MICHAEL WALSH HISTORIAN. We are conditioned by propaganda to applaud unelected wartime premier Winston Churchill, U.S. President Franklin D Roosevelt, many military figures and writers. 

Yet, had things turned out differently, England’s half-American wartime leader would be little more than a Lord Kitchener-like smudge in a schoolchild’s text book. 

Due to his corruption, a manic depressive with a fondness for cross-dressing and sexual debauchery, Churchill would likely have died in alcoholic obscurity during self-imposed exile in the U.S. 

Our thoughts then turn to Wall Street’s financed Bolshevik, dictator and ex-terrorist the dwarfish Joe Stalin.  It is doubtful he would have survived assassination attempts until he was finally poisoned in March 1953.

On the other hand, those now victims of character assassination would be national icons. Adolf Hitler would likely be revered throughout the world.  

Throughout what is now known as the Third World, there would be constant celebrations of the Reich after his having liberated their lands from Britain’s colonial empire?

No doubt, the liberated nations of Europe would embrace their own form of National Socialism or Fascism rather than the corrupted right-wing corporatism of their Spanish or Portuguese counterparts.

In Norway, monuments erected to Norwegian patriots Vidkun Quisling and Knut Hamsun. 

In Romania, there would be squares, parks and great highways named in honour of Romanian nationalist Christian Corneliu Codreanu. 

Throughout Ireland, no doubt avenues and squares would be named in tribute to Irish-American William Joyce.

People do not hate or love famous figures.  What they hate or love are falsifications artfully created by victors’ propaganda.  These caricatures bear no resemblance to those great figures of history. 

Very few people can hate Adolf Hitler as they simply do not know the man.

What they do hate is a mythical, almost Disney hate figure that artful propaganda makes him out to be.  Heroes Hang when Traitors Triumph will perhaps give a different perspective on former much-vilified foes.  

In the future, who knows, we shall indeed see squares, parks, avenues and galleries named in honour of Adolf Hitler, William Joyce, Romania’s Corneliu Codreanu, and T. E Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. 

How revered the writer and philosopher Knut Hamsun, and throughout Europe, Russia and Ukraine especially, the Norwegian patriot Vidkun Quisling.  Heroes Hang when Traitors Triumph will leave you better able to judge for yourself.   

HEROES HANG WHEN TRAITORS TRIUMPH

CHAPTER 1.   T. E. LAWRENCE AKA LAWRENCE OF ARABIA

New evidence strongly suggests that one of Britain’s greatest war adventurers was murdered by the British Secret Service. The legendary desert warrior, friend of the outstanding writer Henry Williamson and admirer of Adolf Hitler, previous to his murder, had stated his intention to join the British Union of Fascists.

If T. E. Lawrence and Henry Williamson were to oppose the war lobby’s intention to declare war on Germany, the pro-war lobby’s scheme to enter into war with trade competitor Germany might be derailed. 

CHAPTER 2.  WILLIAM JOYCE. HANGED FOR WORDS HE DIDN’T SAY

The academically brilliant Irish-American William Joyce was falsely dubbed ‘Lord Haw-Haw’.   The idealist it is claimed joined the Nazis.  During the war, it was said, he betrayed Britain.  The sobriquet Lord Haw-Haw was due to a mistake made by a Daily Express reporter.

Influential American LIFE magazine calculated that 50% of the English people listened to William Joyce’s opinions broadcast from Hamburg. 

The manager of East Riding Radio Relay Service complained; “We are inundated with requests for Lord Haw-Haw broadcasts, which we are not allowed to give.”  

Statesman David Lloyd George: “The Government ought to take notice of every word this man says.”    This is the story of an Irish-American who was to become a champion of British interests.

CHAPTER 3.  VIDKUN QUISLING. THE MARTYRDOM OF A VIKING

Unconvinced about the power of propaganda?  Norwegian statesman, Sir Vidkun Quisling, earned his British knighthood.  

An adventurer and close friend of polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, he worked with the International Red Cross in famine-struck Ukraine. 

With others, he is credited with saving the lives of millions of Eastern Europeans.  Throughout his life, especially during the failed Bolshevik attempt to subvert Norway, Vidkun Quisling showed rare courage. 

This and much more and yet his name has become synonymous with cowardice and treachery.  His story will inspire you.  It will also teach you to respect the power of propaganda.

CHAPTER 4.  CORNELIU CODREANU IRON GUARD LEGION

It was student protests that helped to extinguish the flames of Bolshevism in Eastern Europe. 

During the rise of the Reich, it was Leipzig students, not the NSDAP that inspired and initiated the mass burning of Marxist ideology, pornography and anti-German subversive literature.  Elsewhere in post-war Europe, student power helped topple governments. 

One such was Romania’s Corneliu Codreanu, fiery leader of the revolutionary Romanian Iron Guard. 

Had his aims been achieved, then Codreanu’s name in Romania today would be as revered as Kemal Ataturk’s is in Turkey.   Here is an inspiring account of a little-known saga of Central European revolution.

CHAPTER 5. KNUT HAMSUN THE WEST’S SOLZHENITSYN

In 1920, Knut Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.  Was it undeserved? 

Not according to Ernest Hemingway: “Hamsun taught me to write.”  The roll-call of iconic giants of literature, who revered Knut Hamsun, includes Isaac Bashevis Singer.

“The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun.” Franz Kafka, Leo Tolstoy, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse and many others of similar renown.

Thomas Mann described Knut Hamsun as, “A descendant of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche.”  

How then was it possible for palace historians and corrupted politicians to turn such an international giant into a pariah?  Read the inspiring story of Norway’s greatest son of literature.
