January 27, 1998

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

The story below has special meaning for me because it pertains to the Third Reich War on Cancer caused by smoking.

My mother smoked, and it caused her untimely death. Some of my most painful childhood memories have to do with having had to watch how she suffered in the clutches of that vice while she was young and beautiful. She chose to die a monstrous death at age 64, rather than submit to surgery that would have taken her tongue, much of her throat, and half of her face - with only a 20% chance of survival.

That's why I was offended in my soul when I watched spokesmen from the tobacco industry as recently as a few years ago insisting that ". . . there is no link between smoking and cancer."

Yet one more lie. They should have consulted the Fuehrer.

Whenever we talk about rehabilitating the image of the Third Reich, the topic of Hitler's love for health of body and spirit always comes up. Little is known of the Third Reich campaign to rid the body of poison alongside the campaign for ridding the spirit of things that are bad for the soul.

Now, according to the International News section of the Electronic Telegraph, January 11, 1998 (Issue 961) we read the following:

"NAZI scientists discovered a conclusive link between smoking and lung cancer in 1941 . . . years before it was acknowledged by Britain and America, newly discovered documents show. (. . . )

"(I)t has now been revealed that German scientists had established that smoking not only caused lung cancer but that it also caused most lung cancers.

"The research was led by Dr Karl Astell, a powerful SS officer and anti-Semite, at the Institute for Tobacco Hazard Research based at Jena University in what became East Germany, and founded with a personal donation of 100,000 reichsmarks from Adolf Hitler.

"But despite its potential importance, the research was never released internationally and was finally consigned to the basement of the university in the last days of the Second World War."

More documents that haven't been released!

Imagine what we would find if all the research that the wicked "anti-Semites" did were summarized and made available!

The article goes on to say that this research was

". . . unearthed by Robert Proctor, professor of the history of science at Pennsylvania State University, as he was collecting material for his book, "The Nazi War on Cancer", to be published later this year.

"Jena was one of the most aggressive anti-tobacco institutes ever founded," Prof. Proctor said. "It was also one of the best funded in the world at the time because of Hitler's rabid anti-smoking stance."

Why rabid? Because it was Hitler, who must be immediately smeared?

If it were to be found that a Jewish philanthropist , of whom there are many, had donated a goodly sum of money as a personal donation in an effort to declare war on lung cancer, would he be described as having yielded to a "rabid anti-smoking stance"?

Furthermore,

". . . (T)he research was published in 1943 at a time when smoking and lung cancer was the least of most Germans' worries."

Indeed. This was the year when Hitler started losing the war. This was the year when the German Army suffered a devastating defeat at Stalingrad and had been defeated in North Africa. Germany was reeling on just about every front, and was devastated by bombing raids at home. And yet outstanding scientific work was being done, meant to save lives, not destroy lives.

Sir Richard Doll, a British epidemiologist and Oxford University professor, world-famous for his research on tobacco that he started 1948, has this to say about the suppressed information:

"It is reasonable to say that had people been aware, it is quite likely we could have started our research immediately (after) the war finished."

What he did not dare say is that millions of lives could have been saved because of this Third Reich research.

Professor Doll declared the Jena research to be "quite a good piece of work which we should have known about". And he made an astonishing comment: "It (would not) have changed the fact that there were the same forces not wanting to accept the link (between tobacco and lung cancer.)"

The chances of the link between smoking and lung cancer being the result of a fluke in statistics was just one in 10 million. In a British four-part documentary titled "Cancer Wars", Proctor commented on this and .the fact that

" the Nazis built up a formidable dossier on cancer.

"To Hitler, smoking was decadent; not smoking was a step on the road to racial superiority," he said. The Jena archives reveal the strength of Hitler's passion for stamping out smoking, including praise for Dr Astell, who was also president of the university, for banning cigarettes and pipes on campus.

"Dr Astell was renowned for walking through the campus and pulling cigarettes from the mouths of students," Prof Proctor said."

Those wicked Nazi beasts! Hitler Youth had anti-smoking patrols all over Germany,, outside movie houses and in entertainment areas, sports fields etc., and smoking was strictly forbidden to these millions of German youth growing up under Hitler.

Most people "know" they "gassed the Jews."

Most people do not know that Third Reich public health announcement included statements such as ". . . to eat whole grain bread, fruit and vegetables, to drink mineral water and not beer, and to exercise."

"But tobacco remained the focus of the anti-cancer drives. In the state of Thüringen, of which Jena is a part, a ban was placed on smoking on trams and in many public places. Policemen were forbidden from lighting up while on duty and pregnant women were not allowed to smoke at all.

"A telegram from Hitler to State heads reads: "I congratulate those working to free humanity from one of its most dangerous poisons."

This Telegraph article concludes with this poignant reminder:

"In 1945 Dr Astell killed himself, and his fellow scientists left Jena. Then the Americans arrived, with their chewing gum, silk stockings and 93,000 tons of tobacco to be dispersed.'

Thought for the Day:

"No distinction should be allowed to be made between the rich and the poor, between high and low, between city and country, between employer and employee; rather, there is only the distinction between respectable and disrespectable, between companionable and uncompanionable, between aboveboard and furtive, between truth and lies, between courage and cowardice, and between health and sickness."

(Adolf Hitler, as quoted in "Memoirs of a Confidant", p. 214)
