World War II

In the first hour, Carolyn continues her criticism of  Mark Weber, and includes radio show hosts  Kyle Hunt, Rodney Martin and Deanna Spingola who have given Weber an easy time of it, rather than asking, and demanding answers to, tough questions. Mark Weber has been a disastrous director of the Institute for Historical Review and should be held accountable  for it. Rewarding people for failure and weakness is the absolute wrong thing to do if we are serious about turning things around for ourselves. [By the way, I forgot to mention I sent an email to MW on Sunday inviting him to come on my Saturday Afternoon program; he has not replied. I knew he wouldn't, but still, he could take the opportunity to defend himself ... if he had a defense.]

Second hour focuses on John Friend and his friendliness with Jews over quite a period of time. Why does he express himself as strongly as anyone does against Jews in White society, and at the same time link for no good reason to anti-Hitler websites run by Jews? John’s compulsion to have his finger in every pie leads to the conclusion that he is just dabbling and won’t last long in any of it. Carolyn finishes up with Adolf Hitler’s words in 1931 that “German life must be purged of all foreign (Jewish) elements that distort the true German Spirit.” Substitute Aryan for German. 1h44m

1 May 1941: [Still in the city of Cherbourg] Drunk sailors are found in all corners today because it is a common holiday. I used this free afternoon to thoroughly sleep myself out because where we live, and get up at 5 a.m. for emergency service which lasts until 10 p.m., drastically gets on one's nerves. Then the commuting from the city to our squadron location takes another half hour. I will be happy whenever I can go back to my squadron, which is heading further West.

How are my two little siblings doing? Is Gerhard still so terrible? [2 years old] Or has he gotten better? And Greterl [6 years old] ought to get her hair cut again, for then I will send her chocolate.

Also, the latest developments in the persecution of  Cornelius Gurlitt and the “Looted Nazi Art” scam and why it is a scam.

How two United States ambassadors serving President Franklin Roosevelt worked to wreck feelings of trust between Poland’s Foreign Office under Josef Beck and the government of Adolf Hitler. German Historian Dr. Alfred Schickel’s paper “Germany and Poland in American secret documents” examines the secret memorandums and telegrams sent by Drexel Biddle, U.S. Ambassador to Poland, which contained secret conversations held by William C. Bullitt, U.S. Ambassador to France, with Joself Beck and other high-level Poles such as Marshall Ridz-Smigly. Some important points:

• Beck met three times with Ambassador to France Bullitt during his private visit to Warsaw in November 1937;
• The content of these and other conversations were contained in four “confidential memoranda” sent by Ambassador Biddle to Sec. of State Cordell Hull (and Roosevelt);
• Poland accepted Germany’s actions on behalf of the Sudetan Germans in Czechoslovakia in 1938, and the break-up of the Czech state, because through it she also gained autonomy for Poles in the Teschen region;
• Biddle’s secret telegram of March 29, 1939 revealed that the planned response by Beck to any specific suggestion from Berlin would now be a “dignified, polite but firm” no;
• The U.S. even deceived Poland about the “Secret Additional Protocol” signed by Ribbentrop and Molotov on Aug. 21, and so the British government signed the Anglo-Polish mutual assistance agreement on August 25, 1939.

Warsaw-based historian Piotr Zychowicz has written two books since 2012 that are hugely controversial in Poland. Both are centered on tragic mistakes Poles made that added to their suffering during the second world war. The first is Pakt Ribbentrop-Beck, with the premise that Foreign Minister Beck should have agreed to ally with Hitler against the Soviet Union in 1939. The second is Madness ’44: How Poles Made a Gift to Stalin by Launching the Warsaw Uprising.  Zychowicz sees it as a disastrous mistake. Some highlights:

• Poland’s #1 enemy has always been the Soviet Union and/or Russia;
• Great Britain convinced Josef Beck he could prevent war by helping in the encirclement of Germany in ’39;
• England cynically used Beck to provoke Hitler to attack Poland and create war between Germany and Soviet Union;
• Churchill is the most terrible character in the whole history of Poland;
• Zychowicz says the National-Socialists had stupid genocidal policies in Poland and all Eastern Europe;
• Zychowicz admits that a problem for Poles is not thinking realistically about themselves;
• Today, Poland and Germany have a great relationship, says Zychowicz.

10 January 1941: Today I flew for the first time in the new year and have seen England's coast for the first time. About the false alarm in Leoben on Christmas Eve, I had to laugh.

So far none of us can fly! And for us, there are no more air-raid alarms; there is no time for that—bombing starts immediately.

20 January 1941: Today, all the snow has melted away. It's positively unpleasant—you can hardly believe it. The soil is just bottomless. It looks like Spring wants to begin already. I am almost every day on the beach, watching the sunset again and again, a truly wonderful, impressive experience. Today, however, there came up a very violent storm and I had to think of Mom whose desire  has always been to experience a storm at sea up close, with lashing waves. Our guards, however, are less enthusiastic about it.

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.

Thanks to James Damon (right) for the English translation of this outstanding interview given by Erich Priebke to his Italian attorney Dr. Paolo Giachini and translated anonymously into German.

See UPDATE 10-24 from Dr. Giachini and Robert Faurisson at end of interview.

 The Interview

Question: Herr Priebke, several years ago you stated that you never deny your past. Now that you are 100 years old, do you still think that?

Answer: Yes.

Q: Would you please elucidate?

A: Long ago I made the decision to remain true to myself.

Q: So, do you still consider yourself a National Socialist?

A: Loyalty to our past determines our convictions and our character.
This is the way I view the world and my ideals. It is what was once our German Weltanschauung, the way we view the world. It is what still determines my sense of honor and my self-respect. Politics is something different. National Socialism perished with the defeat of Germany and today there is no longer any prospect of its continuation.

Thomas Kues‘ very important chapter 7 titled “Where They Went; Reality of Resettlement” from The “Extermination Camps” of “Aktion Reinhardt” is looked at as well as time allows. The hypothesis the three revisionists draw from the evidence is that when the war was coming to an end, and for several years afterward, Josef Stalin (right) engineered the “disappearance” of hundreds of thousands to over a million non-Soviet, non-Russian speaking  “foreign” Jews into concentration camps in Siberia from whence they did not return. Highlights:

• The plan of the National-Socialists to deport Europe’s Jews into ghettos in the occupied East (until a permanent place of resettlement could be found after the war) is documented;
• Jewish detainees able to work were in demand as labor in the armaments industry and  for infrastructure work  near the Front as much as possible, as were Prisoners of War;
• The only Jews that were “liberated” in 1945 were those in camps in Germany proper;
• The deported Jews trapped in the Soviet Union and Soviet-controlled territory were further deported by Stalin to Siberian Gulags and became “unpersons”;
• Stalin benefited most from the myth of the “Nazi gas chambers," and even his anti-Stalinist successors would not question it because it upholds the Russian “good guy” history;
• January 27th has become “International Day of Commemoration for Victims of the Holocaust” – more about that next week.

This lifesize concrete sculpture depicting a Red Army soldier raping a pregnant woman appeared next to a Soviet tank at the site in Gdansk, Poland that is meant to memorialize the "liberation" of the city from National-Socialist forces in 1945.

It is the work of Jerzy Bohdan Szumczyk, who is now facing up to two years in prison for the possible charge of inciting racial or national hatred. He placed it there during the night without permission and police removed it only a few hours later. But, according to authorities, the damage was done.

Carolyn takes selections from Carlo Mattogno’s chapter 5 and 6 in The “Extermination Camps” of “Aktion Reinhardt” that deal with Holocauster’s claims of “decimation by labor;” “local exterminations” which took place before the “final solution” was given by Hitler allegedly between Dec. 7 and 14, 1941 (Pearl Harbor!); Himmler’s order to shoot the Jews in Pinsk; Hitler’s comments to Hungary’s Horthy on “burning his bridges” and Jews likened to bacilli and pests. Some other important points:

• In the occupied territories, the Germans needed to direct the Jews from the countryside into the cities (ghettos) to lessen the danger of partisan activity;
• By far,  most of the shootings in the Soviet Union and Poland consisted of reprisals for guerrilla terrorism against Wehrmacht troops and supplies;
• The “Lorpicrin gassing” shows the kind of fake stories that are accepted by orthodox holocaust historians;
• Eichmann’s testimony for “gassings” at Chelmo, Treblinka or Belzec, used by holocausters, is useless because contradictory;
• German ministers serving  in the East had difficulty finding a way to deal with their dangerous Jews, as they could often not be sent somewhere else;
• Mattogno shows that Poles and Serbs were shot for partisan activity along with Jews – it was not a policy aimed at Jews alone;
• Hitler, in his meetings with Hungary’s Horthy in 1944, used the word “decay,” not "exterminate," in referring to the fate of the Jews who would not work.
