To understand World War Two, it is imperative to understand World War One, for the second conflict was a tragic continuation of the first. It would be a good idea to read “Anti-German Hysteria of World War One,” available from a link on the main page of this site before going any further. One must look beyond the propaganda, the Hollywood images and comic book presentations of either war to comprehend how and why the utter ruination of this ancient land with its historically profound influence on European culture occurred, and how a rich, powerful nation which enjoyed a positive, even glowing image at the dawn of the twentieth century would be cut off at the knees and relegated to a stature of relative unimportance today. - http://www.revisionist.net/hell-introduction.html
“The bombing
must be directed essentially against working class houses. Middle class houses
have too much space around them, and so are bound to waste bombs.” Frederick
Lindemann, Lord Cherwell

It is not your happy pseudo-Bavarian tourist village in the
USA. No good beer, buxom barmaids or oom-pah bands here. This “German Village”
in the Utah desert is all that remains of a full-scale, six block replica of
typical pre-war working class housing in Berlin. It is on a test site created
by the Allied military to develop weapons of mass destruction for use against
German civilians.
It was part of a larger five square mile German/Japanese
“doomtown” built in 1943. Despite their “successes” with their 1,000 bomber
fire raids against Cologne and Hamburg, the British were frustrated by their
inability to ignite the same type of firestorm in Berlin, so Allied scientific
advisors urged the creation of a program of incendiary experimentation on exact
replicas of German workers’ housing. According to the Air Force, Dugway’s
German village “corresponded to the type of housing in which 80 percent of the
German industrial population lived.”

Until
recently, nobody understood fully that the terror-bombing of German civilians
was not a “friendly fire” mistake, or the result of a bomber missing its mark.
We believed the tall tale that schools, churches, cathedrals and castles were
hit only when “enemy soldiers were firing from them” or because some small town
mayor “refused to surrender.” Until the Internet leaked out uncensored,
unfiltered information, most of the grim images and graphic accounts of the
horror which rained from the skies over Germany were hidden away and free from
scrutiny, judgement or condemnation. Mortality figures from Allied bombing,
kept top secret for many years, now trickled out, as did photos, personal
accounts and old newspaper clippings. http://www.revisionist.net/bombing-germany.html
Visit Some Bombed German Cities - This is only a partial list of the
1,000 or so bombed German cities and towns, many of which suffered attacks
similar to Dresden but are less well known. Some other cities are mentioned
elsewhere in these pages and there are still others for which information is
not yet available.
The Expulsion and Extermination of
Eastern European Germans: An Overview
“Since the
end of the war about 3,000,000 people, mostly women and children and overaged
men, have been killed in eastern Germany and south-eastern Europe; about
15,000,000 people have been deported or had to flee from their homesteads and
are on the road. About 25 per cent of these people, over 3,000,000 have died.
About 4,000,000 men and women have been deported to eastern Europe and Russia
as slaves. It seems that the elimination of the German population of eastern
Europe – at least 15,000,000 people – was planned in accordance with decisions
made at Yalta.” Senator Homer Capehart in a speech before U.S. Senate, Feb. 5,
1946. * More
“Kill! Kill!
In the German race there is nothing but evil. Stamp out the fascist beast once and
for all in its lair! Use force and break the racial pride of these German
women. Take them as your lawful booty. Kill! As you storm forward. Kill! You
gallant soldiers of the Red army.” Ilya Ehrenburg
“In the
windswept courtyards of the Stettiner Bahnhof, a cohort of German refugees,
part of 12,000,000 and 19,000,000 dispossessed in East Prussia and Silesia, sat
in groups under a driving rain and told the story of their miserable
pilgrimage, during which more than 25% died by the roadside and the remainder
were so starved they scarcely had strength to walk.” NY Daily News

The U.S.
Psychological Warfare Division, SHAEF, now sprang into action and began
implementing its well-crafted psychological propaganda campaign for the purpose
of developing within Germans a sense of collective guilt and responsibility.
Using the American controlled German media, they launched an intense campaign
to shock and humiliate the prostrate German public into accepting that they
were all guilty of crimes against humanity in one form or another. Also, to
“create an image of the occupation in the German mind” and enforce
“democratization,” criticism of the Allied occupiers was made illegal, as was
uttering any disapproval of Allied actions during the war, including the
civilian bombing campaigns. Captains from “Psychological Warfare” units
supervised the conversion of the German people to what they purported to be
“American ideals and values.”
