The Allied raped German Women
Rolf Kosick
The West Allies went into the Second World War with the aim to bring to an end the fascistic dictatorship and introduce democracy and dignity to the German people. This honourable goal is still to this day attributed to the West Allies in history books. The reality of 1945 was quite different. The victors occupied the conquered land but there was not any respect shown for dignity. The ideals they once held went to dust. Any mans of degradation, humiliation was applied, and the people were treated as monsters. When, towards the end of the war and after May 8th, 1945, the victors feared no more German retaliation, they proved on many instances what they were really thinking of human dignity - namely nothing. Cruel tortures of imprisoned German soldiers went on daily, robbing them of their personal belongings, denying them any right to a rightful hearing. High-handed sentences were given out on a daily basis in the years after the war. Women were fair game, even in the West. The French in Algeria behaved like rogues, the Americans in Afghanistan and in the Iraq war continued this practice.
Women in Germany after May 1945. Millions were molested
The enormous personal humiliations and violations of dignity towards the prisoners during interrogation happened especially in 1945. Ernst von Salomon delivered impressive examples of those deeds in his questionnaire. German women had to endure rape on top of this. The victors of the East and West are both guilty of these crimes. Millions of German women and girls were ravished by this barbaric behaviour. The estimated figures are about two million. Ingo von Münch calculates 1.4 million rapes for the territory east of the Oder and Neiße line, about 500,000 in the former DDR. Ilja Ehrenburg, (theJew rjh) distributed flyers among the Soviet soldiers weeks ahead before the Red Armey entered East Germany, calling for rape in public and killing of at least one German each day. Soldiers and Officers alike took part in it to follow Ilja Ehrenburg`s appeal. Very few officers resisted this lack of discipline and very few seldom interfered. In Berlin alone tens of thousands of women had to endure this brutal, humiliating behaviour by the Red Armey. The call "women come" became a feared word. Just recently are extensively written monographs made public.

But the western victors , (they were called liberators by the Allies. Even though NO German had asked to be liberated. Rjh) did also use this method against the defeated people of Germany, something very unworthy of cultured nations. The French let loose their coloured troops from time to time on German women and girls to show their disdain and disrespect towards them. In Freudenstadt e.g. the French officers let their Moroccan troops loose on the German public to have a field day in looting and raping. The German women and girls were considered fair game. Similarly happened in the district of Tübingen where hundreds of women where raped by French troops that came marching into the district. In Stuttgart, French white officers took pleasure for weeks on end using force on German women until the American leadership put a stop to it.
French colonial troops. They were feared for their molesting of all women and girls in that part of Germany occupied by the French.
The U.S. troops, especially when they subjected women to interrogation, practiced rapes besides their normal bodily torture. American units had already made themselves a bad name when landing on French soil, towards the native women shortly after the landing to the point, that the ‘French people wished the Germans were back. Even less moral scruples were shown by the Americans when they entered Germany. Johann Heilmeyer gave an affidavit to an interrogation hearing, that the U.S. members in his presence, raped a woman bound by her hands to a chair, torn off the bits of clothes off her body and tortured her. Other women were threatened, that, if they did not give the information to the interrogators they wanted to hear, they would be put together for a night long with coloured troops of the U.S.

On May 4th, 2010, the Süddeutsche Zeitung (German news paper published in Munich rjh) wrote about the mass rapes that were held secret for so many years. The number of women that were raped at the end of the Second World War goes probably into the hundreds of thousands if not into the millions. So far only the Red Armey’s shameful and scandalous deeds have been made public and that sits deep in the collective conscience of the post war time. “The Russians were rapists, the Americans were liberators”. That is how in 1945 German people judged after 1945. Today we know that this is not true. 65 years after the end of the war it becomes more and more clear, that many violations go the account of the French and American troops!
Contrary to the general believe, the German troops showed right to the end of the Second World War a model discipline towards prisoners and civil population alike in the occupied lands. Particularly superiors tolerated no encroachments by their subordinates towards the local women of the occupied lands. In the appeal of the German commanders to their troops it was made very clear, that violations towards women would be severely punished . If nevertheless something occurred, that can happen in a million strong army, the military justice would be swift in punishment to keep up the discipline and moral of the troops.

Comments by Randulf Johan Hansen:
Norway was occupied by The Third Reich between April 9, 1940 and May 5, 1945, during the war about 450,000 German soldiers were in Norway. There were no rapes committed while the Germans were in Norway. This was changed after the ‘liberators’ came. None of those rapes were ever investigated, neither were they reported in any of the newspapers. One must take into account that since Norway was occupied by the Allied Norwegian authorities had NO RIGHT to prosecute or investigate allied crimes towards Norwegian – such right was in the hands of the Allied, and they did NOT!
Norway was under Allied occupation from May 8. 1945 till end of 1948. During that time England had soldiers in Norway and they also had the saying in prosecution of Norwegian patriots who had fought with the Third Reich against Bolshevism.
All torture of German POWs in Norway after WWII was carried out or supervised by special trained English soldiers.
