The Biggest Cover-Up In History
This
documentary tells the tale that the victors still do not want you to know.
Learn the terrible truth about the rape, torture, slavery, and mass murder
inflicted upon the German people by the Allied victors of World Word II. This
is the biggest cover-up in world history.
Terror Bombing
Winston Churchill: German cities . . . will be subjected to an ordeal
the like of which has never been experienced by a country in continuity,
severity and magnitude . . . To achieve this end there are no lengths of
violence to which we will not go. [Garrett, Stephen A. Ethics and Airpower
in World War II—The British Bombing of German Cities. New York: St. Martin’s
Press, 1993. Page 31]
19-year-old Kate Hoffmeister: I struggled to run against the wind in the
middle of the street . . . We . . . couldn’t go on across . . . because the
asphalt had melted. There were people on the roadway, some already dead, some
still lying alive but stuck in the asphalt. . . . They were on their hands and
knees screaming. [Middlebrook, Martin. The Battle of Hamburg—Allied Bomber
Forces Against a German City in 1943. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1981.
Pages 266–267]
Author Vera Brittain: The ruthless mass bombing of congested cities is
as great a threat to the integrity of the human spirit as anything which has
yet occurred on this planet . . . There is no military or political advantage
which can justify this blasphemy. [Sorge, Martin K. The Other Price of
Hitler’s War—German Military and Civilian Losses Resulting from World War II.
Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1986. Page 108]
A RAF Crewman: There were people down there being fried to death in
melted asphalt in the roads, they were being burnt up and we were shuffling
incendiary bombs into this holocaust. I felt terribly sorry for the people in
that fire I was helping to stoke up. [Garrett, Stephen A. Ethics and
Airpower in World War II—The British Bombing of German Cities. New York: St.
Martin’s Press, 1993. Page 82]
A Rescue Worker: Never would I have thought that death could come to so
many people in so many different ways . . . [S]ome times the victims looked
like ordinary people apparently peacefully sleeping; the faces of others were
racked with pain, the bodies stripped almost naked by the tornado; there were
wretched refugees from the East clad only in rags, and people from the Opera in
all their finery; here the victim was a shapeless slab, there a layer of ashes.
. . . Across the city, along the streets wafted the unmistakable stench of
decaying flesh. [Irving, David. The Destruction of Dresden. London: William
Kimber & Co., LTD. Page 189]
A Rescue Worker: One shape I will never forget was the remains of what
had apparently been a mother and child. They had shriveled and charred into one
piece, and had been stuck rigidly to the asphalt. They had just been prised up.
The child must have been underneath the mother, because you could still clearly
see its shape, with its mother’s arms clasped around it. [Irving, David.
The Destruction of Dresden. London: William Kimber & Co., LTD. Page 189]
A Red Cross Worker: I went down on my knees, trembled and cried . . .
Several women lay there with their bellies burst open . . . and one could see
the babies for they were hanging half outside. Many of the babies were
mutilated. . . . Scenes like that one I saw everywhere and very slowly one became
numbed. One acted like a zombie. [McKee, Alexander.Dresden 1945—The Devil’s
Tinderbox.New York: E.P.Dutton, 1982. Pages 252-253]
A RAF Crewman: To just fly over it without opposition felt like murder.
I felt it was a cowardly war. [McKee, Alexander.Dresden 1945—The Devil’s
Tinderbox.New York: E.P.Dutton, 1982. Page 66]
The Rape of Germany
A Horrified Witness: In the farmyard further down the road stood a cart,
to which four naked women were nailed through their hands in a cruciform position.
. . . Beyond . . . stood a barn and to each of its two doors a naked woman was
nailed through the hands, in a crucified posture. In the dwellings we found a
total of seventy-two women, including children, and one old man, 74, all dead .
. . all murdered in a bestial manner, except only a few who had bullet holes in
their necks. Some babies had their heads bashed in. In one room we found a
woman, 84 years old, sitting on a sofa . . . half of whose head had been
sheared off with an ax or a spade. [De Zayas, Alfred M. Nemesis at
Potsdam:The Anglo-Americans and the Expulsions of the Germans—Background,
Execution, Consequences. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1977. Page 63]
Ilya Ehrenburg: Kill them all, men, old men, children and the women,
after you have amused yourself with them! Kill. Nothing in Germany is
guiltless, neither the living nor the yet unborn. . . . Break the racial pride
of the German women. Take her as your legitimate booty. Kill, you brave
soldiers of the victorious Soviet Army. [Lutz, Elizabeth. “Rape of
Christian Europe—The Red Army’s Rampage in 1945.” The Barnes Review 3, no. 4
(Apr. 1997): 9–16.]
A Rape Victim: The Russians were coming and going the whole time and
they kept eyeing us greedily. The nights were dreadful because we were never
safe for a moment. The women were raped, not once or twice but ten, twenty,
thirty and a hundred times, and it was all the same to the Russians whether
they raped mere children or old women. The youngest victim in the row houses
where we lived was ten years of age and the oldest one was over seventy. . . . [Kaps,
Johannes, ed. The Tragedy of Silesia, 1945–46—A Documentary Account with a
Special Survey of the Archdiocese of Breslau. Munich: Christ Unterwegs,
1952/53. Page 136]
A Witness from Neisse: These atrocities were not committed secretly or
in hidden corners but in public, in churches, on the streets, and on the
squares. . . . Mothers were raped in the presence of their children, girls were
raped in front of their brothers. [Kaps, Johannes, ed. The Tragedy of
Silesia, 1945–46—A Documentary Account with a Special Survey of the Archdiocese
of Breslau. Munich: Christ Unterwegs, 1952/53. Page 228]
German Soldier: We had never seen anything like it—utterly, unbelievably
monstrous! Naked, dead women lay in many of the rooms. Swastikas had been cut
into their abdomens, in some the intestines bulged out, breasts were cut up,
faces beaten to a pulp and swollen puffy. Others had been tied to the furniture
by their hands and feet, and massacred. A broomstick protruded from the vagina
of one, a besom from that of another. . . . The mothers had had to witness how
their ten and twelve-year-old daughters were raped by some 20 men; the
daughters in turn saw their mothers being raped, even their grandmothers. Women
who tried to resist were brutally tortured to death. There was no mercy. . . .
The women we liberated were in a state almost impossible to describe. . . .
[T]heir faces had a confused, vacant look. Some were beyond speaking to, ran up
and down and moaned the same sentences over and over again. Having seen the
consequences of these bestial atrocities, we were terribly agitated and
determined to fight. We knew the war was past winning; but it was our
obligation and sacred duty to fight to the last bullet. [Testimony of “H.
K.”, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany (copy in possession of the author).]
The Baltic Massacre
A Young Mother: It was so terribly cold, and the wind was like ice… the
snow was falling and nothing warm to eat, no milk and nothing. I tried to give
Gabi the breast, behind a house, but she didn’t take it because everything was
so cold. Many women tried that, and some froze their breasts. [Thorwald,
Juergen. Flight in the Winter: Russia Conquers—January to May, 1945. New York:
Pantheon, 1951. Pages 48-49]
Juergen Thorwald: Every alley, every street was packed with their
vehicles. People were waiting in every harbor shed, in every wind-sheltered
corner. Among them stood their beasts, bleating, snorting, lowing. . . . The
pregnant women giving birth somewhere in a corner, on the ground, in a
barracks. Some of them had been raped on their flight . . . [and] now they were
trembling for fear they would give birth to a monster. The strangely pale faces
of girls going up and down the streets asking for a doctor. The wounded and the
sick, in constant fear they would be left behind, concealing weapons under
their blankets to force someone to take them along, or to end their own lives
if the Russians came. The orphans who had been saved from their asylum
somewhere at the last moment and tossed onto carts with nothing around them but
a blanket, and who were now lying on the floors with frozen limbs. The Russian
prisoners of war, brought west under orders from above, walking on wooden
soles, their tattered overcoats held together with paper strings. The old
people who had lain down in some doorway at night, and had not awakened… And
the wild-eyed insane ones who rushed from house to house, from wagon to wagon,
crying for their mothers or their children. . . . Over it all the gray sky,
snow, frost, and thaw . . . and thaw and frost and snow, and the chill, killing
wet. [Thorwald, Juergen. Flight in the Winter: Russia Conquers—January to
May, 1945. New York: Pantheon, 1951. Pages 127-128]
Defeat in The West
A US Soldier: [T]he men were deliberately wounding guards. A lot of
guards were shot in the legs so they couldn’t move. They were then turned over
to the inmates. One was beheaded with a bayonet. Others were ripped apart limb
by limb. [Buechner,Howard A.Dachau—The Hour of the Avenger.Metairie,
Louisiana: Thunderbird Press, 1986. Page 104]
Amy Schrott: They just opened up the camps and let them go. The Russians
and Poles were looting the houses and killing the shopkeepers. Then they began
raping the girls. [Amy Schrott Krubel interview, Jan. 9, 1997, Topeka,
Kansas.]
A US Sergeant: Our own Army and the British Army . . . have done their
share of looting and raping . . . [W]e too are considered an army of rapists. [Kelling,
61; Time Magazine, Nov. 12, 1945; Life Magazine, Jan. 7, 1946.]
A US Soldier: Hunger made German women more ‘available,’ but despite
this, rape was prevalent and often accompanied by additional violence. In
particular I remember an eighteen-year old woman who had the side of her face
smashed with a rifle butt and was then raped by two GIs. Even the French
complained that the rapes, looting and drunken destructiveness on the part of
our troops was excessive. [Brech, Martin.“In ‘Eisenhower’s Death Camps’:
Part I—A U.S. Prison Guard’s Story.” The Journal of Historical Review 10, no.2
(Summer 1990). Page 165.]
Two German Soldiers (combined into 1 voice over): (1) [I]t’s
incomprehensible to me how we could stand for many, many days without sitting,
without lying down, just standing there, totally soaked. During the day we
marched around, huddled together to try to warm each other a bit. (2) The
latrines were just logs flung over ditches next to the barbed wire fences. To
sleep, all we could do was to dig out a hole in the ground with our hands, then
cling together in the hole. . . . Because of illness, the men had to defecate
on the ground. Soon, many of us were too weak to take off our trousers first.
So our clothing was infected, and so was the mud where we had to walk and sit
and lie down. There was no water at all at first, except the rain. . . . More
than half the days we had no food at all. On the rest, we got a little K
ration. I could see from the package that they were giving us one tenth of the
rations that they issued to their own men. . . . I complained to the American
camp commander that he was breaking the Geneva Convention, but he just said,
“Forget the Convention. You haven’t any rights.” Within a few days, some of the
men who had gone healthy into the camps were dead. I saw our men dragging many
dead bodies to the gate of the camp, where they were thrown loose on top of
each other onto trucks, which took them away. [Pechel, Peter, Dennis

The Purge
Leni Riefenstahl: Neither my husband nor my mother nor any of my three
assistants had ever joined the Nazi Party, nor had any of us been politically
active. No `charges had ever been filed against us, yet we were at the mercy of
the [Allies] and had no legal protection of any kind. [Horstmann, Lali.We
Chose to Stay. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1954. Page 327]
A German Prisoner: The purpose of these interrogations is not to worm
out of the people what they knew—which would be uninteresting anyway—but to
extort from them special statements. The methods resorted to are extremely
primitive; people are beaten up until they confess to having been members of
the Nazi Party. . . . The authorities simply assume that, basically, everybody
has belonged to the Party. Many people die during and after these
interrogations, while others, who admit at once their party membership, are
treated more leniently. [Von Lehndorff, Hans Graf. Token of a
Covenant—Diary of an East Prussian Surgeon, 1945–47. Chicago: Henry Regnery
Co., 1964. Page 127]
Both officers who took our testimony were former German Jews. [One] kicked
me in the back and the other hit me. . . . [T]he terrible thing was, the German
men had to watch. That was a horrible, horrible experience. . . . That must
have been terrible for them. When I went outside, several of them stood there
with tears running down their cheeks. What could they have done? They could do
nothing. [Owings, Alison. Frauen—German
Women recall the Third Reich.New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press,
1994. Pages 335-336]
George Patton: Evidently the virus started by Morgenthau of a Semitic
revenge against all Germans is still working . . . I can’t see how Americans
can sink so low. [Martin Blumenson, The Patton Papers—1940–1945 (New York:
Houghton Mifflin Co., 1972)]
A British Witness: [S]ome of them, one-eyed or one-legged veterans of
seven or so, many so deranged by the bombing and the Russian attack that they
screamed at the sight of any uniform, even a Salvation Army one. [Garrett,
Stephen A. Ethics and Airpower in World War II—The British Bombing of German
Cities. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1993. Page 141]
American Historian Ralph Franklin Keeling: While the Germans around them
starve, wear rags, and live in hovels, the American aristocrats live in often
unaccustomed ease and luxury. . . . [T]hey live in the finest homes from which
they drove the Germans; they swagger about in fine liveries and gorge
themselves on diets three times as great as they allow the Germans. . . .When
we tell the Germans their low rations are necessary because food is so short,
they naturally either think we are lying to them or regard us as inhuman for
taking the lion’s share of the short supplies while they and their children
starve. [Keeling, Ralph Franklin.Gruesome Harvest—The Allies’ Postwar War
Against the German
People. 1947. Reprint. Torrance, Calif.: Institute for Historical Review, 1992. Page 101]
People. 1947. Reprint. Torrance, Calif.: Institute for Historical Review, 1992. Page 101]
Ethnic Cleansing
Winston Churchill: Don’t mind the five or more million Germans. Stalin
will see to them. You will not have trouble with them: they will cease to
exist. [Keeling, Ralph Franklin.Gruesome Harvest—The Allies’ Postwar War
Against the German People. 1947. Reprint. Torrance, Calif.: Institute for
Historical Review, 1992. Page 13]
A Viewer from Gruenberg: As they left town in an endless procession,
Polish soldiers fell upon them, beating and flogging them in a blind rage. . .
. Robbed of all they possessed and literally stripped of the last of their
belongings, . . . these poor creatures trudged along in the wind and the rain,
with no roof or shelter over their heads, not knowing where they would find a
new abode. [Kaps, Johannes, ed. The Tragedy of Silesia, 1945–46—A
Documentary Account with a Special Survey of the Archdiocese of Breslau.
Munich: Christ Unterwegs, 1952/53. Page 428]
Austin J. App: To slice three or four ancient provinces from a country,
then loot and plunder nine million people of their houses, farms, cattle,
furniture, and even clothes, and then . . . expel them “from the land they have
inhabited for 700 years” with no distinction “between the innocent and the
guilty” . . . to drive them like unwanted beasts on foot to far-off provinces,
unprotected, shelterless, and starving is an atrocity so vast that history
records none vaster. [App,Austin J.“Mass Expulsions: ‘Tragedy on a
Prodigious Scale.” The Barnes Review 2, no. 10 (Oct. 1996). Page 24]
