"We lost the
war!"
CHARLES A. LINDBERGH, AMERICAN WW2 AVIATOR ACE
"You ask what my conclusions are, re-reading my journals
and looking back on World War Two from the vantage point of a quarter
century in time. We won the war, in a military sense; but, in a broader
sense, it seems to me we lost it, for our Western civilisation is less
respected and secure than it was before.
In order to defeat Germany and Japan, we supported the still greater menaces
of Russia and China – which now confront us in a nuclear weapon era. Poland
was not saved. The British Empire was broken down with great suffering,
bloodshed and confusion. England is now an economy-constricted secondary
power. France had to give up her major colonies and turn into a mild
dictatorship herself. Much of our Western culture was destroyed. We lost the
genetic heredity formed through aeons in many million lives. Meanwhile, the
Soviets have dropped their iron curtain to screen off Eastern Europe, and an
antagonistic Chinese government threatens us in Asia.
More than a generation after the war's end, our occupying armies must still
occupy, and the world has not been made safe for democracy and freedom. On
the contrary, our own system of democratic government is being challenged by
that greatest of dangers to any government: internal dissatisfaction and
unrest.
It is alarmingly possible that World war Two marks the beginning of our
civilisation's breakdown, as it already marks the breakdown of the greatest
empire ever built by man. Certainly our civilisation's survival depends on
meeting the challenges that tower before us with unprecedented magnitude in
almost every field of modern life. Most of these challenges were, at least,
intensified through the waging of World war Two.
Are we now headed toward a third and still more disastrous war between world
nations? Or can we improve human relations sufficiently to avoid such a
holocaust? Since it is inherent in the way of life that issues will continue
between men, I believe that human relationships can best be improved through
clarifying the issues and conditions surrounding them."
These are the words of Charles A. Lindbergh, probably the world's best known
aviator. Despite his being politically incorrect his massive Wartime
Journals of Charles Lindbergh became a best-seller and reached the
semi-finals of the USA's National Book Award.
Of him America's former first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis said in
referring to her Kennedy family: "That family – and me – admire you more
than anyone."
Interestingly in his book, Profiles in Courage, President John F.
Kennedy praised Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio for having the courage to
publicly denounce the Nuremberg Trials which he said had been held in, 'a
spirit of vengeance and vengeance is seldom justice. In these trials we have
accepted the Russian idea of the purpose of trials - government policy and
not justice - with little relation to Anglo-Saxon heritage."
REVISIONISTS, THE BRAVE VANGUARD
"What are we to make of all this? Are the revisionists merely a mutually
regarding right-wing sect with an eye for publicity? Or are they a brave
vanguard, with the courage at last to say out loud what was once not even
thinkable: that our finest hour was actually our gravest error." – Robert
Harris, Author and Historian.
"The mass killing of unarmed enemy prisoners between April 1945 and 1948 is
an unwelcome lesson which still remains to be learned by many, let alone
forgotten." – James Hayward, Myths and Legends of the Second World War.
IF ONLY
Many historians relish 'what if?' questions though orthodox (palace
historians and journalists) abhor them. The question that begs to be asked
is what would have happened had the British War Cabinet accepted Hitler's
peace terms of July 1940? The only reasonable conclusion would have been as
follows.
By July 1940 the Nazi-Soviet Peace Pact, which was already fraying was
obsolete anyway. Its purpose had been to protect Germany's eastern borders
from Soviet attack whilst the threat from Britain and France was met. That
threat had evaporated with the peace terms.
THE SOVIET MONSTER DEFEATED BY CHRISTMAS
We now accept that the Soviet Union was preparing to invade Hitler's Germany
so it is reasonable to assume that Hitler would have struck preemptively.
Without the distraction of British intervention in the Balkans, Greece, an
North Africa, the invasion would have taken place early in May rather than
22nd June, which was critical for success. Furthermore, there would have
been no British convoys carrying essential armaments to Stalin's murderous
empire and the tens of thousands of German troops diverted to thwart the
British threat to Germany south eastern flanks would have been concentrated
on the USSR.
By Christmas 1940 I is reasonable to assume that for all intents and
purposes the slave empire of the Soviet Union would have been roundly
defeated. At this point Hitler's Germany would be in a position to make good
their promise to guarantee the continued existence of the British Empire,
which would have meant his withdrawing support from the Japanese.
NO US – JAPANESE WAR
Obviously there would have been no war between Germany and the United
States, and under those circumstances it is unlikely that the USA would have
continued to goad Japan into attacking American interests as a means of
providing an excuse for involvement.
Germany, because of its position, its economic power, its superior form of
government and living standards, and most of all its peace terms, would have
remained a dominant influence in Europe – just as it is today. Today, the
greater Europe would be called the European Economic Community. Yes, the
Germans thought of the EEC first.
THE ECONOMIC EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
The EEC is now expanded to embrace the former eastern bloc of nations so it
could be said to stretch from Finland to the Black Sea. What was that very
famous WAFFEN SS marching son called? ;Von Finnland bis zum Schwarzen Meer'
(From Finland to th Black Sea).
CHURCHILL WAS WRONG
Churchill's famous boast of 1940 was, 'I have not become the king's first
minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.'
But this is precisely what happened. Churchill was wrong just as he was
wrong over Gallipoli, the Gold Standard, Indian Home Rule, the abdication of
the king, the imperishability of the British Empire .. . .
CHURCHILL'S CONTEMPT FOR EUROPE AND ITS VALUES
During the main battle for the Rhine crossing in 1945, Winston Churchill was
on his way with the chiefs of staff to visit Field-Marshall Montgomery. As
the British war leader, surrounded by his henchmen, passed through the main
defences of the Siegfried Line, he ordered the convoy to halt. Then, as
described by Field Marshall Alan Brooke, his Chief of Staff:
'Winston gazed thoughtfully up at the defences at the Siegfried Line. He
slowly got out of the car and proceeded to stroll alone up into the
destroyed fortification. He stood in deep thought with his back to us for
some minutes.
'He then glanced back at us with a wicked schoolboy smile on his face. Then,
with his cigar placed firmly in his mouth and with hunched shoulders and his
continuing satisfied smile, he proceeded with some delight to water the
remains of Hitler's main defences.' Brooke regretted that he didn't have a
camera with him. – Daily Mail, August 19 2002. (If the title of this book
was unclear at the beginning perhaps you understand better now).
A BIT LATE CHURCHILL TURNS INTO A NAZI
"I said that frankly, as I had listened to him (Churchill) inveigh so
violently against the threat of Soviet domination and the spread of
Communism in Europe, and disclose such a lack of confidence in the
professions of good faith in Soviet leadership, I had wondered whether he,
the Prime Minister, was now willing to declare to the world that he and
Britain had made a mistake in not supporting Hitler?
For as I understand him he was now expressing the doctrine which Hitler and
Goebbels had been proclaiming and reiterating for the past years . . . .
exactly the conditions which he described and the same deductions were drawn
from them as he now asserts." – Foreign Relations of the United States – The
Conference of Berlin – The Potsdam Conference; Volume 1. p.73.
And this is the 'man' who Britain recently voted the greatest Briton of all
time? No wonder they gets the governments it deserves as it drops ever
further into chaos and poverty.
"Our sins and our good deeds, our virtues and our vices, our good and evil
qualities alike, long suspended on the stupendous material of a world
empire, are leading us, not to one day of reckoning or to two, but to a
whole unbroken series of desperate and deadly encounters, with those we have
wronged." - Francis William Lauderdale Adams, The New Egypt. A Social
Sketch (London. T.F Unwin, 1893).
