INTRODUCTION

The execution in 1976 of British and American mercenaries in Angola for ‘war crimes’ has brought back to public attention this peculiar and disturbing subject. [1]
During the Angolan trial, the judges intervened at several points to restrain the defence counsel from putting its case too well. The court could not tolerate any evidence which might help the accused criminals, they said.

The British press whined hypocritically about this travesty of justice. Yet the simple-minded Angolans were only doing as their European mentors had taught them: the Angolan trial was virtually a carbon-copy of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremburg in 1946. All the ingredients were there: the pretence of justice, the restrictions on the defence, the presumption of guilt before the trial had even started, the supervision of an international tribunal, the hysterical accusations of prosecution witnesses etc., etc. It is easy for the press to complain about the standards of ‘justice’ in a backward and far-off land in darkest Africa. But it is not so easy for them to criticise a series of trials for which we were responsible, at least in part, and which have gone down in history and subsequent protocol agreements, as legal precedent.

We are subject to no such restrictions. In this short volume, we hope to examine as thoroughly and objectively as possible the vexed subject of the trials at Nuremburg, and in so doing make some contribution to a rational understanding of this aspect of recent history which has, along with other events, been grotesquely twisted by the enemies of truth. One such example is the allegation that six million Jews were gassed as part of an official extermination programme on the part of the German government of the Hitler era and which formed one of the major charges against the Nazi leaders at Nuremburg.

THE SCENE IS SET

In the United States,  the chorus of demands for the trial of the Nazi leaders developed mostly out of the hate mongering campaign operated by various official and semiofficial propaganda agencies. At the beginning of the war, the American people regarded the ordinary Germans as quite pleasant people who had been railroaded into the war by that tyrant Hitler. Such a corporate view would not tolerate Washington’s plans for a mass-murder of German civilians through day and night bombing raids. Nor would they accept the degradation and humiliation of the Germans after the Nazis’ defeat.

Early on in the war, the main protagonist of frenzied, anti-German hatred was Sir (later Lord) Robert Vansittart, [1] the British diplomatist. In a series of radio broadcasts of fantastic fury in 1941, Vansittart wove a paranoid picture of “German evil and viciousness” which stretched back two thousand years. He compared Germany to the shrike or butcher-bird, which preys on its weaker neighbours. President Roosevelt, whilst officially disassociating himself from Vansittart’s way-out hate-mongering, was sufficiently impressed with his approach that he sent tapes of Vansittart’s British radio hate speeches to William B. Donovan, [2] Co-ordinator of Information, and later chief of the OSS (the fore-runner of the CIA), to be used as American radio propaganda.

Vansittart’s hymn of hate against Germany was soon taken up and echoed on the other side of the Atlantic too. A writer by the name of Theodore N. Kaufman [3], in Germany Must Perish (Argyle Press, Newark, 1941) insisted that the Nazis were “merely mirrors reflecting the centuries-old inbred lust of the German nation for conquest and mass murder.” It was the “German people” who were “ responsible” for the war and hence “must be made to pay.” To rid the world of these “war-lusted souls” Kaufman advocated the “eugenic sterilisation” of 48 million Germans. By such a policy he estimated that “Germanism” could be extinguished in two generations. Meanwhile, German PoWs could,  after sterilisation, be placed in “labour battalions” while the Reich itself could be partitioned among its deserving neighbours. Kaufmann even illustrated his tract with a hand-drawn map, showing France stretching as far as Erfurt, Holland trebling its size to reach almost to the gates of Berlin, and Poland and Czechia (?) dividing what is now East Germany equally between them. All this was the more remarkable in that Kaufmann’s rant was written and published before the USA entered the war!

[Add. Image] Kaufmann’s map of a post war dismembered Germany

As the war progressed, the hate campaign was stepped up too, and the first official demands for bloody revenge started to be made. Early in 1943, the former US ambassador to Germany,  James W. Gerard, [4]urged that when the Allies conquered Germany they hang 10,000 Prussians as a starter. Joseph E. Davies [5], a confidant of Roosevelt’s and a former ambassador to the USSR,  said that the Germans should be treated like insane asylum inmates for two or three generations and, as if to justify his hate, confidently predicted that the Germans would begin using poison gas and bacteriological warfare very shortly. A New Jersey radio station ran a competition to select the best replacement word for ‘kindergarten’, because it was borrowed from the German language. A prominent judge and a newspaper publisher agreed to act as adjudicators.

But the greatest hate-generation source of all was the Writers’ War Board [6], a quasi-governmental agency set up early in the war by Roosevelt’s adviser Morgenthau [7]. Morgenthau selected as WWB director Rex Stout [8], an author of third-rate detective stories and other pot-boilers. Stout in turn hand-picked other writers of sensationalist, popular fiction to contribute their talents to the Board. Members received no compensation for their efforts, but the government paid for overheads such as secretarial staff and office expenses. The Board worked closely with the Office of War Information, the propaganda off-shoot of the OSS.

Two weeks after the Allies’ Casablanca conference, the Board swung into action with an article written by Stout in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, rather appropriately entitled “We Shall Hate or We Shall Fail”. [9] Stout asserted that four generations of German leaders had been guided by the “adoration of force as the only arbiter, and skulduggery as the supreme technique in human affairs.” Hatred of the Germans, he wrote, was necessary “to establish the world on a basis of peace.” Obviously the American public was not yet ready for such paranoia, for the editor of the Times was deluged with letters in opposition to Stout. Several church groups made official protests.

[Page 3]

Stout’s campaign was rabidly supported by Clifton Fadiman, [10] who at that time was the book review editor of the New Yorker weekly magazine. Fadiman, who was Stout’s right-hand man on the WWB, used his magazine position to promote more anti-German hatred. Fadiman noted that there was “only one way to make a German understand and that’s to kill them, and even then I think they don’t understand.” (original grammar).

The WWB also “advised” radio stations and even arranged programmes and wrote speeches. One of the Board’s most prominent front-men, Quentin Reynolds [11] the war correspondent and Collier’s magazine columnist, announced on the popular radio programme “America’s Town Meeting of the Air” [12] that hatred was a “healthy” emotion, and that the mental disease of Germany could not be cured — “you must kill.” On another edition of the same programme, on 30 September 1943, the British hate-monger Lord Vansittart was the principal guest, along with Richard M. Brickner, the author of a book Is Germany Incurable? [13] which the WWB was promoting. Bruckner, introduced as a “noted psychiatrist”, proposed the incarceration in institutions and labour battalions of large numbers of “paranoid-tending” Germans. They would be treated as “typhoid carriers”; their children would be taken away from them and placed in foster homes. Later in the war, the programme presented Louis Nizer, [14] the author of yet another book on What to Do with Germany, [15]  who proposed that death penalties should be demanded not only of about 5,000 high Nazi officials,  but also of 150,000 subordinates and civil servants. Every German officer above the rank of colonel, along with members of the Reichstag, and many others, would be tried. Hundreds of thousands of Germans would be given jail sentences ranging up to life, which they would serve in labour battalions. But this alone would not cure the German “lust for war”, he asserted. All heavy industry must be removed from Germany in order to prevent any ideas about a new war. On the same radio programme, Samuel Grafton, a syndicated columnist, also urged the permanent exiling or imprisonment without trial of at least 10,000 “members of the leading Nazi circles”.

Both “America’s Town Meeting of the Air” and its sister programme “America’s Forum of the Air” were heavily influenced by the WWB. Stout not only selected many of the speakers on programmes relating to Germany but was also able to influence the choice of subjects and titles. Some of this influence was wielded indirectly through a WWB offshoot, the Society for the Prevention of World War III, [16]  which preached even greater vindictiveness than its parent body. The Society was also controlled by Stout, and was financed privately by Robert Woods Bliss, [17] a former US ambassador to the Argentine; funds being channelled through the leftist Brookings Institute in Washington. Oddly, the Society’s main target in America was the Council for a Democratic Germany,  a group of anti-Nazi German refugees who hoped to restore democracy and reconstruct Germany as soon as possible. Stout made sure that the Council got little publicity, and publicly condemned efforts to “salvage Germany ”.

But the most amazing example of the WWB’s power was its ability to actually re-write history, in exactly the same way that Winston Smith used the “Memory Hole” at the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984. In order to promote the idea of German war guilt, it was necessary to overturn the historical verdict on World War I. Most historians conducting research into the origins of the first war had by that time concluded that exclusive blame could not be allocated to Germany or any participant. Their collective findings were reflected in the 1930 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, where an 8,000-word article on War Guilt elaborated on this view. First the WWB softened up public opinion for the project re-writing, with an article by Stout in the NYT Book Review. Stout complained, at some length, that those who “excused” the Germans of First World War guilt were “fatally deceiving their countrymen”. That the Times should give such prominent space to the dismissal of the collective conclusions of most, serious, historians, by a writer of cheap detective novels, is an indication of the power the WWB wielded. But there was more to come. The revisionist view of history first voiced by Stout was echoed and reechoed by innumerable government officials,  newspaper editors and media men: Germany had again become solely guilty of starting World War I; after all, they had started five wars in 80 years, hadn’t they? In its 1944 edition, the Encyclopaedia Britannica cut out the 8,000-word article, and substituted a brief note saying there was not sufficient space for adequate treatment of the subject of War Guilt. History had been re-written.

Although the WWB was officially restrained from making political attacks, the Board was still able to “draw attention to” certain points in its mail-outs. The Board regularly monitored the radio comments of independent broadcasters, and attempted to silence anyone who was too soft on Germany by putting pressure on the programmes’ sponsors. Commentators such as Fulton Lewis Jr. who were attacked in material mailed out by the Board, and who protested to the Office of War Information, were told that the Board was not a governmental agency and hence not under its control.

One of the best-known broadcasters who took the WWB’s hate- Germany line was Walter Winchell [18] (real name Isadore Lipschitz). Winchell’s views on Germany were expressed to millions of listeners in terms of “a rattlesnake never deserves another chance”.

July 1944 saw the appearance of an influential book Time For Decision, by the then recently-retired Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles. [19] Welles wrote that even at this late stage in the war, the Germans were already making plans for a third world war. The book was awarded a prominent review in the New York Times, the reviewer commenting that the obvious solution to this danger would be for Germany to be deprived of all its heavy industry, since “no one need fear an agricultural, small-crafts economy”. Naturally, the book also received heavy WWB promotion.

Films too were grist to the WWB mill. Hate films proliferated depicting shining American heroes pitted against brutal Nazis. When The North Star [20] showed German army doctors bleeding children to death to top up their blood-banks, Time magazine hailed the picture as the “most successful attempt to show a sickening German atrocity in credible terms.” Hollywood did not forget box office receipts either, and many of the hate films were heavily flavoured with sex, much of it of the sadomasochistic variety.

Academics and educators joined in the baying for German blood. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of the (Communist-infiltrated) Carnegie Endowment for “International Peace” and former president of Columbia University, said that when the war ended Germans could not be regarded as anything but convicted criminals. In a statement circulated by the WWB, he asserted that for a generation Germans could not be accepted as equal citizens of the post-war world. Several educationalists proposed that all Axis schoolteachers who had willingly stayed at their posts throughout the war should be discharged and “forever barred from teaching again”. But the most preposterous suggestion of all — from any source — came from an eminent anthropologist, Dr. Ernest A. Hooton of Harvard University. He proposed to dilute the German stock (and thereby “adulterate the Nazi strain”) by a process of outbreeding, i.e. miscegenation. This would be accomplished by sending Czechs, Austrians and others into Germany,  where they would settle and interbreed with the German people. Men of the German army would be kept out of their native land while the “outbreeding” was going on, probably by being put into forced labour in formerly occupied countries. (Astute readers will of course realise that this plan was eventually to involve ethnic groups much more exotic than the “Czechs” and “Austrians” and it was not only the Germans who would be made to suffer this dreadful fate, as the residents of towns and cities throughout Britain are only too aware.)

By January 1945, WWB material was being sent to 3,500 writers, 1,150 army information services, 2,600 industrial newspapers and 270 comic strip editors. Syndicated editorials were sent to 1,600 daily newspapers. Radio scripts went to 750 local radio stations.

The all-out effort to induce hate had worked. As the war ended, a packed meeting at Carnegie Hall (arranged by Stout’s Society) welcomed the demand by St Louis Post Despatch editor Joseph Pulitzer [21] that punishing the guilty would require the execution of approximately a million and a half Germans. The guilty, “with no differentiation as to their degree of guilt” should be shot.

[1] Robert Gilbert Vansittart, 1st Baron Vansittart GCB, GCMG, PC, MVO (25 June 1881 – 14 February 1957), known as Sir Robert Vansittart between 1929 and 1941, was a senior British diplomat in the period before and during the Second World War. He was Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister from 1928 to 1930 and Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office from 1930 to 1938 and later served as Chief Diplomatic Adviser to the British Government. He is best remembered for his opposition to Appeasement and his hardline stance towards Germany during and after the Second World War.

Strong opposition to Germany

Vansittart was also involved in intelligence work. He was opposed to the appeasement of German aggression. In 1940, Vansittart sued the American historian Harry Elmer Barnes for libel for an article Barnes had written in 1939 accusing Vansittart of plotting aggression against Germany in 1939. During the war, Vansittart became a prominent advocate of an extremely hard line with Germany. His earlier worries about Germany were reformulated into an argument that Germany was intrinsically militaristic and aggressive. In Black Record: Germans Past and Present (1941), Vansittart portrayed German history from the time of ancient Rome as a continuous record of aggression. Nazism was just the latest manifestation. Therefore, after Germany was defeated, it must be stripped of all military capacity, including its heavy industries.

[2] William Joseph (“Wild Bill”) Donovan (January 1, 1883 – February 8, 1959) of Irish descent, was a United States soldier, lawyer, intelligence officer and diplomat. Donovan is best remembered as the wartime head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency, during World War II. He is also known as the “Father of American Intelligence” and the “Father of Central Intelligence”.

After the war ended, Donovan reverted to his lifelong role as a lawyer to perform one last duty: he served as special assistant to chief prosecutor Telford Taylor at several trials following the main Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal in Germany.

[3] Theodore Newman Kaufman (Sometimes known as Theodore Nathan Kaufman, born 1910 in Manhattan, died October 1980 in East Orange, New Jersey) was a Jew who published “Germany Must Perish!” in 1941, which called for the genocide of Germans.

In 1939, Kaufmann was chairman of a shadowy group called the “American Federation for Peace”. He was reportedly friends with Roosevelt speech writer Sam Rosenman. The German press of the time misinterpreted this to mean Kaufman was an FDR adviser himself, which was not true.

Germany Must Perish

In late 1940, he began writing “Germany Must Perish”, the booklet he is most known for. It was published in early 1941, and inspired anger in Germany.

The open call for genocide in the tract is neither metaphorical not subtle, as he makes very clear:

“Since the fang’s poison and its deadly power rests not in the body but in the war psyche of the Germans, one can ensure the prosperity and security of mankind only by finally extinguishing this soul and the rotten body that houses it, removing it finally from the world. There is no other choice: Germany must perish!”

“Not only must there be no more German wars in fact, there must not even remain the slightest possibility of one ever again occurring. A final halt to German aggression, not a temporary cessation, must be the goal of the present struggle… [Germany] must be prepared to pay a Total Penalty. And there is one, and only one, such Total Penalty: Germany must perish forever! In fact  —  not in fancy.” ( — From “Germany Must Perish”, by T.N. Kaufman)

On 26. September 1941 Kaufman said in an interview he gave to The Canadian Jewish Chronicle:[6]

“I believe, that the Jews have a mission in life. They must see to it that the nations of the world get together in one vast federation. ‘Union Now’ is the beginning of this. Slowly but surely the world will develop into a paradise. We will have perpetual peace. And the Jews will do the most to bring about this confederation, because they have the most to gain. But how can you get peace if Germany exists? The only way to win an eternal peace is to make the punishment of waging war more horrible than war itself. Human beings are penalized for murder, aren’t they? Well, Germany starts all the wars of magnitude. Let us sterilize all Germans and wars of world domination will come to an end!”

Quote from Germany Must Perish:

GERMANY MUST PERISH! By word of science, as the best means of ridding the human race of its misfits: the degenerate, the insane, the hereditary criminal. Sterilization is not to be confused with castration. It is a safe and simple Operation, quite harmless and painless, neither mutilating nor unsexing the patient. Its effects are most often less distressing than vaccination and no more serious than a tooth extraction. Too, the Operation is extremely rapid requiring no more than ten minutes to complete. The patient may resume his work immediately afterwards.

Even in the case of the female the Operation, though taking longer to perform, is as safe and simple.

Performed thousands of times, no records indicate cases of complication or death. When one realizes that such health measures as vaccination and serum treatments are considered as direct benefits to the community, certainly sterilization of the German people cannot but be considered a great health measure promoted by humanity to immunize itself forever against the virus of Germanism. The population of Germany, excluding conquered and annexed territories, is about 70,000,000, almost equally divided between male and female. To achieve the purpose of German extinction it would be necessary to only …

[5] Joseph Edward Davies (November 29, 1876 – May 9, 1958) was an American lawyer and diplomat. He was appointed by President Wilson to be Commissioner of Corporations in 1912, and First Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission in 1915. He was the second Ambassador to represent the United States in the Soviet Union and U.S. Ambassador to Belgium and Luxembourg. From 1939 to 1941 Davies was Special assistant to Secretary of State Hull, in charge of War Emergency Problems and Policies. From 1942 through 1946 he was Chairman of President Roosevelt’s War Relief Control Board. Ambassador Davies was Special Advisor of President Harry Truman and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes with rank of Ambassador at the Potsdam Conference in 1945.

Within eight months of taking office, Roosevelt took steps to recognize the government of the Soviet Union – something refused by every prior president since the communist revolution.  While ordering the FBI to give the closest scrutiny to “comical” (according to Nisbet) German-American Bund in New York, Roosevelt ignored the myriad communists within his own administration.

Roosevelt was often warned:

Three ambassadors, William Bullitt, Admiral Standley, and Averill Harriman tried to warn him; so did such Russian experts as George Kennan, Loy Henderson, and Charles Bohlen.  To no avail. (P. 12)

…on one point, these men were agreed: The Soviet Union was not a fit ally for the United States and was America’s most dangerous enemy in the postwar world. (P. 13)

Roosevelt didn’t like the counsel of experts; instead he turned to “amateurs,” as Nisbet describes them:

Harry Hopkins, Joseph Davies, Admiral Leahy, General Marshall, [and] his Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins…. (P. 13)

Davies was named Ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1937.  Within weeks of his arrival, the entire professional diplomatic staff considered a group resignation in protest of Davies’ “invincible ignorance of Soviet history and Soviet barbarism.”

Within months of Davies’ arrival, he ordered the breakup of the Russian division and the scattering of its most complete library on Soviet history and life in the Soviet Union. (P. 16)

Upon Davies’ return to the United States, he published his book “Mission to Moscow,” impolitely referred to by some as “Submission to Moscow.”  The book was immediately made into a movie for the American audience. (P. 16)

Mission to Moscow is a book by the former U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Joseph E. Davies and a film based on it directed by Michael Curtiz in 1943. The 1941 book sold 700,000 copies.

The movie chronicles the experiences of the naive second American ambassador to the Soviet Union and was made in response to a request by Franklin D. Roosevelt. According to its own producer the film was “an expedient lie for political purposes”. It was later scrutinized by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Do you think Roosevelt didn’t realize he had a know-nothing ambassador to Moscow?

[6]  WRITERS’ WAR BOARD

Two days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., proposed organizing the nation’s writers as civilians “under arms” to promote the war effort. A month later, a group of prominent American authors formed the Writers’ War Board, a private association partially supported by government subsidy. The board coordinated more than 2,000 writers in diverse activities including slogans, poster contests, syndicated articles, poems, radio plays, dramatic skits, government publications, books, advertisements, and war propaganda.

In T’was a Famous Victory by Benjamin Colby (1974) – Chapter 11.

“Propaganda of the Writers War Board for a Carthaginian peace pervaded the entire field of communications. Its influence reached into editorial offices high and low, into the radio networks and into the movies. The board was a supplier and clearinghouse of hard-peace propaganda for editors, writers and broadcasters, arranging radio programs, providing speakers and ghost-writing magazine articles signed by prominent persons. It organized claques for hard-peace articles and books which it approved, while impugning the motives of writers who challenged its thesis and working assiduously to disparage their product. Organizations and individuals who proposed postwar reconstruction of Germany were attacked viciously. At the same time it sought constantly to promote trust in the aims of Soviet Russia. A large advisory council of well-known writers was set up as window dressing, but these knew little of what the actual operating group was doing.”

[7] Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (May 11, 1891 – February 6, 1967) was the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Morgenthau was born into a prominent Jewish family in New York City, the son of Henry Morgenthau Sr., a real estate mogul and diplomat, and Josephine Sykes.

In 1944, Morgenthau proposed the Morgenthau Plan for postwar Germany, calling for Germany to be dismembered, partitioned into separate independent states, stripped of all heavy industry and forced to return to a pre-Industrial Revolution agrarian economy. The Morgenthau plan is thought by a few to have been devised by Morgenthau’s deputy, Harry Dexter White, who was later accused of being a Soviet agent. At the Second Quebec Conference on September 16, 1944, Roosevelt and Morgenthau persuaded the initially very reluctant British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to agree to the Morganthau plan, likely using a $6 billion Lend Lease agreement to do so. Churchill chose however to narrow the scope of Morgenthau’s proposal by drafting a new version of the memorandum, which ended up being the version signed by the two leaders. The gist of the signed memorandum was:

“This programme for eliminating the war-making industries in the Ruhr and in the Saar is looking forward to converting Germany into a country primarily agricultural and pastoral in its character.”

[8] Rex Todhunter Stout (December 1, 1886 – October 27, 1975) was an American writer noted for his detective fiction. Stout is best known as the creator of the larger-than-life fictional detective Nero Wolfe, described by reviewer Will Cuppy as “that Falstaff” of detectives.

During World War II, he worked with the advocacy group Friends of Democracy, chaired the Writers’ War Board (a propaganda organization), and supported the embryonic United Nations. He lobbied for Franklin D. Roosevelt to accept a fourth term as President. He developed an extreme anti-German attitude and wrote a provocative essay, “We Shall Hate, or We Shall Fail”, which generated a flood of protests after its January 1943 publication in The New York Times. The attitude is expressed by Nero Wolfe in the 1942 novella “Not Quite Dead Enough”.

During the later part of the war and the post-war period he also led the Society for the Prevention of World War III which lobbied for a harsh peace for Germany. When the war ended, Stout became active in the United World Federalists.

[10] Clifton Paul “Kip” Fadiman (May 15, 1904 – June 20, 1999) was an American intellectual, author, editor, radio and television personality. Author of the book “Books are Weapons in the War of Ideas” (1942)

In early 1942 American book publishing executives were meeting to figure out how they could contribute to the war effort on an industry level resulting in book publishers, libraries, and book sellers coming together to form the Council on Books in Wartime (CBW). From its beginning, the CBW’s efforts worked with the coordination and support of the US government’s Office of War Information.

[11]  Quentin James Reynolds (April 11, 1902 – March 17, 1965) was a journalist and World War II war correspondent.

As associate editor at Collier’s Weekly from 1933 to 1945, Reynolds averaged twenty articles a year. He also published twenty-five books, including The Wounded Don’t Cry, London Diary, Dress Rehearsal, and Courtroom, a biography of lawyer Samuel Leibowitz. He also published an autobiography, By Quentin Reynolds.

[12] America’s Town Meeting of the Air was a public affairs discussion broadcast on radio from 1935 to 1956, mainly on the NBC Blue Network and its successor, ABC Radio. One of radio’s first talk shows, it began as a six-week experiment, and NBC itself didn’t expect much from it.

Broadcast live from New York City’s Town Hall, America’s Town Meeting of the Air debuted on Thursday May 30, 1935, and only 18 of NBC’s affiliates carried it. (“George V. Denny,” 1959) The topic for that first show was “Which Way America: Fascism, Communism, Socialism or Democracy?” (Overstreet, 15) The moderator was George V. Denny Jr., executive director of the League for Political Education, which produced the program. Denny moderated the program from 1935 to 1952 and had a major role in choosing weekly topics. Denny and the League wanted to create a program that would replicate the Town Meetings that were held in the early days of the United States. (“Boston Symphony,” 1936)

But during World War II, Denny repeatedly encountered what he had most sought to avoid: angry audience members who didn’t want to listen to other viewpoints and who wanted to criticize, rather than debate. Worse still, some audience members expressed isolationist and anti-Semitic views. Denny struggled to maintain the show’s openness and objectivity, but it became increasingly difficult to do so.

He published the Germanophobic hate booklet “What to Do with Germany?” (1944). He represented many celebrities in a variety of cases, among them Quentin Reynolds in his successful libel suit against columnist Westbrook Pegler, and the broadcaster John Henry Faulk against AWARE, a national organization that had labeled him a communist.

After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, he authored the foreword to the Warren Commission report that investigated JFK’s murder and the conspiracy theories that still surround it.

[16] The Society for the Prevention of World War III was an organization set up in the U.S. in 1944 during World War II that advocated a harsh peace for Germany in order to completely remove Germany as a future military threat.

The Organization was a spin-off of the Writers’ War Board, with both headed by (anti-German) novelist Rex Stout and the organization’s monthly publication mainly republishing material produced by the War Board.

It succeeded in hardening attitudes towards Germany both in the media and in the government, but by 1948 it had failed in its overall mission, with JCS 1067 rescinded and the Marshall Plan helping Germany, along with the rest of Europe, back on its feet.

[17] Robert Woods Bliss (5 August, 1875 – 19 April 1962) was an American diplomat, art collector, philanthropist, and one of the cofounders of the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection in Washington, D.C.

War service

Bliss returned to the State Department following the entry of the U.S. into World War II, as a consultant (1942–1943), special assistant to U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull (1944), and consultant to Secretary of State Edward Stettinius (1944–1945). Robert Bliss was instrumental in arranging for a series of important diplomatic meetings to take place at Dumbarton Oaks (see below) in the late summer and early fall of 1944. Known as the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, these meetings hosted delegations from China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The delegates deliberated over proposals for the establishment of an organization to maintain peace and security in the world, and their outcome was the United Nations Charter that was adopted in San Francisco in 1945. Bliss retired a second time from government work in November 1945.

[18] Walter Winchell (April 7, 1897 – February 20, 1972) was an American newspaper and radio gossip commentator.

Winchell, who was Jewish, was one of the first commentators in America to attack Adolf Hitler and American pro-fascist and pro-Nazi organizations such as the German-American Bund. He was a staunch supporter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal throughout the Depression era, and frequently served as the Roosevelt Administration’s mouthpiece in favor of interventionism as the European war crisis loomed in the late 1930s. Early on he denounced American isolationists as favoring appeasement of Hitler, and was explicit in his attacks on such prominent isolationists as Charles Lindbergh, whom he dubbed “The Lone Ostrich”, and Gerald L. K. Smith, who he denounced as “Gerald Lucifer KKKodfish Smith”.

The most controversial part of Winchell’s career were his attempts, especially after World War II, to destroy the careers of personal or political enemies. A favorite tactic was to accuse them of being communists or of sexual impropriety.

[20] The North Star (also known as Armored Attack in the US) is a 1943 war film produced by Samuel Goldwyn Productions and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures.

The film is about the resistance of Ukrainian villagers, through guerrilla tactics, against the German invaders of Ukraine. The film was an unabashedly pro-Soviet propaganda film at the height of the war.

In June 1941 Ukrainian villagers are living in peace. As the schools break up for vacation, a group of friends decide to travel to Kiev for a holiday. To their horror they find themselves attacked by German aircraft, part of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. Eventually their village itself is occupied by the Nazis. Meanwhile men and women take to the hills to form partisan militias.

The full brutality of the Nazis is revealed when a German doctor (Erich von Stroheim) uses the village children as a source of blood for transfusions into wounded German soldiers. Some children lose so much blood that they die. A famous Russian doctor (Walter Huston) discovers this and informs the partisans, who prepare to strike back. They launch a cavalry assault on the village to rescue the children.

[21] Joseph Pulitzer II (1885-1955) proprietor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, son of the Hungarian-American-Jewish newspaper proprietor Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911). Pulizter II’s mother, Kate Williamson Davis (1858-1927), was an Episcopalian. 1

Pulitzer II was among the delegation of journalists invited in the Spring of 1945 by General Eisenhower to tour the captured Nazi camps in Germany and witness the horrors of the Nazis themselves. Following his return to the States he spoke at the Society for the Prevention of World War III rally at Manhattan’s Carnegie Hall on May 22, 1945. His comments were reported in The New York Times the following day:

“After urging that the groups that he held responsible for the horrors (“General Staff, Gestapo, SS and Industrialists”) that he had witnessed should receive fair but speedy trials, and any who were found to be innocent should be acquitted, Mr. Pulizter declared that the rest “should be put out of this world with Army bullets through their heads.”

“It is difficult to get any accurate figures on the numbers involved,” Mr. Pulizter said. “The War Department for some reason has been reluctant to release information on the subject. But I estimate that somewhere between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 is a reasonable figure. Possibly 1,500,000 may be the final total.” 2

Pultizer II’s biographer Daniel W. Pfaff reveals that this wasn’t the first occasion that Pulizter had called for the mass slaughter of Germans. Pfaff writes that in an August 17, 1944 letter to the editor of the editorial page of his newspaper the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ralph Coghlan:

“he had said he was convinced that it would be necessary to execute large numbers of Germans “and then put the German people on parole and keep them on parole for at least one or probably two generations.” 3

In an December 26, 1944 letter Pultizer urged his editor Coghlan to take:

“the strongest, toughest, most remorseless attitude towards all Germans until the day arrives when they have had their German bestiality educated and whipped out of them. Economic opportunity for Germans in our own self-interest after the war, yes; but gentle, sentimental consideration in the meantime, no.” 4

INTRODUCTION

The execution in 1976 of British and American mercenaries in Angola for ‘war crimes’ has brought back to public attention this peculiar and disturbing subject. [1]
During the Angolan trial, the judges intervened at several points to restrain the defence counsel from putting its case too well. The court could not tolerate any evidence which might help the accused criminals, they said.

The British press whined hypocritically about this travesty of justice. Yet the simple-minded Angolans were only doing as their European mentors had taught them: the Angolan trial was virtually a carbon-copy of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremburg in 1946. All the ingredients were there: the pretence of justice, the restrictions on the defence, the presumption of guilt before the trial had even started, the supervision of an international tribunal, the hysterical accusations of prosecution witnesses etc., etc. It is easy for the press to complain about the standards of ‘justice’ in a backward and far-off land in darkest Africa. But it is not so easy for them to criticise a series of trials for which we were responsible, at least in part, and which have gone down in history and subsequent protocol agreements, as legal precedent.

We are subject to no such restrictions. In this short volume, we hope to examine as thoroughly and objectively as possible the vexed subject of the trials at Nuremburg, and in so doing make some contribution to a rational understanding of this aspect of recent history which has, along with other events, been grotesquely twisted by the enemies of truth. One such example is the allegation that six million Jews were gassed as part of an official extermination programme on the part of the German government of the Hitler era and which formed one of the major charges against the Nazi leaders at Nuremburg.

Footnotes

[1] In January 1976, a group of 100 mercenaries crossed over from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire) to Angola in order to support The National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) in their struggle against the Government of Angola.

Angola had achieved independence from Portugal in 1975 and at the time was being governed by the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). The MPLA was, not assured of governing Angola, as it was competing with the FNLA and National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) in what became known as the Angolan Civil War. The MPLA Government was substantially supported by the Soviet Union and received considerable support from them in the form of weapons, training as well as direct military assistance from the thousands of Cuban troops stationed in Angola. One of the reasons for this was that the MPLA was a left wing political organisation, while FNLA and UNITA, were anti-Communist.

This meant that during the height of the Cold War, the West supported the FNLA and UNITA. The goal of the mercenaries was the overthrow of a Communist supported government in Angola. Upon their arrival, the mercenaries set about conducting numerous raids and acts of sabotage against the Angolan people and the Government in Angola. The mercenary troupe and their FNLA allies were no match in material or training to the Soviet and Cuban soldiers and they were eventually cornered and 13 of the mercenaries, 10 British and three Americans were captured. After a trial, in Luanda, Angola, sentencing commenced on the 28 June 1976.

Three British mercenaries and an American were sentenced to death, with the remaining captured mercenaries were sentenced to between 16 and 30 years in jail. Those sentenced to death were Andrew McKenzie, John Barker, Costas Georgiou, and Daniel Gearhert. The sentence was carried out the very next day. George Banks, the man who recruited them in the United Kingdom, expressed no regret for his part in the events.

FACTS & FIGURES

The peak period for Nazi war crimes trials was the three years immediately after the war, although trials are still going on to this day.

Various nations dealt first of all with their own citizens, in a series of treason trials. Anton Mussert [1] was executed by the Dutch. Vidkun Quisling [2] was executed by the Norwegian government. William Joyce (“Lord Haw-Haw”) [3] was tried for treason by the British government, who were able to ‘prove’ that Joyce was British,  and therefore capable of committing treason, because he had at one stage forged a British passport. In fact, Joyce was born in America of Irish parents, and became a German citizen in 1939. He too was executed, but it was not until August 1976 that his remains were shipped back to Ireland for burial in the family grave at Galway — a rather belated recognition of the fact that Joyce was indeed an Irishman, after all. As a citizen of a neutral country there was no way Joyce could have committed treason against a foreign, belligerent country; Britain.

The Americans put on trial the famous poet, Ezra Pound, but a jury found him to be insane. The French executed thousands of ‘traitors’ during the anarchic days after the Liberation. Few of these received proper trials. We shall never know how many Russians were put to death by the Soviet Union, but a general outline of these atrocities is gradually coming to light today, thanks to the writings of Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and others.

Holland tried and executed Rauter. Czechoslovakia dealt similarly with K. H. Frank, Ludin and Wisliceny. Poland executed Biihler, Greiser, Stroop and Hoss. Yugoslavia officially executed Kasche and Lohr. But these ‘showtrials’ were only the tip of the iceberg. We shall never know how many were really put to death behind the Iron Curtain.

In Germany itself, 1,000 cases had been tried, involving about 3,500 German defendants, by March 1948.

21 of the leading Nazis were tried by an International Tribunal at Nuremburg. All the other trials were unilateral, i.e. they were run by one nation only, although on occasion there was representation by a second nation at the trial. At the Peleus trial, for example, there were Greek naval officers sitting on the British military tribunal because the SS Peleus had been a Greek ship.

The Americans managed to grab for themselves the prestige and satisfaction of trying the 199 ‘second string’ Nazi leaders in twelve subsequent trials, also held at Nuremburg. 38 were acquitted (but later faced de-nazification tribunals), 36 were given death sentences (18 of which were carried out), 23 were sentenced to life imprisonment, and 102 were given shorter sentences. Summaries of the trials were published in 1949 as a 15 volume set, although there is also a more complete 117 volume edition which is just a bound collection of the duplicated court transcripts. The documentary evidence at the American Military Tribunal

(AMT) is now lodged at the American Documentation Centre at Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC. Most of it is on microfilm, and members of the public can order reproductions therefrom. One of the members of the War Documentation Project, whose task it was to index the mountain of captured Nazi war records at Alexandria, was Raul Hilberg, [4] the famous ‘holocaust expert’. Hilberg was himself a refugee from Nazi Germany who fled to America, subsequently becoming a political scientist at the University of Vermont. His famous book, The Destruction of the European Jews is supposed to be the definitive work on the holocaust, but it has subsequently been shown to be highly dubious, thanks mainly to the work of Paul Rassinier.

The Americans also ran trials at Dachau, where 420 death sentences were handed down. The Dachau trials represented an all-time low in Western concepts of justice. Brutality, torture and cruelty were the order of the day. On trial were some of the staff of Mauthausen, Dachau, Flossenburg and Buchenwald concentration camps, as well as some German soldiers accused of murdering Americans captured at Malmady during the Ardennes counteroffensive.

In the British zone of occupation, 356 war crime trials were held involving more than 1,000 defendants. In charge of administering the trials was Sir Henry MacGeagh, who was head of the UK office of the United Nations War Crimes Commission. His legal advisor was Lord Russell of Liverpool, who died in 1975. The British military trials were held at Liineberg, Hamburg and in Italy. At Liineberg, Josef Kramer, Irme Grise and 43 others from the staffs of Belsen and Auschwitz were tried. Thirty of the accused were found guilty and eleven were sentenced to death by hanging. In the Zyklon B case, Bruno T’esch and two others were tried for supplying Zyklon B pesticide to the concentration camps administration. Tesch and one other were hanged. In the Natzweiler trial, Alphons Klein and five others were charged with killing four British women parachute commandos by injection. One of the accused was hanged and the rest received terms of imprisonment.

[Image] French War Crimes trials at Rastatt 

In the Peleus trial at Hamburg, the captain and four members of the crew of German U-boat 852 were charged with murdering the survivors of the cargo ship SS Peleus, which they had just sunk. Three were sentenced to death by firing squad, and the other two were sentenced to prison. The British also tried several German generals in Italy; at Rimini and Venice. General von Falkenhorst was tried for the murder of British commandos in Norway. The British trials were published, with many useful appendices, in a series by Wm. Hodge & Co. in 1948/9, under the editorship of Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, the Deputy British Chief Prosecutor at the original IMT trial. Manstein’s 1949 trial is described by his defence counsel, Reginald Paget in Manstein (Collins, 1951).

The French trials were held at Rastatt, and included that of Saar industrial magnate Hermann Rochling, whom the French had also tried in absentia after World War I. In 1953, they also attempted to try 21 SS men for the 1944 massacre at Oradour, when an entire village with its population were destroyed. When it turned out that 14 of the men were French men themselves, from Alsace, the trial became a political hot-potato. The Alsace government claimed that Alsatians were being victimised. In the middle of the trial, the law against ‘collective guilt’ was repealed, rendering the trial little more than an academic exercise. When the trial finished, two death sentences and various terms of imprisonment were handed down, but within days the government had granted the men amnesty. In disgust, the council of Oradour handed back the medals which had been awarded to the town.
By 1963, the total of war crime sentences was as follows:

Court . . . . . . . . . Total Sentences . . . . . . Death Sentences

IMT  . . . . . . . . . . . 21 (+1)*   . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 (+1)*

The bodies of the eleven Germans sentenced to death by the IMT were cremated at Dachau and the ashes sifted into the River Isar. The hundreds of others executed by the subsequent military tribunals are buried in prison graves at various places. There are 247 graves at Hamelin, 758 at Landsberg, and 14 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

[1] Anton Adriaan Mussert (11 May 1894, Werkendam, North Brabant – 7 May 1946) was one of the founders of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB) and its formal leader. As such, he was the most prominent national socialist in the Netherlands before and during World War II. During the war, he was able to keep this position, due to the support he received from the Germans. After the war, he was convicted and executed for high treason.

[2] Vidkun Quisling, (July 18, 1887 – October 24, 1945) was a Norwegian army officer and nationalist politician. He was Minister President in Norway from February 1942 to the end of World War II.

Quisling was the son of a Church of Norway pastor and genealogist Jon Lauritz Qvisling from Fyresdal, and both of his parents belonged to some of the oldest and most distinguished families of Telemark.

His early life was mixed and successful; he became the country’s best ever war academy cadet upon graduation in 1911, and achieved the rank of major in the Norwegian army. He worked with Fridtjof Nansen in the Soviet Union during the famine of the 1920s. For his services in looking after British interests after diplomatic relations were broken with the Bolshevik government, Great Britain awarded him the C.B.E. He later served as defense minister in the Agrarian governments 1931-1933.

The Nasjonal Samling party

On May 17, 1933, Norwegian Constitution Day, Quisling and lawyer Johan Bernhard Hjort formed Nasjonal Samling (“National Unity”), a Norwegian nationalist political party. Nasjonal Samling had an anti-democratic, leadership-based political structure, and Quisling was to be the party’s Fører (Norwegian: “leader”, equivalent of the German “Führer”). He was sometimes referred to as “the Hitler of Norway”.

The party went on to have modest successes; in the election of 1933, four months after the party was formed, it garnered 27,850 votes (approximately 2%), following support from the Norwegian Farmers’ Aid Association, with which Quisling had connections from his time as a member of the Agrarian government. However, as the party line changed from a religiously rooted one to a more pro-National Socialist and anti-Semitic policy from 1935 onward. Party membership fell to an estimated 2,000 members before the German invasion, but under the German occupation by 1945 some 45,000 Norwegians were members of the party.

On the 9th April 1940, one day before the planned British invasion, Germany invaded Norway, Operation Weserübung by air and sea.
The German plan was to capture King Haakon VII and the Nygaardsvold government, after which Quisling would be recognized as Prime Minister. On April 9, however, without waiting for recognition, Quisling announced in a radio broadcast that he had become the new Premier. Word came that King Haakon refused to recognize Quisling as leader of the government.

Later that same month he tried again to organize a government under Josef Terboven, who had been installed as Reichskommissar, reporting directly to Hitler. The relationship between Quisling and Terboven was tense, however, and Quisling was unable to find any prominent Norwegians who were willing to serve as ministers in his Cabinet. Terboven, presumably seeing an advantage in having a Norwegian in an apparent position of power, declared the monarchy to be abolished and named Quisling to the post of Minister President in 1942, a position the self-appointed Fører assumed on February 1.

Arrest and trial

Quisling stayed in power until he was arrested on May 9, 1945. He lived in a mansion on Bygdøy in Oslo that he called “Gimle”, after the place in Norse mythology where survivors of Ragnarok were to live.

In the course of the victor’s trials following the war, Quisling, along with two other Nasjonal Samling leaders, Albert Viljam Hagelin and Ragnar Skancke, was convicted of high treason and executed by firing squad at Akershus Fortress. The charges were based on his support of the German invasion in April 1940, his revocation of the mobilisation order, his encouragement of Norwegians to serve in the Norwegian SS division, and his assistance in the deportation of Jews.
Subsequently, these sentences have been controversial, as capital punishment was reintroduced by the government in exile at the end of the war, specifically in anticipation of the post-war trials.

Maria Vasilijevna, Quisling’s Russian widow, lived in Oslo until her death in 1980. They had no children.

Summary

Vidkun Quisling was neither a traitor, nor a carrierist. He was a Norwegian patriot, whose aim was, to keep Norway free from bolshevistic or liberal occupation. Today, in English language descriptions and dictionaries they use his name, often written lower case, as a symbol of a traitor, which is a coarse history falsification.
This usage began with Zionist shill Winston Churchill.

[3] William Joyce

Born: 24 April 1906, Brooklyn, New York City, United States

Died: 3 January 1946 (aged 39) Wandsworth Prison, London, England

Nationality: British (and Irish), American

Occupation: politician, writer, radio personality

Party: British Union of Fascists (1932-1937), National Socialist League (1937-1939)

William Brooke Joyce (April 24, 1906 – January 3, 1946), sometimes known by the name Lord Haw-Haw, was a politician, author and radio broadcaster, who was involved with the British Union of Fascists and later the National Socialist League. He was executed for treason by the Jewish occupied British government for defending his race during the Second World War. Joyce stated that Winston Churchill, was a servant:

“not of the British public, or of the British Empire, but of international Jewish finance. This charge must be preferred against a man who has so signally violated British tradition in the course of this war.”

Joyce was born at 1906 Herkimer Street in Brooklyn, New York City, to an English Protestant mother and an Irish Catholic father who had taken United States citizenship. A few years after his birth, the family returned to Galway, Ireland. He attended the Jesuit St Ignatius College (Galway) from 1915 to 1921. Unusually for Irish Roman Catholics, both William Joyce and his father were strongly Unionist. William Joyce later said that he aided the Black and Tans and became a target of the Irish Republican Army because of this.

Following a failed assassination attempt in 1921 (which only failed due to the 16-year old Joyce taking a different route home from school) he left for England where he would briefly attend King’s College School, Wimbledon for a foreign exchange, followed two years later by his family. William Joyce applied to Birkbeck College of the University of London and to enter the Officer Training Corps. At Birkbeck, Joyce developed an interest in fascism, and he joined the British Fascisti of Rotha Lintorn-Orman. In 1924, while stewarding a Conservative Party meeting, Joyce was attacked and received a deep razor slash that ran across his right cheek. It left a permanent scar which ran from the earlobe to the corner of the mouth. Joyce was convinced that his attackers were “Jewish communists”. It was an incident that had a marked bearing on his outlook.

British Union of Fascists

In 1932, Joyce joined the British Union of Fascists (BUF) under Sir Oswald Mosley, and swiftly became a leading speaker, praised for his power of oratory. The journalist and novelist Cecil Roberts described a speech given by Joyce:

“Thin, pale, intense, he had not been speaking many minutes before we were electrified by this man … so terrifying in its dynamic force, so vituperative, so vitriolic.”

In 1934, Joyce was promoted to the BUF’s director of propaganda and later appointed deputy leader. As well as being a gifted speaker, Joyce also gained the reputation of a savage brawler. Joyce’s violent rhetoric and willingness to physically confront anti-fascist elements head-on played no small part in further marginalizing the BUF. After the bloody debacle of the June 1934 Olympia rally, Joyce spearheaded the BUF’s policy shift from campaigning for economic revival through Corporatism to antisemitism. He was instrumental in changing the full name of the BUF to “British Union of Fascists and National Socialists” in 1936, and stood as a party candidate in the 1937 elections to London County Council. In 1936 Joyce lived for a year in Whitstable, where he owned a radio and electrical shop.

However, Joyce was sacked from his paid position when Mosley drastically reduced the BUF staff shortly after the elections, and Joyce went on to form a breakaway organisation, the National Socialist League. Unlike Joyce, Mosley was never a committed antisemite, preferring to exploit antisemitic sentiment only for political gain. After 1937, the party turned its focus away from antisemitism and towards activism opposing a war with National Socialist Germany. Although Joyce had been deputy leader of the BUF from 1933 and an effective fighter and orator, Mosley snubbed him in his autobiography and later denounced him as a traitor because of his wartime activities.

Lord Haw-Haw

In late August 1939, shortly before war was declared, Joyce and his wife Margaret fled to Germany. Joyce had been tipped off by an MI5 officer that the British authorities intended to detain him under Defence Regulation 18B. Joyce became a naturalised German in 1940.

In Berlin, Joyce could not find employment until a chance meeting with fellow Mosleyite sympathiser Dorothy Eckersley got him an audition at the Rundfunkhaus (radio centre). Despite having a heavy cold and almost losing his voice, he was recruited immediately for radio announcements and script writing at German radio’s English service.

The name “Lord Haw-Haw of Zeesen” was coined by the pseudonymous Daily Express radio critic Jonah Barrington in 1939, but this referred initially to Wolf Mitler, (or possibly Norman Baillie-Stewart). When Joyce became the best-known propaganda broadcaster, the nickname was transferred to him. Joyce’s broadcasts initially came from studios in Berlin, later transferring (due to heavy Allied bombing) to Luxembourg and finally to Apen near Hamburg, and were relayed over a network of German controlled radio stations that included Hamburg, Bremen, Luxembourg, Hilversum, Calais, Oslo and Zeesen. Joyce also broadcast on and wrote scripts for the German Büro Concordia organisation which ran several black propaganda stations (many of which pretended to broadcast illegally from within Britain).

Although listening to his broadcasts was officially discouraged (but not actually illegal), they became very popular with the British public. The German broadcasts always began with the announcer’s words “Germany calling, Germany calling, Germany calling” (because of a nasal drawl this sounded like: “Jairmany calling, Jairmany calling, Jairmany calling”). These broadcasts urged the British people to surrender, and were well known for their jeering, sarcastic and menacing tone.
Joyce recorded his final broadcast on April 30, 1945, during the Battle of Berlin. In an exhausted, possibly intoxicated voice, he chided Britain’s role in Germany’s imminent defeat and warned that the war would leave Britain poor and barren. (There are conflicting accounts as to whether this last programme was actually transmitted, even though a tape was found in the Radio Hamburg studios.) He signed off with a final defiant “Heil Hitler”.

Besides broadcasting, Joyce’s duties included distributing propaganda among British prisoners of war, whom he tried to recruit into the British Free Corps. He wrote a book, Twilight Over England, which was promoted by the German Ministry of Propaganda, a work that unfavourably compared the evils of Jewish-dominated capitalist Britain with the successes of National Socialist Germany. Adolf Hitler awarded Joyce the War Merit Cross (First and Second Class) for his broadcasts, although they never met in person.

Capture and trial

At the end of the war, Joyce was captured by British forces at Flensburg near the Germany-Denmark border. A Jewish soldier claimed to recognize his voice and during conversation with soldiers shot and wounded him. After which Joyce was arrested and taken back to Britain.

He was charged with high treason:

* William Joyce, on the 18th of September, 1939, and on other days between that day and the 29th of May, 1945, being a person owing allegiance to our Lord the King, and while a war was being carried on by the German Realm against our King, did traitorously adhere to the King’s enemies in Germany, by broadcasting propaganda.

 

* William Joyce, on the 26th of September, 1940, being a person who owed allegiance as in the other count, adhered to the King’s enemies by purporting to become naturalized as a subject of Germany.

 

* William Joyce, on the 18th of September, 1939, and on other days between that day and the 2nd of July, 1940, being a person owing allegiance to our Lord the King, and while a war was being carried on by the German Realm against our King, did traitorously adhere to the King’s enemies in Germany, by broadcasting propaganda.

A faux par given that the King of Britain was allied with international Jewry against his own race.

Execution

He went to his death unrepentant and defiant.

“In death as in life, I defy the Jews who caused this last war, and I defy the power of darkness which they represent. I warn the British people against the crushing imperialism of the Soviet Union. May Britain be great once again and the hour of the greatest danger in the West may the standard be raised from the dust, crowned with the words — you have conquered nevertheless. I am proud to die for my ideals and I am sorry for the sons of Britain who have died without knowing why.”

Joyce was executed on January 3, 1946, at Wandsworth Prison, aged 39. He was the second-to-last person to be hanged for a crime other than murder in the United Kingdom. (The last was Theodore Schurch who was executed for treachery the following day at Pentonville. In both cases the hangman was Albert Pierrepoint.)

Joyce’s family

The Crown considered trying his wife Margaret as well. It is not entirely clear why no trial took place. A straightforward explanation is that her nationality status was much more complex and a conviction thought unlikely. Some also consider a deal for clemency was made on her behalf, perhaps recorded in a secret memo. Margaret Joyce died in Soho in 1972.

William Joyce had two daughters by his first wife, Hazel, one of whom, Heather Iandolo, has spoken publicly of her father. Joyce was reinterred in 1976 at the New Cemetery in Bohermore, County Galway, Ireland.

Works

National Socialism Now (1937)

Twilight Over England

Quotes:

“To conclude this personal note, I, William Joyce, will merely say that I left England because I would not fight for Jewry against the Führer and National Socialism, and because I believe most ardently, as I do today, that victory and a perpetuation of the old system would be an incomparably greater evil for England than defeat coupled with a possibility of building something new, something really national, something truly socialist.”

 

“It is well to realize that Jewish finance is as bent on the enslavement of the British people as of the German. The military power of England, the spurious jingoism engendered by the Jewish need for military defenders and the sacrifices of the British military forces all play their part today. But in the event of British victory all this synthesized nationalism will be destroyed in a few months. The supreme fact of world politics today is that the Jews want no nationalism but their very own.”

 

“I hope and believe that when the flames of war have been traversed, the ordinary people of England will know their soul again and will seek in National Socialism to advance along the way of human progress with their brothers of German blood. That this hope and this belief shall not prove vain there are two guarantees; the greatness of Adolf Hitler and the greater glory of Almighty God.”

[4] Raul Hilberg (June 2, 1926 – August 4, 2007) was one of the main historians of the 6 million story. He was totally discredited at the 1985 Ernst Zündel trial (where Hilberg sought to send publisher Ernst Zündel to prison for printing the booklet Did Six Million Really Die?) by the revisionist Robert Faurisson and the lawyer Doug Christie as a paper-historian and liar.

Raul Hilberg’s main work is the book The Destruction of the European Jews. In this work, Hilberg falsely claimed that large numbers of Jews were gassed in homicidal gas chambers during WWII in National Socialist Germany. In the 1960 edition this book, Hilberg wrote about a Hitler-command to kill the Jews (he gave no sources for this allegation). Later, however, Hilberg stated that the alleged killing of the Jews was not planned in advance or organized centrally (i.e. that there was no Hitler-command), but that the alleged killing of the Jews was achieved by “an incredible mind reading” by German bureaucrats. Faurisson answered this, in his article “The victories of revisionism”, by writing: “If it is ‘incredible’ or unbelievable, why then should it be believed? Must one believe the unbelievable?”.

HOUSE OF ORWELL

By Joseph G, Stano

Liberty Bell — December 1997*

[Image] The doors of the Museum of Jewish Heritage opened on September 15, 1997 in Manhattan’s Battery Park in New York. [1]

The lavish, highly emotional reporting by the news media on the opening of a new Holocaust Museum in New York City stands as a classic example of Orwellian “doublethink,” defined by George Orwell as;

“… the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

In this case, while endlessly professing a passionate dedication to freedom of speech and freedom of the press, the whole of the news media has routinely censored any challenge to any part of that massive, undocumented, unproven, and in some cases scientifically impossible, collection of tall tales known as the Holocaust. Like the tyrannical “Party” in Orwell’s “1984”, the “Holocausters can ‘… make the laws of nature.’” And do it with the full support of the entire media.

[Image] George Orwell’s (real name, Eric Blair) classic dystopian novel, 1984.

It is a tactical blunder to build another Holocaust Museum at this late date, when the Holocaust as presented to the American people by the media has been long abandoned by some of its most ardent supporters. Even the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Israel has long abandoned the Holocaust that is fed to the American public daily — if not hourly — by the whole of the American media, A cowardly news media routinely censors well-documented history for “Hollywood History.”

[Image] Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Israel.

As with Orwell’s “Minitrue” (Ministry of Truth), the American news media’s “Memory Holes” are operating at full capacity. With each passing year there is an ever increasing amount of “not newsworthy” embarrassing truths to be shoved down media Memory Holes. Unfortunately, these truths keep on coming back up!

Some of the not newsworthy “unmentionables” that simply won’t stay down:

Way back in 1960 the Yad Vashem was forced to acknowledge that there were no “death camps” or “gas chambers” in all of Western Europe or all of the German Reich, since all of these camps had been open to inspection by scholars and scientists, and all of these camps were determined to have been “work camps.”

This presented several problems:

First of all, the United States executed more than 450 Germans:

“In the name of the United States and the American people.”

A great many of whom were executed for operating “Death Camps” and “Gas Chambers” in Western Europe and Germany — where they didn’t exist! To put it mildly, this is a rather dishonorable page to add to the history of a nation that professes to believe in justice.

Second problem: Five of the fabulous sex million had been parceled out to all the camps in Western Europe and Germany, with only one million allotted to camps behind the Iron Curtain in Poland.

Orwellian solution: Simply pick up’ the 5 million mythical victims and their mythical gas chambers and throw them over the Iron Curtain into Poland where nosey scholars and scientists aren’t allowed to go.

[Image – click to enlarge in new window] Map of camp locations.

Or, in Orwellian arithmetic: Five from six equals six! Overnight, Auschwitz went from “almost a million” to “four and a half million.” A rather astonishing fact that the whole of the American news media found “not newsworthy.” As would a declaration by the Holocausters that the world was flat and the moon was a green cheese.

George Owell called this Holocausters exercise;

“black-white,” of “the ability to impudently claim that black is white in contradiction of the plain facts.”

The news media’s response was perfect Orwellian “doublethink”:

A groveling, servile acceptance of;

“the mutability of the past and the denial of objective reality.”

Broken on the Holocaust wheel, for the news media 6 minus 5 was now 6.

When execution expert Fred Leuchter went to Poland — believing in the Holocaust — to examine the alleged “gas chambers,” he found them to be scientifically impossible. In fact, they were quite ridiculous. However, to be certain, he took 30 forensic samples at all the alleged “gas chambers.” An independent laboratory in Massachusetts tested these samples and confirmed his expert opinion that all the alleged “gas chambers” had never been “gas chambers.”

[Image] Fred Leuchter

Professional Holocausters, the ubiquitous Karsfelds, were outraged and demanded that the prestigious Krakow institute of Forensic Research in Poland repeat the same tests and prove Mr. Leuchter was wrong. The head of the institute led the team of scientists that took the samples from the same places as Leuchter and they got precisely the same results: no gas chambers! From the formerly loquacious and demanding Karsfelds: SILENCE!

Both sides of the “gas chambers” issue got precisely the same scientific results. If we were living in a free country where freedom of speech and freedom of the press abounds, the issue of “gas chambers” would have been settled. Our free press would have fearlessly informed the public of the truth. In George Orwell’s tyranny of “Oceania,” the truth would have been a “Thoughtcrime.” In our tyranny the truth is called “Anti-Semitic.” In both tyrannies the craven news media cowers in terror.

When forced to defend the ridiculous and impossible tales on file at the Yad Vashem, the director stated that of the 20,000 testimonies of “Holocaust survivors” that he had on file, at least half of them were “unreliable.” When pressed to define “unreliable,” he said they simply weren’t true. In trying to justify these tail tales, he said;

“these Jews wanted to be part of history so they invented tales or they repeated tales they had heard.”

Charming! These “unreliable” tales routinely appear in the news media as holy writ and they are part of the Holocaust courses taught in our schools. In Orwell’s “Oceania,” it’s citizenry was routinely indoctrinated with a daily “Two Minute Hate,” American kids get a full “One Hour Hate” in their schools, where they are taught to hate Germans based on outrageous lies that even the Yad Vashem has rejected.

We have executed people based on these “unreliable” tales and we expel elderly people based on these “unreliable” tales whose only crime might be serving their nation on the losing side of the Second World War, or fighting the efforts of the Soviet juggernaut to overrun Europe. More disgrace and dishonor for our unfortunate nation.

At long last, the Polish director of the Holocaust Museum at Auschwitz has admitted something scientists and scholars had known for many years: the infamous “gas chamber” shown the tourists at Auschwitz is a complete fraud. It was created out of an existing mortuary for all the Jewish tourists who were demanding to see a “gas chamber.”

The infamous Auschwitz “Death Camp” and all of its bizarre horrors specifically created for the tourist trade will end up as a kind of “Disneyland of the Doomed,” where Jewish tourists can wallow in pure Hollywood and call it history.

Recently, the Yad Vashem has tried to establish some credibility amongst historians who have finally worked up the courage to challenge all the many and varied tall tales and tourist exhibits. In a bold move — that only took fifty years — the Yad Vashem has disavowed all the tales of “human soap,” and “lamp shades,” and all the fantastic products allegedly manufactured out of Jews, In short, they obliterated a huge and profitable industry created by an army of amateur and professional Holocausters, Gone are the little bags of human fertilizer and the stuffing for mattresses. Gone are the infinite variety of human leather products sold to a gullible public. Like combat boots, belts, wallets, riding boots, purses, leather riding jodhpurs, cavalry: saddles and, lest we forget, driving gloves made for the SS out of Jewish babies who were skinned alive.

[Image] Display table at Buchenwald showing shrunken heads, lampshade made of human skin, etc., was part of the grand tour of the camp.

Remember, these tales were only limited by the imagination of the Jew who “wanted to be a part of history,” I say, let them be judged by the tales they created in the hate filled filth between their ears; Like Olga Lengyel of Five Chimneys of Auschwitz fame. Our charming Olga created an industry at Auschwitz where Jews were turned into … SAUSAGES!

[Image] Five Chimneys book and the author Olga Lengyel.

Former ‘New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who was instrumental in erecting New York’s very own house of Holocaust horrors for all the tourists, created an industry where the terrible Germans chopped off all the fingers of Jews and used them as electrical switches. Koch’s tale added, considerably, to his stature as one of the most silly and insufferable asses on the planet earth.

Not to worry, the body factories may be dead and buried at the Yad Vashem, but the industry is booming in the United States. It’s even a growth industry where new and more fantastic tales pop up daily. Koch may continue to flick his “finger switches” far into the future. I wonder if he can think up an industrial use for all the private parts that have obviously been removed from the entire American news media? Orwellian maxim: The heresy of all heresies in a tyranny is common sense. Ed “Fingers” Koch will never be a heretic.

The fall of the Soviet Union was a disaster for the Holocaust business. The Russians turned over to the International Red Cross all the German “Death Registers” they had seized in 1944 when they overran Auschwitz in 1944. The Germans, with typical German efficiency, had scrupulously documented all the deaths at Auschwitz. Not four and a half million. Not even one million. It was slightly over 74,000 in total. And that included everyone — even the German staff — who had died at Auschwitz.

For the Holocaust researcher it can be quite amusing. It seems the cruel and uncaring Germans recorded the name of every person who died at Auschwitz; the maiden name of the person’s mother — a necessity in identifying Jews having the same names; the town the person came from; the reason for the death and other pertinent information. An effort was even made to return the ashes of the deceased to his relatives. With the water table at Auschwitz approaching that of a bog, cremation was the only option. Jews have made much of cremation, a common practice in Germany, without explaining what the Germans were supposed to do with the dead when burial was impossible.

Recently carefully labeled boxes of human ashes were discovered at one of the crematoriums. I had a good laugh watching the professional Holocausters lying through their teeth and rather nervously professing absolute bewilderment as to why the Germans had so carefully preserved the ashes of some Jews. A perfect non sequitur and a perfect Orwellian denial of objective reality; “Doublethink.”

Simple justice demands that the Jews should be judged by the weight of the lies they have lumbered on the German people. The greater, the more vicious, the more vile the lie, the more loathsome the liar. I defy anyone to find a litany of more vile, vicious and sadistic lies in the pages of history.

At one time there were 19 slabs with raised letters in 19 languages telling of the more than 4 million victims that died at Auschwitz. Thanks to the efforts of the Polish Historical Society, the slabs at Auschwitz have now had this bit of “Hollywood History” chipped off them. A victory for historical truth in the Holocaust “numbers game.”

[Image] Original plaque at Auschwitz proclaiming 4 million toll.

The Holocaust “numbers game” has been truly remarkable, I’ve kept tabs on it over the past twenty years. Here are some of the claims by professional Holocausters of the number of Jews killed by the terrible Germans; Fifty million, 41 million, 36 million (Olgd Lengyel); 26 million, 25 million (Kurt Gerstein and Oswald Pohl, both under torture), 18 million, 12 million (Jew claim at the United Nations) and the ever popular 6 million.

It’s amusing to note that the cowardly and cringing American news media have been given permission by the Holocausters to refer to the “1.1” or “l.5” million victims at Auschwitz, “most of whom were Jews.” The 4.5 million has been dropped and no one in the entire American news media noticed the horrendous crash. Pure Orwelhan “Crimestop” as practiced by the American news media:

“The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.”

Indeed, it would have been a serious “Thought crime” and very “Anti-Semitic” of the news media to notice anything.

[Image] Newspaper reports on reduction of Auschwitz death toll.

The stampede is now on and a great many famous professional Holocausters are desperately trying to salvage something of their reputations by abandoning the fabulous 6 million for a number far below 1 million. Even if we believe the 1.1 or the 1.5 million figure imposed on the news media — the truth is far below that — it means that even the most dedicated of professional Holocausters now acknowledge that at least 3 million, half the Holocaust, never happened!

[Image] New plaque at Auschwitz proclaiming about 1.5 million toll.

For those who are not afraid to think, here are some rational numbers: The Holocausters have forever claimed that Jews represented 20 percent of all the prisoners in the Concentration Camps. Not true, it was never that high. But, just for the sake of argument, let’s use their numbers.

Jews claim 3 million survivors and 6 million deaths for a total of 9 million Jews in the camps. If the Jews constituted 20 percent of the prisoners in the camps, there must have been 45 million people in the camps! Ya gotta be kidding, that’s almost the pre-war population of Italy and greater than the pre-war population of France These are numbers that only a bloomin’ idiot could believe.

O.K let’s try it again: The Germans were signatories of the Geneva Convention, so the International Red Cross had access to and inspected ALL Concentration Camps throughout the war, I repeat, ALL THE CAMPS. And they didn’t see any policy of killing anyone. Nor did they see any “gas chambers.” According to the IRC the total number of deaths in the camps did not exceed 300,000. The Germans claimed the number of deaths at 250,000. With the fall of the Soviet Union the IRC was given access to the “Death Registers” that the Russians had seized when they overran the Concentration Camps; Having consulted, the Death Registers, the IRC revised the numbers of deaths in the camps down to 273,000.

[Image] An official death toll issued by the IRC, Arolsen, West Germany, dated 1979.

If we accept the 20 percent figure claimed by the Holocausters, not more than 55,000 Jews died in all the camps — NOT SIX MILLION!

Recently, the Holocausters forced the. IRC to confess that they didn’t report all the abuse of Jews in the camps for fear that the Germans might deny them access to the camps or even overrun Switzerland (Not very likely.)

[Image] Plaque at Auschwitz detailing the categories of prisoners.

For those who can still think, that means that at long last — the Holocausters have acknowledged the fact that the IRC had access to all the Concentration Camps during the war; had inspected all the camps during the war; and the IRC knew of the conditions that existed in all the camps during the war. In short, an acknowledgment of the expertise of the IRC on the subject of Concentration Camps.

By forcing the IRC to confess to a “moral failure” by not reporting any abuse of Jews in the camps, the Holocausters have no choice but to accept the IRC’s number of deaths in the camps at 273,000. Having certified the IRC as experts in the matter the Holocausters are stuck with their experts’ findings.

Or, as George (Orwell) would have put it:

“The heresy of all heresies in a tyranny is common sense.”

It’s little wonder that those who instruct the Holocaust in our schools and universities here in the United States stand basic scholarship on its head by absolutely refusing to defend, in a free and open debate, the course they are teaching. I know, I’ve challenged the boys in the Holocaust business and watched them disappear in a cloud of dust. Clearly a confirmation that they are teaching rubbish that can’t be defended.

The Holocaust is alleged to be history. How could it be? There are literally thousands of subjects: civilizations, nations, peoples, cultures and countless events that dedicated historians research, carefully document and turn into thick tomes. Only when these tomes are subjected to peer review, wherein every fact not proven is challenged and adequately defended, can these tomes be regarded as history.

This is not the exception, this is the norm. One cannot deny that every facet of science is routinely challenged and must be proven. Even the nebulous subject of religion is open to debate and there are those who will passionately defend the impossibilities of the “Garden of Eden,” Noah and his bobbing ark, and Jonah and his bloomin’ whale. In defense of the impossible, the British Flat Earth Society still fights on and they have even devised a rather sophisticated mathematical formula to prove the earth is fiat. A formula that has puzzled some scientists because it seems to work! In a free society where persons are allowed to think, one can question and challenge, defend and attack, absolutely everything and anything in a search for the truth. The non-debatable Holocaust stands quite alone as an aberration and cannot claim any authenticity whatsoever. Even the Flat Earth Society with their strange formula and their willingness to defend their case present more proof than the Holocausters case that can be challenged with simple arithmetic.

[Image] The Flat Earth Society’s logo.

This latest Holocaust Museum in New Yark City constitutes a frantic effort to substitute cement for substance in the Holocaust, as if one can successfully prop up outrageous lies with brick and mortar.

Even the best efforts of the American news media to censor the truth will ultimately fail and the American people will see the Holocaust for what it is: a monumental swindle lasting over fifty years, in which the Jews have profited politically, financially and even sadistically when our government punished, and even executed, hundreds of innocent people based on lies.

From the very outset the Holocaust was a swindle. Justification for the creation of a Jewish state was based on the Jewish contention that Jews could not live in safety anywhere in Europe after the nations of Europe permitted the Germans to establish “death camps” and “gas chambers” in every European state. That’s why 5 of the fabulous 6 million victims were originally spread across Western Europe to lumber guilt on western nations and prove a case for an independent Jewish state. The State of Israel was created on a foundation of lies and to profit from this is clearly a swindle. To swindle the world and gain a nation is clearly the greatest swindle in history.

One must take note of the fact that all systems of law around the globe share a common rejection of the retention of wealth or property gained by dishonest means. The members of the United Nations were all swindled when they created the State of Israel based on the lies of the Holocaust. All nations that voted to create the State of Israel now share the guilt of having taken lands from the unfortunate Palestinian people based on lies. Empirical reasoning dictates that if the U.N. had the power to “create” the State of Israel, the U.N, has the power to “un-create” the State of Israel.

The solution to all the problems in the Middle East requires nothing more than a U.N. vote to make Jerusalem an International City — as it should have been — and the return of all Palestinian lands to their rightful owners.

Of course, our craven, groveling politicians will probably veto justice for the Palestinian people at the U.N. until the crumbling House of Orwell comes crashing down under the weight of its outrageous lies.

When this Holocaust house of lies collapses, the Jews of the United States will earn the contempt and disgust of the American people for having prayed on their kindness and compassion for power and profit, while involving them in the punishment and even death of innocent persons.

The Jews will certainly earn the anger of the American people with the realization that generations of American children were taught hatred and bigotry in their schools for the sadistic pleasure of Jews. Lest the people forget, the American public will have all the tax supported Holocaust Museums across this nation as constant reminders of the greatest swindle in history.

I’m afraid the backlash will be awesome and it will encompass all Jews living in the United States and most nations around the globe. It’s ironic, Jews who have eagerly practiced the collective punishment of the German people for fun and profit for more than fifty years will now endure the collective punishment of the world.

The Holocaust was limited only by the imagination of those creating it, sustained by nothing more than the magic word “anti-Semitic” and the willingness of the whole of the American media to censor the truth. The backlash will certainly target the whole of the American media, lowering all media types even further — if that’s possible — in the eyes of the American people.

Footnotes

[1] The doors of the Museum of Jewish Heritage opened on September 15, 1997 in Manhattan’s Battery Park in New York. In 1981 the museum was only a recommendation by the Task Force on the Holocaust; sixteen years and $21.5 million later, the museum opened;

“to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the entire, broad tapestry of Jewish life over the past century — before, during and since the Holocaust.”

The Main Building

The main building of the museum is an impressive, 85 foot tall, granite, six-sided structure designed by Kevin Roche. The hexagonal shape of the building is to represent the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust as well as the six points of the Star of David.
