Enlarged version: The True Story of World War II, by Paul Craig Roberts - The Unz Review

 

“We must recognize that many of the fundamental ideas that dominate our present-day world were founded upon a particular understanding of that wartime history, and if there seems good reason to believe that narrative is substantially false, perhaps we should begin questioning the framework of beliefs erected upon it. — Ron Unz

The extraordinary lies that have been woven into a false history of World War II have been decimated principally by David Irving’s books–Churchill’s War and Hitler’s War and also by Pat Buchanan’s The Unnecessary War, John Wear’s Germany’s War, and by articles by Ron Unz, myself, and Mike Whitney. Whitney has just revived the assault by truth and the actual facts on a fictional WW II history that has institutionalized war propaganda as official history: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/08/mike-whitney/blame-churchill-for-world-war-2-not-hitler/

Historians have lied to us about everything, not only WW II but also WW I, the so-called US “civil war” which was an invasion of the Confederate States of America by what Lincoln called the Union, not a fight over who controlled the government in Washington, slavery, the hoax “War on Terror,” the hoax “Covid pandemic,” 9/11 and every other major event. False history is created, because historians are boxed in by the war propaganda and official narratives. To be successful, historians have to produce accounts acceptable to the elites and to readers who desire confirmation that the sacrifice was worth it. To go against the narrative is to forego a career.

I will briefly summarize the salient facts about WW II.⁸....

.... The fact that Hitler, estimated to have an IQ in the 120-140 range, did not want a war with France and England, together with his offer to Churchill to defend the British Empire with Germany’s military, suggests that he understood that the German people were not confined to Germany. Great Britain and the majority of Europe consisted of German people.

Germany was settled by the Germanic tribes: Franks, Saxons, Alemanni, Thruingians.

France was settled by the Germanic tribes: Franks, Burgundians, Alemanni, Normans (Norse Germans).

England was settled by Angles and Saxons–thus the familiar term “Anglo-Saxon” into which another Germanic tribe was later mixed–the Normans.

Scandinavia was settled by German tribes: Goths, Danes. Scandinavia was a core region for the development of Proto-Germanic culture and language. Proto-Germanic includes English, German, Dutch, and Old Norse.

Spain was settled by the Germanic tribe, the Visigoths, in the 5th century. However the Germanic content of the Spanish people was watered down when the Muslims early in the 700s defeated Visigothic King Roderic and brought most of Spain under Muslim–Arab at that time–control which lasted until 1492.

The Vikings were North Germanic peoples who settled along major rivers in Russia connecting the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, so even some Russians are of German descent.

If Hitler was claiming racial superiority for Germans, the claim included England, France, the Dutch, Denmark, and Scandinavia.

As court historians have simply assumed that Hitler was a racist, we do not know if Hitler’s claims for the “Aryan race” were efforts to bring Germans out of the despair of defeat and humiliation by the Versailles Treaty and the degeneracy of the Weimar Republic so that he could put Germany back together again, or whether he intended to eliminate non-Aryans. What was Hitler’s agenda? To restore Germany or to eliminate others? This and every other relevant question has been buried by history that consists of war propaganda.

Like every other lie we have been taught, the official narrative of World War II is a lie. Indeed, I cannot identify a single important event in which Americans have been provided with the truth. Americans live in false narratives that serve agendas and the careers of court historians.

The Jews Who Fought for Nazi Germany

By Ellen Feldman

“What was the safest place for a Jew in Hitler’s Germany? A cellar or an attic? A forest? At home with a well-connected Aryan spouse? The answer was in Hitler’s military.”
