World War II

On August 28, 1942, kite-flying four-year-old John Lewthwaite of St. Just, Cornwall got a "cheery wave" from Lt. Poldi Wenger as he flew by at very low level on his way to Penzance.

IT'S A STORY THAT ALWAYS BEGGED TO BE TOLD, but the sensitivities of the English concerning the bombing by Germany in 1940-42 made it one that John Lewthwaite was hesitant to tell. Even today.

So he wrote to me with his tale.

The encounter took place seventy-four years ago this month on August 28, as he remembered it. Lewthwaite was only 4 years old, but he's sure of what he experienced on that summer afternoon while out flying kites with a friend, in a field just north of Lands End.

Dr. Nicholas Kollerstrom talks with Carolyn about his latest book titled “How Britain Initiated Both World Wars.” The book began as a talk he gave, on two different nights, to a monthly meet group he belongs to in London, and it retains something of the conversational style. But the ideas it contains about who wanted war have been in Kollerstrom's mind for a much longer time. He said he was quite nervous about stating his ideas, especially  on World War II, to British people, and the fact that it was well-accepted by his group gave him the courage to publish it as a book.

The illustrated book is only 99 pages and the price only 4 quid (four English pounds) or $5 U.S. It's a bargain both in price and in the fact you get a good understanding of behind-the-scenes shennaigans without having to read 300 to 500 pages, or more. These wars were both tragedies that robbed Europe of it's self-confidence, as Nick explains in this podcast.

The book is available at Amazon. Nick's author page is here, where you can see the other books he's written. I did a previous show with Nick on his book Breaking the Spell. Visit his website at Terror on the Tube.

A survivor at a memorial service in Nagasaki, Japan last year.

BARACK OBAMA IS MAKING THE FIRST U. S. Presidential visit to Hiroshima on May 27 and the big question is: will he apologize for dropping the first atomic bomb on that city in August 1945 that killed 140,000 people. He says he will not and majority American opinion is probably against it. It would cut into our myth of being the good guys, fighting the good war against the evil Nazis and the dirty Japs. We all know the story very well.

I'm calling what happened to the people of that city, and was repeated three days later in Nagasaki, instantly killing 73,000 more people with one radioactive bomb … a holocaust. A true holocaust worthy of the name because the people were burned, roasted, radioactivated – something that never happened in the so-called, falsely-name “Holocaust” in Europe. And that wasn't the end of it. In Hiroshima, the bomb instantly killed 80,000 to 140,000, but seriously injured 100,000 more. It caused a black rain to fall, composed of dirt, dust, soot and highly radioactive particles that contaminated even areas remote from the explosion.

Willy Wenger, WWII combat veteran, holds his just published memoir at a book presentation in Gleichenberg, Austria on May 12th, seven  days after turning 90 years old. His wife Wilma stands at left, Frau Bürgermeisterin Christine Siegl at right.

"BERLIN SPRING 1945" IS A NEW TITLE PUBLISHED BY THE AUSTRIAN CARINA VERLAG. It relates Wenger's experience as a young soldier from the Steiermark, full of ideals and loyalty to his country who, before his pilot training was completed, was placed on the front line at Seelow Heights for the defense of Berlin. With his company, he was forced to retreat back to Berlin, where the Battle of Berlin was raging. How this 19 year-old survived several months of chaotic conditions and a badly wounded foot to find his way back to his hometown of Leoben is a powerful and worthwhile contribution to the history of the the war from the German side.

The book is basically what I have published, translated into English, in the Wenger Family Archive here at CarolynYeager.net, but with some differences, Wenger says. It features a forward by the well-known Brigadier-ret J. Paul Puntigam, Chief of Infantry and Commandant of the Jägerschule. Here is a video of him speaking at the Press Club in Graz in 2013 on the topic “We need reform.”

ON APRIL 2ND IN MILWAUKEE (a city settled by German immigrants), 'Democratic Socialist' presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was berating Republican candidate Donald Trump for calling for a temporary ban on non-US-citizens who are Muslim from entering the USA. Sanders likened Trump to a “lunatic,” after calling him "a nutcase" just a week before.

The Washington Post reported that on Saturday, the Senator from Vermont indicated he was against intolerance toward Muslims, explaining that some of his relatives [allegedly] died “in the Holocaust” because “a lunatic … stirred up racial hatred:”

I RECENTLY WATCHED the new video interview: “Nick Griffin interview with Jack Sen – Part 1.” There are three parts, all available now, although I have only watched Part 1, which I came upon posted at The Occidental Observer (TOO). Skimming through it, I was struck by the conversation between the two men about Holocaust, so later I settled down to watch all of Part 1.

For background, Jack Sen is a British citizen who is one-half East Indian** and has written four articles for TOO to date, his latest being an attack on the Dresden, Germany-based PEGIDA, calling it a Zionist organization. According to his article, Sen got involved with the PEGIDA-UK Facebook page editors and watched them cave in to Jewish money, thus has created an organization of his own he named “British Renaissance.” Interesting that his BR logo was designed for free by the PEGIDA-UK webmaster before he left. I was put-off by this article for the reason that it was the second anti-Pegida essay published at TOO that I have read – the first being an attack on Tommy Robinson and Pegida-UK by another Britain-booster and regular contributor, Francis Carr Begbie. My impression of Begbie is that he never met a German that he liked. In this article he claimed that an Israeli flag was prominently displayed at every PEGIDA rally – absolutely false! I've never seen one and I watch them all. So when either of these two men write about Germany, it's clear to me they just don't have a clue and should stick to something they actually know about.

Dresden, February 15, 1945. One of many funeral pyres of holocausted German bodies piled up on steel rails before being set on fire. Pictures like this have been used by Jews, falsely depicting them as Jewish holocaust victims.

Shame, shame, shame on all those who fail to remember the suffering of their own parents and grandparent, cousins, aunts and uncles in their own city because of “Political Correctness” and fear of being seen as in any way supporting “the Nazis.”

The city officials have cancelled all commemoration events for this year. For the first time the city has entirely dispensed with its own event, a memorial service in Heide cemetery where just some of the hundred thousand bomb victims are buried.

According to www.welt.de, only the human chain [which celebrates the English and American bombing!] will be maintained. From the Town Hall came the announcement that the day should be increasingly used "to promote peace, democracy and human rights". The "human rights" is a jab against the Hitler regime that is popularly seen as denying human rights.

Yet, the bombing of Dresden on Feb. 13th and 14th, 1945 was the greatest war crime and the true holocaust of WWII. It has always been whitewashed for that reason.

Carolyn reads Chapter 23 "Shipwrecked Survivors" and Chapter 24 "Hospital Ships."

Though it is more difficult to investigate the deaths of shipwrecked sailors and air crews downed in the ocean than it is deaths on land, the War Crimes Bureau found clear evidence of crimes by the British during the attack on the Erich Giese destroyer at Narvik, Norway; the Osia Paraskevi caique in the Aegean Sea; and on paratroopers traveling by caique to western Crete. The shooting of downed German airmen in the Channel during the 1942 Battle of Dieppe, France, and in the Mediterranean in 1944 were also crimes by some British RAF pilots.

The investigation of the November 1944 attack which sank the German hospital ship Tubingen in the Adriatic Sea is discussed in detail, but  far less attention was given to the frequent British attacks and bombings of the smaller German hospital carriers. The Soviet Union unilaterally refused to recognize any German hospital ships.

This ends the reading of this very important book – the only one of its kind, as far as I know, that gives exposure to the German Military's professional investigations into the war crimes committed by the Allies against German soldiers. 1h14m

Carolyn reads chapter 21, "Katyn" and chapter 22, "Vinnitsa."

The mass graves discovered in the Katyn Forest in 1943 are the most widely publicized of the political murders and war crimes committed by the Soviet Union from 1937 to 1945, but are just one of innumerable examples from the bloodthirsty regime of Josef Stalin. In the town of Vinnitsa, 10,000 bodies were exhumed from three major burial sites, but more remained in the ground. 1h7m.  Some highlights:

• At Nuremberg, the Soviet prosecutors tried to indict the Germans for the killing of thousands of Polish officerrs at Katyn, but had to abandon the effort due to the obvious falsity of their case:
• Details of the U.S. Congressional investigation, which also found the Soviets responsible;
• Other research, investigations and books exculpated the Germans for the killing of 22,000 Polish military and police officers;
• In Vinnitsa, the murders of political prisoners held in the NKVD prisons began in 1937-38; rumours of what some had seen taking place were mentioned only in whispers;
• In 1943, Germans dug up mass graves in three separate locations in Vinnitsa, but had to end the digging when the Soviets reoccupied the area in 1944;
• International medical committees were formed for both Katyn and Vinnitsa, and found unanimously that the vast murdering took place when the Germans were NOT there, but the Soviets were in control.
