The controversy over the word “Nazi” rages on–as to whether it is a Jewish-invented epithet against the dignity of National-Socialism which should never be used,  or simply a shortened form that was coined and used by the National-Socialists themselves.  Carolyn uses examples to show that it is the latter, and also makes clear that “Nazi” has no relation at all to "Ashkenazi" Jews (the word said to have derived from Ashkenaz, a grandson of Noah in the Bible).

The 19th Century German Volkish Nationalism movement and how it culminated in the Third Reich is also looked at, including some of the “misunderstandings” of its aims.

Anglo-German Naval Agreement of June 18, 1935

Published by carolyn on Sat, 2013-06-15 18:50

The great battleship Bismarck was launched on Feb. 14, 1939 at Hamburg.

Adolf Hitler proclaimed June 18, 1935 the happiest day of his life. It was because the naval agreement his government sought with Great Britain, the A.G.N.A., was signed. Hitler saw it as the beginning of an alliance between the two nations against France and the Soviet Union—the beginning of the partnership that he was seeking between the “leading” nations of Europe: Germany and England. These two, Great Britain by sea and Germany by land armies, would share the burden of defending Europe from all enemies.

It also released Germany from the Treaty of Versailles in the area of naval rearmament. Under the 1919 treaty, Germany was allowed no submarines, no naval aviation, and no battleships. The total naval forces allowed to the Germans were six each heavy and light cruisers, 12 each destroyers and torpedo boats. 

Germany had continued through the years to protest these restrictions, demanding that either all of Europe disarm down to German levels, or Germany be allowed to rearm to their level. Every German government of the Weimar Republic , preceding Hitler's Third Reich, had been implacably opposed to the terms of Versailles; the British were well aware that the terms were unjust, unstable and indefensible. It was France that always vetoed any relaxation.

The Heretics' Hour: How Politics Affects Revisionism

Carolyn finally discusses her May 25th response to Kevin Barrett that appeared on carolynyeager.net.  She ties this in with a thread on the Codoh Forum begun on May 23rd by Nick Kollerstrom praising Jim Fetzer and Barrett as the “finest members of the Truth movement” and that Fetzer had become a Holo-Revisionist. The point of it all is:

  • When it comes to revisionism, politics trumps science every time;
  • All revision has to fit in with the current dominant political philosophy, and right now that is Left;
  • Does a leftist like Jim Fetzer “coming out” help or hinder (in the long run) the revisionist cause;
  • Kevin Barrett calls NPR (National Public Radio) National-Socialist Public Radio;
  • Barrett won’t accept historians consensus that Hitler did not burn down the Reichstag;
  • Revisionist techniques according to Wikipedia are really anti-revisionist techniques;
  • Holocausters are now worried about relativization and trivialization, and sympathy for Germans who were expelled from their Eastern European homelands.

Hitler tea-kettle confirms "most recognizable face in the world"

Published by carolyn on Wed, 2013-05-29 12:59

According to a story in today's Time magazine, a tea kettle sold by J.C. Penney Co. has been recognized by the American shopping public  as resembling Adolf Hitler.

Over the past weekend, a user on Reddit social news site made the connection to Hitler, and by Tuesday afternoon the kettle was sold out on JC Penney's online sales site. As of this morning, the kettle had been completely removed from the site, plus a billboard advertisement for it near Culver City, California had been taken down.

What is of most interest to me is that the Hitler-hairline-shaped handle and perfectly-placed knob on the lid of the tea kettle make an image almost identical to the image I used for the April 20, 2013 "Hitler's Birthday" show on The White Network's "Saturday Afternoon with Carolyn" program. (image shown at right).

I wrote at that time, "When all is taken into consideration, it’s clear that the German Führer is, at the very least, the single best-known historical personality in the world today.  I would say that’s quite a success story."

I also wrote that this image was "An example of Hitler's amazing recognizability from only two simple shapes, demonstrating he has penetrated the consciousness of the entire world population."

It is irrefutably so. The JC Penney tea kettle episode proves it!

Bicycle Adventures of an Austrian Teen - Part Two

From Leopold Wenger's Trip Diary

The Great Ride to Nuremberg
for the N-S Party Convention of 1937

Translated from the German by Wilfried Heink

Day one - passing the Dachstein mountains on the way to Schladming.


Sunday, August 29, 1937. My buddy Franz and I left Leoben at 6am. When passing the train station I suddenly discovered that I had left my canteen, full of tea, at home. I had no choice but to turn back.

We then continued. It was still cold, and also foggy; our clothes were soon damp. But the fog lifted and at Mauten we stopped for breakfast. Then a headwind picked up, making travel up the Schober Pass difficult. At the top we stopped at a farm to drink some milk; Franz encountered a little mishap but at 11:30 we arrived in Trieben. We did not stop, passed the Wörschach airport and at noon we were already passed Steinach. We rode through an open forest; later in open country with the sun beating down and stopped at an Inn in Diemlern for lunch. The ride from then on was boring, up to Gröbming when I noticed that the houses were different, almost flat roofs with boulders on them. We had climbed quite a ways up and now traveled downhill, the road condition changing. Passing Haus, we had our first glimpse of the Dachstein, with the peak hidden in clouds. At 4pm we arrived in Schladming; the town was celebrating the completion of a new church tower and we had problems getting through the crowds. Uphill from there, and at 4:30 we passed the border between Styria and Salzburg. We already had the Mandling pass behind us.

In half an hour we made it to Radstatt, having to push our bikes up a hill along the way. We looked for the hostel, found it outside the town and registered at 5:30. The pool was a welcome addition and in the evening a youth from Vienna joined us.

The Heretics' Hour: Comparing the German and Japanese surrender to the Allies

FM Wilhelm Keitel, Chief of Army (center) with Chief of the Luftwaffe Stumpff (left), Admiral Friedenberg of the Kriegsmarine (right) are forced by Eisenhower's threats to surrender to the Soviet Union on May 8, 1945 in Berlin-Karlhorst.

Why didn’t Hitler address the German nation considering its defeat as the Emperor Hirohito did in Japan? Why was Hirohito allowed to live and continue his reign, while Hitler and his party had to be eradicated totally? Why was Japan allowed to keep its industrial capacity and participate in world trade, but Germany not. One reason is the difference between Dwight David Eisenhower (the terrible "Swedish Jew") and Douglas MacArthur.

Carolyn also looks at the continuing media attention to the  “problem” of antisemitism and what to do about it. Friday, April 26 is the 100th anniversary of the rape/murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan by the Jew Leo Frank in Atlanta, Ga. The Anti-Defamation League was created 100 years ago to defend Frank and has been doing its best to prevent justice for Jews ever since.

Adolf Hitler’s 124th birthday is celebrated with proof of his amazing popularity and face-name recognition. Examples of oratory by himself and by others praising him is read and commented on. Carolyn also brings up some news stories showing the abject fear exhibited by the enemies of mankind whenever a positive feeling toward Hitler might in some way be exposed by their institutions or media.

When all is taken into consideration, it’s clear that the German Führer is, at the very least, the single best-known historical personality in the world today.  I would say that’s quite a success story.

Hadding Scott returns to guest-host The Heretics’ Hour again with some thought-provoking subject matter.

It is often said that Hitler’s big mistake was invading Russia. Why did he do it? For Lebensraum? For resources? It turns out that neither of these traditional explanations is correct. In the second hour: are the Negro’s present difficulties in American society a legacy of slavery?

German Christians celebrate Luthertag (Martin Luther Day) in Berlin in 1933; Bishop Hossenfelder speaks.

"A Fighting Christianity," with Carolyn Yeager substituting for Bill Finck on Christogenea Saturday on November 12, 2011, is too good to be forgotten back in the archives. It is about an hour and a half.

Carolyn shares her research on the Christian beliefs found in National Socialism, and the many interesting figures who were involved - sometimes in squabbles. This German Christianity was racial and national, not universalist.

Hitler said in Berlin in 1933, maybe at the event pictured above: We were convinced that the people needs and requres this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations - we have stamped it out.

Willy Wenger's Family Chronicle

Published by carolyn on Wed, 2013-04-03 09:49

The following is the continuation of the family history written by Willy Wenger that first appeared on March 14 under the title “the great hope: the German Reich.” Wenger was born in 1926 in Styria in the diminished independent nation of Austria, 'victim' of the Paris Peace Conference following WWI. Willy had a loving father and mother, and an older brother Leopold (named after their father) with whom he was very close. From the time Leopold Jr. first began to speak, he was called “Bibi” (a mispronounciation of Bubi by the child), a nickname that took hold with family and friends all the way through high school and beyond.
