		<description>Colonel Glantz, thank you very much for the series of books covering the Soviet-German War.  Comprehensive and thoroughly referenced literatures are not easy to come by.  I still have two hard-bound titles in my bookshelf:  When Titans Clashed and Stumbling Colossus.

This repetitively suicidal attacks made by the Soviets remind me of a Romanian classmate of mine whose granddad had served on the Stalingrad Front.  I was told that the Russians were making numerous suicidal assaults where his granddad&#039;s unit defended.  It did not make much sense and I brushed it aside as a typical &#039;Axis perception&#039; of that battle.  But now that it is a fact that such a ruthless conduct of Stalingrad operation was integral to Soviet planning ... wow!

Perhaps single thing that still astonishes me is how the Germans became sucked up into a war of attrition.  They already got rough handled in 1941 and, by mid 1942, they should have known better.  Yet, they allow themselves to become even more attrited.  It is as though this war has ballooned into a war for the sake of to see who is literally the last one standing!</description>

		<description>Hitler hit Poland first; Why? Because he wanted a land-connect with the USSR; Why?Andrew Nagorski has the exact answer.  August 11 1939; Hitler speaks privately with Commissioner Burckhardt (League of Nations)
&quot; Everything I undertake is directed against the Russians.  If the West is too stupid and blind to grasp this, then I shall be compelled to come to an agreement with the Russians, beat the West and then after their defeat turn against the Soviet Union with all my forces. I need the Ukraine so they can&#039;t starve us out, as happened in the last war&quot;
World War Two explained by a madman days before he signed up with Stalin.  Why did this stupid Commissioner not reveal this?</description>

		<description>James you ate a world class clown to even dare to compare Churchill to the scum that was Hitler. 

Remember we didn&#039;t start the war Hitler did , Hitler waged war throughput Europe while the UK was the only power to stand tall and win the first battle . You might remember it &quot;The Battle Of Britain&quot; while the US stood on the sidelines and the Russians cut deals with Hitler. 

So remember it was a 39-45 war for the Uk , Canada and India. 

Oh yeah Battle Of Britain , El Alemein , Radar , Bletchley Park , Enigma etc etc etc</description>

		<description>In my view, the biggest problem the Germans had in WWII was that they were completely lost in the realm of grand strategy. Tactically and operationally they were superior to their enemies, especially the Russians, but their top-level decisions were almost unbelievably bad. The Russians, on the other hand, were tactically inferior, but operationally and strategically competent. There&#039;s a lot more that could be said, but I think that fairly well sums it up; given Soviet industrial superiority along with their greater troop numbers, German strategic incompetence guaranteed the outcome.</description>

		<description>At the Nuremberg trials, captured German leaders were convicted of ‘crimes against humanity’ and ‘war crimes’ as defined in the London Charter signed on August 8 1945 by the Allied powers. The judicial procedures that were followed remain interesting. The Trials were judicial in appearance only. The judges were not neutral. The victors in the war commissioned their own judges, who were under pressure to provide justification for Allied policies. The Allies themselves were guilty of major war crimes, the most outstanding of which were 

* the fire-bombing of the civilian residential areas of Dresden (no military significance) under Winston Churchill’s orders (David Irving The Destruction of Dresden (1966) pp. 96-100), Alexander McKee Dresden 1945 (1982) p 300, 306, 310); and 
* the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9 1945, in spite of the fact that Japan had signalled her willingness to capitulate some weeks previously (Robert Junck Brighter than a Thousand Suns (1958) pp. 189-191, Martin J Sherwin A World Destroyed (1975) pp. 235-237).

To summarize the sequence of the important dates concerning the atomic bombing:

* Mid-July 1945: Japanese government communicates to US government their willingness to negotiate capitulation; 
* August 6 1945: US drops atom bomb on Hiroshima; 
* August 8 1945: US signs the &#039;London Charter&#039;, or Charter of the International Military Tribunal defining war crimes, including Principle 6 (b) ‘wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity.’ 
* August 9 1945: US drops atom bomb on Nagasaki.

With reference to the atomic bomb, Admiral William Leahy - Chief of Staff to both Roosevelt and Truman - commented, &#039;My own feeling was that, in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Age. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children.&#039; (Liddell Hart, History of the Second World War (1970) p725-6, JFC Fuller, The Decisive Battles of the Western World, 1792-1945 (1970) p584). 

Awkwardly enough, for the sake of judicial impartiality, Churchill and Truman should themselves have been hung at Nuremberg for these undoubted crimes.</description>

		<description>Churchill and Hitler and history and stuff.. 

Winston Churchill was knighted after World War 2 and buried from Westminster Abbey, perhaps the highest tribute that could be paid to him, while Adolf Hitler has been accorded the status of perhaps the most evil politician in human history.

WINSTON CHURCHILL in July 1940

&quot;When I look around to see how we can win the war I see that there is only one sure path. We have no Continental army which can defeat the German military power.. Should [Hitler].. not try invasion [of Britain].. there is one thing that will bring him back and bring him down, and that is an absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers from this country upon the Nazi homeland. We must be able to overwhelm them by this means, without which I do not see a way through. We cannot accept any aim lower than air mastery. When can it be obtained?&quot; [Extract from Winston S Churchill The Second World War (Volume 2 Their Finest Hour Appendix A), Memo from Prime Minister to Minister of Aircraft Production, 8.July 1940].

ADOLF HITLER in May 1940

Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other way around. Hitler actually wanted peace with Britain, as the German generals admitted (Basil Liddell Hart, The Other Side of the Hill 1948, Pan Books 1983) with regard to the so-called Halt Order of 24 May 1940 at Dunkirk, where Hitler had the opportunity to capture the entire British Army, but chose not to. Liddell Hart, one of Britain’s most respected military historians, quotes the German General von Blumentritt with regard to this Halt Order: 

&quot;He (Hitler) then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire, of the necessity for its existence, and of the civilization that Britain had brought into the world. He remarked, with a shrug of the shoulders, that the creation of its Empire had been achieved by means that were often harsh, but ‘where there is planing, there are shavings flying’. He compared the British Empire with the Catholic Church – saying they were both essential elements of stability in the world. He said that all he wanted from Britain was that she should acknowledge Germany’s position on the Continent. The return of Germany’s colonies would be desirable but not essential, and he would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in difficulties anywhere..&quot; (p 200).

According to Liddell Hart, &quot;At the time we believed that the repulse of the Luftwaffe in the ‘Battle over Britain’ had saved her. That is only part of the explanation, the last part of it. The original cause, which goes much deeper, is that Hitler did not want to conquer England. He took little interest in the invasion preparations, and for weeks did nothing to spur them on; then, after a brief impulse to invade, he veered around again and suspended the preparations. He was preparing, instead, to invade Russia&quot; (p140).

David Irving in the foreword to his book The Warpath (1978) refers to &quot;the discovery.. that at no time did this man (Hitler) pose or intend a real threat to Britain or the Empire.&quot; 

And.. it’s now official – there’s no actual shortage of Holocaust survivors: 

Quote from The Holocaust Industry by Norman G. Finkelstein of the City University of New York, published by Verso in the year 2000: 

&#039;The Israeli Prime Minister&#039;s office recently put the number of &quot;living Holocaust survivors&quot; at nearly a million.&#039; (page 83)</description>
