Continued from "Letters - flight training 1939-40"

Pilsen, April 12 1940: We are in for a change again, and it starts tomorrow. The bags are already packed; we are to spend two months entirely on our own at a camp in the Böhmerwald [Bohemian Forest]. It is supposed to be first rate living there, and we are already celebrating. For the pilot's license, I must train for at least another six months; the first solo flight is only the beginning. In the overland training I intend to cover long distances, as a sort of survey of Germany. But this is still a couple of months away, for we must still learn a great deal about navigation, and without navigation there is no flying. Most failures do not come from a lack of flying skills, but rather from inadequate ability in navigation, and with that everything stops at once. Really Willy, how are things? I am surprised that he didn't join the Flier-HJ if he was able to.

This account of Sunday's re-enactment of the Oct. 16-19th, 1813 Battle of the Nations in Leipzig, Germany is taken from The Local.

Fifes and drums played in the background as men in the brilliant green, red, light blue and grey uniforms worn by Napoleon's army tended to their cannons and muskets.

A historical commission spent years perfecting the scenario for the bicentennial re-enactment, and some 6,000 enthusiasts turned out to stage the Battle of the Nations, also known as the Battle of Leipzig.

Günter Deckert in Germany says the September general elections brought surprises in the form of losses for the liberal party (what we in the U.S. might call libertarians) and the socialists. He spoke about conditions in Germany today as they relate to national sovereignty. Some highlights of the program:

• Both the Libs and the anti-EU party failed to reach the 5% mark, so lost all representation in the parliament;
• In the Bundestag, 35 members are not of German ancestry – most of these are Turks, two are now black African;
• Germany pays 28% of EU debts, Spain 12%, Malta 3%, yet with equal voting power – and, for example, if Spain cannot pay it’s allotted amount, Germany must pay 28% of Spain’s portion;
• Germany appears from the outside to be a prosperous country, but it has 5-6 million unemployed Germans, plus all the immigrants of whom over 25% of those under 25 years are unemployed;
• Asylum-seekers increasingly come from North Africa where strong leaders have been deposed, encouraging civil war to rage (not by accident?);
• Cost so far of the “National-Socialist Underground” Prozess (investigation and trial) is 20 million euro, yet murder weapon still presents a problem;
• Jewish newspapers are government-subsidized and Jews continue to up their demands for money;
• Atomic Energy ban in favor of Wind/Sun is making energy more expensive – average user pays 200 euro a year more than before.
• Günter's book about his latest six months in Mannheim prison will be available soon.

What is the "Holocaust" theme? To make the Germans feel guilty! The media coverage of the NSU trial since the court in Munich reconvened in September after their month-long summer holiday seems to have dried up. I just found this article at Deutsche Welle from Oct. 1, 2013, from which I have liberally quoted.

Ismail Yozgat, father of Halit Yozgat who was murdered in his Internet cafe in Kassel in 2006, puts on a great show of emotion, Turkish-style, as he talks about his son.

Family members are now testifying in the Munich court and being given every consideration and opportunity to express their feelings. For instance, the father of slain Halit Yozgat calculatedly used his testimony to give an emotional account of how he found his 21-year-old son dead in his Internet cafe 7 years ago. He even went as far as to get out of his seat and lie down on the courtroom floor to demonstrate the position in which he found his son.

"Why did they kill my son?" He asked the courtroom, his voice choked by tears.

Then he looked towards the five accused and, addressing them directly asked: "What gave you the right to do this?"

Oschatz, November 18th and 26th 1939: On Wednesday November 15th I set out from Berlin and was at the airport by noon. I’ve swapped Pomerania for Saxony as my new residence. Our accommodations are set in the woods, very nicely surrounded by the pines. We are five to a room, an agreeable number, and we have parquet flooring. None of us recruits is older than twenty-one.

Gilbert Geisendorfer learned of his success in his school finals at the very last moment in an inspection. At first it seemed his schooling was done, but that turned out to be deceptive for there is always more to learn, although of different sorts of things. During this time all the other soldiers and I have learnt a great deal in new areas. Naturally no one is flying yet. I’m doing well for cash: we’re on wartime pay like all soldiers and get 1 RM per day.

Everywhere in our societies today, we see that Jews are on the attack against us but, at the same time, have built a wall of protection around themselves in the form of “the Jewish narrative.” Prime in this narrative since 1945 is “The Holocaust.” Prior to the holohoax,  simple “antisemitism” had to suffice.  Included in this program:

• Our job is to expose that Jews act only in their own interests, never in “humanity’s interest,” and that the fraudulent holohoax should not protect them;
• City leaders in Koblenz, Germany refuse unreasonable demands from their “Jewish community” saying they are no longer under any obligation to them;
• Wall Street equals Jews and we are conditioned to be afraid of a stock market crash — thus we protect Jews in this way too;
• Carolyn recommends a big revisionist event on Jan. 27, 2014, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, to counter the commemoration at Auschwitz;
• “Holocaust Historian” Wendy Lower’s new book about evil women in the Third Reich, Hitler’s Furies, is a companion book to Daniel Goldhagen’s Hitler’s Willing Executioners;
• Most of Lower’s book, reviewed in the Daily Mail, appears to be taken from non-credible camp and ghetto “survivors” tales.

Though it was only 75 years ago, it is a world we can envy today. We can't go back in time, but we can experience it to some degree through photographs. Here are some I found in Die Welt Zeitung.

In 1936 AGFA color slides, made in Germany, were put on the market. Oh, the nostalgia.

Carolyn continues on the question of Adolf Hitler’s views on Christianity, the incompatibility of National-Socialism with certain Christian teachings, and opposition to the Third Reich from both Catholic and Protestant Church leaders.

• The Eurozone vultures await the German national elections, hoping that Merkel’s win will make her ready to betray the German people for “Europe”;
• The White Rose Society members were listening to foreign radio broadcasts and associating with communists and the Lutheran Bonhoeffer family;
• The Reichskonkordat of 1933 between the Catholic  Church in Germany and the Hitler govt. guaranteed the “rights of the Church” ;
• The greatest concern of the Church was protection for Catholic education;
• In 1937 Pope Pius XI sent the Mit brennender Sorge (With Burning Concern) encyclical to all the German Catholic churches in secret, criticizing the Hitler regime for racism, pantheism, neo-paganism, idolatry of the state, and rejection of baptised Jews;
• The encyclical was read in all Catholics churches on Palm Sunday, infuriating the Hitler government which retaliated by conducting investigations into homosexuality and debauchery of Catholic clergy;
• Hitler’s “Table Talk” appears to be the authentic Hitler in the years 1941-1944 wherein he expresses his personal alienation from Christian belief;
• All in all, there is a fundamental conflict between the Christian world view and the National-Socialist world view, concludes Carolyn.
