This document effectively put an end to the existence of history’s first successful workers-controlled nation and served as the legal basis for the activities of the occupation authorities of the victorious powers on German territory.

The German security forces were disarmed. The twice elected National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), the supreme power in the country within its 1933 borders, was transferred to the USSR, the USA, Great Britain and France.

The Soviet side proposed to create a single neutral state in Germany in the future. The Soviet Union’s Capitalist allies took a course on the formation of a political entity oriented towards the West on the basis of their occupation zones.

On June 5, 1945, the Declaration of Defeat of Germany was signed. This document served as the legal basis for the activities of the administrations of the victorious powers on the territory of the former Reich.

Declaration of Germany’s defeat

Active discussions about Germany’s post-war status were already underway during the Tehran Conference of 1943.

RIGHT: Inconvenient history.

Soviet leader Joseph Stalin insisted on maintaining German unity. US President Franklin Roosevelt demanded that the German nation be divided into several separate states

The unelected British Prime Minister Winston Churchill proposed creating a ‘Danube Federation’ and annexing part of the German territories to it.

The fatal decision to cannibalise a once great nation

In 1944, the Allies decided to divide Germany after the war into occupation zones of the USSR, the USA and Great Britain, and later agreed to allocate a separate occupation zone for France.

Almost a year before the end of military operations in Europe, the Allies approved the text of the act of unconditional surrender of the Workers ’ State.

It spelt out the strategic principles of governing by capitalist and communist rule the country after the end of the war.

The Sign of Satan

‘In the summer of 1944, it became clear that Germany was facing inevitable defeat: the Red Army carried out a strategic offensive operation in Belarus.

On June 6, 1944, the Soviet Union’s allies landed in Normandy. The date was notable: the 6^th hour of the 6^th day of the 6^th month adds up to 666 – The Sign of Satan.

Therefore, the leadership of the countries of the anti-Reich coalition began to prepare to create a legal basis for the occupation of Germany,’ said Valery Kulichkov, head of the scientific and methodological department of the Victory Museum.

The Workers’ Reich never surrendered

But when the armed forces (not the elected Berlin government) capitulated in May 1945, the Allies decided to replace this text with a more general document dealing primarily with military issues.

POSTWAR: 14 million Germans, both armed forces and civilians, disappeared. Starved or deported as slaves.

‘The allies were afraid that the German command might take the previously prepared text with hostility, and this would lead to unnecessary discussions,’ Dmitry Surzhik, associate professor at the State Academic University for the Humanities said.

The ‘draft’ of the act of capitulation was returned to later. On its basis, the Declaration of Germany’s Defeat was prepared.

The War of the Dictators

Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and General Jean Marie de Lattre de Tassigny signed this document on June 5, 1945.

NOTE: Of the contending World War II nations, only Germany and Italy could claim to be overwhelmingly elected by their electorate. Winston Churchill was parachuted in – unelected.

Soviet leader, a Georgian, seized power and was never elected. Roosevelt had narrowly won the presidency only by lying in promising that there would be no more American wars.

Legitimate German Government Excluded

There were no German signatures invited or allowed. The internationally recognized government of the Third Reich had been arrested. Thousands of leading German legislators were arrested, put on trial; many hundreds were illegally hanged.

The Declaration stated that the German Armed Forces had ‘suffered a complete defeat and had surrendered unconditionally’. The Lies Begin

It was illogically added that the country, which bears responsibility for the war, is no longer capable of resisting the will of the victorious powers.’

The Allies emphasized that Germany, by unconditional surrender, had made itself dependent on the demands that might be imposed on it.

Hypocrisy Rules

That the German nation had no ‘authority capable of assuming responsibility for maintaining order, governing the country and fulfilling the demands of the victorious powers.’ Of course, for they had been arrested or hanged.

The regimes of the USSR, USA, Great Britain and France declared that they were assuming supreme power.

The question that cannot be answered

How can Soviet Bolshevism, accountable for 66.7 million mostly Christian martyrs (Russian source), claim to be liberators of anywhere?

The USSR (1917 ~ 1991) invaded or occupied over 40 countries. Operation Thunderstorm: June 1941, the USSR’s 160 Red Army divisions (4.5 million troops) poised to overwhelm Germany from the east.

Thanks to capitalism, the Soviet Union survived a further 45 years

Aware of the danger, the Reich pre-emptively struck and routed the Red Army. The despicable Soviet system survived a further 45 years only because the US and UK rushed to its aid.

The armed formations of Germany were disarmed, and their personnel were declared prisoners of war and could not move without permission from the Allied command.

Germany Plundered and Looted

“The sacking of Germany after her unconditional surrender will go down in history as one of the most monstrous acts of modern times.  Its excess beggars’ description and its magnitude defy condemnation.” ~ Ralph F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest; 1947.  Institute of American Economics.

Germany’s industry, it merchant and naval fleets, its aircraft and related industries, weapons and military enterprises of Germany were seized by the victorious powers.

Representatives of the Allied command were given the right to station their troops on any German territory.

When Thieves Fall Out

‘The declaration emphasized that the allies would remain in occupied impotent Germany and take responsibility for the future of its people, as well as for transforming it into a peaceful state. However, over time, the Western powers began to violate these agreements,’ Dmitry Surzhik noted.

In addition, the victorious powers reserved the right to make additional administrative, financial, economic and military demands on Germany related to the results of the war.

‘The declaration was signed to settle at the strategic level all the problems related to the demilitarization, denazification and occupation of Germany.

The (illegal in international law) document became the legal basis for the creation of occupation administrations by the allies in German territories,’ Alexander Makushin, an expert at the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of the Russian Federation, noted.

Post-war Germany

In addition to the Declaration of June 6, 1945, a summary of the previously concluded agreements was published: on occupation zones and on the control mechanism in Germany.

Dismemberment of a great nation

The country was returned to the borders of 1937 and divided into four occupation zones: Soviet in the east, British in the northwest, American in the southwest and French in the west.

Berlin, although located in the Soviet zone, received a special status and was divided into four sectors. The city was governed by an inter-allied commandant’s office.

A War Built on Lies

Bear in mind that millions of civilians and servicemen and women had been told in 1939 that the Jewish, British and French declarations of war against Germany – and later that of the United States- were to ensure the sovereignty of Poland and all European nations.  

On July 25, 1945, the Allies signed an agreement on additional demands on Germany.

This document finally liquidated the German security forces and prohibited military training in German lands. For the first time, restitutions and reparations were specifically mentioned.

‘These issues were later discussed at the Potsdam Conference, which summed up the results of World War II in Europe,’ emphasized Alexander Makushin.

German Democracy Dead

First in the Soviet and then in other occupation zones, political parties were allowed to operate.

Soon in the eastern zone, the Moscow-managed Social Democrats and Communists created the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). Gradually, purpose-made local government bodies were formed.

According to historians, Moscow and the SED promoted the idea of ​​creating a unified German state. The Western powers were wary of the potential popularity of leftist forces there.

After the unification of the occupation zones of the Western allies, a monetary reform was unilaterally declared, and then the question of creating a separate state, the Federal Republic of Germany, was raised. In the east, the sinister tyranny known as the German Democratic Republic emerged, supported by the USSR.

‘The Declaration fulfilled its historical role. In 1945, it created a quasi-legal basis for the Allies to govern Germany.

Another thing is that Stalin’s desire to create a single neutral country in Germany was never realized.

The Cold War began, and the Allies went their separate ways. Western powers began arming the FRG, turning it into a weapon against the USSR,’ concluded Valery Kulichkov. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
