NY Times:The Double Whammy Making Italy the West’s Fastest-Shrinking Nation
Italy’s population of elder Italians is soaring as its birthrate plummets, putting the country at the forefront of a global demographic trend that experts call the “silver tsunami.”
BY JASON HOROWITZ
The engineered demographic implosion of the White western world happened so slowly that only the astute (a minority in every society) were able to foresee, decades ago, the disaster that is now upon us. Now that even the dullest bulbs of Normiedom can clearly see what is happening, it may already be too late to reverse course. Nowhere is this more evident than once-fertile / once-Catholic Italy — a land where children who actually have a first cousin are now in the minority.
The Times article – penned by a secretly delighted Jason Horowitz – accurately explains the dire dilemma:
“Italy’s population is aging and shrinking at the fastest rate in the West, forcing the country to adapt to a booming population of elderly that puts it at the forefront of a global demographic trend that experts call the “silver tsunami.” But it faces a demographic double whammy, with a drastically sinking birthrate that is among the lowest in Europe. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has said Italy is “destined to disappear” unless it changes.”(emphasis added)
Under normal circumstances, it takes a birth-rate of 2.1 children per woman just to maintain population. Italy has now been so infertile for so long that even an unforeseeable spike in births would not correct the death-to-birth imbalance for many years. And it’s not just Italy. Following close behind in this race to extinction are Germany, France, Britain, Spain, Scandinavia etc — as well as the White element of the United States, Canada and the lands “Down Under.”
1. Horrorshitz and his crowd know EXACTLY where this is headed — and are pleased to report about it, now that trend appears to be irreversible. // 2. Mamma Mia! Why a we no gotta no granachildren?”
The dim-witted analysts of sports journalism remain mystified as to why the once-legendary Italian National team cannot even qualify for the quadrennial World Cup tournaments — let alone advance to the finals. This particular fan of the “Azzurri” foresaw this inevitable development years ago. The pool of young players has been steadily shrinking because so many potential stars were not born!
In terms of the Italian / European labor force — which keeps the doors of commerce open and supports the elderly — there aren’t enough younger people to take the places of the retiring and the dying — unless, of course, the floodgates of Turd World immigration (for both professionals and laborers) are opened up. That would “save” Europe — and judging by this snide comment by Horowitz, that’s exactly what “they” are wishing upon Italy:
“Critics say (Jewspeak for “Marxist Jews say”) that Meloni’s “Italians First” opposition to immigration hurts population growth.”
This is indeed pure premeditated replacement — “Kalergism!”
Decades before the final integration & consolidation of the European nations into what we now know as the EU, Richard Coudenhove Kalergi’s “Pan-European” movement — as confirmed by Kalergi himself in his own autobiography — here — was financially backed by Jewish Cabal billionaire bosses such as “Baron” Louis de Rothschild, Bernard Baruch & The Brothers Warburg (Max & Paul). Kalergi also managed to attract important heads of state to his bosses’ long term integration project.
The “usual suspects” called for Tucker Carlson to be fired when he spoke about the “Great Replacement.” Why do (((they))) always get so upset when this topic is mentioned? What exactly is (((their))) interest in it?
As far back as 1922, Kalergi aimed to create a global federation. European integration would be the first step in creating this future world government. This “founding front-man” of the EU also envisioned the silent genocide for the Whites of Europe. But in order for Kalergi’s openly-described “New Europe” of mixed races and slave citizens to rise, European “Fascism” had to fall. And THAT is what World War II was really all about! Indeed, Hitler himself, writing in Mein Kampf (1924), referred to Kalergi as a “cosmopolitan bastard.” (here) Years later, the “Nazis” chased Kalergi’s ilk out of Austria after the 1938 Germany-Austria merger (the Anschluss).
In his book “Praktischer Idealismus”(Practical Idealism), Kalergi boldly declared that the citizens of the future “United States of Europe” will not be White people. In his own words:
“The man of the future will be of mixed race. The races and classes of today will gradually disappear due to the elimination of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with the diversity of individuals.”
Of course, Kalergi’s Jewish paymasters will not be replaced or blended out by this “Eurasian-Negroid race of the future.” Far from it. Writes the hired hack of his beloved paymasters (have your barf bag ready):
“Instead of destroying European Judaism, Europe, against her will, refined and educated this people, driving them to their future status as a leading nation through this artificial evolutionary process. It’s not surprising that the people that escaped from the Ghetto-Prison, became the spiritual nobility of Europe.”(emphasis added)
The fall of Whitey and the rise of the Jewish One Worlders. Was Kalergi a “prophet?” Not exactly. The game was rigged this way — and he knew it.
*Note: Though the White Man is being targeted for total extinction — an overall depopulation agenda also applies to non-White nations as well. There are simply too many of us (all races) – for them to control.

Operation Barbarossa. Did Stalin Foresee Hitler’s Invasion?
In attacking eastwards from June 1941 the Nazis intended to annex the Ukraine, all of European Russia, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, while establishing a satellite Finnish nation to the north-east. A greatly enlarged Germany would thus be created, serving as a homeland for hundreds of millions of those belonging to the so-called Germanic and Nordic races. As envisaged by Nazi planners, this expansion would provide the economic base to sustain the thousand year Reich.
According to Adolf Hitler’s Directive No. 18 issued on 12 November 1940, the goal of his eastern invasion was to occupy and hold a line from Archangel, in the far north-west of Russia, to Astrakhan, almost 1,300 miles southward; further conquering Leningrad, Moscow, the Donbas, Kuban (in southern Russia) and the Caucasus.
Nothing was mentioned as to what the Germans would do, once the Archangel-Astrakhan line had been reached. The Wehrmacht’s objective was, however, to annihilate the Soviet forces in western Russia through massive armoured spearheads and encirclements, thereby preventing the Red Army’s withdrawal further east.
It should be stated, firstly, that the USSR had no plans in 1940 or 1941 to attack Nazi Germany; nor did the Soviets hold ambitions to sweep across all of mainland Europe in a war of conquest. There really was no need for the world’s largest state to take control of other vast continents.
David Glantz, the US military historian and retired colonel, realised that Soviet ruler Joseph Stalin’s position in 1941 was that of a defensive one. Glantz wrote how, “Stalin was guilty of wishful thinking, of hoping to delay war for at least another year, in order to complete the reorganization of his armed forces. He worked at a fever pitch throughout the spring of 1941, trying desperately to improve the Soviet Union’s defensive posture while seeking to delay the inevitable confrontation”.
Glantz’ views are supported by other experienced historians like England’s Antony Beevor. He observed that “the Red Army was simply not in a state to launch a major offensive in the summer of 1941”; but Beevor did not entirely exclude the possibility that Stalin “may have been considering a preventive attack in the winter of 1941, or more probably in 1942, when the Red Army would be better trained and equipped”.
Was the Soviet leadership aware of the threat that Hitler posed to their state?; and which was gradually developing around them like a dark cloud. Early in July 1940 a report compiled by the Soviet intelligence agency, the NKGB, was sent to the Kremlin. It revealed that the Third Reich’s General Staff had requested Germany’s Transport Ministry to furnish details, regarding rail capacities for Wehrmacht soldiers to be shifted from west to east. It constituted the first hint of what lay ahead. This was the period, in the high summer of 1940, when serious discussions started between Hitler and his generals, relating to an attack on Russia.
As early as 31 July 1940 the German planning for an invasion of the Soviet Union “was in full swing”, as noted by US author Harrison E. Salisbury. Earlier in July Hitler had initially pondered attacking Russia in the autumn of 1940 but, by late July, he concluded it was too late in the year with poor weather fast approaching.
There is little indication that Stalin, or high-ranking Soviet officials, were at all worried by the first warning signals they received through intelligence about Nazi intentions. During early August 1940, the British obtained information suggesting Hitler was planning to destroy Russia, and London passed on their findings to Moscow. Stalin ignored them as he strongly distrusted the British, not without some reason. This was based in part on Stalin’s recent experiences in dealing with Conservative governments who were, to put it kindly, of an unfriendly disposition towards the Soviet Union.
London and Paris refused to sign a pact with the Kremlin in the spring and summer of 1939 – which would have aligned the British, French and Russians against Nazi Germany. Stalin had no choice but to then finalize an agreement with Hitler that autumn, and these unwanted realities have since been suppressed by institutions like the German-led European Union.
The Nazi-Soviet Pact of 23 August 1939 had served the Soviets well, until the Wehrmacht swiftly routed France from May to June 1940. The manner of the French defeat astonished and disturbed Stalin, who was expecting a long, drawn-out conflict in the west, as in the First World War.
Yet Stalin’s agreement with Hitler had kept Russia out of the heavy fighting for now, while the Kremlin made territorial gains by taking over the eastern half of Poland, on 6 October 1939. With the end of the Winter War against Finland, the Soviets absorbed around 10% of Finnish land in March 1940. At the beginning of August 1940 Stalin officially annexed the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, having first occupied those states in mid-June 1940, which resulted in pro-German officials fleeing the region. Stalin’s march into the Baltic came as a response to the Nazi triumphs on the western front, and his understandable fear of Baltic nationalism and possible German penetration near Soviet frontiers.
Basil Liddell Hart, the retired British Army captain and military theorist wrote, “Hitler had agreed that the Baltic states should be within the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence, not to their actual occupation; and he felt that he had been tricked by his partner; although most of his advisers realistically considered the Russian move into the Baltic states to be a natural precaution, inspired by fear of what Hitler might attempt after his victory in the west”.
During the days after the Fall of France, Stalin occupied the Romanian territories of Northern Bukovina and Bessarabia. Until World War I, Bessarabia had belonged to the Russian Empire for about a century, but Northern Bukovina never before comprised part of Russia. In the eyes of Hitler and German generals, Stalin’s advance into parts of northern Romania was dangerous and provocative. Hitler first learnt of Stalin’s plan to reincorporate Bessarabia on 23 June 1940, when just after sunrise the Nazi leader was victoriously touring Paris in an open topped vehicle. Hitler became irritated when he heard the news. He felt that Bessarabia’s return to Russia would bring Stalin intolerably close to the Axis oil wells, at the city of Ploesti in southern Romania.
During a meeting with Benito Mussolini in the Bavarian Alps on 19 January 1941, Hitler told his Italian counterpart, “now in the age of airpower, the Romanian oil fields can be turned into an expanse of smoking debris by air attack from Russia and the Mediterranean, and the life of the Axis depends on these oil fields”.
Over the course of World War II, Ploesti’s wells furnished the Nazi empire with at least 35% of its entire oil, other accounts state as much as 60%; but the latter figure is most likely excessive and above the overall average. For many years Romania was Europe’s largest oil producing country by far, and the fifth biggest on earth in 1941 and 1942, having overtaken Mexico. The significant oil sources in Indonesia (Dutch East Indies) fell under Axis control in early 1942, when that country was overrun by Japanese armies, and they would remain there for over three years.
Hitler wanted his Romanian oil fields to be formidably defended; he ordered the Wehrmacht to place scores of heavy and medium German anti-aircraft guns around the Ploesti refineries, and that smoke screens also be deployed; the latter were effective at obscuring the installations from enemy planes, which were shot down in large numbers.
The Germans created limited quantities of oil from synthetic hydrogenation processes, involving materials like coal. This mostly benefited the Luftwaffe, not so much the panzers and other ground vehicles. The terms of the non-aggression deal with Russia ensured the Reich received in total 900,000 tons of Soviet oil, from September 1939 to June 1941. This was not a huge amount, considering the Wehrmacht consumed three million tons of oil in 1940 alone.
Nazi Germany was also supplied with oil by the United States, then unrivalled as the world’s biggest oil producer and exporter; specifically the dealings that American corporations like Texaco and Standard Oil conducted with the Nazis, sometimes secretly through other countries, along with US-controlled subsidiaries based in the Reich. In addition, arriving from the globe’s third largest oil manufacturing state, Venezuela, then a major US client, came shipments of petroleum sent across the Atlantic, destined for the German war machine.
Altogether “around 150 American companies” had “business links to Nazi Germany”, the Israeli journalist Ofer Aderet outlined, writing for the left-leaning newspaper Haaretz. US business deals with the Nazis, Aderet wrote, “included huge loans, large investments, cartel agreements, the construction of plants in Germany as part of the Third Reich’s rearmament, and the supply of massive amounts of war matériel.
Meanwhile, Stalin’s reintegration of Bessarabia in early July 1940 was providing a buffer to the Soviet defence of its navy, in the Black Sea slightly further east; including added security to Russian naval bases, such at the port of Odessa in southern Ukraine. The Soviet advance into Romania “was worse than ‘a slap in the face’ for Hitler”, Liddell Hart observed as “it placed the Russians ominously close to the Romanian oil fields on which he counted for his own supply”. On 29 July 1940 Hitler spoke to his Chief-of-Operations, General Alfred Jodl, about the potential of fighting Russia if Stalin attempted to seize Ploesti.
On 9 August 1940 General Jodl issued a directive titled “Reconstruction East”, ordering that German transport and supplies be bolstered in the east, so that plans would be cemented by the spring of 1941 for an attack on Russia. It was at this time that Winston Churchill’s government began warning Moscow of the German invasion plans; but Stalin strongly suspected that the British wanted to drag him into the war, just to take the pressure off London. Stalin certainly believed that Soviet armies would have to fight the Germans some day, but not just yet.
Soviet designs towards Germany remained non-threatening. On 1 August 1940 the Soviet Union’s foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, said that the Nazi-Soviet Pact was centred not on “fortuitous considerations of a transient nature, but on the fundamental political interests of both countries”. Nevertheless by September 1940, Soviet commanders stationed along their western frontier began talking about Hitler’s “Drang nach Osten”, meaning the dictator’s proposal for eastward expansion. Soviet military men spoke about Hitler’s habit of carrying around a picture of Frederick Barbarossa, the red-bearded Prussian emperor who centuries before had waged war against the Slavs.
On 12 November 1940 foreign minister Molotov, a staunch communist, landed in Germany by aircraft. Upon Molotov’s arrival in Berlin, Stalin told him to indicate to the Germans that he wanted a wide-ranging deal with them. Stalin still thought a partnership with Hitler into the near future was attainable. Instead, during the talks Nazi officials presented to Molotov a junior partnership for Soviet Russia, in a German-dominated global alliance. Soviet policy, as the Nazis insisted, was to be focused on south Asia, towards India, and a conflict with Britain. This did not satisfy Stalin at all.
Following Molotov’s dispatching of the report on his disappointing discussions in Berlin, according to Yakov Chadaev, a Soviet administrator, Stalin was certain that Hitler intended to wage war on Russia. Less than two weeks later, on 25 November 1940 Stalin informed the Bulgarian communist politician Georgi Dimitrov “our relations with Germany are polite on the surface, but there is serious friction between us”.
Marshal Aleksandr Vasilevsky, a top level Russian officer who repeatedly met with Stalin, had accompanied Molotov to Berlin. Vasilevsky returned home convinced that Hitler would invade the Soviet Union. Vasilevsky’s opinion was shared by many of his Red Army colleagues. After Molotov had left Berlin, Hitler met German executives and made it clear to them that he was going to attack Russia.
In the autumn of 1940 draft plans for the strategic positioning of Soviet divisions along their western frontier, in preparation for a German invasion, were sent to the Kremlin by the Russian High Command. Stalin did not respond. Rather ominously, in the second half of November 1940 the central European countries of Hungary, Slovakia and Romania all joined Hitler’s new European order, by signing up to the Axis coalition. Hitler could now depend especially on the support of Romania, under Ion Antonescu. He was a fervently anti-communist and anti-Semitic military dictator, who at age 58 had come to power on 4 September 1940.
Romania is by no means a leading nation today, but during the war years it was indeed an important country. This was mostly due to her natural resources and to a lesser extent its strategic location, beside the Black Sea and the Ukraine.
Stalin was growing slightly concerned as 1940 reached its end. Addressing Soviet generals before Christmas, Stalin referenced passages from Hitler’s book ‘Mein Kampf’, and he spoke of the Nazi leader’s stated goal of attacking the USSR some day. Stalin said “we will try to delay the war for two years”, until December 1942 or into 1943. Shortly after the Wehrmacht’s crushing of the French, Molotov recalled him saying, “we would be able to confront the Germans on an equal basis only by 1943”.
On 18 December 1940 Hitler released his Directive No. 21 outlining, “The German armed forces must be prepared to crush Soviet Russia in a quick campaign, before the end of the war against England”. On Christmas Day 1940, the Soviet military attaché in Berlin received an anonymous letter. It expounded that the Germans were preparing a military operation against Russia, for the spring of 1941.
By 29 December 1940 Soviet intelligence agencies had possession of the basic facts regarding Operation Barbarossa, its design and planned start date. In late January 1941 the Japanese military diplomat Yamaguchi, returning to the Russian capital from Berlin, said to a member of the Soviet naval diplomatic service, “I do not exclude the possibility of conflict between Berlin and Moscow”.
Yamaguchi’s remark was forwarded on 30 January 1941 to Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, a prominent Soviet officer who knew Stalin personally. Even before late January 1941, the Soviet Defence Commissariat was concerned enough to draft a general directive to the Russian border commands and fleets, which for the first time would name Germany as the probable enemy in coming war.
In early February 1941, the Soviet Naval Commissariat started receiving almost daily accounts, about the arrival of German Army specialists in Bulgarian ports; and preparations for the installment of German coastal armaments there. This information was relayed to Stalin on 7 February 1941. In fact, other senior figures such as Marshal Filipp Golikov, the chief of intelligence for the USSR’s General Staff, said that all Soviet reports on German planning were forwarded to Stalin himself.
As Molotov was about to make his way to Berlin the previous November, Stalin stressed to him that Bulgaria is “the most important question of the negotiations” and should be placed in the Soviet realm. On 1 March 1941 Bulgaria instead joined the Axis. In early February 1941, the Russian command in Leningrad reported German troop movements in Finland. This was no laughing matter as Finland shares an eastern border with Russia.
The Kremlin could not count on Finnish loyalty in the event of a German attack. Finland’s Commander-in-Chief Gustaf Mannerheim, in his mid-70s and an anti-Bolshevik, had been closely acquainted with the deposed Russian Tsar Nicholas II. Mannerheim previously kept a portrait of the Tsar and said, “He was my emperor”. The Finns were far from grateful when the Soviet military rolled into their country in November 1939, without a declaration of war. In February 1941 the Leningrad Command reported German conversations with Sweden, pertaining to the transit of Wehrmacht troops through Swedish land.
The Soviet political administration wanted to emphasize awareness to the Red Army, to be prepared for engagement. Stalin rejected this approach, because he was afraid it would appear to Hitler that he was gathering forces to start an offensive against Germany. Stalin warned General Georgy Zhukov that “Mobilisation means war”, and he did not want to risk a conflict with Germany in 1941.
On 15 February 1941, a German typist entered the Soviet consulate in Berlin. He brought with him a German-Russian phrase book, which was being published in his printing shop in extra large edition – included in it were such phrases as, “Are you a Communist?”, “Hands up or I’ll shoot” and “Surrender”. The ramifications were clear enough. Around this time, Russian State Security acquired reliable intelligence stating that the German invasion of Britain was suspended indefinitely, until Russia was defeated.
In late February and early March 1941, German reconnaissance flights were taking place over the Baltic states under Russian control. These were severe infringements into the Soviet zone. The appearance of Nazi planes became frequent over the coastal city of Libau, in western Latvia, above the Estonian capital Tallinn, and over Estonia’s largest island Saaremaa.
Russian Admiral Nikolai Kuznetsov, who intensely disliked the fascist states, granted the Soviet Baltic fleet authority to open fire on German aircraft. On 17 and 18 March 1941, Luftwaffe planes were spotted over Libau and promptly shot at by Soviet personnel. Nazi aircraft were then sighted near the city of Odessa, on the Black Sea. Admiral Kuznetsov was summoned to the Kremlin by Stalin, where he found him with the police chief Lavrentiy Beria. Stalin reprimanded Kuznetsov for giving the order to shoot at German planes, and he expressly forbid Soviet units to do so again.
Hitler’s Secret Directive 18
After the failed November 1940 discussions in Berlin, of the Soviet Union’s foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, both he and his leader Joseph Stalin occasionally remarked that Nazi Germany was no longer so prompt in fulfilling its obligations to Moscow. This was relating to the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, of 23 August 1939, an agreement which was meant to last for 10 years. Stalin and Molotov did not attribute much significance to the slacking off in Berlin’s punctuality, as the delivery of German goods and technology to Soviet Russia increasingly did not appear on schedule.
Unknown to Stalin and Molotov, on the very day the Soviet foreign minister had landed in Berlin for talks, 12 November 1940, Adolf Hitler secretly issued Directive No. 18. It outlined the planned German invasion of the USSR, including the envisaged conquest of major cities like Kiev, Kharkov, Leningrad and Moscow. On 18 December 1940 Führer Directive No. 21 was completed, which stated that the Wehrmacht’s attack on the Soviet Union should proceed in mid-May 1941.
For Russia, as 1941 advanced beyond its opening weeks, the warning signs about the German threat were becoming difficult to overlook. False reports were featured in the Nazi press about “military preparations” being made across the border in the Soviet camp. The same German media tactics had preceded Hitler’s invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland.
On 23 February 1941, the Soviet Defence Commissariat published a decree stating that Nazi Germany was the next likely enemy. Soviet frontier areas were requested to make the necessary preparations to repel the attack, but the Kremlin did not respond.
On 22 March 1941, the Russian intelligence agency NKGB obtained what it believed to be solid material that “Hitler has given secret instructions to suspend the fulfillment of orders for the Soviet Union”, regarding shipments tied to the Nazi-Soviet Pact. For example the Czech Skoda plant, under Nazi control, had been ordered to halt deliveries to Russia. On 25 March 1941 the NKGB produced a special report, expounding that the Germans had amassed 120 divisions beside the Soviet border.
For months there were concerning cables coming from the Russian military attaché in Nazi-occupied France, General Ivan Susloparov. The German authorities had curtailed Soviet embassy duties in France, and in February 1941 the Russian embassy was moved from Paris southwards to Vichy, in central France. Only a Soviet consulate was left in Paris.

During April 1941, General Susloparov informed Moscow that the Germans would attack Russia in late May 1941. Slightly later on, he explained it had been delayed for a month due to bad weather. At the end of April, General Susloparov collected further information about the German invasion through colleagues from Yugoslavia, America, China, Turkey and Bulgaria. This intelligence was forwarded to Moscow by mid-May 1941.
Again in April 1941, a Czech agent reported that the Wehrmacht was going to execute military operations against the Soviet Union. The report was sent to Stalin, who became angry when he read it and replied, “This informant is an English provocateur. Find out who is making this provocation and punish him”.
On 10 April 1941 Stalin and Molotov were given a summary by the NKGB, about a meeting that Hitler had with Prince Paul of Yugoslavia at the Berghof, in early March 1941. Hitler was described as telling Prince Paul he would begin his invasion of Russia in late June 1941. Stalin’s response to the alarming reports, such as this, was one of appeasement of Hitler, though a similar strategy had failed for the Western powers.
Remarkably, through April 1941 Stalin increased the volume of shipments of Russian supplies to the Third Reich, amounting to: 208,000 tons of grain, 90,000 tons of oil, 6,340 tons of metal, etc. Much of these essentials would be used by the Nazis in their attack on Russia.
Marshal Filipp Golikov, head of intelligence for the USSR’s General Staff, insisted that all Soviet reports relating to Nazi plans were forwarded directly to Stalin. Other accounts informing Moscow about an impending Wehrmacht invasion came from abroad too. As early as January 1941 Sumner Welles, an influential US government official, warned the Soviet Ambassador to America, Konstantin Umansky, that Washington had information showing Germany would engage in war against Russia, by the spring of 1941.
During the final week of March 1941 US Army cryptanalysts, experts at deciphering codes, started producing obvious indications of a German relocation to the east. This material was relayed to the Soviets. America’s cryptographers had cracked Japanese codes in the second half of 1940; including the Purple Cipher, Japan’s highest diplomatic code, which ensured that the Franklin Roosevelt government was uniquely well informed of Tokyo’s intentions.
The US commercial attaché in Berlin, Sam E. Woods, came into contact with high-level German staff officers opposed to the Nazi regime. They were aware of the planning for Operation Barbarossa. Woods was in a position to discreetly observe the German preparations from July 1940, until December of that year. Woods sent his findings to Washington. President Roosevelt agreed that the Kremlin should be told of these developments. On 20 March 1941, Welles once more saw Soviet Ambassador Umansky and forwarded the news.
Russia’s embassy in Berlin noticed that the Nazi press was reprinting passages from Hitler’s 1925 book ‘Mein Kampf’. The paragraphs in question were about his proposal for “lebensraum”, German enlargement at the Soviet Union’s expense.
The Russians had a formidable espionage agent, Richard Sorge, operating in Tokyo since 1933, the year that Hitler took power in Germany. Sorge, a German citizen and committed communist, established an especially close relationship with the imprudent Nazi ambassador to Japan, General Eugen Ott. The data Sorge received was not always 100% accurate, but it allowed him access to the most confidential and up to date German plans.
On 5 March 1941, Sorge dispatched to the Soviets a microfilm of a German telegram sent by the foreign minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop, to the German ambassador Ott – and which outlined that the Wehrmacht attack on Russia would fall in mid-June 1941. On 15 May, Sorge reported to Moscow that the German invasion would start somewhere between 20 to 22 of June. A few days later on 19 May Sorge cabled, “Against the Soviet Union will be concentrated nine armies, 150 divisions”. He later increased this figure to between 170 to 190 divisions, and that Operation Barbarossa will start without an ultimatum or declaration of war.
All of this fell on deaf ears. Sorge, who had his vices being a heavy drinker and womaniser, was ridiculed by Stalin just before the Germans attacked as someone “who has set up factories and brothels in Japan”. To be fair to Stalin, at the late date of 17 June 1941 Sorge was not fully certain if Barbarossa would go ahead. Why? The German military attaché in Tokyo became unsure if it would proceed, and sometimes a spy is only as good as his or her sources.
Meanwhile in March 1941, Russia’s State Security forces acquired an account about a meeting the Romanian autocrat, Ion Antonescu, had with a German official named Bering, where the subject of war with Russia was discussed. Antonescu had in fact been informed by Hitler, as early as 14 January 1941, of the German plan to invade Russia, such was the prominent position Romania held in Nazi war aims. The German-controlled Ploesti refineries in southern Romania produced 5.5 million tons of oil in 1941, and 5.7 million tons in 1942.
Italian dictator Benito Mussolini learnt of the German attack on Russia only after it had commenced – in part because Hitler believed he did not really need Italy, he had not asked for their help; and it was also hardly Italy’s fight, considering that country’s position cut adrift somewhat in south-central Europe. The Italian people, furthermore, would not want their troops involved in a brutal conflict against Russia, and which had nothing to do with Italy. The Duce had other ideas, and after the war the Austrian commando Otto Skorzeny correctly wrote, “Benito Mussolini was not a good wartime leader”.
By mid-March 1941, the Soviet leadership had a detailed description of the Barbarossa plan. The period, throughout March and early April 1941, saw tensions rise significantly between Berlin and Moscow, notably in south-eastern Europe. The American author Harrison E. Salisbury noted, “This was the moment in which Yugoslavia with tacit encouragement from Moscow defied the Germans, and in which the Germans moved rapidly and decisively to end the war in Greece, and occupy the whole of the Balkans. When Moscow signed a treaty with Yugoslavia on April 6 – the day Hitler attacked Belgrade – the German reaction was so savage that Stalin became alarmed”.
On 25 March 1941 the Yugoslav government of the regent, Prince Paul, had signed an agreement in Vienna, which effectively made Yugoslavia a Nazi client state. Nevertheless, just two days later patriotic factions in the Serbian populace, assisted by British agents and led by chief of the Yugoslav air force, General Dusan Simovic, overthrew the pro-German regency. They installed a monarchy headed by the teenage king, Peter II of Yugoslavia; and a new government was formed in the capital Belgrade which declared its neutrality. Upon hearing this, Winston Churchill declared it to be “great news” and that Yugoslavia had “found its soul” while it would receive from London “all possible aid and succour”.
Hitler was irate at Churchill’s gloating and the sudden reversal in Yugoslav policy. Feeling he had been betrayed somehow, he decided to teach the Yugoslavs a lesson. Hitler ordered his Luftwaffe chief Hermann Göring to launch a furious air attack on Belgrade. In the days from 6 April 1941, thousands of people were killed in Belgrade from Nazi air raids. On the ground Yugoslav forces were no match for the Germans, who were helped by the Italians, and the fighting was all over after less than two weeks. Churchill’s aid and succour was sadly not forthcoming.
The Nazi-led Axis powers likewise invaded Greece on 6 April 1941, and by the middle of that month the Greek position had become untenable; therefore on 24 April British forces in Greece began their evacuation of the country. This was an operation the British had by now developed a real expertise in, as to escape the German blows they previously evacuated Dunkirk, Le Havre and Narvik.
Because of his subjugation of Yugoslavia and Greece, Hitler on 30 April 1941 postponed the attack on the Soviet Union until 22 June. It has sometimes been claimed that this delay, of just over five weeks, was a central factor in later derailing Barbarossa. Though an attractive one, this theory does not stand up under closer inspection.
The Nazi invasion eventually petered out, but largely due to strategic errors committed by the German high command and Hitler, such as not directing the majority of their forces towards Moscow, the USSR’s communications centre. Moreover, Canadian historian Donald J. Godspeed observed, “the middle of May was really too early for an invasion of Russia. Before the middle of June, late spring rains would ruin the roads, flood the rivers, and make movement very difficult except on the few paved highways. Thus, since the initial surprise thrust had to go rapidly to yield the best results, Hitler probably gained more than he lost by his postponement”.
The spring and early summer of 1941 were particularly wet, across eastern Poland and the western parts of European Russia. Had the Germans invaded as originally intended on 15 May 1941, their advance would have bogged down in the first weeks. It is interesting to note that the Polish-Russian river valleys were still overflowing on 1 June, according to the American historian Samuel W. Mitcham.
On 3 April 1941 Churchill attempted to warn Stalin, through the British ambassador to Russia, Stafford Cripps, that London’s intelligence data indicated the Germans were preparing an attack on Russia. Stalin gave no credence whatever to British intelligence reports, because he was distrustful of Britain even more so than America, and it is likely such warnings if anything increased his suspicions further.
In late April 1941 Jefferson Patterson, the First Secretary of the US Embassy in Berlin, invited his Russian counterpart Valentin Berezhkov to cocktails at his home. Among the invitees was a Luftwaffe major, apparently on leave from North Africa. Late in the evening this German major confided to Berezhkov, “The fact is I’m not here on leave. My squadron was recalled from North Africa, and yesterday we got orders to transfer to the east, to the region of Lodz [central Poland]. There may be nothing special in that, but I know many other units have also been transferred to your frontiers recently”. Berezhkov was disturbed to hear this, and never before had a Wehrmacht officer divulged top secret news like that. Berezhkov passed on what he heard to Moscow.
Throughout April 1941, daily bulletins from the Soviet General Staff and Naval Staff outlined German troop gatherings along the Russian frontier. On 1 May an account from the General Staff to the Soviet border military districts stated, “In the course of all March and April… the German command has carried out an accelerated transfer of troops to the borders of the Soviet Union”. Try as the Germans might, it was impossible for them to conceal the gathering of vast numbers of their soldiers. The German presence was obvious along the central River Bug boundary; the Soviet chief of frontier guards asked Moscow for approval to relocate the families of Red Army troops further east. Permission was not granted and the commander was upbraided for showing “panic”.
Nazi reconnaissance flights, near or over Soviet territory, were increasing as the spring of 1941 continued. Between 28 March and 18 April, the Russians said that German planes had been sighted 80 times making incursions. On 15 April, a German aircraft was forced into an emergency landing near the city of Rovno, in western Ukraine. On board a camera was found, along with exposed film and a map of the USSR. The German chargé d’affaires in Moscow, Werner von Tippelskirch, was summoned to the Foreign Commissariat on 22 April 1941. He met stiff protestations about the German overflights.
Yet Nazi planes were hardly ever shot at, because Stalin forbade the Soviet armed forces from doing so, for fear of provoking an invasion. In early May 1941 the German propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels wrote in his diary, “Stalin and his people remain completely inactive. Like a rabbit confronted by a snake”.
On 5 May 1941 Stalin received from his intelligence agencies a report detailing, “German officers and soldiers speak openly of the coming war, between Germany and the Soviet Union, as a matter already decided. The war is expected to start after the completion of spring planting”. Also on 5 May Stalin gave a speech to young Soviet officers at the Kremlin, and he spoke seriously of the Nazi threat. “War with Germany is inevitable ”Stalin said, but there is no sign the Soviet ruler believed a German attack was imminent.
On 24 May 1941, the head of the German western press department, Karl Bemer, got drunk at a reception in the Bulgarian embassy in Berlin. Bemer was heard roaring “we will be boss of all Russia and Stalin will be dead. We will demolish the Russians quicker than we did the French”. This incident quickly came to the attention of Ivan Filippov, a Russian correspondent in Berlin working for the TASS news agency. Filippov, also a Soviet intelligence operative, heard that Bemer was thereafter arrested by German police.
In early June 1941 Admiral Mikhail Vorontsov, the Russian naval attaché in Berlin, telegrammed his fellow Admiral Nikolai Kuznetsov, who was in Moscow, and stated that the Germans would invade around the 20th to the 22nd of June. Kuznetsov checked to see if Stalin was given a copy of this telegram, and he found that he certainly received it.
Nazi Germany’s Economic Exploitation of the USSR
Looking back over an eight decade time-span at the design for Operation Barbarossa, the June 1941 German-led attack on the USSR, its invasion plan betrays a pathological overconfidence. The strategic planning, of advancing across a breadth of many hundreds of miles of terrain, was excessively ambitious to the point of being grotesque.
Barbarossa’s intelligence details were also poorly worked out. Nazi estimates on Soviet military capacity were based more on guesswork than reliable information, and this underestimation of the enemy would come back to haunt them.
On 13 May 1941 in preparation for the invasion, Adolf Hitler’s close colleague Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel issued an order outlining that, upon capture, all Soviet commissars were to be executed immediately. The commissars were Communist Party officials attached to military units, in order to imbue Red Army troops with Bolshevik principles and loyalty to the Soviet state.
It was because of this that Hitler designated the commissars to be liquidated in their thousands. The order signed, on 13 May, continued that Soviet civilians suspected of committing offences against the Wehrmacht could be shot, on the request of any German officer. Most maliciously of all, it was made clear that German soldiers found perpetrating crimes against non-combatants need not be prosecuted.
Those Wehrmacht officers that did not believe in Nazism, i.e. because they were monarchists or conservatives, could still reprimand German troops for misdeeds if they wished to, and this did occur. One of the most prominent German Army commanders in the early 1940s, Field Marshal Fedor von Bock leading Army Group Center, was an avowed monarchist who disliked Nazism.
The Jewish Virtual Library, overseen by American foreign policy analyst Mitchell Bard, acknowledged that von Bock “privately expressed outrage at the atrocities” committed by SS killing squads on the Eastern front; but the field marshal was “unwilling to take the matter directly to Hitler” though he did send “one of his subordinate officers to lodge the complaint”. The Jewish Virtual Library noted that the crimes committed against Soviet civilians further “outraged many of von Bock’s subordinate officers”.
This is not to suggest the Wehrmacht, as a whole, was clean in its conduct in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. It was by no means that, which came primarily as a result of staunch Nazis being placed in positions of authority in the German Army; like the Chief-of-Staff Franz Halder and Field Marshal Walter von Reichenau, commander of the German 6th Army.
Among the invasion’s goals was flagrant exploitation, looting and annexation. With this in mind, the Nazis established the Economic Office East, which was placed under the authority of Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering, the second most powerful man in the Third Reich. Goering informed Benito Mussolini’s son-in-law, Count Galeazzo Ciano, that “This year [1941] between 20 and 30 million persons will die in Russia of hunger. Perhaps it is well that it should be so, for certain nations must be decimated. But even if it were not, nothing can be done about it”. Count Ciano, who was the Italian Foreign Minister since 1936, passed on Goering’s comments to Mussolini.
More than three weeks after the German attack, Goering wrote on 15 July 1941, “Use of the occupied territories should be made primarily in the food and oil sectors of the economy. Get to Germany as much food and oil as possible – that is the main economic goal of the campaign”.
It is still not entirely clear whether the Nazi method of systematizing the plunder and administering the occupied territories (known as Plan Oldenburg) was based on the belief that the Reich required this amount of foodstuffs, with the deaths of millions of Russians and Jews from starvation being a side effect; or whether their desire was the depopulation of the conquered regions, with starvation used as a convenient process for mass murder. Whatever the principal motive, the prospects of Soviet citizens unfortunate enough to fall under Nazi occupation was grim.
The German march onto Russian soil was hardly a new historical occurrence. A generation before, the eastern divisions of the Imperial German Army, commanded by Erich Ludendorff and Paul von Hindenburg, had from late 1914 captured chunks of the Russian Empire’s territory; which on that occasion came after the Imperial Russian Army had marched into East Prussia.
German eastern expansion under Ludendorff and Hindenburg was concerned too with conquest, but theirs was more humane than Nazi policy, as it did not descend to the widespread killing of civilians or Jewish populations. Instead, Ludendorff and Hindenburg sought to commandeer livestock and horses, while exploiting “the extensive agricultural and forestry resources for the German war effort”, historians Jens Thiel and Christian Westerhoff observed.
Hitler’s East Prussian gauleiter Erich Koch, who would be in charge of ruling Nazi-occupied Ukraine, said that, “Our task is to suck from the Ukraine all the goods we can get hold of, without consideration of the feeling or the property of the Ukrainians. Gentlemen: I am expecting from you the utmost severity toward the native population”.
The 1941 German invasion force consisted of 136 divisions, which amounted to 3 million men. They were supported at the beginning by over half a million Finnish and Romanian troops, commanded by Gustaf Mannerheim and Ion Antonescu, two experienced career officers who for differing reasons desired the USSR’s destruction. Field Marshal Mannerheim of Finland, a monarchist and more moderate figure than General Antonescu, had never forgiven the Bolsheviks for shooting Tsar Nicholas II and his family on 17 July 1918; Mannerheim wept bitterly when he heard of the Tsar’s death, for he was both well acquainted with the Russian monarch and had served under him in the Imperial Russian Army.
Of the 136 Wehrmacht divisions which would attack the USSR on 22 June 1941, a modest 19 of them were panzer divisions and 14 comprised of motor divisions. In all, about 600,000 German motor vehicles would roll to the east, but the Germans deployed up to 750,000 horses in the invasion. It demonstrates that the Wehrmacht was not the ultra-modern, motorized army that Nazi propaganda insisted it was.
Facing the Germans across the border, in the western USSR, were three very large Soviet Army Groups, comprising of 193 equivalent divisions. Fifty-four of these were tank or motor divisions, significantly more than the Germans had. Since 1932, Joseph Stalin spent huge sums in equipping the military with motorized machines and heavy armor. In particular, the Russians possessed a far greater number of tanks than the enemy; but the experience and quality of Soviet tank crews was noticeably inferior to the Germans, who were battle-hardened and well-versed in the Blitzkrieg (Lightning War) style of combat.
There were other serious Russian weaknesses. Stalin’s purge of the Red Army high command from May 1937 “affected the development of our armed forces and their combat preparedness”, Marshal Georgy Zhukov wrote, the most lauded Russian commander of the 20th century. The purges, though they targeted a minority of the entire Soviet military corps, had inflicted “enormous damage” on “the top echelons of the army command” Zhukov stated. It meant that paralysis was endemic in the Red Army’s decision-making apparatus, which would have serious implications around the time of the German invasion.
Hitler’s calculations for attacking the USSR were audacious, to put it mildly. The Fuehrer expected to overthrow Stalin’s Russia in about 8 weeks, and once that was accomplished, he intended to turn back and finish off Britain. Hitler estimated that he would not really be embroiled in a two-front war and, in this he was right, for now. The British were in no position in 1941 to interfere with the Nazi plan for eastward enlargement.
The German offensive was indeed to be launched across a massive front, but the Schwerpunkt – the heaviest point of the German blow – was to land north of the Pripet Marshes in Soviet Belarus. Here, two formidable forces, Army Group North led by Field Marshal Ritter von Leeb, and Army Group Center led by Field Marshal von Bock, would implement a giant pincers movement against the Soviet armies opposing them. They would then as envisaged continue advancing and take the capital city, Moscow, European Russia’s communications hub. This indicates that Hitler had originally assigned Moscow as a primary objective.
Von Leeb’s Army Group North comprised of the German 16th Army (commanded by Ernst Busch) and the 18th Army (Georg von Kuechler), supported by four panzer divisions under Colonel-General Erich Hoepner.
Army Group Center was, by some distance, the biggest of the three Army Groups which attacked the USSR. It consisted of the German 2nd Army (Maximilian von Weichs), the 4th Army (Günther von Kluge) and the 9th Army (Adolf Strauss), bolstered by two armored groups totaling 10 panzer divisions and commanded by Generals Heinz Guderian and Hermann Hoth.
Gerd von Rundstedt’s Army Group South was made up of the German 6th Army (Walter von Reichenau), the 17th Army (Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel), a German-Romanian Army (Eugen Ritter von Schobert), and supported by four panzer divisions under Colonel-General Ewald von Kleist. Von Rundstedt’s Army Group was designated to advance south of the Pripet Marshes.
In doing so, von Rundstedt was expected to move rapidly in conquering eastern Poland and, specifically, to capture the ancient Polish city of Lublin, close to the Ukrainian border. This would provide a launching pad for Army Group South’s panzers to thrust into the Ukraine, and take its capital Kiev, the Soviet Union’s third largest city with 930,000 inhabitants. Thereafter, von Rundstedt’s divisions would be requested to occupy all of the Ukraine, with Hitler wanting that country’s resources for pillaging, such as wheat, for it to become “the breadbasket of the Reich”, as he put it.
While Hitler gathered his 136 divisions along the Nazi-Soviet frontier, he left 46 divisions behind to guard the rest of mainland Europe. That number does seem excessive and many of those German formations would be left idle. Military historian Donald J. Goodspeed wrote, “Certainly far fewer than 46 divisions could have countered any British initiative on the continent, a possibility that was in any case unlikely”.
Although the Soviet Army proved much larger than the Nazis thought, it was unprepared for the attack that was to come. A considerable proportion of the Red Army in June 1941 was positioned too close to the Nazi-Soviet boundary which, since 1939, had been extended across Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Romania.
The Stalin Line, a series of fortifications constructed from the late 1920s, and which guarded the western USSR’s pre-1939 frontiers, had merely been partially dismantled. The new forward defense positions were incomplete by mid-1941. The Soviet military’s armored formations had also been broken up, and the tanks allotted to infantry divisions. The latter error was corrected by Stalin as he repositioned the armored divisions, but they were still in the process of entering full working order when the Germans attacked.
Furthermore, Stalin and the Red Army high command believed the focal point of the German assault would fall south of the Pripet Marshes – that is through the Ukraine – whereas the Germans would, as mentioned, strike most heavily north of the Pripet Marshes across Soviet Belarus. The Russian defenses were placed at their strongest in the wrong sector of the front. This misjudgment in part enabled Army Group Center to advance rapidly into the heart of Belarus, where the Red Army was not fortified so strongly.
Why Nazi Germany Failed to Defeat the Soviet Union
As the First World War was erupting from late summer 1914, the great majority of political leaders believed it would be of short duration.
Only the rare far-sighted individual knew what was coming, such as Herbert Kitchener, Britain’s Secretary of War. At one of the first British Cabinet conferences at the conflict’s outset, Kitchener predicted the fighting would rumble on for three years, and that Britain would eventually be required to deploy its full resources. His estimation of a three-year war was shy of just one year.
Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, recalled that Kitchener’s prediction had “seemed to most of us unlikely, if not incredible”. On 8 August 1914 Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, estimated that the war would last for nine months, which was longer than many thought.
Kitchener’s colleagues failed to realize, such was mankind’s advancements in technology by the early 20th century – about 150 years after the Industrial Revolution had begun in Britain around 1760 – that a war between the great powers would most likely be lengthy, and a slaughter of unprecedented proportions could only ensue. After the bloodletting finally stopped on 11 November 1918, realistic analysts like Vladimir Lenin stated that the waging of war was “a survival from the bourgeois world”; while the German commander Hans von Seeckt said “war was no longer an intelligent way to conduct a nation’s policy”.
The rise to power in Italy and Germany of fervent warmongers, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, was a near guarantee that another large-scale conflict was in the offing.
Both Mussolini and Hitler’s taking of power, in 1922 and 1933 respectively, was assisted massively by the social upheaval and destabilisation induced as a result of World War I.
Neville Chamberlain, Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini Meet in 1938
The weak-willed response of the western democracies to Nazi enlargement from the mid-1930s, particularly the timid French reaction, emboldened Hitler on the path to war. British professor Evan Mawdsley, who specialises in Russian history, wrote of the Third Reich’s position by 1941 that “invading Russia was not the fatal mistake of Nazi Germany. After all, what was Hitler’s alternative? Not to invade Russia? Inaction would have allowed Germany’s enemies to become stronger, and would have left Germany economically dependent on Russia. The lethal mistake had been made earlier, when Hitler’s adventures in Czechoslovakia and Poland led Germany into a general war”.
The fighting initially went as well as the Wehrmacht could have hoped for; they routed Poland in September 1939 and then scored further routine victories in Scandinavia and across western Europe, during the spring and summer of 1940. The principal opposing force, the French Army, had been decaying ever since 1917. That year mutinies spread to no less than 54 French divisions by 9 June 1917. Even in those formations where no mutinies occurred, over 50% of French soldiers returning from leave reported back drunk. These amazing occurrences were hushed up as best they could by the French military command, and the silence needlessly continued long afterwards.
Canadian historian Donald J. Goodspeed explained,
“Shame and pride are bad counselors, and the causes of the catastrophe in French morale that occurred in 1917 were never brought out into full daylight, where they could have been analysed and perhaps cured. That no real cure was affected, the debacle of 1940 conclusively proved”.
The Nazis now turned their attention to the main target of their imperialist foreign policy: the Soviet Union, which Hitler had envisaged conquering for many years. Hitler was given encouragement by the Soviet Army’s underwhelming performance, in the 1939-1940 Winter War against Finland, with its population of around 4 million.
Yet as the Finns’ leading commander Gustaf Mannerheim fairly concluded, the Soviets learnt lessons from their opening military shortcomings on Finnish soil, and their performance “slowly improved” as the weeks elapsed. The gradual uptake in Russia’s military display here was unknown to the few German military observers, who had accompanied the Red Army on their Finnish incursion. The Germans were left unimpressed by the first Soviet raids, before departing homeward early.
The Wehrmacht meanwhile enjoyed more swift triumphs, over Yugoslavia and Greece in April 1941, which only emboldened Hitler further. The German conquest of Yugoslavia and Greece compelled Hitler to postpone his invasion of the USSR by 38 days. This delay is often purported to be a crucial reason, in the Nazis’ failure to capture Moscow and overthrow the Soviet Union.
American military historian Samuel W. Mitcham, who focuses largely on the Nazi regime, revealed otherwise as “the spring rains in eastern Poland and the western sections of European Russia came late in 1941, and were much heavier than usual. Many of the Polish-Russian river valleys (including the Bug) were still flooded as late as June 1; therefore, the invasion of the Soviet Union could not have begun until after that”.
The ground in the western USSR had dried out by 22 June 1941. It was ideal for the panzers, half-tracks, and so on to move with ease. In addition, for weeks Joseph Stalin had refused to believe the swell of intelligence accounts he received in person from his own agencies, and from abroad, warning of a coming German attack.
Lt. Col. Goodspeed wrote,
“The reports from Soviet intelligence were the most plausible, accurate and detailed of all; and they displayed a remarkable convergence, which should have augmented their credibility. Victor Sukolov, the head of the Rote Kopelle [Red Orchestra] in Brussels, Rudolph Rössler in Switzerland, Leopold Trepper in Paris, and Dr. Richard Sorge in Tokyo all informed Stalin of Barbarossa”.
The Kremlin was clearly not expecting the German invasion to fall in the summer of 1941. Marshal Nikolay Voronov, a top level Russian commander in charge of the Red Army’s artillery forces, and a future Hero of the Soviet Union, remembered on the eve of Hitler’s attack, “I did not know in that time whether we had any kind of operative-strategic plan, in case of war. I only knew that the plan for artillery and combat artillery tactics had not yet been approved, although the first draft had been worked out in 1938”.
Further evidence of the lack of Russian preparedness was seen when, in the opening phase of the invasion, large numbers of Soviet airplanes were destroyed by the Germans, much of them on the ground. Air units of the Soviet Western Military District lost 740 of its 1,540 aircraft (a 48% loss) on the first day alone of the German attack; its local commander, General Ivan Kopets, viewed the destruction with despair and shot himself on 23 June 1941.
The ruin of the Soviet Air Force was even worse in the Baltic Military District. During the first three days of Operation Barbarossa, 920 Soviet aircraft out of a total of 1,080 were destroyed in the Baltic region, an 85% loss. Furthermore, many undamaged and repairable Russian planes had to be abandoned, as the Germans and their Axis allies (mainly Romanians and Finns at first) swarmed over Soviet terrain. By the first week of July 1941, the Soviets had lost almost 4,000 aircraft, while the Luftwaffe was shorn of just 550 of its planes at that point.
Stalin had been awoken by his security chief, Nikolai Vlasik, in the early hours of 22 June 1941, and he was told of heavy German shelling along the Nazi-Soviet frontier. Stalin at first refused to believe that the worst had occurred and he said, “Hitler surely doesn’t know about it”. Later in the morning of 22 June, Stalin ordered the Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov to seek out the German ambassador to the USSR, Friedrich von Schulenburg. The latter confirmed Nazi Germany’s declaration of war on the Soviet Union.
A dismayed Molotov (image on the right) reported back to Stalin,
“The German government has declared war on us”. Robert Service, the British historian of Soviet history, noted that upon hearing this, “Stalin slumped in his chair and an unbearable silence followed”. When General Georgy Zhukov then suggested they put in place measures, to hold up the German advance, Service wrote “Stalin continued to stipulate that Soviet ground forces should not infringe German territorial integrity”.
Contrary to what is commonly claimed, on learning that the Germans had certainly attacked with Hitler’s agreement, Stalin did not suffer a breakdown and disappear. On 23 June 1941 for example, as Service wrote in his biography of the Soviet ruler, “Stalin worked without rest in his Kremlin office. For 15 hours at a stretch from 3.20 am, he consulted with the members of the Supreme Command”. As the hours went by Service writes that Stalin “called generals to his office, made his enquiries about the situation to the west of Moscow, and gave his instructions. About his supremacy there was no doubt”.
Only from the early morning of 29 June 1941 did Stalin suffer a relapse, and retire to his nearby dacha in a deeply depressed condition. This was quite probably a delayed reaction brought on by his difficult visit, on 27 June, to the Soviet Ministry of Defence. When Generals Zhukov and Semyon Timoshenko showed Stalin, on operational maps, the astonishing advancements made by the German Army, Service wrote that Stalin “was shocked by the extent of the disaster for the Red Army”.
Image on the left: General Zhukov
By 27 June, units from the German Army Group Centre had already reached Minsk, the capital of Soviet Belorussia, and less than 450 miles west of Moscow. Shaken and disturbed by this Stalin reportedly lamented, “Lenin founded our state and we’ve fucked it up”.
After Hitler had ordered the attack against Russia on 22 June, the authorities in Britain and America forecast another brisk German victory. Their views were influenced by the apparent invincibility of the Wehrmacht, their dislike of Bolshevism, and also Stalin’s recent purge of the Red Army. Outside observers mistakenly believed the purge had decimated Soviet fighting capacity. Mawdsley in his extensive study of the Nazi-Soviet war wrote, “Many able middle-level commanders survived the purges” while the “commanders and commissars who were shot made up a minority”.
A major offensive in the modern era, perhaps in any age, constitutes a huge gamble on the part of the invader, brutal as these attacks usually are, and the Nazi invasion was the most vicious of all. Various factors can combine to result in its failure: strength of the invasion force, strategic errors, quality of the terrain, underestimation of the enemy, the weather, etc. These elements are magnified when attacking the world’s largest country (Russia), as Napoleon had discovered and soon Hitler too.
Nevertheless, there are a couple of overwhelming reasons why the German attack would fail. Firstly, Hitler did not place the German nation on a Total War footing, until February 1943, much too late. The Nazi economy in the early 1940’s produced an “extraordinary degree of inefficiency and wastefulness”, the English historian Richard Overy discerned. It resulted in labour shortages, fewer German weapons, aircraft and panzers, and less soldiers, while German women for the most part remained at home, rather than working in the armament factories.
After the defeat of France, a full mobilization of German manpower would have produced a Wehrmacht attacking force of about 6 million men in June 1941. This is double the size of the 3 million German soldiers which invaded Russia that month. Taking into account strategic mistakes committed and heroic Russian resistance, a German invasion with 6 million troops would surely have been too much for the Soviets to contend with, and it was possible to achieve.
Albert Speer, German Minister of Armaments and Munitions from 1942-1945, wrote on 29 March 1947,
“In the middle of 1941, Hitler could easily have had an army equipped twice as powerfully as it was… We could even have mobilised approximately 3 million more men of the younger age-groups before 1942, without losses in production… 3 million additional soldiers would have added up to many divisions. These, moreover, could have been excellently equipped as a result of the increased production”.
Another monumental error, on the part of the German high command and Hitler, was the strategic design for Operation Barbarossa. This consisted of splitting their forces into three large Army Groups, and ordering them to capture three different objectives simultaneously (Leningrad, Moscow and the Ukraine); rather than directing their resources towards easily the most important goal – Moscow, the communications stronghold and heartbeat of Soviet Russia, which will be discussed further here.
Lt. Col. Goodspeed, a skilled military strategist, wrote that,
“Although in operations and tactics the German Army had proved itself far and away superior to the Red Army, the same could not be said of German strategy. The fault was so simple and obvious that a child might have foreseen it. The German high command had attempted too many things at the same time”.
The German attack was launched across almost the entire breadth of the western USSR. Its Schwerpunkt, that is the heavy point of the German blow, fell north of the famous Pripet Marshes in Belorussia. However, the Germans and their Axis allies were ordered to attack everywhere at once. The strategic planning for Barbarossa went beyond even the Wehrmacht’s military capabilities; it was breathtaking in its boldness, irresponsible and grotesque.
Goodspeed summarised,
“But Hitler wanted too much and, as a consequence, got nothing. This same fundamental error was repeated again and again. It recurs like a leitmotif in the Führer’s strategic thought. When the advance against Moscow might have been successfully resumed in August, and previous mistakes rectified, Hitler turned his thrust south into the Ukraine and north against Leningrad. Again, two objectives and both of them the wrong ones. When Leningrad might have been taken in September, Hitler diverted forces back from Army Group North to Moscow, and thereby captured neither Leningrad nor Moscow”.
This viewpoint is supported by Mawdsley who pinpointed the “mistake that Hitler and his high command made in 1941” which was “to attack everywhere”. Hitler did not designate primary importance to Moscow, until it was weeks too late. The Russian capital held critical significance as the centre of Soviet communications, which was recognised by military leaders like Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, the commander of German Army Group Centre, which was supposed to capture Moscow. Virtually all roads and railways led to the capital, like spokes into the hub of a wheel.
This was not the case when Napoleon’s forces had occupied Moscow on 14 September 1812. Moscow at that time did not hold the same status, by comparison to its importance in the 20th century, when armies had become reliant on railways and motorised transport for supplies. The first railway line in Russia was built in 1837, a quarter of a century after Napoleon’s invasion.
Were Moscow to be captured in the autumn of 1941, the Russians would have had tremendous difficulty supplying and reinforcing their northern and southern fronts. This includes the Leningrad and Ukrainian sectors. The rail system of the western USSR would have been shattered, inflicting a hammer blow on the Soviet Army.
Goodspeed wrote that from Barbarossa’s outset,
“Quite conceivably, a single great thrust along the Warsaw-Smolensk-Moscow axis might have secured the Russian capital for the Germans by the end of August. Army Groups North and South could have acted as flank guards for such a thrust, and once the Russian centre had been demolished and the communications hub of Moscow taken, the Soviet northern and southern fronts would have been isolated from one another. Then a drive down the Volga in September might well have achieved a second victory, greater even than the Battle of Kiev. This done, Leningrad and the northern front could have been dealt with at leisure, and by another overwhelming concentration of force”.
One major thrust towards Moscow would, also, have taken the ferocious Russian weather out of the equation. The autumn rains and snow arrived in force from early October 1941, weeks after Moscow could have been taken. As events panned out, such weather seriously slowed the German advance.
The political ramifications of Moscow’s capitulation would have been considerable too. Stalin and his entourage were headquartered there. What would Stalin have done had Moscow fallen to the Germans in August or September 1941? He may have decided to stay and thereby seal his fate, or he could have chosen to relocate to Asiatic Russia, where it would have been arduous to hold together a government.
Most importantly of all, as Germany’s generals were aware, the bulk of the Red Army was centred in front of Moscow for the defense of the capital. If these Russian divisions were to be surrounded in a vast pincers movement and forced to surrender, the war would have been practically over.
Two months into the invasion, on 21 August 1941 Hitler fatefully intervened in the direction of the war, believing he would be proved right and the German generals wrong – as had been repeatedly the case on political matters. Hitler compounded Barbarossa’s early strategic mistakes by ordering on this date: “The most important objective to be taken before the coming of the winter is NOT the capture of Moscow, but the capture of the Crimea and of the industrial and coal-mining area of the Donets, and the cutting off of Russian oil supplies from the Caucasus; and to the north the investment of Leningrad and the linking up with the Finns”.
Hitler’s Chief of Operations, General Alfred Jodl, defended this decision by claiming that Hitler wished to avoid the blunders of Napoleon. As mentioned earlier, Moscow was of much greater importance in the year 1941 as opposed to 1812. Hitler was greedy and saw too many things at once, rather than focusing on a single goal at a time (similar strategic errors were committed in July 1942, when Hitler split up his forces to capture two objectives simultaneously, Stalingrad and the Caucasus).
Hitler’s wish, to strike everywhere, could have been influenced too because of his desire to spread as much death and destruction to the Soviet Union as possible, which he believed was the homeland of “Jewish Bolshevism”.
Upon hearing the new orders of 21 August 1941, two days later General Heinz Guderian travelled west to Hitler’s headquarters, situated in the dense forests near Rastenburg, East Prussia. Guderian, commanding the 2nd Panzer Group, informed Hitler that the taking of Moscow would paralyse the Soviet transportation and communication networks; the general stressed the political significance of Moscow’s demise, and the huge lift it would provide to German morale.
Moreover, Guderian insisted that the fall of the capital would make it easier to conquer other parts of the USSR, such as the Ukraine. Yet Hitler’s mind was firmly set and he told Guderian that his generals “know nothing of the economic aspects of war”. The orders were left unchanged.
Goodspeed observed,
“Thus, quietly, in a headquarters far from the sound of guns, Germany lost the war. The Führer directive of August 21, 1941, marked a great turning point in modern history. Many horrors were still to come, and mankind has by no means moved out from the darkness of these times, but at least the world was to be spared a Nazi victory”.
General Franz Halder, Chief of Staff of the German Army High Command, stated that Hitler’s above directive was “decisive to the outcome of this campaign”.
Operation Barbarossa, an Overview
The USSR’s hierarchy was caught unprepared, and unnecessarily so, when Nazi Germany invaded their country eight decades ago on 22 June 1941, in a military offensive titled Operation Barbarossa. It was named after King Frederick Barbarossa, a red-bearded Prussian emperor who in the 12th century had waged war against the Slavs.
On the sixth day of the attack, 27 June 1941, German Army Group Center had already reached Minsk, the capital of Soviet Belarus. Amazingly it meant, at this very early stage, that the Germans were closer to Moscow than Berlin: as the crow flies, the Wehrmacht was now 430 miles from the Russian capital as opposed to 590 miles from the German capital.
After a week of fighting, the Soviets had lost around 600,000 troops and thousands of their aircraft had been destroyed, the majority of them on the ground. When on 27 June the Soviet commanders, Georgy Zhukov and Semyon Timoshenko, showed Joseph Stalin on operational maps that the Germans had advanced on Minsk, he was visibly shocked by the magnitude of the disaster. Should Stalin have been so surprised, considering the unprecedented rapidity the year before at which the Germans had blazed through France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg?
In the middle of 1941, Stalin had been in charge of the Soviet Union for over a decade whereas, in Germany, Adolf Hitler was in control for little more than 8 years. By the early 1940s, the Wehrmacht was Europe’s most efficient military organization and killing machine. This was in some contrast to the larger Red Army, whose poor display against Finland’s paltry armed forces, from 30 November 1939 to 13 March 1940 (the Winter War), provided stark evidence of the harm imparted on the Soviet military by Stalin’s purges, which had begun in May 1937.
British historian Evan Mawdsley wrote that “the purges certainly played a most important part in what happened on and after 22 June 1941”. Marshal Zhukov, one of the most celebrated commanders in Russian history, was heavily critical of the purges after the war, which will be elaborated upon further here.
It can be mentioned firstly, however, that the extent of the Soviet military purges has tended to be exaggerated and distorted down the years. There were 142,000 Soviet Army commanders and commissars in 1937, just before the purges started. Mawdsley noted, “It is sometimes suggested that half the leadership of the Red Army was wiped out, which was certainly not the case” as “the Red Army commanders and commissars who were shot made up a minority” of the entire Russian military leadership corps.
The damage inflicted on the top ranks was still extensive. Three out of five marshals and 20 Soviet army commanders, along with dozens of corps and divisional commanders among others, were liquidated between 1937 and 1941. The loss of high-level officers inevitably undermined and weakened the Red Army’s command apparatus, and it came at a time when the clouds of war were ominously gathering in Europe.
Marshal Zhukov wrote in his memoirs of “unfounded arrests in the armed forces” which were “in contravention of socialist legality. Prominent military leaders were arrested which, naturally, affected the development of our armed forces and their combat preparedness”.
Altogether, more than 34,000 Soviet officers were dismissed from the military as the purges ran their course, but a third of these (11,500) were eventually reinstated; perhaps most notably Konstantin Rokossovsky, who became one of the most important Soviet commanders of World War II. English author Geoffrey Roberts, writing in his biography of Zhukov, realized that “the vast majority of the armed forces” had “survived the purges”, which is necessary to stress.
Yet in the weeks before and after the German invasion, when the initiative to make crucial and independent decisions was needed, much paralysis reigned in the Soviet high command; which had been disproportionately affected by the purges.
Mawdsley, who specializes in Russian affairs, wrote of the Red Army leaders that were victimized, “These men possessed the fullest professional, educational and operational experience the Red Army had accumulated… Despite professional and personal rivalries among themselves, these leaders had formed a fairly cohesive command structure. The paradox is that this is why Stalin mistrusted them”.
An eminent Soviet diplomat, Andrei Gromyko, who was the USSR’s Foreign Affairs Minister from 1957 to 1985, was first introduced to Stalin in 1939 and saw him many times thereafter. Gromyko became acquainted too with Soviet Army dignitaries like Zhukov. In Gromyko’s book ‘Memories: From Stalin to Gorbachev’, he wrote that Zhukov “spoke bitterly of the enormous damage Stalin had inflicted on the country by his massacre of the top echelons of the army command”.
Gromyko recalled Zhukov saying of the Soviet military men that were purged, “Of course, I regard them as innocent victims. Tukhachevsky was an especially damaging loss for the army and the state”. Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky, known overseas as “the Red Napoleon”, was a central figure in the Russian Army’s modernization during the 1920s and 1930s. Zhukov first met Tukhachevsky in 1921 and he later described him as, “A clever, knowledgeable professional, he was splendidly conversant with both tactical and strategic problems… Tukhachevsky was an ace of military thinking, a star of the first magnitude among the great soldiers of the Red Army”.
Zhukov stated that he himself came under suspicion as the purges were unfolding, due to his connections to some of the accused. He vigorously defended his position and avoided censure. Moreover, Zhukov informed Gromyko, “Before the war, the political decision to arm fully was taken very late, and that was the main problem”.
While Zhukov’s criticism on the latter point is also valid, Stalin had engineered a massive increase in the Soviet arms budget from the early 1930s onward, and for this he should be commended. Part of Bolshevik ideology is a belief in the virtue of motorized machines and warfare, without which the Red Army could not have defeated the Wehrmacht and its panzer divisions. Five months before the German attack Stalin told his senior commanders, “the winning side will be the one with the greater number and the more powerful engines”.
Between 1932 and 1937, spending on the Soviet military increased by 340% in overall terms, undoubtedly as a result of Stalin’s direct influence. Through 1937 to 1940 expenditure doubled again on the Soviet defense budget. From 1939, the USSR was constructing over 10,000 warplanes per year, along with almost 3,000 tanks, more than 17,000 artillery pieces and 114,000 machine guns. Payment and conditions for Soviet officers had meanwhile improved greatly, so it was far from being all doom and gloom.
The above figures on Soviet armed capacity were unknown to the Germans; that is, until after they had attacked the USSR, when it soon became obvious the Red Army was much more formidable than Nazi intelligence had estimated. As Mawdsley revealed, German agencies calculated that the Russians had 10,000 tanks in June 1941, whereas in reality they possessed 23,100 tanks. The Germans thought there were 6,000 Soviet aircraft in mid-1941, but in the whole of the USSR there were 20,000 planes, with 9,100 of these positioned near the Nazi-Soviet border.
Under Stalin’s leadership the Russians achieved a remarkable relocation of industry eastwards, in the months following the German assault. This policy was critical to ensuring the Soviet Union could continue producing weaponry en masse, and largely secure from the Nazi onslaught.
Irish professor and geographer John Sweeney wrote, “Over 1,500 industrial enterprises were transplanted, between July and November 1941 alone, to what were considered relatively safe refuges in the interior. The Urals (which received 667 of these enterprises), Kazakhstan and Central Asia (308), West Siberia (244), the Volga Region (226) and East Siberia (78), benefited permanently from this massive injection of industrial investment, and it was in this heartland area that urban growth during the post-war recovery period was concentrated”.
Relating to manpower, the Red Army was likewise significantly bigger than Hitler and his generals believed. In June 1941 Soviet forces consisted of more than 300 divisions, amounting to 5.5 million personnel, 2.7 million of which were stationed in the western USSR. The Germans thought there were only 200 Russian divisions in existence, despite the fact the Soviet population was appreciably greater than Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe combined. In comparison the German invasion force comprised of 3 million men, supported by less than a million troops from its Axis allies such as Romania and Finland, led by the anti-Bolshevik military leaders Ion Antonescu and Gustaf Mannerheim respectively.
Seven weeks into the German invasion, General Franz Halder acknowledged in his diary, “The whole situation makes it increasingly plain that we have underestimated the Russian colossus”. Not long after, even Hitler admitted in a speech in central Berlin, “We had no idea how gigantic the preparations of this enemy were”.
Zhukov and Timoshenko were acutely aware of the massing of German, Finnish and Romanian divisions adjacent to the USSR’s boundaries. The Soviet Army’s foreign intelligence agency (the GRU) confirmed on 15 June 1941, just a week before Operation Barbarossa commenced, that a huge transfer had taken place of German forces to the Nazi-Soviet frontier; with 120 to 122 Wehrmacht divisions reportedly deployed there.
Zhukov told Stalin repeatedly, and as late as mid-June 1941, to be prepared in the case of a German attack. Stalin in turn insisted a few days before Wehrmacht-led armies invaded, “Germany has a Treaty of Non-Aggression with us. Germany is involved up to its ears in the war in the West, and I believe that Hitler will not risk creating a second front for himself by attacking the Soviet Union”.
From November 1940 to June 1941, Stalin personally received a total of 80 intelligence reports warning about a German invasion, according to English historian Andrew Roberts. In mitigation to Stalin, a fair proportion of the intelligence accounts proved inaccurate regarding the invasion start date; others constituted misinformation planted by the Germans; but most reports were genuine and some uncannily close to the mark, like the material sent to the Kremlin by Richard Sorge, a now famous Soviet spy then operating in the German embassy in Tokyo.
Stalin was further warned about Nazi intentions by Soviet agents like the courageous Leopold Trepper in Paris, and also Victor Sukolov in Belgium. The most plausible and detailed reports of all indeed came from Soviet sources, and they peaked in intensity during the first three weeks of June 1941 – along with alarming information forthcoming that Hitler’s allies Finland and Romania were mobilizing for war against Russia. This could not be ignored.
Robert Service, in his lengthy book on Stalin, wrote that, “For weeks the Wehrmacht had been massing on the western banks of the River Bug, as dozens of divisions were transferred from elsewhere in Europe. The Luftwaffe had sent squadrons of reconnaissance aircraft over Soviet cities. All this had been reported to Stalin by his military intelligence agency. In May and June [1941], he had been continually pressed by Timoshenko and Zhukov to sanction the dispositions for an outbreak of fighting. Richard Sorge, the Soviet agent in the German embassy in Tokyo, had raised the alarm. Winston Churchill had sent telegrams warning Stalin. The USSR’s spies in Germany had mentioned the preparations being made. Even the Chinese Communist Party alerted Moscow about German intentions”.
By the second half of June 1941, Stalin was counting on it being too late in the year for the Germans to attack. Regardless, the French commander Napoleon, generations before fast-moving motorized vehicles emerged, had launched his invasion of Russia on 24 June 1812, two days later in June than the Germans.
In addition the spring rains arrived late in the western USSR in 1941, and they were much heavier than normal. Many of the river valleys, including the strategically important River Bug in eastern Poland, were still flooded at the late date of 1 June 1941. This meant that an attack on the Soviet Union could not have proceeded until after then.
Hitler’s Early Victories, the Wolf’s Lair Headquarters
In Hitler’s goals to attain Germanic dominion of the planet, he enjoyed some of his most triumphant days secured away at the vast, virtually unheard of Wolf’s Lair. The complex was known in the German tongue as Wolfsschanze. Hitler had inserted “Wolf” into the title of many of his military headquarters, as it was a self-appointed nickname.
Situated over 400 miles from Berlin in East Prussia, Hitler arrived at the Wolf’s Lair for the first occasion during late evening of 23 June 1941. The advanced time was not an issue. From the days of Hitler’s “struggle” beginning in the early 1920s, he had developed a habit of remaining active until the small hours, often present in rowdy beer halls, and rising as late as noon.
On the night of 23 June 1941, the dictator was again in no mood for bed rest; his form was in fact jubilant as remarkable news filtered through from the Eastern Front. Less than 48 hours after the invasion began, German armies were smashing through the first bewildered Soviet lines, and had already reached the USSR republics of Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine.
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, Hitler’s most trusted military companion, also traveled eastwards to join his leader at the new Wolf’s Lair. As Operation Barbarossa rolled mercilessly along, Keitel’s disposition remained pensive and austere. It was the 58-year-old Keitel, almost standing alone in isolation, who had warned Hitler not to attack the Soviet Union.
Conservative and cautious by nature, Keitel detected the unmistakable sense of danger in the air. He was convinced that assaulting a landmass as great as the USSR – with its numerous complications – would be a task too much, even for the apparently unstoppable Wehrmacht. Due to Keitel’s reputation as a willing pawn of Hitler, he was held in poor esteem by an array of German generals and field marshals.
Yet Keitel’s military career had dated to the year 1901, and he possessed a distinguished record, claiming honours for bravery during the First World War while rising through the ranks. Keitel’s demeanour was that of a charming and approachable officer, educated in the old-fashioned virtues of the Prussian military establishment. Keitel possessed strong organizational and literary skills, but lacked the insubordinate, resolute nature to challenge Hitler directly.
Keitel had said later,
“It isn’t right to be obedient only when things go well; it is much harder to be a good, obedient soldier when things go badly and times are hard. Obedience and faith at such time is a virtue”.
His subservience would inevitably lead to a complicity in some of the Nazis’ atrocious crimes.
Unlike Keitel, the great majority of German military leaders firmly supported Hitler’s decision to attack Russia, believing the conflict would last around two months with Stalin’s expected ousting and death. The Nazi war chiefs’ unrealistic confidence swayed Hitler, who believed the Red Army would fold like a pack of cards. By mid-1941 Hitler had still to assume personal command of men in the field, and he unavoidably lacked the required knowledge and expertise.
Meanwhile, on the same evening that Hitler first entered the Wolf’s Lair (23 June 1941), one of the largest tank engagements in military history was starting. It was called the Battle of Brody: A near forgotten clash in north-western Ukraine between 750 panzers and 3,500 Soviet tanks, stretching across the cities of Brody, Dubno and Lutsk. About 350 miles northwards Hitler was in tune to proceedings from the Wolf’s Lair, and awaiting further stunning reports. They would come.
Despite the Nazis being outnumbered by more than four to one during the Battle of Brody, their panzers bludgeoned a way to victory by 30 June 1941. The Germans destroyed many hundreds of Soviet tanks, while meting out 65,000 casualties upon the Red Army. For mile after mile, this section of north-western Ukraine was strewn with dead bodies and horses, shattered Soviet armoured vehicles along with battered heavy weaponry.
The triumph around Brody consolidated vital German gains on the Ukraine’s western boundaries. It was also an indication of the ferocity of Hitler’s troops, as they unleashed what would be the bloodiest invasion of all time.
Also on the night Hitler became acquainted with the Wolf’s Lair, the Battle of Raseiniai was under way in western Lithuania; it was another critical early meeting between around 240 panzers and 750 Soviet tanks. Outmatched by three to one, the Germans were again victorious in the face of seemingly daunting odds. By 27 June 1941, they had destroyed over 700 of the Soviets’ 750 tanks near Raseiniai, a medieval Lithuanian town. The Luftwaffe also provided telling air support when it was needed.
Further south Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, had easily been captured on 24 June 1941 and Kaunas, the country’s second largest city, capitulated that day too. Germany’s Army Group North, under Field Marshal Ritter von Leeb, was now positioned 600 miles from Moscow; yet his key objective was to seize the major Russian city of Leningrad closer to the north.
As a Blitzkrieg easily overcame Red Army resistance in Lithuania, an onlooking Hitler had been situated a mere 90 miles from the Lithuanian border at his Wolf’s Lair. In Hitler’s choice of headquarters across Europe, it was his desire to be as near the fighting as conceivably possible. Previously, as the Battle of France commenced (10 May–25 June 1940), Hitler’s compound, the Wolf’s Ravine (Wolfsschlucht), was erected in the Belgian village of Brûly-de-Pesche.
While the Nazi leader oversaw France’s swift and humiliating defeat, he became a resident for over two weeks at this Belgian hamlet. Brûly-de-Pesche is only five miles from the French northern frontier, and Paris was within comfortable driving distance.
Choice of location for the Wolf’s Lair was painstakingly assessed; in late 1940, construction began in the ancient and mysterious Masurian woods, near a small Prussian town called Rastenburg. The Wolf’s Lair was clear of urban centres and primary roads, while its entire complex covered 2.5 square miles. It was safeguarded by three security zones, and disguised by extensive netting that cleverly mimicked leaf cover when viewed from above.
Otto Skorzeny, the SS commando, wrote that
“I was ordered to the Wolfsschanze [Wolf’s Lair] nine times and also flew over it; it was so very well camouflaged from air attack that one could only see trees. The guarded access roads snaked through the forest, in such a way that I would have been unable to give the exact location of the Führer headquarters”.
Regardless of Hitler’s growing fears and precautions, not one bomb was dropped on the Wolf’s Lair, while his private secretary Traudl Junge later revealed “there was never more than a single aircraft hovering over the forest”. This is despite the fact that Hitler spent over 800 days immersed there.
As Germany’s victories mounted, the prevailing mood at the Wolf’s Lair became increasingly euphoric. At the end of June 1941, German forces had claimed a significant success when capturing Minsk, the sprawling capital of Belarus. By 11 July 1941, the Wehrmacht had conquered vast regions of Belarus, a state rivalling the size of Great Britain.
In doing so, the Nazis inflicted almost 420,000 casualties on Soviet divisions around the Belarusian capital, while the invaders lost only 12,000 men by comparison.
During fighting near Minsk, the Red Army further saw 4,800 of its tanks eliminated and up to 1,700 aircraft destroyed, while the Germans were shorn of just 100 panzers and 275 airplanes. The scale of victory is put into even sharper perspective when considering the Wehrmacht had a combined total of about 3,500 panzers, and little more than 2,000 warplanes.
While July 1941 proceeded, German infantrymen were pouring forward onto the very borders of Russia, taking the town of Ostrov on 4 July, in north-west Russia – followed, on 8 July, by their capturing Pskov 30 miles further north.
From the small city of Pskov, Moscow lay but 450 miles further east. As the world looked on in wonder, including the Americans and British, it seemed an eventuality the Nazis would cover these last few hundred miles, and overwhelm the Russian capital.
By 10 July 1941, the 13th Panzer Division (of Army Group South) had advanced to the Irpin River, just over 10 miles from Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine – a country with a rich agricultural base that would help sustain Germany’s foot soldiers. Yet it would not be for another nine weeks until Kiev itself fell, with the surrendering of almost 700,000 Soviet troops.
In the meantime, due to the incredible progression and devastation wrought, it was perhaps not surprising that on 8 July 1941 a boastful Hitler was telling propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, “The war in the east was in the main already won”. Hitler was simply echoing the views of his commanders.
As early as 3 July 1941 the 57-year-old Franz Halder, Chief of the Army General Staff, had written in his diary,
“So it’s really not saying too much, if I claim that the campaign against Russia has been won in 14 days”.
The experienced Halder was surely letting himself get carried away. In the autumn of 1942 Halder would be sacked by Hitler, due to their ongoing disagreements over Russian fighting capacity, with the dictator saying to him,
“We now need National Socialist ardour rather than professional ability to settle matters in the East. Obviously, I cannot expect this of you”.
Hitler replaced Halder with General Kurt Zeitzler, who was thought to be a genius in his ability to manoeuvre large formations across battlefields, and perceive danger. It was expected that Zeitzler would finally move German armies to where Hitler wanted them to go.
JAPAN TAKES FDR’s BAIT / ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR BRINGS THE U.S. INTO THE WAR
While issuing the final provocations of Japan, FDR and his Military Chairman, George Marshall, also set the actual bait for the Japanese fish to bite. The tasty bait that these two traitors are dangling is the heart of America’s Pacific fleet, deliberately left vulnerable at the naval base of Pearl Harbor, in the U.S. territory of Hawaii. By now, Japan knows that war with America is coming. The Japanese high command, in the hopes of gaining an early advantage, decides to strike as damaging a blow to the U.S. Navy as possible. Because the U.S. and Britain have each cracked Japan’s naval communication codes, FDR and Churchill both have advance knowledge of the impending “surprise attack”; but no specific warning is sent to the Commanders at Pearl Harbor. The attack kills 2402 US sailors, and ignites press frenzy and a wave of patriotic fervor. The “isolationists” are silenced for good and the America First Committee disbands. FDR and the Jewish Mafia around him will finally have their 2nd world war.
DECEMBER 8-11, 1941 WAR DECLARATIONS EXCHANGED
The day after Pearl Harbor, Congress declares war on Japan. Even the “isolationists” cannot resist the war fever caused by what FDR calls “an unprovoked attack”. Japan also issues a declaration. Germany and Italy then fulfill their Tripartite Treaty obligation to Japan, by announcing that a state of war now exists between the Axis nations and the U.S. (though they have neither the intention nor the means to actually cross the Atlantic and attack the U.S. mainland). Congress then follows with additional declarations upon Germany and Italy. Again, from the diary of FDR’s War (Defense) Secretary, Henry Stimson, we learn that Stimson’s immediate and “dominant feeling” was not one of sorrow or outrage over the lost lives at Pearl Harbor, but rather of relief:
EXCERPTS OF EMPEROR HIROHITO’S WAR DECLARATION
“….We hereby declare war upon the United States of America and the British Empire. To ensure the stability of East Asia, and to contribute to world peace, is the farsighted policy which was formulated by our great illustrious Imperial Grandsire and Great Imperial Sire … To cultivate friendship among nations and to enjoy prosperity in common with all nations has always been the guiding principle of our Empire’s foreign policy”. It has truly been unavoidable and far from our wishes that our Empire has been brought to cross swords with America and Britain. More than four years have passed since China, failing to comprehend the true intentions of our Empire, and recklessly courting trouble, disturbed the peace of East Asia and compelled our Empire to take up arms. Although there has been reestablished the National Government of China, with which Japan had effected neighborly intercourse and cooperation, the regime which has survived in Chungking, relying upon American and British protection, still continues its fratricidal opposition. Eager for the realization of their ambition to dominate the Orient, both America and Britain, giving support to the Chungking regime, have aggravated the disturbances in East Asia. Moreover these two powers, inducing other countries to follow suit, increased military preparations on all sides of our Empire to challenge us. They have obstructed by every means our peaceful commerce and finally resorted to a direct severance of economic relations, menacing greatly the existence of our Empire. Patiently have we waited and long have we endured, in the hope that our Government might retrieve the situation in peace. But our adversaries, showing not the least spirit of conciliation, have unduly delayed a settlement; and in the meantime they have intensified the economic and political pressure to compel our Empire to submission. This trend of affairs would, if left unchecked, not only nullify our Empire’s efforts of many years for the sake of the stabilization of East Asia, but also endanger the very existence of our nation. The situation being as it is, our Empire, for its existence and self-defense has no other recourse but to appeal to arms, and to crush all obstacles in its path.
December 8, 1941
EXCERPTS FROM HITLER’S POST-PEARL HARBOR SPEECH
“Starting in November 1938, he (Roosevelt) began systematically and consciously to sabotage every possibility of a European peace policy. In public he hypocritically claimed to be interested in peace while at the same time he threatened every country that was ready to pursue a policy of peaceful understanding by blocking credits, economic reprisals, calling in loans, and so forth. In this regard, the reports of the Polish ambassadors in Washington, London, Paris and Brussels provide a shocking insight. This man increased his campaign of incitement in January 1939. In a message to the U.S. Congress he threatened to take every measure short of war against the authoritarian countries.”
I will overlook as meaningless the insulting attacks and rude statements by this so- called President against me personally. That he calls me a gangster is particularly meaningless, since this term did not originate in Europe, where such characters are uncommon, but in America. And aside from that, I simply cannot feel insulted by Mr. Roosevelt because I regard him, like his predecessor Woodrow Wilson, as mentally unsound. We know that this man, with his Jewish supporters, has operated against Japan in the same way. I don’t need to go into that here. The same methods were used in that case as well. This man first incites to war, and then he lies about its causes and makes baseless allegations. He repugnantly wraps himself in a cloak of Christian hypocrisy, while at the same time slowly but very steadily leading humanity into war. And finally, as an old Freemason, he calls upon God to witness that his actions are honorable. His shameless misrepresentations of truth and violations of law are unparalleled in history. I am sure that all of you have regarded it as an act of deliverance that a country [Japan] has finally acted to protest against all this in the very way that this man had actually hoped for, and which should not surprise him now [the attack on Pearl Harbor]. After years of negotiating with this deceiver, the Japanese government finally had its fill of being treated in such a humiliating way. All of us, the German people and, I believe, all other decent people around the world as well, regard this with deep appreciation. We know the power behind Roosevelt. It is the same eternal Jew that believes that his hour has come to impose the same fate on us that we have all seen and experienced with horror in Soviet Russia. We have gotten to know firsthand the Jewish paradise on earth. Millions of German soldiers have personally seen the land where this international Jewry has destroyed and annihilated people and property. Perhaps the President of the United States does not understand this. If so, that only speaks for his intellectual narrow-mindedness. And we know that his entire effort is aimed at this goal: Even if we were not allied with Japan, we would still realize that the Jews and their Franklin Roosevelt intend to destroy one state after another. The German Reich of today has nothing in common with the Germany of the past. For our part, we will now do what this provocateur has been trying to achieve for years. And not just because we are allied with Japan, but rather because Germany and Italy with their present leaderships have the insight and strength to realize that in this historic period the existence or non-existence of nations is being determined, perhaps for all time. What this other world has in store for us is clear. They were able to bring the democratic Germany of the past to starvation, and they seek to destroy the National Socialist Germany of today. When Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt declare that they want to one day build a new social order, that’s about the same as a bald-headed barber recommending a tonic guaranteed to make hair grow. Rather than incite war, these gentlemen, who live in the most socially backward countries, should have concerned themselves with their own unemployed people. They have enough misery and poverty in their own countries to keep themselves busy insuring a just distribution of food there. As far as the German nation is concerned, it doesn’t need charity, either from Mr. Churchill or Mr. Roosevelt — but it does demand its rights. And it will do what it must to insure its right to life, even if a thousand Churchill and Roosevelt conspire together to prevent it.”

SUPER SECRET MANHATTAN PROJECT INFESTED WITH COMMUNIST SPIES
The Manhattan Project is an effort, led by the U.S. with participation from Britain,
which will result in the first atomic bomb. The project grew out of the Einstein- Szilard letter to FDR in 1939. The effort had started out on a small scale later that
year, and by war’s end will eventually employ 130,000 people at 30 locations. Three ‘secret cities” will house 100,000 workers, all of them sworn to secrecy, and most of whom are ignorant of “the big picture”. From the start, there are concerns about the Project’s security. Physicist Gregory Breit, an important researcher, quits in 1942 because of concerns over lax security procedures. The Jewish Communist Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer takes over Breit’s research, and is then appointed to head the secret weapons lab at Los
Alamos, New Mexico. Under his leadership, Soviet spies and Communist sympathizers infest the Project (Enrico Fermi, Klaus Fuchs etc). As Oppenheimer “looks the other way”, Red spies pass America’s secrets into Stalin’s hands. In 1954, Oppenheimer’s security clearance will be revoked. But by that time, The Soviets have already stolen much of the “formula” for the A-bomb.

FDR ORDERS LOYAL AMERICANS OF JAPANESE DESCENT TO BE PLACED IN INTERNMENT CAMPS
FDR’s Executive Order 9066 condemns 110,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry to serve the rest of the war years in prison camps. Of those interned, 62% are actual American citizens. Shortly thereafter, Executive Order 9095 freezes their assets. German-American and Italian-American families are also interned in camps, though in lesser numbers. Unlike Germany’s wartime internment of Jews (who were generally hostile towards Germany), terrorist Partisans, thieving gypsies, and other assorted Reds; FDR’s internments are of law abiding, peaceful, and patriotic citizens loyal to America. The internments are as unjustified as they are unnecessary.
1942 – 1945
“ROSIE THE RIVETER” IS WORKED AND RATIONED LIKE A DOG TO SUPPORT THE WAR EFFORT
The commonly-held economic fallacies that war is good for the economy and that World War II pulled America out of the Great Depression are based on ignorance; nothing more. War is waste; plain and simple. The increased productivity (Gross Domestic Product) and decreased unemployment associated with a wartime slave economy benefit only the industry bosses who own the factories and the bankers financing the new spending. The goods that are churned out do not benefit the working public because they have to be shipped to the soldiers overseas; in many cases to be destroyed. World War II was a time of great sacrifice for both the American men who were compelled to fight, bleed and die, as well as for “Rosie the Riveter” on the home front. As consumers, the women who were herded into buzzing factories faced shortages of everything from metals to quality food and clothes. The U.S., British, and Soviet armies sucked up the manufactured “goods” while Americans struggled. Car bumpers were actually made of wood during these years! Propaganda posters everywhere told Americans it was their patriotic duty to work like animals and to go without. The suckers of “the greatest generation” believed it and never complained.
1942 – 1945
AMERICA’S RIDICULOUS WAR PROPAGANDA
JUNE 4-7, 1942
U.S. VICTORIOUS OVER JAPAN IN THE ‘BATTLE OF MIDWAY’ The Battle of Midway is the most important naval battle of the Pacific Ocean campaign. The U.S. Navy, under the command of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, decisively defeats the Japanese, inflicting irreparable damage upon the Japanese fleet. After Midway, Japan’s Pacific defense perimeter of islands steadily shrinks as Japan cannot replace its lost ships and aircraft as fast as the U.S. can. Though Midway marks a turning point, the U.S. will sustain much more casualties as the Japanese tenaciously defend their Pacific perimeter for many months to come.
JULY, 1942 – FEBRUARY, 1943 THE BLOODY BATTLE OF STALINGRAD
The Battle of Stalingrad between the Germans and the Soviets was fought for control of the strategically vital Russian city that Stalin named after himself (today known as Volgograd). It will go down in history as the bloodiest battle ever, with combined deaths of nearly 2 million. Stalin’s refusal to pull the Red Army out of the city leads to a long siege and great suffering for the hungry residents. After the German offensive manages to capture most of the city, the U.S. Lend Lease-equipped Red Army wears the Germans down with bloody house-to-house fighting. Brainwashed and inflamed by the NKVD’s false atrocity propaganda, much of the city’s civilian population fiercely resists the Germans as well. As intended, this “false flag” terror enflames the civilian population against the Germans. The losses suffered by the Germans will make victory in Russia impossible.
NOVEMBER, 1942
OPERATION TORCH / ALLIES BATTLE THE GERMANS IN NORTH AFRICA
A full year after U.S. entry into the war, the Germans are finally confronted during Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco). It is facilitated by French Generals who switched loyalty from the nationalist Marshal Petain’s Vichy France to the Globalist/Communist side of General Charles de Gaulle (self-exiled in England). The politically appointed and grossly unqualified General Dwight D. Eisenhower (“Ike”) is given command of the Allied force which sails from England. But it is the military genius of General George Patton that ultimately bails out the incompetent and envious Eisenhower. Patton’s Army successfully overcomes the German forces, led by General Erwin Rommel (The Desert Fox). By May of 1943, the Germans will have evacuated Northern Africa as they prepare to defend the “soft underbelly of Europe” in southern Italy.
JANUARY, 1943
CASABLANCA CONFERENCE / ALLIES: WAR WILL CONTINUE UNTIL UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!
FDR, Churchill, and the exiled “‘Free French” Generals Henri Giraud and Charles de Gaulle meet together at the Casablanca Conference (Morocco/North Africa). FDR announces a policy of “unconditional surrender” for Germany, Italy, and Japan. Churchill agrees to the policy. Unconditional surrender means the Allies expect the Axis nations to not only stop fighting, but to also hand over complete political, educational, military and media control to the invading Allied armies. This brutal hard-line policy of complete subjugation inspires the Japanese and Germans to fight harder and longer.
JANUARY – MAY, 1943
THE TIDE TURNS AGAINST GERMANY
The opening months of 1943 mark the turning point in the war. The combination of America’s awesome naval, air, and land power, a 3-front war, Jewish and Red Partisan guerilla war, merciless air bombardment of German civilians, and a massive Red Army armed to the teeth by American manufacturing power, all combine to take a heavy toll on Germany. General Friedrich Paulus requests that Hitler allow the 6th Army at Stalingrad to surrender. Hitler, knowing what the stakes were for Germany and Europe, and knowing that Stalin would kill any prisoners, orders Paulus to hold firm. In February, the cowardly general finally surrenders his army to the tender mercy of the Stalin-Kaganovich death cult. About 35,000 of the men under Paulus’s command had already been evacuated from the front. The remaining 91,000 are marched off to Soviet slave camps. Only 6,000 of them ever returned home. Paulus eventually sells out to the Soviets altogether, joining the ‘National Committee for Free Germany’ and urging German troops to defy orders and surrender. After testifying at the post-war Nuremberg show-trials for the Soviets, he was released and spent the rest of his life as a mouthpiece for Communist East Germany. In May, the campaign in North Africa ends as German troops evacuate. That same month, Admiral Donitz removes all German U-boats from the Atlantic after 41 subs are sunk in just 3 weeks! Germany is now limited to playing defense as the Allies slowly tighten the Globalist noose around Hitler’s Reich.
JULY, 1943
‘OPERATION GOMORRAH’ / THE FIREBOMBING OF HAMBURG BURNS OR SUFFOCATES 42,000 GERMAN CIVILIANS! The Firebombing of Hamburg creates a tornado of fire so intense; it actually lifts people off of the streets and into the fire. Those who are not burned to death suffocate in shelters as the fire above sucks up all the oxygen. Hundreds of US and UK aircraft feed the inferno with wave after wave of incendiary bombings. As a sick joke, the demonic planners of the genocide of Hamburg actually code named the arson attack “Operation Gomorrah”, after the Hebrew Bible story of the cities which God destroyed by fire and brimstone.(Sodom & Gomorrah) Operation Gomorrah deploys 3,000 aircraft and 9,000 tons of bombs. It kills 42,000 people, with an equal number injured. Indeed, more Germans died on that fateful night in Hamburg than the total number of British civilians killed during five years of war! One million traumatized German refugees flee the city in which 250,000 homes were destroyed.
1943
CHURCHILL’S BENGAL FAMINE KILLS 2,000,000 INDIANS While famines were not uncommon in India, largely because of droughts or monsoons, the 1943 tragedy in Bengal has the unmistakable fingerprints of the mad dog Churchill on it. In the prior year, when Japan occupied Burma, an important rice exporter, the British bought up massive amounts of rice and hoarded it. Churchill then orders the diversion of food away from India and toward British troops around the world. Now a rare commodity, the price of rice shoots up four-fold. Wheat from Australia (which could have been delivered to starving Indians) is instead transported to British troops as well. Even worse, British colonial authorities (again under Churchill’s leadership) actually turn down offers of food from the U.S. Churchill hates Indians almost as much as he hates Germans; mainly because India wants its independence from Britain. Later, at a War Cabinet meeting, Churchill blames the Indians themselves for the famine, saying that they “breed like rabbits.”
SUMMER, 1943
ALLIES INVADE SICILY FROM NORTH AFRICA / ITALIAN GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES / 60,000 ITALIAN CIVILIANS KILLED The Allied invasion of the southern Italian island of Sicily is another huge success for Generals Patton and Montgomery (UK). German and Italian resistance is overwhelmed. Within four weeks of the initial air and sea assault, Axis troops evacuate to the Italian mainland.
Italian Leader Benito Mussolini is removed from power by his own Grand Council. The new government arrests him, makes peace with the Allies, and switched sides. This leaves Germany with the sole task of halting Patton’s push up the Italian peninsula. (In September, Mussolini is rescued by German commandos and reinstalled to rule over Northern Italy). With Italy coming quickly under Allied control, Hitler worries that the Allies will now invade Yugoslavia and the Balkan nations, cut off Germany’s oil supply, and march north upon Germany from the “soft underbelly of Europe”. In August of 1943, the British Royal Air Force, departing from bases in southern Italy, begins heavy bombing of the Ploesti oil fields of German allied Romania. The German-occupied parts of Italy are also heavily bombed by the Allies, resulting in the deaths of 60,000 Italian civilians.
1943-45
SPECIAL GERMAN UNITS PROTECT THE PRICELESS ARTWORKS OF EUROPE
Under Kaiser Wilhelm II during World War I, the highly cultured Germans had gone to great lengths to protect and preserve artworks located in combat zones. The German word to describe this principal of saving Europe’s cultural and artistic treasures during wartime is “Kunstschutz” (art protection). A talented painter himself, Adolf Hitler has a great appreciation for art and culture. He sees Churchill and FDR as uncultured barbarians with merciless disregard for innocent life, architecture, and works of art. As the Germans had done during World War I, Hitler too orders the protection of artworks throughout the combat theaters of
Europe. The task of protecting the art is handed over to Air Force Marshal Hermann Goering. As Allied terror bombing ravages Europe, thousands of paintings and sculptures from Italy, France, Belgium, Russia, Romania, and Poland are gathered and meticulously inventoried by the Germans. After the war, the American Art Looting Investigation Unit (ALIU) of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) issues 13 reports on the German “looting” of artworks. By the way, this is the same OSS (forerunner of the CIA) that also accused the Germans of using dead Jews to make “shrunken heads”, “lamp shades” and “bars of soap” – allegations which are today universally acknowledged as false.
1943
GENERALS EISENHOWER & MARSHALL POSTPONE THE U.S. ADVANCE / WAR IS PROLONGED TO HELP STALIN
With “the soft underbelly of Europe” now vulnerable, Churchill and British General Montgomery argue for an immediate Allied advance upon Germany from the south of Europe. This was Hitler’s greatest concern. The oil fields of Romania fuel the German military. An Allied advance on the Balkans through Yugoslavia and Greece would be disastrous for Germany. From Italy and the Balkans, the Allies can then launch a final push upon Germany itself from the south and southeast.
Inexplicably, Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower.(‘Ike’) and Army Chief of Staff George Marshall (who had promoted Eisenhower over scores of senior officers) insist upon making preparations for an invasion of heavily fortified Northern France the following year. This bizarre “blunder” prolongs the war, buys the Soviets much needed time to march westward, and eventually enables Stalin to steal Eastern Europe. There is a reason for this Geo-political “blunder”. FDR and his Globalist gang envision a post-war world in which the Soviets and the United States join forces to lay the foundation for a ‘New World Order’ (World Government). However, after the war, Stalin will break with the Globalists and move towards a form of Nationalistic Communism instead; an extension of the ideological conflict that had bitterly divided Stalin and Trotsky during the 1920’s. Stalin still supports world-wide Communist revolution, of course, but his vision of a New World Order is one in which Moscow calls the shots, not London or New York.
1943-1945
VLASOV’S ARMY: SOVIET POW’S VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT FOR GERMANY
Stalin’s tyranny was hated by so many Russians that as many as 500,000 Russian POW’s volunteered to fight for Germany! The anti-Communist soldiers of the
Russian Liberation Army wore German uniforms with a Russian patch. They were led by General Andrey Vlasov, but under German high command. The RLA fought valiantly, mainly in key rear guard support roles against Communist partisans. After the war, the RLA will attempt to surrender to the western allies. Not wanting to deny ‘Uncle Joe’ of his revenge, Eisenhower will turn down their offers and forcibly repatriate those who were already in U.S. custody. Despite pleading with the Americans for political asylum, General Vlasov and his freedom fighters will then be handed over to the brutal Soviets. Vlasov and 11 of his senior officers are hanged in Moscow in August, 1946.
MAY, 1944
4000 ITALIAN WOMEN ARE GANG RAPED BY FRENCH CONTROLLED NORTH AFRICANS AT MONTE CASSINO
In May ’44, the Allies finally succeed in taking Monte Cassino.(in Central Italy) from German control, after bombing the town’s 6th century abbey into ruins. The Allies have French-Moroccan troops fighting for them. The Moroccans are allowed to run wild; slitting the throats of prisoners, looting homes, and raping every Italian woman they can get their hands on. The Moroccans even rape local boys and a Catholic Priest! Two Italian sisters, ages 16 and 18, are gang raped by more than 200 Moroccans. One dies from the abuse, and the other will spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital.
An estimated 3000 women aged 11-86 are raped, some so violently that 100 of them die. About 800 village men who try to protect them are also killed. The Moroccans go unpunished by their “Free French” Commanders and will later rape and kill again when they occupy Germany.
JUNE 6, 1944
‘D-DAY’ – OVERLORD / ALLIED INVASION OF NORMANDY LAUNCHED ON 6-6-6 ESTABLISHES A FOOTHOLD IN EUROPE At the 6th hour, of the 6th day, of the 6th month of 1944, Allied armies based in England launch ‘D-Day’ (Devil’s Day?), and successfully cross the English Channel. The cost of Operation Overlord (the Devil?) is high as nearly 10,000 men are killed storming the fortified beaches of Normandy. But Overlord establishes an initial beachhead of 100,000 troops. From this base in northern France, the Allies will be reinforced for the push towards Germany. At the same time, the Soviet Red Army, armed to the teeth with state-of-the-art American weaponry, advances upon Germany from the east. With Italy also under Allied occupation, Germany has three fronts to defend (West, South, and East) as its cities, railways, dams, factories and civilian population endure relentless bombardment and Partisan sabotage.
In order to give Stalin time to conquer Eastern Europe, Generals Eisenhower and Marshall repeatedly delay the advance of General Patton’s unstoppable 3rd army, going so far as to cut off shipments of gasoline to Patton’s army! Patton (August, 1944): “At the present time our chief difficulty is not the Germans, but gasoline. If they would give me enough gas, I could go all the way to Berlin!”
SUMMER, 1944
THE MURDEROUS ‘LIBERATION’ & RAPE OF FRANCE Under what was intended to be only temporary, wartime German occupation (1940- 1944), life in Northern France goes by peacefully for French civilians. The conduct of the German occupiers is impeccable. Many French women fall in love with German soldiers. But with the Normandy invasion (June 6, 1944), the peace and security of France is shattered into a million pieces. To support the cross-channel invasion, and to then push the Germans eastward, the Allies unleash a ferocious aerial bombardment campaign. Entire towns are mercilessly carpet bombed. Cultural icons and works of art are destroyed, 65,000 French civilians are killed, 150,000 are injured, and at least 500,000 left homeless. Even Paris is heavily bombed. Incredibly, twice as many French civilians are bombed to death during only a few months, as the total amount of British civilians killed during the entire war! (10) Of course, these numbers pale in comparison to the 1,000,000 + German civilians who were killed by Allied bombings..The horror doesn’t end with the bombardment either. The Allied occupation and subsequent economic collapse bring new nightmares for the women of France. Under Allied occupation, American troops rape 1000’s of French women, and turn many 1000’s more hungry women into sex-
for-food prostitutes. To appease the French population, the U.S. Army will eventually hang 130 of its rapist soldiers, a majority of them Black. It will take years for these areas of France to recover from the tragedy. Such is the glorious “liberation” that Churchill, FDR, and the French traitor de Gaulle have imposed upon France.
JULY, 1944
RED ARMY ROLLS BACK INTO POLAND / GERMANS RETREAT With their free arsenal supplemented by America’s finest tanks, Tommy-Guns, planes, trucks, jeeps, and even food and blankets, the Red Army advances on Germany from the east. Stalin’s plot to take all of Eastern Europe has been helped greatly by Ike’s and Marshall’s curious obsession with invading Europe from England, instead of simply advancing from Europe’s “soft underbelly”. Stalin wants to crush Berlin. By July ’44, the murdering and raping Reds have rolled into Poland, threatening Germany’s eastern flank. Frightened German civilians begin
fleeing westward by land and also via the Baltic Sea.
JULY, 1944
BRETTON WOODS CONFERENCE ESTABLISHES THE WORLD BANK AND THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND The chaos and crisis of World War II gives the Globalists an opportunity to reshape the world’s monetary system into a “global economy”. At the Bretton Woods Conference in New Hampshire, 730 delegates from 44 nations set up new rules for commercial and financial relations. Representing the US is Harry Dexter White. White (originally Weiss) is the son of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire. Years after Bretton Woods, Dexter-White is revealed to be a Soviet spy. The top British delegate is the legendary Fabian Socialist (possible secret Communist) and homosexual pedophile (13), John Maynard Keynes. Keynes suggests the creation of a World Currency, to be issued by a Global Central Bank. But the world is not ready for such a radical step towards The New World Order. Instead of a global currency, each nation will link the value of its currency to the U.S. Dollar, which will serve as the international medium of exchange. Both the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, are conceived at Bretton Woods.
JULY 20, 1944
OPERATION VALKYRIE & THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST HITLER
In addition to a few ambitious traitors, there are still some naïve fools among the German military establishment who believe that the western Allies can yet be reasoned with and peace obtained in the western front. Unbeknownst to them, Churchill and FDR have already pledged to Stalin that they will not seek a separate peace with Germany.
Partly out of a sincere though very misguided belief that Germany would be spared if Hitler was assassinated; and partly out of a desire to save their own skin; a gang of plotters, led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, attempts to kill Adolf Hitler. The great General Erwin Rommel is believed to have given his blessing to the plot (though some have disputed this). Carrying a bomb in his briefcase, Stauffenberg attends a conference with Hitler. He then positions the briefcase under the table near Hitler. After a few minutes, Stauffenberg receives a planned telephone call and leaves the room. When the bomb detonates, it demolishes the conference room, killing three officers and the stenographer. Hitler survives with a perforated eardrum. The conspiracy is unraveled and the conspirators are soon executed by firing squad. General Rommel is granted the privilege of taking poison.
1944 – 1945
TYPHUS EPIDEMICS DEVASTATE THE GERMAN INTERNMENT CAMPS
Typhus is spread by head lice, and has historically been linked to wars and crowded conditions. Decomposing typhus corpses can also spread the disease into local groundwater. During and after the World War I, as many as 5 million Poles and Russians had died of the deadly disease.
To stop the spread of typhus, the Germans shave the heads of the prisoners and delouse their clothing in “gas chambers”. With the situation in Germany deteriorating fast, deadly typhus epidemics break out in Germany’s internment camps, especially in Poland. The Allied bombardment of railroads and medicine factories contributes greatly to this medical crisis. In spite of Germany’s well-documented efforts to stop the typhus epidemic, deaths in the concentration camps continue to mount throughout ’44 & ’45. After the war, Allied propaganda will falsely portray the typhus deaths as evidence of a deliberate extermination program aimed at the Jews.
AUGUST, 1944
THE VICHY GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE IS TOPPLED BY THE ALLIES / VENGEFUL GENERAL de GAULLE RETURNS AND MURDERS 40,000 OF HIS OWN PEOPLE
After the collapse of the Vichy French regime, General Charles de Gaulle returns from his English exile. The Globalist and Communist French then impose a new Reign of Terror. Cruel punishment is meted out against those labeled as “Nazi collaborators”, whose only crime was in making peace with Germany, or to have fought against the Soviets on the eastern front as members of the German SS units. The de Gaullist ‘liberals’ will murder as many as 40,000, and imprison 100,000 of their countrymen. French women who dated German soldiers during the occupation are humiliated by having their heads shaved bald or stripped naked. Marshal Petain escapes to Germany. After the war, he will be sentenced to death for “treason”, but due to his age, 88, and hero status from WW I, de Gaulle has no choice but to reduce Petain’s sentence to life in prison.
JANUARY 8, 1945
NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHES A COMMUNIST’S CLAIM OF 6 MILLION JEWS DEAD
Sing it again Four Tops: “It’s the same, old song….
We have firmly established that, on numerous occasions dating back to 1900, the propaganda claim of “6 million Jews” being in jeopardy of dying appeared in print. Towards the end of World War II, the first claim of 6 million Jews having actually died was published in January, 1945, based upon the claim of a Communist correspondent for the New York Jewish Daily Forward (an openly Marxist, Yiddish language publication). As far back as 1933, Lestchinsky (above, right) had been accused by both Latvia and Germany of spreading false atrocity propaganda. Germany had actually expelled him for telling atrocity lies. With neither investigation nor confirmation, Lestchinsky’s claim of 6 million dead Jews was immortalized with a headline in the Jewish owned New York Times. The most “prestigious” newspaper in the world thus gave a HUGE boost to a big lie. Aside from Lestchinsky being a known Communist liar, there is another problem with the story. You see, none of the major concentration camps had even been liberated yet! Following are the 1945 liberation dates for some of the most well known “Nazi death camps”:
All of these camps were regularly visited by the Red Cross, which estimated the final death toll at 270,000 (mainly from typhus). Though the number was based on German records, the Red Cross at the time neither questioned the figure nor ever complained about German cooperation with regard to camp inspection. So, where did Comrade Lestchinsky get this “6 million” from? As it turns out, the “6 million” number, which evidently has some symbolic significance, has been around for a long time.
JANUARY 30, 1945
SOVIET SUB SINKS THE WILHELM GUSTLOFF / 10,000 GERMAN REFUGEES KILLED AT SEA!
As the raping and murdering Soviets push eastward, millions of terrified German refugees flee west by land and sea. The liner MV Wilhelm Gustloff is packed shoulder-to-shoulder with 10 -12,000 people – 10 times as many as the Titanic! Soon after leaving port, the doomed ship is sighted by Soviet Submarine commander Alexander Marinesko. Having stalked his human prey for several hours, the Soviet killer then fires three torpedoes into the ship’s port side. In the panic that follows, many passengers are trampled to death as they flee to the decks. The Wilhelm Gustloff sinks in just 45 minutes. German ships arrive quickly and pluck about 1,000 survivors from the frigid Baltic Sea.
FEBRUARY, 1945
THE YALTA CONFERENCE / FDR ‘GIVES AWAY THE STORE’ TO JOE STALIN
The most historic of the “Big Three” conferences is held in the Black Sea resort of Yalta (Russian Crimea). At the Yalta Conference, FDR & Churchill (especially FDR).make easy concessions to the mass-murdering Communist, “Uncle Joe”. With Red spies Alger Hiss and Harry Hopkins influencing the dying Roosevelt (who dies in April), it is decided that after Germany’s defeat:
The Soviets will occupy Eastern Europe until free elections can be held. The Soviets will eventually join the war against Japan and be supplied with U.S. arms for the effort. After Japan is defeated, the Soviets will occupy northern Korea (without Korea’s approval!), and Manchuria in China (without China’s approval!) Millions of Russian POWs captured by the Germans, as well as Russian refugees fleeing Stalin, will be forcefully returned to Stalin. Germany will be split in half as will the Capital of Berlin.
FEBRUARY 13-15, 1945
THE ‘ASH WEDNESDAY’ HOLOCAUST OF DRESDEN 200,000 – 300,000 CIVILIANS KILLED!
By February of ‘45, the outcome of the war in Europe is already clear. Germany is finished and will formally surrender in 3 months. The murderous firebombing of the beautiful city of Dresden is therefore as cruel as it is unnecessary. In an apparent effort to mock Catholic Germans, the Zio-Globalists chose the day of “Ash Wednesday” to literally turn Dresden into ashes. For two straight days, wave upon wave of Allied air sorties drop phosphorus and incendiary bombs upon a defenseless population. Thousands of fires merge into one huge firestorm, sucking oxygen to feed itself as countless numbers of German elderly, women, and children suffocate or burn alive.
The fire is so massive that pilots report that their cockpits are actually illuminated by the great flame. Because so many refugees fleeing eastward have swelled Dresden’s population, it is difficult to say how many are killed by the Churchill/FDR “Holocaust”. Credible estimates vary between 200 -300,000 dead, and possibly as many 400,000! Survivors are later strafed with machine gun fire from low flying American & British fighter planes.
MARCH 10, 1945
FDR FIREBOMBS TOKYO / 100,000 CIVILIANS KILLED Though it will later be overshadowed by the subsequent atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Firebombing of Tokyo is just as deadly in its initial
death toll. The genocidal terror bombing involves the same type of incendiary explosives dropped on Dresden one month earlier, and yields similar horrific results. The charred bodies of 100,000 dead civilians litter the streets and 250,000 buildings and homes are destroyed. Millions more are injured or left homeless.
APRIL 12, 1945
FDR DIES OF A STROKE/ HARRY TRUMAN BECOMES PRESIDENT
The polio-stricken FDR will not live to see the end of the bloody war that he helped unleash upon the world. FDR intends to take a few weeks rest before his anticipated appearance at the founding conference of the United Nations in San Francisco. On the afternoon of April 12, Roosevelt says out loud, “I have a terrific pain in the back of my head.” He slumps forward in his chair, unconscious, and is carried into his bedroom. Like Wilson in 1919, FDR suffers a massive stroke and dies soon afterwards. FDR’s lasting legacy for America is the class warfare induced welfare state and the brutal foreign warfare state; both of which are bankrupting the United States and killing innocents abroad. Naturally, after his death The New York Times declares, “Men will thank God on their knees a hundred years from now that Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House”.
Vice President Harry Truman becomes President. He is a corrupt, dim-witted political hack and failed businessman. FDR’s Jewish and Red inner circle will continue to run the show while the ill-tempered little man from Missouri delivers the speeches. Nothing will change.
APRIL 15, 1945
EISENHOWER ORDERS PATTON’S ARMY TO HALT / BERLIN & EASTERN EUROPE RESERVED FOR STALIN!
British General Bernard Montgomery argues that there is now nothing to stop the Allies from sweeping into Berlin, thus taking the German Capital before the advancing Soviet army can get there. Eisenhower, however, has other ideas. As FDR’s loyal lapdog had done time and time again, “Ike” would find a way to delay the Allied advance so as to buy time for Stalin to advance from the east. On March 28, ’45, Ike sends a message to Stalin, assuring him that the Allied advance will focus on western Germany. On April 15, Ike issues a halt order forbidding Allied commanders from crossing the Elbe River. Generals Montgomery and Patton are very upset over the sudden order to halt the advance, thus condemning Berlin, and all of Eastern Europe, to Soviet barbarism.
APRIL 16, 1945
SOVIET SUB SINKS THE GOYA / 7,000 MORE GERMAN REFUGEES KILLED AT SEA!
The Goya.is a German transport ship carrying 7,000 wounded soldiers and terrified refugees westward. The Red Terror will follow these poor souls to sea. Soviet Captain Vladimir Konovalov spots the Goya and orders it to be blasted by torpedoes. The Goya sinks very quickly, plunging its passengers into the icy Baltic Sea. Less than 200 will survive. The final death toll is about the equivalent of 7 Titanics! For this murderous war crime, Captain Konovalov is awarded the Soviet Union’s highest military decoration, Hero of the Soviet Union.
APRIL 28, 1945
ITALIAN COMMUNIST PARTISANS KILL MUSSOLINI / HIS BODY IS PUBLICLY HUNG UPSIDE DOWN
With total defeat looming in Europe, Mussolini attempts to escape to neutral Switzerland. He is captured and summarily executed near Lake Como by Italian Partisans (Communists). Mussolini’s body is then taken to Milan, where it is hung upside down for public viewing and also to provide confirmation of his death. Mussolini’s 1922 takeover of Italy (The March on Rome) saved Italy from Communism. There were many positive economic and social developments during his rule. But in the end, “il Duce” and his imperialistic ego put Italy and Germany in very difficult situations. His reckless adventures in Africa & Greece made Italy a huge burden for Germany to carry and defend. Moreover, French & Arab disdain for Mussolini’s actions ruined Hitler’s chances to bring France and the Arabs into an anti-British alliance.
APRIL 30, 1945
HITLER ISSUES HIS FINAL TESTAMENT / COMMITS SUICIDE IN HIS BERLIN BUNKER
With the situation in Berlin hopeless, Hitler marries his longtime mistress, Eva Braun. The two then commit suicide; Eva by poison, Hitler by gunshot. Hitler’s dog Blondie is also poisoned. The staff is under orders to burn the bodies and to escape Berlin before the Soviets can capture them.
One day before committing suicide, Hitler had dictated his final Political Testament, a suicide note, in essence, in which he denied any responsibility for starting the war. Some critical excerpts that you’ll not find in your High School history book: “More than thirty years have now passed since I in 1914 made my modest contribution as a volunteer in the First World War that was forced upon the Reich. In these three decades I have been actuated solely by love and loyalty to my people in all my thoughts, acts, and life. They gave me the strength to make the most difficult decisions which have ever confronted mortal man. I have spent my time, my working strength, and my health in these three decades. “It is untrue that I or anyone else in Germany wanted war in 1939. It was wanted and provoked solely by international statesmen either of Jewish origin or working for Jewish interests. I have made too many offers for the control and limitation of armaments, which posterity will not for all time be able to disregard for the responsibility for the outbreak of this war to be laid on me. Nor have I ever wished that after the appalling First World War a second against England, or even against America, should break out. Centuries will pass away, but out of the ruins of our towns and monuments the hatred of those whom we have to thank for all this will always grow anew: international Jewry and its henchmen. Three days before the outbreak of the German-Polish war I again proposed to the British ambassador in Berlin a solution to the German-Polish problem—similar to that in the case of the Saar district, under international control This offer also cannot be denied. It was only rejected because the leading circles in English politics wanted the war, partly on account of the business hoped for and partly under influence of propaganda organized by International Jewry. After six years of war, which in spite of all setbacks will go down one day in history as the most glorious and valiant demonstration of a nation’s life purpose, I cannot forsake the city which is the capital of this Reich. As the forces are too small to make any further stand against the enemy attack at this place, and our resistance is gradually being weakened by men who are as deluded as they are lacking in initiative, I should like, by remaining in this town, to share my fate with those, the millions of others, who have also taken upon themselves to do so. Moreover, I do not wish to fall into the hands of an enemy who requires a new spectacle organized by the Jews for the amusement of their hysterical masses. I have
decided therefore to remain in Berlin and there of my own free will to choose death at the moment when I believe the position of the Fuehrer and Chancellor itself can no longer be held. I die with a happy heart, aware of the immeasurable deeds and achievements of our soldiers at the front, our women at home, the achievements of our farmers and workers and the work, unique in history, of our youth who bear my name”.
MAY 3, 1945
AMERICA’S PERSECUTION OF EZRA POUND
Just days after killing Mussolini, the American-controlled Partisans hunt down and capture the famous American poet, Ezra Pound, and hand him over to the OSS (CIA) for interrogation. Pound is an admirer of National Socialism, or “Fascism” as it is called in Italy. While living in Italy during the war, Pound had condemned the unjust war and the Jewish financiers behind it. After his capture, he praises Adolf Hitler a
“Saint”. The great literary genius and gentle peace lover is then sentenced to an insane asylum for 12 years!
MAY 8, 1945
V–E DAY / VICTORY IN EUROPE PROCLAIMED AS GERMANY SURRENDERS WITHOUT CONDITIONS
Upon hearing news that Germany has surrendered unconditionally, jubilant crowds throughout Britain and the U.S. celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Admiral Karl Donitz, named in Hitler’s final testament as the new President of Germany, signs the surrender agreement. He soberly remarks, “With this signature, the German people and armed forces are for better or for worse, delivered into the victor’s hands.”
But there is to be no mercy for the German people who had dared to defy the New World Order, and, for a while, had actually defeated the Globalists! Germany’s real
nightmares are about to unfold as a vengeful Globalist-Communist Alliance-of- Evil imposes a collective punishment upon Germany that will dwarf Versailles.
Between 10 million and 15 million Germans died during, and after World War II.

HOURS AFTER GERMAN SURRENDERS, SOVIETS PUBLISH REPORT OF ‘GAS CHAMBERS’ USED TO KILL JEWS / NEW YORK TIMES CARRIES THE CLAIM
The May 8 Zionist-Globalist New York Times, carries a story on p. 12 of the VE-Day edition, an article by Zionist C.L. Sulzberger headlined: ‘Oswiecim (Auschwitz) Killings Placed at 4 Million; Soviet Commission Reports’. The story tells of mass killing and “gassings” at the Auschwitz prison camp in Poland. The timing of the report’s release –just hours after Germany’s surrender– makes it impossible for the falsely accused Germans to refute Stalin’s claim. It is a little known fact of history that the Auschwitz “gas chamber” story originated with a Soviet report (authorized by the known liars and murderers Joe Stalin & Lazar Kaganovich) which is then spread by the “prestigious” NY Times. In 1988, and again in 1991, forensic tests on the remnants of the Auschwitz “gas chamber” will come back negative for any traces of “gas” or “poison”. Noted American and European scholars who have since dared to explore the many inconsistencies and contradictions of “The Holocaust” story have been subjected to
harassment, career destruction and (in Europe & Canada) imprisonment. The Holocaust is a story that the Globalists & Zionists will NEVER allow to be debated.. Adolf Hitler nearly smashed the New World Order. It is for this reason that he must forever be portrayed in the public mind as the most evil and wretched monster who ever lived.

THE FOUNDING CHARTER FOR THE UNITED NATIONS IS SIGNED IN SAN FRANCISCO
At the founding San Francisco Conference that established the United Nations, the U.S. official serving as Secretary General is the Communist agent Alger Hiss. Hiss will later be exposed as a Soviet spy in 1948. The U.N. replaces the League of Nations as the foundation of The New World Order. All 51 nations signing the original charter agree to be bound by its articles.
The all-out propaganda campaign surrounding the UN’s establishment is pervasive and intense. It is argued that “isolationist” America’s refusal to join the League of Nations after World War I was the tragic mistake that led to World War II. That mistake “must not be repeated”. Within 30 days, the US Senate will approve the UN Treaty by a vote of 89-2! Even the conservative legend, Senator Robert Taft (son of President William.Howard.Taft) votes in favor of U.S. entry. The embryonic World Government will be headquartered in New York, on 18 acres of prime real estate donated by the Rockefeller Family. Globalism has won World War II!
AUGUST 6 & 10, 1945
HORROR IN JAPAN! / ATOMIC BOMBS DROPPED ON HIROSHIMA & NAGASAKI
Like FDR before him, Harry Truman also has no regard for human life. By August ‘45, Japan is trying hard, via “neutral” Soviet channels, to negotiate surrender, just not unconditionally as Truman demands. Little do the Japanese know that the Soviets are already planning to join the war in East Asia! Atomic bombs are then dropped on the women, elderly, and children of Hiroshima (Aug 6) and Nagasaki (Aug 10). Within the first few months of the bombings, the effects kill 100-150,000 people in Hiroshima and 60–80,000 in Nagasaki. Half of the deaths occur on the first day, mostly from burns. Many more die of cancer later on.
AUGUST 9, 1945
SOVIET UNION DECLARES WAR UPON BEATEN JAPAN! Just 3 days after the bombing of Hiroshima, and only hours before the 2nd bombing at Nagasaki, the man whom Truman and the U.S. press affectionately referred to as ‘Uncle Joe” breaks the Soviet-Japanese Non Aggression Pact of 1941 and declares war upon an already beaten Japan. Thanks Joe; we couldn’t have won it without you! Stalin’s entry into the Asian theater, agreed to at the Yalta Conference, will enable him to arm and materially assist Mao Tse Tung’s Communist takeover of China in
Soviet occupation of North Korea will also lead to the Korean divide which results in the North vs. South Korean War; and 50,000 more dead Americans.
AUGUST 15, 1945
V- J DAY/ JAPAN SURRENDERS
Facing what Truman calls “a Rain of Ruin”, Japan, like Germany before her, has to make a choice between unrestrained civilian genocide at American and now Soviet hands, or unconditional surrender and occupation. Japan surrenders on August 15, ’45. (Victory in Japan Day) It should be noted that General Macarthur felt that the atomic bombing was unnecessary, Macarthur later states, “My staff was unanimous in believing that Japan was on the point of collapse and surrender.” For the Globalists, the atomic bombings will later serve a strategic purpose. The threat of “nuclear war” will, in the coming years, do much to frighten, and then consolidate, the nations of the world into political, economic, and military alliances. The Global fear of “the Bomb” will be very useful for The New World Order.
BRITAIN & POLAND AGREE TO A MILITARY ALLIANCE The Polish-British Common Defense Pact contains promises of British military assistance in the event that Poland is attacked by another European country. This builds upon a previous agreement (March 1939) between the two countries, and also with France, by specifically committing to military action in the event of an attack. With this agreement, Zionist-Globalist forces in the UK have trapped the reluctant Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, as well as France. All that is left to do
now is for Polish-Jewish border thugs, under the protection of Marshal Edward Rydz- Smigly, to deliberately provoke Germany into action and get the war started. On the
nights of August 25 to August 31 inclusive, there occur many violent attacks on German civilians as well as German officials and property.
QUOTE TO REMEMBER:
“Chamberlain (speaking off the record to Ambassador Kennedy while golfing) stated that the America and the world Jews had forced England into the war”.
AUGUST 28, 1939
HITLER ISSUES AN OPEN PEACE LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
Now emboldened by Britain, France and, from ‘behind the scenes’, Roosevelt, Poland’s relentless and murderous abuse of its captive German population reaches the breaking point. Hitler is prepared for war with Poland but is still attempting to preserve peace, especially with France and Britain. In an open letter to French President Daladier, Hitler makes yet another impassioned plea for peace.
Some pertinent excerpts:
“My dear Minister President: I understand the misgiving to which you give expression. I, too, have never overlooked the grave responsibilities which are imposed upon those who are in charge of the fate of nations. As an old front line fighter, I, like you, know the horrors of war. Guided by this attitude and experience, I have tried to remove all matters that might cause conflict between our two peoples. As you could judge for yourself during your last visit here, the German people, in the knowledge of its own behavior held and holds no ill feelings, much less hatred, for its one-time brave opponent. On the contrary, the pacification of our western frontier led to an increasing sympathy. I am deeply convinced that if, especially, England at that time had, instead of starting a wild campaign against Germany in the press and instead of launching rumors of a German mobilization, somehow talked the Poles into being reasonable, Europe today and for twenty-five years could enjoy a condition of deepest peace. As things were, Polish public opinion was excited by a lie about German aggression.The Polish government declined the proposals. Polish public opinion, convinced that England and France would now fight for Poland, began to make demands one might possibly stigmatize as laughable insanity were they not so tremendously dangerous. At that point an unbearable terror, a physical and economic persecution of the Germans although they numbered more than a million and a half began in the regions ceded by the Reich. May I now take the liberty of putting a question to you, Herr Daladier: How would you act as a Frenchman if, through some unhappy issue of a brave struggle, one of your provinces severed by a corridor occupied by a foreign power? And if a big city – let us say Marseilles – were hindered from belonging to France and if Frenchmen living in this area were persecuted, beaten and maltreated, yes, murdered, in a bestial manner? I see no way of persuading Poland, which feels herself as unassailable, now that she enjoys the protection of her guarantees, to accept a peaceful solution. If our two countries on that account should be destined to meet again on the field of battle, there would nevertheless be a difference in the motives. I, Herr Daladier, shall be leading my people in a fight to rectify a wrong, whereas the others would be fighting to preserve that wrong.”
QUOTE TO REMEMBER
“German men and women were hunted like wild beasts through the streets of Bromberg. When they were caught, they were mutilated and torn to pieces by the Polish mob. . . . Every day the butchery increased. . . . Thousands of Germans fled from their homes in Poland with nothing more than the clothes that they wore.. On the nights of August 25 to August 31 inclusive, there occurred, besides innumerable attacks on civilians of German blood, 44 perfectly authenticated acts of armed violence against German official persons and property.”
William Joyce, Irish defector to Germany
AUGUST 31, 1939
‘THE GLEIWITZ’ (& other) BORDER ATTACKS / JEWISH-POLISH GUERILLAS ATTACK GERMAN RADIO STATION
Overestimating their strength, underestimating German strength, and believing that France and the UK would now back him, Marshal Smigly allows Polish-Jewish partisan terrorists to cross the border and attack a German radio station in Germany. It is actually the latest in a string of deliberate border instigations against Germany. The “Poles” then broadcast a message (in Polish) urging others to take up arms and start killing Germans. German police quickly arrive and retake the station, killing one of the Red terrorists. Jewish Red terrorists, their Polish government protectors, and their Globalist-Zionist masters have picked a fight with Germany! Modern fake historians claim that the Gleiwitz incident was staged by Germans dressed as Polish terrorists. But as is the case with the Reichstag Fire conspiracy
theory, they offer no evidence to support this oft-repeated lie, (beyond a forced “confession” obtained after the war) to support this theory – a theory that ignores the outrageous and repeated pattern of provocations directed at Hitler’s Germany ever since 1933, the numerous border incidents, the murders of Germans and also Hitler’s sincere attempts to negotiate a resolution to the Corridor and Danzig controversies.
QUOTE TO REMEMBER “I lived in Germany during the 1980’s when many people who lived during the war were still alive. I sought out anyone who lived near Poland in 1939 and was lucky enough to meet several people. One was a customs official who said it was so bad on the border they were armed and also had grenades in their office ready for attacks. Another told me his farm animals were often stolen by Polish (Jewish?) terrorists. Another told of his niece being raped by a Pole (Jew?) who crossed the border. He told me in 1940 they caught the man and showed me a copy of the death order signed by Heydrich, in which he ordered the man be put to death. This is just one of many stories told to me by German civilians who witnessed these border incursions just like had happened in 1919-1928. One thing many people fail to see is that Poland openly attacked Germany right after World War I, which led to many border battles. Once Germany started pressing Poland to work out a solution to the corridor, the attacks started again. .And one thing that is clear to me is that Germany did not make up for these attacks.”
–George H. Ohio, USA
Hitler has had about all he could take from Poland.
QUOTE TO REMEMBER
“This (Declaration of War) is the fault of the anti-appeasers and thefucking Jews.”
British Duke Arthur Wellesley (5th Duke of Wellington) was the great grandson ofthe famous Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon.
SEPTEMBER 7-16, 1939
THE SAAR OFFENSIVE / FRANCE INVADES GERMANY The Saar Offensive is a French ground invasion into Saarland, Germany. The large scale assault is to be carried out by 40 divisions and 40 tank battalions. According to the Franco-Polish military convention, the French Army was to gain control over the area between the French border and the Siegfried Line of German defense. Much to the dismay of the fools in Poland, the full 40-division all-out assault never materializes. The empty promises of empire were just an Allied trick just to get stupid Marshal Smigly to start the fight with Germany. But a limited invasion and occupation of Germany’s Saar region does indeed occur. On October 16 & 17, the German army, now reinforced with troops returning from the Polish campaign, conducts a counter-offensive which retakes the lost territory from the invading French. In liberating what the French had invaded, the Germans lose 196 soldiers, plus 114 missing and 356 wounded. Hitler continues to plea for peace. So you see, dear reader, the Anglo-French Allies not only instigated the war, and not only were the first to declare war, they also drew first blood upon Germany.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1939
SOVIET UNION INVADES POLAND FROM THE EAST / ALLIES SAY NOTHING
With the Polish army being routed by the advancing Germans in the west, Stalin cleverly decides to break the Soviet-Polish Non Aggression Pact of 1932. Poland is stabbed in the back as Soviet forces pour in from the east. The advancing Reds carry out massacres, the most infamous being the Katyn Forest Massacre in which 10,000 Polish Army officers are shot in the head. Other than the pre-Versailles German areas which Germany reclaims, the Soviets will eventually take all of Poland. In a shocking double-standard, the anti-German, FDR, France & the UK remain oddly silent about this brutal Soviet aggression. Poland appeals to Britain and France for help, citing the Poland-British Defense Pact just signed a few weeks ago. The Polish ambassador in London contacts the British Foreign Office pointing out that clause 1(b) of the agreement, which concerned an “aggression by a European power” on Poland, should apply to the Soviet invasion. The UK Foreign Secretary responds with hostility, stating that it was Britain’s decision whether to declare war on the Soviet Union. The truth is, the Allies don’t give a rat’s ass about Poland. They only used its stupid ultra-nationalist leader (who by now has shamelessly abandoned his troops and fled to Romania), to instigate Hitler so that they could have their war. The horror that Poland will suffer under Soviet occupation is now Poland’s problem, not the Allies’.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1939
GERMANY DEFEATS POLAND / DANZIG AND ALL OF PRUSSIA REUNITED WITH THE REST OF GERMANY
Within a few weeks, the German-Polish War is already over. Hitler receives a hero’s welcome upon his arrival in liberated Danzig. Hitler addresses the Danzig crowd: “No power on earth would have borne this condition as long as Germany. I do not know what England would have said about a similar peace solution (Versailles) at its expense or how America or France would have accepted it. I attempted to find a tolerable solution – even for this problem. I submitted this attempt to the Polish rulers in the form of verbal proposals. .You know these proposals. They were more than moderate. I do not know what mental condition the Polish Government was in when it refused these proposals. …….As an answer, Poland gave the order for the first mobilization. Thereupon wild terror was initiated, and my request to the Polish Foreign Minister to visit me in Berlin once more to discuss these questions was refused. Instead of going to Berlin, he went to London.” Hitler rightfully mocks Smigly as a coward: “The Polish Marshal, who miserably deserted his armies, said that he would hack the German Army to pieces.”
OCTOBER, 1939 – MAY, 1940
HITLER PLEADS FOR PEACE WITH BRITAIN & FRANCE The German-Polish War has ended quickly. The Allies never had any intention of helping Poland. The French actually invade Germany on September 7th, advancing 8 km before stopping. The quiet period between the end of the Polish war until May 1940, is dubbed by a U.S. Senator as “The Phony War.” During this time, Hitler pleads for the Allies to withdraw their war declarations. Towards France he declares:.“I have always expressed to France my desire to bury forever our ancient enmity and bring together these two nations, both of which have such glorious pasts.” To the British, Hitler says: “I have devoted no less effort to the achievement of Anglo-German friendship. At no time and in no place have I ever acted contrary to British interests….Why should this war in the West be fought?” Hitler’s pleas for peace are ignored as the allies begin to mobilize more than 2,000,000 troops in Northern France. Plans are openly discussed to advance eastward upon Germany, via “neutral” Belgium and Holland, as well as establishing operations in “neutral” Norway and Denmark, with or without their consent.
NOVEMBER 4, 1939
FDR REPEALS THE NEUTRALITY ACTS
The Neutrality Acts prohibited the United States from selling arms to warring nations. The purpose of these acts was to prevent the U.S. from again becoming involved in Europe’s wars. Throughout the 1930’s, FDR and his Zionist advisor Bernard Baruch (who had also been an advisor to Woodrow Wilson), anticipating a new war against Germany, had unsuccessfully tried to amend the previous Neutrality Acts. Soon after Germany and Poland began fighting, FDR again urges Congress to repeal the Neutrality Acts. In November of ’39, a new Neutrality Act is passed. The sale of arms to the UK is now legal. The scheming FDR has taken a big step towards involving America in a war that his Zio-Globo handlers have long been agitating for.
APRIL 9, 1940
GERMANY IS FORCED INTO PRE-EMPTIVE, LIMITED OCCUPATIONS OF NORWAY & DENMARK
The Allied plan of attack is to disrupt Germany’s iron ore imports from Sweden by illegally mining Norwegian waters, and then occupying the important Norwegian port of Narvik. Plans are also made for imposing a base of operations in Denmark, Germany’s neutral neighbor to its north. A Norwegian politician named Vidkun Quisling confirms the existence of these Allied plots.
(Operation Wilfred and Plan R 4). Sympathetic to Germany, and not wanting his country to become a battlefield, Quisling informs Hitler of the Anglo-French plot to wage war from the two Scandinavian countries.
Germany moves quickly to secure the Norwegian port of Narvik just before the British can place their mines, and also to occupy Denmark. German diplomats assure the leaders of both Scandinavian nations that Germany seeks neither conquest nor interference in internal affairs. Life under limited German occupation goes on quietly for the Scandinavians during the war. Quisling’s name is now a dictionary word in the English language, synonymous with “traitor” – a totally unfair characterization.
MAY 10, 1940
GREAT BRITAIN INVADES NEUTRAL ICELAND
The British invasion of tiny, neutral Iceland is code named “Operation Fork.” It begins on May 10, 1940 (the same day that Churchill comes to power) with British troops disembarking in the Capital City of Reykjavik.
The British quickly move inland, disabling communications networks and securing landing locations.
The government of Iceland protests the violation of their neutrality, but to no avail. This force is then subsequently augmented, to a final strength of 25,000.
The recently thwarted British occupations of neutral Denmark and Norway, and the successful occupation of neutral Iceland, show that Rothschild Britain is the true aggressor of the coming war in Western Europe. Although FDR, up until December 1941, promises that America will remain non-belligerent, 30,000 US troops will relieve the British and occupy Iceland in spring of 1941.
MAY 10, 1940
WINSTON CHURCHILL BECOMES UK’s PRIME MINISTER With the preparations for war in place, the reluctant warrior Neville Chamberlain is finally pushed aside as the lunatic, drunken, cigar chomping Winston Churchill takes his place. Churchill’s record of treason already includes the World War I sinking of the Lusitania (when he was Lord of the Admiralty). Churchill, and his wealthy London (and New York) Zionist backers, have been advocating for war with Germany for the past 6 years. His warmongering had made him an outcast in British politics. But now, with the Zionist press of Britain misrepresenting the facts surrounding the German-Polish War, Churchill is portrayed as some sort of wise prophet. Hitler knows very well who Churchill is, and who he works for. He had even referred to Churchill in past speeches as part of Britain’s “government of tomorrow”. With Chamberlain gone and Churchill now in power, Hitler now knows for certain that “the Phony War” is about to become very real.
QUOTE TO REMEMBER:
“I emphasized that the defeat of Germany and Japan and their elimination from world trade would give Britain a tremendous opportunity to swell her foreign commerce in both volume and profit.”
– Bernard M. Baruch
MAY 10, 1940
GERMANY LAUNCHES PRE-EMPTIVE INVASION OF ‘LOW COUNTRIES’
Hitler’s pleas for peace have been repeatedly ignored as 400,000 British and at least 2,000,000 French troops have massed in northern France. The massive invasion of Germany’s industrial Ruhr region is to come through the ostensibly “neutral” League of Nations member states of Belgium and The Netherlands (Holland), whose governments are under intense Allied pressure to allow safe passage for the planned Allied attack on the bordering Ruhr region of Germany. Again, Hitler’s hand is forced. On the same day that Churchill comes to power, and that the UK invades Iceland, as an act of national self-defense, Germany takes the fight to the Allies before they can bring it to German soil and reinstitute a 2nd Versailles Treaty. In a stunning advance westward, the German Blitzkrieg quickly overtakes the smaller nations (known as the Low Countries because of their geography) and pushes the Allied armies into a full retreat towards the beaches of northern France. The Globo-Zionist press, as well as today’s history books, portrays the Blitz as “the Nazi conquest of Holland, Belgium, and France.” But the menacing presence of the massive Allied force on Germany’s industrial frontier is conveniently ignored, as is the undeniable and extensive collaboration between the “neutral” Low Countries and the Allies.
MAY 10, 1940
ALLIES BOMB GERMAN TOWN OF FRIEBURG / 20 CHILDREN KILLED IN A PLAYGROUND
The medieval and non-strategic German town of Freiburg is located just 20 miles from the French border. In the opening hours of the war in the west, new Prime Minister Churchill and his French allies waste no time in murdering civilians. About 60 bombs are dropped on or near Freiburg; killing 50 civilians including 20 children who were playing outside. This was the first bombing of civilians in World War II. In order to whitewash this horrific deed from the pages of history; and to maintain the historical myth that it was Germany that initiated the bombings of civilians; court historians have long promoted the ridiculous lie that the Germans accidentally bombed their own town and then blamed the event on the Allies in order to cover up the mistake. Subsequent terror bombings of German civilians will dispel any doubt that Churchill was indeed capable of deliberately exterminating civilians.
MAY, 1940
HITLER TRIES FOR PEACE THROUGH A SWEDISH CHANNEL After having just defeated the French and British invaders, Hitler, via a Swedish third party, proposes generous peace terms to Britain. The Germans contact the British ambassador in Sweden, Victor Mallet, through Sweden ́s Supreme Court Judge Ekeberg, who is known to Hitler ́s legal advisor, Ludwig Weissauer. Hitler ́s peace proposal demands nothing of Great Britain and implies that the states currently occupied by Germany would be de-occupied; as Germany ́s occupation was only due to the present war situation. But Winston Churchill is not interested in peace. The offer goes nowhere.
MAY 25-28, 1940
“THE WAR CABINET CRISIS” / CHURCHILL AND LORD HALIFAX DIVIDED OVER ITALIAN PEACE MEDIATION
Giuseppe Bastianini, the Italian ambassador in London, requests a meeting with British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax to discuss Italy’s neutrality. Halifax meets Bastianini later that afternoon. The discussion soon moves to that of Italian mediation between the Allies and Germany. Bastianini reveals that the goal of Italian leader Benito Mussolini (Hitler’s close ally) is to negotiate a settlement “that would not merely be an armistice, but would protect European peace for the century.” Halifax responds very favorably to the idea and takes it to the British War Cabinet. The following morning Halifax reports to the War Cabinet, summarizing his meeting with Bastianini and urging his colleagues to consider Italian mediation. Again, Churchill would have none of it! For several days, Halifax continues to press for the Mussolini mediation. In an apparent attempt to placate Halifax, Churchill states that he doubts whether anything would come of an approach to Italy, but that the matter was one which the War
Cabinet should consider. But Churchill is lying to Halifax. Never once did Churchill even consider Mussolini’s offer to mediate peace between Britain and
Germany. The matter eventually dies after Churchill outmaneuvers the peace- seeking Halifax. The conflict is known as ‘The War Cabinet Crisis’.
MAY 27 – JUNE 4, 1940
AS A SIGN OF FRIENDSHIP, HITLER ALLOWS THE ALLIED ARMIES TO ESCAPE AT DUNKIRK
After Germany’s stunning advance, the Allies are trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk, France. The entire force can be easily captured, but Hitler issues a halt order. As a show of good faith towards his western tormentors, Hitler believes that the British will be more likely to make peace if they can escape with their dignity intact. A massive boat lift involving British fishermen ferries the troops across the English Channel back to England. The Globalist Press maliciously spins Hitler’s gracious act as a “miraculous escape right under Hitler’s nose.” The cigar-chomping, Zionist-owned, alcoholic Winston Churchill vows to keep fighting as he frightens the British people with tales of imminent German invasion.
QUOTE TO REMEMBER:
“He (Hitler) then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire, of the necessity for its existence, and of the civilization that Britain had brought into the world. ….He compared the British Empire with the Catholic Church saying they were both essential elements of stability in the world. He said that all he wanted from Britain was that she should acknowledge Germany’s position on the Continent. The return of Germany’s colonies would be desirable but not essential, and he would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in difficulties anywhere.”
German General von Blumentritt

SOVIET UNION INVADES 4 COUNTRIES AT THE SAME TIME! / LATVIA, LITHUANIA, ESTONIA, & EASTERN ROMANIA
With the eyes of the world focused on events in Western Europe, Stalin continues to expand his Evil Empire. The Reds annex the tiny defenseless Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Stalin also annexes parts of eastern Romania. The Soviet Union has now invaded 6 countries in just 9 months! Yet, the western Globalists only remain obsessed with attacking Germany, whose leader, just like the Kaiser had two decades earlier, continues to plead for peace.
JUNE, 1940
AFTER GERMANY’S DEFEAT OF THE ALLIES, MUSSOLINI’s ITALY JOINS THE WAR
Upon seeing Germany’s stunning victory in 1940, Benito Mussolini, the opportunistic, ego-driven Leader of Italy, ends Italy’s neutrality and allies himself with Germany. He declares war upon France (which was already beaten and occupied) and also upon the UK, (which is already being chased out of Europe at Dunkirk). Unlike Hitler’s defensive war, Mussolini dreams of conquest, hoping to restore a new Roman Empire in North Africa. But his reckless adventures will prove to be very costly to Hitler. In August of ’40, Italy occupies British Somaliland in East Africa. In September, Italy invades Egypt, which has been occupied by the British since a 1936 Treaty to protect the Suez Canal. In picking a fight with Britain, Mussolini bites off far more than the unimpressive Italian military can chew. The superior British land and naval forces dominate their Italian adversaries, giving Churchill a potential continental opening to invade a now non-neutral Italy from North Africa.
JUNE 22, 1940
NEW GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE MAKES PEACE WITH HITLER As the fleeing French government collapses, the Germans enter undefended Paris on June 14 ‘ 40. The new government is headed by the World War I hero Marshal Philippe Petain, who agrees to make peace with Germany. Unlike the brutality of the Versailles Treaty, the terms of this Armistice are very light, requiring only that Germany continues to occupy northern France as a defensive measure against a British invasion of the continent. The new French government has its administrative offices in the southern city of Vichy. Other than the strategic occupation in the north, France remains a sovereign nation. Life in occupied France goes on quietly. German soldiers establish an excellent reputation for good behavior, and charm with the French ladies. Meanwhile in the UK, Churchill and French General Charles De Gaulle fume over Marshal Petain’s refusal to continue fighting. Hitler wants Petain to ally his country with Germany, but Mussolini’s war declaration upon France leaves such a bad taste in the mouths of Frenchmen that they cannot possibly join a German-Italian alliance.

WORLD JEWISH CONGRESS CLAIMS THAT 6 MILLION JEWS ARE DOOMED IF GERMANY WINS THE WAR
Sing it Four Tops! – “It’s the same, old song, with a different …..
Not a single Jew has even been interned and Hitler is still pleading for peace; yet the “Holocaust” and the “6 million” have already been established!
JULY, 1940
CHURCHILL LAUNCHES AERIAL BOMBARDMENT CAMPAIGN AGAINST GERMAN CIVILIANS
With British ground troops having been chased off of the European mainland, Churchill and his London/New York Banking Bosses can only continue the fight over air (and sea). The British Royal Air Force is ordered to bomb civilian areas. Churchill hopes to provoke a similar response from Hitler so that he and FDR can point to “German bombing of civilians.” In a July memo to the Minister of UK Air Craft production, Churchill writes: “When I look around to see how we can win the war I see that there is only one sure path. We have no Continental army which can defeat the German military power.. …there is one thing that will bring him (Hitler) down, and that is an absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland. We must be able to overwhelm them by this means, without which I do not see a way through.”
The notorious drunk will bomb German civilian areas seven times. But Hitler refuses to do the same. German bombers are under strict orders to limit their attacks to military/industrial targets only…Finally, in September; Hitler is forced to declare that any more British bombings of civilian areas will be met with a similar response. When the German Air Force drops its first bombs on British civilian areas, the world press declares “Germany Bombs Civilians.” As he had done with the orchestrated sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, Winston Churchill has again deliberately brought on the deaths of innocent men, women, and children in order to achieve political goals.
JULY 20, 1940
HITLER DROPS ‘PEACE LEAFLETS’ OVER LONDON! With Germany in total control of the continent and the war situation, Hitler responds to Churchill’s bombs by dropping mass quantities of leaflets over London. The 4- page broadsheet contains an English language summary of Hitler’s recent speech before the Reichstag. The speech is entitled, “A Last Appeal to Reason”, in which he closes with a final appeal for peace: “In this hour I feel it to be my duty before my own conscience to appeal once more to reason and common sense in Great Britain as much as elsewhere. I consider myself in a position to make this appeal, since I am not the vanquished, begging favors, but the victor speaking in the name of reason. I can see no reason why this war must go on. I am grieved to think of the sacrifices it will claim. Possibly Mr. Churchill again will brush aside this statement of mine by saying that it is merely born of fear and of doubt in our final victory. In that case I shall have relieved my conscience in regard to the things to come.” The British respond to Hitler’s sincere plea with mockery, threats, and more bombs.

I am grieved to think of the sacrifices it will claim. Possibly Mr. Churchill again will brush aside this statement of mine by saying that it is merely born of fear and of doubt in our final victory. In that case I shall have relieved my conscience in regard to the things to come.” The British respond to Hitler’s sincere plea with mockery, threats, and more bombs.

‘AXIS’ NATIONS OF GERMANY, ITALY, & JAPAN SIGN ‘TRI-PARTITE PACT / HOPE TO KEEP THE U.S. OUT OF THE WAR
Germany and Japan are suspicious of FDR’s true intentions. To discourage American military involvement in either Germany’s war with Britain, or Japan’s unrelated war with China, the two nations and Italy sign the “Tripartite Pact”.
Japan, Germany, and Italy agree to assist one another with all political, economic and military means if one of the contracting nations is attacked by a nation at present not involved in the European War or in the Japanese-Chinese conflict. The hope is that this pact will keep America out of the war. Ironically, the defense pact will end up actually facilitating FDR’s scheme to draw America in.

OCTOBER, 1940
UK PROMISES ‘NEW WORLD ORDER’ TO JEWS AFTER WAR Germany is in total control of the European war situation. As they had during their losing days of World War I, British politicians reach out to international Jewry for help. During World War I, Britain’s ‘Balfour Declaration’ promised Palestine to the Jews in exchange for bringing about U.S. entry. Now, Lord Arthur Greenwood’s Declaration’ offers them a “New World Order”. Greenwood makes an amazingly prophetic statement, ‘When we have achieved victory, and we assuredly shall…” But there is no chance of British victory unless the U.S. can be dragged into the conflict. Therefore, Greenwood must already suspect that the U.S. will enter the war (which it does 14 months later). The promise of a ‘New World Order’ is clearly intended to further encourage American Jewish support for entering the war. Greenwood promises: “In the rebuilding of civilized society after the war, there should and will be a real opportunity for Jews everywhere to make a distinctive and constructive contribution.” In other words, Lord Greenwood is saying: “Get America in and we’ll give you a say in Europe’s affairs after the war!” Greenwood’s imperialist ‘dance with the Devil’ will prove fatal. After the war, Britain ends up broke and loses her Empire.
“….Arthur Greenwood member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a New World Order”
OCTOBER 28, 1940 ITALY INVADES GREECE
Italy had occupied tiny Albania in the spring of 1939. Mussolini now turns his ambitions towards Greece. Greece has good relations with Germany, but Mussolini wants to claim the Ionian Islands. Italy’s invasion of Greece is completely unrelated to Germany’s war and creates unexpected problems for Hitler. The Greeks repel the invasion. The British then offer to send troops to assist Greece. Churchill now has an opening on the European mainland from which he can move north towards Germany and eastward towards Romania and the crucial oil fields which supply Germany.

AFTER LYING ABOUT HIS INTENTIONS, FDR WINS RE-ELECTION OVER GLOBALIST STRAW-MAN WENDELL WILKIE
Throughout the Election year of 1940, nationalist Republicans warn that FDR is plotting to bring the US into war. Because the public is strongly opposed to entry in another war, FDR reassures voters that the “isolationists” are misrepresenting his intentions. During the campaign, FDR gives his famous “Again and again” speech: “I say to you mothers and fathers and I shall say it again and again and again. Your boys will not be sent into any foreign wars.”
The Globalist wing of the GOP (Republican Party) hijacks the nominating process and puts up an unknown patsy, an “ex-Democrat” named Wendell Willkie to run against FDR. Many Republicans are shocked when the GOP (supported by the media’s hype of Willkie) anoints a New York lawyer who has never held any office. Willkie runs a half-baked campaign and loses badly. FDR is elected to an unprecedented 3rd (and later a 4th) term. Afterwards, FDR gives Willkie a job as an Ambassador. In 1943, Willkie publishes a book entitled: One World.
NOVEMBER, 1940
THE VATICAN PRESENTS HITLER’S PEACE PROPOSALS TO BRITISH OFFICIALS
As far back May of 1939, as revealed by the front page of the New York Times, the Vatican had been trying to mediate between Britain and Germany. Hitler was ready and willing to talk peace at all times. It was the British who said “no”. The peace-seeking Vatican and peace-seeking Germany remained in contact as the war raged. The following excerpt from Martin Allen’s ‘Himmler’s Secret War’ describes a meeting held in Spain between the Papal Nuncio and British officials Hoare and Hilgarth; and the latest peace offer from Hitler: “The nature of the concessions that the German Fuhrer was prepared to make in order to obtain peace with Britain must have astounded the men at the head of SO1.
This was not even a deal worked out through a process of hard negotiation. It was Hitler’s opening gambit….an offer so generous and pragmatic that it would be very tempting to anyone who genuinely wanted peace. His (Hitler’s) offer of such remarkable concessions was an extremely threatening development. Should the terms become public, it had the potential to render British resolve to stand firm against German aggression to a shuttering halt.”
FEBRUARY, 1941
GERMANS ARRIVE IN AFRICA TO BAIL OUT THE ITALIANS The first units of the German ‘AfrikaKorps’ arrive to rescue the collapsing Italian war effort in February of 1941. General Erwin Rommel, known as the Desert Fox, commands the German force in North Africa. Rommel will eventually establish the upper hand in Africa, but this diversion of manpower and resources to Africa proves to be a costly hindrance for Germany.
MARCH, 1941
U.S. ZIONIST THEODORE KAUFMAN PUBLISHES ‘GERMANY MUST PERISH!’ / CALLS FOR EXTINCTION OF GERMAN RACE!
‘’Germany Must Perish!’ is a 104 page booklet published by an American Zionist businessman named Theodore Kaufman. Kaufman calls for the complete extermination of the German people through forced sterilization and total
dismemberment and reapportionment of German territory. The murderous hate- fest starts out in the very opening lines of Germany Must Perish as follows:
“This dynamic volume outlines a comprehensive plan for the extinction of the German nation and the total eradication from the earth, of all her people. Also contained herein is a map illustrating the possible territorial dissection of Germany and the apportionment of her lands.” Incredibly, at a time when America is supposedly “neutral”, the hateful book is actually reviewed by The New York Times, Time Magazine and the Washington Post. Though not widely distributed in America, Germany Must Perish is read throughout Germany. Propaganda Minister Dr. Josef Goebbels states: “Thanks to the Jew Kaufmann, we Germans know only too well what to expect in case of defeat.” ‘Germany Must Perish!’ will inspire the frightened German people to fight harder. Kaufman’s work, along with the deadly Jewish Partisan guerilla warfare against German troops, will contribute to Hitler’s decision to intern the Jews of occupied Europe into wartime work camps later in 1941.

FDR SIGNS ‘LEND – LEASE’ INTO LAW / UK TO BE SUPPLIED WITH U.S. MANUFACTURED ARMS
Britain is running short of arms and supplies as Germany continues to offer peace on terms favorable to Britain. Churchill will not listen to reason because, behind the scenes, FDR is reassuring him that the U.S. will support the UK at all costs. With his successful re-election campaign of 1940 out of the way, FDR now becomes even bolder in confronting the anti-war “isolationists”. The Lend-Lease program places the awesome industrial might of the US at the disposal of the UK, China, and later on, the USSR. America is to be “the Arsenal of Democracy” says FDR. Britain will eventually receive $31 Billion worth of war supplies (about $500 Billion at 2012 prices!)
APRIL 6, 1941
GERMANY BLOCKS BRITISH & SOVIET SCHEMES IN SOUTHERN EUROPE BY INVADING GREECE & YUGOSLAVIA Though unrelated to Germany’s war, Mussolini’s foolish adventure in Greece has already created a big problem for Hitler. As Italian forces meet stiff Greek resistance, Churchill uses the conflict as an opportunity to again establish armies on Europe’s mainland, in Europe’s “soft underbelly”. British troops begin arriving in Greece to help the Greeks in their fight against the Italians. Hitler offers to mediate peace between Italy and Greece, but the Greeks (egged on by the British) won’t come to the table as more British troops keep arriving. In March, 1941, Yugoslavia joins Hitler’s defensive Tripartite Pact. In response, British intelligence immediately triggers an orchestrated coup. The new Yugoslavian regime is now a British puppet state, which immediately signs a “Treaty of Friendship” with the USSR. Stalin’s Yugoslavian Communists take to the streets in support of the new government. Again, Hitler’s hand is forced. If he does not act now, the “soft underbelly” of Europe will be flooded with British troops destined for southern Germany, as well as the Romanian oil fields upon which Germany depends. On April 6, ’41, the Germans invade both Greece and Yugoslavia. The still small numbers of British troops are forced to evacuate, spoiling Churchill’s scheme to inflame southern Europe and invite the Soviets in to help. Naturally, the Globalist media simplistically portrays these events as: “Germans Invade Yugoslavia & Greece”.
MAY 10, 1941
RUDOLF HESS PARACHUTES INTO SCOTLAND WITH YET ANOTHER OFFER OF PEACE!
Rudolf Hess is Germany’s Number 2 in command and a close friend of Hitler. Recall that it was Hess who typed out the dictation for Hitler’s Mein Kampf. In May of 1941, Hess (who is fluent in English) flies a solo mission over Scotland and parachutes in, carrying an offer of peace. He is hoping to link up with the Duke of Hamilton, who he had befriended at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and convince his British acquaintance of Germany’s sincere desire for peace. But he is arrested instead. On Churchill’s orders, Hess is held in solitary confinement for the duration of the war. After the war, Hess is “tried” at Nuremberg and then sentenced to life in East Berlin’s Spandau prison. With the liberalization of the USSR in the 1980’s, there is talk of finally releasing him. But he is said to have committed suicide in his cell in 1987.
His family believes that the 93-year-old Hess was murdered so that the details of his peace mission would remain buried forever.
MAY – JULY, 1941
FDR ESCALATES HIS PROVOKATION OF GERMANY & JAPAN Long before the German-Polish conflict, FDR had waged a silent war against Germany. With Germany now in control of the European situation, FDR is even more desperate to drag America into Britain’s war. He relentlessly baits Hitler. To that end, the U.S. impounds German ships, sinks German subs, freezes German, Italian, and Japanese financial assets, assists the British Navy in spotting and sinking The Bismarck (killing 2200 German sailors), and ships large amounts of arms to Britain. Hitler bears the humiliating provocations quietly; knowing that US entry into the war would be disastrous for Germany. Realizing that Hitler will not take his bait, FDR further instigates the Japanese. Recall that the Axis Powers, (Germany, Japan, and Italy) are parties to a mutual defense pact (Tripartite Pact). An attack on one means war with all. FDR will turn the Tripartite Pact to his advantage.
JUNE 22, 1941
‘OPERATION BARBAROSSA’ / HITLER THWARTS STALIN’S PLAN TO CONQUER ALL OF EUROPE
As Germany and Britain exhaust each other in the air, at sea, and now North Africa, Stalin quietly gathers his massive Red Army along Germany’s eastern frontier, near the Romanian oil fields that supply Germany. Hitler knows that Stalin cannot be trusted. He recalls how Stalin broke a non-aggression pact and pounced on Poland while the Poles were pre-occupied with Germany. Another non-aggression pact was broken when Stalin attacked Finland. Soviet invasions of the Baltic States and eastern Romania, along with a recent Communist-backed coup in Yugoslavia all combine to offer still more proof that Stalin is up to something. Now, with Germany and Britain distracted, Stalin threatens all of Europe. Hitler had hoped to remove the Soviet threat in April, but invasion plans were delayed by Mussolini’s misadventures in Africa and Greece. When “Operation Barbarossa” is launched, the Red Army is caught flat-footed and bunched up in offensive positions. Millions of Soviet troops are taken prisoner, and the devastating loss of weaponry and equipment leaves the Red Army neutralized. Up to 65% of all Soviet tanks, field guns, .machine guns, and anti-tank guns are either destroyed or captured. The Germans rout the Reds all the way back to the gates of Moscow, liberating many cheering Ukrainian, Baltic, and even Russian people along the way. It is only the onset of the brutal Russian winter that forces the Germans to pause their stunning offensive. The 2 month delay due to Mussolini’s folly in Greece may have saved Stalin’s regime from a total collapse in 1941.
“Already in 1940 it became increasingly clear from month to month that the plans of the men in the Kremlin were aimed at the domination, and thus the destruction, of all of Europe. I have already told the nation of the build-up of Soviet military power in the East during a period when Germany had only a few divisions in the provinces bordering Soviet Russia. Only a blind person could fail to see that a military build-up of world-historical dimensions was being carried out. And this was not in order to protect something that was being threatened, but rather to attack that which seemed incapable of defense….. I may say this today: .If the wave of more than 20,000 tanks, hundreds of divisions, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, along with more than 10,000 airplanes, had not been kept from being set into motion against the Reich, all of Europe would have been lost.”
– Adolf Hitler, 12-11-1941
JUNE, 1941
FDR RESCUES STALIN / EXTENDS MASSIVE MILITARY AID With Stalin’s Evil Empire facing extinction at the hands of German forces, FDR moves quickly to rescue the murderous regime. He unfreezes Soviet assets that had been frozen after Stalin’s attack on Finland in 1939, enabling the Soviets to immediately purchase 59 Fighter aircraft. The “Arsenal of Democracy” is now, “The Arsenal of Communism.” By 1945, the staggering amount of Lend-Lease deliveries to Stalin include 11,000 aircraft, 4,000 bombers, 400,000 trucks, 12,000 tanks and combat vehicles, 32,000 motorcycles, 13,000 locomotives and railway cars, 8,000 anti-aircraft cannons, 135.000 sub-machine guns, 300,000 tons of explosives, 40,000 field radios, 400 radar systems, 400,000 metal cutting machine tools, several million tons of food, steel, other metals, oil and gasoline, chemicals etc. Without this ENORMOUS INFUSION of American aid, the Germans would probably have finished off Stalin after the spring thaw of 1942.
JUNE 29, 1941
STALIN ORDERS ‘PARTISAN’ GUERRILLA WAR UPON GERMAN WEHRMARCHT (ARMY) / JEWISH PARTISANS ALSO FORM
Stalin calls upon Party, Soviet, & Trade Union organizations to form “partisan divisions and diversion groups to pursue and destroy the invaders in a merciless struggle”.
In violation of commonly accepted rules of warfare, many Partisans neither wear uniforms, nor recognize international law. To grow the ranks of the Red Partisans, and prevent the Germans from winning over the civilian population, Soviet commandoes dress up in German uniforms and carry out “false-flag” atrocities against their own people, inciting hatred against the Germans. Communist and Jewish Partisans, aided by the OSS (forerunner to CIA), also form in other nations, using the same false-flag tactics, and menacing the safety of German troops unable to tell enemy from civilian. Massive Jewish support for and participation in non- uniformed Partisan groups, including women & children, is the main reason for Hitler’s decision to intern Europe’s Jews in work camps as a wartime security precaution.
THE SAD FATE OF THE VOLGA GERMANS
The Volga Germans are ethnic Germans living along the River Volga in southeastern Russia. Recruited as immigrants to Russia in the 18th century, they had always been allowed to maintain their German culture, language, and traditions.
After the German invasion in 1941, the Soviets consider the Volga Germans as potential collaborators. On August 28, 1941, Stalin dissolves the Volga-German Republic and orders the immediate relocation of ethnic Germans. About 400,000 Volga Germans are stripped of their land and houses; and transported eastward to Soviet Central Asia, and Siberia. By 1942, nearly all the able-bodied German population will have been conscripted to the NKVD slave-labor columns. At least one-third will not survive the camps.
THE GERMAN SOLDIER’s 10 COMMANDMENTS
The German soldier is the best behaved and honorable soldier of Europe. Every soldier receives a copy of ‘The German Soldier’s 10 Commandments and is expected to follow them to the letter or face serious punishment.
While fighting for victory the German soldier will observe the rules of chivalrous warfare. Cruelties and senseless destruction are below his standard.
Combatants will be in uniform or will wear specially introduced and clearly distinguishable badges. Fighting in plain clothes or without such badges is prohibited.
No enemy who has surrendered will be killed, including partisans and spies. They will be duly punished by courts.
P.O.W. will not be ill-treated or insulted. While arms, maps, and records are to be taken away from them, their personal belongings will not be touched.
Dum-Dum bullets are prohibited; also no other bullets may be transformed into Dum-Dum.
Red Cross Institutions are sacrosanct. Injured enemies are to be treated in a humane way. Medical personnel and army chaplains may not be hindered in the execution of their medical or clerical activities.
The civilian population is sacrosanct. Neither looting nor wanton destruction is permitted to the soldier. Landmarks of historical value or buildings serving religious purposes, art, science, or charity are to be especially respected.
Neutral territory will never be entered nor passed over by planes, nor shot at; it will not be the object of warlike activities of any kind.
If a German soldier is made a prisoner of war he will tell his name and rank if asked for it. Under no circumstances will he reveal to which unit he belongs, nor will he give any information about German military, political, and economic conditions.
Offenses of duty will be punished. Enemy offenses against the principles under 1 to 8 are to be reported. Reprisals are only permissible on order of higher commands. The only exception to these rules of conduct was in dealing with the murderous
Communist Partisans who refuse to recognize rules of warfare. For this reason, non- uniformed Partisan prisoners who refused to surrender were sometimes hanged or
shot as war criminals, not as legitimate POW’s.
LIFE IN THE GERMAN INTERNMENT CAMPS
Contrary to the popular belief that life in the SS-run internment camps was a brutal existence of slave labor followed by extermination, the German went to great lengths to keep the Jewish inmates well-fed, well-housed and even entertained. Officials from the International Red Cross visited the camps regularly and right up until the end of the war.
There were orchestras, soccer leagues and activities for children. There were weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, and even maternity wards for pregnant women. The Auschwitz camp even had a swimming pool and a general store! It was only during the final year of the war that conditions began to deteriorate as typhus epidemics spread and supplies diminished. Because of the contagious nature of typhus, the corpses were cremated, not buried near groundwater. The destruction of so much of Germany’s critical infrastructure contributed to the deaths. Nonetheless, as the camps were liberated, many healthy and seemingly well-fed ‘Holocaust survivors”, as well as some not so healthy, were seen and photographed.
1941
THE WAFFEN SS: VOLUNTEERS FROM ACROSS EUROPE JOIN INTERNATIONAL FORCE UNDER GERMAN COMMAND Brave men from every nation in Europe (and some from Asia) volunteer to fight the Soviets. They are welcomed into Germany’s “Waffen SS” – an elite fighting force. The anti-Communist Waffen SS are motivated by a vision of a greater European family. For the European SS, the Europe of jealousies, border disputes, and economic rivalries is petty. They fight for ‘Europa’ itself. The Waffen SS is a true international army of the European peoples. One million men fight in the SS, of which, 600,000 are non-German. Officers of the Waffen serve in the front lines alongside their men. By war’s end, half of the SS commanders will have been killed in action. During and after the brutal winter of 41-42, it is the Waffen SS who will stand their ground and delay the massive Soviet counter offensive.
By the end of the war, 40% of the Waffen SS will have been killed or gone missing. Were it not for the tenacity and sacrifice of the heroic Waffen volunteers, all of Europe would have been lost to the Soviet hordes. It is not surprising that to this day, the “SS” is still vilified in the Globalist press.
HITLER’S JEWISH SOLDIERS AND HIS FAVORITE JEWISH DOCTOR
Hitler was not fanatically anti-Jewish as much as he was anti-Marxist, although there was large overlap between the two groups. As hard as it may be to believe, it is absolutely true that about 60,000 half-Jewish, and 90,000 quarter-Jewish soldiers
fought for Hitler’s Germany.Among these were decorated soldiers, officers, and even Generals and Admirals. As Fuehrer, Hitler personally intervened to assist Dr. Eduard Bloch, the noble Jewish doctor who had treated his cancer stricken mother. Hitler had never forgotten Dr. Bloch’s kindness, and inquired about him when he returned to liberated Austria in 1938.
On Hitler’s orders, Bloch was given “special protection”. When interviewed by the OSS (CIA) towards the end of the war, Bloch spoke very well of the young Hitler that he had known.

JAPAN APPEALS TO U.S. FOR PEACE TALKS TO END THE WAR WITH CHINA
FDR could easily have mediated an end to the war in Asia; but chose to continue arming the Chinese.
SEPTEMBER 11, 1941
CHARLES LINDBERGH JR. ACCUSES FDR AND JEWS OF PLOTTING TO DRAG THE U.S. INTO THE WAR
American patriots such as famed aviator Charles Lindbergh Jr. clearly see that FDR is plotting to involve America in the war. Lindbergh is a leading figure in the “America First” movement, or what Globalist propaganda cleverly refers to as “isolationism.” Lindbergh’s speech in Iowa accurately describes what is happening behind the scenes.
He warns: “The leaders of the British and the Jewish races, for reasons which are as understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable from ours, for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in this war.” Joseph Kennedy, the US Ambassador to England and Patriarch of the Kennedy Family Dynasty, also expressed this opinion, though not publicly.
OCTOBER – NOVEMBER, 1941
FDR REPEATEDLY AND DELIBERATELY BAITS JAPAN In the closing months of 1941, FDR’s provocations of Japan escalate to the level of “acts of war”. FDR imposes devastating oil and trade embargoes on Japan, denies her ships access to the neutral Panama Canal, and orders U.S. battleships to undertake “pop up” cruises through Japanese territorial waters.
Finally, on November 26th of ’41, FDR sends an impossible ultimatum to Japan, implying a military threat, and demanding that Japan withdraw all of its troops from China and Indochina as a pre-condition for lifting the oil embargo. The day before the hostile letter was sent, Secretary of War Henry Stimson recorded, in his personal diary, the topic of a meeting with FDR as follows: “The question was how we should maneuver them (Japan) into the position of firing the first shot.”
NY Times: Giorgia Meloni Wins Voting in Italy, in Breakthrough for Europe’s Hard Right
BY JASON HOROWITZ
Mamma Mia! The screams of Bolshevik butt-hurt emanating from the press over the election of a “far right” female Prime Minister in Italy are reverberating throughout the hollowed heads of western Libtardia. From the opening paragraph of the Times’ Jason Horowitz whine-a-thon:
“Italy turned a page of European history on Sunday by electing a hard-right coalition led by Giorgia Meloni, whose long record of bashing the European Union, international bankers and migrants has sown concern about the nation’s reliability in the Western alliance. Ms. Meloni, the leader of the nationalist Brothers of Italy, a party descended from the remnants of fascism, had led a right-wing coalition to a majority in Parliament, defeating a fractured left.” (emphasis added)
Hmmm. No “hurrahs” for the 45-year-old Giorgia “breaking the glass ceiling” to become the first female Prime Ministerette of macho Italy? Come on now, Whorowitz. This is the type of “historic” fluff you girlie boys usually get all warm and tingly about, is it not? Youse guys had such a hard-on for “strong women” like Killary, the Frumpy Frau of Germany and that trans donkey down in New Zealand. How about a little love for the Italian babe?
1. “Hard right” — “fascist” — “far right” — male chauvinist pig Horrorshitz has nothing good to say about Giorgia Meloni and her coalition partners. // 2. Meloni: “When you no longer have roots, you are a slave. And when you are a slave, you serve the interests of Soros.” // 3. The Globalist Press has Giorgia on its mind.
Although the success of the “far right” in Sweden’s elections last week came as delightful news, it doesn’t compare to what just occurred in Italy for the simple reason that Italy is one of Europe’s largest states (pop: 60 million) and largest economies. If Italy “turns its back” (or even just turns sideways) on NATO and the EU, the whole house of NWO cards may topple in Europe — exactly as Q had — when the idea of such a thing seemed unimaginable — accurately forecast as far back as 2017. That being said, infertile, ageing, corrupted and factionalized Italy, like Sweden, still may not be salvageable domestically.
I support the idea of women as political leaders (why not). We should acknowledge this, in a democracy, the placing of softer female masks on the face of the big bad “far right” has certain strategic advantages. And as far as we can tell, Signora Meloni — mother of one out-of-wedlock child by her “significant other” — seems solid in both her political and social positions as she is passionate. Meloni’s political activism dates back to her student days and has been what (((they))) would describe as “fascist” — though she seems to have “moderated” (rolling eyes) in recent years.
We’ll let the lady speak for herself — and then you’ll understand why the likes of Mr. Whorowitz are horrified:
* Giorgia Meloni on God, Family & Country:
A question: “Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening? There is a single answer to all these questions. Because it defines us. Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be perfect consumer slaves.
They attack national identity, they attack religious identity. They attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can’t define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators — the perfect consumer.
That is the reason why we inspire so much fear. Because we do not want to be numbers. We will defend the value of the human being because every person has a unique genetic code that is unrepeatable… and like it or not, that is sacred.
We will defend God, country, and family. Those things that disgust people so much. We will do it to defend our freedom because we will never be slaves and simple consumers at the mercy of financial speculators. That is our mission. That is why I came here today.”
Tell it, Giorgia. Tell it! — Good Christian? well, marry the father of your daughter.
1. When the men are lacking, women must sometimes step up —Meloni with Le Pen of France — who may herself, in the near future, assume high office in France. // 2. If Italy exits the EU — or even just begins to ignore some its dictates — the cherished post WW2 project of the Globalists will, in essence, cease to exist in any meaningful way.
The Italian city of Bologna is set to launch a social credit score style system, dubbed the “smart citizen wallet.” Participating in the program is voluntary, for now.
According to Corriere di Bologna, users of the “smart citizen wallet” will receive “digital points” for “virtuous behavior,” like recycling. The points can be used for purchases and discounts.
“The citizen will [get rewards] if he recycles; if he uses public transport; if he manages [energy consumption] well; if he does not receive sanctions from the municipal authority; if he actively uses the Culture Card,” said councilor Massimo Bugani.
Bologna’s social credit score will differ from the one in China in two ways; it is voluntary and people will not be penalized for bad behavior. The municipality hopes that by treating the program like a reward card, adoption will increase.
“Obviously, no one will be forced to participate, and whoever wants to give consent can download and use a special application, but I believe there will be many to join,” Bugani continued. “We want citizens to understand that they are not losers but that their behavior is rewarded.”
The success of the Bologna social credit score program could have a significant impact on Italy and the EU and, if the government likes the results, the scheme could be broadened.
Japan tells a different story than the one spun by FDR and the Fake News — a story which (surprisingly) was printed once on page 2 of The New York Times on December 8, 1941, and has since disappeared into the black memory hole of forbidden history.
DECEMBER 7, 1941
PEARL HARBOR 80th ANNIVERSARY EDITORIAL
The Truth About the Pearl Harbor Attack
The Setting
1941: Globalist agents FDR and Churchill want desperately to drag the United States into World War II. This becomes all the more urgent after Hitler had launched “Operation Barbarossa” in June of the same year — a justified preemptive invasion of the Soviet Union which now threatens to overthrow Stalin and his evil Bolshevik regime in Moscow.
Knowing that American entry into the war would endanger Germany’s war efforts, Hitler ignores repeated U.S. provocations of Germany. To further discourage U.S. entry into the war, Germany, Italy, and Japan sign on to a mutual defense pact in September of 1940- The Tripartite Pact. War against one means war with all three.
Ironically, the Tripartite Pact will have the unintended effect of facilitating FDR’s treasonous scheme to embroil the U.S. into the conflict. As a “backdoor” to the European conflict (which Germany was winning) FDR and Churchill intensify their instigation of Japan. When the aggressive moves become too much for Japan to bear (oil embargo, closure of Panama Canal to Japanese shipping, U.S. battleships cruising through Japanese waters, direct assistance to the Chinese aggressors etc.) Japan decides to make its first direct move against the U.S. aggressor — by attacking Pearl Harbor (the U.S. naval base in the territory of Hawaii) on December 7, 1941 ….exactly as FDR had intended! As a result of the attack, the powerful pro-peace movement in America is silenced in an instant.
Lets remember that only the old obsolete warships were in Hawaii, the newer more powerful American warships were at Midway.
In the ensuing days, war declarations between the Tripartite allies and the US/UK alliance were exchanged.
Hitler and Goering meet with Japanese foreign minister.Japanese poster celebrates the DEFENSIVE Tripartite Pact.With his famous theatrical flair, the diabolical FDR, acting “surprised”, delivers his somber “Day of Infamy” speech to a confused and angry nation.Exactly as FDR and the gang of Communists, Globalists, and Jews surrounding him had intended, the attack immediately put the pro-peace Charles Lindbergh, the “America First Movement” and the “Mothers Movement” out of business. Hence forward, the millions of patriotic Americans who had urged peace prior to Pearl Harbor would be ridiculed by Fake News and Fake Historians as “isolationists.”Gullible young volunteers crowd military recruitment centers across America – 450,000 of these poor fools are destined to die in a war for International Jewry’s New World Order. The Five “Fighting Sullivan Brothers” volunteered after Pearl Harbor. They would ALL die when the USS Juneau was sunk in shark-infested waters on November, 1942 — murdered by FDR.
Japan tells a different story than the one spun by FDR and the Fake News — a story which (surprisingly) was printed once on page 2 of The New York Times on December 8, 1941, and has since disappeared into the black memory hole of forbidden history. But I’m pleased to bring you the actual text of Emperor Hirohito‘s War Declaration — a message which rings far truer than the lies of FDR and company.
TEXT OF HIROHITO’S WAR DECLARATION
By the grace of heaven, Emperor of Japan, seated on the throne occupied by the same dynasty from time immemorial, enjoin upon ye, our loyal and brave subjects:
We hereby declare war upon the United States of America and the British Empire. The men and officers of our Army and Navy shall do their utmost in prosecuting the war. Our public servants of various departments shall perform faithfully and diligently their respective duties; the entire nation with a united will shall mobilize their total strength so that nothing will miscarry in the attainment of our war aims.
To ensure the stability of East Asia, and to contribute to world peace is the farsighted policy which was formulated by our great illustrious Imperial Grandsire and our Great Imperial Sire succeeding him and which we lay constantly to heart. To cultivate friendship among nations and to enjoy prosperity in common with all nations, has always been the guiding principle of our Empire’s foreign policy. It has truly been unavoidable and far from our wishes that our Empire has been brought to cross swords with America and Britain. More than four years have passed since China, failing to comprehend the true intentions of our Empire, and recklessly courting trouble, disturbed the peace of East Asia and compelled our Empire to take up arms. Although there has been reestablished the National Government of China, with which Japan had effected neighborly intercourse and cooperation, the regime which has survived in Chungking, relying upon American and British protection, still continues its fratricidal opposition.
Eager for the realization of their inordinate ambition to dominate the Orient, both America and Britain, giving support to the Chungking regime, have aggravated the disturbances in East Asia. Moreover these two powers, inducing other countries to follow suit, increased military preparations on all sides of our Empire to challenge us. They have obstructed by every means our peaceful commerce and finally resorted to a direct severance of economic relations, menacing greatly the existence of our Empire.
Patiently have we waited and long have we endured, in the hope that our Government might retrieve the situation in peace. But our adversaries, showing not the least spirit of conciliation, have unduly delayed a settlement; and in the meantime they have intensified the economic and political pressure to compel our Empire to submission. This trend of affairs, would, if left unchecked, not only nullify our Empire’s efforts of many years for the sake of the stabilization of East Asia, but also endanger the very existence of our nation. The situation being such as it is, our Empire, for its existence and self defense has no other recourse but to appeal to arms and to crush every obstacle in its path.
The hallowed spirits of our Imperial Ancestors, guarding us from above, we rely upon the loyalty and courage of our subjects in the confident expectation that the task bequeathed by our forefathers will be carried forward, and that the sources of evil will be speedily eradicated, and an enduring peace be established in East Asia, preserving thereby the glory of our Empire.”
HARRY STIMSON
SECRETARY HARRY STIMSON’S CONFESSION
“We face the delicate question of the diplomatic fencing to be done so as to be sure Japan is put into the wrong and makes the first bad move. … The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot.” *** “When the news first came that Japan had attacked us my first feeling was of relief that … a crisis had come in a way which would unite all our people. This continued to be my dominant feeling in spite of the news of catastrophes which quickly developed.”
From the diary of Henry Stimson, FDR’s Secretary of War
A new report from Italy’s Higher Institute of Health provides an objective analysis of the nation’s misleading covid-19 death tally. Italy’s official covid death tally rose to 132,161 in October of 2021. This tally is unrealistic because covid-19 was diagnosed in haste and under conditions of financial bribery using non-specific diagnostic criteria.
Covid-19 was often listed as the cause of death when it was merely “suspected” and when “it could not be ruled out.”
After careful review of the medical reports, it turns out that respiratory infections may have been a contributing factor but did not cause most of these covid-19 deaths outright.
Various forms of medical malpractice, withheld treatment, inhumane isolation, undernourishment, and unethical standards of care are at the root of this worldwide medical crisis. The deaths are real, but the causes are skewed.
New Medical Analysis Reduces Italy’s Covid-19 Death Tally By 97.1%
A new analysis reduced Italy’s covid-19 death tally by 97.1 percent and provided a more accurate picture as to why these people died in the hospital. Only 3,783 cases could be directly correlated with a covid-19 diagnosis. Because the PCR test (that was designed to detect covid-19) was fraudulently-calibrated from the start, even these 3,783 cases of covid-19 are suspect.
Symptoms of respiratory infection could have been the result of any number of infections that kill people every year, whether that be influenza, tuberculosis, pneumonia or countless other lower and upper respiratory tract infections. Viral infections do not have the same effect on one person to the next due to several underlying factors including the cellular and microbiome terrain, so it is extremely difficult to accurately diagnose a specific respiratory infection and quantify viral load.
According to this new analysis, only 2.9% of the deaths registered since the end of February 2020 have been caused by the novel SARS coronavirus that has never been isolated from humans and replicated in human tissue samples. The annual respiratory infections, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, medical errors and other acute medical emergencies that usually cause overcrowding in hospitals were used as propaganda to terrorize and defraud the world into perpetual lock down.
The covid-19 death tally included Italians who suffered from one to five underlying chronic diseases; many were on immune suppressant drugs, and a certain percentage died from medical emergencies that are totally unrelated to covid-19. A total of 67.7% suffered from more than three chronic diseases that had not been resolved through modern medicine. Italians who were already suffering from chronic conditions went on to suffer further from ventilator-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated lung damage.
One in ten of the deceased patients had a stroke; 65.8% of the Italians had arterial hypertension and were on immune-suppressant drugs; 15.7% suffered from heart failure; 28% had ischemic heart disease; and 24.8% suffered from atrial fibrillation. At least 17.4% already had sick lungs. Many (29.3% had diabetes and other metabolic ailments) that drastically impacted their immune response.
There were several patients (16.3%) who were on their deathbed, struggling on immunosuppressant chemotherapy and radiation drugs known to make people susceptible to any respiratory infection.
These cancer patients had been dealing with cancer for the past five years, with an average three-to-five-year chemotherapy survival rate coming to a close. Another 23.5% were struggling with dementia, their life coming to a close.
Unethical, Inhumane Practices Have Been Implemented In Medical Systems Worldwide
Ever since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a worldwide pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, medical systems around the world have handled hospitalized patients differently. Patients with any sort of respiratory symptom were isolated and separated from family members.
“Out of an abundance of caution,” hospital systems made vague diagnoses, classifying anyone “suspected of covid” as an official case of SARS-CoV-2. These patients were viewed as highly contagious vectors of disease that should be isolated and put on mechanical ventilation.
Efficacious treatments were bypassed. People dying on ventilators were classified as covid deaths “when covid-19 could not be ruled out as the primary cause of their death.”
As terror and fear were propagated across the media, hospital systems put non-urgent, elective procedures on hold, suspending routine outpatient services that left many chronic patients without adequate medical care.
Industrialized nations like Italy did not implement at-home treatment plans and did not distribute nutraceuticals and prophylactics to help control respiratory disease in the population. This caused populations to be dependent on an already overcrowded system that is not set up to deal with panic, ignorance and helplessness.
As nations continue to put all their stock in retrovirus-contaminated influenza vaccines and experimental gene interference coronavirus vaccines, people continue to suffer and die, even as countless anti-viral, bronco-dilating, anti-inflammatory immune therapies exist.
An art exhibition in Cremona, Italy used city billboards to display paintings by artist Nicoletta Ceccoli who specializes in disturbing MKULTRA-themed imagery, complete with clear allusions to child abuse. Here’s a look at this horrific display of elite depravation.
Sprawling over 20 km (12.5 miles) and 40 billboards, an art exhibit turned the city of Cremona, Italy into a gigantic celebration of MKULTRA. Indeed, this year’s edition of Affiche, an “atypical exhibition” using city billboards to display art, featured paintings by Nicoletta Ceccoli – a famed artist who specializes in disturbing yet blatant images referring to Monarch programming. Of course, this subject matter comes with the obligatory references to child abuse, human trafficking, and satanic rituals.
Nicoletta Ceccoli is a prolific artist whose works were shown in prestigious collections throughout the world. She’s also illustrated children’s books and worked with a long list of corporations such as Random House, Mondadori, Simon and Shuster, Barefoot Books, Greem Press, Fabbri, Arka, Fatatrac, Europacorp, Macy, Diesel, Houghton Mifflin, Henry Holt, Mc Cann Lowe, United Airlines and Vogue.
The global elite loves Ceccoli’s work and is willing to reward her with generous contracts. Are these people bothered by the fact that nearly all of her paintings refer to the most horrific practice known to mankind? No. The symbolism relating to Monarch programming is actually part of their sick “culture”. They love to be surrounded by it and they want us to be surrounded by it as well.
The cover of the illustrated book “Resta Con Me” (Stay With Me) is pure Monarch symbolism. Sitting on a checkerboard pattern floor (the ritualistic surface of occult transformation), a girl dressed in red (the color of sacrifice) is surrounded by masks representing the alter-personas of an MK slave.
Nearly every painting made by this artist is replete with MK symbolism and all kinds of “codes” hinting to sadistic abuse. And, for some reason, Affiche 2020 selected these paintings to be plastered all over the city of Cremona.
Affiche 2020
On its official website, Affiche 2020 describes itself as follows:
Affiche is an atypical exhibition, set up in the spaces that are normally reserved for advertising or electoral posters. Affiche is an exhibition that expands throughout the city with a journey of about 20 kilometers. Every year the large-format artworks of a great international illustrator are shown and his images – usually published in magazines, newspapers and books – are presented directly to passers-by, whether they are strolling, or traveling by car or bicycle. The exhibition space is the city itself.
This year’s edition features 23 paintings by Ceccoli.

Here are some of the paintings put on display by Affiche 2020.
The painting titled Ingenue features a girl surround by monarch butterflies – a reference to Monarch programming. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a dress made of flowers while insects are pollinating them. This is about the “birds and the bees” talk given to children to explain sex. In other words, this painting is about the abuse of an MK slave by Monarch handlers.
This one is called Wicked Delights. A scary figure offers a phallic-shaped lollipop to a young girl. The red and white mushrooms on the ground indicate that the girl is probably being drugged. Indeed, fly agaric mushrooms (red with white dots) are known for their hallucinogenic properties.
This one is called Compagno Di Giochi which means “Playmate”. It is about an MK handler abusing a young girl on a dualistic floor. How can this clearly pedophilic “art” be celebrated?
This one is called L’Ora Del Diavolo (“Hour of the Devil”). It refers to the “Witching Hour”, that time at night where the invocation of the demons is the most potent (believed to be 3 AM). This painting is about MK slaves partaking in satanic rituals and invocations to further trauma and control.
This one is called Hide And Seek and it is 100% about Beta Kitten programming (used to create sex slaves). The girl wears feline prints (used to identify Beta slaves) and holds a feline mask which represents her Beta Kitten alter-persona. Furthermore, the mask is used to create a one-eye sign. To make things 100% obvious, the bird inside the cage indicates that this is all about MK slavery.
This painting represents the dissociation of MK slaves during abuse (described as a feeling of weightlessness). The painting’s name “You’ll Float Too” ominously alludes to the girl dissociating.
This is another painting representing a handler physically abusing a slave. The title Til the End indicates that she won’t come out of this alive.
This one is called Good Girls Go Bad. It represents the “corruption” of children after being forced into the satanic system of the elite. The one-eye sign formed by the mask seals the deal.
Other than being a pedophile’s fantasy, this painting represents the training of Beta Kitten slaves on a ritualistic floor.
This one represents the final outcome of many MK slaves: Human trafficking. This girl is “boxed” and sold as an object. On the box is written “Fully Jointed Soft Vinyl Skin”. Creepy.
Controversy
It doesn’t take an expert in symbolism to realize that there’s something terribly wrong with these paintings. And Cremona citizens immediately protested this exhibition. Here’s an excerpt from an Italian news article about the exhibit (free translation).
Cremona, the Affiche exhibition and the disturbing images of a horror childhood
A few days ago, the new edition of ‘Affiche’ was inaugurated, a controversial exhibition of illustrations in giant format, displayed in 43 public billboard spaces in the city of Cremona.
The images created by Nicoletta Ceccoli, an illustrator of children’s books, are about the world of childhood and are depicted in a disturbing way (to say the least): In a giant picture you can see a horror version of Alice in Wonderland cutting the throat of a rabbit, but this is nothing compared to the other illustrations that wink at child p*rn. In one, there is a pinocchio dominated in a “sado-maso” way by a girl who wields a whip, not to mention two other images in which, a train and a bunny enter the genitals of two girls.
The aggravating circumstance is that in fact, these are public billboards and the exhibition, organized by the cultural association “Tapirulant”, extends for 20 km in the city space and was inaugurated with a bike ride because among the sponsors there is also Bicincittà.
There is talk of “dream style” with regard to images, but nothing about these images appear to be vague or imaginative. To the contrary, the message is quite clear, to the point of raising the indignation and protests of various exponents of the center-right. In fact, the group advising the Premier Lega per Salvini has announced that a question will be presented on the matter.
The senator of the League Simone Pillon denounced this initiative which he called “cryptopedophilia” and pointed out in a Facebook post, that the “works” were displayed in front of schools. Furthermore, educational tours were organized with the city’s children.
Addressing the institutional representatives, he poses a simple but significant question to the mayor and the organizers: “Why so much fury against the innocence of children? What is your problem? ” In fact, we too ask ourselves how destabilizing it can be for children who have just passed the difficult test of forced isolation due to the pandemic, to approach with such a gloomy vision of childhood that it ceases to be the place of lightness and kingdom of a fantastic imaginary, to be tinged with the dark colors of violence and perversion.
It is necessary to ring the alarm in the face of what we do not hesitate to define as the first signs of a race towards a moral abyss of which we struggle to see even the bottom.
In Conclusion
I could spend all day posting paintings by this artist and explaining their obvious and disturbing meanings. Nearly everything she does is replete with the exact pattern of symbolism that’s been described on this site for years. Furthermore, it is absolutely impossible to make sense of her work without understanding the sick world of MK symbolism and its system of abuse and satanic rituals.
The fact that this artwork merely exists is disturbing enough. The fact that it is actually being celebrated and plastered across billboards is a complete travesty.
