This is meant to be an ongoing thread to add to as time allows, documenting the atrocities committed against the German people by the victors of WW-II.  This is a way of examining what may well lie ahead for Americans in the not-too-distant future.  Let's start where I first cracked the case, chasing my own roots in the Sudetenland, the western half of what is now the Czech Republic.

Quote"After the war ended in 1945, one of the most gruesome genocides took place that the history of mankind has ever seen: the expulsion and destruction of the Sudeten Germans.  The German government has kept knowledge of this Holocaust and huge files of documentary evidence a secret, in other words, this chapter of history is supposed to remain tucked away in the hindmost corners of the Federal German archives, there to gather dust and be forgotten.  Its publication is not desired."

"The poor souls who were tortured to a gruesome death can no longer tell their story - but the survivors can.  Driven into a truncated Germany of rubble and ruins, where the people had enough to do to get their lives back under control, the Sudaten Germans soon gave up trying to tell of their suffering, they buried the knowledge deep within themselves - but nevertheless their story has not been lost, as it was summarized (at least in part) in a book titled Dokumente zur Austreibung der Sudetendeutschen - Documents of the Expulsion of Sudeten Germans - and it is our moral duty to those who were tormented to death, to tell the world about this death march of a people - now that the Internet has made such a publication possible..."

"Everyone has a right to one's homeland, and every people has the right to honor its dead - except for the Sudeten Germans, who evidently have neither."

QuoteHow three million Germans died after VE Day

Nigel Jones reviews After the Reich: From the Liberation of Vienna to the Berlin Airlift by Giles MacDonogh

Giles MacDonogh is a bon viveur and a historian of wine and gastronomy, but in this book, pursuing his other consuming interest - German history - he serves a dish to turn the strongest of stomachs. It makes particularly uncomfortable reading for those who compare the disastrous occupation of Iraq unfavourably to the post-war settlement of Germany and Austria.

MacDonogh argues that the months that followed May 1945 brought no peace to the shattered skeleton of Hitler's Reich, but suffering even worse than the destruction wrought by the war. After the atrocities that the Nazis had visited on Europe, some degree of justified vengeance by their victims was inevitable, but the appalling bestialities that MacDonogh documents so soberly went far beyond that. The first 200 pages of his brave book are an almost unbearable chronicle of human suffering.

His best estimate is that some three million Germans died unnecessarily after the official end of hostilities. A million soldiers vanished before they could creep back to the holes that had been their homes. The majority of them died in Soviet captivity (of the 90,000 who surrendered at Stalingrad, only 5,000 eventually came home) but, shamingly, many thousands perished as prisoners of the Anglo-Americans. Herded into cages along the Rhine, with no shelter and very little food, they dropped like flies. Others, more fortunate, toiled as slave labour in a score of Allied countries, often for years. Incredibly, some Germans were still being held in Russia as late as 1979.

The two million German civilians who died were largely the old, women and children: victims of disease, cold, hunger, suicide - and mass murder.

Apart from the well-known repeated rape of virtually every girl and woman unlucky enough to be in the Soviet occupation zones, perhaps the most shocking outrage recorded by MacDonogh - for the first time in English - is the slaughter of a quarter of a million Sudeten Germans by their vengeful Czech compatriots. The survivors of this ethnic cleansing, naked and shivering, were pitched across the border, never to return to their homes. Similar scenes were seen across Poland, Silesia and East Prussia as age-old German communities were brutally expunged.

Given that what amounted to a lesser Holocaust was unfolding under their noses, it may be asked why the western Allies did not stop this venting of long-dammed-up rage on the (mainly) innocent. MacDonogh's answer is that it could all have been even worse. The US Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, favoured turning Germany into a gigantic farm, and there were genocidal Nazi-like schemes afoot to starve, sterilise or deport the population of what was left of the bombed-out cities.

The discovery of the Nazi death camps stoked Allied fury, with General George Patton asking an aide amid the horrors of Buchenwald: 'Do you still find it hard to hate them?' But the surviving inmates were soon replaced by German captives - Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and even Auschwitz stayed in business after the war, only now with the Germans behind the wire.

It was Realpolitik, not humanitarian concern, that caused a swift shift in western attitudes towards their former foes. Fear of Communism spreading into the heart of Europe, and the barbarities of the Russians - who kidnapped and killed hundreds of their perceived enemies from the western zones of Berlin and Vienna - belatedly made the West realise that they had beaten one totalitarian power only to be threatened by another.

Even that hardline Kraut-hater Patton was sacked for advocating a pre-emptive strike against Russia. Building up West Germany and saving Berlin from Soviet strangulation with the 1948 airlift became the first battles of the Cold War - even if that meant overlooking Nazi crimes and enlisting Nazi criminals in the 'economic miracle' of reconstruction.

Although MacDonogh roundly condemns all the occupying powers, the British emerge with some credit. Apart from one Air Marshal who looted art treasures; and an MI5 interrogator nicknamed 'Tin Eye' Stephens who ran a private torture chamber, British hands may have been grubby, but were not deeply blood-stained. British squaddies preferred to purchase their sex privately with a packet of fags or a pair of nylons, rather than in the Soviet style.

MacDonogh has written a gruelling but important book. This unhappy story has long been cloaked in silence since telling it suited no one. Not the Allies, because it placed them near the moral nadir of the Nazis; nor the Germans, because they did not wish to be accused of whitewashing Hitler by highlighting what was, by any standard, a war crime. Giles MacDonogh has told a very inconvenient truth.

QuoteThe Destruction of Ethnic Germans and German Prisoners of War
in Yugoslavia, 1945-1953


Tomislav Sunic


At the outbreak of World War II in 1939, more than one and a half million ethnic Germans were living in southeastern Europe, that is, in Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Romania. Because they lived mostly near and along the Danube river, these people were popularly known "Danube Swabians" or Donauschwaben. Most were descendants of settlers who came to this fertile region in the 17th and 18th centuries following the liberation of Hungary from Turkish rule.

For centuries the Holy Roman Empire and then the Habsburg Empire struggled against Turkish rule in the Balkans, and resisted the "Islamization" of Europe. In this struggle the Danube Germans were viewed as a rampart of Western civilization, and were held in high esteem in the Austrian (and later, Austro-Hungarian) empire for their agricultural productivity and military prowess. Both the Holy Roman and Habsburg empires were multicultural and multinational entities, in which diverse ethnic groups lived for centuries in relative harmony...

After the end of fighting in Europe on May 8, 1945, more than 200,000 ethnic Germans who had remained behind in Yugoslavia effectively became captives of the new Communist regime. Some 63,635 Yugoslav ethnic German civilians (women, men and children) perished under Communist rule between 1945 and 1950 -- that is, some 18 percent of the ethnic German civilian population still remaining in the new Yugoslavia. Most died as a result of exhaustion as slave laborers, in "ethnic cleansing," or from disease and malnutrition. [6]  Much of the credit for the widely-praised "economic miracle" of Titoist Yugoslavia, it should be noted, must go to the tens of thousands of German slave laborers who, during the late 1940s, helped to build the impoverished country.

Property of ethnic Germans in Yugoslavia confiscated in the aftermath of World War II amounted to 97,490 small businesses, factories, shops, farms and diverse trades. The confiscated real estate and farmland of Yugoslavia's ethnic Germans came to 637,939 hectares (or about one million acres), and became state-owned property. According to a 1982 calculation, the value of the property confiscated from ethnic Germans in Yugoslavia amounted to 15 billion German marks, or about seven billion US dollars. Taking inflation into account, this would today correspond to twelve billion US dollars. From 1948 to 1985, more than 87,000 ethnic Germans who were still residing in Yugoslavia moved to Germany and automatically became German citizens. [7]

All this constitutes a "final solution of the German question" in Yugoslavia.

QuoteThe post-WWII expulsion of over 10,000,000 ethnic German civilians from Eastern Europe as the Allies look on.

by James Mayfield (Chairman, European Heritage Library)

...A controversial and recurring question that often stubbornly reemerges in Europe is the question of how to, or whether or not to, commemorate the over 10,000,000 German civilians subjected to forced movement, compulsory labour, property seizure, and even internecine murder with the support of the governments of especially Poland, the Soviet Union, and the former Czechoslovakia. Standard historiographical and cultural dogma, which understandably places total responsibility for the war in the hands of the Germans or the German state, makes it unpopular to assert that many ethnic German civilians could have been innocent victims of belligerent Allied expulsion and displacement at the same time. Without in any way denying the horrendous brutality committed by Germany during the war, no nation has officially recognised or commemorated the fact that civilians of diverse political ideologies were targeted as far away as the mountains of Romania and the plains of Russia solely because of their ethnic identity, despite the fact that their ancestors had often not seen Germany for centuries or had any personal affiliation with Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party.

Whilst over 700,000 ethnic German settlers in the Soviet Union were forcibly shipped on trains to Kazakhstan for compulsory labour internment, the expelled Germans in Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia were largely force marched en masse to the Allied occupied zones of Germany. Poland had lost as much as 20% of its population due to the Nazi and Soviet invasions, and therefore Poles were hardly concerned of the well-being of the large German minority that was inaccurately portrayed as inherently pro-Nazi and anti-Polish. Following their expulsion, the western German expellees long enjoyed an auspicious political bond with the West German government via expellee rights organisations. The regimes of Konrad Adenauer (1949-63), Kurt Kiesinger (1966-69), and Willy Brandt (1969-74) implicitly promised support for the human rights and property restitution of the Germans who were forced from their homes. As a result, West Germany instated the Law of Return (Rückkehrgesetz), which continues to allow displaced ethnic German communities to attain citisenship and limited subsidy in Germany. This injunction is still in effect today, although it has been all but phased out due to a preference for Polish and Turkish immigrant labour...

Latching onto the growing atmosphere of human rights consciousness, expellee groups and supportive proponents argued that Heimatsrecht – the right for the vanquished Volga German, Baltic German, Sudeten German, and Prussian/Silesian German communities to live safely without being forcibly expelled for the actions of the German state – is a basic human right. In the same context, Native American peoples, Ashkenazim Jews, and native Xhosa and Zulu tribes of South Africa were getting ever-increasing recognition for their tragic displacement and removal from their homelands (a denial of Heimatsrecht). Vague promises by the West German governments to eventually settle the expellee indemnity question and the eastern territories accelerated hopes for compensation and commemoration. Expellees, with government sponsorship, consistently asserted the eventual need for direct property restitution from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the other governments that organised the expulsions, rather than mere sociopolitical representation in Germany...

Despite these understandable desires of the Czech and Polish governments to avoid opening up a multi-billion dollar restitution crisis that would mangle their economies, politicians have still failed to acknowledge that one of the largest death tolls and forced expulsions of the 20th century must be commemorated and honored regardless of any blame, revisionism, or fears of apologetically defending the atrocities of Hitler's Third Reich. As a result of these fears, even the fact that these deaths and expulsions occurred at all is almost entirely unknown. The deaths of over 2,200,000 civilians from hunger and displacement, targeted simply because of their ethnicity, is a crisis of historcal memory that has been sadly forgotten.

Quote2011/11/21
William Dudley Pelley: "DUPES OF JUDAH: A Challenge to THE AMERICAN LEGION"

DUPES OF JUDAH

A Challenge to THE AMERICAN LEGION

by Pelley of the Silvershirts

Shall we go to War this time to save Germany's Jews or Sassoon's Yellow River Dope Trade?

Chapter I

    I want to use a little straight-from-the-shoulder language to the men of the American Legion!

    I want to talk to them about the inside facts concerning a certain War that twenty years ago made it possible for them to be present Legion members. It's as plain as the nose on anybody's face that something like a million American lads went overseas in 1917 to fight a war, about the causes of which they knew next to nothing.

    Even today, two decades after, scarcely one veteran in a thousand knows the accurate, concise, inside story of why we got into that War, who got us in, what chestnuts foreign governments pulled out of the fire — or had us pull or had us pull out — and who cracked and ate those chestnuts after we had been bamboozled into helping rake them from the coals of European conflict.

    It's time all of us had a little enlightenment on how such wars are made, who makes 'em, and what purposes are served by concocting and launching 'em.

    We certainly know who has to fight 'em!

    Understand me, I'm no pacifist. I'm not saying that "war is terrible" or that it "sets back civilization" or that it kills off the cream and bead of a nation's manhood while weaklings and profiteers are left to enjoy any benefits that subsequently come out of it. I think there are wars that are justified, and that certainly should be fought. I feel that I did my part in the last War, although it happened that my jerk concerned the espionage forces on the Eastern Front. What I mean to say is, I'm not writing this booklet from sentimental reasons or because my conscience hurts me that I did my World War fighting from a swivel chair. My gripe about the last War, and my gripe against the next war — which they're now cooking up! — are based on the fact that being a reasonably sincere American, born and raised in this country and with forebears in both the Civil and Revolutionary Wars, it burns me up to see equally sincere and patriotic fighting-men hoodwinked, hoaxed and hijacked, called to the colors supposedly to scrap for the nation's integrity, and then really used as sap cannon-fodder to stop pig-iron in a brawl from which some foreign clique profits.

    In other words, I'm ready and eager to stop my share of the pig-iron when my country's in danger or when her flag's been insulted. But I've got enough gray in my hair at last not to get excited or begin any patriotic screeching when I find that my country's been deliberately put in danger or her flag's been insulted with malice aforethought to force her to take sides in some foreign racial squabble.

    There's considerable difference!

    Right now I'm plenty hot and bothered, and writing specifically for the men of the American Legion, because I happen to know from first-hand research that a cold-blooded conspiracy is afoot to get us stirred up into fighting another foreign war — and repeating all the experiences of 1917, if you please! — for no other reason than that these radical New-Dealers have made a complete botch of their crack-pot program and are now frantically seeking an "out" to distract public attention from that failure and possible reprisals.

    The plight of the Jews — in Germany — and I'm not at all ready to admit that it's much of a plight outside of the imaginations of the paid propagandists — gives these same New-Dealers precisely the peg they need and want on which to hang a sudden program for "Americanism" and armament....

    Hitler's a "monster," or so it stacks up to me, because he's beaten the Jews at their own game of double-cross in Germany and they're plenty sore about it. So they want us as a nation to go over and shellac him. Or the Sassoon Yellow-River dope trade is threatened by the Nipponese in China, and we must get busy and thrash the Mikado.

    A couple of years ago the Jews were bragging that Hitler couldn't last a year. They'd have him over-thrown in jig-time. But Hitler has lasted, and the Yidds have lost "face." ... If the Germans like Hitler, that's their business. If the Jews don't like him, I see no reason for making that our business.

    The other day, however, a little undersized Yiddisher runt by the name of Grynszpan was put up to the job of assassinating one of the Nazi envoys to Paris — by the same Jewish big-shots who've been eternally plotting to overthrow the Nazi regime from the first. The runt bungled the job and shot the wrong man. He "got" an under-secretary by the name of Von Rath. Hitler's agents smoked out exactly what had happened, and when the Nazis rioted against Jews all over, and assessed a $406,000,000 fine against 'em as a lesson, the Jews over here said: "Swell! That sort of stuff plays right into our hands. Now watch us capitalize on it with the American sentimentalists to take the United States for a final one-way ride!"

    Now don't get me wrong! I'm no Nazi propagandist apologizing for Hitler. I don't believe his brand of government would work for Americans any more than Stalin's brand of government would work for Americans. But having kept up a lot of my espionage connections since the war, I know a thing or two about what goes on behind the scenes.

    I know, for instance, that with the "kikes" swarming into the Federal Administration thicker than midges in fly-time, and with their hate and chagrin over Hitler added to their vast New-Deal flop, the whole Von Rath episode — coupled with Japan's winning of the China War — give Roosevelt and his White House Sanhedrin precisely the opportunity they wanted to heat us to war fever anew and engage us with whosoever stands up to us firmest.

    What I have behind my eyebrows to do first is to set forth clearly and simply — and in a way that the average Legion man and patriot can grasp — just what a mighty piece of skulduggery we were sold upon 'in 1917, and what the "backstairs" truth was, about getting us into the muddle that killed some fifty thousand lads like you and me,

    It's a strange fact, but up till a few weeks ago I'd not been able in twenty years to find a single piece of literature that set forth in concise, understandable fashion the naked truth as to why the World War broke out at all, or why — having broken out — it lasted four years, or why it was required for us to get into it, upsetting the lives of a hundred million people, shipping a million of them overseas, and butchering fifty thousand of them just to prove that we took part in it.

    Of course, the average American thinks the War broke out because the German Kaiser was getting too cocky and rattling his sabre about Europe till the Allied nations got fed up, on his bombast. Then somebody killed an Archduke at Sarajevo, and Serbia wouldn't apologize. Russia mobilized and that scared France and England. Nobody would back down. All the Allies wanted Germany licked "that the world might be safe for Democracy." ... After the stramash had been going three years, a German U-boat sank one of our steamships, killing a bunch of important Americans. That was an insult we couldn't overlook, so we too armed and stepped into the fray — to show we could heave pig-iron around with the best of 'em, That's the World War — on paper — and in the mind of the average citizen who is average because he never dreams what all these diplomatic and overseas messes are about.

    I plead guilty to being as dumb as the rest of 'em when I started for the Eastern Front in 1917. But I hadn't been out there long before I began to learn things: things that never saw the newspapers and were rarely allowed to get into the dispatches. Being indirectly in the espionage division, of course I had the chance to learn 'em.

    After coming home, however, and living two post-war decades, I never found a dozen paragraphs, that set forth the true facts in a simple and compact manner until the other day an American-Hungarian lawyer in Cleveland by the name of Louis K. Birinyi got out a book Why the Treaty of Trianon is Void. Being a native Hungarian, Dr. Birinyi was all worked up over what happened to his country at the Peace Conference — or for that matter is still happening in the center of all this Fascist business in Europe. He sent me a copy of his book, with an exceedingly complimentary inscription on the flyleaf. I took it to bed with me one night and started to read it in desultory manner. I supposed it was "just another" of those literary post-mortems. Suddenly I found myself broad awake and paying strict attention. This Cleveland Hungarian was in possession of the facts. He was tossing 'em out in paragraphs that scoured.

    Here at last was the book, and the inside presentation that I had searched vainly twenty years to find. The Doctor wasn't trying to sell anything. He wasn't even trying to sell a book written by himself. He was pouring out his heartbreak on paper, over the fate of his native country, but in so doing he was spilling the beans all over the place!

    I mention Dr. Birinyi's book, not to "plug" sales for it, though it deserves all the plugging it can get, but because I propose to draw on a lot of what that Cleveland attorney has got in his pages — as well as irrefutable government documents — and I don't want to filch his material without credit or conceal my sources. For some reason or other, I tell you, until the Birinyi book came out there had scarcely been a line published anywhere that revealed the nature of the backstairs chicanery that went on, setting Europe afire and killing fifty thousand of your buddies and mine when we ran with our own buckets to help put the blaze out.

    Somehow or other, looking back on it now, this too wasn't accident.

    It was to somebody's advantage to conceal and suppress such facts.

    And they have been concealed and suppressed.

    Most of you remember, I think, that Woodrow Wilson came back from the Peace Conference with a gripe to the effect that "there was a power controlling Europe with which he couldn't cope." I recall reading it in our American newspapers at the time, and have heard constant references to it since. Well, with all the high jinks that are going on at present — about which I know so much that I might sleep a whole lot better o' nights if I knew less — I make the fair deduction that the same "power" that Wilson confessed he couldn't cope with, might have had a lot to do with seeing to it that the real story behind the World War and our share in it, has been kept under pot-lid and the odor of what was in the pot never allowed to reach the public nostrils.

    Before I'll see the same gang put it over on us again, and send another fifty thousand fine lads to die in Europe in a repeat performance, I'll take the pot-cover off myself.

    Whether you men of the American Legion can "take it" or not, remains to be seen. Some of you will undoubtedly get plenty sore. It always makes a real American sore to find that somebody has played him for a sucker.

    My contention, based on the facts that I'm going to give you, is that all of us — not only the lads of the American Legion but the entire American people — were played for suckers in 1917 and that the same conniving crowd is now out to play us for suckers again.

    However, to the hot stuff....

Chapter II

    Ever since the Armistice, it's a recognized fact, nation after nation — and whole blocs of nations — have been as voluble as an equal number of old women in a small-town sewing circle, trying to explain who was responsible for the War. Germany was responsible for the War, said the British. Russia was responsible, said the German monarchists. When the crowd of burglars at the Peace Conference got around the table to divide up the territory of the Central Powers between themselves, they alibied what they were doing by declaring that Austria-Hungary was responsible for the War — because her government insisted on an apology from the Serbs for the death of an Archduke.

    Every nation on earth, at some time or other it appears, has been charged with responsibility for the World War. Every people who ever came within sound of a whiz-bang or kicked in ten cents to save a flock of starving war orphans, has been charged with responsibility for the World War. The only people to date who haven't been charged with such responsibility, is the crowd that was responsible. And its chief job in life has been to cover up.

    Perhaps you may ask, "Why go into that? What does it matter who was responsible at this late day?" I tell you that it makes a whale of a lot of "matter," in view of the fact that the same mob, never having been exposed, is up to its former tricks and popping all its trouser-buttons right now to stage a repeat performance!

    Of all the statesmen of the warring countries, Lloyd George of England is the only one left who dared indicate that somebody caused the war who hasn't to date been named. On one occasion he apologized for all the statesmen of all the warring countries by saying that "nobody quite meant war." ... Here is his blurb, uttered on December 23, 1920, to the Empire Parliamentary Association: "The more one reads memoirs and books written in the various countries of what happened before August, 1914, the more one realizes that no one at the head of affairs quite meant war. It was something into which they glided, stumbled and staggered."

    On January 6, 1923, in a syndicated article he said: "The more one examines the events of July, 1914, the more one is impressed with the shrinking of the nominal rulers of the attacking empires, and with the relentless driving onward of the military organizations behind these terror-stricken dummies. No one ever believed that the cause of the war was the shooting of the Grand Duke of Austria."

    In other words, it wasn't kings and kaisers and Prime Ministers and Chancellors who brought on the Big Slaughter. These were just poor dummies and stooges. No, it was militarism that brought on the War, militarism that originated of itself, that expanded of itself, that moved onward of itself, and that finally shot itself oil with scarcely an erring human hand to guide it.

    What a lovely blob of hooey!

    "No one at the head of affairs quite meant war. The "nominal rulers," those "terror-stricken dummies," could not of their own will make war. Emperors, diplomatists and statesmen were unable to prevent war. "The relentless driving onward of the military organizations behind these terror-stricken dummies" forced the war ahead.

    In other words, little male children of the American Legion, if you have one Winchester rifle hung on a peg in your home it isn't particularly dangerous, either to you or to society; but if you get a big bankroll, and once a week for a period of years buy another Winchester rifle until your house is so filled with them that you can't eat or sleep there, the moment will arrive when those guns of themselves will all want to go bang-bang! They are not so much lumber in the stocks that might otherwise make chair-legs, or so much iron in the barrels that might otherwise make engine-housings. By the sheer fact of being wood and iron, brought together in the pattern of firearms, they all would a-hunting go and blow the eternal gizzards out of anyone in front of 'em ! That's what the Lloyd Georges ask us to believe in regard to world armament.

    "Wait a minute," begs the stickler for facts. "You're not quite right. Of course numbers of guns don't make them explode of themselves. What Lloyd George meant to say, and practically did say, was that the existence of great military organizations and over-equipped armies, made the leaders of those armies just naturally want to fight. It's the same as putting a loaded revolver in a man's hand. He wants to sight along the barrel and pull the trigger, just to see if it will shoot!"

    That's generally the idea of how it is, when Militarism comes in for a raking. And the nitwits nod their heads in approval. But let's not go off half-cocked. Let's look at this thing.

    The "existence of great military organizations makes, them want to fight." ... Is that so? Ho! ... and likewise Hum! Well, why doesn't someone name the specific gentlemen in the British Army, or the German Army, or the French Army, or even in our American Army, who prior to 1914 were so bursting with over-equipped combativeness that the world just had to fight. Was it Lord Kitchener? Was it Field Marshal Haig? Was it Ludendorff or Hindenburg? Was it Papa Joffre or Marshal Foch? Right here at home, have we ever observed that men like General Leonard Wood, Blackjack Pershing, or General MacArthur, ever spoiled for a scrap just because they headed up big numbers of fighting-men? Isn't it a fact that the big-shots at the heads of military machines deplore the whole business, and feel their responsibilities heaviest to keep men out of war?

    Or go on down through the ranks of any army.

    Specifically in the World War — or before it — was it the colonels, the majors, the captains, the first and second lieutenants, or the top-sergeants, who wanted the war? If so, may we ask since when did emperors, diplomatists, prime ministers and generals harken to the gripes of colonels, majors, captains and top-sergeants, that a war should be started so that they could bang-off their fire-sticks? Applesauce!

    Someone, somewhere, was responsible for creating those great military machines because someone, somewhere, expected to use 'em! In this day and age, kings and kaisers and prime ministers and chancellors don't run amuck up and down the earth, doing as they please in international diplomacy. They find themselves quickly accountable to parliaments, reichs, and congresses. The Kitcheners, Haigs, Ludendorffs, Foches and Pershings don't run amuck with the military machines which they head, and force the kings and kaisers to fight; they simply follow orders — like the buck private at the bottom of the system.

    If nobody issued the orders from a higher source, then there would never be a war. That's common sense! So, if we go up the line, past the sergeants and captains and majors and colonels and generals and chancellors and prime ministers and kaisers and kings, and find each of these accountable to some embodiment of authority that's still higher, we must come to the parliaments and reichs and congresses. Were they responsible for the World War? Well, whether or not they were, let's ask ourselves what these parliaments and reichs and congresses are, but aggregations of people's representatives. But did they represent common citizens who wanted to get into uniforms and carve the viscera out of folks across each border? We all know what a howl went up from the masses as the war-clouds mounted higher!

    No! — midway between the citizenry that had to take time off from private pursuits to march forth and get shot, and the political and military bigwigs who took orders from representative parliamentary bodies and carried 'em out, was some provocative influence that convinced the people's representatives in all nations that war was necessary and inevitable. After the convincing had been done — in other words, when the militarism had been set in motion — the rest was executive detail carried into action.

    It's squarely on the shoulders of this Provocative Influence that we can pin the World War's responsibility — just as we can pin additional responsibility right at this moment on the Provocative Influence now working overtime to touch off a Second World War.

    This reasoning is sound, little male children of the American Legion!

    Now let's dig into cold, irrefutable, historical fact and see what the Provocative Influence was, behind the parliaments, reichs, congresses, and political and military big-shots twenty years ago, that ultimately landed most of you in France and kept fifty thousand of you there as very permanent guests....

Chapter III

    Those of us who went overseas and had any contact whatever with the folks of the embattled nations, will be inclined to agree that no particular country or its nationals wanted, caused, or started the World War. It is more or less true that the "nominal rulers," the "terror-stricken dummies," the emasculated diplomatists and statesmen, were unable to prevent the War's outbreak. And yet we do know that the military organizations of all the warring countries were plenty active in preparing for the War, no matter what the emperors, kings, kaisers, diplomatists, or statesmen said, thought, or intended. But these military organizations were merely instrumentalities — effective tools in the hands of some heretofore unmentioned and unseen power. We now summon to our aid the history of Europe. What the statesmen refused to disclose, history commences to reveal.

    And the first revelation we come upon, and are obliged to consider, has to do with Money!

    Wars can't be fought without spondulics. Someone must put up the cash, or be willing to put up the cash, or the kings, diplomatists and statesmen must know where the cash is, whether it comes forth willingly or has to be conscripted. If the bankers of a nation — any nation! — don't want an offensive war, or if they're convinced that war means loss to their coffers, make no mistake about it, they're in a position to stop it before it's even talked about. If you think I'm talking through my hat in this, or want to advance the argument that "it doesn't cost anything to kill a man," I respectfully refer you to any good history of the House of Rothschild.

    I haven't seen any history of the House of Rothschild yet that hasn't contained gloating statements concerning the numbers of times since the beginning of the 19th century that rulers have approached the House of Rothschild for cash for wars. If the Rothschilds decided that the wars looked profitable to themselves, they arranged for the payments and the wars came pronto! If the Rothschilds decided there wouldn't be a whole lot gained, financially, or the risks were too great, or they didn't happen to have the mazuma on the nail at the moment, the rulers went away with a polite turn-down. And there was no conflict!

    From the very beginning of the history of the House of Rothschild — founded on the cash which George III paid the German Landgrave for the "loan" of the Hessian soldiers that composed the bulk of the "British" forces in our American Revolution — that particular Yiddisher financial family has been bankers to the political and military potentates of Europe. At least Central Europe!

    The Rothschilds, of course, are mainly German Jews. Such German Jews, together with Polish Jews and Russian Jews, we call Ashkenazim.

    Ashkenazic Jews, in other words, are the Jews of Germany, Poland, and Russia — with a strong strain of Oriental blood from the Genghis Kahn infusion. When they combine their Hebrew with the German, Polish, or Russian tongues, they get a polyglot language that is popularly called "Yiddish." So it's entirely proper to refer to these oriental Jews as "Yiddishers."...

    But we shouldn't gallop away with the idea that the Yiddisher Rothschilds compose the only mob of Jews overseas that's got money — big money! There are two or three other Jewish fortunes overseas, of which you don't hear so much.

    There's the money of the Samuel family that controls the Dutch Shell Oil Company — in fact, most of the British oil interests in the Levant. There is the money of the Sassoon clan that controls the vast Indian and Chinese dope trade. There is the Mond fortune, the Isaacs fortune, Lord Reading's — and finally the Montagu fortune, Montagu Norman being head of the Bank of England itself.

    I heard a British intelligence officer remark once in a casual conversation that the fortune of the Samuel family — headed up by the "Right Honorable" Herbert Samuel, made a Viscount, if you please, last year! — was greater than Morgan's, greater than Rockefeller's, greater than Ford's.

    These five great families of so-called English Jews — English only because they have resided in Great Britain for generations and intermarried with impoverished English aristocrats — aren't Ashkenazim. In other words, they haven't got the Oriental, Russian, German, or Polish strain in 'em.

    No! All these families, whose vast wealth absolutely dominates the Bank of England, are more accurately classed as Sephardim. They're so-called white Jews — or Jews who a couple of hundred years ago started to interbreed with the more Aryan races of Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France. Finally when they got across to England, they became English jews — as we know 'em. Their Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French and English bloods predominate over their Jewish blood. This gives them the notion that they are very high-class indeed. The big hooked nose which the Ashkenazic Jew acquired from the Assyrian — "schnozzle" if you please! — is missing in the Sephardic Jew. Physically, excepting a certain rubbery cunning about the expression of the eyes, he's come to appear like a Spaniard, an Italian, a Portuguese, a Frenchman, or an Englishman.

    Such persons as Disraeli in yesterday's generation, or Barney Baruch, George Arliss, Sam Insull, or even Franklin D. Roosevelt — whose true ancestral name has come to light under the investigations of the Carnegie Foundation as Rossocampo-Rosenvelt — are outstanding specimens of the Sephardic Jew.

    There is furthermore this difference between the Ashkenazic Jew and the Sephardic Jew:

    The Ashkenazic Jew holds in the main that world Jewry is a race — a political race, so to speak. The Sephardic Jew holds in the main that world Jewry is a religious denomination.

    Both of these claims are capital expediencies when Jews as Jews are having the squeeze put on them for predatory tactics against Gentiles –

    The Ashkenazim shriek "Racial persecution!" The Sephardim screech "Religious intolerance!" Both of these about cover the situation....

    Now, broadly speaking, here's the way we can boil down the money-banker situation as it existed on the Continent prior to 1914: The Ashkenazic Rothschilds had the big bank roll behind Germany and the Central Powers; the Sephardic Samuels had the big bank roll behind France, England and the Allies. A perfectly gorgeous set-up it was, for a knock-down drag-out fight, when we take into consideration one of the outstanding differences of temperament existing between these two Jewish factions –

    Believe it or not, but up to the time when all world Jewry was threatened because of the Nazi ascendancy in Central Europe, the Sephardic Jews looked upon the Ashkenazic Jews with an intolerance and detestation only comparable to the Nazi attitude toward Jews in the Fatherland!

    The Sephardic Jews, as I said, considered themselves the aristocrats of World Jewry — because of their heavy infusion of Aryan blood and their more aesthetic temperament. To them, the Yiddishers were "just human trash" and we don't have to probe far into the annals of Jewry to recognize what a tragedy it was considered, when a Sephardic Jewess fell in love with, and married, an Ashkenazic boy.

    Do you know where the slang term "Kike" came from? I'll tell you, and you can take my word for it that I'm speaking without bias. The slang term "Kike" is a Sephardic-Jewish epithet originated by that caste of Jewry to describe the schnozzle-faced quasi-oriental Ashkenazim whom it detests!

    Although few Gentiles have had cause to be aware of it, the feud between the Sephardim and Ashkenazim, over the past two hundred years, has been strong and bitter.

    Of course there was inter-marrying, and inter-financing between the two groups. But in the main the animosity was something that had to be reckoned with, in Mitteleuropa's politics.

    With this racial background roughly painted in, now we can go one step further and see how these two groups of Jewry influenced overseas affairs before 1914....

Chapter IV

    Back in 1815, at the close of the Napoleonic Wars and before the House of Rothschild was as powerful as it later became, the Congress of Vienna divided up Europe and bartered millions of human beings to the victorious military commanders who had put the squelch on the Little Corporal. Naturally a storm of bitter protest was heard in every corner of the Continent. It took fifty years for the peoples of Europe — after much privation, starvation, and bloodshed — to correct the evils committed by the Congress of Vienna. Germany was consolidated and Italy was unified. The industries of Germany started to boom. So too did the size of the Rothschild fortune. The greater bulk of it was invested in industrial securities in Germany and Austria-Hungary, or in ownership of coal and iron mines and transportation facilities.

    In consequence of all this, the territory of Germany began to show itself as too small to absorb her industrial products. An outside market had to be secured — in fact, if her industries were to sell goods and pay proper dividends, the markets of all the world had to be opened to "Germans" ... a camouflage word for the sponsoring Rothschilds!

    On the other hand, over in Holland and England, the white Sephardic Jews had their money invested heavily in British and Dutch securities. Moreover, their trade was already world-wide and the British into whose official government they were infiltrating — quite as brazenly as they have lately infiltrated into the American government under Roosevelt — had a tradition of "ruling the waves."

    Thus a trade war was inaugurated, bloodless at first, between the great vested interests of Ashkenazic-Jewish Germany and the great vested interests of Sephardic-ruled Britain. The two mighty divisions of World Jewry were slashing and hacking at each other but letting the "German" and "English" people each think that the other as nationals were out to "do" them.

    Now get this, little male children of the American Legion, and let it sink in, for this is the reason that you went overseas to fight in a war — Ashkenazic-Germany's only entrance into the Atlantic Ocean was through the English Channel. Passage of German ships through the Channel was possible only by the consent of Sephardic-Jewish England. This being clear enough, England and Germany (Gentile) began to build battleships to unheard-of proportions. But it was soon discovered that battleships wouldn't secure to Ashkenazic-Jewish Germany the freedom of the seas which the Rothschild interests wanted, or the free and unmolested movement of international trade. Therefore, the Ashkenazic Jews of Rothschild-dominated Germany conceived the idea of building a railroad.

    It was to become called in time the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad! It was to lead from Berlin down into Austria-Hungary, through the Balkans and into Turkey — ending in Bagdad, in Asia.

    Over this railroad, Ashkenazic-Jewish Germany could reach the larger portion of the world's population and transact most of the international commerce of the world without interference from the Sephardic Jews of Britain.

    That is to say, whoever would have control of the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad would have control of the greatest bulk of the international commerce of the world. But the control and successful operation of the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad necessitated the control of the territories through which it passed.

    Therefore the plan of "Mitteleuropa" was conceived!

    Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Balkans, and Turkey, were to be controlled by the owners of the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad — that is, the Ashkenazic Rothschilds.

    The "Pan-German Movement," the shibboleth of "Deutschland Uber Alles," and all those other idiotic utterances which the Jews love so dearly to put into the mouths of Gentiles, were slogans for this plan. The "integrity" of the Austria-Hungarian monarchy was indispensable, therefore Hungary was forced under the despotic control of the Austrian Crown.

    While the plan of the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad was being promoted, however, another movement got under way. It came from Russia. On paper it was called the "Pan Slavic Movement."

    Russia, a big and rich country, had no ice-free outlet to the high seas. The Baltic is frozen during the greater part of the year. The Black Sea is an inland waterway and its only outlet to the Mediterranean Sea is at Constantinople. To secure this outlet, Russia would have to control the Dardanelles and a part of the Balkans.

    In 1877, Russia had made an effort to obtain control of this outlet, and declared war upon Turkey under the still popular pretext that "the Turks had mistreated the Christians" in the Balkans. Turkey was thrashed, the "Christians" were forgotten, but Constantinople was seized by Russia.

    Now mark this –

    A growing feud was arising between the Jews of the world, particularly the Ashkenazic Jews, and the Throne of the Romanoffs. Russia as an empire was so vast, her resources so tremendous, and her government so absolute, that the Jews couldn't get their talons into her flesh as they had into Germany's or England's. The Czar's government rarely had to borrow money from Continental Jewish pawnbrokers — whom Father Coughlin designates so courteously as "the international bankers" — or if it did, it never met with much embarrassment paying such loans back. Furthermore, because the Czar's military commanders found that wherever Jews were domiciled near army cantonments they invariably sold military secrets to Russia's enemies, and still further, because Jewish loan sharks were foreclosing mortgages on vast areas of the land of ignorant peasants, the Czar's government had issued some particularly strong edicts against the Jews, which made that race view the Romanoffs with deadly hatred.

    They were out to "get" the Romanoffs, and in the end they succeeded — the Lenin-Stalin government of Bolshevia being the achievement. We'll come to that later.

    The Romanoffs were by no means fools, and they kept accurate track of what these international mischief-makers proposed to do in the matter of splitting Europe from Berlin to Bagdad with a railroad. The Czar's government saw immediately that if the Rothschilds got their railroad down to Bagdad, they would have the first clutch at Russia by shutting off her world commerce and commence to make her pay through the nose.

    To go back to 1877, however, when Russia thrashed Turkey and got control of the Dardanelles, the Ashkeniazic Jews of the central European countries were furious. So for once they made common cause with the Sephardim of England — the Sephardic Jew, Disraeli, being English Prime Minister at the time — and presented to the British Gentiles that Russia in control of the Dardanelles was a menace to Britannia's ruling the waves. Therefore it wasn't difficult to get the British to step into the Turkish situation and force the Czar to relinquish.

    Take note that even back there in those days, the common soldiers — fellows like ourselves — who had fought and bled and died that Russia might shellac Turkey, made their "sacrifices" all in vain when the Jews of the world had a plan to work out to promote their own interests.

    England blocked the scheme of Russia to get an ice-free outlet to the high seas, and this act caused Russia to become the sworn enemy of what appeared — on the surface to be Germany, Austria, and England. Truly it caused Russia, or the monarchy of the Romanoffs, to become the sworn enemies of the Jews who controlled Germany, Austria, and England — Ashkenazim and Sephardim alike.

    Right there, in that situation, lay the "makin's" of the war that all the weak-kneed diplomatists and statesmen of the world have been charging up to the militarists and German monarchists. Right there, in that situation, lay the "makin's" of the conflict that you and I — in utter ignorance of all this internal Jewish skulduggery — were persuaded to go overseas and fight under the slogan that we were going "to make the world safe for Democracy."

    Sheep-dip!

Chapter V

    So in those peaceful years before 1914, the big Rothschild Jews of Germany were going ahead with their plans for a Berlin-Bagdad Railroad that was to bottle up Russia at the Dardanelles and smash the world-wide commerce of the French and English Sephardic Jews of Paris and London. If, however, Germany could be "isolated," or a first-class war made to break out that ended with the everlasting daylights walloped out of her, then the construction of this Berlin-Bagdad project could be effectively "dynamited."... The English Sephardim were past masters at the job of building "coalitions," and they had the money to act as pay-mistress of Britain's "allies."... Why not, with the Bank of England in their control? Furthermore, the Sephardic Jews of France were more closely related to them than the quasi-oriental "kikes" of Germany and Austria.

    On the other hand, Russia hated those same "kikes" of Germany more than she did the Sephardim of England.

    So many minor differences with France were patched up, and in 1904 the two predominantly Sephardic countries entered into a combination, against the Ashkenazic countries-called the Entente Cordiale. But the Ashkenazic crowd saw the jam they were making for themselves, and engineered the Triple Alliance — Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.

    For this combination, the Entente Cordiale was no match. Therefore the Sephardim of England, working through their Gentile Fronts of aristocratic British old-family statesmen, enticed Russia to join the Entente Cordiale, and thus the Triple Entente was formed — England, France, and Russia — the "Allies" to you!

    Russia's entry into the Triple Entente was obtained by reason of the fact that the plan for the Berlin-Bagdad-Rothschild railway crossed up the Russian plan of reaching an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea. The railway was to cross the Turkish Channels at Constantinople, where Russia planned to reach the sea. Thus, with the help of Gentile Czardom, Sephardic England could effectively block the development and completion of the Rothschild project that otherwise would have put both Romanoffs and Sephardim at the mercy of the Ashkenazim.

    Here we have a complete picture of the European Situation. And if you think I'm hatching it' up out of my own brain, let me tell you that a lot of what I'm giving you can be found in Document 346 of the records of the 67th Congress of the United States. Only it won't do you any good to go writing to Washington for Document 346. Believe me, although done at the government printing office, it's long since been "exhausted." And never reprinted! You bet it wasn't!

    From 1907 to 1914, Europe was divided into two powerful camps: the Triple Entente — "Allies" to you, again ! — guarding the interests of the Romanoffs and the Sephardim, and the Triple Alliance — the "Central Powers " — guarding the Berlin-Bagdad-Rothschild scheme to thus get the Romanoffs and the Sephardim over a barrel.

    Of course, both camps saw to it that the Gentile nations involved armed themselves to the teeth. With these big capitalistic Jews practically dictating to the press — exactly as they're doing here in the United States at the present moment — this was a push-over. The poisoned pen was put to work and virulent propaganda put into operation to create the maximum of international hatred. The Ashkenazim told the gullible Germans that France and England were out to "do" 'em, deny 'em a place in the sun, and steal their colonies. "Gott strafe England!" was the slogan fed to the poor Heinies for breakfast, dinner, and supper. The common people of England, France, and Russia, did not know what or who was behind all the arming of Germany. The Kaiser was just the semi-paralytic figure-head that went about thinking he bossed the Fatherland. But he personalized "German aggression," and the English and French Gentiles fell for the hoax by the millions. Why not, when they couldn't get any other information? The Sephardim went the Ashkenazim ten better, in cooking up propaganda, for they had the most at stake if the latter won out.

    In England, the big-shot Sephardic Jew at the head of the British press was Lord Northcliffe, who early in life had taken the Aryan name of Alfred Harmsworth. He played the game of the Sephardic-Samuels crew to the limit, creating a psychology throughout the British Empire that war was "inevitable."

    Sure it was "inevitable " — because the Ashkenazic mob was determined to use the armies of German Gentiles to fight for its project to a finish, and the Sephardim were just as determined that they were going to use the armies of English, French — and later American — Gentiles to see that the Ashkenazim were stopped.

    It was "inevitable" in Jewish minds only, and for Jewish purposes and profits. Today, here in America, we're witnessing the same sort of satanic skulduggery as night after night our newspapers tell us that war against both Hitler and Japan is "inevitable."

    More sheep-dip!

    Here's an interesting sidelight on how much the dummy rulers of the later-embattled peoples wanted war.

    Did you know that back in November, 1910, while the (Jewish) subsidized press of each of the countries to be involved were feeding their poison of international hatred to their readers, and while the uniformed imbeciles and paid stooges of these Jewish blocs were shouting for war, two rulers — the Emperor of Germany and the Czar of Russia — sat quietly down to a lunch-table in Potsdam and earnestly discussed ways and means to avert the threatened hostilities?

    There at a lunch-table, undisturbed by the howlings of the Jew-paid war maniacs, these two rulers worked out between themselves a just basis for a peaceful existence of the two countries. Germany was to acknowledge Russia's control over access through Persia to the high seas, and Russia — at least the Romanoff court — was to withdraw her opposition to the "German" plan of building the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad.

    This is history, and the event is of historical importance! Civilized mankind might ponder it with great moral benefit. The two rulers came together, without any Yiddisher or Sephardic kibitzers present — just as Hitler, Mussolini and Chamberlain did the other day over in Munich — and settled a vexatious problem, or so they supposed, by a peaceful two-hour discussion over a lunch-table. If this could he done, and was done, why was a disastrous four-year war sprung upon the nations of the world?

    The answer is simple –

    What these "dummy" rulers said or did was no part of the schemes, rivalries, and hatreds of these swollen-with-power Jewish financial groups. The quasi-oriental Ashkenazim were out to smash or harness the Sephardim in the matter of international trade and finance. And the means that each side proposed to use in the final extremity was the Gentile armies of the countries involved. Therefore the agreement of the Kaiser and the Czar not to fight and thus commit national suicide, was "frustrated."...

    In other words, when the show-down came, they had precious little to say about it. The Kaiser's court was almost entirely staffed with big-shot Ashkenazic Yiddishers. The Barney Baruch of Germany in those days was the Jew Walter Rathenau. This was the same Jew who shipped Lenin across Germany in the latter days of the war, to overthrow and exterminate the Romanoffs. "Three hundred men," he once said, "not generally known to the public, govern the fate of Europe!" He did not add that the three hundred were big-shot Jews or that kaisers and czars were by no means among them.

    Here's another instance –

    In order to fight a war in Europe to determine whether or not the Rothchilds' Berlin-Bagdad Railroad was going through, there had to be people who wanted war, and armies and navies which would do the fighting, and finally, money on which to finance it. France and England had the armies, navies, and money, but no people who wanted war. Germany had all the requirements because there the Jews were more firmly entrenched in official positions. But the Sephardic financiers began their "financial mobilization" in that they quietly began recalling any loans they had in Germany. And the German financiers just as quietly began to cache their war boodle outside of Germany, knowing that the fighting might come in that country and their money be subject to seizure. When the German Kaiser called together the "German" financiers just after the abortive Morocco Incident and asked them to prepare Germany's finances for war, the "German" financiers politely informed them that there would be no war because the "German" gold was at that time out of Germany. That settled the question of war. The Gentiles of France and England hadn't been sufficiently steamed up to the point where such a war would gain the objectives that the Jews desired.

    So you see, little male children of the American Legion, what is revealed when the curtain is rolled back and the "international financiers" — in other words, world-plotting Yidds! — are discovered in their true roles. They did not recognize the "opportunity" for war to be "favorable," and there was no war.

    The "inevitable" outbreak of the war came when the world-plotting Yidds decided that propaganda in all countries had the Gentiles plenty heated up so that their war would not misfire. Serbia particularly was made a hot-bed of poisonous propaganda. The Serbian propagandists invaded Austria and Hungary, poured out money like water, and created disturbances. International hatred in France — against "the Huns" — was worked up to hysterical pitch. War was in the air. War "had to come." Only a good pretext had to be found.

    In 1912-13 another attempt was made to "feel out" the people and to test the time, whether or not it was favorable for conflict. The Balkan War broke out. Russia and Austria mobilized. But the opportunity was "not favorable" and there was no war till the following August.

    But the agitation continued — exactly as the Roosevelt-Jewish crowd is keeping up the agitation here today for a mix-up with Germany and Japan. Each nation sold its people on the "necessity" for arming to the teeth. The peoples of every nation were groaning under the weight of heavy armaments, but the Invisible Power (Jewish) continued with feverish energy the preparation of the public mind for the conflict that was coming.

    This propaganda assumed such alarming proportions that on one occasion the Gentile Lord Welby, of the English Treasury, cried: "We are in the hands of an organization of crooks!" Sure he was! Jewish crooks! The Rothschilds had to be kept from building a railroad, though a dozen nations were wrecked in doing it!

    The drive to create the pretext for war was now concentrated in Serbia. The foci of trouble were recognized again at the intersection of "German" and Russian plans. To force the issue, Hungary was terrorized by the Serbian propagandists and agents provocateur. Finally the directors of the plan resorted to plain murder.

    Two young Jews, misnamed "students," were selected and carefully trained by "Serbian" officials, and supplied with weapons of murder from the arsenals of Serbia, and then sent out on their villainous journey.

    On June 28, 1914, these two young Heebs assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, together with his wife at his side.

    Thus by a carefully planned murder, the fuse was lit and the great conflagration started.

    The plan for the murder was hatched in Serbia. But get this, little male children of the American Legion — The bill for the job was paid from London.

    Were the Sephardim on the job of smashing the Rothschilds' railroad scheme — or were they not?

    The payment was made directly through the Serbian Legation stationed at London. In proof of this statement, John Bull, an English publication, printed a letter written on the official sheet of the Serbian Legation at London, date April 5, 1914 — note that date! — which, decoded, read as follows –

    For the elimination of F. F. (Franz Ferdinand,) the sum 2,000 pounds sterling, will be paid as follows: 1,000 pounds on your arrival in Belgrade (capital of Serbia) by the hands of Mr. G and the rest of 1,000 pounds on finishing the work paid as above. The sum of 200 pounds for expenses and to pay agents.

    In other words, the young Jew Princip, who fired the shot that started the world war and in due course of time made you American Legionnaires when your country had been propagandized into joining all the brilliant business, got ten grand in American cash for the murder, and one grand for the expense of getting to Belgrade from London.

    And they talk about Germany's having started the war! — not that I'm doing any apologizing for Germany, but the facts are the facts!

    The fuse was lit. The German Emperor frantically sent his telegrams to the Czar begging him to avert the catastrophe. The Czar as frantically replied that the German Kaiser should stop the war. The French and English statesmen kept the wires sizzling, appealing to all and sundry to stop the war. But war had to come. The Ashkenazim and Sephardim had fixed it all up so that war was "inevitable."... As Lloyd George said, the "terror-stricken dummies" could not stop the war.

    The uncrowned and invisible rulers of Europe (Jewish) decreed that there should be war. And there was war! And was it a war?

    You American' Legion lads should know! You went out and did your share of stopping the German pig-iron, that the Rothschild railroad should become a flop!

Chapter VI

    Now, having said this much, I'm going, still further and tell you lads more, of what patsies these big-shot Jews made of you, that the world might be kept safe for Sephardic Democracy.

    The War had scarcely been going a year, and English Tommies and French poilus were still wondering "what it was all about," when the Sephardic Jews of the Allied nations got together and signed among themselves what they called the Treaty of London.

    This Treaty of London, entered into by the Allied Powers on April 26, 1915, proved definitely that the main purpose of the whole stramash was to exterminate the power of the German "kike."

    In that Treaty, central Europe and a part of Asia were divided and distributed among England, France, Italy, Rumania, Russia, Serbia, and Montenegro, as follows –

    England was to receive the neutral zones of Persia, southern Mesopotamia and Bagdad — all with their heavy oil deposits, and a portion of the German colonies.

    France was to get Syria and the oil fields of Mosul, Alsace-Lorraine and the Saar Valley — rich in iron mines and smelters, temporary occupation of the left bank of the Rhine, and a goodly chunk of the German colonies;

    Italy was to receive the Trentino, Triest and Istria, a generous share of the Dalmatian coasts, Smyrna and its hinterland, and numerous islands too bothersome to mention — in lieu of all which, she deserted the Entente Cordiale as most of us recall;

    Russia was to receive Constantinople and nearly the whole of Turkey in Europe, the Bosporous, the Dardanelles, and the Sea of Marmora, and full liberty of action in Persia.

    Serbia, Rumania, and Montenegro were to have what was left of the loot parceled out among 'em.

    It was a Jewish burglar's deal from send-off, and even Woodrow Wilson didn't know about it when the Warburg's and the rest of the Jewish crew finagling us into the mess of it, forced him to declare war over the Lusitania sinking.

    The man actually thought that the German Kaiser threatened the world's Democracy. He sat in the White House and wrote scholarly papers while Baruch ran the shebang from the Sephardic standpoint. When he came to go to Europe for the Peace Conference, after you little male children of the American Legion had left fifty thousand of your buddies lying stark in No Man's Land for the Messrs. Rothschilds' railroad, he found out right enough what the war had been about.

    "There is a power in Europe with which I cannot cope!" he reported on his return back here to the United States.

    He didn't, however, give it a racial designation!

    You fellows were called up from farm and mine, and out of office and factory. The Sephardim, needing you to fight their battles and make certain that the Messrs. Rothschilds' railroad was smashed, painted the Heinies as being next to human savages — precisely as the same poisonous propaganda is stating today, because Hitler cleaned up Germany and kicked all such Jewish burglars out — and you consented to be drafted and sent to camp as rookies.

    You thought the United States was in horrid danger, or your "Democracy" was, and Georgie Cohan wrote Over There! and the regiments began to march down Fifth Avenue in New York, and pretty soon Blackjack Pershing announced that the first contingent of Yanks had landed in France.

    How the Sephardic Jews of London must have smiled in smug satisfaction when they had put that one over on you! Reports came out from under cover after the war, in which they practically bragged that it cost Sephardic Great Britain something like 37 cents a head to convert you Americans into doing their battling against the German Ashkenazim for them!

    You don't need to get overly mad yet; there's more coming. I haven't finished yet telling you just what went on behind your backs while Mr. Barney Baruch was the real War Boss of the United States.

    Had there only been a single purpose behind the World War, namely, the defeat of Rothschild Germany, the division of Europe and a part of Asia, and to secure for the Sephardic financiers the absolute control of commerce and finance, the war could not — and would not! — have lasted six months! But after it got nicely going, the Jews in both camps met up with a surprise.

    They discovered the ease with which they could infiltrate their own people into official positions previously held inviolate to Gentiles!

    Furthermore, on both sides they discovered the stupendous war profits that they could reap, while the Gentiles bought the bonds, did the fighting, and paid the bills.

    They had stumbled onto the mightiest racket in all creation, and something like four millions of them were not slow to get over here into the United States during the four war years and take advantage of it from the American angle.

    Jews on both sides, I say, discovered the titanic opportunity presented to them to make money, which in turn meant world power and prestige after the mighty spectacle was ended.

    The Jews promoted that war as a business — just as today through all this Relief blither, they're promoting the Depression as a business! No matter how many millions have to sacrifice and suffer! What of it? They're only Gentiles!

    Now get this, you boys who recall something of what France was like in wet weather, or what the front trenches were like the night of a barrage –

    The question of the duration of the World War hinged upon the ability of Germany to obtain sufficient iron ore from which munitions could be manufactured. In May, 1915, in a confidential report, the six great industrial and agricultural associations of Germany advised Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg that "if the production of the Lorraine ore was disturbed, the war would be practically lost."

    Engerand, a member of the French Honse of Deputies, says that the German metallurgists had frequently declared that if the German ore mines had been attacked by the French army, "the war would have been finished in six months, with the defeat of Germany."

    In a heated debate in the French House of Deputies, after an investigation conducted by that law-making, body, it came out that the control of the war was in the hands of a few international Jewish families!

    These families controlled most of the raw materials used in the manufacture of munitions. Furthermore, they controlled most of the factories making munitions. It appears further that they controlled both the civil governments and the military organizations of both Germany and France.

    The French Deputy's report said bluntly –

    "Some of the most notable of these families are the deVendel family, the Thyssen family, the Krupp family, and above them all, the famous international family of the Rothschilds, who are Jews by religion and Barons of Germany, France, and Austria, by business! These ubiquitous families are so interspersed in the various countries that in some of them they are native-born citizens, in other countries they are naturalized citizens. Some of these citizens were found to be members of the governments of opposite warring countries!"

    Isn't it an ironical circumstance, little male children of the American Legion, that I'm telling you about these families and naming them to some of you for the first time, and yet for twenty months you worked for them in your 'khaki' uniforms and knew next to nothing about it! You thought you were working for Uncle Sam! The Jews put it over on you!

    To speak bluntly, my lads, THEY PLAYED YOU FOR A CROWD OF SUCKERS!

    Furthermore, I interrupt myself to tell you that they're still playing you for a mob of suckers.

    I know more than you do about 'em, and before I get through I'll convince you of it — provided you're Gentile!

Chapter VII

    Can you still take it, or are you about ready at this point to throw my booklet aside and dismiss me with the execration that I must be a Nazi agent?

    Anyhow, I haven't come yet to the most insufferable part, by a long shot. You'd better stick with me. Maybe you'll need a few facts to bring up in your next Legion meeting when somebody challenges the probability of the whole of it.

    The principal iron mines, smelters, and coal mines of Germany and France, I tell you, were — and still are — located immediately on both sides of the pre-war political boundary line separating the two countries in the Lorraine section.

    On the French side there is a very extensive ore section known as the Basin of Briey. In the same region there are extensive coal fields known as the Basin of Bruay.

    These iron fields, iron mines, smelters, and coal mines were, before and during the world war, the private property of a few international families or a few international corporations. The deVendel family owned in one property some 25,000 acres of iron land, one-half of which was in German territory and the other half in French territory!

    In another property, in the French Basin, the deVendel family, with the Creusot interests — the Krupps of France — owned eight blast furnaces and iron ore mines producing a million tons yearly. On the German side the deVendel family owned mining concessions at Meyeurre and Hayange producing three million tons of ore a year — with blast furnaces and smelters near those mines. In all, the deVendel family controlled about 200,000 acres of iron land in that section.

    The Germans, on the other hand, owned eighteen mining concessions in the Briey and Longwy Basin and a few more in Normandy. The Thyssens controlled the mines of Bailly, Jouville and Souligny. The mines of Montlers were controlled by an international group — their stocks being divided: French, 100; German, 70; and Belgian 10.

    The German "Phoenix" group — Hasper and Koesch — controlled the French mines at Jarny and Saucy. I could go on for a couple more pages, giving you the data on these ownerships. But you get the idea. And I think you grasp that I know what I'm talking about.

    One day, before war was declared, the German army proceeded to seize the French Basin of Briey.

    The French Government immediately ordered the French troops to withdraw eight miles from that section! 46

    Thus the Germans occupied that important iron territory without the slightest resistance.

    Was the war that you fellows were commanded to go and fight in the name of Democracy, a "set-up," or was it not?

    How many of you are aware that the "front" through the Basin of Briey was practically "quiet" throughout the whole war? It was said that not a single man had ever been killed there, until the American army began its drive there against the Germans!

    You see, no one seemed to have told Blackjack Pershing that he and his Yanks had been hoaxed into a "set-up" war. He, and they, started to slam-bang in as though it were a regular war, really to save democracy.

    The moment the Yanks started in to make a mess of Briey, the whole war collapsed. It would have collapsed six months after it began — and America never have been pulled into it at all — if the Jews hadn't come to an agreement among themselves to keep it going because of the kale they were piling up, and because there were plenty of Gentiles to fight it!

    In the Basin of Briey, about 25 miles behind the front, was the most important iron field from which the Germans dug the greater part of the ore used for their munitions. The German smelters were there, working day and night, preparing iron for ammunition destined to kill French soldiers and later, Americans!

    How could Germans mine their fourteen million tons of iron ore 25 miles behind the front, and how could the Krupps manufacture munitions from that ore, if the French or English had bombarded those works and disturbed the peaceful operation of the smelters? Likewise, how could the French mine their 28,000 tons of coal per day, if the "Germans" had recklessly and discourteously bombarded those mines only ten to twelve miles behind the French lines?

    The principal business of the international Jewish owners of those mines was to make money during the war! — Berlin-Bagdad Railroad or no Berlin-Bagdad Railroad.

    If the Germans had been dislodged from the iron ore fields of Briey — according to the German metallurgists — "the war would have been finished with the defeat of Germany, within six months," that is, by January 1, 1915. But if the war had come to a conclusion so swiftly, those international Yiddisher interests could not have made their millions, the Krupps could not have manufactured so much ammunition, and there would have been left several million Gentiles alive to oppose the aggressions of predatory Jews. During the war, however, business was business.

    The German, English, French, and Belgian international Jewish families were bent on making money, reaping the rich harvest of Gentile dollars-and blood — that eleven years later was to produce the most gigantic international bankruptcy that the world has ever seen. What did they care about life, liberty, and happiness of Gentiles? Sure there were a few Jewish lads here and there in the war. But whenever did the big-shot Jews care much whether their own lower-bracket flesh-and-blood took a rap or two, if the more sizable interests of world Jewry were served?

    The enormity of the situation was pointed out by Gustav Tery, editor of L'Ouevre, of Paris, on May 22, 1917. That was about the time we were coming into the "set-up," remember? He declared that in the minutes of the general meeting, of the blast furnace and steel-mill corporation of Caen, held on March 14, 1916, "it is specified that the Thyssen (German branch of the family) interests, are carefully preserved in the new organization. It is understood that a part of the profits realized by this company in the making of war munitions (for France!) will be put aside for the Thyssen (German!) group, and that, after the war, automatically and legally, the Messrs. Thyssen will receive this large sum!

    That's the kind of

Okay, I'm not sure this info fits here, so if it doesn't, then feel free to move it.

Anyway, here's some info I've been compiling on what happened to the Germans after the war "ended" (IMO, the war against Germany and the German people did NOT end in 1945)

James Bacque on Post WW2 Germany- Treatment of German Civilians

Audio- James Bacque interviewed by Mike Harris on Short End of the Stick radio show on RBN, December 30, 2011, scroll down, show's archives are near the bottom, (interview starts about 15-20 minutes into show)

http://www.republicbroadcasting.org/arc ... d=archives (okay, I don't think this link is going to work anymore--may need someone who is a subscriber to post it)

(And, FYI, the one thing I'm not completely sure about is the info Bacque provides about Hoover and the food-aid charity. The only reason I'm somewhat suspicious because Deanna Spingola has talked about and written in her book that Hoover was a "Rothschild agent" and that the Beligian Relief Fund he was involved with during the WW1 era was a complete fraud. She has also suggested that the same may be going on today w/some of the major charity organizations after disasters like earthquakes, etc.,  especially those that are run/coordinated by the elite, like Clinton and Bush collecting money for victims of the Asian tsunami....But at the same time, I think I've recently read some interesting info about Hoover---like maybe he wasn't the bad guy he was made out to be, and maybe he spoke out against FDR and the war?? )

Mark Weber- An Unknown Holocaust: Mass Killing, `Ethnic Cleansing' and Brutal Mistreatment of Germans by the Victorious Allies

Weber reviews the little-known story of misery and death imposed by the victors on defeated Germany in the aftermath of World War II. The Allied powers imposed an "unknown holocaust" of destruction, looting, starvation, rape, "ethnic cleansing," and mass killing. More than 14 million Germans were expelled or forced to flee from eastern and central Europe. Some three million Germans died needlessly — about two million civilians, mostly women, children and elderly, and one million prisoners of war. Weber also highlights the Allied double standard in putting German leaders to death for policies that the Allies themselves were carrying out, sometimes on a far greater scale.


Books on Post WW2 Germany:

Here are some good books. If you don't have time to read them (like me) these summaries still help to fill out the picture a bit (reviews over at amazon are also helpful):

Veronica Clark says this is the best book on what happened in post ww2 Germany:

Hellstorm: The Death Of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947 By Thomas Goodrich

http://www.amazon.com/Hellstorm-Death-N ... 097138522X

Summary:  It was the most deadly and destructive war in human history. Millions were killed, billions in property was destroyed, ancient cultures were reduced to rubble--World War II was truly man's greatest cataclysm. Thousands of books, movies and documentary films have been devoted to the war. There has never been such a terrible retelling of the story, however, as one will find in Hellstorm. In a chilling "you-are-there" style, the author places the reader at the scene, in the moment. Throughout this book readers will see what Allied airman saw as they rained down death on German cities; or the reader will experience what those below experienced as they sat trembling in their bomb shelters awaiting that very same death from above. The reader will view up close the horrors of the Eastern Front during the last months of fighting and through the mud, blood and madness of combat they may come to understand how the same German soldiers, who only moments before had destroyed an enemy tank, could now risk their own lives to rescue the trapped Soviet crew inside. Readers will witness for themselves the fate of German women as the rampaging Red Army raped and murdered its way across Europe--all females, from "eight to eighty" feared the dreaded words, "Frau Komm." The worst nautical disasters in history which claimed thousands of lives, the greatest mass migration known to man in which millions perished, the fate of those wretched victims in post-war death camps and torture chambers, these and many other dark secrets of World War II now come to light in Hellstorm.

Crimes and Mercies: The Fate of German Civilians Under Allied Occupation, 1944-1950  By James Bacque

Summary: More than 9 million Germans died as a result of deliberate Allied starvation and expulsion policies after World War II—one quarter of the country was annexed, and about 15 million people expelled in the largest act of ethnic cleansing the world has ever known. Over 2 million of these alone, including countless children, died on the road or in concentration camps in Poland and elsewhere. That these deaths occurred at all is still being denied by Western governments.

At the same time, Herbert Hoover and Canadian Prime Minister MacKenzie King created the largest charity in history, a food-aid program that saved an estimated 800 million lives during three years of global struggle against post–World War II famine—a program they had to struggle for years to make accessible to the German people, who had been excluded from it as a matter of official Allied policy.

Never before had such revenge been known. Never before had such compassion been shown. The first English-speaking writer to gain access to the newly opened KGB archives in Moscow and to recently declassified information from the renowned Hoover Institution in California, James Bacque tells the extraordinary story of what happened to these people and why.



Other Losses: An Investigation into the Mass Deaths of German Prisoners at the Hands of the French and Americans after World War II  By James Bacque

Summary:  Other Losses caused an international scandal when first published in 1989 by revealing that Allied Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower's policies caused the death of some 1,000,000 German captives in American and French internment camps through disease, starvation and exposure from 1944 to 1949, as a direct result of the policies of the western Allies, who, with the Soviets, ruled as the Military Occupation Government over partitioned Germany from May 1945 until 1949.

An attempted book-length disputation of Other Losses, was published in 1992, featuring essays by British, American and German revisionist historians (Eisenhower and the German POWs: Facts Against Falsehood). However, that same year Bacque flew to Moscow to examine the newly-opened KGB archives, where he found meticulously and exhaustively documented new proof that almost one million German POWs had indeed died in those Western camps.

One of the historians who supports Bacque's work is Colonel Ernest F. Fisher, 101st Airborne Division, who in 1945 took part in investigations into allegations of misconduct by U.S. troops in Germany and later became a senior historian with the United States Army. In the foreword to the book he states: "Starting in April 1945, the United States Army and the French Army casually annihilated about one million [German] men, most of them in American camps ... Eisenhower's hatred, passed through the lens of a compliant military bureaucracy, produced the ¬horror of death camps unequalled by anything in American military ¬history ... How did this enormous war crime come to light? The first clues were uncovered in 1986 by the author James Bacque and his assistant.

This updated third edition of Other Losses exists not to accuse, but to remind us that no country can claim an inherent innocence of or exemption from the cruelties of war.
