connected financiers, again the majority being Jewish, were able to amass fortunes, which helped the rise of anti-Semitism in the country suffering from defeat and incredible hunger, thanks to the continuing British blockade, which was prolonged for one year after the armistice and caused the deaths of approximately 800,000 Germans, mostly women and infants. …

On January 31, 1933, with a Bolshevik uprising only weeks—perhaps [even] days—away, Hitler, as leader of the largest party, was constitutionally named Reichschancellor. The most remarkable part about the following national ‘revolution’ is the fact that it was totally orderly and bloodless. A few especially obnoxious leaders of the extreme left were locked up and perhaps got a well earned beating from overly enthusiastic storm troopers, who remembered their murdered comrades. If I am wrong about this, please name me one prominent victim of this ‘terror.’ When on February 27, 1933 a Communist succeeded in setting fire to the Reichstag building in Berlin, the Communist Party was outlawed and the top leaders were arrested. Any claim that the National Socialists set the fire is typical lying propaganda. Today this is even admitted in Jewish-ruled Germany! During the following fall a trial was held in Germany’s highest court against the admitted arsonist and the Communist hierarchy. One Bulgarian Communist, Dimitroff, of postwar fame, had a field day in court by insulting Hermann Göring, but in the end all of them were acquitted except the arsonist. The highest court in National Socialist Germany could not produce sufficient evidence to tie the Communist élite to the crime which was certainly committed in their name. … (p. 4-12).

This pithy depiction of Hitler’s thinking, as well as that of his fellow National Socialists, with regards to the Jews is accurate. Even Hitler himself had stated very similar reasons for his personal feelings about Jews in Mein Kampf and during conversations with both Dietrich Eckart and Otto Wagener. (See Eckart, Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin and Wagener, Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidant). I would also like to briefly add that Hitler’s suppression of his SA, as well as the murder of Ernst Roehm, was a far cry from tyranny because it was done to secure the safety and future of the German Reichswehr, which was the only official militia of the German nation (Dietrich, p. 28-29). If Hitler had allowed his SA to overthrow the German military then he would have been guilty of a crime against the state which he had recently avowed to protect and defend. It would have been the modern day equivalent of George W. Bush’s private Blackwater organization overthrowing the United States military. Hitler is absolutely exonerated in this regard. Let us now briefly return to the subject of the Jewish boycott against Germany.

Not even Mosesson (1971) can deny the popular Jewish support for the 1933 international boycott of German goods. The J.W.V. [Jewish War Veterans] played a crucial role not only in the instigation of the boycott but also in the recruitment process to get other Jewish organizations and businesses involved (p. 45). Many Jews were at first reluctant to place their Jewishness ahead of their Americanism, but the boycott fever proved an irresistible temptation and a parade was even organized as a show of Jewish American prowess and defiance towards everything German (Ibid., p. 45). “Thousands of WWI veterans flock[ed] to join existing posts” (Ibid.). Mosesson even makes mention of the “mammoth parade” which was “kicked off” by the J.W.V. in New York on 23 March 1933. It is difficult to fathom that the idea of destroying the lives of fellow human beings with the possibility of starving them unto their collective death was a cause for celebration.

Many people would like only to indict the Zionist Jews for instigating this international boycott of 1933, but that simply is not an accurate portrayal of the historical reality. The man who had conceived of the boycott of “German-made imports” was a certain J. George Fredman. The J.W.V. agreed with his idea and “adopted it as national policy” (Mosesson, p. 45). Again, and this cannot be emphasized enough, the J.W.V. was next to solo in its efforts to orchestrate this international boycott until it had recruited, through grassroots activism, enough enthusiastic Jewish participation to make it an international effort. The whole idea was spawned by a single pro-Jewish grassroots activist, not a Zionist. The J.W.V. had also committed itself to combating “Hitlerism” and “anti-Semitism” in America (Mosesson, p. 45). Remarkably, the J.W.V. was able to expand its “national body… geographically [and] numerically” (Ibid.). In other words, what began as a simple boycott became an INGO (International Non-Governmental Organization). Just four months into the international boycott, Samuel Untermeyer had gone so far as to announce on 6 August 1933 that “…we will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends” (AHRS, 2007).

The National Commander and “parade marshal” was none other than Abraham Kraditor for whom the Abraham Kraditor Memorial Award for Political Science was named (Stella, n.d.). On just three days’ notice “sponsors were solicited” and included the American Legion, V.F.W., Palestine Legionnaires, and “delegates from many fraternal, social and commercial organizations” including the “Ladies Auxiliary” (Mosesson, p. 45). Once again, we can clearly see that non-Zionists were both solicited and involved in this international boycott against Germans simply because they had popularly elected Hitler to direct the affairs of their nation. According to Mosesson (1971), “The parade route, which led to City Hall, was lined with almost a million people. Commander Fredman presented an anti-Nazi resolution to New York’s Mayor John O’Brien, who stated: ‘Any regime which encourages religious intolerance as its basis must and will meet with the moral opposition of the entire world’” (p. 45-46).

First of all, “religious intolerance” had nothing to do with National Socialist Germany at this time. Remember, this accusation was made in November 1933 which was only eleven months after Hitler’s inauguration on 30 January 1933 (Toland, 1992). As documented by Toland (1992), Hitler had stated in the private company of his closest comrades, “Some foreign source today called me ‘anti-Christ,’ he said. “The only kind of anti I am is anti-Lenin” (p. 291). Furthermore, both historians Ernst Helmreich and Richard Steigmann-Gall have argued that the alleged religious intolerance of Christians during the span of the Third Reich is completely inaccurate (See The German Churches Under Hitler and The Holy Reich). The Jewish grievance of “religious intolerance” under Hitler is likewise inaccurate. Jews were not persecuted for religious reasons. They were persecuted for political, criminal, financial, and social reasons, above all. Christianity may have played a significant role in certain aspects of Jewish persecution in general, but it was not the sole or predominant cause of Jewish persecution in Hitler’s Germany (AHRS, 2005).

As I had written in an earlier analysis:

The legalized criminality and predominantly Marxian attributes of this people as a whole was the primary contributing factor to Jewry’s collective persecution at the hands of the Natsos. Perhaps if the Jewish people had not collectively declared war upon Germany, nor proved themselves to be a hostile socio-political phenomenon within German society—namely, with their Marxian ideology—then Hitler would not have persecuted them to such an extent as has been proven forensically and historically [referring specifically to deportation and internment, not “extermination” which remains wholly unproven]” (AHRS, 2007).

Furthermore, let us not overlook what we have been discussing which is the fact that international Jews had boycotted Germany in order to “destroy” it in 1933 (AHRS, 2007). The atrocities and extremes of Reichskristallnacht did not occur until 1938, so this event cannot be cited as an excuse. Additionally, Hitler was “disgusted” by the violent, anti-Jewish events that had ensued in his name (Weckert, 1985).

Jewry’s Self-Inflicted Sufferings: Ideal for Attaining Control

The following excerpt from historian Ingrid Weckert’s essay, “Crystal Night 1938: The great Anti-German spectacle,” gives us an historically accurate portrayal of Hitler’s reaction to “religious intolerance” toward Jewry.

‘Crystal Night’ is the name that’s been given to the night of 9-10 November 1938. In almost all large German cities and some smaller ones that night, store windows of Jewish shops were broken, Jewish houses and apartments were destroyed, and synagogues were demolished and set on fire. Many Jews were arrested, some were beaten, and some were even killed. The ‘Reich Crystal Night’ (Reichskristallnacht) was one of the most shameful events of National Socialist Germany. Although the Jews suffered initially, the greatest harm was ultimately done to Germany and the German people.

Even people who are sympathetic to National Socialism cannot understand how this event could have happened. Julius Streicher, the so-called ‘number one Jew baiter’ [note 1] for example, was shocked when he first learned about the demonstrations and destruction the next morning. [Emphasis added]

The all-important question is: Who was responsible for the incident? It is generally accepted, especially by contemporary historians, that the Nazi gang organized and carried out the pogrom, and that the chief instigator was Propaganda Minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels. The truth of the matter is that Adolf Hitler was so disgusted by the incident that he forbade anyone from discussing the matter in his presence. Dr. Goebbels complained that he would now have to explain this terrible affair to the German people and the world, and that he simply did not know what kind of credible explanation to give. If he had actually been responsible for the Crystal Night, he surely would have had a well-prepared explanation. The explanation he gave on the morning of the 10th was extremely unconvincing and was generally not believed by the German public. During my study of this subject, which resulted in my book on the Crystal Night, Feuerzeichen, I found many facts which do not agree with the generally accepted thesis. On the contrary, the evidence which I have found gives a completely different picture (Weckert, 1985). [Emphasis added]

It may be pertinent to mention at this point that a least some Jews in Germany at the time were aware that ominous things were to come. This foreboding could only have been evoked in individuals or groups that had something to hide or felt some degree of guilt about what they might have been harboring in their hearts and minds.

The following passage by Gilad Atzmon should suffice as to the knowledge of this foreboding:

… They [Zionists] followed their very Jewish cultural code. They followed the Book of Esther, they took the role of Mordechai. They tried to find a way to collaborate with what they correctly identified as a prominent emerging power. In 1969, Rabbi Prinz confessed that ever since the assassination of Walther Rathenau in 1922, there was no doubt in our minds that the German development would be toward an anti-Semitic totalitarian regime. When Hitler began to arouse, and as he put it ‘awaken’ the German nation to racial consciousness and racial superiority, we had no doubt that this man would sooner or later become the leader of the German nation (2006).

This passage leads us to acknowledge that some Jews knew what was coming. Instead of taking measures to normalize Jewish-German relations, they chose instead to remain insular and ethnocentric, which could only put them in opposition to German society, politics, and culture. Perhaps if German Jews had made serious and honest efforts to curb the collective criminality and social debauchery of their co-religionists things might have turned out quite different for both Germany and Jewry. Mosesson (1971) has argued that the Jewish boycott tactics were “many and varied” (p. 47). Some of the tactics are so unbelievable in their scope and range that one would do well to at least familiarize oneself with the pervasiveness of this movement and the detrimental consequences it probably wrought upon the German economy. These actions, in turn, had undoubtedly served to incite German hostility towards Jews in Germany itself.

According to Mosesson:

There were more parades, meetings, solicitation of help from other Jewish groups, boycott stamps and all kinds of reminders, like book matches, about the boycott. Lists of substitute products for German imports were made up, cheaters who removed German labels and sold their goods as American items were apprehended, and even the National City Bank was petitioned not to make a proposed loan to Germany. Constant vigilance led to an ever-decreasing number of German imports.

William Bobier of Phoenix, Arizona (formerly of Cleveland, Ohio), recalls that J.W.V. members worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] in giving information on German-American Bund members, backers, meetings, and activities.

This protest against Hitler’s regime, the first public one in the United States, was actually spurred by the inertia of American Jews in taking any action in the face of the stories of brutality and oppression against German Jewry. It was an indication of farsightedness, moral courage, and forthright action on the part of the J.W.V. (p. 47).

First of all, the fact that the Jewish War Veterans were able to either persuade or coerce the American FBI into taking action against German American citizens is unprecedented; however, it does not come as nearly as much of a shock today as it probably had back then. Secondly, the accounts of “brutality” against German enemies and even Jewry were oftentimes fraudulent or exaggerated. Aside from the aforementioned Weckert account, the following is just one example among many.

As documented by historian A.V. Schaerffenberg (2003):

On April 27, 1937, newspapers around the world were filled with outrage over an air raid on the undefended Basque city of Guernica. Gruesome photographs of 6,000 dead women and children appeared accompanied by headlines accusing the ‘Nazi murderers’ of causing this terrible tragedy. While every effort was being made by journalists in France, England, Russia, and America to inflame public opinion against the Germans, Condor Legion pilots were puzzled, because they never bombed Guernica. Their targets had been confined to Republican strongholds around the nearby city of Bilbao. Although Guernica’s civilian dead were real enough, they had in fact been butchered by Communist hit squads, who transformed their own atrocities into anti-Fascist propaganda. They were aided and abetted, of course, by the largely sympathetic world press, whose readers were [not] allowed an opportunity to learn about contrary evidence from [either] the Germans [or] the international Red Cross (p. 33-34).

America: “Brimming with the Jewish Spirit”

Numerous Americans have been able to see the extent of the power wielded against the alleged enemies of America through such Jewish socio-political vehicles as the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, AIPAC, JINSA, the Jewish Defense League, and the American Jewish Congress (AJC). A recent article in The Economist pointed out the extent of the power of the AIPAC Lobby on America’s foreign policy and political life (AHRS, 2007). American public opinion was at that time, and continues to be, largely guided by Jewish interests due to the undeniable fact that Jews owned controlling interest of nearly every American media outlet (Weltner, n.d.; also see Neumann’s unconvincing rebuttal of this charge here: http://www.counterpunch.org/neumann01072003.html).

In addition, former CIA director from 1993-1995 R. James Woolsey had stated the following:

I sometimes get asked these days if I’m Jewish—it’s my neoconish views on defense and foreign affairs, I suppose. For a while I would just say, ‘No, Presbyterian,’ but I’ve started saying instead, ‘Well, I anchor the Presbyterian wing of JINSA (the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs).

What with anti-Semitism growing in Europe and a hideous variety thereof metastasizing in the Middle East—not to speak of the American Left’s (and a small part of the Right’s) hostility to Israel, which sometimes veers off into anti-Semitism—it seems to me our Jewish friends could use a bit of solidarity these days. Today, the first day of Rosh Hashana, celebration of the Jewish New Year, is as good a time as any to explain why. …

… I’ve mainly been in synagogues for the bar mitzvas and bat mitzvas of friends’ children. The next time you are, notice what the object of veneration is—it is the Torah, the law itself. At a point in the service it is carried, lovingly, around the congregation, greeted as an old friend. I am convinced that it is this veneration of the law—with its status above the ruler—that is at the heart of anti-Semitism. …

Jews have almost always been the first target of tyrants [obvious allusion to Hitler], because their beliefs and religious practices, honed by nearly two millennia in Diaspora, clearly declare that in their view the law is above the ruler… We should all reflect upon the historic reality that when anti-Semitism raises its head, the rest of us, unless we are willing to live with a foot on our neck, will be the next targets.

Jewish humor, a distinctive barrier against any propensity to self-righteousness, permeates American culture. A number of times during the Cold War, I was involved in arms control negotiations with the Soviets. No matter how bad the tension across the negotiating table during the day, Russian and American negotiators would often end up going out for dinner together. Somehow, even in the most difficult periods, the conversation frequently turned to trading jokes. … (2003).

This excerpt from an article posted on the website of the Jerusalem Post is revealing in more ways than one.

First of all, Mr. Woolsey indicates that he has been completely won over to the Jewish ethos. He is so won over in fact that he deems it necessary to participate in Jewish cultural and religious affairs as evidenced in the above passage when he makes mention of attending the bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs of his friends. He even seems to feel that it is no longer acceptable for him to reply that he is simply a “Presbyterian” as evidenced in the first sentence of his article. One may want to just reflect on this for a moment and ask oneself, would a Jewish individual say, “I represent the Jewish wing of the Christian Coalition of America,” as opposed to, “Yes, I’m Jewish.” Furthermore, are there Christian Americans within the highest echelons of the Israeli intelligence and government, such as Mossad or even in the Knesset?

There are currently numerous Jews in the American Senate and House of Representatives, so why aren’t there Christians in the Israeli Knesset, especially given the special ‘friendship’ between the United States and Israel? It would seem that a set of true allies would want to integrate as much as possible to make the entire system of alliance function more smoothly and as efficiently as possible. It appears that Germany and Italy had shared more intelligence and had a better working alliance than the US and Israel currently have today (see Bormann’s Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-1944 or Ludecke’s I Knew Hitler for information on the Mussolini-Hitler alliance). As a matter of fact, as documented by A.V. Schaerffenberg (2003), Hitler had even sent his Japanese allies his atomic intelligence which was regrettably intercepted by the British en route. This was the only reason America developed the atomic bomb first—once again, they had stolen the intelligence of German minds and used it against innocent civilians (p. 156).

Secondly, Woolsey appears to have a greater political and social affinity for Israel than his own nation, which seems odd for a man who had directed the American CIA for two years.

Thirdly, Woolsey indicates that Jews have almost always been on the receiving end of tyranny, however he completely avoids whether it be cleverly or ignorantly the fact that the controlling interests behind Soviet tyranny, mass liquidation, collectivization, and oppression was largely Jewish (Strauss, 2003; Weber, 1994). He also neglects to acknowledge new evidence suggesting that in all probability Hitler had literally preempted Stalin by mere weeks (Michaels, 1999; Makow, 2007; Hoffmann, p. 26-30).

Was Hitler Really Responsible for Instigating War on the Eastern Front?

Before touching on my last point regarding Woolsey, let me briefly interject that according to renowned historian Joachim Hoffmann (2001):

According to Viktor Suvorov, August 19, 1939, was the date upon which Stalin started the Second World War (since this was the day Stalin ordered his surprise attack against the Japanese 6th Army at Khalkhin Gol). Professor Lev Kopelev made a similar statement on December 24, 1994; his phraseology is different, but no less clear: ‘In 1939, the World War was continued by the Hitlerite and Stalinist realms… on a new and monstrous scale’ (p. 30). …

The Point of departure of the present description is, as stated above, the fact—which is now indisputable—that Hitler, through the initiation of hostilities, just barely preempted a war of aggression prepared by Stalin. This indisputable scholarly fact is the rock upon which the hopes of our ideologues, in the truest sense of the word, are wrecked. Their arguments are null and void, but their doctrinaire blindness, nevertheless, remains (p. 23). …

A conference of the highest commanders of the Red Army under the Chairmanship of the People’s Commissar of Defense, Marshal of the Soviet Union Timoshenko, made the decision in December 1940 to conduct any future war as a war of attack. In January 1941, two large-scale staff war-game planning maneuvers of the top leadership cadres of the Red Army (also under the direction of the People’s Commissar of Defense and to some extent in the presence of Stalin and a few members of the Politburo) produced the first study for the execution for an offensive war against Germany (p. 54). …

What were the details of the Soviet General Staff’s plan? The above mentioned short ‘Credo of Attack’ ran as follows: ‘When one considers that Germany keeps its army mobile through the installation of rear support services, then it can preempt us [predupredit, with double underlining by General Vatutin] during deployment, and carry out a surprise attack.’ … As a perceptive observer, Pourray, has remarked, if the Soviet General Staff feared that the Germans might preempt the Red army, this must have been because the Russians were already doing something that the Germans needed to preempt (p. 59).

As the above passages indicate, Hitler was not the sole aggressor of the Second World War; moreover, he truly had launched a preemptive war against the Soviet Union, which exposes the Americans and Britons for what they were for illegally entering that justified preemptive strike: war criminals and aggressors. So, the Americans and Britons, along with their Jewish agitators, had not acted against Hitler in defense; rather, they acted aggressively just as they had against Iraq in 2003, and just as they may yet against Iran this year.

For those who remain in doubt as to Stalin’s responsibility for World War II, perhaps a report of 31 August 2007 ought to suffice as sufficient evidence in support of this accusation. According to reporter Tom Segev, new inquiry into the responsibility for the Second World War has revealed some rather interesting, aside from disturbing, results. Segev has concluded, in the following report, that Stalin was responsible for the Second World War. I had come to the same conclusion, in this very dissertation as a matter of fact, though with greater reserve (see H.W. Koch’s study “Barbarossa: The Current State of the Debate”).

Segev has reported the following:

MISCHA Shauli sat at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., completely beside himself. It had been years since the first time he heard about the existence of a document said to prove that Stalin, not Hitler, bore the main responsibility for World War II, and for years he had searched for it with all his skills as a professional detective.

Shauli’s last position was as Commander Shauli, Representative of the Israel Police in Russia. Previous to that he had been head of the police fraud investigation unit for the Southern District.

A few years ago Shauli read “Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War” by Bogdan Rozen. Rozen, who now lives in England, wrote it under the pseudonym of Viktor Suvorov. Shauli, impressed by the book, translated it into Hebrew and saw to its publication here.

From out of the sea of details, a coherent thesis emerges: Stalin dragged Hitler into war to force Europe into chaos and facilitate a communist revolution on the continent. According to Shauli, there is evidence to back up this theory, including a speech by Stalin himself as well as a report obtained by the U.S. Consulate in Prague. The report has been mentioned here and there over the years, but it has never been published, because no one knows where it is today.

Shauli, 59, believed that the definitive evidence was out there, hiding somewhere. He believed, and did not give up, repeatedly setting out to find it, going as far as Washington. No one is happier than he is today: The document is in his possession, and now the history of World War II may have to be rewritten: It was Stalin’s fault.

The document, from October 1939, consists of three pages in English that purportedly reflect a dialogue in Moscow between a delegation from Czechoslovakia and a senior Soviet Foreign Ministry official. The Czechs tried to find out why the U.S.S.R. had signed the nonaggression treaty with Nazi Germany, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939. A few days later the Germans invaded Poland, and World War II began.

The Soviet official, Alexandrov by name, explained to the Czech delegation that had the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the West, Hitler would not have dared to launch a war, and without that war there would have been no possibility of imposing communism in Europe. He also listed the benefits to the Soviet Union of the pact with Nazi Germany, and of the war.

The veracity of the document must be proved, and even if it turns out to be genuine, its significance is worthy of debate. Mischa Shauli is continuing his investigation. No, he said this week, he does not fear that shifting responsibility for the war from Hitler to Stalin “acquits” Hitler; he is responsible for other crimes (2007).

Let us now return to our analysis of Woolsey’s article.

Lastly, he neglects to mention the Jews’ extreme religious persecution of Christians in Soviet Russia (Makow, n.d.).

Unfounded Suffering to Get their Way

In light of the evidence, Woolsey’s baseless assumption—Jews are the “first target” of tyranny—requires qualification, especially if the American public is expected to rely upon him and people like him as a credible source when it comes to the legitimacy and necessity of an Israeli-American alliance. Clearly he does not concern himself with evidence that might serve to make him think a little more critically about what his Jewish friends tell him. He has also claimed that when anti-Semitism “raises its head” Americans can expect to “be the next targets.” This is an argument which is wholly illogical when one looks at it critically. It is a logical fallacy. Why would anti-Semitism put Americans of non-Jewish descent in peril?

Last but not least, Woolsey closes his article by claiming “We’re all Jews in America” which is certain to raise at least a few brows as to its legitimacy. It seems Mr. Woolsey needs to learn how to analyze evidence and speak for himself.

Mosesson, like Woolsey, has decided that the J.W.V., unlike the non-Jewish American organizations, was “farsighted,” morally courageous, and all of these other praiseworthy things without having truly examined the reality of the situation in Germany at the time. As I have shown in the account of Schaerffenberg, and there are numerous others, the alleged atrocities against the Jewish people in Germany were either fraudulent or grossly exaggerated most of the time. Ingrid Weckert (1985) has also discussed the exaggeration of the suffering of the Jews under Hitler (see http://www.vho.org/GB/Journals/JHR/6/2/Weckert183-206.html).

It might not be a bad idea to recount the words of American Doug Brinkley (2001) on his visit to Hitler’s Germany:

… I have visited the concentration camps in Germany. In the camp at Oranienburg, about twenty English miles out of Berlin, I found 187 prisoners—not 1500 as Lord Marley claims. Two guards with rifles stood in front of the gate, but there were no machine-guns. I found totally modern, sanitary facilities and not, as has been claimed, ‘just a single water pump in the courtyard with old pails for the use of individual prisoners.’ The sleeping rooms were not ‘ruins made with some dirty straw covering concrete floors,’ rather they were just as good and clean as the sleeping rooms of many army barracks I have seen in America.

I could see that many false claims had been made. For example, the prisoners receive the same food as the commandant of the camp and the National Socialist guards—three plentiful means each day, naturally without luxury. They have two free hours for relaxation and exercises. If they behave well, they may have two visits each month from relatives or friends. One will be amazed—as I was indeed myself surprised—that I did not find a single Jew in this concentration camp; the prisoners were mostly communists. I had been invited to join a group of journalists and other official visitors who were to visit the Oranienburg concentration camp. But I declined, because there were rumors that the conditions in the camp had been altered for such visits.  … I therefore got special permission from the police and picked another day at random to go to Oranienburg unannounced. I drove the twenty miles in a common taxi. There were no other visitors there that day. …

… I talked with many prisoners. Their answers were essentially the same. The first prisoner I spoke to was a communist. He spoke English and read foreign papers. He said: ‘My whole life I always had too little time—now I have too much.’ Another said: ‘Aside from the loss of my freedom, I have nothing to complain about.’ A group of prisoners further commented, ‘We are well treated, as prisoners can just expect to be.’ They told me they were never hit, that no mistreatment occurred and that order and discipline prevailed in the camp (p. 20-21).

Some individuals may require more evidence than what Brinkley has offered here and I have just the evidence—from a scurrilous source nonetheless!

According to Oranienburg inmate Kurt Ludecke (1937):

… After the usual routine, plus a primitive but welcome shower-bath, I was locked up alone in a cell somewhat larger than the Alex cell. Altogether my new home was friendlier. The window, though barred, was wider; there was a real little table and a cupboard, a wash-basin and a shoebrush, and a bunk which folded against the wall. There was a single mattress—luxury! The walls mercifully were white with only a lower dado of grey.

For a few hours I was almost happy. And there hung the prison rules of the old regime, still in force. Yes, here was Prussian order: bed-clothing changed twice a month, a fresh towel every week, and rules for everything—church services, prison library, writing, visitors, cell-cleaning, and so forth. Here the prisoner had a few privileges, however modest. … [W]e were not required to work and had the privilege of buying tobacco, food, and little extras through the commissary. I read as many newspapers as I wanted. The food was meager and simple, but eatable, and I sustained myself pretty well with the extras I bought. … Except for the Freigang—half an hour in the morning and afternoon in the recreation yard, a large compound with some elms and apple trees—we were left completely to ourselves (p. 687-688).

These various accounts ought to put to rest the inundating accounts of unleashed German brutality against prisoners and Jews. There are numerous “holocaust survivor” accounts which, remarkably, espouse these same decent realities, so one would do well to consult those works as well. Now, let us once again return to the account of the Jewish boycott against Germany.

Mosesson (1971) goes on to note:

It is interesting to note some of the consequences of the boycott and corollary work. For instance, by November 1933, Woolworth’s had already discontinued the sale of some three hundred fifty items imported from Germany. J.W.V. petitioned the United States Olympic Committee not to participate in the upcoming 1936 Olympics, scheduled to be held in Berlin. This was an ongoing struggle, and by 1935, the American Legion was cooperating with the J.W.V. in opposing United States entry in the games.

But perhaps the most important aspect of the entire program was its impact in awakening the Jewish and American communities to the threat of Nazi Germany, not only to Jews, but to all freedom-loving peoples. It was the avowed aim of the Nazis to spread their totalitarian doctrines throughout the United States, through such groups as William Pelley’s Silver Shirts, the Christian Front, the German-American Bund, and the preachings of Father Coughlin, Gerald L.K. Smith, and others like them. Not only did J.W.V., as an organization, root out and publicly expose these dangerous policies, but individual members fought them in various ways (p. 47-48).

Jewish Lies then Similar to those of Today

Mosesson has made a mistake in assuming that Pelley was pro-Hitler, as he himself had stated that Hitler’s ideology was not necessarily the right kind for Americans (Pelley, n.d.). Indeed, Pelley appears to have been anti-Jewish due to his own personal experiences with Jewish power in America; so, to act as though his anti-Jewish inclinations were a direct result of Hitler’s anti-Jewish inclinations would need a great deal more evidentiary support than Mosesson has provided. Furthermore, Hitler cannot possibly be held accountable for the activities and beliefs of such fascists as Oswald Mosley, Louis Beam, or any others for that matter. Jews like Mosesson make the incorrect assumption that all fascism is somehow connected, but that could not be further from the truth. Perhaps the international fascist movements of the time were connected on an ideological level, but to see them as one unified international movement would be to mistakenly apply the standards and measures of the Jewish international boycott against Germany to those gentile fascist movements of the era. Gentiles do not engage in international movements to the same extent as Jews do, and this can most easily be proven by simply studying the 1933 boycott, or even the modern day ‘war on terror’ which is a phantasm supported by myriad Jewish interests throughout the world, as well as the theories and activities of related Jewish think tanks like the ADL, JINSA, and AIPAC (MacGregor, 2005; See also http://nowarforisrael.com/ and http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/newscontent.php3?artid=12229].

On March 24, 2006, Jewish Week war correspondent James Besser reported the following:

As Iraq careens toward civil war, and public disillusionment with the conflict grows at home, a new report on the pro-Israel lobby published by Harvard’s prestigious Kennedy School of Government could revive charges of Jewish and pro-Israel complicity in the war.

Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the report’s claim that Jewish and pro-Israel groups played a major role in pressing for the Iraq war in 2003 could ‘give these views new credibility.’

‘We have always been concerned that those opposed to the war have tried to portray it as a Jewish war, an Israeli war,’ Foxman said. ‘Our concern has been that if the war went badly, and there was more public disillusionment, these kinds of conspiracy theories could resurface and grow.’

That, he said, is ‘exactly what’s happening now’ as the Harvard report races around the world on antiwar and anti-Israel web sites.

‘The charge isn’t new,’ said Martin Raffel, associate director of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. ‘But this is Harvard and the University of Chicago we’re talking about; it’s the credibility of the writers. Twenty years from now, when academics are studying these issues, they will go back to these sources. It becomes part of the canon.’

The report comes against the backdrop of a deteriorating situation in Iraq — and as the Bush administration suggests its tough stand against Iran is based heavily on concerns about Israel’s safety.

On Monday, President George W. Bush said that ‘the threat from Iran is, of course, their stated objective to destroy our strong ally Israel. … It’s a threat to world peace [?]. It’s a threat, in essence, to a strong alliance.’

A longtime pro-Israel leader said that ‘once again the administration is hiding behind Israel’s skirts to justify its policies. That’s dangerous, because it reinforces these anti-Semites who will say it’s an Israel-driven policy. It’s an attempt to neutralize the left by suggesting that if they oppose his Iran policies, they’re anti-Israel.’

The study, part of Harvard’s ‘Working Papers’ series, was written by Harvard professor Stephen Walt and University of Chicago scholar John Mearsheimer, co-director of the school’s program on International Security Policy. Both are regarded as top international affairs scholars.

Walt has written critically on ‘unconditional’ U.S. support for Israel and on the pro-Israel lobby; Mearsheimer was a signer and defender of a letter arguing that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon might use the ‘fog of war’ when the Iraq war began to ‘commit further crimes against the Palestinian people, up to full-fledged ethnic cleansing.’

Upon reading this excerpt we can clearly see that Jewish interests are playing a pivotal role in the alleged ‘war on terror’ supposedly being waged to secure the safety of Americans in America. That is a lie. This war is being waged to secure the safety of Jews in Israel and possibly also those Jews living outside of Israel. In light of the evidence, one may safely state that there is an historical parallel between the Jewish role in the strained relations between Americans and Germans during the 1930s-1940s and the present-day strained relations between Americans and Iranians. The Jews had also played a significant role in creating strained relations between America and Iraq prior to America’s unwarranted invasion and occupation of that country. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, America perceived Nazism as terrorism primarily because Jews had painted such a portrait for American consumption in the American media and press (Walendy, 1987). An American paper, according to Ludecke, had even labeled Hitler a “terrorist” (p. 531).

Mosesson (1971) goes on to say:

German-American-Bund-Rally-1939

1939 German-American Bund rally.

…J.W.V. members were always quick to point out to onlookers that when the German-American Bund marched, only German flags were displayed, not American ones. When J.W.V. members attended meetings, like the American Legion, this was again quietly pointed out—and so was the ever-present Nazi salute. The Nazis’ aggressive warlike hate-mongering statements were also publicized in appropriate ways. And the American community began to get the message—Hitler was not only bad for Jews; he was bad for America (p. 48-49).

Let me briefly ask why it is that the ADL and the Jewish war veterans of today are not raising their voices against Mexican flags being donned at pro-Mexican/anti-American rallies? This is yet another example of Jewish bigotry. The Jews must perceive a ‘Nazi’ threat; otherwise, they will defend the perpetrators in question. The Jews are usually quick to defend unless they perceive those to be defended as ‘Nazis’ hostile to Jewish-specific interests, even if those ‘Nazis’ are pro-American. The question ought to be asked, are Americans Israeli or are they American?

Here again we encounter the J.W.V. selling Americans on the idea that Hitler and Nazism was under their beds and that they had better do something about it. This is almost identical, if not identical, to the Jewish media frenzy which is constantly whipped-up over the most insignificant statements and/or actions of a few isolated Muslims in America or abroad. In order for Jewish interests to prevail, Americans must be sold on the idea that Muslims and Islam in general are dangerous and “bad for America,” to use Mosesson’s own rhetoric.

Out of the Ashes

Out of the Ashes

“Seen through the eyes of a child, the lives of real people in a world gone mad, gives this book its character. Where else can you experience the days and nights of innocent children caught in a nightmare, considering life in wartime as “normal”. Picture mothers separated from their children in the name of safety, thereby putting these children into other, unforeseen dangers. Imagine a group of school children, considered wards of the state and therefore under the full protection of the Hitler government, fleeing from the advancing Russian army in sub-zero degree weather.  See them walking for days, with backpacks, and finally hitching a ride on open freight cars of a military train. Consider that seeing a Russian propaganda movie in East Berlin was preferable [to] watching an American flick in the West, just because the theater in the East was heated.  Ride on top of freight cars into the countryside, searching for food, trading family treasures for a sack of potatoes. 

“Join West Berliners in their stand  against communism despite cold and hunger. From cover to cover these stories will amaze you. Written with a sense of humor, this book will capture your attention and keep you riveted.”

Has historian finally discovered real reason for Hitler’s obsessive hatred of Jews?

The news media is also the Tao of deception.

The news media is also the Tao of deception.

by Allan Hall

Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1194194/Has-historian-finally-real-reason-Hitlers-obsessive-hatred-Jews.html

Adolf Hitler’s obsessive hatred for Jews was sparked by his experiences after World War One, according to a new book.

AHRS: That’s odd. If Hitler really “hated” Jewish people so much, then why were about 150,000 of them fighting in his ranks? Erhard Milch and Bernhard Rogge were prominent Jews Hitler relied upon until the end of his life. They survived the war, but Hitler did not.

Respected historian Ralf-George Reuth argues the dictator blamed them for both the Russian revolution and the collapse of the German economy.

The claim is a stark contrast to previous theories that Hitler’s anti-Semitism was spawned on the back streets of Vienna when he was a down-and-out in the lead up to 1914.

Historians have even speculated that he was partly-Jewish himself – or even that his mother died at the hands of an inept Jewish physician.

Reuth argues that what was probably lower middle-class bigotry shared by many at the time, morphed into murderous hatred for Hitler after 1919.

At the time almost half of all German private banks were Jewish owned, the stock exchange dominated by Jewish stockbrokers, almost half of the nation’s newspapers were Jewish run as were 80 per cent of chain stores.

It became fashionable to decry the loss of the war on Jewish financiers. 

But Hitler, according to Reuth, also blamed Jews for the Russian revolution, citing Leon Trotsky’s faith, as well as that of Marx whose theories he followed and even Lenin, who was one-quarter Jewish.

When a Soviet republic was declared briefly in Munich that year, argues Reuth, the die was cast for Hitler to demonise the Jews as bearing responsibility for the world’s ills.

‘With World War One lost and Germany in financial ruin, with revolution threatening, he came to see the Jews as solely responsible for stock-exchange capitalism, which caused acute poverty and suffering when it faltered, and Bolshevism,’ said Reuth.

‘These two events were pivotal in shaping his views of Jews and his subsequent plan to murder them all.

‘He bought into the rumours and the whispers that blamed Jewish capitalists for stabbing Germany in the back.

‘Then he saw that many Jews played prominent roles in the brief Soviet republic founded in Munich in 1919, against everything Hitler the nationalist stood for.

‘The two events, together with the Russian revolution, coalesced to turn them, in his mind, into scapegoats for everything.

‘But it was only after World War One, not before. I show that he had many Jewish acquaintances in Vienna, despite his writing in Mein Kampf that he was sickened by the sight of the Jews he saw there.’

Reuth draws on a wealth of archival material showing how Hitler fed off the intellectuals of the day to shape his belief.

He quotes Nobel prize-winning novelist Thomas Mann who wrote in 1919 that he equated the Bolshevik revolution in Russia with the Jews.

Ernst Nolte, a Berlin historian, expounded this theory over 20 years ago in a paper that was not given much credit at the time.

Reuth is a distinguished Nazi-era biographer who wrote an acclaimed book about Third Reich propaganda master Josef Goebbels.

Moroccan veterans of Spanish civil war spark controversy

Rabat/Madrid – Moroccans were known as some of the fiercest fighters among the troops of right-wing General Francisco Franco in Spain’s 1936-39 civil war. But 70 years later, Moroccan campaigners see Franco’s “Moorish troops” as victims and seek an investigation to establish “the truth” about their fate.

Moroccans who fought for Franco were often recruited by force, says Abdesslam Boutayeb, president of the Moroccan Centre for Common Memory and the Future (CMCA), which is trying to raise the issue with Spain.

The Nazis got along well with the black anti-Communists in Spain.

The Nazis got along well with the black anti-Communists in Spain.

Spanish historian Maria Rosa de Madariaga, however, questions such views, saying Moroccans joined Franco’s troops voluntarily and that they cannot be compared with Franco’s opponents killed in reprisals during the war and the general’s ensuing 36-year dictatorship.

When Franco set out to topple Spain’s republican government, he launched his uprising from Morocco, the north of which was a Spanish protectorate at the time.

An estimated 80,000 Moroccans were recruited to fight alongside Francoists in the war, which claimed about 500,000 lives before the republicans were defeated.

The Moroccan soldiers had a savage reputation and were greatly feared, as was Franco’s personal Moorish Guard after the war.

Francoists spread stories about the Moroccans’ cruelty to frighten their opponents, Moroccan researcher Boughaleb El Attar writes in the Spanish daily El Pais.

The stories, which El Attar sees as having a racist component, contributed to a negative image of Moroccans that still lingers in Spain to this day.

Franco’s Moroccan soldiers were usually poor inhabitants of the northern mountainous Rif region, who joined the general’s troops to be fed and to get a salary, according to testimonies of war veterans.

Despite Catholicism forming an important part of his nationalist ideology, Franco did not hesitate to recruit Muslims to whom he presented his uprising as a joint Christian-Muslim fight against godless “reds.”

The Moroccans joined a foreign war the real causes of which they knew nothing about, El Attar writes.

Many of the Moroccans were recruited against their will, Boutayeb told the German Press Agency dpa. De Madariaga – author of a book on the subject – disagrees.

In an article she wrote for El Pais, de Madariaga also doubts Moroccan claims that the Moroccan soldiers included 10,000 children.

The CMCA wants to take advantage of Spain’s 2007 Law of Historic Memory, which seeks to restore the dignity of Franco’s forgotten republican victims.

Measures include support to groups digging up remains of republicans from mass graves.

The mass graves are also believed to contain bones of Moroccan soldiers, tens of thousands of whom went missing in the war, according to figures given by Boutayeb.

The CMCA has the backing of the National Rally of Independents (RNI), one of the main parties in Morocco’s coalition government, though the government as such has remained silent on the subject.

Spanish political parties are also not keen to discuss what Emilio Silva describes as a “complicated and delicate subject.”

Silva represents the Association for the Recovery of Historic Memory (ARMH), the biggest group exhuming republican remains from mass graves.

The Moroccan soldiers “supported a coup” backed by fascist Italy and Germany against Spain’s legal government, and “came here to kill people,” Silva told dpa.

“They were given pensions, while the republicans got nothing,” he complains.

Most observers, however, agree that the pensions now received by about 2,000 Moroccan war veterans or widows are miserably small.

Although the Franco regime fixed the level of the pensions in an “irrevocable” decision, it would be fair for the Moroccans to get the same – much higher – amount of pension money that Spanish war veterans get, de Madariaga wrote.

To Those Who Say the Matrix Financed Hitler

Adolf the Great.

Adolf the Great.

Many people take joy in saying Wall Street and Jewish bankers “financed Hitler.” There is plenty of documented evidence that Wall Street and Jewish bankers did indeed help finance Hitler at first, partly because it allowed the bankers to get rich (as I will describe below) and partly in order to control Stalin. However, when Germany broke free from the bankers, the bankers declared a world war against Germany.

When we look at all the facts, the charge that “Jews financed Hitler” becomes irrelevant. Los Angeles Attorney Ellen Brown discusses this topic in her book Web of Debt…

When Hitler came to power, Germany was hopelessly broke. The Treaty of Versailles had imposed crushing reparations on the German people, demanding that Germans repay every nation’s costs of the war. These costs totaled three times the value of all the property in Germany.

Private currency speculators caused the German mark to plummet, precipitating one of the worst runaway inflations in modern times. A wheelbarrow full of 100 billion-mark banknotes could not buy a loaf of bread. The national treasury was empty. Countless homes and farms were lost to speculators and to private (Jewish controlled) banks. Germans lived in hovels. They were starving.

Nothing like this had ever happened before – the total destruction of the national currency, plus the wiping out of people’s savings and businesses.  On top of this came a global depression.  Germany had no choice but to succumb to debt slavery under international (mainly Jewish) bankers until 1933, when the National Socialists came to power. At that point the German government thwarted the international banking cartels by issuing its own money. World Jewry responded by declaring a global boycott against Germany.

Hitler began a national credit program by devising a plan of public works that included flood control, repair of public buildings and private residences, and construction of new roads, bridges, canals, and port facilities. All these were paid for with money that no longer came from the private international bankers.

The projected cost of these various programs was fixed at one billion units of the national currency. To pay for this, the German government (not the international bankers) issued bills of exchange, called Labor Treasury Certificates. In this way the National Socialists put millions of people to work, and paid them with Treasury Certificates.

Under the National Socialists, Germany’s money wasn’t backed by gold (which was owned by the international bankers). It was essentially a receipt for labor and materials delivered to the government. Hitler said, “For every mark issued, we required the equivalent of a mark’s worth of work done, or goods produced.” The government paid workers in Certificates. Workers spent those Certificates on other goods and services, thus creating more jobs for more people. In this way the German people climbed out of the crushing debt imposed on them by the international bankers.

Within two years, the unemployment problem had been solved, and Germany was back on its feet. It had a solid, stable currency, with no debt, and no inflation, at a time when millions of people in the United States and other Western countries (controlled by international bankers) were still out of work.  Within five years, Germany went from the poorest nation in Europe to the richest.

Germany even managed to restore foreign trade, despite the international bankers’ denial of foreign credit to Germany, and despite the global boycott by Jewish-owned industries. Germany succeeded in this by exchanging equipment and commodities directly with other countries, using a barter system that cut the bankers out of the picture. Germany flourished, since barter eliminates national debt and trade deficits. (Venezuela does the same thing today when it trades oil for commodities, plus medical help, and so on. Hence the bankers are trying to squeeze Venezuela.)

Germany’s economic freedom was short-lived; but it left several monuments, including the famous Autobahn, the world’s first extensive superhighway.

Hjalmar Schacht, a Rothschild agent who was temporarily head of the German central bank,  summed it up thus… An American banker had commented, “Dr. Schacht, you should come to America. We’ve lots of money and that’s real banking.” Schacht replied, “You should come to Berlin. We don’t have money. That’s real banking.” (Schacht, the Rothschild agent, actually supported the private international bankers against Germany, and was rewarded by having all charges against him dropped at the Nuremberg trials.)

This economic freedom made Hitler extremely popular with the German people.  Germany was rescued from English economic theory, which says that all currency must be borrowed against the gold owned by a private and secretive banking cartel — such as the Federal Reserve, or the Central Bank of Europe — rather than issued by the government for the benefit of the people.

Canadian researcher Dr. Henry Makow (who is Jewish himself) says the main reason why the bankers arranged for a world war against Germany was that Hitler sidestepped the bankers by creating his own money, thereby freeing the German people. Worse, this freedom and prosperity threatened to spread to other nations. Hitler had to be stopped!

Makow quotes from the 1938 interrogation of C. G. Rakovsky, one of the founders of Soviet Bolsevism and a Trotsky intimate. Rakovsky was tried in show trials in the USSR under Stalin. According to Rakovsky, Hitler was at first funded by the international bankers, through the bankers’ agent Hjalmar Schacht. The bankers financed Hitler in order to control Stalin, who had usurped power from their agent Trotsky. Then Hitler became an even bigger threat than Stalin when Hitler started printing his own money. (Stalin came to power in 1922, which was eleven years before Hitler came to power.)

Rakovsky said:

“Hitler took over the privilege of manufacturing money, and not only physical moneys, but also financial ones. He took over the machinery of falsification and put it to work for the benefit of the people. Can you possibly imagine what would have come if this had infected a number of other states?” (Henry Makow, “Hitler Did Not Want War,” www.savethemales.com March 21, 2004).

Economist Henry C K Liu writes of Germany’s remarkable transformation:

“The Nazis came to power in 1933 when the German economy was in total collapse, with ruinous war-reparation obligations and zero prospects for foreign investment or credit. Through an independent monetary policy of sovereign credit and a full-employment public-works program, the Third Reich was able to turn a bankrupt Germany, stripped of overseas colonies, into the strongest economy in Europe within four years, even before armament spending began.” (Henry C. K. Liu, “Nazism and the German Economic Miracle,” Asia Times (May 24, 2005).

In Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People (1984), Sheldon Emry commented:

“Germany issued debt-free and interest-free money from 1935 on, which accounts for Germany’s startling rise from the depression to a world power in five years. The German government financed its entire operations from 1935 to 1945 without gold, and without debt. It took the entire Capitalist and Communist world to destroy the German revolution, and bring Europe back under the heel of the Bankers.”

These facts do not appear in any textbooks today, since Jews own most publishing companies. What does appear is the disastrous runaway inflation suffered in 1923 by the Weimar Republic, which governed Germany from 1919 to 1933. Today’s textbooks use this inflation to twist truth into its opposite. They cite the radical devaluation of the German mark as an example of what goes wrong when governments print their own money, rather than borrow it from private cartels. 

In reality, the Weimar financial crisis began with the impossible reparations payments imposed at the Treaty of Versailles. Hjalmar Schacht [who was never a Nazi Party member either and now it appears clear why that was the case] – the Rothschild agent who was currency commissioner for the Republic — opposed letting the German government print its own money…

“The Treaty of Versailles is a model of ingenious measures for the economic destruction of Germany.  Germany could not find any way of holding its head above the water, other than by the inflationary expedient of printing bank notes.”

Schacht echoes the textbook lie that Weimar inflation was caused when the German government printed its own money.  However, in his 1967 book The Magic of Money, Schacht let the cat out of the bag by revealing that it was the PRIVATELY-OWNED Reichsbank, not the German government, that was pumping new currency into the economy. Thus, the PRIVATE BANK caused the Weimar hyper-inflation.

Like the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Reichsbank was overseen by appointed government officials, but was operated for private gain. What drove the wartime inflation into hyperinflation was speculation by foreign investors, who sold the mark short, betting on its decreasing value. In the manipulative device known as the short sale, speculators borrow something they don’t own, sell it, and then “cover” by buying it back at the lower price.

Speculation in the German mark was made possible because the PRIVATELY OWNED Reichsbank (not yet under Nazi control) made massive amounts of currency available for borrowing. This currency, like U.S. currency today, was created with accounting entries on the bank’s books. Then the funny-money was lent at compound interest. When the Reichsbank could not keep up with the voracious demand for marks, other private banks were allowed to create marks out of nothing, and to lend them at interest. The result was runaway debt and inflation.

Thus, according to Schacht himself, the German government did not cause the Weimar hyperinflation. On the contrary, the government (under the National Socialists) got hyperinflation under control. The National Socialists put the Reichsbank under strict government regulation, and took prompt corrective measures to eliminate foreign speculation. One of those measures was to eliminate easy access to funny-money loans from private banks. Then Hitler got Germany back on its feet by having the public government issue Treasury Certificates.

Schacht , the Rothschild agent, disapproved of this government fiat money, and wound up getting fired as head of the Reichsbank when he refused to issue it. Nonetheless, he acknowledged in his later memoirs that allowing the government to issue the money it needed did not produce the price inflation predicted by classical economic theory, which says that currency must be borrowed from private cartels.

What causes hyper-inflation is uncontrolled speculation. When speculation is coupled with debt (owed to private banking cartels) the result is disaster. On the other hand, when a government issues currency in carefully measured ways, it causes supply and demand to increase together, leaving prices unaffected. Hence there is no inflation, no debt, no unemployment, and no need for income taxes.

Naturally this terrifies the bankers, since it eliminates their powers. It also terrifies Jews, since their control of banking allows them to buy the media, the government, and everything else.

Therefore, to those who delight in saying “Jews financed Hitler,” I ask that they please look at all the facts.

The Russians raped every German female from eight to 80

AHRS Adler

AHRS Adler

Wednesday May 1, 2002

Source: The Guardian

Synopsis: Antony Beevor, author of the acclaimed new book about the fall of Berlin, on a massive war crime committed by the victorious Red Army.

“Red Army soldiers don’t believe in ‘individual liaisons’ with German women,” wrote the playwright Zakhar Agranenko in his diary when serving as an officer of marine infantry in East Prussia. “Nine, ten, twelve men at a time – they rape them on a collective basis.”

The Soviet armies advancing into East Prussia in January 1945, in huge, long columns, were an extraordinary mixture of modern and medieval: tank troops in padded black helmets, Cossack cavalrymen on shaggy mounts with loot strapped to the saddle, lend-lease Studebakers and Dodges towing light field guns, and then a second echelon in horse-drawn carts. The variety of character among the soldiers was almost as great as that of their military equipment. There were freebooters who drank and raped quite shamelessly, and there were idealistic, austere communists and members of the intelligentsia appalled by such behaviour.

Beria and Stalin, back in Moscow, knew perfectly well what was going on from a number of detailed reports. One stated that “many Germans declare that all German women in East Prussia who stayed behind were raped by Red Army soldiers”. Numerous examples of gang rape were given – “girls under 18 and old women included”.

Marshal Rokossovsky issued order No 006 in an attempt to direct “the feelings of hatred at fighting the enemy on the battlefield.” It appears to have had little effect. There were also a few arbitrary attempts to exert authority. The commander of one rifle division is said to have “personally shot a lieutenant who was lining up a group of his men before a German woman spreadeagled on the ground”. But either officers were involved themselves, or the lack of discipline made it too dangerous to restore order over drunken soldiers armed with submachine guns.

Calls to avenge the Motherland, violated by the Wehrmacht’s invasion, had given the idea that almost any cruelty would be allowed. Even many young women soldiers and medical staff in the Red Army did not appear to disapprove. “Our soldiers’ behaviour towards Germans, particularly German women, is absolutely correct!” said a 21-year-old from Agranenko’s reconnaissance detachment. A number seemed to find it amusing. Several German women recorded how Soviet servicewomen watched and laughed when they were raped. But some women were deeply shaken by what they witnessed in Germany. Natalya Gesse, a close friend of the scientist Andrei Sakharov, had observed the Red Army in action in 1945 as a Soviet war correspondent. “The Russian soldiers were raping every German female from eight to eighty,” she recounted later. “It was an army of rapists.”

Drink of every variety, including dangerous chemicals seized from laboratories and workshops, was a major factor in the violence. It seems as if Soviet soldiers needed alcoholic courage to attack a woman. But then, all too often, they drank too much and, unable to complete the act, used the bottle instead with appalling effect. A number of victims were mutilated obscenely.

The subject of the Red Army’s mass rapes in Germany has been so repressed in Russia that even today veterans refuse to acknowledge what really happened. The handful prepared to speak openly, however, are totally unrepentant. “They all lifted their skirts for us and lay on the bed,” said the leader of one tank company. He even went on to boast that “two million of our children were born” in Germany.

The capacity of Soviet officers to convince themselves that most of the victims were either happy with their fate, or at least accepted that it was their turn to suffer after what the Wehrmacht had done in Russia, is striking. “Our fellows were so sex-starved,” a Soviet major told a British journalist at the time, “that they often raped old women of sixty, seventy or even eighty – much to these grandmothers’ surprise, if not downright delight.”

One can only scratch at the surface of the psychological contradictions. When gang-raped women in Königsberg begged their attackers afterwards to put them out of their misery, the Red Army men appear to have felt insulted. “Russian soldiers do not shoot women,” they replied. “Only German soldiers do that.” The Red Army had managed to convince itself that because it had assumed the moral mission to liberate Europe from fascism it could behave entirely as it liked, both personally and politically.

Domination and humiliation permeated most soldiers’ treatment of women in East Prussia. The victims not only bore the brunt of revenge for Wehrmacht crimes, they also represented an atavistic target as old as war itself. Rape is the act of a conqueror, the feminist historian Susan Brownmiller observed, aimed at the “bodies of the defeated enemy’s women” to emphasise his victory. Yet after the initial fury of January 1945 dissipated, the sadism became less marked. By the time the Red Army reached Berlin three months later, its soldiers tended to regard German women more as a casual right of conquest. The sense of domination certainly continued, but this was perhaps partly an indirect product of the humiliations which they themselves had suffered at the hands of their commanders and the Soviet authorities as a whole.

A number of other forces or influences were at work. Sexual freedom had been a subject for lively debate within Communist party circles during the 1920s, but during the following decade, Stalin ensured that Soviet society depicted itself as virtually asexual. This had nothing to do with genuine puritanism: it was because love and sex did not fit in with dogma designed to “deindividualise” the individual. Human urges and emotions had to be suppressed. Freud’s work was banned, divorce and adultery were matters for strong party disapproval. Criminal sanctions against homosexuality were reintroduced. The new doctrine extended even to the complete suppression of sex education. In graphic art, the clothed outline of a woman’s breasts was regarded as dangerously erotic. They had to be disguised under boiler suits. The regime clearly wanted any form of desire to be converted into love for the party and above all for Comrade Stalin.

Most ill-educated Red Army soldiers suffered from sexual ignorance and utterly unenlightened attitudes towards women. So the Soviet state’s attempts to suppress the libido of its people created what one Russian writer described as a sort of “barracks eroticism” which was far more primitive and violent than “the most sordid foreign pornography”. All this was combined with the dehumanising influence of modern propaganda and the atavistic, warring impulses of men marked by fear and suffering.

The novelist Vasily Grossman, a war correspondent attached to the invading Red Army, soon discovered that rape victims were not just Germans. Polish women also suffered. So did young Russian, Belorussian and Ukrainian women who had been sent back to Germany by the Wehrmacht for slave labour. “Liberated Soviet girls quite often complain that our soldiers rape them,” he noted. “One girl said to me in tears: ‘He was an old man, older than my father’.”

The rape of Soviet women and girls seriously undermines Russian attempts to justify Red Army behaviour on the grounds of revenge for German brutality in the Soviet Union. On March 29 1945 the central committee of the Komsomol (the youth organisation of the Soviet Union) informed Stalin’s associate Malenkov of a report from the 1st Ukrainian Front. “On the night of 24 February,” General Tsygankov recorded in the first of many examples, “a group of 35 provisional lieutenants on a course and their battalion commander entered the women’s dormitory in the village of Grutenberg and raped them.”

In Berlin, many women were simply not prepared for the shock of Russian revenge, however much horror propaganda they had heard from Goebbels. Many reassured themselves that, although the danger must be great out in the countryside, mass rapes could hardly take place in the city in front of everybody.

In Dahlem, Soviet officers visited Sister Kunigunde, the mother superior of Haus Dahlem, a maternity clinic and orphanage. The officers and their men behaved impeccably. In fact, the officers even warned Sister Kunigunde about the second-line troops following on behind. Their prediction proved entirely accurate. Nuns, young girls, old women, pregnant women and mothers who had just given birth were all raped without pity.

Yet within a couple of days, a pattern emerged of soldiers flashing torches in the faces of women huddled in the bunkers to choose their victims. This process of selection, as opposed to the indiscriminate violence shown earlier, indicates a definite change. By this stage Soviet soldiers started to treat German women more as sexual spoils of war than as substitutes for the Wehrmacht on which to vent their rage.

Rape has often been defined by writers on the subject as an act of violence which has little to do with sex. But that is a definition from the victim’s perspective. To understand the crime, one needs to see things from the perpetrator’s point of view, especially in the later stages when unaggravated rape had succeeded the extreme onslaught of January and February.

Many women found themselves forced to “concede” to one soldier in the hope that he would protect them from others. Magda Wieland, a 24-year-old actress, was dragged from a cupboard in her apartment just off the Kurfürstendamm. A very young soldier from central Asia hauled her out. He was so excited at the prospect of a beautiful young blonde that he ejaculated prematurely. By sign language, she offered herself to him as a girlfriend if he would protect her from other Russian soldiers, but he went off to boast to his comrades and another soldier raped her. Ellen Goetz, a Jewish friend of Magda’s, was also raped. When other Germans tried to explain to the Russians that she was Jewish and had been persecuted, they received the retort: “Frau ist Frau.”

Women soon learned to disappear during the “hunting hours” of the evening. Young daughters were hidden in storage lofts for days on end. Mothers emerged into the street to fetch water only in the early morning when Soviet soldiers were sleeping off the alcohol from the night before. Sometimes the greatest danger came from one mother giving away the hiding place of other girls in a desperate bid to save her own daughter. Older Berliners still remember the screams every night. It was impossible not to hear them because all the windows had been blown in.

Estimates of rape victims from the city’s two main hospitals ranged from 95,000 to 130,000. One doctor deduced that out of approximately 100,000 women raped in the city, some 10,000 died as a result, mostly from suicide. The death rate was thought to have been much higher among the 1.4 million estimated victims in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia. Altogether at least two million German women are thought to have been raped, and a substantial minority, if not a majority, appear to have suffered multiple rape.

If anyone attempted to defend a woman against a Soviet attacker it was either a father trying to defend a daughter or a young son trying to protect his mother. “The 13-year old Dieter Sahl,” neighbours wrote in a letter shortly after the event, “threw himself with flailing fists at a Russian who was raping his mother in front of him. He did not succeed in anything except getting himself shot.”

After the second stage of women offering themselves to one soldier to save themselves from others, came the post-battle need to survive starvation. Susan Brownmiller noted “the murky line that divides wartime rape from wartime prostitution”. Soon after the surrender in Berlin, Ursula von Kardorff found all sorts of women prostituting themselves for food or the alternative currency of cigarettes. Helke Sander, a German film-maker who researched the subject in great detail, wrote of “the grey area of direct force, blackmail, calculation and real affection”.

The fourth stage was a strange form of cohabitation in which Red Army officers settled in with German “occupation wives”. The Soviet authorities were appalled and enraged when a number of Red Army officers, intent on staying with their German lovers, deserted when it was time to return to the Motherland.

Even if the feminist definition of rape purely as an act of violence proves to be simplistic, there is no justification for male complacency. If anything, the events of 1945 reveal how thin the veneer of civilisation can be when there is little fear of retribution. It also suggests a much darker side to male sexuality than we might care to admit.

Bringing Down the Reich: The Allied Spies in Hitler’s Midst

 

AHRS Adler

AHRS Adler

This essay is part of an ongoing study by AHRS.

This unpublished essay is the sole intellectual property of AHRS. None of the original ideas contained herein may be reproduced in full or in part without attributing the credit to AHRS. This pertains especially to AHRS’s further development and validation of the Kilzer theory concerning the Red Orchestra and Martin Bormann.

Was the Role of the “Rote Kapelle” Decisive?

The role of Communist subversion in the fall of the Third Reich is, beyond a doubt, the most important one of the entire war. According to Historian Louis Kilzer (2000) Martin Bormann proved to be as detrimental to the Wehrmacht as some fifty Soviet divisions. It was Martin Bormann, known only as “Werther” to his fellow Red spies in Switzerland, who had betrayed not only Adolf Hitler and the German people, but who had also played a decisive role in at least some of the criminal liquidations of peoples in the eastern region during the war. The evidence clearly indicates that all of this was done without Hitler’s knowledge, though Kilzer would still like to believe, or at least suggest, that Hitler was the executor of the “cleansing” of Jews and Slavs in Eastern Europe. This analysis will prove otherwise. It will also demonstrate the pivotal role that just one Red Jewess played in bringing down the German empire.

According to Kilzer (2000):

Sometimes, Werther not only gave Moscow the highest secrets of the Reich but went on to tell the Center how best to interpret them: “As of 15 September Manstein’s army group can be regarded as beaten. In the period since 15 August it has lost half its equipment and heavy guns and 40 percent of its strength or a total of some 250,000 men.”

Werther’s service was unrelenting. On September 24, he reported: “Wehrmacht high command has decided to pull its eastern front supply organization back to and behind the ‘eastern rampart.’ This partially fortified line is the so-called tank-buster line planned in January.” The next day, he told the Center “In giving up Smolensk the Germans have lost their strongest focus of resistance on the Soviet-German front since Orel…”

Werther continued his services in October, telling Moscow: “The Germans are reckoning with very big war-material losses in the Vitebsk region. They have only the road to Polotsk for moving out their heavy stuff” (p. 212-213).

Response to Critics of Kilzer’s Bormann-Werther Hypothesis

Several respondents of the Kilzer hypothesis appear to be quite skeptical as to whether such a “zealous” Nazi as Martin Bormann could possibly be a Soviet plant. The most critical question these respondents are failing to ask is the following: Was Martin Bormann really the “zealous” Nazi he has been portrayed to have been? Upon a close examination of Jochen von Lang’s The Secretary, Richard Steigmann-Gall’s The Holy Reich, Bryan Rigg’s Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers, Bormann’s Hitler’s Table Talk, and Bormann’s own The Bormann Letters, a more critical inquirer would be sure to question that  assumption.

Martin Bormann continuously defied Hitler, especially with regards to Jewish and Mischling clemency applications and the Church Question. Furthermore, we know almost beyond a reasonable doubt that Bormann had altered portions of Hitler’s “table talks.” We also know beyond a doubt that Bormann held certain views which were in complete or nearly complete agreement with those of Marxist-Communism. Lastly, it does seem to be a bit odd that Bormann, who supposedly “loved” Hitler so very much and wanted only to “serve” him, was grappling for the chance at being his successor. It is also quite odd that Hitler’s good, obedient servant deliberately sowed the seeds of virulent hostility and tension between his fellow Nazis. It also seems odd that none of his letters to his wife convey even the slightest concern for fellow Nazis or for the couples’ potentially bleak future; indeed, it is almost as though he is sure of his own safety and security upon war’s end.

It may well be true that Bormann switched sides late—perhaps he played the “good Nazi” for awhile—but to try and claim that several individuals compiled the highly sensitive information which “Werther” passed on is highly questionable. You mean to say that not one of these people was caught or had snitched on one of the others? That is highly unlikely. It would have been much safer to employ just one spy—perhaps with his own personal informed or uninformed aid (i.e., Koeppen, Picker, Heim)—who was respectable enough to have climbed to the top and have donned the Party uniform. Bormann fit this role.

According to Historian Gilles Perrault (1969) uniformed Nazi officials were almost never suspected of espionage or any illegal activity for that matter. Such was the case with the Luftwaffe defector Harro Schulze-Boysen. Furthermore, it is very likely that the chosen spy would have been an ever-present yet nearly unnoticeable sort of character. Spies never want to draw attention to themselves, either in their appearance or actions. Bormann fits this characterization to the tee.

It is possible that the stenographers and/or other Nazi officials in OKW passed the most sensitive of military information to the Center under the code name Werther, but that scenario is improbable. All of the other Red Orchestra pseudonyms represented just a single spy, so why would Werther be any different? Yes, perhaps it was designed to throw off counterespionage agents just in case, but again, it deviates from the pattern established by every other sector of the Red Orchestra.

At this point, it is extremely important to mention that Historian Richard Steigmann-Gall (2003) has revealed that Martin Bormann never really appeared to be engaged with Nazi ideology so much as his own personal power politics of “divide and rule”. He reviled and battled with Christians, devout Nazis, longtime Party members and Nordic cultists alike. He never appears to have gone to great lengths, if any, to quell the Communist underground. In fact, he was sleeping with a known member. Von Lang’s account is riddled with Bormann’s hateful and slanderous remarks about the German Volk and its leadership. This all seems very odd for a man who might call himself a Nazi by any measure. Indeed, both Steigmann-Gall and Von Lang cannot evade discussing the fact that Bormann caused so much dissension between the various Nazi officials that many of them, including Speer and Goering, gave up entirely on even attempting to communicate with Hitler. The damage he did to Rosenberg and other respectable officials is truly astounding. Would a truly committed servant of Hitler’s do such things? Would a true Nazi work toward dissension within a wartime government or do everything in his power to try and unite it and keep it intact? It certainly does beg the question.

Jochen von Lang has not neglected to mention the many instances of Bormann decrees, withholdings, and orders that were in direct violation of Hitler’s orders or wishes; most of these orders and decrees inflicted great damage upon either Hitler himself or the image of the Reich. Why would an ardent ‘Hitler lover’ do such a thing? Bormann’s utter condemnation of Christianity and the Church are in agreement with Marxist ideology not Hitlerian ideology. He was so staunch in his views opposing Christianity that he actually took the time to edit or remove Hitler’s pro-Christian statements. That is odd behavior indeed. Why did it bother him so, especially when those statements were said by his “master” and Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler? Highly suspect indeed! Bormann was able to get Heinrich Lohse fired and had driven Gauleiter Josef Buerckel, “by Nazi standards one of the most deserving Party comrades,” to his death (Von Lang, p. 253). Oddly enough, Bormann’s view of women as birthing factories was also in stark contrast with Hitler’s and most other Nazis’ views of women and motherhood. As mentioned by von Lang (1979), Bormann had even admitted that he would love to have multiple wives.

As if the previous evidence was not enough to make even the most brutal of Nazis revile the man, Bormann remarkably believed in throwing German troops away as though they were a dime a dozen. According to Nicolaus von Below, Hitler had refused to even consider German kamikaze actions because he was concerned for keeping as many German troops alive as possible (p. 183). Hitler would minimize troop risks at all costs.

Bormann expressed repugnance and downright hatred for Poles and Jews. Additionally, he was of the opinion that “Slavs were slaves” and he challenged the opinions and recommendations of lenient Nazi officials as high up and respectable as Josef Goebbels on issues such as this. Oddly, Hitler expressed utter condemnation and outright disgust at how the Soviets had gunned-down hundreds of Polish officers in the Katyn Massacre [it is now known that there were tens-of-thousands of victims] (Von Below, p. 170). Hitler had actually expressed so much concern for this atrocity that he ordered that a medical commission of the Foreign Office be dispatched to investigate the brevity of this mass-scale war crime. Hitler’s expressed attitude and his actions indicate that he did not at all share Bormann’s views of Slavs and Poles.

Goebbels had written a report arguing that Slavs were to be won over and treated very well by the German occupiers. Rosenberg had actually been willing to “open the east to the Christian doctrine.” He wished to erect schools and re-open clergy services to the eastern peoples. Goebbels demanded that “a better future” be a guarantee to these people; yet, no word of any of these awesome plans ever reached Hitler’s desk. According to von Lang (1979) “Whatever news of such intentions reached headquarters Bormann carefully kept away from Hitler, and wherever that seemed too difficult he played off one author’s memorandum against another: Himmler was against the clergy; the military against any plan of giving arms to the vanquished; and when it came to granting special privileges to the Ukrainians he needed only to call upon Goering or Gauleiter Koch, whom Hitler regarded highly” (p. 207).

Just what kind of committed Nazi and Hitler servant was Bormann? Von Lang’s evidence goes far beyond the realm of self-serving; this was blatant sabotage against the Reich. There is no other way to interpret Bormann’s destructive and sabotaging behavior if he was truly committed to his leader and the Nazi cause. Self-serving individuals certainly do not aim to bring down the very system that serves their interests; nay, they try their best to keep the machine intact so that they continue to benefit from it. Bormann was clearly destroying the machine that fed him.

In Bormann’s final letter to his wife, 2 April 1945, he assures her that “we’ll go to death proudly and with our heads high” (Bormann, Letters, p. 198)! In reality, Bormann slipped out of the bunker like a complete coward, not even showing any emotion regarding the death of his beloved “master” Hitler, and had made a run for it under retreating military cover. He was more than likely accidentally killed by a stray bullet from enemy fire. Obviously, he was not considering dying a hero’s death. He ran like a sissy and who knows whether he would have simply left his “wife” behind. Needless to say, Bormann was sleeping with a known Communist, among others. Oddly enough, this particular mistress was a member of the German Communist underground (Kilzer, p. 264). It is very doubtful that a truly committed Nazi—for example, Reinhard Heydrich—would have been sleeping with a Communist woman who may even have been Jewish, as evidenced by her “-berg” surname. It is also highly questionable that a truly committed Nazi would be engaging in orgies and sleeping with numerous mistresses as Bormann had done.

Last but certainly not least, it is certainly damning that not only had Bormann reserved a Swiss retreat for himself for vacations, but he had listed among his contacts a certain “Rösler.” Isn’t it odd though, that Rudolf Roessler was one of the higher-ups within the Lucy Ring of the Red Orchestra operating in Switzerland? Yes, there is only one “s” in the name listed by Bormann, but there is no first name to accompany this listing. Furthermore, Bormann may have deliberately misspelled the name to throw off any possible suspicions raised by potential counterespionage officials.

Essentially, if Bormann was not Werther then he was at least part of the Werther network. Perhaps there were other contributors of information, but it is very unlikely that Bormann was not involved in some way or other.

“Hitler’s” Table Talk?

Upon discovering just how subversive and overbearing a role Bormann had played behind Hitler’s back, and considering the huge discrepancies between Hitler’s alleged “table talks” when compared to like sources, as well as the duplicity of Hitler’s own character in Bormann’s recorded record, one must seriously call into question just how genuine these stenographic recordings really are. Historian David Irving has revealed after much investigation and insight that the 1945 table talks are at least partially fraudulent (Irving, 1998).

According to Irving,

The document, first published in French in 1959, and in English in 1961 as Hitler’s Last Testament, or Hitlers politisches Testament…with an Introduction by Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper, is a fake.

[  ] Its owner, Swiss lawyer-activist François Genoud, now dead, first showed it to [me] at a meeting at the Hotel d’Angleterre in Geneva (witnessed also by Dr Elke Fröhlich of the Institut für Zeitgeschichte) in 1971. At that time it was about fifty pages of typescript, typed on a small-face non-German typewriter on American-size legal paper.

What was very surprising was that Genoud was willing to let German editor Professor Eduard Baumgarten work only from a French text, which he insisted must be retranslated into German.

[I] continued to press Genoud, expressing to him strong doubts (after discussions with Hitler’s private staff, especially Konteradmiral Karl-Jesco von Puttkamer, Hitler’s naval adjutant to the very end, who stated that he had never seen Hitler’s secretary Martin Bormann taking down such notes in 1945).

There was a further difficulty. Mr Irving had a transcript of the 1945 diary, now in Moscow, of Bormann; he also had a facsimile of the register of all the guests at Hitler’s February 1945 meals, kept by Hitler’s manservant Heinz Linge. These unquestionably genuine documents showed that Bormann was not present at several of the meals during which the ‘testament’ showed he had apparently taken notes; sometimes he was not even in Berlin.

In 1979, Genoud phoned Mr Irving at his Paris hotel, and said: ‘I have a gift for you.’ He handed him a package. It contained a copy of the complete typescript of the Testament. The package gift from Genoud raised a new problem. Every page was heavily amended and expanded in somebody’s hand-writing. Mr Irving, astonished, asked Genoud whose was the writing. Genoud admitted it was his own. Later still, he admitted in conversation with Mr Irving that the entire typescript was his own confection, saying: ‘But it is just what Hitler would have said, isn’t it?’

This assessment is quite valuable for three specific reasons.

The first is that this same man, François Genoud, is the very man who had possession of the unpublished 1941-1944 table talks, which were stenographically recorded by two of Bormann’s associates—a Soviet spy named Werner Koeppen and the probably well meaning Heinrich Heim (Kilzer, p. 128).

Secondly, for a very short span–that is between the months of March and August 1942–Henry Picker replaced Heinrich Heim and his notes stand in contrast with those of Heim and Koeppen. As noted by Herrell, this may suggest that his notes were not subject to Bormann’s “alterations,” especially with regards to Hitler’s views of Christianity, as recorded on April 4, 1942, and women (Herrell, p. 152; Bormann, Table-Talk, p. 393-394; 494-495). For instance, on this particular day Hitler specifically targeted the “terrorism” within Christianity, which he believed had been falsely introduced by Jewry. On April 7, 1942 he addressed the problems associated with funding the churches, which appeared to do little in the actual service of the German people, and, the petty intriguers such as Pastor Martin Niemöller (Bormann, Table-Talk, p. 409-413). On April 9, 1942, he returned to his general theme of anti-dogma and anti-churchism as he discussed the tortures of the churches. He lamented the “pessimism” taught by the church, as well as the crucifixions, rapes and quarterings-to-death committed by the churches “with indescribable torture” of Europe’s past (Bormann, Table-Talk, p. 418-420). On May 20, 1942, Hitler discussed the importance of providing women with respectable work and a living wage. In this same conversation, he did not fail to rail against the Jewish theater owners and brothel owners who cheated their female workers of their fair earnings (Bormann, Table-Talk, p. 494-495).

All of these views of Hitler’s are in contrast with other recorded views of Hitler’s in other recorded conversations, both before and after Picker took his notes. Thus, Herrell may be correct in his conclusion that Bormann did not have a chance to edit Picker’s notes as thoroughly as those of Heim or Koeppen, if he had indeed edited them in the first place. To be quite honest, the derivations in Picker’s notes are so subtle that they may not even be significant enough to comparatively analyze in the first place.

As suggested by both Irving’s (1998) discovery of the fraudulent qualities of one of Genoud’s Bormann manuscripts and Historian V.S. Herrell’s (2004) revelations as to the Bormann-inspired sections of the original transcript as regards Hitler’s Christian views, what is obvious is that the table talks are not all Hitler’s ideas (Irving, 1998; Herrell,152-153). Henry Picker had even stated that “no confidence can be placed in Bormann’s editing of [the manuscript].” According to Herrell (2004), Picker “also spoke of ‘Bormann’s alterations…’” (p. 153). What is absolutely clear is that some or parts of the written records are actually Bormann’s material. It might also be important to mention at this point that Genoud had peddled in numerous fraudulent Nazi documents after the war (Herrell, p. 152). As aforementioned, one of those was published under the title The Hitler-Bormann Documents.

Thirdly, Irving has argued that Bormann “was not even in Berlin” at certain times in 1945 (Irving, 1998). There is in fact a gap in Bormann’s letters to his wife between January 5 and January 28, 1945 (Bormann, Letters, p. 161-163). This may be a period of time in which Bormann left Berlin. There is another significant gap between February 26 and April 2, 1945 (Bormann, Letters, p. 194-196). His final letter to his wife was dated April 2, 1945, which may indicate that he was busy preparing to escape, perhaps to the Soviet Union, and did not have time for informal trivialities any longer (Bormann, Letters, p. 197). The final table talk recording was taken on November 29, 1944 (Bormann, Table-Talk, p. 721).

Knowing that Genoud admitted to writing the 1945 table talks, we can dismiss those out of hand. Moving further along, the translation discrepancies between the three genuine versions of the table talks are also quite problematic. The only available English-language edition of Hitler’s words was translated directly from the French-language copy owned by Genoud (Herrell, p. 153). The German version is different from the English-language translation in many ways, which has been confirmed by Historians Herrell and Richard Carrier (Herrell, p. 153-159). Omissions and alterations are obvious when one compares the two versions of the recorded text (Herrell, p. 156-157).

According to Herrell (2004),

Here is just one of the oft quoted English-language edition passages:

If my presence on earth is providential, I owe it to a superior will. But I owe nothing to the Church that traffics in the salvation of souls, and I find it really too cruel. I admit that one cannot impose one’s will by force, but I have a horror of people who enjoy inflicting sufferings on others’ bodies and tyranny upon others’ souls.

Our epoch will certainly see an end to the disease of Christianity. It will last another hundred years, two hundred perhaps. My regret will be that I couldn’t, like whoever the prophet was, behold the promised land from afar. We are entering into a conception of the world that will be a sunny era, an era of tolerance. Man must be put in a position to develop freely the talents that God has given him.

What is important above all is that we should prevent a greater lie from replacing the lie that is disappearing. The world of Judeo-Bolshevism must collapse.

As quoted by Herrell, the German text states,

I am here due to a higher power, if I am necessary for anything. Leave aside that she is too cruel for me, the beatifying church! I have never found pleasure in maltreating others, even if I know it isn’t possible to stand your ground in the world without force. Life is only given to those who fight for it the hardest. It is the law of life: Defend yourself!

The time in which we live indicates the collapse of this idea. It can still take 100 or 200 years. I am sorry that, like Moses, I can only see the Promised Land from a distance.

We are growing into a sunny, really tolerant worldview: Man shall be able to develop his God-given talents. We must only prevent a new, even greater lie from arising: that of the Jewish-Bolshevist world. That’s what I must destroy (p. 154-155).

The following sentence contained in the German version was simply omitted from Genoud’s French-English translation: “What man has over the animals, possibly the most marvelous proof of his superiority, is that he has understood there must be a Creative Power” (p. 156)! According to Carrier, the sentence “I shall never personally come to terms with the Christian lie” does not even exist in the German version. It was added either by Bormann or by Genoud (p. 156). Bormann may have added it to make Hitler, whom he seems to have admired greatly, appear anti-Christian in light of his own Communist views or, Genoud may have added it to paint a malevolent portrait of Hitler for his own self-serving agenda. Lastly, I will mention that the sentence “Christianity is an invention of sick brains” does not exist in the German version either. It only exists in Genoud’s French-English translation (Herrell, p. 157). The importance and relevance of these alterations will become very relevant later in this analysis, especially when we come across references to “extermination” in the table talk.

The Case for Extermination: Only with Faulty Inductive Reasoning

Along these lines, Historian Louis Kilzer has had to admit that “Hitler was the prime mover, but even his actions were muddied by the lack of clear-cut written orders for genocide. …There is no rational basis to doubt Hitler’s true intentions. From his writings, his table talk, and even his speeches, it is clear he intended a bad end for the Jews of Europe” (p. 115). This inductive reasoning, which cannot be supported by circumstantial, factual, or forensic evidence, is highly questionable, to say the least. Should a person be tried and convicted for masterminding a murder without any evidence? One would hope not. Kilzer’s reliance upon the table talk for clues as to Hitler’s desire to exterminate Jews now seems irresponsible in light of our assessment of that document. I might also mention that Hitler’s letters and notes do not even remotely suggest the extermination of Jewry; secondly, his speeches were subject to alteration after the fact. Historian Mark Weber has argued that a few of his speeches are forgeries (Mark Weber, Personal Communication, April 29, 2005). Let us also use common sense in this case. Are we really expected to believe that Hitler openly discussed “exterminating” Jewry in his public speeches which could have easily gotten into the hands of a hostile and war-hungry foreign press? One would certainly hope not, especially when we have been told over and over again that this was an ultra-secret covert operation that was not even committed to paper—in order to secure its ultra secrecy.

The truth is that Hitler wished to forcibly repatriate Jewry. In the context of 1930s and 1940s Europe, this was not a crime against humanity. In our present-day context, forcibly repatriating a foreign or minority people is considered a crime against humanity. Israel is guilty of this crime today, in fact. More to the point, Kilzer has at least admitted that Hitler’s intention had been the repatriation of European Jewry to Madagascar “or other destinations”; perhaps to Russia, once Russia had been defeated (p. 115).

Last but not least, Kilzer has argued that “the Nuremberg prosecutors said, Bormann wrote that the plan involved the ‘enslavement and annihilation of the population of these territories [Crimea, Baku, and Volga districts]. Goering and Keitel later said that they did not hear those specific words from Hitler” (p. 118). So, Kilzer has concluded, without any evidence I might add, that “Bormann became the point man for the Holocaust” (p. 118). This whole assessment is flawed for two reasons, without even getting into the forensics of the matter.

Firstly, Kilzer has assumed that Bormann was talking specifically about Jews here. The actual document that Kilzer has cited here does not even mention Jews. The target of this document, if it is indeed genuine to begin with, is Ukrainians and other Eastern European peoples.  Secondly, no historian can simply assume that what Bormann wrote or ordered, Hitler had ordered. This becomes especially significant when we take into account the evidence presented by Historians Bryan Mark Rigg and Jochen von Lang, which clearly exonerates Hitler on numerous occasions. I might also make mention again of Bormann’s suspected Soviet ties, as well as his oft  flagrant disregard of many of Hitler’s wishes and orders. This, in turn, brings up a fascinating postulation. If there were limited-scale atrocities ordered against Eastern Europeans and Jews on Bormann’s orders, then those orders are ultimately the responsibility of a traitor, not a Nazi. Bormann does not even have to be a Soviet spy at this point to solidify this position; he need only be a traitor against Hitler. What better way to destroy Hitler than to order atrocities in his name? This same line of reasoning may be applied to Hans Oster, Heinrich Mueller, and Heinz Pannwitz as well. All three were suspected traitors against the Reich. There is no written law indicating that traitors must be humanitarians is there? Indeed, in this case we must assume, without any hard evidence at all, that Hitler was the “mastermind” and “murderer” and that the “traitors” against him were the “humanitarians” and “good guys,” who, apparently, were just looking out for Jewish interests. According to Rigg’s analysis, Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers, this assumption could not be further from the truth (Clark, 2006).

One may also be inclined to argue that Bormann may well have ordered particular atrocities in Hitler’s name of his own volition simply because he was inclined to do so. Perhaps he had really believed in the inferiority of certain white ethnic groups, such as Gypsies, Slavs, or Jews, and had thus done everything in his own personal power to exact a toll upon these peoples’ populations in the eastern region. The war certainly would have provided a convenient cover for unlawful atrocities. Remarkably, for all of the ‘scholarly’ literature that has been churned out over these past 62 years, not one source has postulated the ideas put forth in these few paragraphs. It is truly astounding at how apathetic and uncritical most Westerners have become when it comes to investigating events of the past.

Redux: More Fraudulent Hitler Sources

Numerous fraudulent and Soviet-inspired works on Hitler exist so thorough source evaluation is critical when studying Hitler. This will come up again later in this analysis, but, for now, let us briefly discuss just a few of the fraudulent sources.

Anything written about Hitler by Hans Bernard Gisevius is very suspect because, according to Kilzer, the Soviet spy Rudolf Roessler named him off as one of his sources (p. 273; Herrell, p. 163). One cannot possibly accept a Soviet spy who worked for the Rote Kapelle as a reliable source on Hitler.

Konrad Heiden was a Jewish journalist who had claimed that there was proof of Hitler’s bizarre personal life being safeguarded by the Reich Treasurer. This alleged evidence was never found and it is suspected that Heiden was a liar like Otto Strasser (Sayer & Botting, p. 48, 59-60). Nothing from either Gregor or Otto Strasser can be accepted as truthful because both of them had a vendetta against Hitler (Ibid., p. 59). There is also contrary evidence to what they have alleged against him, especially as regards the death of Geli Raubal (Ibid., p. 60).

Ernst Hanfstaengl cannot be believed because he had a falling out with Hitler. Furthermore, all of his various analyses of Hitler are based upon Freudian psychoanalysis which has been entirely debunked (p. 14-16, 51, 58). Dr. Kurt Krueger cannot be believed because, in all probability, he never even existed. Whoever wrote the Krueger “diaries” obviously had a vendetta against Hitler; they may have even been written by someone Hitler knew for awhile (Ibid., p. 16). Sayer and Botting have addressed that some historians believe that I Was Hitler’s Doctor was actually written by Ernst Hanfstaengl. Remarkably, Krueger’s recollections read very much like the fraudulent Diary of Eva Braun which was written by a Jewish con-artist named Luis Trenker.

Any statements or documents that were employed either by the American OSS or Josef Stalin cannot be trusted for obvious reasons. Though this kind of evidence may contain granules of truth it is not even worth considering when there are so many reliable sources and statements available for analysis, many of which are stenographically recorded primary accounts.

Historian V.S. Herrell (2004) has noted that other completely or partially fraudulent sources include and are not limited to: Erich Kordt, Fritz Wiedemann, Carl Jakob Burkhardt’s diary, Hermann Rauschning, Fritz Thyssen, Albert Zoller, Christa Schroeder’s diary, the diaries of Wilhelm Canaris, all of Eva Braun’s diaries, the diary of Felix Kersten, Count Galeazzo Ciano’s diaries and Karl Koller’s diary (p. 163-164). These sources have been subjected to relentless examination and cross-referencing by genuine historians that have actually taken an interest in historical truthfulness and accuracy. The recollections of Heinrich Mueller published as Gestapo Mueller are fraudulent. They were scrutinized by a few historians at the Institute for Historical Review and found to be fraudulent (Historian Friedrich Berg, Personal Communication, May 15, 2007).

Stalin’s Spy in Hitler’s Midst: “Werther”

Bormann operated freely within Hitler’s inner circle, leaking top secret information to the Lucy Ring of the Red Orchestra, from June 1941 to October 1944 (Kilzer, p. 276). The recorded table talks in Genoud’s possession begin on July 5, 1941 (Bormann, Table-Talk, p. 3). Remarkably, Jewish-controlled Hollywood played a large part in the funding of the Soviet’s “Lucy net” (Kilzer, p. 92). Bormann recruited a fellow Red spy by the name of Werner Koeppen, along with Heinrich Heim, to secretly record everything Hitler said in private. Bormann’s emphasis to Heim was that he maintain the absolute secrecy of the recordings and never mention anything to the Fuehrer himself. It may be that Heim distrusted Bormann because he omitted recording Hitler’s specific military plans for security reasons, but Koeppen did not (Kilzer, p. 103-104). Koeppen had been recording Hitler’s words secretly even before Heim was recruited. Heim was told that the recordings were merely for posterity in order to preserve the words of the Fuehrer (Kilzer, p. 103). The recordings began at the Wolf’s Lair (Kilzer, p. 104).

Oddly enough, Historian Robert Stephan (2004) has concluded:

Soviet sources state unequivocally that radio games contributed to the Soviet victories at Kursk, Stalingrad, and the Belorussian offensive in 1944 (codenamed Operation Bagration). One history opined that the information transmitted in these types of counterintelligence operations basically satisfied the Germans and deterred them from trying to establish parallel agent networks (p. 104).

Additionally, the American CIA had concluded that the German funkspiel, or radio game, had actually “turned sharply against the Germans…Moscow profited much more than did Berlin” (Kilzer, p. 148). This is certainly odd given the training and experience of the Gestapo agents involved in cracking the Red Orchestra case; unless, of course, a few of those Gestapo agents were “turned.” Seeing as how Pannwitz willingly stayed in Berlin up to the final moments of the war, and had willingly boarded a secret plane to Moscow, we may reasonably assume that he was working for Stalin for a decent period of time. He obviously felt comfortable enough to fly straight into the hands of a man known to have murdered his own loyal agents, including Jews, on an unprecedented scale. In fact, the renowned Jewish spymaster, Leopold Trepper, was held in Lubianka prison until Stalin’s death in 1957 (Kilzer, p. 288). Thus, Pannwitz’s suffering in Stalin’s hands cannot be attributed to his lack of loyalty or his supposed commitment to Hitler as a ‘true’ Gestapo agent. Almost every one of Stalin’s spies suffered a terrible fate upon reentry into Russia. Heinz Pannwitz was actually one of the lucky ones, as he was treated quite well at Lubianka. He retired in relative comfort in Stuttgart, Germany, which brings us to another pertinent question that must be asked. Why wasn’t he hanged as a war criminal? Why wasn’t he hunted down by the Wiesenthal “Nazi hunters” after he was set free? Well, because he was working for the Allies on the side of the Soviet Union. That is one logical and reasonable answer to this vexing postulation.

For those who may still believe that Pannwitz was a committed Nazi, I would recommend studying the far-reaching qualities of the Soviet intelligence organization much more intensively. Please recall that a top level Luftwaffe officer, Harro Schulze-Boysen; a Grand Admiral, Wilhelm Canaris; and, the head of Hitler’s military intelligence organization, Hans Oster, had been brazenly working against him, for either the British or the Soviets.

As far as the gravity of the problem of the Red Orchestra was concerned, Hitler himself summed it up quite accurately:

They found out with this Rote Kapelle [Red Orchestra] that one rat had been in there since 1933 who had a permanent connection abroad. I have to say that our enemies succeeded in one thing: even with the dissolution of the control commissions they had already installed a control mechanism in all the state apparatus, the party apparatus, and everywhere in the public apparatus, economy, and administration. …These people were also in the police force. In 1933 the police suffered from the fact that they consisted primarily of National Socialists with good will but very minimal knowledge of criminal investigation. They hadn’t been trained in criminal investigation” (Stephan, p. 197).

Hitler greatly lamented the fact that the Soviets clearly had the Germans on one thing; intelligence.

Marxism: The Jewish Theory in Practice

The following excerpts should suffice as to what Marxism became, in practice, shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution:

“To eliminate a breeding ground for what he saw as mistaken ideas and weaknesses, Stalin would order thousands of Bolsheviks and their families deported to northern Siberia. …

“Tomsky, the good Bolshevik that he was, was opposed to individual terror. He had chosen to kill himself with his pistol rather than to kill Stalin.

“The prosecutor, Vishinsky closed his speech for the prosecution saying, “I demand that these mad dogs be shot, every last one of them.” On August 25, Zinoviev, Kamenev and the fourteen others were shot. And Trotsky was sentenced to death in absentia. …

“From Germany came Dr. Goebbels’ expert analysis of the trial. The Bolshevik government, he explained, was a Jewish business.

“Then the head of the NKVD, Yagoda, was replaced by someone who would take a harder approach to the fight against counter-revolution. This was Nikolai Yezhov, a Bolshevik from before the revolution, a former industrial worker, a former Secretary of the Central Committee, and someone who enjoyed a reputation as an agreeable and conscientious man. The greatest terror came during Yezhov’s rule over the NKVD, and people in the Soviet Union would call the Great Terror Yezhovshchina (the times of Yezhov). Yezhov began his new reign by rooting out NKVD commissars that he saw as not fit to serve under him. In 1937, it is estimated, around 3,000 of them were shot. [Yezhov was probably a Jew.] …

“In all, about 35,000 military officers had been shot or imprisoned. …

“It was a general rule, claim some historians, for Stalin to eliminate those who knew too much. Molotov was to describe it differently. Late in his life, Molotov believed that Stalin would be rehabilitated. He denied that Stalin was behind Kirov’s murder, and he blamed others for what he called excesses. He claimed that Stalin knew little about the purges – although Stalin signed death warrants sometimes numbering more than a thousand a day, in the presence of Molotov.

“Counts of the number of people who were purged vary. The Russian historian Roy Medvedev has written of reliable Soviet records indicating 1,116 having been sentenced to death in 1936, and 353,680 in 1937. The decline in 1938, it is estimated, may have brought the number of executed to 200,000 or 300,000. Stalin’s opponents in the Party had been effectively silenced. Of the 1,966 delegates to the 17th Party Congress – the Party Congress of 1934 that had threatened Stalin’s position within the Party – 1,108 had been shot as enemies of the people.

A few old Bolsheviks would survive Siberia, but hardly any of Trotsky’s old supporters would. Nor would Trotsky’s family, or Trotsky” (Smitha, 1998).

Hitler’s Response to Marxism: Gestapo, Abwehr and Mass Persecution

This was, and remains, typical of Jewish rule and Jewish power play. Germany wanted no part in this mad cycle of murder and death. Hence, the Gestapo and Abwehr were formed and consolidated to root out and either deport or eliminate the Jewish Problem. Many would argue that “innocent” Jews were victims of this Nazi discrimination and elimination. This is probably true to a certain extent. However, everyday Jews from all walks of life proved to be devastating to the Eastern campaign and the German war machine in general. The Red Orchestra, in fact, played a decisive and significant role in quite a few of Germany’s losses, especially at both Stalingrad and Kursk. Regular old Jews leaked top secret information to Stalin, which would serve to put Stalin on the offensive and Hitler on the run. Thus, from a Utilitarian perspective, had Hitler ignored the Jewish Problem and sabotage, he undoubtedly would have been remembered as one of the single most inept leaders in history. Not even Communist-sympathizing historians like Gilles Perrault, Heinz Hoehne, or V.E. Tarrant can argue against this basic premise. They may argue that Hitler went too far in his persecution of Jewry, or they may believe in the so-called “Holocaust,” but they cannot possibly argue against the indisputable fact that Hitler was justified in his measures against Jewry considering the threat of the Red Orchestra and other Communist and pro-Soviet agitators and revolutionaries. All three of their respective thesis agendas suggest this much.

The Red Orchestra was almost solely a Jewish-Soviet espionage and counter-espionage spy ring. Regular old Jews from every walk of life—including butchers, shopkeepers, businessmen, criminals, mothers, prostitutes, dancers, writers, and actresses, just to mention a few—worked as spies against the Reich. This is one of the reasons why “innocent” Jews were interned in camps, forced to work, or eliminated as enemies of the German state. They were a very real threat to the German state and the war effort. Thus, their alleged “innocence” is nullified in this respect.

Redux 1941: Was Stalin to Blame for Instigating War on the European Continent?

According to reporter Tom Segev, new inquiry into the responsibility for the Second World War has revealed some rather interesting, aside from disturbing, results. Segev has concluded, in the following report, that Stalin was responsible for the Second World War. I had come to the same conclusion, though with greater reserve (Clark, 2007). I would actually be more inclined to argue that Hitler and Stalin preempted one another simultaneously. To be fair, both sides had legitimate grievances one against the other, depending on which worldview one ascribed to at the time. Neither side was “evil” or “guilty.” On the contrary, both sides, in their own respect, were justified and correct in their actions. In other words, both sides were typically human in their actions. In light of all the evidence, it appears that Roosevelt and Churchill were far more belligerent and unjustified in their respective actions than either Germany or Russia, in fact. Thus, Roosevelt and Churchill ought to bear far more responsibility for World War II than either of the European continental powers. Neither of these aggressive Anglo nation-states had a legitimate grievance against either Hitler or Stalin. I would even disagree that the so-called “threat” of the International Soviet Comintern—to the Anglo establishment, as well as “democracy”—was a legitimate cause for aggression against Stalin. One must realize that Stalin disagreed with Comintern policies and had actually become more of a pan-Slavist than a Marxist internationalist. This is discussed in detail by both Historians John Lukacs and Gilles Perrault.

Segev has reported the following:

MISCHA Shauli sat at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., completely beside himself. It had been years since the first time he heard about the existence of a document said to prove that Stalin, not Hitler, bore the main responsibility for World War II, and for years he had searched for it with all his skills as a professional detective.

Shauli’s last position was as Commander Shauli, Representative of the Israel Police in Russia. Previous to that he had been head of the police fraud investigation unit for the Southern District.

A few years ago Shauli read “Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War” by Bogdan Rozen. Rozen, who now lives in England, wrote it under the pseudonym of Viktor Suvorov. Shauli, impressed by the book, translated it into Hebrew and saw to its publication here.

From out of the sea of details, a coherent thesis emerges: Stalin dragged Hitler into war to force Europe into chaos and facilitate a communist revolution on the continent. According to Shauli, there is evidence to back up this theory, including a speech by Stalin himself as well as a report obtained by the U.S. Consulate in Prague. The report has been mentioned here and there over the years, but it has never been published, because no one knows where it is today.

Shauli, 59, believed that the definitive evidence was out there, hiding somewhere. He believed, and did not give up, repeatedly setting out to find it, going as far as Washington. No one is happier than he is today: The document is in his possession, and now the history of World War II may have to be rewritten: It was Stalin’s fault [emphasis added].

The document, from October 1939, consists of three pages in English that purportedly reflect a dialogue in Moscow between a delegation from Czechoslovakia and a senior Soviet Foreign Ministry official. The Czechs tried to find out why the U.S.S.R. had signed the nonaggression treaty with Nazi Germany, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939. A few days later the Germans invaded Poland, and World War II began.

The Soviet official, Alexandrov by name, explained to the Czech delegation that had the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the West, Hitler would not have dared to launch a war, and without that war there would have been no possibility of imposing communism in Europe. He also listed the benefits to the Soviet Union of the pact with Nazi Germany, and of the war.

The veracity of the document must be proved, and even if it turns out to be genuine, its significance is worthy of debate. Mischa Shauli is continuing his investigation. No, he said this week, he does not fear that shifting responsibility for the war from Hitler to Stalin “acquits” Hitler; he is responsible for other crimes (2007).

The Tide Changes: The Red Army Victories

Even though Stalingrad was not necessarily of much strategic value, it still had to be taken at some point in order to cut any potential infantry gateway to Hitler’s southern forces heading towards the oil fields, which is discussed by Historian V.E. Tarrant. I would label the disaster at Stalingrad the result of “poor judgment” before I would label it “insanity.”

I would have to disagree with most Jewish historians that Hitler was “insane.” In that case, so was Napoleon. I might just as easily claim that Stalin was also “insane,” because he is now known to have wished for an offensive war against Germany–the known most powerful military force in the world at the time—according to the latest evidence (Segev, 2007). Furthermore, General Halder had informed his American interrogators after the war that “Hitler [had been] alarmed by reports of an offensive buildup of Soviet forces” (Kilzer, p. 80). As Kilzer has confirmed, “If Stalin moved against Romania [which had vast oil supplies], he could strangle the Reich” (p. 80).

In my own view, dismissing generals or leaders as “insane”, or even “evil,” does little to enhance our collective knowledge as to the motives and decisions that those leaders made in their time. Even in Hitler’s case, for every allegedly “insane” decision he made, he had also made a rational or conservative one. Moreover, Manstein agreed with Hitler’s decision to hold Stalingrad. The complicated details of that battle have been largely ignored because of historians’ overwhelming inability to look past Hitler’s alleged “insanity.” I think Historian Louis Kilzer sums that battle up best.

He has stated:

The most important message came from a Soviet spy named Richard Sorge. …Japan would secure her oil in Southeast Asia, a move that would bring her to war with America and Great Britain. She would not have the strength to attack Russia also.

Stalin now knew two things [thanks to his excellent espionage forces]: He would not face an attack from Japan this winter, and the Germans were totally unprepared for the appearance of a strategic reserve (p. 111).

So, Hitler miscalculated…badly.

Basically, while Stalin was learning and acting on this information, the Germans were trying to avoid a “rout” (p. 113), which would have cost more lives than strategic and sustainable withdrawals. Because of the complicated and precarious circumstances leading up to and surrounding the battle for Stalingrad, even Kilzer has had to admit that Hitler had little choice but to commit General Paulus’s troops to a sacrificial “last stand” (p. 106-107, 126-127, 139). Kilzer goes further in that he suggests that the disaster was not entirely of Hitler’s making, which has been affirmed by Historian A.V. Schaerffenberg (Kilzer, p. 139; Schaerffenberg, p. 100-104).

Remarkable to some, Kilzer has concluded, “It is now largely accepted that December 1941 was Hitler’s greatest moment as a military man, coming oddly not as a conqueror, but as a defender. He held the army together, pulling back German troops in an orderly fashion and with a strong rear guard; in so doing, he left the Germans in control of the battlefield when the thaw came in 1942″ (p. 113-114).

As pointed out in this assessment, from the strategic and operational standpoint Hitler does not come across as “insane” in any way, shape, or form. In fact, had he withdrawn, more Germans would have died. This is a reminder that oftentimes taboo subject matter must be confronted in order to reconstruct a more historically objective picture from which we can all learn.

To be fair, Stalin himself had improved tremendously by about the year 1943, but not without the assistance of his renowned espionage and counter-espionage networks working feverishly behind German lines. As Kilzer has pointed out, Stalin attained victories once he allowed Zhukov more freedom to make his own decisions. So, getting past the Stalin taboo is also important because we can learn a great deal from the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, both of which were won by the USSR.

I might also add that dismissing the German losses and setbacks beginning with Stalingrad as the misfortunate results of Hitler’s “insanity” prevents historians from seeing the more realistic picture. That would be, in spite of everything, that the Red Army was an incredible military force and had proven that it could adapt to German tactics at a remarkable rate by the latter half of the war. The role of the Red Orchestra must be taken into account, but the tenacity and outright courageousness of the Red Army in the face of the Wehrmacht cannot be relegated to insignificant at this point in the war. The Soviet Union won not because of Hitler’s mistakes or insanity; rather, it won because it proved to be a more capable and well-prepared military by this time, especially with regards to espionage. Stalin had also relinquished his reins on Zhukov by this time, so, perhaps it was a mistake for Hitler to have remained such a micromanager up until this point. Then again, Hitler did not have as capable and daring a field commander as Zhukov–who was as much ferocious as he was capable.

What were the primary factors that enabled the initiative on the Eastern front to pass from Hitler to Stalin in 1941-1942? The answers to this question cannot be obtained if we do not investigate thoroughly as to every possible explanation. In this case, “insane” does not cut it.

Conditional Conclusion

Now that we know that at least parts of the table talk may have been altered by a very probable Soviet spy, can we still trust this document? The answer is obvious; of course we can’t. We are now compelled to not only go back to the original German-language edition for accuracy, but more importantly than that we must begin to examine this record with a discerning eye. Chances are large portions of it have been altered or influenced by Bormann. There may even be subtle indicators as to his motives or agenda embedded within this document. Now is the time to start combing for clues within the table talk itself.

Black Nazis! Still Available from AHRS

Black Nazis! Racial Ambivalence in Nazi Germany's Military Establishment

Black Nazis! Racial Ambivalence in Nazi Germany's Military Establishment

This concise, yet excellent paperback (162 p. with 36 illus.) is still available from AHRS. We have already sold and shipped over twenty copies, so be sure and order your copy today before we run out. Their were only 100 copies of this first edition printed and the second edition is already underway, so this book will eventually be a valuable collector’s item. Signed copies are available upon request.

Here is an excerpt from her book:

“This study answers why certain ethnic minorities and foreigners were able to rouse humanitarian and collaborationist sentiments in Nazi Germans. It answers why Hitler was willing to work with Cossacks and Arabs, among others, and generally unwilling to work with Jews and Russians. It likewise answers why Heinrich Himmler changed his mind about Russians and Gypsies. This study is by no means as exhaustive as it could be. In its brevity, it only provides historians with a glimpse of the role that racial ambivalence played in German policymaking during World War II.

Many blacks volunteered to serve Adolf Hitler.

“European historians’ perceptions and interpretations of Hitler’s and the National Socialists’ racial prejudice have become more comprehensive, and thus more historically accurate, since about the early 1990s. Since racist actions and atrocities of Hitler and the Nazis are already well known, this analysis focuses on the exceptions and ignored aspects of Hitler’s and National Socialism’s ethnic minority and foreign accommodations, especially in the military realm. The Wehrmacht’s and Schutzstaffel’s accommodations in this respect cannot be adequately understood unless one knows how minorities and foreigners were treated in the civilian realm. This is a “war and society” study; therefore, both the military and civil areas of Nazi Germany are covered within a comparative framework (to other Western societies). One also has to understand where Adolf Hitler stood on these issues, since his person and National Socialism were nearly synonymous. Therefore, his personal racial views—how they developed and changed—are likewise covered in the following analysis of the historiography.”

Ms. Clark has written a compelling study, which addresses both how and why ethnic minorities (including tens-of-thousands of Jews and even numerous blacks and “mulattoes”) in Germany, as well as non-German foreigners were able to serve the Nazi cause. Contrary to what most of us think, the Nazis ended up more racially tolerant and accomodating than the Allied powers, mainly as a result of the war. As Clark has argued, the “exigencies of war” and the “turning of the tide after Stalingrad” forced the Nazis, including Hitler, to reevaluate their official racial doctrine. However, her study also proves that many Nazis were racially tolerant to begin with! Anyway, the war was the Nazis’ racial “about face,” to use Clark’s own words. It’s just an excellent “war and society” study well worth the small cost.

“The establishment of the Jewish state of Palestine is thus not the reuinfication of the Jewish Volk in one state, but the attempt to create a worldwide Jewish headquarters, intended—in time, using international financial power—to seize absolute control of the destinies of all the Volks in the world. In order, furthermore, to eliminate any possibility of a military display of power by any state, all that is required is the expansion of the League of Nations into a kind of world state. Then, if this world state might even be allowed to wield military might more or less as a world police—then Judah will finally have stabilized its financial power in the world, guaranteed and secured by the universal international military force, into which the oppressed are conscripted to serve their oppressors. That is the meaning of Palestine!…There is no one we can depend on except the middle class, the workers, and the farmers…It is to be hoped that Weltjudentum…grants us the time of one generation.” (Adolf Hitler)

The Adolf Hitler Research Society has undergone an official change of ownership (finalized on 29 June 2009). The founder no longer wants to be affiliated with AHRS, because of her recent career change. Therefore, I and two other individuals who wish to remain anonymous are assuming control of AHRS from this day forward. The entire site will change as far as format and appearance is concerned, because we do not like the way it has been set up. There will be dramatic changes to the content and appearance–we feel for the better.

Those who wish to pay for access to the new AHRS may do so here. Please send either a check or money order for $120.00 for the year or $10.00 per month to:

Many of the older articles, essays, and photo collages will continue to be available free of charge. However, access to the highest quality material requires membership fees. This is required to prevent usage of AHRS material without reference to AHRS, which has happened too often in the past. That will not continue. We will not tolerate plagiarism, because our researchers work very hard to bring AHRS readers the best material on Hitler available. They deserve credit and assistance for their hard work. Those of you who have regularly supported AHRS without being asked will receive automatic access to the entire site.

Out of the Ashes and Black Nazis!, two AHRS exclusive book titles, are still available. Those of you who have ordered these books will receive them. They will ship out tomorrow (30 June 2009).

No more dogma when it comes to history.

We will work on getting ClickandPledge or some sort of credit card transaction capability, but for now we can only accept checks or money orders. We apologize for this inconvenience and future changes to the site, but we feel this site is worth maintaining and improving.

As a side note, this web site will no longer have any political, Jewish, or Holocaust content. It will strictly present research pertaining to Adolf Hitler. Ms. Peters was kind enough to grant us usage of her research on Hitler, so most of that will remain. The only difference is that the research will be much more closely monitored and the public will have to pay to access AHRS exclusive research.

Thank you and welcome to the new AHRS. Please be patient while we build the site. You will not be disappointed.
