Fighting continues with tanks, bombs, and guns, resulting in casualties.

На востоке гром, план Вильгельма обречён. Немцы выпустили газ, но увидели мертвые поля. Атака мин ввела в панику врагов. Русские войска шли с штыками на врагов. Translation: In the east, thunder, Wilhelm's plan is doomed. The Germans released gas but saw dead fields. The attack of mines panicked the enemies. Russian troops marched with bayonets against the enemy.

According to historical documentation cited here, the purpose of the attack was to inflict the maximum loss of life on the civilian population, and particularly to kill as many refugees fleeing the Red Army. It was planned and executed by those at the highest levels of the British and American governments, who instructed the Allied Bomber Command to lie to pilots and their crews. At 10 PM on February 13, the first attack wave, consisting of the British number five bomber group, began. This air force, which consisted of 2,000 bombers with additional support craft, dropped over 3,000 high explosive and 700,000 incendiary bombs directly on the city center. Incendiary bombs, described as highly effective for producing maximum loss of human life, were used, with the loads carried by these bombers being 80% incendiary. The primary goal, according to British air commander Sir Arthur Harris, was to set the city well on fire. The fires caused all bodies of water within the city limits, including the Elbe River, to be set ablaze, as white phosphorus was a primary component of the incendiaries. With a chemical temperature of some 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, this combustible agent was thrown into every nook of the city. Those unable to bear the torment tossed themselves into the burning waterways, dying in thousands by drowning or burning on the water’s surface. Despite the visibility of marked drop areas containing hospitals, sports stadia, and residential zones, bomber crews obeyed orders and rained down a fiery death upon the inhabitants. Tens of thousands were devoured in this early stage as the incendiaries began hundreds of fires, aided by a stiff wind coalescing into one massive firestorm. Precisely on schedule, three hours after the first attack wave, a second massive armada of British bombers arrived, again loaded almost exclusively with high-volume incendiary bombs. The residents of Dresden, their power systems destroyed in the first raid, had no warning of the second. The timing of the second armada was designed to ensure that a large quantity of surviving civilians would emerge from shelters to escape the city, and to catch firefighters and medical personnel from neighboring towns unawares, both of which occurred, resulting in hundreds of first responders dying needlessly. By 2 AM, Dresden’s burning hulk was visible from over 200 miles away, and the flames would continue to burn for a week. Parts of bodies, fragments of charred clothing, metal scrap, and ash scattered in the surrounding countryside; in some basements, rescue workers found liquefied remains and had to shovel yards of rendered human fat congealed into pools before reconstruction could begin. But the operation was not over, for the following afternoon, on Ash Wednesday, four fifty flying fortresses with P-fifty one fighter support arrived to finish the job. Before this, Dresden had been a fairytale city of spires and cobbled streets. The US raid on February 14 was described as having brought the German people to their knees, and it is claimed that the Mustang fighters, suddenly appearing, fired on everything that moved, including riverbanks and walking civilians. It is stated that, despite efforts by Western authorities to downplay the loss of life, sufficient primary evidence and firsthand accounts entered the historical record before these were scrubbed. The death toll is asserted to be over 150,000, with some estimates as high as 300,000, and it is claimed that, in relative terms, more destruction befell Dresden in a single day than was inflicted on the whole of Great Britain during the entire war.

The Fleet Air Arm, alongside the Royal Air Force, contributed to the attack with numerous precise sorties, each executed meticulously.

We will fight on the seas, in the air, on the beaches, and in the streets. We will defend our island at any cost. We will never surrender.

The speaker argues that the Roosevelt administration is the third powerful group pushing the country toward war, having used the war emergency to win a third presidential term, add unlimited debt, and justify restricting congressional power and adopting dictatorial procedures. The administration’s power and prestige, the speaker claims, depend on wartime conditions and on Britain, to whom the president attached his political future, at a time when many believed England and France could easily win. The danger, according to the speaker, lies in the administration’s subterfuge: while promising peace, it leads the nation into war without honoring its electoral platform. In identifying the major agitators for war, the speaker names three essential groups: the British, the Jewish, and the administration; other groups are described as of secondary importance. The speaker contends that, once any one of these groups ceases agitating for war, the nation would face little danger of involvement. The speaker asserts that, when hostilities began in Europe in 1939, Americans showed no intention of entering the war and could not be easily asked for a declaration of war; nevertheless, the groups planned to entrap the United States into war by disguising foreign war as American defense, gradually drawing the country in, and creating incidents to force actual conflict, aided by propaganda. The propaganda, the speaker claims, included theaters glorifying war, biased newsreels, newspapers and magazines engaging in antiwar advertising, and smear campaigns against intervention opponents. Those who opposed intervention were labeled fifth columnists, traitors, Nazis, or anti-Semites; people lost jobs for antiwar views; lecture halls opened to war advocates but closed to opponents, and a climate of fear was created. The nation was told that aviation would make the UK fleet invulnerable to invasion, and that extensive arms spending was needed for national defense, with the money flowing to aid Europe rather than strengthening the U.S. military. The speaker provides a specific example: in 1939, the U.S. was told to increase the Air Corps to 5,000 planes, then later that the United States should have at least 50,000 planes; yet, while fighting planes were produced, they were sent abroad, and the U.S. air corps remained under-equipped, with far fewer modern bombers and fighters than Germany could produce in a month. According to the speaker, from its inception the arms program aimed to prosecute war in Europe more than to defend America, and the only thing preventing war was the rising opposition of the American people. The speaker contends that democracy and representative government are being tested as the nation stands on the verge of a war that would be unwinnable without a costly invasion, and asserts that it is not too late to stay out and to demonstrate that money, propaganda, or patronage cannot force a free and independent people into war against its will.

It was evil. Thousands of firebombs, explosions, people burning in Dresden. After half an hour, the whole place was a furnace. Nothing prepared me for seeing women and children flying through the air. We were supposed to be the good guys, but ended up in horror.

The transcript presents a sequence of testimonies and extracts arguing that Adolf Hitler possessed exceptional intellect, memory, and strategic genius, contrary to prevailing liberal and popular stereotypes. - IQ and intellect at Nuremberg: It is stated that the Allies found the IQs of National Socialist leaders on trial to be much higher than expected, with some sources suggesting Hitler’s IQ around 140+ or higher. Jaalmar Schacht is cited as saying Hitler’s IQ was 150 or more; Schacht’s own IQ was tested at 143, and ministers reportedly averaged 129, with many acknowledging Hitler’s superiority. The text asserts Hitler read voraciously, with a private library of over 3,000 books, and could lead discussions on any topic, possessing strong verbal ability, memory, and autodidactic learning. - Personal recollections on Hitler’s learning and memory: Excerpts from He Was My Chief (Christa Schroeder), Was Hitler Really a Dictator? (Friedrich Christian), Hitler Democrat (Leon deGrell), and The Hitler I Knew (Otto Dietrich) emphasize Hitler’s extraordinary memory and lifelong study. Schroeder describes Hitler reading 500 Vienna reference library volumes in youth, recalling minute details of places, architecture, and conversations, as well as recalling names, books, statistics, faces, and the atmosphere of rallies. Dietrich notes Hitler’s ability to memorize a book in a single sitting and to notice engine discrepancies on a plane, while deGrell highlights Hitler’s wide range of knowledge—from Buddha to Shakespeare to Tacitus, from theology to physics and biology—and his habit of reading at least one book daily and quoting long passages from memory. Dietrich also stresses Hitler’s equal facility in architecture, philosophy, and science, and his almost universal command of knowledge across disciplines. - Hitler’s cognitive and technical leadership in strategy: The narrative contends Hitler could devise audacious military strategies that surprised even his top commanders. It recounts that Hitler rejected a conventional Schlieffen-inspired plan and instead developed a bold, integrated approach to the 1940 West campaign. In Winiza and at his headquarters, Hitler supposedly explained and reviewed his strategic process, using a binded map collection of the France campaign to illustrate decisions, including the choice to strike at Sedan and to coordinate a rapid armored thrust with air superiority. He allegedly insisted on secrecy, careful data gathering, and a seamless integration of tactical details under a single strategic idea. - The Western campaign and Dunkirk: The text describes the May 1940 offensive (the Zickelschnitt or sickle cut) as a decisiive success, with the Wehrmacht breaking through using a combination of armored thrusts and flanking maneuvers, advancing from Sedan toward the coast, and ensuring the encirclement and isolation of Allied forces. Hitler is portrayed as acknowledging—yet regretting in hindsight—the Dunkirk decision, explaining he did not destroy the entire British force because of the danger to further operations and time, arguing the need to avoid excessive losses and preserve strength for subsequent operations. The account attributes a rational, strategic calculus to Hitler, including concerns about Eastern possibilities and peace prospects. - Post-Dunkirk reflections and leadership style: The transcript portrays Hitler as calm under pressure, capable of long, rational discussions with staff after shocking events like Arnhem, and capable of endurance through fatigue. It also emphasizes his interpersonal trust with his inner circle, including his architect Heinrich Himmler and Speer, and notes various personal anecdotes illustrating his restraint, discipline, and occasional moments of levity. Keitel, Jodl, and Manstein are referenced as colleagues whose assessments evolved to align with Hitler’s strategic vision, while some allied commanders are depicted as underestimating his genius. - Conclusion on Hitler’s genius: The compilation argues that Hitler was “one of the most cultivated men of the twentieth century,” with “military genius” and “an invention of modern strategy,” whose leadership integrated a mass of tanks and air power in ways other militaries failed to conceive. While it acknowledges criticism of certain decisions (e.g., Dunkirk), it credits Hitler with transcending conventional military thought, guiding not only German policy but also shaping European strategic doctrine through a fusion of meticulous planning, memory, and intellectual breadth.

Our policy is to wage war by sea and air with all our might, aiming for victory at all costs. Germany suffered nearly 5 million military deaths and half a million civilian deaths in allied bombing raids during World War II.

We positioned ourselves and aimed at the ZSU. There were some difficulties, but we managed to get it done. It was frustrating and we expressed our frustration with some strong language. We were disappointed with the outcome and didn't care much about it.

Hitler, in his bunker in Berlin, had learned of Mussolini's death, with Eva Braun by his side. They were surrounded by his high command, a situation that had persisted since 01/16/1945. Churchill's bombings of German civilians and the rape of Germany continued non stop, and by 1945 the Germans faced a hopeless situation. The Red Army had reached the River Oder, which stood as the last great natural obstacle before Berlin. Germany would now be surrounded from every frontier. The Soviets reportedly had twice as many men as the Wehrmacht and four times as many tanks. Stalin claimed that he had 6,000,000 men against the remaining 1,000,000 Germans of every unit the Reich could gather. Hitler understood that he was surrounded. Facing certain defeat, foreign volunteers, old men, women, and children prepared for the last fight against hopeless odds. Boys of the Hitler Youth also prepared themselves for the last battle. The only thing that stood between heaven and hell was the remaining German troops. On April 19, Soviet troops reached the Berlin suburbs. Every remaining desperate defender of Germany would be eliminated in house-by-house street fighting. The Red Terror couldn't be haunted anyone. The combat embraced everyone in its battle zone. Hitler's dreams of a free world had been shattered to a million pieces.

Units were arriving and being sent to work. For some, these would be their final moments. Then it happened.

Tanks are thanked for their attack. There was fighting. Inside a house, 15 people were burned, including eight babies, because they were blocked in. The speaker says they need to conquer back the whole settlement, and this couldn't happen without the tanks. Tanks are thanked for their attack. There was fighting.

Churchill wanted the US to join WWII, so he ordered the British Air Force to bomb Berlin in 1940. Hitler, who had embargoed bombing British towns, retaliated by bombing London. This led to a series of bombings between the two cities until Hitler threatened to wipe out British towns if Berlin was bombed again. Despite this, Churchill ordered another bombing on Berlin, resulting in German bombings on London docks. The cycle of bombings escalated tensions between the two countries. Translation: Churchill ordered the bombing of Berlin to provoke Hitler during WWII, leading to retaliatory bombings on London.

I wish we had cloud-seeding missiles to clear the skies earlier. Interestingly, they used them just the day before, and it worked. The storm dissipated, but things quickly spiraled out of control, resulting in chaos with pans and barrels everywhere.

Speaker 0 describes a stance to attack only on the front lines, not against women or children, noting that “that was a data loss,” and that they “did it to all fronts” and “we did not fly a night attack.” He argues that since bombs would be dropped anyway, before the German people he cannot permit his own Volksgenossen to perish while sparing foreigners, so the war must be fought and the sacrifices available must be used. Speaker 1, after acknowledging that he cannot deny this any longer, refers to himself as “the greatest strategist born so far” and declares that the Luftkrieg (air war) is his doing. He calls it a brilliant idea by Mister Georgill against the civilian population, noting England apparently rejected this in anticipation of future developments. He asserts that in this war he did not conduct night attacks on civilian populations in Poland, arguing that at night the objective cannot be hit as accurately, so he primarily targeted roofs and aimed at military targets. He says he did the same in Norway, Holland, and France. He contrasts this with a belief that the British Air Force would be unable to escape German scrutiny if night raids targeted civilians, implying that the German campaign aimed at military targets. As the war in the West ended, he extended his efforts toward “Henglad,” and faced pressure from many to act sooner: “how long, Führer, do you wait? They do not stop.” He waited over three months and then gave the order to commence the fight with the same resolve with which he had started every battle, continuing “up to now.” Speaker 2 portrays the enemy as incredibly cruel and determined to destroy Germany, stating that the enemy has proclaimed this thousands of times, and asserting that there is no reason to doubt it. He intensifies the claim by equating the enemies’ motives with biblical purge concepts, describing a wish for Germany’s extermination with “Mann und Maus und Jung und Alt.” He emphasizes that what would be done to German women and children cannot be imagined, urging that it will be a total war that affects every German, their lives, existence, family, wife, and child—the war threatens life itself. He concludes that wherever now flourishing cities and villages exist, a future of desolation would result, turning into a desert; the war, he says, is total and affects everyone.

Said to Kennedy, you watch when Adolf Hitler begins bombing London and towns in Britain like Boston and Lincoln, towns with their counterparts in The United States. You Americans will have to come in, won't you? You can't just stand aside and watch us suffering. But he knew from code breaking. He knew from reading the German Air Force signals, which we had broken on March or 05/26/1940, that Hitler had given orders that no British town was to be bombed. London was completely embargoed. German air force was allowed to bomb ports and harbors and dockyards, but not towns as such. And Churchill was greatly aggrieved by this, and he wondered how much longer Hitler could avoid carrying on war like this. But Hitler, as we know, carried on until September 1940 without bombing any English towns. The embargo stayed in force. You can see it in the German archives now, and we know from the code breaking of the German signals that Churchill was reading Hitler's orders to the German Air Force, not on any account to bomb these towns. So there was no way that we could drag in the Americans that way unless we could provoke Hitler to do it, which is why on 08/25/1940, Churchill gave the order to the British Air Force to go and bomb Berlin. Although the chief of the bomber command and chief of staff of the British Air Force warned him that if we bomb Berlin, Hitler may very well lift the embargo on British towns. And Churchill just twinkled because it was what he wanted, of course. At 09:15 that morning, he telephoned personal bomber command himself to order the bombing of Berlin, a 100 bombers to go and bomb Berlin. They went out to bomb Berlin that night, and Hitler still didn't move. Hitler ordered another aid on Berlin, and so it went on for the next seven or ten days until finally on September 4, Hitler lost his patience and made that famous speech in the Sport Palace in Berlin in which he said, this madman has bombed Berlin now seven times. He bombs Berlin once more than I shall not only just attack their towns, I shall wipe them out. A very famous speech. Of course, German school children are now told about the Hitler speech. They're not told about what went first. They're not told how Churchill sent out deliberately to provoke the bombing of his own capital. And on the following day, Churchill ordered Berlin bombed again. And the result was the German air force started bombing the docks in London, the East End Of London, finally, city Of London and the West End on the September 1940. In September 1940, 7,000 Londoners were killed in the bombing as a result of Churchill's deliberate provocation. The files are there. The archives are there. No wonder Harold Macmillan didn't want my book published.

Units were arriving and being sent to work. For some, these would be their final moments. And then it happened.

Berlin 1941. Deep beneath the Reich chancellery, a German officer taps out a coded message on a machine that looks more like a typewriter than a weapon. He finishes, smiles, and says, they'll never break this one. That machine was called Enigma, the pride of German engineering and the beating heart of Nazi communication. Every order, every convoy, every secret encrypted through it. The code changed every single day with 150 quintillion possible combinations. To the Germans, Enigma was unbreakable. But across the channel, a small team was about to prove them wrong. A quiet English mansion buzzing with noise and tension, rows of young mathematicians. Linguists and chess players sit at long tables, covered in cables, punched cards, and coffee cups. Among them, Alan Turing, a quiet, awkward genius from Cambridge. Turing had one goal. Crack enigma. Every night, new intercepts arrive from the front coded messages filled with gibberish. And every morning, the Germans changed the settings, wiping out a day's progress. Turing realized that no human could beat Enigma, so he built something that could. In a backroom at Bletchley, Turing's team constructed a massive machine of worried drums and clicking switches. They called it the bomb. It wasn't a computer yet, but it was the beginning of one. The bomb tested thousands of combinations per minute, searching for one clue, a word, a phrase, anything predictable. One operator smiled when she saw it. You mean we're going to fight the war with mathematics? Turing replied softly, yes. And we're going to win. In 1941, they got their first success. A careless German radio operator had sent the same message twice with the same code settings. That tiny mistake gave Turing's machine the foothold it needed. Suddenly, the noise of random letters turned into words. U boat positions. Atlantic coordinates. The allies could now see the invisible war at sea. Convoys at once vanished under the waves began arriving safely. U boats started dying faster than Germany could replace them. The enigma, the symbol of Nazi confidence, had just been turned against them, but the Germans never suspected. For the rest of the war, they kept sending orders, confident that their secrets were safe. They had no idea that the British were reading them all. Historians estimate that the breaking of Enigma shortened the war by two years and saved over 14,000,000 lives. When Allied documents were declassified decades later, surviving German officials were stunned. They learned that every secret message they had sent, every convoy, every code, every command had been quietly intercepted and deciphered by a group of civilians in a countryside mansion. The Nazis believed their machine could never be broken, but it wasn't brute force that defeated Enigma. It was brilliant. And at the center of it all stood a quiet man named Alan Turing, who changed not just the war, but the entire future of human intelligence.

Our tank attacked a settlement where 15 people, including 8 babies, were trapped in burning houses. The tank was crucial in reclaiming the area.

The bomb in the building started clearing up.

Churchill knew Hitler had ordered no British towns to be bombed, so he ordered the bombing of Berlin to provoke Hitler. After several bombings of Berlin, Hitler retaliated by bombing London, resulting in 7000 deaths in September 1940. The archives confirm Churchill's deliberate provocation.

Speaker 0 says it’s a little unfair that you win a war, yet the other side has no right to be doing what they’re doing. He adds that they’re hitting them very hard, and today is a big day where they’re pounding a certain area that has very much to do with the straight. He believes they’ll get it going very.

Churchill seized an opportunity to justify bombing Berlin after a German attack near London. The British retaliated by targeting German cities, leading to the start of the Blitz. Despite Hitler's initial reluctance to attack England, the bombing continued. Churchill's propaganda portrayed the British as stoic, but in reality, they were given ineffective weapons for defense. The British people endured the hardships of war, believing they were under attack by an evil enemy.

The weather cleared, and the air force bombed, strafed, and fought the Luftwaffe.
