Just more nazi stuff....for what it's worth...

As U.S. Marks 80th Anniversaries, Family’s Story
of Good and Evil is RetoldSon of German-Jewish Family Uncovers Diaries
from pre-War Nazi Germany

Eighty years ago, those who were part of America’s “Greatest Generation” were beginning to define events that would prove to be some of the country’s finest moments. In stark contrast, Germany was entering its darkest period. 
The two countries powered ahead on a collision course that would lead to vastly different fortunes for its people, notes Torkel S Wächter, the son of German-Jewish parents who uncovered fascinating family documents written during the ascendancy of Nazism in Europe.
On his website, www.onthisday80yearsago.com, he replays history in diary fashion with posts appearing on the anniversary of events 80 years ago in Germany. It’s an artistic/literary project called “simulated real time,” a way of commemorating history so that it’s not forgotten, he says. 
“These anniversaries make for an excellent study in contrast in history for the two countries,” Wächter says; he cites the following examples:

• United States: Eighty years ago, the country was beginning a relationship with one of the most beloved presidents in U.S. history, Franklin D. Roosevelt. On May 7, the 32nd commander-in-chief outlined his economic plan, the New Deal, in one of his famous fireside chats.
• Germany: In stark contrast, just three days later in Germany, literature deemed “un-German” was destroyed in the infamous Nazi book burning. Earlier in 1933, Adolf Hitler had attained power, and on April 1, Jewish businesses were boycotted.
• Post-war legacy: While WWII was the beginning of the end for the Nazi party, the war marked the end of America’s Great Depression. For the past 80 years, the United States has remained the preeminent world superpower. In contrast, the reconstruction of Germany after the war was a long process; 7.5 million – 11 percent – of Germans had been killed; the country’s cities were largely destroyed; and agricultural production had declined by two-thirds. A psychological shame has hovered over Germans since the discovery of genocidal death camps.

“I used to hate Germany; while growing up, my father never discussed his German upbringing, even though he was obsessed with the country,” says Wächter, who was raised in Sweden. “We were never allowed to talk about it because the pain from the past was still alive in him.”
After his father died, Wächter finally opened the boxes he’d left behind. They were filled with diaries, letters, articles and other documents. From these, he wrote “The Investigation,” which highlights questions about personal responsibility and evil during pre-war Nazi Germany.
These are lessons, he says, from which we can all learn today.
“It’s much more difficult to hate something that you come to understand,” he says. “I no longer hate Germany. I’ve realized that my father actually loved the country – he had a great upbringing there, and Jews in Germany had been a success story. But because of what occurred under Hitler, he felt such betrayal and pain, he could never bring himself to talk about it.”

QUATSCH...oder?

Was hat all  mein gequassel mit Pirmasens zu tun? Nicht  viel.

It's just that I'm sick and tired of this annual squeeze effort to extract billions from the Germans and at the same time give another generation this ridiculous guilt complex once instilled in me when I grew up.

Proposal for a German annual holiday to commemorate the allies mass murder after and at the end of WW2

Die Revisionisten sind im allgemeinen der Ansicht, daß die alliierten Regierungen, insbesondere die Sowjets, beschlossen, ihre aus der Kriegszeit stammende „Schwarze Propaganda" über deutsche Greuel in der Nachkriegszeit weiterzuführen. Und zwar aus drei Gründen:

1. Die Alliierten sahen sich gezwungen, weiterhin die großen Opfer der Kämpfe von zwei Weltkriegen zu rechtfertigen.
2. Die Alliierten wollten die Aufmerksamkeit von ihren eigenen, überaus brutalen Verbrechen gegen die Menschheit ablenken und sie rechtfertigen. Allein schon die sowjetischen Greuel hatten den Tod von unermeßlich vielen Millionen Zivilisten in der Sowjetunion und in allen Ländern Ost- und Mitteleuropas gefordert.
   Das amerikanische und britische Flächenbombardement deutscher und japanischer Städte hatte den Tod von über einer Million Zivilisten verschuldet, die bei lebendigem Leibe verbrannten oder verschüttet wurden.
3. Die Alliierten brauchten eine Rechtfertigung für ihr Nachkriegsvorgehen, nämlich die völlige Demontage der deutschen Industrie, eine Politik der Aushungerung, die den Tod von vielen Millionen deutscher Zivilisten zur Folge hatte, den Diebstahl deutscher Patente im Wert von Billionen Dollar, und den Raub großer Teile Deutschlands, die von Polen und der UdSSR annektiert wurden. Diese Gebiete waren nicht umstrittenes Grenzland, sondern machten 20 % des gesamten deutschen Territoriums aus. Die zwölf Millionen Deutsche, die in diesen Gebieten lebten, wurden ihres Eigentums beraubt und brutal vertrieben. Das war die grauenvollste ethnische Säuberung der Weltgeschichte. Über zwei Millionen Deutsche kamen dabei ums Leben.

And now ....translation into English....sort of....this is my attempt, I am not a linguist or translator.

 I am not familiar with the expression or term Schwarze Propaganda, it may well be an underground term not commonly used or something more recent rather than a terminology used when Russia was in the form of the then Soviet Union and  part of the allied defence propaganda machine...so be it. The term may be a leftover descriptor a  wartime activity.

This is about  the annual ritual of the  holocaust remembrance and a view of ethnic cleansing by the so called liberators ( a term the German chancellor likes to use to describe the former WWII allies.. when she visits the USA..).There clearly should be a holiday or remembrance day for all those German and ethnic German men, women and children who were needlessly murdered by the allied war machine, consisting of The USA, Soviet Union and Britain along with the UK and their aids..(.Canada , Australia  and others belonging to this colonial club).leftovers of the empire.

The revisionists are of the opinion in general that the allied governments, especially the Soviets, decided to continue their "black propaganda" descendant from the wartime over German horrors in the postwar era. Mostly for three reasons:
 
1:The allied forces found themselves forced to still justify the their victims of the fights of two world wars. It should be remembered here that in the first world war the USA entered almost at the end of the war and their losses were actually smaller than those of Australia.

2:The allied forces wanted to deflect the attention of their own, extremely brutal crimes against mankind and wanted to justify it. The Soviets suffered substantial losses during the second world war and found it appropriate to cause the death of  million civilians in Germany as well as  countries of east and Central Europe. 
The American and British surface bombardment of German and Japanese cities had been to blame for the death of over one million civilians, that burned and or buried alive..Hamburg, Dresden..

3:The  allied forces needed a justification for their after war  politics of the starvation, that led to the death of  millions of  German civilians, the theft of German patents for their postwar action, namely the total dismantling of the German industry, in the value of trillions dollars, and the robbery of large parts of Germany, that were annexed from Poland and the USSR. These areas were not controversial border area but amounted to 20 percent of the entire German territory. The twelve million Germans, who lived in these areas, were robbed of their property and  expelled brutally.What happened between 1945 and 1948 amounts to  the most harrowing ethnic cleaning in the worlds history. Over two million Germans died on that occasion alone.
