- Winston Churchill was knighted after World War 2 and
buried from Westminster Abbey, perhaps the highest tribute that could be
paid to him, while Adolf Hitler has been accorded the status of perhaps
the most evil politician in human history.

- WINSTON CHURCHILL in July 1940
-
- "When I look around to see how we can win the war
I see that there is only one sure path. We have no Continental army which
can defeat the German military power.. Should [Hitler].. not try invasion
[of Britain].. there is one thing that will bring him back and bring him
down, and that is an absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very
heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland. We must be able
to overwhelm them by this means, without which I do not see a way through.
We cannot accept any aim lower than air mastery. When can it be obtained?"
[Extract from Winston S Churchill The Second World War (Volume 2 Their
Finest Hour Appendix A), Memo from Prime Minister to Minister of Aircraft
Production, 8.July 1940].

- ADOLF HITLER in May 1940
-
- Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other
way around. Hitler actually wanted peace with Britain, as the German generals
admitted (Basil Liddell Hart, The Other Side of the Hill 1948, Pan Books
1983) with regard to the so-called Halt Order of 24 May 1940 at Dunkirk,
where Hitler had the opportunity to capture the entire British Army, but
chose not to. Liddell Hart, one of Britain's most respected military historians,
quotes the German General von Blumentritt with regard to this Halt Order:
-
- "He (Hitler) then astonished us by speaking with
admiration of the British Empire, of the necessity for its existence, and
of the civilization that Britain had brought into the world. He remarked,
with a shrug of the shoulders, that the creation of its Empire had been
achieved by means that were often harsh, but 'where there is planing, there
are shavings flying'. He compared the British Empire with the Catholic
Church saying they were both essential elements of stability in the
world. He said that all he wanted from Britain was that she should acknowledge
Germany's position on the Continent. The return of Germany's colonies would
be desirable but not essential, and he would even offer to support Britain
with troops if she should be involved in difficulties anywhere.."
(p 200).
-
- According to Liddell Hart, "At the time we believed
that the repulse of the Luftwaffe in the 'Battle over Britain' had saved
her. That is only part of the explanation, the last part of it. The original
cause, which goes much deeper, is that Hitler did not want to conquer England.
He took little interest in the invasion preparations, and for weeks did
nothing to spur them on; then, after a brief impulse to invade, he veered
around again and suspended the preparations. He was preparing, instead,
to invade Russia" (p140).
-
- David Irving in the foreword to his book The Warpath
(1978) refers to "the discovery.. that at no time did this man (Hitler)
pose or intend a real threat to Britain or the Empire."
-
- Hitler saw the tremendous danger posed to Germany by
Communism. He appreciated the desperate need to eliminate this threat,
a fact that earned him the immense hatred and animosity of the Jewish organisations
and the media and politicians of the west which they could influence. After
all, according to the Jewish writer Chaim Bermant, although Jews formed
less than five percent of Russia's population, they formed more than fifty
percent of its revolutionaries. According to the Jewish writer Chaim Bermant
in his book The Jews (1977, chapter 8):
-
- 'It must be added that most of the leading revolutionaries
who convulsed Europe in the final decades of the last century and the first
decades of this one, stemmed from prosperous Jewish families.. They were
perhaps typified by the father of revolution, Karl Marx.. Thus when, after
the chaos of World War I, revolutions broke out all over Europe, Jews were
everywhere at the helm; Trotsky, Sverdlov, Kamenev and Zinoviev in Russia,
Bela Kun in Hungary, Kurt Eisner in Bavaria, and, most improbable of all,
Rosa Luxemburg in Berlin.
-
- 'To many outside observers, the Russian revolution looked
like a Jewish conspiracy, especially when it was followed by Jewish-led
revolutionary outbreaks in much of central Europe. The leadership of the
Bolshevik Party had a preponderance of Jews.. Of the seven members of the
Politburo, the inner cabinet of the country, four, Trotsky (Bronstein),
Zinoviev (Radomsky), Kamenev (Rosenfeld) and Sverdlov, were Jews.' Other
authors agree with this:
-
- "There has been a tendency to circumvent or simply
ignore the significant role of Jewish intellectuals in the German Communist
Party, and thereby seriously neglect one of the genuine and objective reasons
for increased anti-Semitism during and after World War 1.. The prominence
of Jews in the revolution and early Weimar Republic is indisputable, and
this was a very serious contributing cause for increased anti-Semitism
in post-war years.. It is clear then that the stereotype of Jews as socialists
and communists.. led many Germans to distrust the Jewish minority as a
whole and to brand Jews as enemies of the German nation." (Sarah Gordon
Hitler, Germans and the 'Jewish Question' Princeton University Press (1984)
p 23).
-
- "The second paroxysm of strong anti-Semitism came
after the critical role of Jews in International Communism and the Russian
Revolution and during the economic crises of the 1920s and 30s Anti-Semitism
intensified throughout Europe and North America following the perceived
and actual centrality of Jews in the Russian Revolution.. Such feelings
were not restricted to Germany, or to vulgar extremists like the Nazis.
All over Northern Europe and North America, anti-Semitism became the norm
in 'nice society', and 'nice society' included the universities."
(Martin Bernal, Black Athena vol. 1 pp. 367, 387).
-
- "The major role Jewish leaders played in the November
(Russian) revolution was probably more important than any other factor
in confirming (Hitler's) anti-Semitic beliefs." (J&S Pool, Who
Financed Hitler, p.164).
-
-
-
- Hitler came to power in Germany with two main aims, the
rectification of the unjust provisions of the Versailles Treaty, and the
destruction of the Soviet/ Communist threat to Germany. Strangely enough,
contrary to the mythology created by those who had an opposing ethnic agenda,
he had no plans or desire for a larger war of conquest. Professor AJP Taylor
showed this in his book The Origins of the Second World War, to the disappointment
of the professional western political establishment. Taylor says, "The
state of German armament in 1939 gives the decisive proof that Hitler was
not contemplating general war, and probably not intending war at all"
(p.267), and "Even in 1939 the German army was not equipped for a
prolonged war; and in 1940 the German land forces were inferior to the
French in everything except leadership" (p104-5). What occurred in
Europe in 1939-41 was the result of unforeseen weaknesses and a tipping
of the balance of power, and Hitler was an opportunist 'who took advantages
whenever they offered themselves' (Taylor). Britain and France declared
war on Germany, not the other way around. Hitler wanted peace with Britain.

-
- A major awkwardness concerning Churchill's conduct of
the war lies in the secret British policy of so-called 'area bombing',
adopted early in 1942 and outlined by (Lord) CP Snow in the 1960 Godkin
Lectures at Harvard University (published in his book Science and Government,
Oxford University Press 1961). Snow had an insider's view of the development
of this policy. He outlines how the sinister Professor FA Lindemann (later
to become Lord Cherwell, Churchill's chief scientific adviser), persuaded
the British Cabinet to adopt the policy of directing bombing campaigns
primarily against German working-class housing. 'Middle-class houses have
too much space around them, and so are bound to waste bombs; factories
and "military objectives" had long since been forgotten, except
in official bulletins, since they were much too difficult to find and hit'
(p 48). Snow asks, 'What will people of the future think of us? Will they
say.. we were wolves with the minds of men? Will they think that we had
resigned our humanity? They will have the right.' (p 49). Fortunately,
Snow needn't have worried. There have been and remain such powerful vested
interests committed to preserving the myths of World War II that even the
history departments of universities have in most cases assisted with the
cover-up.
-
- The respected British military historian Martin Middlebrook
says, 'In some ways, Area Bombing was a three-year period of deceit practiced
upon the British public and on world opinion. It was felt to be necessary
that the exact nature of R.A.F. bombing should not be revealed. It could
not be concealed that German cities were being hit hard, and that residential
areas in those cities were receiving many of the bombs, but the impression
was usually given that industry was the main target and that any bombing
of workers' housing areas was an unavoidable necessity. Charges of 'indiscriminate
bombing' were consistently denied.. The deceit lay in the concealment of
the fact that the areas being most heavily bombed were nearly always either
city centres or densely populated residential areas, which rarely contained
any industry.. The vital links in the dissemination of this view were the
press and the radio upon which the public depended for all wartime news..
-
- Neutral reports [of the campaign against the residential
areas of the German city of Hamburg, for example] that 20,000 or 30,000
people had been killed were dismissed as 'Nazi-inspired stories'.. The
military historian Sir Basil Liddell Hart [after the Thousand Bomber Raid
on Cologne with its claim of so many acres of city destroyed] wrote: "It
will be ironical if the defenders of civilization depend for victory upon
the most barbaric and unskilled way of winning a war that the modern world
has seen." ' (Middlebrook, The Battle of Hamburg (1980) pp 343-4].
In his foreword, Middlebrook notes 'I am likely to be criticized.. for
choosing a series of raids which produced such extremes of horror on the
ground. But I must point out that a large proportion of the raids carried
out by R.A.F. Bomber Command in the Second World War were devoted to this
type of bombing. What happened at Hamburg was when Bomber Command 'got
everything right' (p 12). In reality many of these raids consisted of initial
attacks using high explosive bombs to break up the buildings, followed
with attacks using thousands of incendiary bombs to set alight all the
fabrics, furnishing and upholstery exposed by the explosives. In this way
firestorms were created under the right conditions which burned tens of
thousands of people alive, especially the women and children at home while
the men were at the front.
-
- Churchill himself ordered the firebomb raid on the city
of Dresden (David Irving The Destruction of Dresden (1966) pp. 96-100),
Alexander McKee Dresden 1945 (1982) p 300, 306, 310) in the last months
of the war, producing the most spectacular deliberate firestorm in the
history of Europe. This action was probably the major war crime committed
in Europe Dresden was not in any way a military target, and was packed
with refugees fleeing the advancing Russians, mainly women and children
and the elderly who were unfit to fight. It is therefore understandable
that it has been necessary to distract attention away from this viciously
and appallingly barbaric act by fabricating war crimes afterwards and attributing
them to the other side, a procedure that is finally starting to come unstuck.
The Bush-Blair attack on Iraq at the behest of Zionists in the US administration
such as Paul Wolfowitz has demonstrated before a world audience the lies
that can be used to start wars, and in fact usually do. The transparency
and scale of Bush Administration lies, together with the support given
to the lies by a diverse array of other governments, is producing a revulsion
for professional politicians and their handlers and spin doctors and sponsors.
-
- While Churchill has been given titles such as "the
greatest Englishman who ever lived', this does not stand up to any scrutiny.
While he had unquestioned gifts of oratory - he may have been one of the
most bombastic Englishmen who ever lived. His ego was awesome. At a time
when he and his wife were short of finance:
-
- "Clemmie (Mrs Churchill).. told me that Winston
was most extravagant about his underclothes. They were made of very finely
woven silk (pale pink) and came from the Army & Navy Stores and cost
the eyes out of the head. This year according to her calculations he spent
something like eighty pounds on them. When I taxed him with this curious
form of self-indulgence he replied: 'It is essential to my well-being.
I have a very delicate and sensitive cuticle which demands the finest covering.
Look at the texture of my cuticle - feel it (uncovering his forearm by
rolling up his sleeve). I have a cuticle without blemish - except on one
small portion of my anatomy where I sacrificed a piece of skin to accommodate
a wounded brother-officer on my way back from the Sudan campaign'."
- [quoted from Paul Johnson, The Oxford Book of Political Anecdotes (1989)
p215.]
-
- Churchill was also quoted as having the belief that 'in
wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard
of lies.' Just what truth was he referring to - the British guarantee to
Poland, which turned out not to apply to FD Roosevelt's Yalta-agreed Communist
control of Poland, for instance?
