German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck came straight to the point; “People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war, or before an election.” Few people question government spin. During and after war palace historians re-cycle the winning side’s take on things.
FEBRUARY 14 marks the day when the City of Dresden and up to one million residents and refugees was in just two days fed into the Allied RAF and USAF incinerators. Inconvenient History, this internationally recognised war crime will stain the escutcheon of Britain, the United States and their sadistic air armies.
Historian-journalist Kevin Myers writing for the Irish Independent declared back in 2012 that ‘Everything people believed about Hitler’s intentions toward Britain was a myth created by Churchill.’
