A World War II Memorial Museum will now be built in Washington, D.C.,
on prime real estate: 7.4 acres encompassing the Rainbow Pool on the Mall
between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.
This museum will include special rooms or "Halls of Honor and Remembrance",
multimedia interactive educational facilities, an auditorium theater and
a visitor information center.
The Viet Nam Veterans Memorial cost about 7 million, and the Korean War
Memorial about 14 million. The Battle Monuments Commission for this World
War II museum has a budget of $90-100 million.
"By law, the commission is required to raise this money privately, but it would surprise no one to hear the memorial's backers asking Congress to chip in, once the project is underway," notes one critic.
What do you suppose this museum is going to display? To let you know
how "just" and "necessary," even virtuous, that war
has been for which young Aryan-Americans gave their lives before they took
the lives of other Aryans?
Precisely.
Here's what I'd like to see in that museum: Full revelation of what happened
AFTER all the shooting stopped.
At Potsdam, following Yalta, the victors sanctioned the expulsion of the
entire German population of Czechoslovakia and Hungary, 4.2 million people.
All the ancient (300 to 800 year old) German ethnocultural enclaves in Central
and Eastern Europe were wiped out. There ought to be mention of that.
But there is more. Time Magazine described this mass expulsion in August
13, 1945 as follows:
"In what was once eastern Germany, an anguished tide of humanity, one of the greatest mass movements of Germans in history, flowed toward the borders of the shrunken Reich. At least 10 million hungry Germans were being uprooted from their old homes in East Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia (and) Sudetenland by the new Polish, Czech and Russian owners.
The wanderers choked the roads in Russian-occupied Germany. Ragged, barefoot, with children in their arms and the shabby remains of homes stacked on perambulators, carts and wheelbarrows, they trudged westward."
Wrote Professor Austin J. App as early as October 1945 in "Our Sunday
Visitor" :
"If some hostile (powers), having the largest armies in the world and the atomic bomb, were to tell all . . . New England people to get out, to get out fast, to leave their homes and cattle behind, to take nothing with them but what they can push or carry, to get out across the borders of their homelands fast and on foot, then the world would see these New Englanders suffer 'tragedy on a prodigious scale.'"
Professor App was quoting Winston Churchill - and a fine one, he to speak!
"There has never before in history, not even in the worst of pagan times, been such a million-fold uprooting of human beings," wrote App, speaking of ". . . this tragic starvation crawl of eight to ten million peoples, whose only crime was that they lived and labored in lands where their forefathers before them lived and labored since the Middle ages . . . Not one of the great statesmen, so bent on punishing Axis crimes, has arisen to condemn or even question this whole ghastly business of ruthlessly uprooting peoples from their age-old homes . . . of the great victors, who once were so idealistic in the Atlantic Charter, none has arisen to condemn such expulsions as wrong in principle.
What American, if it were done to him and his family - if because his country lost, he were thrown out of his state and robbed of his home and belongings and forced to go on foot to another country - would not consider it a vile crime against nature? . . To slice three or four ancient provinces from a country, then loot and plunder nine million people of their homes, 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 fast that history records none vaster. . . It is deliberate, it is brutal, it is enormous - and it is an Allied crime. It is an American, British, Russian, Morgenthau, Potsdam crime."
And so it was. Of a total of 17 million German people, as we now know,
affected by this Allied concocted-and-approved "ethnic cleansing",
about 3 million were killed in the process. This AFTER "Liberation"!
A priest described what came for some before death came. In a smuggled letter
from September 3, 1945, we read:
"In unending succession were girls, women and nuns violated . . . Not merely in secret, in hidden corners, but in the sight of everybody, even in churches, in the streets and in public places were nuns, women and even eight-year-old girls attacked again and again.
Mothers were violated before the eyes of their children; girls in the presence of their brothers; nuns in the slight of pupils - they were outraged again and again to their death and as corpses. . . "
(As quoted in "In den Haenden unserer russischen Alliierten," Der Wanderer, April 1, 1946)
For the first time in history one people, the Germans, lost more of their
number in the "peace" that followed that war than during the worst
years of war itself.
Yet it remains a silent tragedy. You don't see it discussed in the history
books. It is never presented in television documentaries. Chances are the
new museum will not mention it at all.
Almost a whole generation was maimed or broken in body and spirit, - and
the world isn't any the wiser. Three years now separate us from the year
2000 which many feel will be the year to usher in vast changes. Will it
be then, for us, the New World Order? Or will it be the True World Order?
That is a choice none of the living in the coming decades will escape.
Wrote App in 1945:
"Any German who still feels guilty before the Allies is a fool. Any American who thinks he should is a scoundrel."
