How three million Germans died after VE Day

by "B. H. Cramer" <Iyamhre@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 29, 2008 at 05:32 PM

The Jewish-controlled mass media never stops telling the world about the
six million Jews who died in World War II. While scientific research has
now
conclusively disproved that pack of lies,  news of the REAL holocaust -
that
of three million Germans AFTER the war's end, is now emerging.


How three million Germans died after VE Day -- Nigel Jones reviews After
the
Reich: From the Liberation of Vienna to the Berlin Airlift by Giles
MacDonogh.


Giles MacDonogh is a bon viveur and a historian of wine and gastronomy,
but
in this book, pursuing his other consuming interest - German history - he
serves a dish to turn the strongest of stomachs. It makes particularly
uncomfortable reading for those who compare the disastrous occupation of
Iraq unfavourably to the post-war settlement of Germany and Austria.


MacDonogh argues that the months that followed May 1945 brought no peace
to
the shattered skeleton of Hitler's Reich, but suffering even worse than
the
destruction wrought by the war.


His best estimate is that some three million Germans died unnecessarily
after the official end of hostilities. A million soldiers vanished before
they could creep back to the holes that had been their homes. The majority
of them died in Soviet captivity (of the 90,000 who surrendered at
Stalingrad, only 5,000 eventually came home) but, shamingly, many
thousands
perished as prisoners of the Anglo-Americans. Herded into cages along the
Rhine, with no shelter and very little food, they dropped like flies.


Others, more fortunate, toiled as slave labour in a score of Allied
countries, often for years. Incredibly, some Germans were still being held
in Russia as late as 1979.


The two million German civilians who died were largely the old, women and
children: victims of disease, cold, hunger, suicide - and mass murder.


Apart from the well-known repeated rape of virtually every girl and woman
unlucky enough to be in the Soviet occupation zones, perhaps the most
shocking outrage recorded by MacDonogh - for the first time in English -
is
the slaughter of a quarter of a million Sudeten Germans by their vengeful
Czech compatriots. The survivors of this ethnic cleansing, ****d and
****vering, were pitched across the border, never to return to their homes.
Similar scenes were seen across Poland, Silesia and East Prussia as
age-old
German communities were brutally expunged.


Given that what amounted to a lesser Holocaust was unfolding under their
noses, it may be asked why the western Allies did not stop this venting of
long-dammed-up rage on the (mainly) innocent. MacDonogh's answer is that
it
could all have been even worse. The US Treasury Secretary, the Jew Henry
Morgenthau, favoured turning Germany into a gigantic farm, and there were
genocidal schemes afoot to starve, sterilise or de****t the population of
what was left of the bombed-out cities.


It was Realpolitik, not humanitarian concern, that caused a swift ****ft in
western attitudes towards their former foes. Fear of Communism spreading
into the heart of Europe, and the barbarities of the Russians - who
kidnapped and killed hundreds of their perceived enemies from the western
zones of Berlin and Vienna - belatedly made the West realise that they had
beaten one totalitarian power only to be threatened by another.


Although MacDonogh roundly condemns all the occupying powers, the British
emerge with some credit. Apart from one Air Marshal who looted art
treasures; and an MI5 interrogator nicknamed 'Tin Eye' Stephens who ran a
private torture chamber, British hands may have been grubby, but were not
deeply blood-stained.
