 “Until today, the officially-officious American view of history, and especially of the 20th century, is seen as a triumph of good over evil.

    Yet, after more than fifty years of occupation and reeducation in Germany, topics and factual circumstances are being publicly discussed again, which not only do not fit into the American worldview but have also long been taboo (in defeated Germany even more so than in victorious USA): the bloodthirsty beginning of modern USA with the military conquest, devastation, and ongoing occupation of the secessionist southern states by the Union government in the second American War of Independence, the targeted entanglement of the USA in the First World War, the overthrow of the Tsar and the Kaiser and the Versailles Treaty dictatorship, the extent of the crimes of Lenin and Stalin and their role in the rise of Mussolini and Hitler, the friendly relationship between Roosevelt and Stalin and the resulting decades-long communist power exercise throughout Eastern and Central Europe, the Allied terror bombing of civilians and the American mistreatment of German prisoners of war, the transfer of Western prisoners of war to Stalin’s execution squads, the expulsion of millions of Germans and, in addition to the unholy Holocaust, also the Holocaust Industry (which, among other things, speaks not about past deeds but misdeeds).

    My studies presented here are also “politically incorrect.” They thus fit into an increasingly “revisionist” intellectual landscape, which I hope (at least I hope this) can gain some influence in Germany as well, in order to prevent similar disastrous developments in the future.”
