00:00Stalin violated the Soviet-Polish non-aggression pact by invading Poland in 1939.
00:16Stalin violated the Soviet-Finnish non-aggression pact by invading Finland in 1939 without any
00:22declaration of war starting the Winter War.
00:26The heroic Finns fought back the Big Red Army.
00:33Stalin bombed Sweden in 1940.
00:36Stalin violated a provision of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, Ribbentrop-Molotov, by invading
00:42Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia in 1940.
00:47Bolsheviks rolled in to terrorize, torture, and kill the people in the standard communist
00:51practice.
00:52The Soviet cattle car deportations afflicted more than a half million Estonian, Latvian,
00:57and Lithuanian Christian Europeans who were shipped to the Gulag.
01:0112% of the entire Baltic population was either deported to Siberia or executed by the Jewish-Soviet secret police.
01:09Stalin grabbed a piece of Eastern Romania in 1940 and forced Romanian to surrender Bessarabia, Moldavia.
01:17In a sickening double standard, the Allies remained silent about this brutal Soviet aggression.
01:23Instead, the Churchill-Stalin pact was signed on 15th of October 1939.
01:29Secretary of State for War Churchill signed the executive documents of this pact on 8th
01:34of February 1940 in London.
01:36The Allies did not give a rat's ass about Poland.
01:40They only used her to start the war against Germany.
01:43And now?
01:44Still no boycotts and no war declarations on Soviet.
01:48No anti-communist propaganda in the media.
01:51And no Stalin is the warmonger.
01:54Nothing.
01:55Since 1933, when he befriended the Soviets, Russell had consistently maintained close relations
02:02with people who were either communists or communist sympathizers.
02:05Hitler was well aware that Stalin was on his way to invade Europe.
02:09His suspicions about Stalin have since the fall of Soviet been proven as being legitimate.
02:14Document number 103202-06, signed Chief of Staff Kirill Maretsko in 1940, revealed that Stalin
02:24was preparing to invade Western Europe in July 1941 in a massive invasion called Operazia
02:30Grossa .
02:33It is dated 18th of September 1940, three months before the German Operation Barbarossa was signed.
02:41After Georgi Sukhov became Chief of the General Staff in February 1941, the plan was called
02:48MP41 .
02:51It can be found in the so-called Osobaya Papka, a file which contains about 100,000 top-secret
02:59documents.
03:00In the book Lerukol or Icebreaker, Russian Jewish historian Viktor Suvarov gives us compelling
03:06proof that Hitler was forced into a pre-emptive strike against a massive Soviet military machine,
03:12ready to invade and destroy the whole of Western Europe.
03:16The Soviet Union had already moved division after division closer to the German border.
03:24It was producing 5 to 10 times the number of tanks, machine guns, cannons and airplanes
03:31that Germany was able to produce.
03:33For every month that passed by, Germany's odds got worse.
03:41Given the communists openly stated the ambition of conquering the world, there could not have
03:49been any doubt that Stalin was ready for an assault on Germany.
03:54In 1941, Admiral N.G. Kuznetsov was a Soviet Navy minister as well as a member of the Central Committee
04:02of the Soviet Communist Party.
04:03In his post-war memoirs, he recalled, For me there is one thing beyond all argument.
04:08Stalin not only did not exclude the possibility of war with Hitler's Germany, on the contrary,
04:15he considered such a war inevitable.
04:16Stalin made preparations for war, wide and varied preparations, beginning on dates which
04:21he himself had selected.
04:22Hitler's Germany was a former Soviet Union and a former Soviet Union.
04:27On the contrary, he considered such a war inevitable.
04:31Stalin made preparations for war, wide and varied preparations, beginning on dates which
04:36he himself had selected.
04:38Hitler upset his calculations.
04:40German Italians had learned of the planned Soviet attack on Europe and prepared the counter
04:45plan, Operation Barbarossa.
04:48On 22nd of June 1941, Hitler invaded Soviet in a pre-emptive attack.
04:55This German pre-emptive strike saved Europe from the Red Army, at least for a while.
05:00Stalin was about to strike Western Europe with three million soldiers when getting caught
05:05with their pants down as German soldiers carried belt buckles engraved with the words
05:10Gott mit uns entered their now anti-Christian Red Land.
05:15From the Baltic to the Black Sea, German soldiers were getting into positions to launch the invasion.
05:23The most brutal battles in recorded history took place along the Eastern Front, which stretched
05:28back to Germany through the Soviet Union, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, the Balkans, Ukraine, Belarus,
05:36Poland and the Baltic states.
05:38In these landscapes, Europe's bravest soldiers sacrificed their lives to liberate Europe from
05:43the terror of the Bolsheviks.
05:46Ukrainians, Russians, Estonians, Latvians and other Eastern Europeans welcomed the Germans
05:53as they were liberated from the slavery and torture previously endured on their Soviet hands.
05:58Local women blessed the Germans as they passed.
06:01Women gave the soldiers food, and the soldiers even helped them, restoring homes and churches.
06:14The German villages, what was left of us was herded into the cattle trains and shipped to Siberia.
06:21And quite a few villages really disappeared that way.
06:25And it was literally a matter of hours, if not minutes, until our turn in Halbstadt came.
06:31And I understand that actually half of Halbstadt was exiled.
06:35And we were already sitting at the railroad station.
06:38This was September 1941, when the German army overran the Ukraine and stopped the exiling,
06:45stopped the trains, they stopped the trains.
06:48And it was to us as if the Lord had sent us the angels.
06:53Here were people who spoke German, who spoke high German,
06:58who stopped the terror that had been upon us for 25 years,
07:02who came and opened the churches for us and said,
07:05you can have all the services you want.
07:08It was like heaven.
07:10My grandmother, to the day she died, never stopped talking about the wonderful two years that she had
07:18with the German army, when the German army came and took over the villages.
07:23They moved in on us.
07:25They took over the houses.
07:26We gave them gladly.
07:28My grandmother started cooking as if cooking went out of fashion.
07:32And it was magnificent when the Germans came.
07:36And they set up, apparently, certain headquarters there.
07:39They had some radio broadcasts, certain stations and so on.
07:42But most of them moved, of course, ran over us and moved east in their fight toward Moscow,
07:47in their push toward Moscow.
07:51But some stayed back.
07:53And we were absolutely convinced that the Germans had come to save us from communism.
07:58And never was there any reason for us to change our minds.
08:01Why should we?
08:02The Germans were heroes in our eyes.
08:04As the Germans advanced east, millions of Russians refused to fight for Stalin,
08:31and instead surrendered to the Germans.
08:34Stalin's tyranny was hated by every freedom-loving Russian.
08:37So hated, in fact, that whole formations surrendered and volunteered to fight for the Germans instead,
08:43taking back their motherland from the terror of Jewish Bolshevism.
08:47Hitler viewed communism as a poison to Europe, and decided that his life's purpose was to root out and destroy it.
08:54The Germans had nothing against the Russians as people, but instead against communism.
09:00Many Russians volunteered to fight for Hitler instead.
09:03Nearly half a million Russian volunteers served on the frontlines, and another 100,000 or more serving in other non-combat positions.
09:11The anti-communist soldiers of the Russian Liberation Army wore German uniforms with a Russian patch.
09:18In 1944, it was officially renamed the Armed Forces of the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia.
09:26They were led by General Andrey Vlasov, but under German high command.
09:30They fought bravely, primarily in key roles against the communist partisans.
09:35General Vlasov and Heinrich Himmler met and ironed out details of the formation of a massive new army composed of Russians.
09:43They went over what was called the Smolensk Manifesto, written in 1942, which outlined goals of liberating Russia from the communist occupation.
09:53It stipulated that in the new Russia, every people will obtain national freedom, including the right of self-determination.
10:00The realization of this right to national independence and freedom is possible.
10:04However, only after destroying Stalin and his clique.
10:08Himmler and Vlasov agreed that there would initially be five divisions organized from Russian POWs and workers from the occupied Eastern territories,
10:17whose number by then had reached over five million.
10:22Hitler also formed the Einsatzgruppen, units for the necessary removal of the bloodthirsty Jewish-Bolshevik leadership from the Soviet cities.
10:32Criminal communist partisans were executed and hanged as punishment for what they had done to the Christian Russians.
10:39Stalin was now rumored to have suffered a breakdown.
10:43Ada Fittler explained.
10:45You probably all felt that this was a bitter and difficult step for me.
10:50The German people have never had hostile feelings towards the peoples of Russia.
10:54During the last few decades, however, the Jewish-Bolshevist rulers in Moscow have attempted to set not only Germany, but all of Europe as flame.
11:03Germany has never attempted to spread its National Socialist worldview to Russia.
11:09Rather, the Jewish-Bolshevist rulers in Moscow have constantly attempted to subject us and the other European peoples to their rule.
11:17They have attempted this not only intellectually, but above all through military means.
11:24The results of their efforts in every nation were only chaos, misery and starvation.
11:31Before the Battle of Moscow, Hitler had succeeded in defeating the Soviet army and taking numerous prisoners.
11:38Then, an unbelievable freeze happened.
11:4140 to 50 degrees Celsius below zero.
11:45The cold caused problems for the Germans.
11:47The German troops had only summer uniforms and equipment was also freezing on the spot.
11:52No tanks could move.
11:54The weather would intensify and temperatures plummet.
11:57Time would decisively turn against the Germans.
12:00And before the last push of Wehrmacht into Moscow, Germany was stuck.
12:05Meanwhile, Roosevelt extended a Lend-Lease Act which would send even more financial and military aid to the Soviet Union.
12:2411.3 billion or around 150 billion dollars today to save the communist regime.
12:31It was at that time the masses of Siberian troops were brought back from the Russian Far East and thrown against the Germans.
12:39The Germans did not manage to take Moscow and were instead pushed back again.
12:44Stalin felt the need to have his troops backed by blocking units tasked to execute anyone retreating from the front.
12:52He also branded anyone captured as a traitor and later executed these former prisoners while sending their family members to the camps.
13:00You have to remember that when the Red Army marched, behind the Red Army was a second army, the NKVD Army, which had its own tanks, its own machine guns and so on, firing forward so that nobody could move back.
13:16Stalin's son, Jacob Sugashvili, was captured by the Wehrmacht in 1942.
13:22The Wehrmacht offered to exchange German prisoners with Stalin for the return of his son.
13:28Stalin rejected this and stated, I have no son named Yukov.
13:32Although the circumstances are unclear, Yukov later died in captivity.
13:37Some say that he ran into a fence surrounding a POW camp, some say that he was shot when trying to escape.
13:47Closing into Stalingrad, Stalin now cowardly fled the city.
13:53The Battle of Stalingrad between the Germans and the Soviets was fought for control of the strategically vital Soviet city that Stalin had named after himself, today known as Volgograd.
14:05The battle was one of the bloodiest in history, with military and civilian deaths of nearly 2 million.
14:11Stalin's refusal to pull the Red Army out of the city led to a long barrier and tremendous amount of suffering for the hungry citizens.
14:19In July 1942, Stalin issued an order preventing any civilians, even women and children from leaving the city.
14:26After the German offence captured most of the city, the US Lend-Lease equipped Red Army destroyed the Germans with bloody house to house fighting.
14:36The losses suffered by the Germans would make victory in Russia impossible.
14:42Germany's war economy was not set to total war mode until 1943, i.e. too late.
14:50On February 2, 1943, Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus finally surrendered to the Soviets.
14:57300,000 German, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian and Italian soldiers, including 35,000 Russian volunteers,
15:05fighting for Germany against the communists, had now been surrounded.
15:10Over 11,000 refused to lay down their weapons that the officials surrendered, preferring instead to fight until death against the Bolsheviks.
15:19By early march, all resistance had been wiped out.
15:23Those who remained were forced to march east or work themselves to death in Soviet death camps.
15:30Historians have now confirmed that of the 11,237 letters that were sent by soldiers to their families,
15:38almost all of them expressed a willingness and determination to fight communism and die fighting for National Socialism and the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler.
15:48The Battle of Stalingrad would be a turning point in the war.
15:53After the Battle of Kursk in 5th of July to 23rd of August 1943, the Germans were outnumbered by more than 2 to 1,
16:02and suffered casualties of around 203,000, while the communists lost 803,000.
16:08The Germans did not achieve their goal.
16:10Germany was forced into a full-scale retreat as the U.S. opened a new front in Italy.
16:16Germany would never again regain the initiative in the war.
16:23The Germans were steadily forced completely out of Soviet territory,
16:27after which the Soviet pursued them across Eastern Europe and into Germany itself in 1945.
16:32The Germans would now fight in freezing weather conditions,
16:35and at the same time offer much-needed protection to refugees fleeing the murderous communists.
16:41More and more people desperately fled west to reach safety from the communists.
16:46And then, of course, in 1943 the story changed and the Germans were pushed back,
16:52and in the push back they moved us with them, what was left of us.
16:57And we went willingly. There was no moving at gunpoint.
17:01Had we stayed back, the communists would have taken us and executed us or shipped us to Siberia.
17:07So we very, very willingly moved, retreated with the Germans.
17:12You know, here we were walking toward the Reich, toward Germany,
17:17which had always been in our minds a fictitious place.
17:20We absolutely believed in Adolf Hitler.
17:23We believed in the nature of his struggle, in the merits of his struggle.
17:29We had these magnificent German soldiers protecting us all the way,
17:33and we were walking into the Reich.
17:36So there were lots of songs along the way in the beginning, in the fall.
17:41There were all these Hitler youths with their beautiful snappy clothing and on bicycles,
17:46and they were giving us fresh water.
17:48And the BDM girls were cooking and, you know, serving us coffee and so on.
17:54We always were fed by the army.
17:56They had field kitchens traveling grim.
17:59Then the winter came, and food was getting short.
18:03The horses were getting sick.
18:06The road was getting narrower.
18:08It was extremely cold.
18:09When I think of the war and of the trek, I do not think of hunger so much as of cold.
18:15It was always, always cold.
18:17That's what I remember.
18:19And then, of course, once the winter came, it became harder and harder.
18:25We had to often stay overnight in strange houses.
18:29The army would confiscate houses, would put the refugees there.
18:33The army protected us to the end.
18:36The army never, ever let us down, never let us down to the very end.
18:41Keep in mind also that Germany at that time did not need refugees.
18:45Yeah, that's for sure.
18:46You know, they were starving.
18:47They were struggling.
18:48They had nothing.
18:49They took us in as family.
19:12The soldiers on the ground were battling to end the war.
19:15Leading politicians were doing all they could for political reasons to continue the conflict.
19:22In October 1940, when Germany was in total control of the European war, there was no chance
19:29of British victory unless the US could be dragged into the conflict.
19:34A prominent member of the British war cabinet, Lord Arthur Greenwood offered the Jews a New
19:41World Order in hopes of enlisting their support to bring a reluctant America into the war conflict
19:47in the same way it had done in 1917 with the Balfour Declaration that promised Palestine to
19:53the Jews in exchange for bringing about US entry.
19:57Greenwood made a prophetic statement.
19:59When we have achieved victory, and we surely shall, Greenwood promises, in the rebuilding
20:05of civilized society after the war, there should and will be a real opportunity for Jews everywhere
20:11to make a distinctive and constructive contribution, and that 10 million American boys will be needed
20:18to do the job.
20:19The US would enter the war 14 months later.
20:24Chaim Weissmann said to Churchill in September 1941,
20:28We managed to drag the United States into the First World War.
20:31And if they, the US, do what we demand in regards to Palestine and the Jewish Armed Forces,
20:38then we can get the Jews in the USA to drag the United States into this one too.
20:44Already in 1939, Brigadier General George Van Horn Mosley exposed the plan in the New York Tribune.
20:52The war now proposed is for the purpose of establishing Jewish hegemony throughout the world.
20:59Even though the British Empire already had vast resources and millions of men at her disposal,
21:06Churchill and Roosevelt would now push for the US to enter the war.
21:10Never before in history were the American people as anti-war or as united in their views as they were in 1939
21:18about staying out of what they saw as yet another European civil war.
21:22The Gallup poll showed 94% of the American people was absolutely against participation in the war when it began in September 1939.
21:32The ordinary people were tired of these wars.
21:36Despite this fact, Roosevelt forced laws through Congress contradicting US supposed neutrality.
21:44In 1939, Roosevelt repealed the US Neutrality Act in favor of a one-sided supply of arms to Germany's enemies.
21:52The year after, Roosevelt passed the Lend-Lease Act which officially ended his pretense of being neutral in the war.
22:00He also allowed American citizens to join the British Air Force.
22:04In a violation of international law, Roosevelt proceeded to freezing all German assets in the US and announced an oil embargo against aggressor nations.
22:12One billion dollars in Lend-Lease Aid was sent to Britain.
22:16Benjamin Gitlow, founding member of the US Communist Party, wrote in I Confess in 1940.
22:22When I was in Moscow, the attitude towards the United States in the event of war was discussed.
22:28Privately, I was the opinion of all the Russian leaders to whom I spoke that the rivalry between the United States and Japan must actually break out into war between these two.
22:40Because Roosevelt was well aware of the amount of popular feeling on this issue, he would repeatedly lie to the American people about his love of peace and his determination to keep the US out of war, while simultaneously actually doing everything in his power to take both Europe and America into war.
23:01As with the case of Germany, Japan had also broken the shackles of Rothschild's interest and experienced an economic miracle and a national rebirth.
23:10It could not be allowed.
23:12Japan had to be taken out to become a milking cow of the bankers again.
23:16On 23rd of June 1941, United States Interior Secretary Harold LeClaire Ix wrote in a memo to Roosevelt.
23:26There will never be so good a time to stop the shipment of oil to Japan as we now have.
23:32There might develop from the embargoing of oil to Japan such a situation as would make it not only possible but easy to get into this war in an effective way.
23:43And if we should thus indirectly be brought in, we would avoid the criticism that we had gone in as an ally of communist Russia.
23:51Roosevelt was of course still looking desperately for a way to enter the war.
23:55He then froze all Japanese assets in the US and later forced an oil embargo on Japan in an international act of hostility.
24:03As a direct result, Japan now lost access to 75% of her overseas trade and 88% of her imported oil.
24:11This led to Japan now having insufficient resources to continuing her war with China.
24:16To avoid war, the Japanese first entered into negotiations with US officials who demanded that Japan first would withdraw from China before any embargoes would end.
24:26Roosevelt of course knew that the Japanese never would let themselves be humiliated in such a way.
24:33If the Japanese refused it, the embargo would continue and they would collapse from economic strangulation.
24:39If they complied and redrew all troops from the mainland, communism would sweep Eastern Asia, exactly as happened after the war, resulting in communist China and the Korean and Vietnam wars.
24:51The Japanese were given a two-headed coin, die by starvation or die by communism.
24:58They decided to reject both of these options and fight instead.
25:03War Secretary Henry Stimson phrased it in his diary.
25:06We face the delicate question of the diplomatic fencing to be done so as to be sure that Japan is put into the wrong and makes the first bad move, overt move.
25:16The question was how we should maneuver the Japanese into the position of firing the first shot.
25:24The major organization which propagated up public support for US involvement in the European war before the Pearl Harbor attack was the cleverly named Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies.
25:35At the end of 1940, West Virginia Senator Rush D. Holt issued a detailed examination of the committee.
25:43The committee has powerful connections with banks, insurance companies, financial investing firms, and industrial concerns.
25:51These in turn exert influence on college presidents and professors, as well as on newspapers, radio, and other means of communication.
25:59If the committee succeeded in getting the US into war, Holt warned American boys will spill their blood for profiteers, politicians, and patriots.
26:09If war comes, on the hands of the sponsors of the White Committee will be blood, the blood of Americans killed in a needless war.
26:18In March 1941, a list of most of the committee's financial backers was made public.
26:23It revealed the forces eager to bring America into the European war.
26:27Powerful international primarily Jewish banking interests were well represented.
26:34In his diary entry of the 1st of May 1941, Charles A. Lindbergh, the American heroic aviator and peace leader, exposed the coalition that was pushing the United States into the war.
26:46The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it.
26:50But the administration seems to have the bit in its teeth and is hellbent on its way to war.
26:56Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio, and most of our motion pictures.
27:06Dr. Milton Eisenhower was General Eisenhower's brother. He said,
27:11President Roosevelt found it necessary to get the country into World War II to save his social policies.
27:17Early in 1941, Congressman Martin Diaz's committee came into possession of a strategic map which gave clear proof of the intentions of the Japanese to make an assault on Pearl Harbor.
27:30The strategic map was prepared by the Japanese Imperial Military Intelligence Department.
27:35Martin wrote,
27:37As soon as I received the document, I telephoned Secretary of State Coral Hull and told him what I had.
27:43Secretary Hull directed me not to let anyone know about the map and stated that he would call me as soon as he talked to President Roosevelt.
27:52In about an hour, he telephoned to say that he had talked to Roosevelt and they agreed that it would be very serious if any information concerning this map reached the news services.
28:02I told him it was a grave responsibility to withhold such vital information from the public.
28:08The Secretary assured me that he and Roosevelt considered it essential to national defense.
28:14General Elliot R. Thorpes served as a military attach in Dutch-controlled Java, Netherlands Indies.
28:20In 1941, when the Dutch broke a Japanese diplomatic code, the intercepted message referred to planned Japanese attacks on Hawaii, the Philippines and Thailand.
28:31He immediately cabled the information to Washington and promptly delivered copies of the decoded text to including President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Coral Hull, Secretary of War Henry Stimson, Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall and the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Harold Stark.
28:49Copies also went to Harry Hopkins, FDR's communist advisor.
28:55Because the US and Britain now had cracked Japan's naval communication codes, all important Japanese codes were broken.
29:02Roosevelt knew about the coming surprise attack, but no warning was sent to the commanders at Pearl Harbor.
29:11Naval intelligence intercepted and translated numerous Japanese naval dispatches, some clearly revealing that Pearl Harbor had been targeted.
29:20If a break in the US relations was forecoming, Tokyo would issue a special radio warning.
29:25The message to be repeated three times during a weather report was, Higashi no Kaze Ame, East Wind Rain.
29:33East Wind signified the United States, Rain signified diplomatic split, a war.
29:41This prospective message was deemed so significant that US radio monitors were constantly watching for it, and the Navy Department typed it up on special reminder cards.
29:51On December 4th, Higashi no Kaze Ame was broadcast and picked up by Washington intelligence.
29:58While issuing the final provocations of Japan, FDR and his military chairman George Marshall set the bait for the Japanese fish to bite.
30:28The Japanese, in the hopes of gaining an early advantage, decided to impose as much danger to the US Navy as possible.
30:36On the morning of 7th of December 1941, Japanese planes, launched from aircraft carriers, attacked the American fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
30:46Sinking or heavily damaging 18 ships, including 8 battleships, destroying 188 planes, the attack on Pearl Harbor ignited a sudden press frenzy
30:57and a wave of patriotic enthusiasm for entering the war.
31:01Roosevelt and the people around him would finally have their world war.
31:05The attack was not a surprise.
31:07Roosevelt deliberately allowed 2,400 US sailors to die without any warning.
31:14From the diary of Henry Stimson, we can see that Stimson's immediate feeling was not one of sorrow or outraged over the lost lives at Pearl Harbor, but rather of relief.
31:26When the news first came that Japan had attacked us, my first feeling was of relief that a crisis had come.
31:33Oliver Littleton, wartime British production manager, was undeniably correct when he declared,
31:39It is a travesty on history ever to say that the United States was forced into the war.
31:44America provoked the Japanese to such an extent that they were forced to attack.
31:49The text of Hirohito's war declaration appeared once in the New York Times before its allegation disappeared in the winner's official history.
31:57We hereby declare war upon the United States of America and the British Empire.
32:03To ensure the stability of East Asia and to contribute to world peace.
32:08To cultivate friendship among nations and to enjoy prosperity in common with all nations has always been the guiding principle of our empire's foreign policy.
32:17It has truly been unavoidable and far from our wishes that our empire has been brought to crosswords with America and Britain.
32:26Hamilton Fish made the first speech in Congress on 8th of September 1941 asking for a declaration of war against Japan.
32:33In his book FDR, the other side of the coin, Fish says he is ashamed of that speech today.
32:40And, if he had known what Roosevelt had been doing to provoke Japan to attack, he would never have asked for a declaration of war.
32:48Fish said Roosevelt was the main firebrand to light the fuse of war both in Europe and the Pacific.
32:54In 1943, when Japan occupied the important rice export of Burma, the British bought up massive amounts of rice and hoarded it.
33:07Churchill then ordered the diversion of food away from India in order to feed his own troops instead.
33:13Now a rare commodity, the price of rice went up four-fold.
33:18The wheat from Australia, which could have been delivered to starving Indians before, was instead transported to British troops.
33:26Even worse, British colonial authorities, again under Churchill's leadership, actually refused offers from Canada and the United States to ship free food to the starving country.
33:38Churchill intentionally starved more than four million innocent Bengalis to death to pump resources into the war against the Axis powers.
33:50Churchill hated Indians almost as much as he hated Germans because India wanted its independence from Britain.
33:58Gandhi was also very positive to Hitler.
34:01Later, at a war cabinet meeting, Churchill blamed the Indians themselves for the famine, saying that they
34:09breed like rabbits.
34:12These victims were not Jewish, and that's why you never hear about them.
34:17Churchill did not even try to hide the fact that he hated Indians and Germans.
34:22I hate Indians, they are a beastly people.
34:26He also said that Gandhi ought to be laying bound hand and foot at the gates of Delhi, and then trampled on by an enormous elephant with a new viseroy seated on its back.
34:39Churchill's colorful commentary may have been a product of his terminal alcohol addiction, or just his overall anti-social impulsivity.
34:48What makes it all a bigger tragedy is that the victims have never been compensated, and the person responsible for the famine has never even been held responsible.
34:58Instead, he has been celebrated as a hero.
35:18The soft underbelly of Europe was left vulnerable to an attack, and the oil fields of Romania fueled the German military.
35:35Hitler worried that the Allies would invade Yugoslavia, Greece and the Balkan nations to cut off Germany's oil supply and launch a final push upon Germany from the south and southeast.
35:46Such an attack would be disastrous and detrimental to Germany.
35:54But instead of just taking this opportunity to put an end to the war, Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Montgomery and George Marshall instead insisted upon making preparations for an invasion of heavily fortified northern France instead,
36:07to prolong the war, kill more Europeans, and buy the Soviets much-needed time to march westward, and eventually enable Stalin to take the whole of Eastern Europe as they had agreed.
36:17The reason for this was that Russell and Henry Morgenthau envisioned a post-war world in which the Soviets and the United States would join forces to lay the foundations for a communist international world government, a UN.
36:35At the sixth hour of the sixth day of the sixth month of 1944, British, American and Canadian forces crossed the English Channel and launched a D-Day invasion, landing in German-occupied France via the coast of Normandy.
36:48Roosevelt and Churchill had for years provided the Soviet Union with military and financial aid.
36:54Now, they would finally send in their troops to fight and die for communism.
36:58I know for communism.
37:00第二
37:18How
37:50Nearly 10,000 men were killed storming Hitler's fortified beaches of Normandy.
38:20In the end, Overlords successfully established an initial beachhead of 100,000 troops.
38:36From this base in Northern France, the Allies were reinforced for the push towards Germany.
38:42At the same time, the Red Tower advanced from the east, equipped to the teeth with advanced American aid from Roosevelt.
38:48With Italy also under Allied occupation, Germany now had three fronts to defend, west, south and east.
38:57In order to intentionally give the communists even more time to conquer and rape Eastern Europe,
39:05General Eisenhower and Marshall delayed the advance of General Patton's 3rd Army,
39:11going so far as to cut off shipments of gasoline to Patton's army.
39:15Patton sat in August 1944.
39:17At the present time, our chief difficulty is not the Germans, but gasoline.
39:22If they would give me enough gas, I could go all the way to Berlin.
39:25Between December 1944 and January 1945, the German forces made a last desperate effort to drive back the Allied forces,
39:40which took the Allies completely by surprise and almost turned the war on its head.
39:44And fought in the force around the mountain region of Belgium, the mighty German offensive would be known as the Battle of the Bulge.
39:52American forces were met with German panzer divisions in the Arden Forest battling the frigid weather as they fought each other.
39:59It was a decisive moment in World War II which would give Hitler a last chance to drive back the approaching Allied armies to the coastline.
40:06His wish was to force them back again to a negotiated peace.
40:10A quarter of a million German soldiers rolled towards the Western Front and moved their units in secret towards points east of Ardennes in late October.
40:19The Allies underestimated the Germans and thought they did not have the military strength for such an attack.
40:26In December would the Germans advance and surround Baston, then drive for the Moose River.
40:33American troops discovered German troops in front and behind them.
40:36Thousands of Allied soldiers destroyed their weapons and gave up in one of the largest surrenders in military history.
40:42The ammunition was short as battalions were down to ten rounds per gun and the weather conditions were still cold and snowy.
40:49The freezing cold conditions did not make it easy for any side in the battles.
40:53Frostbite was rampant and the bitter cold caused additional causalities.
40:57The Germans floated to encircle the Allies in Baston from all sides.
41:03If they wanted, the Germans could now have easily taken Baston, but instead they gave the Americans an ultimatum of an honorable surrender.
41:11The Allies would have none of it.
41:13Allied planes instead arrived and started strafing and bombing the Germans and dropping supplies to the Allies, enough to make the Americans turn the tide.
41:21On January 3rd, the Allies launched a counter-attack and on January 16th, patroels from the 1st and 3rd armies met north of Baston and pushed back the Germans again.
41:32By early February, the Germans had been pushed back where they started again.
41:36At the same time, the Soviets had taken the vital oil fuels in the east, which caused lack of fuel for the German tanks in the west.
41:44This lack of fuel prevented them from reaching the Meuse River and left the Luftwaffe permanently stranded.
41:50German losses exhausted the last reserves and mounted at 84,834.
41:56The remaining German forces would now be driven back to the retreat in Berlin.
42:00The Battle of the Bulge was also the bloodiest battle US forces fought in the war, which resulted in 19,000 dead, 47,000 wounded and 23,000 captured.
42:11The Battle of the Bulge
42:14The Battle of the Bulge
42:27Winston Churchill appointed the Jewish professor Lindemann as his personal advisor.
42:32Lindemann, together with Churchill, decided that Germany would be subjected to area, carpet, saturation, unrestricted bombing, or what the
42:40victims themselves called terror bombing.
42:43Lindemann suggested the bombing of German cities and that working class civilian areas were legitimate targets.
42:49These bombings began on 10th of August 1940 with the bombing of the small town of Freiburg.
42:55This was before the Germans began bombing British cities.
42:58The goal of the bombings was to break the spirit of the Germans.
43:02Between 1940 and 1945, 61 German cities with a total population of 25 million souls were destroyed in the bombing campaigns by the Allies.
43:13The Allies specifically targeted innocent civilians.
43:17Many large cities such as Cologne and Essen experienced more than 250 raids each.
43:23Churchill's deliberate strategy was killing as many German civilians as possible.
43:28Perhaps the next time round the way to do it will be to kill women, children, and the civilian population, Churchill explained.
43:36In 1943, when the US finally had rearmed the British, the civilization that the Germans had fought fiercely for was now surrounded from every single angle.
43:46Each plane heading for Germany was loaded with tons of high explosives and incendiary bombs.
43:52Over the cities, the Americans strategically bombed industrial plants during the day, while the British purposely targeted innocent civilians at night, aiming at houses of the working class communities.
44:03The plan was to inflict as much damage, to destroy as many homes, and to kill as many women, children, and elderly as possible.
44:10Churchill wanted more than two cities a month demolished until none would be left.
44:15Bomber Harris championed the bombing of cities. The city he was most focused on was Berlin.
44:20In documents from Operation Thundercloud, he stated that he wanted the total devastation of the center of Berlin.
44:27More bombs while wait would be dropped on the city of Berlin than on the whole of Great Britain during the entire war.
44:35German cities will be subjected to an ordeal, the like of which has never been experienced by a country in continuity, severity, and magnitude.
44:53To achieve this end, there are no lengths of violence to which we will not go.
44:59Guaranteed Winston Churchill.
45:05As swarms of British bombers began the systematic destruction of Germany, tons of high explosives were unleashed on the nation,
45:11as schools, hospitals, homes, beautiful ancient art and architecture were all obliterated.
45:17The allies thought that this would lower German morale on both the home and battlefronts, to the point that absolute collapse was inevitable for the Third Reich.
45:26In the horrific war crimes instigated by Churchill and Arthur Bomber Harris, hundreds of thousands of German civilians would now be burned alive in consequential firestorms in German cities.
45:39Many of these raids consisted of initial attacks using high explosive bombs to break up buildings, followed with attacks using thousands of incendiary bombs to set alight all the fabrics, furnishing and upholstery exposed by the explosives.
45:55In 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.
46:07The first explosive bombs blasted the roofs of buildings in preparation for incendiary devices, knocking out the air raid warning systems and causing massive destruction and death.
46:18Fire holes and water mains were also completely destroyed.
46:22When the roaring bombers released their lethal cargo, a crescendo of fire descended on the cities.
46:28Dresden was turned into an ocean of fire.
46:32Air temperatures rose to 600 degrees Celsius, winds up to 45 meters per second, sucked all oxygen into the center of the storm.
46:42Hundreds of thousands of people were burned alive.
46:45A RAF crewman said,
46:47There were people down there being fried to death in melted asphalt on the roads.
46:52They were being burnt up and we were shuffling incendiary bombs into this Holocaust.
46:57I felt terribly sorry for the people in that fire I was helping to stoke up.
47:01It was evil, thousands of fire bombs dropping all over the place, explosions, heat, fire, people screaming, people burning, people of light.
47:14Well, it wasn't.
47:15After about half an hour, it started developing into something which was really bad.
47:22The lot came over and dropped all these incendiaries.
47:25And then, of course, wave after wave came over, so the impact got heavier.
47:3235 minutes, 40 minutes after the first bombs had dropped, the bomb dropped outside the building that we was in.
47:39Killed my mate, Harry.
47:41And about three quarters of the people in there were killed.
47:46And so you go out and you come out of there and the whole place is a furnace.
47:51It's a furnace.
47:52It's a furnace.
47:53Because we were in the center of Dresden.
48:02It was the second wave which really brought the tornado into being.
48:09Because then they started dropping the 4,000 pound blockbusters.
48:13That bomb, which if it dropped anything within about 300 yards was immediately incinerated to feed the fire.
48:22So you get the wind coming in.
48:24That's really tornado force.
48:26And you just can't.
48:28It dehumanizes everything, anything that you've experienced before.
48:33They tried to cross over to us a group of them.
48:36And the first lot of them got stuck in the middle of it.
48:38They couldn't get away.
48:40And in the end, they caught a light.
48:44They were still alive.
48:46And then they exploded.
48:53Wave upon wave of phosphorus and incendiary bombs washed over the defenseless civilian German population.
49:00Thousands of German elderly, women and children suffocated or was burned alive in basements and tunnels where they were hiding.
49:07As the oxygen was sucked out of their hiding places and pulled toward the blaze to feed the flames.
49:13Thousands more were hurtled into the air and sucked by the winds right into the fire.
49:17Some perished in a blast of white heat, heat intense enough to melt the human flesh.
49:22Wherever there was a water fountain or canal, the city's inhabitants jumped in only to be boiled alive.
49:28The attacks left the city's a raging sea of fire.
49:32Hundreds of smaller fires merged into single huge conflagrations.
49:36Huge masses of air were then sucked in to feed the inferno, causing an artificial tornado.
49:42The firestorm in Dresden was so massive that pilots reported that their cockpits actually were illuminated by the great fire.
49:50The air suction of the fire was so powerful that it uprooted trees and lifted roofs from houses miles away.
49:57Total panic struck the people.
49:59Total panic struck the people.
50:00Total panic struck the people.
50:04That area, meant they came, that it was almost everything away.
50:07GH llegally fiery tea.
50:11GH Which area was such faces and a feathers that rained on the heat.
50:12We all wonder.
50:13We all go to the van at this point.
50:15We all go out of the crowd.
50:16We go out to theان of the hours and we all stayed in the morning.
50:20We all train with Jim's estar.
50:26We are on the shore tackle trees and went.
50:28He was the professional and Jesse positioned swimming,
50:30we wereем pokändig.
50:32The city burned, that was a fire sign, and darkness and fire sign alike, that is not to describe,
50:47that is a very strange thing.
50:49The woman with her daughter is burned.
51:02My sister has lived in the neighborhood,
51:07there are maybe 20 children in the neighborhood.
51:13They are all burned.
51:15They are all burned.
51:17They are all burned.
51:19Achtung! Achtung!
51:29Hier ist der Befehlstand der 1. Flachdivision Berlin.
51:35Die gemeldeten Bomberverbände befinden sich im Raum Hannover Raumschwein.
51:41Wir kommen in.
51:43I went down on my knees, trembled and cried.
51:53Several women lay there with their bellies burst open.
51:57And one could see the babies, for they were hanging half outside.
52:01Many of the babies were mutilated.
52:03Seems like that one I saw everywhere.
52:07And very slowly one became numbed.
52:09One acted like a zombie.
52:13Some found missing loved ones.
52:17Most, however, did not.
52:21Some people were dead.
52:47I thought, why are they nackt?
52:51Because they were on the clothes,
52:54and they took the clothes from the Leib.
53:00I saw never so many deaths as after this attack.
53:17It was a surprise.
53:23It was a surprise.
53:27My daughter was at the Saksenplatz.
53:34The Stube was at the same time.
53:38It was a surprise.
53:40My daughter was at the Saksenplatz.
53:45The Stube was at the same time.
53:48The Leichen were lying.
53:50The body was at the same time.
53:52My daughter asked me,
53:55what is this, what lies here?
53:58I said, look, don't look at it.
54:01It's all the Leichen.
54:04It was a sense and difficult to describe it.
54:10I saw a man in the middle.
54:15I saw a man in the middle.
54:16I saw a woman on my face.
54:19I saw a woman on my face.
54:20He was standing there.
54:22He was standing there.
54:23He was in the hand.
54:24He laughed loud and was very weird.
54:27It was unheimlich.
54:29I thought, the devil is on the earth.
54:31He said, we, Poland and Saksen,
54:35we had to know.
54:36We had to know.
54:37We had to know.
54:38And tomorrow, there was another attack.
54:41I was so excited.
54:44I was so excited.
54:45After the sight of the city and that person.
54:48I stood there.
54:51I was so excited.
54:53After first having blasted the targeted towns to splinters,
54:59the British and American bombers soon returned to strafe
55:02terrified groups of refugees and rescuers as they tried to escape.
55:06The allies lured the civilians from their shelters into the open again.
55:10As they thought it was all over,
55:12twice as many bombers returned with massive loads of incendiary bombs
55:16and ignited all that remained and spread raging firestorms
55:20to the places where refugee Germans had fled.
55:23US Mustangs appeared low over the cities,
55:26strafing anything that moved,
55:28including colombs of rescue vehicles and animals.
55:32The low-flying Mustangs machine gun helpless patients
55:35as well as thousands of old men, women and children,
55:39everyone who had escaped the city.
55:41When the last plane had left the sky,
55:43the cities were left in ruins.
55:45The streets were filled with rats swarming over piles of corpses.
55:49People had been liquified into a yellied mass
55:52that melted into the asphalt of the road,
55:54and some were left in ashes.
55:57Millions of refugees fled the cities,
55:59taking with them stories of the most terrible horror they had ever witnessed.
56:04.
56:09I was in jail,
56:10everything was destroyed.
56:12Then I was on the Elbwiese.
56:14And I was behind the scenes,
56:16as I saw that.
56:18The first time I saw that.
56:22And then I screamed about Dresden.
56:26The RAF's relentless campaign against Germany during the final months of the war was a massive
56:38war crime which served absolute no military purpose.
56:42The worst of all the raids was the one unleashed on Dresden.
56:46It had no strategical or tactical gain in the war whatsoever for the Allies.
56:50Dresden had no military bases, no communication centers or heavy industry and no air defense.
56:56It was known as a show place for culture and one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.
57:01This Allied air raid left 24,866 homes destroyed, 11 square miles of prime real estate and irreplaceable
57:10cultural treasures totally devastated, 35,000 recognizable corpses available to be identified
57:17and hundreds of thousands of unrecognizable ones.
57:20More than three-fifths of Dresden was completely destroyed by bombing raids that lasted more
57:25than 14 hours.
57:27Because of so many refugees fleeing eastward resided in Dresden, it is difficult to say
57:31exactly how many were killed.
57:33Most honest revisionists estimated death toll to range from total 350,000 to 600,000 dead.
57:40It was called terror bombing among the Germans.
57:43I think even some of the RAF British pilots and the Americans also knew it as terror bombing.
57:48They weren't kidding themselves.
57:49They knew what they were doing.
57:50They were slaughtering women and children down below in the German cities.
57:54This was sanctified.
57:55It was sanctioned by the British and American governments.
57:59This deliberate attempt to kill as many people as possible, a deliberate attempt to scorch from
58:04the face of the earth every German city above a certain size, let's say 25,000 people.
58:10We've all heard of Dresden.
58:11If we haven't, we should have heard of Dresden.
58:13But what most people don't know is that almost every German city suffered a similar fate.
58:19That is terrible, devastating bombing, and then a firestorm that's created by dropping
58:23phosphorus bombs to ignite the rubble that's blown this down to bits.
58:33Nothing prepared me for seeing women and children alight and flying through the air.
58:38Nothing prepared me for that.
58:39After Dresden, I was a nutcase.
58:42It took me 40 years to get over it.
58:44I don't think I even laughed for 40 years.
58:47I couldn't even laugh at anything.
58:49I said, and I still say, and I've said it in print, and I've said it, I'll never forgive
58:54the people who ordered those raids, and that goes for all of them, Churchill, Attlee, all
58:59of them.
59:00Whatever they can say, they were still carrying on bombing other cities like this.
59:04And then, of course, they tried to put the blame on somebody else.
59:07No, we were supposed to be the good guys, and we finished up being worse than they were.
59:14What annoys me is all this was done in our name.
59:19The terror bombings of Germany during World War II left about 3 million Germans dead, 500,000
59:26of them children, up to 10 million wounded, and 25 million homeless.
59:31No
