GERMANY’S DEFENCE – A lack of journalistic integrity led to war – Part 2 of 3

On 21 July, 1933,  the very same day, and on the same editorial page of the Sydney Morning Herald in which the Consul General’s reply entitles “Germany’s Defence” (see my previous post) was published, the editor shared some concern and criticism of President Roosevelt’s “Brain Trust” and their “New Deal”,  quoting from numerous American media sources who were apparently very anxious and skeptical about this plan.  My reason for covering this, is that, in part 1 of this series, I found the editor to be ignorant and / or biased in what he had written about Germany, and because I suspect that he may have left some statements out from the reply he had received from the Consul General, Herr Amsis.

Here are several segments of this lengthy editorial along with my own highlights in bold, and my comments and questions in [brackets].  I will then attempt to fill in the blanks and to answer the logical questions that were not addressed in this Op/Ed piece:

ANXIETY IN AMERICA

Sydney Morning Herald, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1933 “Judging from the American Press of a month ago there is real foundation for the fears expressed in our Washington cable messages this morning of reaction from the first reception of the Roosevelt plan. The “New York Times” alludes to “a top-heavy speculative situation” in commodity and security markets, and ”an irregular development” in the control programme.” A public speculative fever is clearly indicated, losses in wheat and Stock Exchange prices are attributed to unloading of scrip by speculators, and the new industrial dictatorship threatens to close the wheat markets “unless remedies are”devised to limit the extent of recession”of prices in any one day’s trading. ”The truth is that President Roosevelt’s “brain trust” are not the only brains deeply exercised over the President’s risky plans. One of the first and most serious warnings, issued from experienced business men and bankers who doubted the wisdom of the whole scheme, was that it would lead to heavy speculation, and encourage those who saw a chance to seek the utmost profit out of nation-wide business uncertainty.  …. [snip] A Brooklyn paper published a stinging cartoon with the legend-”Let’s hope it ”turns out better than most back-seat ”driving attempts.” The New York ”Herald-Tribune” regarded the prospects as “dismaying, not to say terrifying,” and the “Chicago Tribune” said roundly that, whether the experiment was to be one of Fascism or Communism, “it is to be hoped we shall ”have the good sense to revert to the ”economic system which created the ”wealth of this country.”… [snip] The American commercial public seems to have become anxious under a rapidly generated dislike of the “brain trust,” and especially with the patent somersaulting of the Washington executive under that influence. [Oh, what influence please? Any specifics??] Unable to discover any answer to the question [Oh really now? Great journalism there!]  ”What is this brain trust aiming at?” New York and Chicago papers sought an answer from analysis of the published works of members of the “trust.”  Several of them are Assistant Secretaries of State - Assistant Prime Ministers, as we would say. They completely overshadow the Cabinet. Professor Moley is blamed for the policy of abandoning the gold standard as an advocate of inflation. Another, Professor Tugwell, has declared that he regards capitalism ”as in process of evolution into socialised industry.” Leading Democrats in Congress are dismayed at the Influence with the President of  ”experts who either cannot or will not say what they are really seeking to put through.”  The “New York Times” was shocked by the bill abrogating the gold-payment clause in Government and private obligations, especially after Mr. Roosevelt, during his election campaign, had indignantly scouted the idea of any Government’s repudiating this promise. Again the President suddenly deserted currency stabilisation at the World Conference after the leading Press of the country had supported Washington’s pre-conference argument that currencies must be stabilised for the sake of international trade. The nervousness now reported is a symptom of rising apprehension in the United States.” FULL TEXT HERE

COMMENT:

So here are saying openly that there is a “new industrial dictatorship” and ”shadow government” operating in the USA in 1933, pretending to be “democratic”, but just who were the members of “Roosevelt’s Brain Trust”?  The editor mentions just two names, but I don’t just mean what their names were, but rather, what are their backgrounds and influences, stated goals, religions, philosophies,  etc.  He doesn’t say!  And why not?  Well, that might have revealed his total hypocrisy in his criticism of Hitler and his intellectual dishonesty by neither asking nor answering an obvious question which the reader has a right to know in order to have an “informed opinion”.  But perhaps it was cowardliness,  because it may have opened him up to charges of “antisemitism”, or maybe his concern was not at all genuine.

So, I am left to ask, who indeed were the members of this “brain trust”, who were the “backseat drivers”? Who was this group that “overshadows the  cabinet”?

James Kieran of New York Times called Roosevelt’s group of advisors as the “Brains Trust”. Over the next few years several of his advisors were considered to be members of the Brains Trust. This included Raymond Moley, Rexford Guy Tugwell,  Adolf Berle and Roosevelt’s law-partner, Basil O’Connor, Ernest Cuneo, Hugh Johnson, Bernard Baruch, Frances Perkins , Harry Hopkins , Harold Ickes , Louis Brandeis , Cordell Hull, Henry Morgenthau, Thomas Corcoran, Benjamin Cohen, Robert Wagner and Felix Frankfurter .” SOURCE: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAbrainstrust.htm

But there were others too…

Wikipedia states: “The core of the first Roosevelt brain trust consisted of a group of Columbia law professors (Moley, Tugwell, and Berle). These men played a key role in shaping the policies of the First New Deal (1933). Although they never met together as a group, they each had Roosevelt’s ear. Many newspaper editorials and editorial cartoons ridiculed them as impractical idealists. The core of the second Roosevelt brain trust sprang from men associated with the Harvard law school (Cohen, Corcoran, and Frankfurter). These men played a key role in shaping the policies of the Second New Deal (1935–1936). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Trust

COMMENT:

Wikipedia names some of the same people as Kieren, but they leave out several key names such as Bernard Baruch (who had been very involved with WWI and  the Versailles Treaty) and Henry Morgenthau Jr (whose father Henry Morgenthau Sr. was also a WWI war monger) , Henry Wallace and even H.G. Wells who were the most influential of this clique of “backroom boys”, comprised of not only so-called “Jews” but Zionists, Fabian Socialists, Communists, and members of the CFR and various secret societies and fraternities like Phi Beta Kappa, the Lucis Trust and the Freemasons. In fact, Roosevelt himself was a high ranking Freemason!  More on that later. Leslie Fry, in ‘Waters Flowing Eastward’ stated:

“Adolf A. Berle Jr. if not Jewish was indeed a Zionist, son of the author of ” The World Significance of a Jewish State,” which forecast that Zion would rule the world, who became Assistant Secretary of State. It was he who, when warned by Whittaker Chambers about Alger Hiss‘s treachery in 1939, took no action but allowed Hiss to do his fell work through the war, which made the cold war possible today.”  (L. Fry, “Waters Flowing Eastward”) Waters.Flowing.Eastward/Appendix.3_The.Rulers.Of.Russia.htm

“…Adolf A. Berle Jr., had acquired early notoriety by co-authoring with Gardiner C. Means The Modern Corporation and Private Property (1932), a book whose thesis was that large business corporations no longer served the public interest and therefore the government ought to control them. In memoranda to Roosevelt in 1932, Berle “stressed that nineteenth-century competition and individualism were anachronistic.”6 Although he occupied no full-time position in the Roosevelt administration until he became assistant secretary of state in 1938, he influenced New Deal policies for banking, securities, railroads, and many other matters. He exemplified, as the title of Jordan Schwarz’s biography indicates, the quintessential “liberal” in the modern, leftish, bleeding-heart sense. His politics, as described by the left-liberal historian William E. Leuchtenburg, “reflected the hope of the Social Gospel of creating a Kingdom of God on earth.”7 Heaven help us!” http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/a-tale-of-two-brain-trusts

The diary of Adolf A. Berle 5/20/1944 states he attended:

“Joint Annual Meeting of the Nat’l Conference of Jewish Social Welfare, the Nat’l Assoc. of Jewish Center Workers, and the Nat’l Council for Jewish Education, Cleveland , Ohio“ findingaid_berle.pdf

Leslie Fry also stated  in ‘Waters Flowing Eastward’ that

“The ‘brain trust’ of Franklin D. Roosevelt is composed of several Jews, among them Bernard M. Baruch, Herbert Swope, Mordecai Ezekiel, James Warburg, Frank W. Taussig,  Others like Swanson, Secretary of the Navy, Arthur Bullitt, Louis M. Howe, Raymond Moley, Tugwell, George N. Peek, if not Jews, were closely connected with Jews and such radical organizations as the Conference for Progressive Political Action, the Rand School for Communism, the Friends of Soviet Russia, the League for Industrial Democracy.” Waters.Flowing.Eastward/3.1.Fabianism.htm

James Warburg (Jewish International Banker/ CFR member/  Mother: Nina J. Loeb, daughter of Solomon Loeb, founder of the New York banking and investment firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.  His Father: Paul Warburg was the “father” of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, his uncle was the international banker Jacob H. Schiff.

James Paul Warburg, an agent of the Rothschild Dynasty, major player in the Federal Reserve Act scam, while speaking before the United States Senate, this pompous Internationalist boasted confidently on on February 17, 1950,“We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”  (Fritz Springmeier, The Illuminati Bloodlines)

A “New World Order” is  phrase uttered mostly in secret by many high-level Freemasons and various elite types over the past century or more,  right up to the present, though no longer secretly. and “global governance” is a concept that has been around since the days of Adam Weishaupt (founder of the “Bavarian Illuminati” in 1776) to signify the coming “world government”:

“It is necessary to establish a universal regime over the whole world”, Weishaupt had said. (Writings of the Illuminati, 1780).

Both terms  imply the same thing: the end of truly sovereign nations under global control by an elite few, who will rule over the many.  The “Illuminati” symbol was the “All Seeing Eye” or “Eye of Horus”, and was adopted by the Freemasons, as depicted hovering above an uncapped pyramid on the US $1 bill since 1934.

During the first part of the 20th century and right up to the time that the seal was first publicly introduced, a series of victories over the sovereignty of the United States had already been won. Their various agents who were committed to the NWO or “one-world” plans of the Rothschild-Warburg-Rockefeller international banking cartel had already accomplished some important stepping stones to this “New World Order”:

Federal Reserve System (1913); League of Nations (1920); Royal Institute of International Affairs, and Council on Foreign Relations (1920-21); the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

The consolidation of power was thus complete and so the reverse side of the seal, which remained largely unknown to the American people for more than 150 years, could now be shown. In 1934, Secretary of Agriculture, soon-to-be Vice-President (1940-44) and 32nd degree Freemason Henry Wallace submitted a proposal to the president to mint a coin depicting the seal’s obverse and reverse. President Franklin D Roosevelt, also a 32nd degree Freemason  liked the idea but he opted to instead place it on the US dollar bill. According to Henry Wallace, in a letter dated February 6, 1951, “the Latin phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum impressed me as meaning the ’New Deal’ of the Ages.”

“Roosevelt as he looked at the colored reproduction of the Seal was first struck with the representation of the ‘All-Seeing Eye,’ a Masonic representation of Great Architect the Universe. Next he was impressed with the idea that the foundation for the new order of the ages had been laid in 1776 (May 1st, 1776, founding of the Illuminati) but would be completed only under the eye of the Great Architect. Roosevelt like myself was a 32nd degree Mason. He suggested that the Seal be put on the dollar bill rather that a coin.”

Moving along ….

Bernard Mannes Baruch (August 19, 1870 – June 20, 1965) was a Jewish-American financier, stock-market speculator, and power broker. After his success in business, he devoted his time toward advising U.S. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt on economic matters and became a philanthropist. When the United States entered World War II, President Roosevelt appointed Baruch a special adviser to the director of the Office of War Mobilization. He supported what was known as a “work or fight” bill. Baruch advocated the creation of a permanent superagency similar to his old Industries Board. His theory enhanced the role of civilian businessmen and industrialists in determining what was needed and who would produce it.^[4] Baruch’s ideas were largely adopted, with James Byrnes appointed to carry them out. During the war Baruch remained a trusted adviser and confidant of President Roosevelt, who in 1944 spent a month as a guest at Baruch’s South Carolina estate. http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Baruch

“The House of Rothschild; international bankers who made enormous profits during the nineteenth century, and used their money to take over governments. Bernard Baruch: New York agent of the Rothschilds who at the turn of the century set up the tobacco trust, the copper trust and other trusts for the Rothschilds. He became the grey eminence of the United States atomic bomb program when his lackey, J. Robert Oppenheimner, became director of the Los Alamos bomb development, and when his Washington lackey, James F. Byrnes, advised Truman to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Albert Einstein; lifelong Zionist who initiated the United States’ atomic bomb program with a personal letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939.” ~ Eustace Mullins  http://rense.com/general90/whyhir.htm

During World War I, Baruch was Head of the War Industries Board and the defacto Dictator of the United States

Excerpt from Henry Ford Article, THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT, issue of 4 December 1920: Now, as to Mr. Bernard M. Baruch, who for some as yet undefined reason was made head and front of the United States at war, we have his own word on several occasions that he was the most important man in the war. “I probably had more power than perhaps any other man did in the war; doubtless that is true,” he told Representative Jefferis. And again: “We had the power of priority, which was the greatest power in the war. Exactly; there is no question about that. I assumed that responsibility, sir, and that final determination rested within me.” And when Representative Jefferis said “What?” to that startling statement, Mr. Baruch repeated it: “That final determination, as the President said, rested within me.” Representative Graham said to him: “In other words, I am right about this, Mr. Baruch, that yours was the guiding mind? ” And Mr. Baruch replied: “That is partly correct—I think you are entirely correct” http://www.noontidepress.com/books/ford/ij26.html

The Baruch Plan for World Government

“In 1946, the US government put to Stalin a plan for World Government, created by Bernard Baruch & David Lilienthal, both Jews. This plan was put in the pages of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Bertrand Russell described its development in his book Has Man a Future? Baruch had earlier been associated with Wilson’s attempt to have the League of Nations created as a World Government, with a World Army and a World Court. The Encyclopaedia Judaica (Jerusalem, 1971) says that Baruch “served on the Supreme Economic Council at the Conference of Versailles, where he was President Wilson’s personal economic adviser”. ” http://mailstar.net/baruch-plan.html

American Babylon – Rise and Fall – Part 4:  A One World Vision, New York City, and the CFR  (excerpts)

Excerpt: “Initial funding for the CFR came from individual members, chiefly those associated with the Morgan Group, and then later coming predominantly from the Rockefeller Group. In the late 1930s the CFR began to receive funding from the major foundations, first coming from Elihu Root’s Carnegie Corporation, and then from the Rockefeller Foundation, of which fourteen of its twenty-one trustees were CFR members in 1939. The CFR’s current headquarters at the Pratt House in New York City came from the Rockefeller circle, donated to the Council in 1945 by Mrs. Harold I. Pratt, whose fortune came from her husband’s years as an employee of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. “

Excerpt: “The CFR Creates the Postwar World… Now that the dominant role of the New York financial oligarchy within the CFR has been explained, it is time to examine the hugely influential role that has been played by the CFR in formulating the economic and foreign policies of the United States government since even before World War II. After Herbert Hoover was defeated by FDR the Establishment was faced with the emerging reality that laissez faire economic policies had been a major factor creating the Great Depression. The emerging trend became that of economic nationalism, and the monopoly held by the corporate/financial Establishment over economic decisions was challenged. The government was asked to take a role in regulating a fair financial climate and FDR’s New Deal was a step in this direction. To meet the threat of “Big Government” the CFR’s secretary-treasurer Edwin F. Gay published an article in the CFR’s journal Foreign Affairs, which was followed by a study group that was chaired by John Foster Dulles and included influential members of FDR’s administration.

The end result was that the extent of FDR’s domestic economic reforms were scaled back, and the passage of the Export-Import Bank and Trade agreements Act in 1934 “marked a return to traditional emphasis on foreign trade expansion as a solution to domestic problems.” FDR was indeed influenced by the banking establishment, but he was influenced to tilt decidedly towards the right, in a direction that favored Wall Street and laissez faire capitalism, rather than towards the left as some conservative critics of FDR continue to imagine. During World War II the CFR’s most important program was its War and Peace Studies Project. IBT explains,

The Second World War and the subsequent cold war were decisive turning points in the history of American foreign policy. They marked a move on the part of the United States toward a full-blown imperialism – a largely successful attempt to organize a single, world-spanning political economy with the United States at the center. Providing the intellectual rationale and leading this thrust toward global power was the Council on Foreign Relations…

Among the groups depending on the Council for “light and guidance” was the United States Department of State. The department had just incorporated the top leadership of the Council’s special War and Peace Studies Project into its own Advisory Committee on Postwar Foreign Policy, and the Council’s research secretaries for the project into its own planning staff for half of each week. The War and Peace Studies were a turning point in American history… The War and Peace Studies Project began in 1939 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. It was divided into five study groups (Economic and Financial, Political, Armaments, Territorial, and Peace Aims) that focused on specific aspects of the future postwar world, and plotted how to guide US foreign policy in a way that ensured the dominance of the New York-based financial and corporate powers.

IBT documents the role of the Project in chapter four entitled:

“Shaping a New World Order: The Council’s Blueprint for World Hegemony, 1939-1975.” At least four major postwar global institutions were planned either within the War and Peace Studies Project, or elsewhere within the CFR during the war, and then created afterwards. The IMF and the World Bank were also envisioned early on within the CFR.

In November 28, 1941 a memorandum was dispatched to FDR and the Department of State from the Economic and Financial Group of the War and Peace Studies Project. It mentioned the need for a US/UK board of financial experts to be set up to plan for an “international investment agency which would stimulate world trade and prosperity by facilitating investment in developmental programs the world over.” This memo was then followed up by recommendations for what the board itself should recommend. Jacob Viner, the professor of economics at the University of Chicago who led the Group said in February of 1942, “It might be wise to set up two financial institutions: one an international exchange stabilization board and one an international bank to handle short-term transactions not directly concerned with stabilization.” Viner’s recommendations became a reality in 1944 at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, when both the IMF and the World Bank were created under firm Anglo-American control. The role that these organizations have played in helping the Anglo-American Establishment “gradually absorb the wealth of the world” will be covered below.

The creation of the United Nations was also recommended by the CFR during the war, and the eighteen acres on the east side of Manhattan on which the UN headquarters now stand was donated to the UN by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1946.

The first serious planning for the UN began with the Informal Agenda Group established by Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Hull was not a CFR member, but he was acting on CFR proposals and five out of the six original members of the IAG were members of the CFR. After the IAG produced a draft for the proposed UN they then turned to three distinguished lawyers to rule on its constitutionality. They were Myron C. Taylor (CFR director), John W. Davis (former CFR President and current director, and lawyer for J.P. Morgan Co.), and Nathan L. Miller the former governor of New York. When the UN was officially created at the international conference in San Francisco in 1945 the American delegation included seventy-four CFR members. http://www.redmoonrising.com/AmericanBabylon/Part4.htm

Benjamin V. Cohen -  A Jewish-Zionist, Co-Author of Lend-Lease Act, a program under which the allegedly neutral USA supplied the UK, the USSR, Republic of China, Free France, and other Allied nations with materiel between 1941 and 1945. It was signed into law on March 11, 1941, a year and a half after the outbreak of World War II in Europe in September 1939. This was nine months before the U.S. entered the war in December 1941.

I alluded briefly earlier to H.G. Wells. who was a huge proponent of a “New World Order”.  Researcher Fritz Springmeier also had a lot to say about Wells:

“Written in 1913, Well’s ‘The World Set Free’ predicted the use of atom bombs and the effect of nuclear war long before scientists considered the possibility. It also predicted the breakthrough in 1933, when the details of nuclear chain reaction were discovered. In other books, Wells said a NWO would come about by the elite controlling the air and sea lanes, as well as energy production, which indeed they have done.

Another incredible visionary idea was the concept of air superiority. Whoever gains control of the air will consistently win the ground battle. This has been shown since W.W. I, but it was not realized when H.G. Wells conceived it, and it has taken many years for people to accept the idea.

Not only did H.G. Wells predict modern warfare, the bombing of London, atom bombs, the League of Nations, stealth fighters over Iraq, space flight and countless other details of the future, far in advance of their eventual happening, as well as mapping out in detail how a New World Order could be created, but he participated in causing events to take place.

He was a major player to create the League of Nations. When the Russian Revolution occurred [orchestrated by the International Bankers!] , H.G. Wells (who was known simply as H.G.) went to Russia to trade ideas with Lenin on how to follow up the Revolution to create a New World Order. They disagreed, and parted disliking each other. (The disagreement stemmed over H.G.’s vision that the elite families through business and technology would create the New Order. Lenin wanted to socialize things directly through strong government.)

Much later in 1934, H.G. visited personally with FDR in the U.S. and Stalin in Moscow. (By the way, all three were Freemasons.) After visiting with FDR, H.G. declared that the “United States…[was] the most effective transmitting instrument possible for the coming of the new world order.” He felt that FDR was incorporating  H.G.’s Open Conspiracy ideas for bringing in the NWO that H.G. had been advocating, for instance, FDR’s brain trust, technocratic string pullers like Felix Frankfurter and Raymond Moley, who made policy for FDR. After his meeting with Stalin, he described Stalin, “I have never met a man more candid, fair and honest…and to nothing occult and sinister…everyone trusts him.”

Over the years, he advocated the U.K. help the U.S.S.R. Readers may realize from this that the U.S., the U.S.S.R. and the U.K. have all been guided toward the same goal, but have been taking different paths. In general, H.G. was a guru to his generation, and after his death a society in his name continued promoting his views. While he networked with countless persons around the world directly promoting his views (which obviously lined up with “The Plan”), his books quietly served a more subtle but important role. “

And now, finally to Roosevelt himself,  Curtis Dall, FDR’s son-in-law, stated in his book, My Exploited Father-in-Law:

“For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn’t. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations – One World Money group.

Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared “ammunition” in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support.

“The UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power. “The depression was the calculated ‘shearing’ of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market….

The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.“

Franklin D. Roosevelt  said:

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” ~ A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 21st, 1933

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way.” ~ U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt

FINAL COMMENTS:

This was a long read and I thank you if you made it this far, but it is by no means an exhaustive examination of the “Brain Trust”.  It is really merely and introduction!  But it should now be clear, who and what type of people these were  in Roosevelt’s “Brain Trust”,  as well as, what sort of an agenda they had, and that it was by not limited to the United States either, but global.  THEY wanted to control the world! THEY were the threat to freedom and to sovereign nations!

While there certainly was no Internet back then the 1930s, but honest reporters and investigative journalists should have been “all over” many of these facts, reporting on them, and “informing” the public about what was an “open conspiracy” and pretty obvious one!  But instead, the propaganda, fear mongering about Germany and Adolf Hitler continued to be spewed while Americans were  left in the dark about what was going on around them, about who was running the show, and what they had in store for America and the world.  That should also tell us that control over the media in America and the western world was already quite well established.

Hitler, by the way, had NO plans to “take over the world”! The facts pertaining to Freemasonry (and other secret societies), International Banking, and the collusion between International High Finance and Marxist-Bolshevik-Communism were known to many in the early days of the  NSDAP, going back to it’s inception, and would later became publicly known in National Socialist Germany.

There was no doubt in Hitler’s mind as to who was waging war against Germany, as we shall see in Part 3 of this series.

GERMANY’S DEFENCE – A Letter to the Editor from 1933 – Part 1 of 3

GERMANY’S DEFENCE

STATED BY CONSUL-GENERAL,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, 
Friday 21 July 1933  - 

Sir,  In the sub-leader of yesterday’s “Sydney Morning Herald” dealing with Germany and the position of the Jews, the opinion is expressed that “no one should be penalised because of his religious tenets.” (That editorial is included below)

I should like to say that this is precisely the situation in Germany, where far from being restricted, the churches are actively supported by the Government, as is evident from the recent conclusion of a concordate with the Holy See, the unification of the Protestant churches, the restoration of prayers to the State schools, the introduction of religious functions in connection with important public ceremonies, and the complete suppression of the activities of anti-religious societies.

The measures recently taken in Germany are not directed against the Hebrew religion, but solely against revolutionary, communistic, destructive, and anti-patriotic Jewish influences in the political, cultural and economic life of the nation. To substantiate this statement suffice it to point out that in the revolutionary Government formed in Germany in 1918 were the following Jews: Hasse, Kautsky, Cohn, Herzfeld, Schiffer, Bernstein, Preuss, Cohen and Dr. Freund.

The leaders of the communistic Soviet republic established in Munich 1919, were the Jews: Levin, Levine, and Muhsam.

In the special Court (Ausnahmegericht) against Field-marshal von Hindenburg, 1919, were the Jews: Cohn, Katzenstein, and Sinzheimer.

On the other hand the influence of Jewish capitalists was growing dangerously, the following important German Banks, having been under Jewish control or direction:  Dlscontogesellschaft, Commerzbank, Dresdner Bank,Darmstadter Bank, Berl. Handelsgesellschaft, Bleichroder, Mendelsohn, Warburg, and others.

Each of the following Jews had been a member of the board in more than 30 companies:  Jakob Goldschmidt, Louis Hagen, Carl Furstenberg, Henry Nathan, Herbert Guttmann, Hans Arnold, Curt Sobernheim, Paul Silverberg, Dr. Salomonsohn, Bruno Weill, Felix Deutsch, Isidor Rosenfeld, Siegm. Boden-heimer, Ludwig Fuld, Schwabach.

Jakob Goldschmidt even being a member of the board of 108 companies. Out of 147 members of the Stock Exchange at Berlin 116 were Jews.

The demoralisation of the theatrical life in the capital of Berlin was a fact, even granted the high artistic standard of many of the productions. Twenty-three of the 29 theatre directors were Jews.

I wish to conclude with the following information which the President of the German Rabbinical-Union, Dr Leo Baeck, gave the Berlin correspondent of the “Intransigeant”:

“The National German revolution which we are now experiencing displays two intermingled tendencies:  the struggle to overcome Bolshevism and that which aims at reconstructing Germany. What is the attitude of German Jewry towards these two? Bolshevism is,  as a Godless movement, the bitterest enemy of Judaism; the abolition of the Jewish religion is on its programme. A Jew who  turns Bolshevik is a renegade. The reconstruction of Germany is an ideal earnestly pursued within the ranks of German Jews. With no other country in Europe are Jews so intimately and inextricably connected through centuries of history as with Germany. No European language means so much to them as German. It would have been correct to take note of the individual excesses and report them to the proper quarters. Instead of this, false friends have made bad and reprehensible mistakes. To give trouble to the new German Government, politicians of the Left have throughout the whole world taken Judah as their shield and attempted to damage the prestige of the National Socialists at present in power by spreading irresponsible and untrue rumours of their political adversaries.”

I should be grateful if you would publish my letter in your newspaper.

I am,  etc,

R. ASMIS,
German Consul-General.

There is no way of knowing if the letter was actually published in its entirety.  The Consul General was writing in response to the following rather long,  half-fact and half -fiction editorial.  I suspect that Herr Amsis would have taken exception to quite a number of statements in that editorial.  Here is that editorial piece and I have inserted several comments in [brackets] where I believe the Consul General would have voiced other objections not covered in his reply.

A link to the original, full editorial is also included below:

GERMANY 

(Editorial: Sydney Morning Herald, 19 July, 1933)

“Herr Hitler’s policy is a blend of contradictions. It combines some of the genuine constructiveness of Italian Fascism with a savage intolerance [intolerance of corruption which was obvious a problem to most Germans!] which is liable to defeat his country’s ends. [in fact his reforms proved remarkably successful within a short time] With his attempt to bludgeon Austria [blatant lie!] , the goal of the Custom’s union for which Austrian and German statesmen have worked, recedes [the customs union was opposed by the French! Re-union with Austria forbidden by Versailles] ; so, too, his anti-Jewish vendetta [Lie! He was a pro-German nationalist and his policies were for the preservation of Germany and not "hate"] is bound to react harmfully upon Germany [this was proven wrong. Germany prospered until the allies later declared war] . To outlaw a race [he did not do that] which has contributed so largely to Germany’s achievements in the arts, science, and material development [Oh really now? Germany was doing fine without them!] is to place a serious obstacle in the path of what he styles Germany’s regeneration. [apparently he was not familiar with the state of chaos and degree of suffering of the German people in Weimar] Hitler owes his success to the fact that he saw an opportunity and grasped it [He and the NSDAP had been a struggling grassroots movement for 13 years, why would he not "grasp it"?] . Feeding on depression, Communism was making rapid headway.  In the ten years  preceding the last election [10 years?...there were dozens of elections and failed governments] it had increased its representation in the Reichstag by tenfold, and was numerically the third party in the Chamber. [False! I will include info below*] Past Governments, holding office by virtue of precarious alliances, had done nothing to combat the menace. [which menace??] Hitler offered Naziism [it was National Socialsim and never "Naziism"!] as an antidote to the insidious poison that was spreading. He organised the resistance by clever and quite legitimate methods. In Russia, he pointed out, a resolute minority [notice how he does not say what "minority"? ] , knowing its own mind, had imposed its will on a majority too apathetic, spineless, and lacking in direction to assert itself [but if they had resisted and fought back ...what nasty names would you called them, hmmm? But apparently he thinks the Germans should have emulated them] . But the semi-Oriental fatalism of the Slavonic character was very different from the forceful virility of the Teuton. The issue had narrowed down to anti Communism versus Communism, and the Nazis [NSADP not "Nazis" ...that is a derogatory term invented by the self-described "Jews"!] were there to give believers in the former a lead. [Well, apparently it's OK to talk bad about the Slavic people and describe them in a negative way, as well as those "evil German Nazis" but it's not OK to discuss the so-called "Jews" in any way shape or form?? Very interesting!]

In consequence of this appeal, a type to which the national temperament would naturally respond, the Nazis [NSADP not "Nazis"!] scored sweeping gains in the elections last March and Hitler was installed in power. He could fairly claim that his followers were the spearhead against the Communistic advance. [indeed!] He has since addressed himself to the tasks of the economic rehabilitation of Germany and the revival of the “authentic” German tradition.  [ja wohl!] His Government has encouraged early marriages by granting loans on easy terms for the purpose of obtaining household equipment, and remissions are allowed in respect of children born. The object is to restore women to the sphere of the home and, by so doing, to provide more jobs for men.  [wunderbar!]  Taxation is to be reduced in the case of industrial firms extending or renewing their plants, and in certain circumstances complete exemption will be allowed. These concessions will involve loss of revenue, but it is considered that the disadvantage will be outweighed by the stimulus to production and the relief to unemployment which will result. There can be no quarrel with these measures. [Danke!] They have been adopted in several other countries.

But, unhappily, Hitler’s zeal for rebuilding is marred by unbridled chauvinism and bigotry [Total propaganda! And did he ever read the Versailles Treaty and all of the outrageous punitive conditions that were imposed upon Germany which brought about the problems in the first place? Talk about bigotry and chauvinism!]. His anti Semitic [look up the word "semitic" in the dictionary!] campaign grows continually more virulent. [The Nuremberg decrees did not come into effect until 1935 and when they did, the "Jews" also supported them!]  Its avowed intention is to “purge” Germany of Jews, and scarcely a week passes but these are subjected to further disabilities and indignities. [Total propaganda contrived by self-described "World Jewry" during their boycott in which they openly declared war upon Germany as soon as Hitler came to power!] Shortly after Hitler became Chancellor a decree degraded Jews to the status of “second-class” citizens, deprived Jewish professors of ,’their university chairs, limited the entry of Jews to the professions, dismissed from the Public ‘Service Jews who could not show war credentials [War credential =  those " Jews" who had proven by their actions that they were loyal to Germany! ] , and closed the Service to Jewish candidates in the future. [Closed to self-serving types and traitors serving "international" interests and agendas! Yet, there were still Jews in every profession! The question was, how did they came to dominate Germany after the war, and with what right did they expect to continue to do so, while many Germans lost everything and were living like second or third class citizens in their own country, with many starving to death and many others committed suicide? But again, read the Consul General's response]

The latest exhibition of this anti Semitic frenzy [based on "Jewish" propaganda!] is the ukase [a vague reference to Czarist Russia] empowering the Government to annul certificates of German citizenship acquired by foreigners since the war. [via a corrupt government in a sham system of governance that was not supported by the people ... hello??] It is explained that this is aimed at the multitude of Galician Jews who have migrated to Germany in that period. But technically the dispensation applies to all naturalised citizens whatever their origin. No doubt a State has the right to control the elements of its own population. But once the privileges of citizenship have been conferred they cannot equitably be withdrawn unless for anti-civic conduct. [What if they were not obtained "equitably", hmmm? Many countries revoke citizenship today based upon flimsy evidence and rumours !]  Hitler’s prejudices have impelled him to tread dangerous ground. They have alienated the sympathies of persons who, although not Jews themselves, believe that no one should be penalised because of his religious tenets. They have provoked retaliation from Jews in other lands. [Damn straight ...based upon lies and atrocity propaganda!] The Jews are a clannish folk; their common faith supplies a link between them however widely they may be scattered. [Obviously! But apparently it's not OK for others to act "clannishly"!] The international Jewish boycott of German goods and markets which is being arranged as a protest against the treatment of Jews in Germany is making itself felt. [Actually, it had little effect in Germany, as Hitler built a domestic based economy and market. Nonetheless, it was a campaign of extortion and "terrorism"!]  The plan has already been endorsed by the Jewish fraternities of seven countries, including Britain, France, and America, and more are expected’ to subscribe to it. To this is attributed the decline in German exports in June by almost £2,500,000 as compared with the value for the previous month. When the boycott is in full swing Hitler may find that, in the indulgence of his anti-Semitic furor, he has taken up a weapon whose edge has been turned against Germany.” [and all based upon lies and propaganda as the Consul General Asmis stated and which I have previously covered, furthermore, Germany was already in dire straights and it really could not have gotten much worse! It really backfired on them. Thus they plotted a military war]

* Re: German Elections:

“Adolf Hitler is invariably described as a dictator. In fact he was the only war leader who was legitimately and overwhelmingly elected in a free vote by his people.

The election on July 31st 1932 was a major victory for the National Socialists. They polled 13,574,000 votes. With 38% of the total votes cast NSDAP became the largest Party in the Reichstag with 230 seats. The Social Democrats had 133 seats and the Communists just 89. On January 30th Adolf Hitler was democratically appointed Chancellor of Germany.

At the polls of March 5th the NSDAP polled 17,277,180 votes; an increase of 5.5 million bringing their voting percentage up to 44%. In coalition with the Nationalists who had polled 3,136,760 votes this showed an overwhelming majority of Germans had made their preference for German nationalism clear.

In Adolf Hitler’s first appeal to the German nation on February 1st 1933 he asked to be allowed just four years in order to carry out the task of national reconstruction. On March 29th 1936 the German nation was given the opportunity to express their approval or disapproval of the National Socialist State: 

TOTAL QUALIFIED VOTES		45,453,691
TOTAL VOTES CAST		45,001,489 (99%)
VOTES ‘NO’ OR INVALID		540,211
VOTES FOR HITLER’S NSDAP		44,461,278 (98.8%) “

CONCLUSION:

The above Op/Ed piece displayed a great deal of  ignorance,  intellectual dishonesty, bias or “chauvinism”.  It contained numerous factual errors on a variety of points concerning, as the Herr Amsis stated in his published reply, and as I have also added  What might have motivated this editor to write such a nasty piece of half-truths to a large Australian readership? Might it have been the “atrocity propaganda” emanating from New York, London and Paris? That would be my guess.

And as I stated above, I am also left to wonder what may have been edited out of the reply from the German Consul General.  I can only speculate that he gave a much more thorough response to the claims made. It is standard practice that letters to the editor are edited in the interest of space, so they tell us, but no doubt also due to editorial bias.  A simple comparison to another editorial piece by the same editor, in the same paper, on the same time frame may serve to demonstrate his level of dishonesty and lack of journalistic integrity. That will be the subject of  Part 2,  which I have already prepared and it will follow later this week.

AP news report: Few know the story of Jews in Red Army during WWII – What role did they play?

By DANIEL ESTRIN | Associated Press – Sun, May 5, 2013  (excerpts) — Once a year, Israel’s Jewish war veterans don suit jackets and uniforms dripping in Red Army medals, the shiny bronzes and silvers pinned to their chests in tight rows like armor.

About 500,000 Jews served in the Soviet Red Army during World War II. Most of those still alive today — about 7,000 — are said to live in Israel.

Every year on Victory Day, which falls on Thursday this year, they parade in uniform throughout Israel to celebrate Nazi Germany’s surrender to the Soviet Union.

About 1.5 million Jews fought in Allied armies, including 500,000 in the Red Army, 550,000 in the American army, 100,000 in the Polish army and 30,000 in the British army, according to Israel’s Holocaust museum Yad Vashem.

Some of those who fought in the Red Army served in the highest levels of command. About 200,000 Soviet Jewish soldiers fell on the battlefield or into German captivity. Those who survived built families and careers in the Soviet Union, until the Communist regime collapsed and many of them ended up in Israel.

It wasn’t until last year that Israel erected its first monument to Soviet Jewish soldiers who served in WW II.

A museum dedicated to Jewish Allied fighters is still under construction.

Comments:

What is the significance of this?

As I have previously posted, the war really started in 1933 and not with the alleged “unprovoked German attack on Poland” in 1939.  That was merely a pretext for the commencement of military operations planned long in advance by the self-described “Jewish” International Bankster Gangsters of London and New York  for the complete destruction of Germany, and of the German people.  Poland was merely their tool, and from 1935 onward, following the death of Marshall Pilsudski, was played in order to provoke Germany into a war (which Hitler did not want and had done everything possible to avoid), and then the Poles were forgotten.  But now we are told that there were 100,000 “Jewish” soldiers  in that aggressive Polish army which had repeatedly threatened Germany, violated her sovereignty, and in a country where many thousands of horrendous atrocities had been committed against the ethnic Germans in an increasing spiral of violence in 1938. The allies and League of Nations knew about it too. Is that significant? Or a coincidental minor detail? I think it must be asked.

But if the war was really about saving Poland, as advertised, then why did Britain and France, and other allies not declare war on the USSR?  If they were really interested in “peace, democracy and human rights”, then why did they secretly work with the butcher Stalin for the complete encirclement of Germany?  Indeed, why was FDR secretly arming the USSR for many years and building up Stalin’s public image and giving the brutal Communist dictatorship recognition? Why was Roosevelt militarily interfering with German shipping and providing military intelligence to the Brits, while publicly claiming that the USA was neutral?  Even with full knowledge of the atrocities committed in the Ukraine?  Why was the BBC and British Clergy asked by Churchill’s govt not to discuss Stalin’s crimes? Why did they go along with that request? And now we read that 500,000 “Jews” fought for Stalin, including in the highest ranks of the Soviet Command.  Again I must ask, is that significant? Or a coincidental minor detail? Not coincidentally, it was Roosevelt’s support which aided the massive build up of the Soviet Military on Germany’s eastern frontier and their numerous subsequent violations of the German-Russian Friendship pact, which finally caused Hitler to preemptively strike against the Soviets.

“Well, what about antisemitism then?”,  some might ask.  ”Surely Hitler was guilty of that and had to be stopped for that reason!”  First off, the vast majority of so-called “Jews” are not “Semites”, but rather, Ashkenazi-Khazars, as the more honest ones will also admit. Secondly, a fact which the above article fails to mention is that approximately 150,000 so-called “Jews” (half and quarter “Jews”)  served and fought on behalf of Hitler and in defense of National Socialist Germany, as  they had proven their loyalty to Germany.  Why is that ignored?

Secondly, as I’ve previously covered, most Jews did not want to leave Germany and some prominent “Jews” even publicly defended Germany against foreign “atrocity propaganda” that began in 1933.   Furthermore, the allied countries were not eager to take in any more self-described “Jews” either (at least not those of the lower caste)  and they weren’t very welcome in many countries.  Hitler and the NSDAP at least gave limited cooperation to the Zionists and assisted those Jews who wanted to go to Palestine to do so. And after 1939, the allies had no interest in assisting “Jews” to emigrate from Germany to Israel.  So no, World War II had no more to do with so-called “antisemitism” anymore than did the issue of Poland.

On the contrary, it was about blatant “anti-Germanism”,  and especially, German resistance to the “New World Order” agenda of the self-described “Jewish” Bankster Gangsters.  They planned it, orchestrated it and benefited from it (as they do every war) and they had others fight it for them, committing the most heinous of war crimes in the process.   It was about ”freedom” for a clique of ruthless bankers and their minions to have their way with Germany,  and then with the rest of the world!  And it was very “good” for business!

Apparently they care not either for the lesserlings of their own tribe who fought for them,  and were abundantly represented in fighting their war, and were either tools like the rest, OR there is more to the story that we have not been told.

The above mentioned AP article also states:

“…many of the veterans immigrated [to Israel] just two decades ago and key war archives are only now being opened, allowing researchers to discover the full extent of Jewish soldiers’ role in fighting the Nazis”.

Partisans and other Black Ops  perhaps? Few realize the Soviets never were not signatories of the Geneva and Hague conventions, that heinous and barbaric atrocities  were committed against the German soldiers by illegal partisans, who often turned out to be undercover Red Army soldiers, members of the Soviet Secret Police. Or that the Katyn Massacre of the Polish leadership and military establishment was carried out by the Soviets.

I am not one who spends a lot of time moaning and shrieking about “the Jooooooz” at every opportunity, but I must ask:   Why are most people unaware of the “Jewish” declaration of war against Germany in 1933?  Why the cover up about the involvement of the self-described “Jewish” Bankers in planning, fomenting and financing the war?  Why the cover up regarding the role of 1.5 million self-described “Jews” in prosecuting the war against Germany and what roll did they play? How significant were they?  Who really won the war, and what did their victory mean in practical terms for them,  for Germany and the world?

Pointing out these facts and asking these questions has nothing to do with “hate”.  It is a matter of principle, accountability and integrity to ask such questions in the interest of an honest and accurate historical record, which should be vitally important to all those who are asked to go and fight, or asked to sacrifice their children.  It is not about being “hateful”, but rather, about being “anti-Fraud, War and Corruption” and being “pro-Truth, Peace and Justice” and expecting accountability for all concerned.  War is not a football game. It is about life and death on a massive scale, and the future of the world.

If the war was really about “freedom” or “human rights” for everyone, as sold, there would be no such terms in our vocabulary, much less in law, as “hate speech” or “hate crimes” which are only selectively and arbitrarily used in tyrannical fashion to stifle dissent and debate. It is only those who fear the truth that are truly motivated by hate and by greed, and it is they who are the ones that are engaged in the promotion and perpetuation of hatred, and who routinely practice intimidation, coercion, slander, harassment, spying, stalking and even resort to violence to further their agenda.

It is high time that all the good people who are truly concerned with Truth, Peace and Justice, and indeed “Freedom”, learned how they have been deceived about World War II (and more recent wars too), that they  figured that out this labeling game, stopped being intimidated and silenced by contrived slanderous terms,  and stopped “going along to get along”.

And who else in history has been routinely accused of that, hmmm?

Interview: Wilf Heink discusses the failed Rudolf Hess peace mission

Author Wilfried Heink was Deanna Spingola’s guest on Tuesday, April 30th, 2013 and he discussed the peace mission of Rudolf Hess, his failed flight to Britain and subsequent imprisonment. Heink argues convincingly that this flight was carried out with the full knowledge and approval of Hitler, but that it was the product of a British intelligence deception, with feigned peace overtures from various individuals within the British government.

I recently wrote that “… there were even those in Churchill’s own cabinet such as Lord Halifax and R.A. Butler who, following the defeat of the French and their own huge defeats at both Narvik and Dunkirk were ready to talk peace with Hitler ["Ten Days to Destiny: The Secret Story of the Hess Peace Initiative and British Efforts to Strike a Deal With Hitler" by John Costello, pages 17 to 19, as quoted here].  ”

But Heink adds a whole new twist to that story, plus Hitler’s own peace offers, and much more in this interview, including details surrounding the alleged suicide of Hess at Spandau Prison.

The Suppressed History of Crimes Committed on German Soldiers in WWII

By Wilfried Heink - The following essays are based mostly on “Verbrechen der Sieger. Das Schicksal der deutschen Kriegsgefangenen in Osteuropa”(Crimes of the victors. The fate of German POWs in Eastern Europe, Druffel-Verlag, Leoni am Starnberger See, 1975). It begins with a foreword by Brigadier General Wolfgang Schall, retired, POW in the SU (Soviet Union) from 1945 to 1955, as well as a statement of intent by Wilhelm Anders. No actual author is mentioned; it is a compilation of documents and witness statements by the Verband der Heimkehrer und Bund der Vertriebenen (Organization of Returnees and Organization of the Dispelled). They decided to publish this book in 1975 – as preparation for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Germany’s defeat, and the distortions of history affiliated with that defeat – were underway.

Since then, many books have been written defaming German soldiers, portraying them as brutal killers. The latest effort by Sönke Neitzel and Harald Welzer, simply titled “Soldaten” (Soldiers), features a collection of ‘newly discovered‘ British and American wiretaps, allegedly of conversations of German POWs in various camps. And of course there was the 1995-1999 exhibition,“Vernichtungskrieg. Verbrechen der Wehrmacht 1941 bis 1994”(War of Annihilation: Crimes of the German armed forces 1941-1945), produced by theHamburge Institut für Sozialforschung (Hamburg Institute for Social Research), with its many distortions and outright lies, addressed by Walter Post in “Die Verleumdete Armee” (The defamed army, Pour le Mérite, 1999). These are just two of many examples of German scribblers, who call themselves historians, distorting history. But all of them ignore the book under discussion.

W. Schall writes, on p.7:

“Was die Wissenschaftliche Kommission für deutsche Kriegsgefangenengeschichte in fünfzehn Bänden und mehreren Beiheften an Zeugnissen zusammengetragen hat, ist ein Epos des Grauens und Leidens, das oft jede Phantasie übersteigt. Und doch haben wir es erlebt und sind Zeugen — soweit wir die Heimat wiedersehen durften“.

(The fifteen volumes of testimonies, compiled by the Scientific Commission for Prisoner of War History, tell of an epoch of horror and sufferings straining the imagination. But we did experience it and are witnesses – those of us, at least, who were fortunate enough to return home.)

Mr. Schall tells us that an official body did gather evidence of crimes committed by the victors, consisting of documents as well as testimonies: a fifteen volume endeavor. Prof. Seidler writes that the Wehrmacht (Third Reich fighting force) investigations documented 8,000 cases, including crimes committed by partisans on German soldiers, the results are contained in 226 folders. The whole of it was taken to the USA and only returned in 1968, with many of the files missing (Franz W. Seidler, Die Wehrmacht im Partisanenkrieg, Pour le Mérite-Verlag für Militärgeschichte, Selent, Austria 1999, p. 87). Prof. Seidler also writes that at the end of the war the Allies were not able to prove that Germans violated that elusive “International Law”; Germans, however, had documented numerous cases of the Allies doing so (Ibid, p. 89). The President – during the IMT proceedings of May 16, 1946 – prevented the German defense counsel Dr. Laternser from pointing this out, stating:

“We are not trying whether any other powers have committed breaches of international law, or crimes against humanity, or war crimes; we are trying whether these defendants have.” (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/05-14-46.asp, p. 521)

Victor’s ‘justice’ at its finest. What happened to this fifteen volume magnum opus? W. Anders writes on p. 9:

After the End: Who Put the Bad in Bad Kreuznach?

There was no “peace treaty” in place at the end of the War. German POWs were labelled “disarmed enemy forces” (DEF) rather that “prisoners of war” in order to skirt provisions of the Hague Land Warfare Convention which mandated humane treatment, including that which stated: “After the peace treaty, prisoners of war should be dismissed into their homeland within shortest period”. By this manipulation of justice, German POWS could be taken to the lands of their former enemies and used as slave labor for extended periods, often at the cost of their lives due to grim hardships encountered before, during and after transit. Furthermore, a German soldier designated as DEF had no right to any food, water or shelter, and could, as many thousands did, die within days.

There were no impartial observers to witness the treatment of POWs held by the U.S. Army. From the date Germany unconditionally surrendered, May 8, 1945, Switzerland was dismissed as the official Protecting Power for German prisoners and the International Red Cross was informed that with no Protecting Power to report to, there was no need for them to send delegates to the camps.

Half of the German POWs in the West were imprisoned by the US forces, half by the British. The number of prisoners reached such a huge proportion that the British could not accept any more, and the US consequently established the Rheinwiesenlager from April to September of 1945 where they quickly built a series of “cages” in open meadows and enclosed them with razor wire. One such notorious field was located at Bad Kreuznach where the German prisoners were herded into the open spaces with no toilets, tents or shelters. They had to burrow sleeping spaces into the ground with their bare hands and in some, there was barely enough room to lay down.

In the Bad Kreuznach cage, up to 560,000 men were interned in a congested area and denied adequate food, water, shelter or sanitary facilities and they died like flies of disease, exposure and illness after surviving on less than 700 calories a day. There are 1,000 official graves in Bad Kreuznach, but it is claimed there are mass graves which have remained off limits to investigation.
