After the defeat of the Workers Reich on May 8, 1945, the armies of the British, Soviet and American empires plundered everything they could lay their hands on. Soviet plunder of the defeated Reich included the seizing of the German-built transatlantic liner SS Berlin III. This super liner, after providing German workers with affordable Mediterranean cruises, in July 1939 was converted into a hospital ship and later evacuated thousands of troops and civilians fleeing the rapacious Red Army.
Many of the woes suffered by the Western nations can be attributed to the woeful ignorance of the general population – especially those born after 1980.
A descendant of Italy’s Benito Mussolini is back in the European Parliament after ostensibly retiring from politics. Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of Italian statesman and social reformer dubbed ‘the father of fascism’ Benito Mussolini, is once again a member of the European Parliament (MEP). Alessandra was one of the eight replacements for Italian MEPs who have taken up seats in the national parliament, the Chamber of Deputies.
Raising their hands in the raised arm open hand peace salute, up to 10,000 Italians sang in praise of Benito Mussolini to mark 100 years since the beginning of his leadership of renaissance 1922-1945 Italy.
You asked for someone who had lived in Hitler’s Germany to tell you what it was like. Permit me, someone, who lived under the Swastika flag from 1935, when the Saar was reunited with Germany, to 1945, to give a short answer.
Little happened between the British and French declarations of war against Germany on September 3 1939 and Germany’s pre-emptive strike on France on 10 May 1940. The Reich occupied northern France to thwart the aims of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to open up a new Western Front.
Of the hundreds of epic escape stories that occurred during World War II, it is the banalest like The Great Escape that is turned into movies. It appears that only two, As Far as my Feet will Carry me and The One That Got Away (there were many) were made into movies.
On its release, Stevie Spielberg’s Band of Brothers movie came under fire and received numerous direct hits fired by credible critics. Still living British World War Two veterans and military historians supported the objections. Many of the lurid claims made in the movie were denounced as ‘a fantasy, a total travesty from beginning to end, a pack of lies and a vainglorious re-writing of history.’
Russian President Vladimir Putin is applauded as the redeemer of Russia. However, genuine historians are dismayed by Putin’s endorsement of the holocaust narrative which may be rooted in simple diplomacy as questioning the 6 million narratives is what Professor Faurisson described as ‘the poor man’s atom bomb.’
Germany is described by war victors’ propaganda as being a European pit bull terrier. The myth is that Germany is an aggressive territorially ambitious country never happy unless intent on war with her neighbours and bent on world domination.
