During World War I, Germany faced chaos, poverty, and social issues, but experienced an economic boom and regained hope when the National Socialists came to power. However, envy and fear from other nations led to World War II, the deadliest war in history. Germany suffered terror bombing by the British, and the Soviet Union committed atrocities against German civilians. The Allied forces, including Americans and British, engaged in looting, rape, and killing, while German prisoners of war were mistreated and many died from starvation and neglect. Men in American camps were forced to drink their own urine, and the International Red Cross's efforts were rejected. Eisenhower's program of mistreatment resulted in the deaths of at least 1.5 million German prisoners. Denazification became a cover for rape, torture, and death, and the Morgenthau plan aimed to destroy Germany completely, causing widespread suffering. The expulsion of Germans from Eastern Germany led to around 2 million deaths. The suffering of the German people was largely ignored, while Allied leaders and their actions were shielded from criticism. The true horrors of war cannot be justified or ignored.

Stalin violated multiple non-aggression pacts and invaded several countries, causing widespread terror and death. The Allies, including Churchill, remained silent about Soviet aggression and focused on using Poland to start a war against Germany. Hitler knew Stalin was planning to invade Europe and launched a preemptive strike. The Eastern Front became the site of brutal battles, with many Russians surrendering to the Germans. The German army fought to save Europe from communism and received support from Russian volunteers. The Allies, particularly Churchill, deliberately targeted German cities in devastating bombing campaigns, causing immense civilian casualties. The Battle of the Bulge was a turning point, but the Allies delayed Patton's advance to give the Soviets time to conquer Eastern Europe. The war ended with the destruction of German cities and millions of German casualties.

Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler had met when she was just 17 and she worked as an assistant to the photographer Heinrich Hoffmann, who went on to become Hitler's personal cameraman. Hitler and Braun became lovers in 1932. Now, thirteen years later, as the remaining German forces were overwhelmed, Eva wrote in a letter to her friend, Hertha Schneider, we are fighting here until the last, but I'm afraid the end is threatening closer and closer. On April 29, Hitler decided to marry his longtime mistress Eva Braun. The ceremony was concluded with Goebbels and Bormann as witnesses. Hitler signed the wedding certificate but when it was Eva's turn, she began to write her surname as Braun before crossing out the letter B and instead writing Eva Hitler. Arm in arm, Hitler led his bride to the study for the wedding reception. Hitler now admitted for the first time that all was lost. Hitler said, everything is lost. Pack your things and go. You to have leave and within an hour, the last plane would bring you out. After that moment of silence, Eva Braun stepped forward, went to him and took his hand and said, but you know I will stay with you. Less than two days after the wedding on April 30, Hitler and his bride ended their lives together. They had been married just a few hours. Eva took a cyanide capsule, popped it into her mouth, she died instantly. Hitler picked up his gun, put it to his right temple and fired. Hitler's dog Blondie was also poisoned. Members of the staff carried the bodies in blankets and soaked them with what petrol they could find and set them alight. Hitler did not want to be handed over to the barbaric Bolsheviks because he knew what they had done to Mussolini. Thus, taking his life and setting his body on fire was his own wish. One day before committing suicide, Hitler dictated his political testament, a suicide note, in which he denied any responsibility for starting the war. Right up until the very end, when Hitler had nothing to gain, he wanted the world to know that he had never wanted war.

Socialists met in Wannsee in 1942 to discuss the Jewish problem, but the meeting did not mention killing Jews or extermination methods. There was no finalized plan for the "final solution," as the term was used without a concrete strategy. Meeting minutes even suggested Jews would eventually be released.

Stalin oversaw the expulsion of millions of Germans from their homes in Eastern Europe after World War II, resulting in the deaths of around 2 million women and children. Many more Germans died during similar expulsions in other countries. The atrocities committed during these expulsions, including beatings, looting, and starvation, were immense. Western leaders like Winston Churchill turned a blind eye to the suffering of the German population, leading to more deaths in the aftermath of the war than during the conflict itself.

During World War II, the Soviet Union was a military ally whose anti-Nazi propaganda was accepted and later integrated into historical accounts. One speaker states their belief that 6,000,000 Jews were killed in the war by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. They then ask another speaker, the president of Iran and a scholar, if he believes that 6,000,000 Jews were killed by the Nazis, or if he thinks that is not true. The other speaker says he doesn't think 6,000,000 Jews were gassed, and cautions that this statement is against the law in Germany, and could result in imprisonment.

From the Latvian capital Riga, over 200,000 Germans were trapped behind Russian mines. They were determined to hold on to Lebensraum and refused to countenance a retreat. Even so, gradually, the German forces were pushed back to the Baltic Coast. By mid October nineteen forty four, the Germans had been squeezed onto the Kurland Peninsula, West of Rieden. They would remain marooned there for the rest of the war when they eventually surrendered to Soviet forces. Stalin, meanwhile, was already sizing up other territory in Eastern Europe. He could have moved directly west towards Germany. Instead, units of the Red Army moved south in a vast thrust down through the Balkans.

Stalin violated multiple non-aggression pacts and invaded several countries, terrorizing and killing people. The Allies, including Churchill and Roosevelt, did not take action against Stalin's aggression. Hitler believed that Stalin was planning to invade Europe, and documents support this claim. Hitler launched a preemptive strike against the Soviet Union, saving Europe temporarily. The war on the Eastern Front was brutal, with millions of lives lost. Many Russians surrendered to the Germans, viewing them as liberators from Soviet tyranny. The Allies, particularly Churchill, intentionally targeted German cities with devastating bombings, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians. The war crimes committed by the Allies were largely ignored and remain largely unknown.

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.

During World War 1, the United States was supposedly forced into the war so that the Zionists could obtain Palestine. After the war, the Zionists asked Great Britain to fulfill their promise in a cryptic letter known as the Balfour Declaration. At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, the Jews requested Palestine as their own territory. This made the Germans realize that they were defeated and suffered heavy reparations. The Jews had been prosperous in Germany before this, but the Germans felt betrayed. This betrayal is likened to the hypothetical scenario of the United States being at war with the Soviet Union and then being defeated because of the involvement of another country, like China. Germany was sold out for the sake of Jewish power.

The current state of Great Britain raises questions about its post-war recovery, suggesting it resembles a nation that lost rather than won. The alliance with Stalin during World War II is particularly troubling, especially after urging sacrifices to protect Poland, only to hand it over to him. This raises moral concerns about leadership decisions. While acknowledging the necessity of opposing Hitler, the discussion emphasizes the failure to maintain Western civilization's integrity post-war. Despite defeating the Nazis, the decline of British influence and values is evident. The conversation highlights the need to reassess historical actions and their long-term consequences on Western civilization.

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.

The book introduces the idea that World War II wasn't simply a conflict of good versus evil, pointing to the alliance with Stalin. Before the alliance, Hitler's regime, through events like Kristallnacht and the Röhm purge, resulted in hundreds of deaths and approximately 25,000 people in concentration camps like Dachau, according to American historians. In contrast, Stalin's victims numbered around 10 million dead, including 5 to 9 million Ukrainians, plus the victims of Lenin and Trotsky. Despite Stalin's atrocities, the alliance was formed to defeat Hitler.

The transcript asserts that Stalin’s plan to dominate Eastern Europe was aided by Eisenhower and Marshall due to their focus on invading Europe from England rather than advancing from the European “soft underbelly.” It claims that by July 1944, communists had advanced into Poland and Germany. It attributes the instigation of Soviet Red Army violence against German civilians to Ilya Ehrenberg, described as Stalin’s Jewish chief propagandist and a prominent member of the Soviet-sponsored Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. According to the speaker, Ehrenberg urged mass rape and murder of German civilians as the Red Army approached German territory. The transcript cites Ehrenberg’s involvement with propaganda against Germans, including gloating statements about German women and references to Jews “around Roosevelt,” asserting that Ehrenberg sought extermination and genocide of the entire German people. It notes that Ehrenberg encouraged mass rape and killing, with leaflets declaring Germans “are not human beings” and containing messages such as “Nothing gives us so much joy as German corpses.” It mentions leaflets air dropped on troops near Danzig, allegedly composed by Ehrenberg and signed by Stalin, with the directive: “Kill them all.” The text quotes orders and exhortations to Soviet troops: “Men, old men, children and women, after you have amused yourself with them. Kill,” “Nothing in Germany is guiltless, neither the living nor the yet unborn,” and “Break the racial pride of the German woman. Take her as your legitimate booty.” It further claims that a massive violence followed, described as “an unimaginable orgy of violence and rape” that would become one of the ghastliest episodes in human history. Finally, the transcript asserts a quantitative outcome: “At least 2,000,000 German women young and old were gang raped, sodomized and beaten often in view of their children or family members.”

reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of Uncommon Knowledge, the discussion centers on the Big Three leaders of World War II: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. The conversation explores their national interests and relationships, particularly in response to Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, which prompted the formation of the Grand Alliance. Churchill aimed to preserve the British Empire and ensure Soviet involvement to weaken Germany. Roosevelt sought to create a world safe for democracy, while Stalin's initial goal was survival, later shifting to territorial aggrandizement. The Tehran Conference in 1943 marked the first meeting of the Big Three, where strategic decisions about the war were made, including the contentious issue of a second front in Europe. Roosevelt's approach involved balancing Stalin's demands with the realities of military capabilities. At Yalta in 1945, agreements were made regarding post-war Europe, including the fate of Poland, which ultimately fell under Soviet influence despite Western hopes for democracy. The discussion concludes with reflections on the war's legacy, emphasizing that while the Soviet Union suffered immense losses, the United States emerged as a dominant global power, shaping the international order for decades. The lessons of World War II remain relevant today, highlighting the dangers of isolationism and the need for strong democratic engagement.
