Once again we have another round-number date to observe: the
70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland.
Once again
we are told that we must observe it with "shame and guilt."
We must
declare ad nauseam that "...never ever again from German
soil..." etc., etc.
But what
else could we expect from such an occupation regime as ours?
As the
Springer publication "Welt am Sonntag" laments in its issue of
30th August 2009: "...It is discouraging that at the solemn and
imposing Polish observance of the beginning of the War, which
took place at the place where it began, the Danziger
Westerplatte, no heads of state of Western nations participated
except Angela Merkel."
We are told
that it would have been a good thing "...if the West, through
its presence in Danzig, had solemnized the great suffering that
occurred in Eastern Europe and not just Poland."
In other
Establishment publications the story goes that Adolf Hitler on 1
September 1939 "ignited World War II;" "released world
conflagration;" "set out to conquer the world;" and other such
claptrap.
The truth is
that the German-Polish war began on 1 September 1939, and this
local war became a European war with England's and France's
declaration of war against the Third Reich on 3 September.
The European
War became World War II on 12 September 1941, when President
Roosevelt instructed the American navy to sink any German
warships it encountered.
(On that
occasion the American Secretary of the Navy remarked laconically
that the US had entered the war but the American people did not
know it yet.)
The truth is
that Poland, which had long been under Russian rule, was
reestablished as an independent state by Germany and Austria in
1916.
As thanks
for this generous act, regular units of the Polish army joined
Korfanty armed bands and began seizing purely German districts
in Upper Silesia and Western Prussia.
In response
to German electoral victories in every region that held a
plebiscite, they initiated a reign of terror; and thanks to
French backing, Poland was allowed to keep these German
districts.
Under the
Dictate of Versailles Poland was given a "corridor" to the
Baltic Sea, along with large areas of West Prussia that were
populated by Germans.
This
"corridor" completely separated East Prussia from the Reich,
making trade and communication difficult or impossible.
During
Allied discussions on the peace treaty, Lloyd George, the
English Prime Minister during the First World War, tapped this
spot on the map and predicted "This is where the next world war
will begin!"
Unlike the
Western leaders, Hitler had realistically evaluated the dangers
posed by the bolshevik Soviet Union.
He realized
that Germany would be unable resist the Soviet Union without an
alliance with Poland.
For this
reason he signed a nonaggression treaty with Poland in 1934.
President
Pilsudski in turn realized that Poland could not simultaneously
conduct hostilities against its two powerful neighbors Germany
and the Soviet Union.
In addition
to seizing German districts, Poland had grabbed White Russian
and Ukrainian districts after the Russian Empire had been
weakened by the First World War.
The present
eastern border of Poland, which the Soviet Union established in
1939, corresponds to the ethnic border.
With its
wars of aggression, Poland had overreached this line, making the
Soviet Union its enemy.
The German
minority had been disfranchised in the 1920s, and in the 1930s
it was subjected to open terror, murder and rape, especially in
the months preceding September 1939.
Under the
nonaggression treaty German newspapers were not allowed to
report on Polish atrocities against the minority Germans, which
led to the emigration of a million Germans.
Another
million remained behind in German regions that had been seized
by the Poles.
A popular
song about the Poles that originated among the fighting home
defense units in Upper Silesia was rewritten in National
Socialist songbooks to suggest that the struggle was not against
"Pjorunje" but rather "Bolschewike."
Hitler badly
wanted an accommodation with Poland.
Until the
month of April 1939, National Socialist propaganda continued to
include the names of deceased President Pilsudski and Foreign
Minister Beck among the "great statesmen of Europe."
In contrast
to his general officers, who with their friends and relatives
had had large landholdings in the regions now occupied by
Poland, Hitler did not insist on re-establishing the 1914
border.
Instead, he
offered the sizeable concession of limiting Germany's demands to
a plebiscite in West Prussia and nowhere else.
He proposed
that in the event the plebiscite favored Germany, the city and
harbor of Gdingen would remain Polish territory, along with an
extraterritorial freeway extending from Poland through West
Prussia to the harbor.
In case the
plebiscite favored Poland, Germany would be allowed to build an
extraterritorial freeway from Pomerania to East Prussia so that
bothersome border controls could be eliminated.
In addition
Danzig, which was 98% German and under mandate of the League of
Nations, would be allowed to join the Reich, in keeping with the
preference of the population of Danzig.
Publicly and
privately, Hitler indicated that this would be Germany's last
territorial claim since it would undo the mischief done at
Versailles.
Although his
proposal was decidedly moderate, the Poles reacted with
obstinacy, bolstered in their hard line by Britain.
For 300
years Britain had pursued a "Balance of Power" policy of allying
herself with the second most powerful nation against the most
powerful.
This policy
had allowed Britain to cover its rear while establishing a world
empire.
In
accordance with this plan, Britain in 1935 reached a naval
agreement with Germany that limited the German fleet to 1/3 the
size of the English fleet.
(At that
time France was more powerful militarily than Germany.)
Hitler
wanted to assure Britain that a naval arms race would not occur
again - Kaiser Wilhelm had initiated such a contest and it led
to Britain's declaration of war in 1914.
By 1938,
Germany had become more powerful than France and, in keeping
with its "Balance of Power" policies, Britain again adopted an
anti German policy.
This led to
the British government's protesting Austria's joining the Reich,
even though 99% of Austrians had voted for unification in the
plebiscite.
Britain has
never acknowledged other nations' right of self-determination,
whether in India (where those who favored independence were tied
to English cannon) or in Ireland (where almost the entire
population was annihilated because they would not submit to
British domination.)
It is a
mistake to maintain that the entry of German troops into
Czechoslovakia on 15 March 1939 brought about a change in
Britain's policy toward the Reich.
This must be
said about Czechoslovakia: in this clumsily cobbled-together
country, a minority of Czechs ruled three million Germans as
well as Slovaks, Ruthenians, Poles and Hungarians.
All these
ethnic splinter groups wanted to rejoin their nations but were
brutally prohibited by the Czechs from doing so.
The reason
for this was that under the Dictate of Versailles, France was
able to pursue a policy of aggrandizing Germany's neighbors so
as to have powerful allies in the coming war against Germany.
After
Austria had been reunited with the Reich came the problem of
annexing the millions of Germans living under Czech rule.
Hitler
proposed self-determination, but the Czechs responded with
increased repression.
They did
everything to provoke Hitler, including a general mobilization
on 21 May 1938 to counter an allegedly impending attack by
Germany, which was a total fabrication.
Since no
attack took place, the Czech as well as French and English press
triumphantly announced that their determined military measures
had dissuaded Hitler from invasion, which caused the Reich to
lose prestige.
The American
ambassador in Paris clearly recognized the bellicose character
of the Czech mobilization and characterized it in a report to
President Roosevelt as a "provocation for another war in
Europe."
In order to
evaluate the situation the British government sent Lord Runciman
to the Sudetenland.
In his
report on 16 September 1938 he wrote: "I have great sympathy for
the cause of the Sudeten Germans.
It is
difficult to be governed by a foreign nation, and my impression
is that Czechoslovak rule in the Sudetenland displays such a
lack of tact and understanding, and so much petty intolerance
and discrimination, that dissatisfaction among the German
population must inevitably lead to outrage and rebellion."
Following
this the British government joined in urging the Czechs to allow
a plebiscite in Sudetenland.
The French
government, which had a mutual assistance treaty with
Czechoslovakia, did the same, since France was not prepared to
go to war with Germany over the Sudetenland.
The Czech
Government rejected the suggestion of a plebiscite because this
would have served as precedent for other national minorities to
demand plebiscites as well.
However,
they agreed to relinquish the Sudeten districts without
plebiscite since these regions bordering the Reich were
populated almost entirely by Germans.
This is how
the "Munich Agreement" came about.
It resulted
not from threats and extortion by Hitler, but rather an
agreement by all parties that the Sudeten Germans rightfully
belonged "Heim ins Reich" (back home in the Reich.)
It is
important to note that both Britain and Germany agreed to
guarantee the borders of Czechoslovakia as soon as its other
problems of national minorities were solved.
Neither
Hitler nor anyone else guaranteed any national borders, since
Czechoslovakia never solved its minority problems.
In March
1939 both the Slovaks and the Ruthenians declared independence,
whereupon the Poles invaded Czechoslovakia and occupied the Olsa
Region, which was populated by Poles.
The
Hungarians did the same, occupying the border areas that were
populated by Hungarians.
Since
Czechoslovakia had ceased to exist, its President Hacha flew to
Berlin on 15 March 1939 and placed the remainder of his country
under the protection of the Reich.
He was
afraid that Poland and Hungary would follow the Czech example
and divide the Czech regions among themselves.
The Reich
then formed the Protectorate of Bohemia and Maeren, which
provided for exclusive Czech administration in all areas except
military and foreign policy.
Hitler was
concerned about the threat to German cities and industrial areas
that was posed by Czech air bases.
Because it
felt betrayed by the Sudeten agreement and the Western powers,
Czechoslovakia had adopted close relations with the Soviet
Union, which had already stationed 300 airplanes in the Czech
regions.
Hitler, who
knew that war with the Soviet Union inevitable, could not allow
the Czech regions to serve as a staging area and "aircraft
carrier" for the Soviet Union.
Hacha
remained in office and attended the parade of 20 April 1939 as a
guest of the Reich, standing next to Hitler.
It is very
clear that Hitler did not violate the Munich accord.
When Prime
Minister Chamberlain was questioned in the Lower House about the
entry of German troops in Prague on 15 March 1939, he explained:
"In our
view, the situation has changed significantly since the
Slovakian parliament declared independence.
This
explanation produced the effect that the state whose borders we
intended to guarantee collapsed internally and ceased to exist.
Accordingly, the situation that the honorable Secretary for the
Dominions has described, and which we had always considered
temporary, has now ceased to exist."
Just two
days later, however, in sharp contrast to this explanation given
in the British lower house, Chamberlain condemned the "German
invasion" in his Birmingham speech of 17 March 1939; and on 31
March 1939 he signed an agreement with the Polish government in
which Great Britain promised to support Poland in the event of
war.
It promised
to do this not only if Poland were attacked, but even if Poland
should start a war - for example on account of its pretended
"rights" in Danzig.
Both of
these contradicted in word and spirit the written message that
Chamberlain carried in his hand on his return from Munich, to
which he proudly referred and for which he was enthusiastically
applauded by the masses. At that time he had announced "Peace in
our time."
In this
announcement Hitler and Chamberlain established that all
questions concerning their mutual interests would be handled in
mutual consultations.
So how did
it come about that England encouraged Poland to go to war
against Germany?
Following 15
March 1939, Roosevelt exerted strong pressure on the British
government to "finally exert opposition" against "Nazi tyranny"
or else he would apply methods of coercion against Great
Britain.
It is
impossible to determine precisely what threats he made, since
their correspondence is still off-limits to historians.
Secretary of
the Navy James Forrestal wrote in his diary that US Ambassador
Joseph Kennedy remarked that Chamberlain was convinced that
America and the Jews were forcing Britain into war. This is only
part of the story, however.
The
germanophobic senior British diplomat Vansittart and the
Rumanian Ambassador Tileda also played a major role.
Immediately
after the entry of German troops into Czech territory, Tileda
announced that during German-Rumanian economic negotiations,
Germany had threatened to invade Rumania if it was not allowed
to exploit Rumanian oil.
This was an
absurd allegation since Germany and Rumania did not even share a
common border - they were 400 kilometers apart.
The English
believed it, however, and newspapers in London, Paris and New
York spread false reports of a threatened German attack.
In reality,
German-Rumanian economic negotiations were entirely cordial.
Nobody made
any threats of any kind.
It could be
that Tileda's false allegations about German threats were
inspired by Rumania's needing British economic assistance, and
he was desperately trying to persuade Britain to grant this
assistance.
It could
also be that Tileda had been bribed by the germanophobic
Vansittart, who was determined to bring about an understanding
between Tileda and Chamberlain.
At any rate,
these false allegations greatly alarmed London's financial City.
The City had
no economic interests in Poland and the Czech state, but it did
have interests in Rumania, where most of the oil fields were
owned by British stockholders.
The
allegations moved British economic circles to take an anti
German course.
Even more
significant was the circumstance that Chamberlain was neither an
appeaser nor a Germanophile, as his biographer accurately points
out.
He simply
realized that a war against Germany could not be won in 1939.
Britain's
regular army was relatively small - it had just recently
introduced conscription, and its air force was smaller than the
Luftwaffe.
As Hitler
well understood, Chamberlain was playing for time in order to
displace Germany as the leading power on the Continent as soon
as Britain, which had enormously increased its armaments
program, would have adequate trained men and materiel.
What
Chamberlain was really hoping for was political upheaval in
Germany following a declaration of war.
He arrived
at this fond hope because numerous opponents of Hitler,
including the secretary to German ambassador Kordt in London,
clergyman Goerdeler, head of German military intelligence
Canaris, state secretary Weizsäcker (No. 2 man after Germany's
foreign minister) and Army Chief of Staff General Beck had
joined the opposition and established contact with the British
government.
Initially,
in view of the universal principle "my country right or wrong,"
the British had assumed that contact by the German Opposition
was a trick to make them take hasty action.
On the basis
of very precise details reported to them, they now assumed the
honesty and correctness of the figures provided by the
Opposition.
For example,
Hitler was surprised by the sudden mobilization of the British
Fleet, excavation of air raid shelters and drills with gas masks
in London in the summer of 1939.
These had
come as a response to a report by Opposition figures to the
effect that Hitler was plotting a surprise attack with over a
thousand bombers.
The British
journalist John Colvin, who was in quest of a "scoop," had close
ties with the British secret service, and met with Opposition
circles that included high-ranking officers.
The officers
told him that Britain's agreement in the Sudeten crisis had
denied them the possibility of displacing Hitler and the
National Socialist regime in a putsch.
They
suggested that Britain adopt a much harder line against Germany,
including a declaration of war. They believed this would make
Hitler so unpopular in Germany that the generals would be able
to overthrow him.
On 29 March
1939, before the British-Polish Pact, Colvin met with
Chamberlain at the instigation of Churchill. He told him that
there was a good chance the German generals Beck and von
Witzleben, H. von Bismarck and Major von Kleist-Schmenzien would
revolt and stop Hitler.
Chamberlain
then asked whether it would influence these people if Britain
gave the Poles a guarantee and Colvin responded: "Yes, that
would help."
The
guarantee followed.
Churchill,
who had said that his life's mission was to lead another Thirty
Year's War against Germany, remarked jovially when he met Colvin
again after the War: "Here's the man who gave us the War!"
Chamberlain's diary also provides evidence that the German
Opposition played a decisive role in the British declaration of
war.
On 3
September 1939 he wrote that he did not believe Britain could
win the war and was hoping for upheaval in Germany instead.
In the save
vein, he wrote his sister on 10 September 1939: "What I am
hoping for is not military victory, but rather a collapse of the
German domestic front."
Since the
British guarantee of 31 March 1939 gave Poland carte blanche in
its dealings with Germany, Poland intensified its persecutions
of the German minority.
Abductions
became common, speaking German in public was proscribed, German
associations and newspapers were suppressed, the German consul
in Krakow was murdered, etc.
It is
irrelevant whether Poles or Germans attacked the Gleiwitz
transmitting station; whoever reads the White Book of the
German-Polish war will find countless undisputed murders and
assaults committed by the Poles in the weeks and months
preceding 1 September 1939.
For example,
ethnic Germans attempting to flee Poland were murdered and
German commercial aircraft flying between Pomerania and East
Prussia were fired upon by Polish anti-aircraft artillery. Such
provocations could only be intentional.
In June
1939, Pilsudski's successor Marshal Rydz-Smigly smugly addressed
Polish military officers as follows: "Poland wants war with
Germany and Germany will not be able to avoid war even if it so
desires." Presumably he pictured himself riding a white horse at
the head of victorious Polish troops marching through the
Brandenburg Gate.
German
intelligence succeeded in breaking the Polish code, so that the
Germans knew that Warsaw had given directives to Polish
ambassador Lipski that under no circumstances could he intervene
or offer concessions to Germany.
In addition,
the German Opposition informed Roosevelt that Germany was
planning to attack Poland. They also informed the Polish
ambassador, Polish government and French government, none of
whom were disturbed.
They were
confident that in the event of war they could penetrate deep
into Germany because domestic disorders would break out there.
Thus the US,
England, France and Poland all trusted in the promises of the
German Opposition to execute a putsch if Hitler invaded Poland
and the Western powers declared war on Germany.
This is
surprising in view of the fact that, as several secret
ballotings had shown, 90% of all Germans supported Hitler.
Germany's
enemies as well as its domestic Opposition must have known that
the Opposition had no support among the German people.
Against
their better knowledge they continued egging Poland and Britain
into war, however.
Even on 20
July 1944, despite the heavy losses Germany had already
sustained in the war, the members of the Opposition still did
not have enough confidence to reveal themselves as opponents of
Hitler.
Instead,
they prepared an explanation to be given following the
anticipated death of Hitler that the SS had carried out the
putsch and the Wehrmacht was now taking power.
And yet,
such spineless traitors as these are officially lauded by the
present System as "heroes!"
The fact
that Chamberlain, knowing of the Polish, French and American
desire for war, gave a free hand to Polish war policies and did
not urge Poland to accept the moderate German demands can be
explained only by the fact that he also wanted war on 1
September 1939.
Another
indication of this is the fact that in Britain the evening
edition of the newspaper DAILY MAIL for 31 August 1939 was
confiscated.
The edition
had carried the story of Germany's proposals concerning the
Polish Corridor as well as Poland's response, which was general
mobilization. The newspaper was compelled to publish a different
evening edition.
The British
naval minister Cooper, who favored war, was highly perturbed
when he learned of the German proposal, which he considered
moderate and reasonable. He telephoned the DAILY TELEGRAPH AND
demanded that it present the German proposal in as unfavorable
light as possible. The British ambassador to Berlin also did
everything he could to keep the moderate German proposal secret
for as long as possible.
Occasionally the
Establishment media admit that Hitler had not planned a world
war on 1 September 1939. Numerous witnesses reported that he was
shaken by receipt of the British - French declaration of war.
When this is mentioned, however, it is accompanied by the
suggestion that he had been "playing Vabanque" (gambling) as he
had done before, and this time his bet did not pay off.
In response
to this it should be said that Hitler accurately evaluated
public sentiment in England and France. Many Frenchmen were not
enthused by the prospect of "dying for Danzig;" "mourir pour
Danzig" was the phrase on everyone's lips. What Hitler did not
suspect, since Germans traditionally held sworn oaths to be
sacred, was that influential persons in the military, foreign
ministry and information agencies were conspiring with the enemy
to bring about "regime change." Perhaps these individuals
believed the enemy propaganda line that their goal was to
replace Hitler rather than annihilate Germany.
As for the
German-Soviet War, there can be no doubt, in view of the
revelations of the Russian secret agent Suvorov, that what the
Germans suspected in 1941 is factual:
The Reich
interrupted a Russian offensive that, as we know today, was
scheduled to begin on 6 July 1941.This explains why millions of
Soviet soldiers were quickly surrounded and taken prisoner -
they were supposed to be rushed from hidden positions to the
border just before the attack.
It also
explains why huge numbers of artillery pieces and stockpiles of
munitions were captured at the border as well as millions of
extra leather boots, detailed maps of the Red Army's objectives
in Germany and so forth.
When the
Establishment media blather about the "surprise attack on an
unsuspecting Soviet Union in 1941," it is just one more gigantic
lie.
Beginning
with the English-German War of September 1939 that he so
ardently desired, Roosevelt violated the guidelines for neutral
nations countless times.
As early as
1939 he was already shadowing German merchant ships with US
cruisers, who then called in British cruisers to sink them. He
also seized German assets, supplied the British with war
materiel on credit, "loaned" them fifty destroyers and guarded
British convoys with American warships.
Hitler, who
was determined not to provoke the US, responded to none of these
provocations. He even forbade German submarines to defend
themselves with torpedoes when attacked by US destroyers,
remembering Washington's pretext for entering World War I in
1917.
Even in the
Nuremberg show trials, the hypocritical and avaricious US
government did not dare to pronounce Germany guilty of
conducting "offensive war" against them, since they had already
been at war with Germany for three months when Japan, driven to
desperate measures by the oil embargo, attacked the US fleet at
Peal Harbor in December of 1941.
The above is
the simple unadorned truth.
The longer
German youth remain in school, the more they are indoctrinated
with lies and brainwashed against their fatherland.
After 65
years of such brainwashing, the teachers either know no better
or else they are compelled to instruct nonsense.
Our
Establishment media all play the same tune and our abject
politicians perform never-ending kowtows to do penance for our
"endless guilt" for the 60 million victims of the Second World
War.
We pay
countless billions in tribute to foreign countries while, to
quote Merkel, we must never be allowed to "go a separate German
way."
We were
forced to abolish the D-mark and abandon our sovereignty to NATO
and the European Union. When German nationalists demand that at
long last German schools adopt a factual historiography, it is
not just a "backwards-looking" as some who describe themselves
as "modern nationalists" believe.
In
actuality, it has an enormous political effect.
If we are
unable to succeed in making German youth proud and self
confident again, they will be unable to resist ever-growing
foreign demands, plundering of our social security fund and
squandering of our money in international banks.
They will
continue to be unable to resist predatory foreign lobbyists and
parasitic organizations.
The most
vital task of the day is to spread the truth.
