Front and back cover of the 1941 booklet "German Soldiers in the Soviet Union" by Wolfgang Diewerge.


By Carolyn Yeager

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM 'ROGER' with a link to a Third Reich book of soldiers' letters from the East, titled “German Soldiers in the Soviet Union: Letters from the East” (Deutsche Soldaten sehen die Sowjet-Union. Feldpostbriefe aus dem Osten) by Wolfgang Diewerge, published in 1941. I don't recall seeing this particular page in Randall Bytwerk's Calvin College “German Propaganda Archive” before now. The page is copyrighted, so I will only reproduce a few of the letter excerpts here, in order to draw your attention to them.

Roger wanted to know if there was an English translation of the full 60 page booklet. Not that I know of, so if anyone out there is interested in producing a translation, please do contact me.

After reading it, I was inspired to write the following few paragraphs on what ideas it brought to my mind on this Sunday morning:

British Lady Renouf questioned by German police after speech in Dresden

Watch the video of Renouf's speech here.

On Saturday. a rally was held in Dresden, Germany in memory of the victims of the February 1945 firebombing of the architecturally-renowned central city that was filled with refugees at the time.

In an impromptu speech, translated on the spot by a German friend, Lady Michele Renouf, with Gerd Ittner, one of the rally's organizers standing next to her, stated that the "wicked" British war government "deliberately hoped to kill as many as 900,000 German civilians" with their three day bombing schedule, aided by the Americans.

I APPRECIATED SVEN'S INVITATION to appear on his Aryan Insights program at Radio Aryan. We did a morning session (not my best time for talking) but I talked and talked and couldn't seem to stop! I'm afraid Sven didn't get much of a chance, but he is a complete gentleman and we have become friends from doing just this one podcast together. The result is something of an overview of both Hermann Giesler and Willi Kriessmann and I – and I don't leave out Adolf Hitler either. This is my edited version of our session. 55m.

I RECORDED THREE ONE-HOUR SESSIONS WITH BRIAN discussing Willi's and my book from beginning to end. In the first session we talk about how The Artist Within the Warlord: An Adolf Hitler You've Never Known came about and chapters one through four. Forgive the sound quality with the opening 5 minutes or so; it does get straightened out. Part Two is about chapters 5-11, and Part Three chapters 12-13 and summing up. Brian is real easy and fun to talk with.

No mention of Dresden firebombing anniversary in German media this year

Published by carolyn on Tue, 2018-02-13 18:29

Feb. 1945. This is how the Dresdeners who lived far enough outside the city center to survive the deadly firebombing behaved afterward to clean up their city. Does this remind you of the Jewish tales of how they were forced by German guards to carry heavy rocks from here to there for no purpose? Maybe this is where they got that idea.


By Carolyn Yeager

THE GERMAN MEDIA HAS GONE DARK ON ANY 2018 REMEMBRANCE  for its tortured Dresden residents of Feb. 13, 14 and 15, 1945.

The best I found was a series of recycled photographs linked to from the bottom of the long front page listings at Der Spiegel. The photographs emphasize how the rebuilding of the "Old Dresden" made the "New Dresden" of today better than ever.

We remember the worst war crime in human history—the firebombing of Dresden, February 13-15, 1945

Published by carolyn on Sun, 2018-02-11 13:41

ON THE EVENING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1945, A SERIES OF ALLIED FIREBOMBING RAIDS BEGAN AGAINST THE GERMAN CITY OF DRESDEN, reducing the “Florence of the Elbe” to rubble and flames, and killing as many as 135,000 people. It was the single most destructive bombing of the [most destructive] war [in history]—including Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and all the more horrendous because little, if anything, was accomplished strategically, since the Germans were already on the verge of surrender. [From History.com]

In remembrance and protest, I present this first hand, eyewitness account by survivor Margaret Freyer which I found here and which I think does justice to the unspeakable horror forced on over a million unarmed German citizens and refugees by the governments of (firstly) Great Britain under Winston Churchill and (secondly) the USA, under Franklin D. Roosevelt. I cannot condemn these men and their governments enough, even though 73 years have now passed since this terror was perpetrated on innocent souls.

An apology and admission of wrongdoing, which has never come, is certainly in order. -Carolyn Yeager

Nuremberg hangman was a U.S. Navy-diagnosed psychopath who slowly strangled top Nazis

Master Sergeant John C. Woods poses for photographers in his ship’s bunk after he became a celebrity as the Army’s Hangman for the 10 alleged war criminals condemned to death by the Allies’ International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in October 1946.


By Carolyn Yeager

THIS IS A GRUESOME STORY - THE CULMINATION OF A GRUESOME WAR which was followed up with an atrocity-filled post-war Germany occupation. Those responsible for the rampant criminality were the Allies—the All-Lies—who were successful at covering themselves with an image as world saviors.

On October 16, 1946, in a ghoulish death procession that began shortly after 1 a.m., ten political and military leaders of the Third Reich were hanged by the neck until dead by a psychopathic Navy deserter who lied about having previous experience as an executioner. He was Master Sergeant John C. Woods, promoted to that rank from private after being selected as the Army’s hangman.  The promotion cannot be attributed to any merit of his own, but in order to endow him with a greater sense of worthiness for his special task. His assistant was a military policeman named Joseph Malta, a 28-year old floor-sander in private life. Both had volunteered for the job after the Army put out word for an executioner, asking if anyone had experience. Woods claimed he had hanged two men in Texas and two in Oklahoma. No records exist showing that he did.

First book review of "Artist Within the Warlord"

By Raymond Goodwin


RARE IS ANY CREDIBLE LITERATURE DEALING WITH ADOLF HITLER – the man, and his time on the stage of history. There are, of course, tons of articles and books written about that, but the key word in the lead sentence is “credible.” Anyone who has any ability to think for themselves knows that any such writing is automatically “qualified” right off the bat by letting the reader know that Adolf Hitler was the most vile, evil, megalomaniac who ever lived. And what follows that introduction is nothing but Cinderella fairy-tales that are worthless in any CREDIBLE study of the man and his era. See the message under the photo on page 128 about a false statement from a Dr. Ferdinand Sauerbruch, explained as “it was the style of the time after the war to make up wild stories about Adolf Hitler.”

Why revisionism is an historical necessity

Published by carolyn on Tue, 2017-12-19 23:35

THIS ARTICLE WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL LIBERATION IN 1958, during the Cold War. Written twelve years after the end of WWII, it is still necessary reading today. I am posting the entire long article here because I think every word is valuable. I have taken the liberty of bolding some words and sentences that I think are particularly valuable. During this holiday season, take some time to read it, not necessarily all in one sitting. You will be immeasurably enriched and informed by it.

Harry Elmer Barnes (1889-1968) is pictured above in a portrait created for The Barnes Review magazine. He was one of the most influential American scholars of the twentieth century.

Revisionism and the Promotion of Peace

By Harry Elmer Barnes, 1958

During the last forty years or so [since 1918 -cy], revisionism has become a fighting term. To so-called revisionists, it implies an honest search for historical truth and the discrediting of misleading myths that are a barrier to peace and goodwill among nations. In the minds of anti-revisionists, the term savors of malice, vindictiveness, and an unholy desire to smear the saviors of mankind.
