Falsehoods of World War II

The Inverted History of World War II

The history of World War II widely accepted in the West is largely an inverted narrative.

Much of the current political legitimacy of today’s American government and its various European vassal-states is founded upon a particular narrative history of World War II, and challenging that account might have dire political consequences.

The standard account taught in history books and presented by the media is often just as dishonest and distorted as the notorious have dire political consequences. The standard account taught in history books and presented by the media is often just as dishonest and distorted as the notorious Pravda of the vanished USSR.

The traditional narrative that laid waste to much of Europe, killed perhaps fifty or sixty million, and gave rise to the subsequent Cold War era, is demonstrably rife with falsehoods regarding its origins, key figures, and major events.

The Origins of the Conflict: Hitler’s Aims and Diplomatic Blunders

The universally accepted Western interpretation holds that Adolf Hitler started World War II, initiating a broader campaign aimed at world domination with his invasion of Poland. This interpretation is false; the widespread claim that Hitler sought to conquer the world was totally absurd. The German leader actually made every effort to avoid war with Britain or France.

Hitler’s Reasonable Demands

Hitler’s final demand, that 95 per cent German Danzig be returned to Germany just as its inhabitants desired, was an absolutely reasonable one.

He had been generally quite friendly towards the Poles and had been hoping to enlist Poland as a German ally against the menace of Stalin’s Soviet Union. Prior to the invasion, Hitler had offered concessions far more generous than any of his democratically-elected Weimar predecessors had ever considered.

However, Poland’s dictatorship instead spent months rejecting his attempts at negotiations and also began brutal mistreatment of its German minority, finally forcing Hitler into declaring war. According to one analysis, only a dreadful diplomatic blunder by the British had led the Poles to refuse the request, thereby provoking the war. If the German dictator clearly bore only minor responsibility, the accepted mythology regarding the true origins of the war is entirely debunked.

The True Culprits

The root cause of the war lay in the outrageous terms imposed at Versailles following the First World War. The harsh peace terms, including the dismemberment and occupation of German territories, military weakness, and gigantic financial reparations, deeply rankled all Germans.

The deliberate goal of provoking war may be ascribed to certain powerful figures. 02_ARCHIVE/05 people/Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR) is implicated as a pivotal figure in orchestrating the world war. By late 1937, facing severe economic and political problems, FDR had turned towards an aggressive foreign policy, believing a major foreign war was the only route out of his desperate situation.

Memoirs and historical documents generally support the accusation that Roosevelt ordered his diplomats to exert enormous pressure upon both the British and Polish governments to avoid any negotiated settlement with Germany, thereby leading to the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Roosevelt’s policy of constant pressure upon the British political leadership was something he privately admitted could mean his impeachment if revealed.

The Role of Churchill and the London Blitz

The standard account maintains that Germany launched the Blitz on England unprovoked in order to terrorise the British people into submission. This account is largely the opposite of the truth. In that era, the aerial bombardment of urban centres far behind military lines was illegal and considered a war crime.

The Provocation of Bombing

Hitler had always held favourable views toward Britain and believed the preservation of the British Empire was in Germany’s strategic interest. After the defeat of the French army in 1940, Hitler deliberately allowed the British forces to escape at Dunkirk as a face-saving gesture. He then offered extremely generous terms to the British government, proposing a German alliance and military support for protecting the security of their worldwide empire, assuming the war was essentially over.

Despite Britain’s military defeat on the Continent and the attractive peace terms offered, Prime Minister Winston Churchill faced a huge problem in persuading his country to continue a war widely regarded as lost. Churchill, fearing that losing a disastrous war within weeks of achieving the prime ministership would have rendered him a laughingstock in the history books, chose to continue the conflict.

To achieve this, Churchill began ordering a series of bombing raids against the German capital, an illegal war crime, hoping to provoke a German response. Hitler repeatedly warned that if they continued bombing his cities, he would be forced to retaliate in kind, which he finally did. The British public, unaware that their own government had initiated the campaign of urban bombing, regarded those retaliatory German aerial attacks as monstrous, unprovoked war crimes, thereby committing them fully to continuing the war against Germany, just as Churchill had hoped.

Churchill’s Corruption

Churchill’s relentless drive to prolong the war was intensely personal and based on self-interest. Churchill was a huge spendthrift who lived lavishly, often far beyond his financial means, leaving him at the mercy of those individuals willing to support his sumptuous lifestyle in exchange for determining his political activities.

Prior to World War II, Churchill and numerous other British Members of Parliament were regularly receiving sizable financial stipends—cash bribes—from Jewish and Czech sources in exchange for promoting a policy of extreme hostility toward the German government and actually advocating war.

In early 1938, Churchill was bailed out by a foreign Jewish millionaire intent upon promoting a war against Germany after losing all his accumulated wealth in a stock-market gamble. This massive bribery of British parliamentarians was learned by German Intelligence, who passed the information to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. For elected officials to do the bidding of foreigners on matters of war and peace in exchange for huge secret payments constitutes almost a textbook example of treason. Churchill also constantly suffered from drunkenness, which was so widespread as to constitute clinical alcoholism, leading FDR to routinely refer to him in private conversations as a drunken bum.

Churchill’s actions involved further military failures and betrayals:

• He ordered the British commanding general in France to immediately flee with his forces without informing his French or Belgium counterparts, ensuring the encirclement and destruction of their armies and opening a huge gap in the Allied front-lines.
• He later ordered a sudden, surprise attack on the disarmed French fleet, destroying it and killing some 2,000 of his erstwhile allies.

He later sought to use poison gas and hundreds of thousands of deadly anthrax bombs against German cities, but was prevented from doing so by his military and political subordinates.

The Falsehood of an Unexpected Pearl Harbour Attack

Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour on 7th December 1941, sinking many warships and killing over 2,400 Americans, was not an unexpected bolt-from-the-blue attack. The actual facts are entirely different.

FDR’s Orchestration of War

From 1940 onward, FDR had been making a great political effort to directly involve America in the war against Germany, despite public opinion being overwhelmingly opposed, with polls showing up to 80 per cent opposition. The Japanese attack changed this immediately, plunging the country into war.

Roosevelt deliberately provoked the attack by freezing Japanese assets, embargoing all shipments of vital fuel oil supplies, and rebuffing repeated requests by Tokyo leaders for negotiations. The plan was to maneuver Japan into firing the first shot. Furthermore, FDR’s administration was fully aware of the planned Japanese attack on the Pacific Fleet and deliberately failed to warn local commanders, ensuring that the heavy American losses would produce a vengeful nation united for war. The element of surprise was necessary, because if Washington had warned the commanders, defensive preparations would have been noticed by Japanese spies, the attack aborted, and FDR’s long-standing plans for war frustrated.

Suspicious Events Surrounding the Attack

• In May 1940, FDR had ordered the Pacific Fleet relocated from San Diego to the dangerous and provocative location of Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, leading to the firing of the commanding admiral, James Richardson, who opposed the decision.
• The day after the attack, hundreds of U.S. troops seized control of Disney Studios, the only major film studio controlled by Gentiles and a figure in the anti-war camp. It seems highly unlikely that the U.S. military would have been ready to seize control of Disney studios early Monday morning following an actual PERCEIVED surprise attack.

The Purge of Antiwar Intellectuals in the 1940s

A purge of antiwar intellectuals and pundits occurred in the 1940s, similar to the purging of critics of US policy in social media today. Some of the most influential figures from the years prior to World War II were disappeared so completely that future generations forgot they had ever lived. Unlike their Stalinist analogues, American victims were neither shot nor Gulaged, but merely excluded from the mainstream media that defines reality, blotting them out from memory.

Prominent Victims of the Purge

• John T. Flynn: One of the single most influential liberal voices in American society throughout the 1930s. He gradually became a sharp critic of FDR’s economic policies and later denounced his aggressive foreign policy aimed at war. After FDR’s 1940 re-election, he lost his long-standing column and permanently disappeared from mainstream periodicals.
• Harry Elmer Barnes: A highly influential academic scholar, he played a central role in revising the history of the First World War to remove the picture of German wickedness left by dishonest propaganda. By the end of the 1930s, he became a leading critic of American involvement in World War II and was permanently disappeared, barred from all mainstream media outlets, and lost his syndicated national column in May 1940.
• Charles A. Beard: An intellectual figure of the greatest stature, co-founder of The New School and former president of The American Historical Association. After turning against Roosevelt’s bellicose foreign policy, publishers shut their doors to him.
• William Henry Chamberlin: For decades, he ranked among America’s leading foreign policy journalists. His critical 1950 analysis of America’s entry into World War II failed to find a mainstream publisher and was widely ignored by reviewers, leading his writing to be confined almost entirely to small circulation periodicals.

The year 1940 marked the point at which some of the most significant dissenting voices in the national media were either removed or intimidated into silence.

The Crucial Missing Fact: Allied Plans to Attack the USSR

One of the single most crucial turning points of World War II, Operation Pike, has been omitted from nearly every Western history. Just a few months after the war began, the Western Allies, Britain and France, decided to attack the neutral Soviet Union.

• Operation Pike: The plan was to use bomber squadrons based in Syria and Iraq to destroy the Baku oilfields in the Soviet Caucasus. Allied strategists believed this would eliminate the Soviet fuel supply, potentially producing a famine that might bring down the Communist regime and cut Germany off from that vital resource.
• Miscalculation: The plan was based on virtually all mistaken assumptions. The USSR was vastly stronger than the Allies realised, and it ultimately destroyed 80 per cent of Germany’s military formations. An Allied attack would have brought the Soviets directly into the war as Hitler’s full military ally, almost certainly reversing the outcome of the war. Only a small fraction of German oil came from the Soviets, so eliminating it would have little impact on Germany.
• Abandonment: This attack, which would have been the largest strategic bombing offensive in world history to that date, was only finally abandoned after Germany’s armies crossed the French border and knocked France out of the war.
• German Discovery: The victorious Germans captured and published all the secret documents regarding Operation Pike, achieving a major propaganda coup. This fact helps to explain why Stalin remained so distrustful of Churchill’s diplomatic efforts prior to Hitler’s Barbarossa attack a year later.

The Suvorov Hypothesis: Stalin’s Offensive Intentions

The conventional narrative of the Eastern Front is that Hitler launched a sudden, massive surprise attack on the USSR on 22nd June 1941, Operation Barbarossa, catching the Red Army completely unaware due to Stalin’s ineptitude.

The Suvorov Hypothesis, advanced by former Soviet military intelligence officer Viktor Suvorov, claimed that during the summer of 1941 Stalin was on the very verge of mounting a massive invasion and conquest of Europe, while Hitler’s sudden attack was intended to forestall that looming blow.

• Soviet Superiority: The widespread belief in the superiority of Germany’s military technology is almost entirely mythological. Soviet tanks were far superior in armament, armour, and maneuverability to their German counterparts. Stalin deployed around 27,000 tanks against just 4,000 in Hitler’s forces, deploying many times more tanks than the combined total of Germany and every other nation in the world.
• Offensive Focus: Following the 1939 peace agreement with Hitler, Stalin ramped up his total-war economy, focusing production almost entirely upon purely offensive weapons systems, while discontinuing those armaments better suited for defence and dismantling previous lines of fortifications. The gigantic armoured force assembled on Germany’s border included 6,500 high-speed autobahn tanks, ideally suited for deployment on Germany’s network of highways, and 4,000 amphibious tanks, able to navigate the English Channel and conquer Britain.
• Barbarossa as a Counter-Strike: The forces preparing for an unprecedented war of conquest were Stalin’s, and his military juggernaut would surely have seized all of Europe. Hitler suddenly realised the strategic trap into which he had fallen and ordered his heavily outnumbered and outgunned troops into a desperate surprise attack of their own, catching the Soviets at the point where their own final preparations for sudden attack had left them most vulnerable, and thereby snatching a major initial victory from the jaws of certain defeat.

Postwar Germany: Misery and Ethnic Cleansing

Most Americans believe that the German people were treated humanely following the end of hostilities and that the Marshall Plan helped to rebuild Europe. This account is inaccurate.

Horrific Suffering and Starvation

More than three years after the end of hostilities, Occupied Germany was a land still almost totally ruined, with large portions of the population forced to seek shelter in damaged basements or share tiny rooms in broken buildings. The population regarded itself as being without rights, subject to arbitrary treatment by occupation troops or other privileged elements. Foreign soldiers might seize anything they wanted from German civilians.

Throughout the first three years of peacetime, the daily food ration allocated to Germany’s entire civilian population was roughly 1550 calories, approximately the same as that provided to the inmates of German concentration camps during the recently ended war, and it sometimes dropped far lower. During the difficult winter of 1946-47, the entire population of the Ruhr only received starvation rations of 700–800 calories per day.

This disastrous situation was partly deliberate American government policy, as many aspects of the Morgenthau Plan, aimed at eliminating half or so of Germany’s population, still held sway in practice.

Even as late as 1948, huge portions of the German industrial base continued to be dismantled and shipped off to other countries, while tight restrictions on German production and exports remained in place.

The poverty, misery, and oppression witnessed seemed deliberately calculated to turn ordinary Germans against America and its Western allies, perhaps opening the door to Communist sympathies.

One analysis, based on German census data and refugee influx, makes a reasonably strong case that the excess German deaths during the period 1945–1950 amounted to at least around 10 million, and possibly many millions more, with starvation being deliberate or enormously worsened by American government resistance to food relief efforts. This human catastrophe would rank among the greatest in modern peacetime history.

Ethnic Cleansing and Injustice

The largest ethnic-cleansing in the history of the world took place with the organised expulsions of ethnic Germans from Silesia, the Sudetenland, East Prussia, and various other parts of Central and Eastern Europe, where they had peacefully lived for many centuries.

The total number of expellees is generally estimated at 13 to 15 million. Families were sometimes given as little as ten minutes to leave their homes, then forced to march off on foot, sometimes for hundreds of miles. All estimates indicate that at least a couple of million perished along the way, from hunger, illness, or exposure.

The Nuremberg Tribunal and various other war crime trials constituted a total perversion of any basic notions of human justice. These judicial proceedings exhibited the worst sort of legal double-standards, with leading Allied judges explicitly stating that their own countries were not at all bound by the same international legal conventions they claimed to be enforcing against German defendants.

Shocking measures were regularly employed to obtain confessions or denunciations of others, including horrific torture, threats, and blackmail. This situation strongly suggested that a very considerable number of those condemned and hanged were entirely innocent. The Nuremberg Trials were described as a major indelible blot upon America and a travesty of justice.

The Reality of the Holocaust Narrative

The Jewish Holocaust ranks as one of the most important and monumental events of the twentieth century, legally protected in many Western countries against anyone who disputes or minimizes the iconic number of Six Million. However, the standard Holocaust narrative is likely at least substantially false, and quite possibly, almost entirely so.

Absence from Contemporaneous Accounts

During the Second World War itself, few mainstream individuals in the political or media worlds apparently believed in the reality of the ongoing Holocaust, mostly regarding the widespread stories promoted by Jewish activists and Allied governments as merely dishonest wartime propaganda, much like the ridiculous World War I atrocity stories.

Many of the ignored Holocaust stories were totally ridiculous, such as the Germans killing over a million Jews by individually injecting them in the heart with a poison compound.

Given that the Holocaust would reasonably rank as the single most remarkable episode of World War II, the striking omission of any mention of Nazi gas chambers, a genocide of the Jews, or six million Jewish victims in the voluminous memoirs of General Eisenhower (559 pages), Winston Churchill (4,448 pages across six volumes), and General de Gaulle (2,054 pages across three volumes), published between 1948 and 1959, is highly significant.

These figures must almost be placed among the ranks of implicit Holocaust Deniers. Similarly, the voluminous published diaries of General George Patton, Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, and the wartime journals of Charles Lindbergh contain no hint of the monumental event known today as the Holocaust.

Lack of Documentation and Historical Discrepancies

The massive scale of the alleged extermination project, which was supposedly accorded greater priority than Germany’s own wartime military needs, was implemented without benefit of a single written document, or at least no such document has ever been located. Furthermore, the Germans allegedly undertook enormous efforts to totally eliminate all possible traces of their horrifying deed, expending huge resources to cremate millions of bodies and scatter the ashes.

A strange historical pattern demonstrates that the Holocaust hardly anyone discussed it for the first twenty years after the end of World War II, while it gradually moved to the centre of American life in the 1970s, just as wartime memories were fading. The very strange sort of amnesia seems to have gripped most of the leading political protagonists for many years after the war.

In 1951, a former top American Military Intelligence officer, John Beaty, published a hugely successful book, Iron Curtain Over America, that casually ridiculed the Holocaust as long-discredited wartime atrocity-propaganda that almost no one still believed to be true. Numerous top American generals, both serving and retired, wholeheartedly endorsed Beaty’s work, and although Jewish organisations fiercely denounced the book on other grounds, none of them ever challenged its extremely explicit Holocaust Denial.

The Nazi-Zionist Nexus

The central Jewish role in orchestrating World War II against Nazi Germany was carefully airbrushed out of nearly all subsequent historical narratives.

Economic Collaboration in the 1930s

Despite the general hostility of Jews worldwide toward Nazi Germany, there was a notable exception in the form of a long-suppressed but thoroughly documented Nazi-Zionist economic partnership in the 1930s.

This alliance played a huge role in the growth and development of the Palestine colonisation project.

• Ha’avara or Transfer Agreement:  After Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, Zionist groups used the widespread Jewish economic boycott against Germany as an opportunity to demand favourable terms for the export of high-quality German manufactured goods to Palestine, along with accompanying German Jews, as a means for Germany to break the trade embargo.
• Funding Zionism:  Between 1933 and 1939, over 60 per cent of all the investment in Jewish Palestine came from Nazi Germany. Without Hitler’s financial backing, the nascent Jewish colony might easily have shrivelled up and died during the Great Depression.
• Nazi Support:  Hitler quickly outlawed all other German political organisations, but made a special exception for Germany’s local Zionist Party, which was accorded complete legal status, with Zionist marches, uniforms, and flags fully permitted.The Nazi newspaper Der Angriff, the flagship media organ of the Nazi Party, published a massive 12-part series entitled A Nazi Goes to Palestine, with the newspaper even striking a commemorative medal in honour of the partnership, bearing a Star-of-David on one face and a Swastika on the other.

Adolf Eichmann: Eichmann was a central Nazi figure in the Zionist alliance, studying Hebrew and apparently becoming something of a philo-Semite during his close collaboration with top Zionist leaders.

The Zionist Pursuit of Military Alliance

Around the outbreak of World War II, a small, right-wing Zionist faction, whose early leaders included future Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, sought an even more surprising relationship.

Drawing political inspiration from Mussolini's Fascist Italy and Hitler’s Nazi Germany, this faction attempted repeatedly to contact the German leadership in 1940 and 1941, hoping to enlist in the Axis Powers as their Palestine affiliate. Shamir offered to undertake a campaign of sabotage and espionage against the local British forces, hoping to share in the political booty after Hitler’s inevitable triumph.

The sitting Israeli Prime Minister having spent his early wartime years as an unrequited Nazi ally was something that did not conform to the traditional narrative. The revelation of Shamir’s pro-Axis past seemed to have had only a relatively minor impact upon his political standing within Israeli society, suggesting the Jews of Israel regarded Nazi Germany quite differently than did most Americans.

According to Israeli sources, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who later headed the assassination department of the Mossad, held a seething hatred for America, and even after the passage of a half-century, had still never forgiven America for failing to support Adolf Hitler in World War II.
