1941



(My original has many pictures and illustrations.  Please excuse this installment until I am able to complete it.)

 Long a famous cultural event, the Vienna Fair or Vienna Festival Week was celebrated in June(?).

 Blackletter or Gothic script, was used throughout Western Europe from approximately 1150 to well into the 17th century.  It continued to be used for the German language until the 20th century.  On 1/3, 1941, a decree was given to switch to European standard script.  The Allies further enforced this.

 David Davies, 1st Baron Davies (5/11, 1880 – 6/16, 1944), was a politician and public benefactor, the grandson of the industrialist, David Davies "Llandinam".  From 1906 to 1929, he was in Parliament and an active supporter of the League of Nations.  In 1932 he established the New Commonwealth Society for ‘the promotion of international law and order’, writing several books on the right use of force, notably The Problem of the Twentieth Century (1930), which was translated into German and other languages.  His ideas had an impact on the writing of the UN Charter, especially with regards to sanctions and the transition of national armies to an international police.  In 1941 Lord Davies wrote “Foundations of Victory” (London, Collins), in which he tells the story of the concentration camps in England.
Wunderwaffen ("wonder-weapons")   Most remained prototypes, or were developed too late.  Axis engineers developed a sonic cannon that could literally shake a person apart from the inside, but rifle, bazooka and mortar rounds easily deformed the parabolic reflectors, rendering the wave amplification ineffective.   The Third Reich further developed sonic weaponry, using parabolic reflectors to project sound waves of destructive force.  Microwave Weapons were investigated together with the Japanese.  Other weapons were two 33,550 and a 56,500 ton aircraft carriers; two H-44, a 140,000 ton battleships with eight 20 inch guns; a ballistic missile U-boat; an air-independent propelled Type XVIII, XXII, XXIV, XXVI U-boat; completely submerged Type XXI, XXIII, XXV U-boat (Electric boat); Type XI U-boat designed to carry a floatplane; a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun; an experimental tank destroyer; Super-heavy tanks; Gliders; Piston engine aircraft; Jets and rocket-propelled aircraft; Helicopters; Bombs and explosives (German nuclear energy project); Artillery –(Heavy Gustav) - an 800mm railway gun and V-3 cannon - "High Pressure Pump" a supergun; Missiles; Orbital -Sun gun - a parabolic mirror in orbit designed to focus sunlight onto specific locations on the Earth's surface; Rifles; Directed-Energy weapons: Rheotron/Betatrons(electron accelerator to pre-ionize ignition in Aircraft engines and bring planes down into the reach of the FLAK.  This was captured by the Americans in Burggrub on April 14, 1945.
****The Big Lie is a propaganda technique.  The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, for a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."  Hitler believed the technique was used by Jews to unfairly blame Germany's loss in World War I on German Army officer Erich Ludendorff.
“But it remained for the Jews, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Marxists, to impute responsibility for the downfall precisely to the man who alone had shown a superhuman will and energy in his effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and to save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame. By placing responsibility for the loss of the world war on the shoulders of Ludendorff they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Fatherland to Justice.
“All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true within itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. -—Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X  In that same chapter, Hitler accused "the Jews" of their use of the Big Lie.
Later, Joseph Goebbels put forth a slightly different theory which has come to be more commonly associated with the expression "big lie." Goebbels wrote the following paragraph in an article dated 12 January 1941, 16 years after Hitler's first use of the phrase "big lie," titled "Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik" and translated "From Churchill's Lie Factory."  It was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.  “The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
In 1941, (Internet says) Hitler banned the Jewish community in Poland from the observance of Purim. They were forbidden to read the Scroll of Esther and the synagogues were closed on that day.  (How did he do this in their neighborhoods?)
1941 At the 150th anniversary of Mozart’s death, Germany led the Continent with festivals and events in nearly every city.  Mozart was celebrated as a German-European.
What Makes Sammy Run? (1941) is a novel by Jew (& communist) Budd Schulberg.  Schulberg’s father was a Hollywood mogul.  It is a rags to riches story chronicling the rise and fall of Sammy Glick, a Jewish boy born in New York's Lower East Side who very early in his life makes up his mind to escape the ghetto and climb the ladder of success.  It was later made into a long-running Broadway musical.
 Adolf Wagner (10/1, 1890 -4/12, 1944) was a German soldier and high-ranking Nazi Party official.  Wagner angered Adolf Hitler in 1941 when he insisted on removing crucifixes from Bavarian classrooms, which outraged the Roman Catholic Church and the general public.  The opposition to this move was so strong Wagner was forced to rescind the order, one of the circumstances of successful public opposition in Nazi Germany.  Despite this faux pas, Hitler apparently remained on good terms with Wagner.  When Wagner died in April 1944, Hitler made a rare public appearance to attend his lavish funeral, and posthumously awarded him the German Order, the Nazi Party's highest decoration.

Jacob Thorkelson (9/24, 1876 – 11/20, 1945) was a U.S. congressman Republican representative from Montana from 3/3, 1939 until 3/1, 1941,  Naval officer and medical doctor.  Thorkelson was labeled as "rabidly pro-fascist and anti-semitic" for his use of the Congressional Record to reprint anti-British and anti-Jewish propaganda and his support for retired General George Van Horn Moseley.  Commentator Walter Winchell called Thorkelson "the mouthpiece of the Nazi movement in congress".  Thorkelson later sued Winchell for $1.8 million after being included by Winchell as one of a list of "Americans We Can Do Without".  (Who won?)
 Jeannette Pickering Rankin (6/11, 1880 – 5/18, 1973) was the first woman in the US Congress.  A Republican, she was elected statewide in Montana in 1916 and again in 1940.  A lifelong pacifist, she was one of the 50 members of Congress who voted against the entry of the US into World War I in 1917 and the only member of Congress who voted against declaring war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  

March 7, 1941 - British forces invade Greece.
March 11 - President Roosevelt signs the Lend-Lease Act, before US enters war and is officially neutral.  Lend-lease aids militant Jewish-Communist Soviet Union.  Without Lend-Lease, Soviet Union would have fallen swiftly later to Germany.
March 14, 1941    Purim, the Jewish holiday of Revenge against Gentiles.  Jews throughout the world label specific enemies as Haman and Christianity in general as Haman.  Other episodes of revenge throughout the year could still be connected to the spirit of Purim.
  Purim, Berlin - 1940’s clothing?
March 22 Marshal Petain signs a new law authorizing the construction of a Trans-Sahara railway.  The work is done by all who had been interned: former Spanish Republican soldiers, Poles, Czechs, Greeks and Jews (See May 1941). (Atlas)
March 27, 1941 - A Communist coup in Yugoslavia overthrows the pro-Axis government.
Yugoslavia is taken over by Communist leadership.
Spring –(Purim?) (Jew-led)Soviets murder 25,000 (Catholic) Polish officers and intellectuals.  The massacre at Katyn was blamed on Germany and codified at Nuremburg.  Soviets have since confessed to this heinous crime.  “Kill the Best of the Gentiles!”-esteemed Talmudic Rabbi Rashi of ~1100ad. 
In April 1941, through a plebiscite, the ethnic German Carinthian Slovenes voted on whether or not they wanted to become citizens of the Third Reich.   Styria and Carinthia in eastern Austria/ western Yugoslavia were annexed.
1941 set showing scenes from newly annexed territories, Styria and Carinthia in eastern Austria/ western Yugoslavia.              
April 3 - Pro-Axis regime set up in Iraq, which was British mandate because of oil production.  Iraq is composed of three Ottoman provinces and include Sunnis, Shites and Kurds. 
April 6 - Germany declares on communist Yugoslavia.  Germans invade Greece and Yugoslavia to stop Communists and the British invasion of Greece.  Yugoslavia declares on Bulgaria.  April 10-Yugoslavia declares on Hungary.  April 17 - Communist Yugoslavia surrenders to the Germans.  April 27 – Greece surrenders to the Germans.  
Germany was forced to invade Greece because of the fiasco of the attempted Italian invasion through Albania, of Greece.  The British also had invaded Greece.  Germany had not wanted to enter Greece.  The Epistassia, the four-member executive committee appointed annually by the Holy Community, asked Hitler to place Mount Athos under his personal protection, and he agreed.  It was known to all Greeks that the Germans were not allowed to destroy Greece's archaeological and ecclesiastical monuments.
Germans chased the British out of Greece in April 1941.  The reality is that in the midst of the worldwide conflict, despite a partisan war and a maritime blockade enforced by the British, Germany sent Greece large quantities of gold in order to quell a catastrophic inflation and to stabilize the Greek currency, efforts that were not without success.  She also sent foodstuffs to Greece so as to stave off a threatening famine, as well as German export goods – and this despite the shortages the German people were beginning to suffer.  Through the intermediary of Sweden, a neutral country, she entered into contact with the British authorities, whom she in the end got to lift the blockade of Greek waters in favor of a Swedish ship loaded with German provisions, which was thus able, each month, to sail from Trieste or Venice and reach Piraeus, the port of Athens, without running the risk of being torpedoed.
April 13 - Japanese–Soviet Non-aggression Pact, two years after the brief Soviet-Japanese Border War (1939).

April 24 –Bulgaria declares war on Greece and Yugoslavia.
In May 1941, the Dutch Jewish Weekly announced that it was mandatory to sew a yellow Star of David onto three layers of clothing; overcoat, jacket and blouse.  The Dutch Jewish leaders had not wanted the Jewish illegals in their country either.  Instructions specified the exact location.  If you didn’t and were found out, you were immediately deported.  Individuals paid for their own stars.  Some non-Jews pinned one on to show solidarity, but they were arrested.
May 10, 1941 - Deputy Führer Rudolph Hess flies to Scotland on Peace mission.  Rudolf Walter Richard Hess (written Heß in Germany) (April 26, 1894 – August 17, 1987) was a prominent figure in Nazi Germany, acting as Adolf Hitler's Deputy in the Nazi Party.  On the eve of war with the Soviet Union, he flew solo to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate peace with the United Kingdom, but instead was arrested.  It has been declared that he flew without Hitler’s knowledge.  (5/30/11 Hitler Knew of Hess' British Flight Plans-Hess’ adjutant Karlheinz Pintsch, Hitler's valet Heinz Linge, Ernst Wilhelm Bohle, the head of the Nazi Party's foreign organization, and Göring's adjutant Karl Heinrich Bodenschatz, all believed Hitler knew.)  He was tried at Nuremberg and sentenced to life in prison at Spandau Prison, Berlin, where he died in 1987, possibly murdered, staged as a suicide.
Rudolf Hess flew to Great Britain with Hitler's knowledge and with a 7 Point peace plan from Hitler in his pocket. The German Leader's Peace Plan included: a) The withdrawal of all German Troops from Poland, Belgium, France & Holland. b) Reimbursement for war damage to those countries c) Total German disarmament d) The destruction of all German war weaponry. This offer threw the British Government into turmoil.  Churchill's hastily improvised government had by then reached the point of no return.  They were already hell bent on destroying a system superior to their own and which presented itself as a major competitor for Britain's markets.  1942 June 26 Rudolf Hess is transported to a British County Mental Hospital.  Hess abruptly quits complaining of being poisoned and drugged; begins sleeping proper hours, eats without complaint, and exercises frequently.  Hess' disposition becomes sunny and cheerful, and a car is provided for chauffer-driven rides in the countryside literally whenever he pleases. (Missing Years)  1944 5/7 1944 Rudolf Hess voluntarily agrees to be injected with Evipan, a proprietary brand of the so-called "truth drug," Pentothal (sodium Thiopental).  Hess convinces the doctors, including Dr. Dicks, that he is suffering from profound amnesia. (Missing Years)

May 10/11 - Germans bomb London, the British bomb Hamburg civilians.
May 15 - Operation Brevity begins (the British counter-attack in Egypt).
May 24 - Sinking of the British ship Hood by the Bismarck.  May 27 - Bismarck is not sunk by the British Navy, but is scuttled by her own officers, so that British could not discover its unsinkable structure.  The propaganda is that a air-borne torpedo sunk it in increment weather.  Some say this was a turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic and hence of the whole war in Europe.
The Allied victory in the Atlantic came with the introduction of a small number of long-range aircraft to cover the notorious Atlantic Gap.  The bombing offensive, almost brought to a halt in the winter of 1943-4, was saved by the addition of long-range fuel tanks to escort-fighters, a tiny expense in the overall cost of the bombing campaign.

****In June, Roosevelt advisor Kaufman plans for the annihilation of the German people “Germany Must Perish”.  From this point Germans know Allied plans and fight accordingly.  Theodore N. Kaufman, the author of Germany Must Perish, was a Manhattan-born Jewish businessman who was also chairman of a group that called itself the "American Federation for Peace."  The first edition of this slim volume was published in 1940 or early 1941.  A second, 96-page edition, which sold for 25 cents, was published in 1941 by Argyle Press of Newark, New Jersey.  Both editions were issued when the United States was still officially neutral, that is, before the Pearl Harbor attack of December 7, 1941, that brought the U.S. openly into the War.  Kaufman's fervent proposal for the systematic sterilization of the entire German population was given respectful attention in the American press, including reviews in a number of newspapers.  A review in the weekly Time magazine, March 24, 1941, called Kaufman's plan a "sensational idea."
 Theodore Newman Kaufman (sometimes wrongly given as "Theodore Nathan Kaufmann" (2/22, 1910 – 4/1, 1986) was an American Jew businessman and writer.  In 1939 he published pamphlets as chairman of the American Federation of Peace that argued that America should not fight in foreign wars.  (vs) In 1941 he wrote and published Germany Must Perish! which called for the sterilization of the German people and the redistribution of the German lands.
Germany's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, seized with delight on the book.  "This Jew [Kaufman] has done a disservice to the enemy," Goebbels privately commented.  "If he had composed the book at my behest he couldn't have done a better job."  At his direction the German press played up Kaufman's call for genocide.  A front page article about the book in the Berlin daily Der Angriff, July 23, 1941, appeared under headlines that called it a "Diabolical Plan for the Extermination of the German People" and a work of "Old Testament Hatred."  Extracts also appeared, for example, in the nationally-circulated weekly paper Das Reich, August 3, 1941.
 “Germany Must Die!” Poster exploiting “Germany Must Perish”, which advocated, among other things, the sterilization of the entire German population and the dismemberment of Germany as a nation.
A plan similar to Kaufman's was issued during the war years by a prominent American anthropologist.  In an article headlined "Breed War Strain Out of Germans" in the New York daily newspaper P.M., January 4, 1943, Ernest Hooton laid out an "outbreeding" plan that would "destroy German nationalism and aggressive ideology while retaining and perpetuating desirable German biological and sociological capacities." (See also: Benjamin Colby, ‘Twas a Famous Victory, 1974, p. 131) The Harvard University professor's proposal called for genetically transforming the German nation by encouraging mating of German women with non-German men, who would be brought into the country in large numbers, and of German men, forcibly held outside of Germany, with non-German women.  Ten to twelve million German men would be assigned to forced labor under Allied supervision in countries outside of Germany to rebuild their economies.  "The objects of this measure," wrote Dr. Hooton, "include reduction of the birthrate of 'pure' Germans, neutralization of German aggressiveness by outbreeding and denationalization of indoctrinated individuals."  This plan, Hooton estimated, would require at least 20 years to be implemented.  "During this period," he went on, "encourage also the immigration and settlement in the German states of non-German nationals, especially males."  In the decades since the end of World War II, something of the spirit of the genocidal Kaufman and Hooton plans seems manifest in Germany's population and immigration policies.  Since the nation's defeat in 1945, the German birth rate has fallen to below the replacement level, millions of racially and culturally alien migrants have been welcomed as settlers in Germany, the number of children of mixed ethnicity has sharply increased, and the ethnic-cultural character of much of the country has been drastically altered, especially in the larger cities.

 Sir Pelham Grenville (PG)Wodehouse, (10/15 1881 – 2/14 1975) was an English humorist, whose body of work includes novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism.  He enjoyed enormous popular success during a career that lasted more than seventy years.  When World War II broke out in 1939 he remained at his seaside home in France.  The German military authorities in occupied France interned him from May 1940-June 1941.  He then moved to Berlin and made 5 radio broadcasts aimed at America.  They were all light-hearted accounts of his time during internment.   Documents declassified in the 1980s revealed that while living in Paris, his living expenses were paid by the Nazis, but the money was, in fact, Wodehouse's legitimate earnings, which had to be channeled via the German Central Bank.  Later, talking about Hollywood: “The trouble is, you see, all these Jews out here have been having a gorgeous time  for years, fooling about with the shareholders’ money and giving all their relations fat jobs…”
June 4, 1941 - Pro-Allied puppet government installed in Iraq by British.
Wilhelm Friedrich Euler (5/19, 1908 -2/14, 1995) was a German archivist, genealogist and founder of Foundation.  In 1941, Friedrich Wilhelm Euler, Germany's leading expert on Jewish genealogy, published a lengthy article entitled "The Penetration of Jewish Blood into the English Upper Class."  Euler asked how modern Britain became the "protecting power of Jewry" despite the relatively small size of the Jewish community there.  He claimed too much emphasis had been placed on Jewish economic and intellectual influence, and not enough on the penetration of the English aristocracy by Jewish blood.  Well before British Jews were emancipated in the 19th Century, Euler argued, baptized members of commercially and financially successful Jewish families had married into the English nobility.  Virtually all of his 148-page article consisted of a catalog of Jewish conversions and subsequent marriages with non-Jews, starting in the fourteenth century.  The evidence proved that the English aristocracy had literally sealed a "marriage with Jewry" in terms of its "blood substance."
June 8, 1941 - Allies invade Syria and Lebanon, which were British and French mandates after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
6/13, 1941 Moldova Remembers Soviet-Era Deportations (AP) - On 6/13, 1941, the Soviet Union, which had occupied the former Romanian province a year earlier, loaded 22,600 Moldovans on cargo trains bound for Siberia, where the deportees were used for forced labor. "Loaded in cattle cars, in inhumane conditions, most of the deportees were sent to the cold lands of Siberia and never returned home," said Valentina Sturza, a former deportee who heads the Association of Former Political Prisoners.  Participants held a traditional Orthodox religious service and lit candles for the victims of the deportations. Two other waves of deportations were carried out in 1949 and 1951, with another 40,000 Moldovans sent to Siberia and what is now Kazakhstan.
June 14, 1941 - United States freezes German and Italian assets in America.  This included Axis Jewish money which is confiscated after five years.
“And at the outset of the war, as we all know, Jews were among the first evacuated from the western regions threatened by the Hitlerite invaders, and shipped to safety east of the Urals.”  Louis Levine - quoted in Robert H. Williams' “The Anti-Defamation League”
“Stalin's War” by Ernst Topitsch (3/20, 1919 -1/26, 2003) was an Austrian philosopher and sociologist.  Hitler's war was in reality Stalin's war, "Moscow's bid for world domination".  Stalin had let the German troops penetrate only as a trick before Moscow attacked.  Stalin, not Hitler, planned WWII, with an eye towards invading western Europe after the defeat of Germany.  Only the strong presence of American troops in. Germany at war's end kept this nightmare scenario from unfolding.

****Russia             Soviet Union                       Russia                       Soviet Union
**** Soviet Union Prepares to Attack Germany****
Germany begins Pre-Emptive War on Soviet Union
Hitler and his generals agreed that war on two fronts would be suicidal, but they had to invade Russia to pre-empt Stalin's massive thrust to cut off Germany from Romanian oil.  Details from Russian archives suggest that this was due to start in July 1941.
Operation Barbarossa, launched on June 22 1941, was the biggest military campaign in history.  Each army numbered more than three million soldiers – but the Russians had far heavier fire power with 20,000 tanks to 3,300. 
June 22 – Germany and Italy declare war on the Soviet Union.  Rumania and Finland join against Soviet Union.  Germany attacks Soviet Union as Operation Barbarossa begins.  Russia had been posed to attack Germany.  Hitler is Savior of Europe for stopping the Red butchers.  Soviet army is composed of 25% Ukrainians, whom have lived through their manufactured famine and many nations including the nations of the East.  Later when Soviets take Berlin, many of their soldiers are Mongolians.  Soviet Jewish Commissars would execute any soldier that ran or surrendered, or freed after capture.  A large army of White Russians after capture by Germans then fought against their previous Red Masters.
The earlier division of Poland gave the Soviet Union 200 more kilometers towards Germany.  In Hitler's invasion of Russia, the strategic goal of occupation of Moscow, was short by only 40 kms.  Had the German Armies' starting point been 200 kms. closer to Moscow they might have been able to overrun Moscow before winter set in and thus achieve victory over the Soviet Union.  Hitler could have usurped the whole of Poland - ignoring the Soviet pact - with small risk of Russian hostilities.  Hitler wanted to respect the now-smaller Poland.  Germany knew well the exact condition of Stalin's desperate rearmament program, for they were themselves the suppliers of the industrial technology and even of much of the combat air force.  Hitler was already delayed by the second front involving the invasion of the Low Countries and France, the failed campaign against the British Isles and, last but not least, by their last-minute invasion of the Balkan.
The second invasion front date was delayed by 6 weeks due to an incursion to pacify the Balkans after American diplomatic agitation in Romania made Hitler's flank and oil supplies insecure.  This proved crucial for the Red Army, causing Hitler's forces to lose momentum before the Russian winter began.  The Balkan diversion was carefully engineered by Churchill and Roosevelt, who knew exactly of Hitler's plan to invade Russia due to secret British possession of the German cypher machine, Enigma, the codes of which were regularly broken. Stalin had refused to believe their warnings, taking them as a mere attempt to destroy the Russo-German pact, which was a continuation of existing broad military and industrial co-operation for many years prior to the pact (the facts of which first came to light as late as the mid-1990s).

German Christian Graves at the front.
On 6/22, 1941, the Council of the Supreme Soviet imposed martial law over Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Ukraine, White Russia, Karelia, Bessarabia, as well as over the territories of Archangel, Murmansk, Vologda, Leningrad, Kalinin, Ivanovo, Yaroslav, Ryazan-Smolensk, Tula, Kursk, Moscow, Voronezh, Orel, the Crimea, and Krasnodar.  General mobilization was ordered in 15 military districts.
 The Christian populations under the Jewish Soviets support the Germans and call them Liberators.
Rumania, Finland and Hungary and Albania join Germany against Soviet Union.
****A scorched earth policy is a military strategy or operational method which involves destroying anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area.  Although initially referring to the practice of burning crops to deny the enemy food sources, in its modern usage the term includes the destruction of infrastructure such as shelter, transportation, communications and industrial resources. The practice may be carried out by an army in enemy territory, or its own home territory.  It may overlap with, but is not the same as, punitive destruction of an enemy's resources, which is done for purely strategic/political reasons rather than strategic/operational reasons.  It was most famously used against Napoleon's and Hitler's armies invading Russia.

Hitler refuses to use poison gases or assassination of foreign opponents.  While Soviet tanks flew the Nazi swastika as a ruse, Hitler forbade his tanks to violate flag rules.
June 22 Sept 1941 Einsatzgruppen ("task forces") were SS paramilitary squads that were responsible for policing operations in the vast newly conquered territories.  They were only needed for a short time to arrest Communist Partisans and kill if necessary.  110,000 uniformed soldiers patrolling 850,000 sq miles of occupied Soviet territory with 70 million inhabitants.  Soviet and Soviet partisans would torture and then execute their captives.   A very large percentage of the Germans are support staff, such as interpreters and drivers.  Interesting Sidelight:  As Court Historians lower Gas Chamber numbers, more deaths are applied to this military support.
June 22 U.S. Senator Harry Truman announces that, "If we see that Germany is going to win, we will help Soviet Russia, but if it is the other way around, we will have to help Germany.  Let's leave them alone so that they will weaken each other as much as possible." (Marschalko)  (After Roosevelt's death in 1945, many Germans believed the U.S. would soon join them in the fight against Communism)
June 26 Finland declares war on the Soviet Union.
June 28 - Germans liberate Minsk.
6/22-7/3, 1941 The Battle of Białystok–Minsk was a German strategic operation.  Its goal, the encirclement of the Red Army forces around Minsk, was accomplished.  On conclusion, 290,000 Soviet soldiers were captured.
8/23-9/26, 1941 The Battle of Kiev was the German name for the operation that resulted in a very large encirclement of Soviet troops in the vicinity of Kiev.  It is considered the largest encirclement of troops in history.  Nearly the entire Southwestern Front of the Red Army was encircled with the Germans claiming 665,000 captured.  
German Camps for Russian POW’s: The orthodox Jewish story is that some 3.3 million Soviet POWs died in Nazi custody, out of 5.7 million.  Yet - In the first months of the Russian campaign the Germans took 3 million Soviet soldiers POW.  In the early months of the campaign, hundreds of thousands (some say 1 million) died by malnutrition, exhausting, illness and wounds. Moreover, Stalin bombarded POW camps in the Baltic states, because he didn't recognize the Geneva Treaties and designated all Soviet POW's as "traitors".  Stalin’s son may have committed suicide in a German camp, knowing his father would consider him a traitor.   The Germans contacted the Russian authorities to come to support of their "comrades", but they refused vehemently.  Only after 3 months, October '41, the Germans were able to feed the prisoners properly, but the death numbers stayed high.  On December 2nd, the Germans managed to raise food rations to a level higher than Soviet-citizens got from their Government.  Having no other choice than stay in abominable camps on Russian soil, or escape and be shot as 'traitors' by their 'comrades', 2 million Russian POW's choose to go into German service.  Russian POW's who entered the German Army, did so at their own free will.  Those who didn’t were treated as well as the Germans were able to do so as POW’s.  More than a million POW's also, especially ethnic groups who opposed communism and/or wanted autonomy for their States of origin (Georgians, Turkmenistans, Caucasians, Cossacks, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Vlassov Division soldiers, etc.) entered German military forces and were incorporated or sometimes transformed to security units, units against partisans, etc.  Also, more than a million Russian POW's were transported to German concentration camps; nearly all German men were in military service, as the German industry desperately needed labor force.  Quite another story than usually told: "the Germans killed 3.3-5 million Russian POW's".
 Dugouts served as living quarters for prisoners in Stalag 319—a Nazi-built camp for Soviet prisoners of war near Chelm, Poland, between 1941 and 1944.  The Germans did their best in helping their POW’s, lending shovels wood, canvas, rope, etc.  In dramatic opposite, the Allies with their tremendous resources left the German POW’s in a field with nothing and deliberately starved over a million to death..
11/14, 1944 (official start) Russian Liberation Army was a group of predominantly Russian forces subordinated to the Nazi German high command.  The ROA was organized by former Red Army General Andrey Vlasov, who tried to unite anti-communist Russians opposed to the communist regime.  Amidst the volunteers were Soviet prisoners of war, and White Russian émigrés.  On 1/28, 1945, it was officially declared that the Russian divisions no longer formed part of the German Army.
Russian Camps for German POW’s: Between 374,000 and 1 million German prisoners of war (out of estimated 2.4 to 3.3 million) died in Soviet labor camps.(Wikipedia)  Approximately three million German prisoners of war were captured by the Soviet Union during World War II, most of them during the great advances of the Red Army in the last year of the war.  The POW were employed as forced labor in the Soviet wartime economy and post war reconstruction.  By 1950 almost all had been released, in 1956 the last surviving German POW returned home from the USSR.  According to Soviet records 381,067 German Wehrmacht POW died in NKVD camps (356,700 German nationals and 24,367 from other nations).  German estimates put the actual death toll of German POW in the USSR at about 1.0 million; they maintain that among those reported as missing were men who actually died as POW.  Needless to say, the truth is many more!

July 3, 1941 - Stalin calls for a scorched earth policy against his own people.  He would rather they starve, then to be saved by the Germans.
On 3 July 1941, Stalin, in his well-known radio speech: “Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and Sisters! Fighters of our Army and Navy!”, which was broadcast everywhere over and over again in the following days, ordered the population to deprive the German invader of everything that might be of use: “Not single locomotive, not one single railroad car, not one kilogram of grain, not one liter of fuel must be left behind for the German enemy”.  Anything that could not be taken away was to be destroyed: “In enemy-occupied areas, partisan divisional units, on both foot and horseback, must be created to fight the units of the enemy army, to set partisan warfare ablaze everywhere, to blow up bridges and streets, to destroy telephone and telegraph connections, to burn down forests, warehouses and wreck trains. Intolerable conditions must be created in the occupied territories; the enemy is to be pursued and destroyed at all time, and all enemy measures must be thwarted.”
1/29, 2010  The Simon Wiesenthal Center said that Stepan Bandera and his followers were linked to the deaths of thousands of Jews. President Viktor Yushchenko bestowed the Hero of Ukraine award to Bandera for his role in fighting for an independent Ukraine.  Stepan Andriyovych Bandera (1/1, 1909 – 10/15, 1959) was the leader of the Ukrainian nationalist movement.  Soviet authorities authorized the KGB to assassinate him which took place in Munich, West Germany, on 10/15, 1959.  On 7/6, 1941 Bandera was imprisoned by the Nazis; in Sept 1944 he was released.  The intermittently close relationship between Bandera, the OUN and Nazi Germany has been described as "ambivalent", tactical and opportunistic.  In September 1944  Bandera was released in the hope that he would rouse the native populace to fight the advancing Soviet Army.  The predominance of the Russians, rather than the Jewish minority, as the principal perceived enemy of Ukrainian nationalists was highlighted at the OUN-B's Conference in Krakow in 1941 when it declared that "The Jews in the USSR constitute the most faithful support of the ruling Bolshevik regime, and the vanguard of Muscovite imperialism in Ukraine. The Muscovite-Bolshevik government exploits the anti-Jewish sentiments of the Ukrainian masses to divert their attention from the true cause of their misfortune and to channel them in a time of frustration into pogroms on Jews. The OUN combats the Jews as the prop of the Muscovite-Bolshevik regime and simultaneously it renders the masses conscious of the fact that the principal foe is Moscow."

****(General Plan East) Generalplan Ost (GPO) was a German plan for Eastern Europe.  Drang nach Osten (Drive towards the East)was the supposed ideology of German expansion to the east, but both the plan and the ideology was more economic and hegemonic than the propaganda of the court historians.  According to the coerced, suspect Nuremberg testimony of SS-Standartenführer Dr. Hans Ehlich, the final version of the plan was drafted in 1940.  The Propaganda says it called for vast genocide.  The Allies say that nearly all the wartime documentation on Generalplan Ost was deliberately destroyed shortly before Germany's defeat in May 1945, which is impossible.  The ‘proofs’ are memorandum musings and coerced, suspect testimony.  The actual General Plan East primarily called for the relocation of the Talmudic, Zionist and Soviet Jews.  The Soviets had created the Jewish homeland of Birobidzhan in 1937, the Germans had been cooperating with the Zionists, and other locations were still being discussed. It called for the dissolution of Communism and imprisonment of radicals and lawbreakers.  It called for Germanization of all regions which had at earlier centuries had been Germanic.  Certain Peoples were much more spread out in territory than the tightly populated Germans and their regions could be reduced.  It called for co-operation with all nationalities. 
 Europe, with pre-WW2 borders, showing the extension of the Generalplan Ost.
LEGEND: Dark grey – Germany.  Dotted black line – the extension of a detailed plan of the "second phase of settlement".  Light grey – planned territorial scope of the Reichskommissariat administrative units; their names in blue are Ostland (1941-1945), Ukraine (1941-1944), Moskowien (never realized), and Kaukasien (never realized).
 7/17, 1941 Ostland - Reichskommissariat Ostland (RKO) - After the German pre-emptive invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany instituted the civilian occupation government in the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), the north-eastern part of Poland, and west part of Belarusian SSR.  It was also known as ("Baltic Land") initially.  These lands had a fundamentally "European" character, resulting from 700 years of history under Swedish, Danish, and German rule.  The Talmudic and Zionist Jews would be relocated and a stronger Germanization would begin.  Throughout 1943 and 1944, the Red Army gradually recaptured most of the territory.  (Ostland should not be confused with Ober Ost, which had a similar role as an occupation authority for Baltic territories by the German Empire in World War I.) The government planned to encourage the post-war settlement of Germans to the region, seeing it as a region traditionally inhabited by Germans (see the Teutonic Order and the Northern Crusades) that had been overrun by Slavs.  During the war itself in Pskov province ethnic Germans were resettled from Romania with some Dutch.  The settlement of Dutch settlers was encouraged by the (Netherland’s East Company), a Dutch-German organization.  Historical German and Germanic-sounding place-names were also retained (or introduced) for many Baltic cities.  The four "General Regions" were Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and White Ruthenia (Belarus).
 7/17, 1941 Ukraine - Reichskommissariat Ukraine (abbreviated as RKU), was the civilian occupation government.  Hitler appointed the Erich Koch as Reichskommissar on August 20, 1941.  Originally subject to Alfred Rosenberg's Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories, it became a separate German civil entity.  The first transfer of Ukrainian territory from military to civil administration took place on September 1, 1941.  There were further transfers on October 20 and November 1, 1941, and a final transfer on September 1, 1942, which brought the boundaries of the province to beyond the Dnieper River.  Germany was considered the Liberator of Ukraine from the Communists, especially the supremacist, antichristian Jews.  On December 14, 1941, Rosenberg discussed with Hitler various issues regarding Ukraine.  These included a dispute over Koch's status and access to Hitler, manpower shortages over gathering the harvest, Hitler's insistence that the Crimea and much of Southern Ukraine was to have the Talmudic, Zionist and Soviet Jews relocated and directly attached to the Reich as a district called Gotenland ("Land of the Goths").  The Reichskommissariat Ukraine excluded several parts of present-day Ukraine, and included some territories outside of its modern borders.  Eastern Galicia became part.  Some former Soviet territory between the Southern Bug and Dniester rivers was given to Romania.
The Wehrmacht introduced reforms in Ukraine allowing religious liberty.  The supremacist, antichristian Jews had destroyed hundreds of churches and murdered priests.  The government was planning to encourage the settlement of German and other "Germanic" farmers in the region after the war; the Soviets had killed most of the prosperous and industrious Germanic Kulak farmers.  Ukraine had been the residence of ancient Germanic Gothic tribes.  Again, Dutch settlers were sent in to farm.  The surviving German Kulaks had the return of their land and property which had been taken at the Soviet Revolution.  Heinrich Himmler considered Kiev to be "an ancient German city" because of the Magdeburg city rights that it had acquired centuries prior, and often referred to it as "Kiroffo".
Moskowien - Reichskommissariat Moskowien (Moskau, RKM) was the civilian occupation government that Germany intended to create in central and northern European Russia.    “This occupation will indeed have a completely different character to that in the Baltic Sea provinces, in the Ukraine and in the Caucasus.  It will be geared towards the oppression of any Russian or Bolshevist resistance and requires an absolutely ruthless (strong) personality, not only on the part of the military representation but also the potential political leadership.  The resulting tasks need not be recorded. (in this short musing of a memo)” - Alfred Rosenberg, memo only dated April 7, 1941
Wikipedia - Rosenberg viewed that the political goal of Operation Barbarossa was not merely the destruction of the Bolshevik regime, but the "reversing of Russian dynamism" towards the east (Siberia) and the freeing of the Reich of the "eastern nightmare (Communism) for centuries to come" by down-siizing the Russian state, regardless of its political ideology.  The continued existence of Russia as a potential instigator of Pan-Slavism and its suggestive power over other Slavic peoples in the fight between "Germandom" and "Slavism" was seen as a major threat.  This was to be solved by exploiting ethnic centrifugal forces and limiting the influence of "Greater Russiandom" by promoting segmentation.  (Germany, before WWI, during 1939, and currently has considered Russia as a potential ally.  Slavs were considered as Aryans, but more Asiatic and backwards.)
In a memorandum musing sent to Rosenberg in March 1942, German anthropologist Otto Reche argues for the disappearance of 'Russia' both as an ethnic and political concept, and the promotion of a new plethora of ethnicities based on medieval Slavic tribes such as the Vyatichs and Severians.  Even White Ruthenia, and in particular the Ukraine ("in its present extent") he deemed to be dangerously large.  Heinrich Himmler in a memorandum expressed that the Germans had to acknowledge and cultivate as many ethnic splinter groups in German-occupied Poland as possible, including Ukrainians, "White Russians" (Belarusians), Gorals, Lemkos, and Kashubians.  The Eastern Ministry responded that Reche's emphasis on the plurality of ethnic groups in the Soviet Union was correct "in itself", but was skeptical about his proposal to resurrect obscure and extinct nationalities.  Reche defended his proposal by arguing that “in the area of ethnicity much has already been successfully brought back to life!"   
A series of "semantic guidelines" published by the Reich Interior Ministry in 1942 declare that it is permissible to use the word 'Russia' only in a reference to the "Petersburg empire" of Peter the Great and its follow-ups until the revolution of 1917.  The period from 1300 to Peter the Great (the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Tsardom of Russia) was to be called the "Muscovite state", while post-1917 Russia was not to be referred to as an empire or a state at all; the preferred terms for this period were "bolshevik chaos" or "communist elements".  Furthermore, historic expressions such as Little Russia (Ukraine), White Russia (Belarus/White Ruthenia), Russian Sea (for the Black Sea), and Russian Asia (for Siberia and Central Asia) were to be absolutely avoided as terminology of the "Muscovite imperialism".  "Tatars" was described as a pejorative Russian term for the Volga, Crimean, and Azerbaijan Turks which was preferably to be avoided, and respectively replaced with the concepts "Idel (Volga)-Uralian", "Crimean Turks", and Azerbaijanis.
Kaukasus - The Reichskommissariat Kaukasus, was the planned civilian occupation government of the Caucasus.  The Caucasus experiments were to be conducted for various forms of autonomy for "indigenous groups".  Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia should each be called a Land and be given statuses of "state entities" under German protection.  These three proto-governments, and those of the North Caucasus were ordered to settle their territorial differences during the German advance into the Caucasus.   Hitler's strategic thinking delegated Turkey a role of an ally protecting Germany's southern flank against the remnants of the defeated USSR.  There was also a contingency in case Turkey joined the Allies.
 Herbert Backe (5/1, 1896 – 4/6, 1947) was a German Nazi politician and Obergruppenführer in the SS.  He performed a variety of duties in the Third Reich, the most notable of which was succeeding Richard Walther Darré as Minister of Food in May 1942 and as Minister of Agriculture in April 1944, and, during the war, was proposed by Alfred Rosenberg as administrator of Ukraine.  Backe was one of the planners of the Hunger Plan.  He continued to hold his Ministerial positions in the government led by Karl Dönitz in the last days of World War II, from late April to May 1945, as according to Hitler's political will.  After the war officially ended, he was captured by the Allies together with the rest of the government, and was to face the Ministries Trial.  However, he hanged himself in his cell on 6 April 1947.
****The Hunger Plan (Germany’s term?) was economic management that was put in place to ensure that Germans had food supplies.  The fundamental premise behind the Hunger Plan was that Germany was not self-sufficient in food supplies during the war, and to sustain the war it needed to obtain the food from conquered lands.  (Every nation has numerous contingency plans for the variables of War.)
The Hunger Plan may have been made almost as soon as Hitler announced his intention to invade the Soviet Union in December 1940.  Certainly by May 2, 1941, it was in advanced stages of planning.  The lack of capacity of Russian railways, the inadequacy of road transport and the shortages of fuel, meant that the German Army would have to feed itself by taking food from the farms in Soviet Russia and Ukraine.  The plan concluded that the War could only be continued if the entire Wehrmacht would be fed from Russia in the third year of the war.  After WWI, the Allies blockaded defeated Germany and millions starved.  As the WWII wore on, Germans decreased their caloric intake and many ersatz foods were introduced.  The perceived grain riches of Ukraine were important to the vision of a self-sufficient Germany.  The Peoples of the conquered Soviet Union were to be forced to survive on less calories.  (Even Wikipedia admits): Nonetheless the Hunger Plan was never fully implemented.   However, the Germans were able to significantly supplement their grain stocks, particularly from the granaries in fertile Ukraine, and cut off the Soviets from them.  In late 1943 the Plan also bore another success for the Germans: German food supplies were stabilized.  In autumn 1943, for the first time since the war began, the food rations for German citizens — which had been cut several times before — were increased.
Göring remarked that the troops must significantly reduce their consuming of conserves.  (This is in contrast to the American soldiers who ate like royalty after the War, while German POW’s and civilians starved.)  To the Wehrmacht he addressed the reproach that in the area around Minsk there are still huge herds of cattle running around in the woods which cannot be collected due to the Soviet partisans.  The deployment of troops was absolutely necessary.
Contrary to the court historians, Leningrad citizens starved because it was under siege, not because of a Hunger Plan.  Their Soviet overlords could have surrendered.  Russian POW’s starved because of the huge numbers which had surrendered and Germany was not prepared to feed them.  Many though, died of disease from previous Soviet contagion and insufficient diet.

Aug 8, 1941 Massacre at Balta, Ukraine - Russians according to military statute dressed in German uniforms.  This operation was headed by future Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev.
Aug 14 - Roosevelt and Churchill announce the Atlantic Charter before the war.
The Atlantic Charter was drafted by Britain and the US, and later agreed to by all the Allies.  The Charter stated the ideal goals of the war: no territorial aggrandizement; no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people; restoration of self-government to those deprived of it; free access to raw materials; reduction of trade restrictions; global cooperation to secure better economic and social conditions for all; freedom from fear and want; freedom of the seas; and abandonment of the use of force, as well as disarmament of aggressor nations. At the subsequent meeting of the Inter-Allied Council in St. James' Palace in London on 9/24, 1941, the governments of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and representatives of General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French Forces, unanimously adopted adherence to the common principles of policy set forth in the Atlantic Charter.  In the "Declaration by United Nations" of 1/1, 1942, the Allies pledged adherence to the charter's principles.  The Charter set goals rather than a blueprint for the postwar world. It inspired many of the international agreements that shaped the world.  The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the post-war independence of European colonies, and much more are derived from the Atlantic Charter.
The Axis powers interpreted these diplomatic agreements as a potential alliance against them.  In Tokyo the Atlantic Charter rallied support for the militarists in the Japanese government, who pushed for a more aggressive approach against the US and Britain.  The British dropped millions of flysheets over Germany to allay fears of a punitive peace that would destroy the German state.  The text cited the Charter as the authoritative statement of the joint commitment of Great Britain and the U.S. "not to admit any economical discrimination of those defeated" and promised that "Germany and the other states can again achieve enduring peace and prosperity."
The problems came not from Germany and Japan, but from those of the allies that had empires and which resisted self-determination—especially Britain, the Soviet Union and the Netherlands.  Initially it appears that Roosevelt and Churchill had agree that the third point of Charter was not going to apply to Africa and Asia.  However Roosevelt's speechwriter Robert Sherwood noted that "it was not long before the people of India, Burma, Malaya, and Indonesia were beginning to ask if the Atlantic Charter extended also to the Pacific and to Asia in general."  With a war that could only be won with these allies, Roosevelt's solution was to put some pressure on Britain but to postpone until after the war the issue of self-determination of the colonies.  
Churchill rejected its universal applicability when it came to the self-determination of subject nations such as British India.  Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in 1942 wrote to President Roosevelt: "I venture to think that the Allied declaration that the Allies are fighting to make the world safe for the freedom of the individual and for democracy sounds hollow so long as India and for that matter Africa are exploited by Great Britain..."  Roosevelt repeatedly brought the need for Indian independence to Churchill's attention, but was repeatedly rebuffed.   India eventually ended up contributing significantly to the war effort, sending over 2.5 million men (the largest volunteer force in the world at the time) to fight for the Allies, mostly in West Asia and North Africa.
Poland - Churchill was unhappy with the inclusion of references to peoples' right to "self-determination" and stated that he considered the Charter an "interim and partial statement of war aims designed to reassure all countries of our righteous purpose and not the complete structure which we should build after the victory."  An office of the Polish Government in Exile wrote to warn Władysław Sikorski that if the Charter was implemented with regards to national self-determination, it would make the desired Polish annexation of Danzig, East Prussia and parts of German Silesia impossible, which led the Poles to approach Britain asking for a flexible interpretation of the Charter.
Baltic States - During the war Churchill argued for an interpretation of the charter in order to allow Russia to continue to control the Baltic states, an interpretation rejected by the U.S. until March 1944.

Aug 20 - German siege of Leningrad begins.
Sept 1 - Nazis order Jews to wear yellow stars as was common during much of the Middle Ages.  Others throughout West have worn one out of identity.  Max Baer the Jewish American boxer wears one on his trunks.
 (see 1941) Almost everywhere under Nazi rule Jews were forced to purchase and wear a six-pointed star of David whenever they appeared in public.  This did not prevent their nearly normal economic activity.  This was to point out to Germans, the possible enemy aliens in their midst.  The yellow or light blue star was worn on an armband or pinned on a shirt or coat.  This practice didn’t start until 1939 in certain regions and not codified until 9/1, 1941.
The Jewish badge began as local laws after WWII began in Sept 1939.  For instance, on November 16, 1939, the order for a Jewish badge was announced in Lodz.: “We are returning to the Middle Ages.  The yellow patch once again becomes a part of Jewish dress.  Today an order was announced that all Jews, no matter what age or sex, have to wear a band of "Jewish-yellow," 10 centimeters wide, on their right arm, just below the armpit.”  On 11/23, 1939, Hans Frank, the chief officer of the Government General, declared that all Jews above ten years of age were to wear a white badge with a Star of David on their right arm.  It wasn't until nearly two years later that a decree, issued on 9/1, 1941, issued badges to Jews within Germany as well as occupied and incorporated Poland. This badge was the yellow Star of David with the word "Jude" ("Jew") and worn on the left side of one's chest.
The badge made a distinction. One day there were just people on the street, and the next day, there were Jews and non-Jews. A common reaction was as Gertrud Scholtz-Klink's stated in her answer to the question, "What did you think when one day in 1941 you saw so many of your fellow Berliners appear with yellow stars on their coats?" Her answer, "I don't know how to say it. There were so many. I felt that my aesthetic sensibility was wounded."  All of a sudden, stars were everywhere, just like Hitler had said they were.
At first, many Jews felt humiliated at having to wear the badge.  As in Warsaw: “For many weeks the Jewish intelligentsia retired to voluntary house arrest.  Nobody dared to go out into the street with the stigma on his arm, and if compelled to do so, tried to sneak through without being noticed, in shame and in pain, with his eyes fixed to the ground.”  Posters often could be found at the exit doors of apartments that warned Jews by stating: "Remember the Badge!" Have you already put on the Badge?" "The Badge!" "Attention, the Badge!" "Before leaving the building, put on the Badge!"  Many Jews attempted to hide the badge.  When the badge was a white armband with a Star of David, men and women would wear white shirts or blouses.  When the badge was yellow and worn on the chest, Jews would carry objects and hold them in such a way as to cover their badge.  To make sure that Jews could be easily noticed, some local authorities added additional stars to be worn on the back and even on one knee.
Living life as usual, but with a badge: Weddings in the Netherlands, just like in Germany:

Rezā Shāh, (Pahlavi) (March 15, 1878 – July 26, 1944), was the Shah of Iran from December 15, 1925, until he was forced to abdicate by the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran on September 16, 1941 in favor of his son.  Tired of the opportunistic policies of both Britain and the Soviet Union, the Shah circumscribed contacts with foreign embassies.  To counterbalance British and Soviet influence, Reza Shah encouraged German commercial enterprise.  On the eve of World War II, Germany was Iran's largest trading partner.  With the accession of Adolf Hitler as state leader of Germany, Reza Shah starts building close economic and political ties to the country.  This aimed at reducing the British dominance in Iran.  Germany would become the most important trade partner of Iran.  Another hardworking area was the kind of solid alliance that Reza Shah’s cabinet tried to create with all of Iran’s neighbors, in particular Turkey and a confederation of Middle Eastern countries. Unfortunately, with the death of Kemal Atatürk and the start of the Second World War these projected were left to the post-war regeneration of the total life of that region.  Reza Shah also purchased ships from Italy and hired Italians to teach his troops the intricacies of naval warfare.  He also imported hundreds of German technicians and advisors for various projects.  His foreign policy, which had consisted essentially of playing the Soviet Union off against Great Britain, failed when those two powers joined in 1941 to fight the Germans. 
His Legacy included the Iranian Railway, Iranian treasury.  Creation of the first university in Iran.  Eradication of malaria.  Eradication of corruption in civil servants, paying wages in time so people didn't have to rely on bribes. Creation of schoolbooks; before Reza Shah the Islamic madreseh was the only form of schooling and the Koran the only widely available book. Creation of birth certificates for all Iranians.
His son was then controlled by the West and funded and aided by the CIA.
 Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavi, (10/26 1919 – 7/27 1980), ruled Iran from 9/16 1941 until his overthrow by the Iranian Revolution on 2/11 1979.   During his reign, the Iranian oil industry was nationalized under Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, and Iran marked the anniversary of 2,500 years of continuous monarchy since the founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great.  The Shah's White Revolution, a series of economic and social reforms intended to transform Iran into a global power, succeeded in modernizing the nation, nationalizing many natural resources, and extending suffrage to women.  The White Revolution was a far-reaching series of reforms launched in 1963.  Mohammad Reza Shah’s reform program was built especially to strengthen those classes that supported the traditional system.  Part of the reason for launching the White Revolution was that the Shah hoped to get rid of the landlords' influence and create a new base of support among the peasants and working class. In 1941–46 The British troops cause a famine and the consequent deaths of about nine million Iranians when supply routes from the Persian Gulf to Russia were cut.  British troops took seeds and food stocks from the people of Iran in order to support the Russians against the Germans.
The Second Quebec Conference (codenamed "OCTAGON") was a high-level military conference held by the British, Canadian and American governments.  The conference was held 9/12, 1944 – 9/16, 1944.  The chief representatives were Winston Churchill, William Lyon Mackenzie King and Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Agreements were reached on the following topics: Allied occupation zones in defeated Germany, the Morgenthau Plan, continued U.S. economic aid to the United Kingdom, and UK naval participation in the conflict against Japan. It helped the Allied powers devise a plan to win the war.  At the summit Morgenthau was asked to explain his plan to the British.  Churchill was horrified and called the plan "cruel and un-Christian." But Morgenthau hammered on the idea that the destruction of the Ruhr would create new markets for Britain after the war.  He also promised Churchill an American loan of $6.5 billion!  Churchill "changed his mind" the next morning.

 William Bernard Barry (7/21, 1902 – 10/20, 1946) served as Democrat Representative from New York from 11/5, 1935 to death.  In 1941, “the only two friends the United States has in the world are the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Sept 19 - Germans take Kiev.
September 25 Hitler speaks of extending Europe to the Ural Mountains and creating a human barrier against Asia. (Monologue im Fuehrerhauptquartier; Architect)
Sept 29, 1941 - Babi Yar, Kiev: some exterminationist historians say 250,000 Jews killed.  The fable has it that then the Germans dug them up and then burned the bodies as the Russians surrounded them.  There are no bodies or evidence of this mass of bodies.  In reality, Axis Ukrainians execute about 3,000 Communists (Jews) without German authority.  Many other bodies blamed on Germany or allies are the result of years of Ukrainians being executed by Jewish Commissars.  In August of 1946, there were 100,000 Jews living in Kiev.  This was before the rush of Jewish emigration from Soviet areas.
Oct 1, 1941 Majdanek Concentration Camp on the outskirts of Lublin, Poland.  The camp operated until July 22, 1944.  -Not open until after the War begins and 9 years after the Nazis get elected to majority power.  It is only now, after 9 years that Jews are added to the prison populations as potential enemies (like the Japanese, Germans and Italians in the US).  Nearly 150,000 Jews continue service in the armed forces and the majority of German Jews continue to survive in open society.  Rich Jews have left Germany.  The Jews here are primarily foreign Jews.  The War is fully engaged and Germany is getting firebombed.  This is no time to give comfort to potential Fifth Columnists.
Oct 2 - Operation Typhoon begins (German advance on Moscow).  Generals vie for glory and miss the larger picture.  Generals disagree with Hitler who wanted encirclement.  (This was a Dictator? Although Hitler had a bout with dysentery.)
Oct 16 - Germans take Odessa.  Oct 24 - Germans take Kharkov. Oct 30 - Germans reach Sevastopol.
 Erich Koch (6/19, 1896 – 11/12, 1986) was a Gauleiter of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in East Prussia from 1928 until 1945.  Between 1941 and 1945 he was the Reichskommissar in Ukraine from 1941 until 1943.  Koch was a professing Christian.   "I held the view that the Nazi idea had to develop from a basic Prussian-Protestant attitude and from Luther's unfinished Protestant Reformation".   Koch may have been ineffective coordinator as initial Ukrainian celebration of liberation devolved into dissatisfaction. 
 Hans Michael Frank (5/23, 1900 – 10/16, 1946) was a German lawyer who worked for the Nazi party.   From October 26, 1939, Frank was the Governor-General of the Polish General Government not directly incorporated into Germany (roughly half of what Germany had gained).
 Following the invasion of the USSR, Alfred Rosenberg (see 1930) was appointed head of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories.  Rosenberg had presented Hitler with his plan for the organization of the conquered Eastern territories, suggesting the establishment of new administrative districts, to replace the previously Soviet-controlled territories with new Reichskommissariats.  These would be:  Ostland (Baltic countries and Belarus), Ukraine (Ukraine and nearest territories), Kaukasus (Caucasia area), Moskau (Moscow metropolitan area and the rest of nearest Russian European areas)
Such suggestions were intended to encourage non-Russian nationalism and to promote German interests for the benefit of future Aryan generations, in accord with geopolitical "Lebensraum im Osten" plans.  They would provide a buffer against Soviet expansion in preparation for the total eradication of Communism and Bolshevism by decisive pre-emptive military action.   Rosenberg was appalled at the deterioration of occupation.  As Nazi Germany's chief racial theorist, Rosenberg considered Slavs, though ‘lesser’(backwards) than Germans, to be Aryan.  Rosenberg often complained to Hitler and Himmler about the treatment of non-Jewish occupied peoples.  Rosenberg "envisioned a system of Slavic satellite states under German suzerainty."
Anyone today can enjoy a good walk in the forest near the central Ukrainian town of Vinnitsa.   The peaceful woods were once the site of a top-secret and highly-guarded Nazi command center — the Werewolf bunker.”  It was a huge complex, which had everything Germany’s command could need.  There was an officer’s club, a sauna, a gym, a swimming pool and barracks.  Some sources claim it went seven floors underground.  Above the ground there were several wooden houses including a casino,” explained Svyatoslav Greben, director of the Museum of Glory in Vinnitsa.  Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of the bunker to control the Nazi war-effort on the Eastern Front.  It is believed the Nazi leader himself visited the bunker three times, with his personal swimming pool thought to be about the only thing to remain intact at the site.  The rest of the huge complex was destroyed in March 1944.
Roosevelt on 10/27, 1941, said he had come by a secret German map revealing a Nazi design to conquer South America.  Moreover, he had another Nazi document disclosing Hitler's intention "to abolish all existing religious."   These documents have never been produced, Roosevelt lied. 

 Oct 31, 1941 Through the Transfer Agreement, 537,000 Jews have emigrated from Germany, Austria and Bohemia since January 30, 1933.  Another 100,000 Jews immigrated illegally to Palestine between 1938 and 1948.
 A group of Gypsy prisoners, awaiting instructions from their German captors, sit in an open area near the fence in the Belzec. (November 1941 to December 1942)
When German General von Manstein’s army left the Krimea and the Ukraine, he left Jewish communities unmolested.  Propaganda reads that 10,000 Jews were killed in Simferopol, but reality was 300 mostly non-Jews.  Many Einsatzgruppen reports were exaggerated for officers’ glory.  They were killed as Red partisans, spies or as reprisals in consequence for terror activities.  US troops often did reprisals in Vietnam.
Propaganda: November Heydrich reports to the Foreign Ministry that a thirty-point program for a so-called neo-pagan "National Reich Church," circulated as a leaflet in Germany and attributed by Allied propaganda to Rosenberg, was actually written in 1937 by an eccentric from Stettin (G).  Heydrich attributes its reappearance to Catholic elements out to discredit the regime. (Lewy) (Note: William Shirer in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, accepted this leaflet as a genuine work by Rosenberg.)
Nov 13 - British aircraft carrier Ark Royal is sunk off Gibraltar by a U-boat.
November 17, 1941, Stalin issued Order no. 428  “All settlements occupied by German troops are to be set on fire, to a depth of 40 to 60 km behind the main front line and 20 to 30 km on both sides of the roads.  Air Force, Artillery and Partisan divisions groups equipped with bottles of fuel” were assigned to this task.  The order is even said to have contained the following sentence: “The search and destroy commandos shall carry on the destruction actions in the uniform of the German army and Waffen-SS.  Such actions incite hatred against the fascist occupiers and facilitate the recruitment of partisans in the backcountry.  At the same time, care should be taken to leave survivors to report on ‘German atrocities’".  20 to 30 “courageous fighters” were to be selected for these underground guerrilla groups, to be created in each regiment. “In particular, those who destroy settlements behind the German lines in German uniforms are to be nominated for the receipt of medals”, the order says.  The last sentence says: “The population must be told that the Germans burnt the villages and localities to punish the partisans”
German officers were not always able to prevent their soldiers from taking revenge.  The bitterness was too great.  What happens in a soldier who finds his comrades lying mutilated at the edge of a forest?  The pay book of every member of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS contained a document entitled “The 10 Commandments of the German Soldier”, which was learned by every recruit.  The third commandment stated: “No enemy who surrenders is to be killed, except for partisans or spies.  The latter are to receive a just punishment from the courts”.  These humane statements, which were entirely in conformity with international law and had been implemented in the campaigns until that time, were soon proven inadequate for the actual situation.
11/18 Rosenberg allegedly tells German journalists at a briefing "No Jew could remain on the continent to the Ural Mountains; they would be forced beyond the Urals.”
Nov 20 - Germans take Rostov.  Nov 27 - Soviet troops retake Rostov.
Nov 30 -"...the incontrovertible evidence is that Hitler ordered on November 30, 1941, that there was to be 'no liquidation of the Jews.'" (Hitler's War by David Irving, Viking  Press, N.Y. 1977)
Dec 5 - German attack on Moscow is abandoned.  Dec 6 - Soviet Army launches a major counter-offensive around Moscow.

“The Japanese peace overtures were remarkable, almost urgent.  Japan twice offered to get out of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis in return for peaceful arrangements with the United States.  In January, 1941, the Japanese suggested willingness to retire from their drive into China and southeast Asia as the price of peace with the United States.  In March, the Japanese ambassador in Washington began some forty fruitless conferences with Hull to secure a peaceful settlement with the United States.  In August, Prince Konoye, the Japanese prime minister, made the astonishing concession of agreeing to meet Roosevelt at any designated place to work out some method of preserving peace between the two countries.  He agreed to accept in advance, as the basis for negotiations, the four fundamental principles laid down by Hull in April, 1941, as an adequate basis for the settlement of Japanese-American relations.  Even after this amazing proposal was curtly turned down, the Japanese made remarkable overtures for peace in November, 1941, and sent Saburo Kurusu, well known as a friend of the United States and an expert on Japanese-American relations, to Washington to assist the Japanese ambassador in the negotiations.  Even when the Japanese fleet started for Pearl Harbor it had orders to turn back if the United States indicated any evidence of willingness substantially to modify Hull's ultimatum.  While Hull denounced the Japanese reply to his ultimatum on December 7th in very explosive and colorful language, it was actually a very moderate and reasonably accurate summary of Japanese-American relations, considering the source and the conditions of the moment.”

****Japan                           Japan                         Japan                         Japan
****The origins of the War with Japan, South African politician and noted banker, Stephen Goodson, explains the background as follows: “During the 1930s Japan rapidly expanded her industrial production, while the rest of the world, with the exception of National Socialist Germany, stagnated. By 1941 Japan had become the leading economic power in East Asia.  Her exports were steadily replacing those of America and England.  … Japan has very few natural resources, so what was the secret of her success?  In order to answer this question, it is necessary to return to the year 1929, when one of the twentieth century’s foremost monetary reformers, Major Clifford Hugh Douglas, went on a lecture tour of Japan. …Douglas’s economic theory advocated the transfer of the money creation process from private banks, which create money out of nothing as an interest-bearing debt, to the state.  This government created money he termed social credit.  He also favored the payment of a basic income or national dividend to each citizen.  This dividend would provide consumers with the additional buying power necessary to absorb all the current production of goods in a non-inflationary manner…..Much of the reorganization was implemented in 1932.  The reform of the central bank was completed in February 1942 when the Bank of Japan Law was remodeled on the Reichsbank Act of Germany of 1939.
In contrast to Japan, America had a private, mostly foreign owned central bank, the US Federal Reserve Bank.  Honorable Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency (1920-31) on June 10, 1932.  “This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government.  It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.”  According to McFadden, these 12 private credit monopolies were “deceitfully and disloyally” foisted on an unsuspecting public by foreign bankers, who in 1904 bankrolled Japan in her war with Russia.  In 1917, these international bankers “fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution”, which resulted in the “destruction of the Russian Empire”.  (In 1914 Russia was the most prosperous nation in the world. She had a small and declining foreign debt and no central bank.)
Both the Bank of Japan and the German Reichsbank with their systems of state creation of the money supply at zero interest – and the inevitability that those systems of finance would be replicated by other countries– posed such a serious threat to the private investors of the US Federal Reserve Bank, that a world war was deemed to be the only means of countering it.  In July 1941 all Japanese assets in England, Holland and America were frozen after Japan had peacefully occupied Indochina, with the permission of Vichy France, in order to block off China’s southern supply routes.  At the same time an oil embargo was enforced.  Without oil Japan could not survive.
 General Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister (October 1941 – July 1944) explains in his diary how the United States continually thwarted Japanese efforts at maintaining the peace.  Japan’s peaceful commercial relations were being persistently undermined by the USA and posed a grave threat to her future existence.  By means of the economic blockade a noose was being placed around Japan’s neck.  After numerous diplomatic initiatives including the offer of a summit on August 8, 1941 had failed, Japan was forced into attacking America in order to maintain her prosperity and secure her existence as a sovereign state.  (see 1948)
One of the first acts of the United States occupation forces in Japan in September 1945 was to restructure the Japanese banking system, so as to make it compliant with the norms of the international bankers i.e. usury.
Dec 7, 1941 - Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor; Roosevelt has foreknowledge.  Modern aircraft carriers were at sea, older battleships were left in port and fighter planes were cabled together under pretense of storm.  Japanese attack after US blockades much needed oil shipments.  The US had frozen Japanese bank accounts.  Japanese only plan to attack military installations, a couple of stray missiles hit civilians.  Japan also attacks the Philippines, Wake Island, Guam, Malaya, Thailand, Shanghai and Midway, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma.
US Military Conscription was passed back on Sept 16 1940.  Thus even though a high 90% of Americans had been against joining this European War, all of this ‘Greatest Generation’ rushed to join the military before being drafted so they could choose military branch and occupation.  Drafted soldiers have no option and usually become infantry “cannon fodder”.
 Oliver Lyttelton, 1st Viscount Chandos KG, PC, DSO, MC (3/15, 1893 – 1/21, 1972) was a British businessman who was brought into government during the Second World War, holding a number of ministerial posts.   He entered Winston Churchill's war coalition as President of the Board of Trade in 1940, a post he held until 1941, and then served as Minister of State in the Middle East from 1941 to 1942 and as Minister of Production from 1942 to 1945. June 20, 1944 to US Chamber of Commerce “Japan was provoked into attacking the US at Pearl Harbor.”
George Morgenstern, 1906-1988 wrote “Pearl Harbor: The Story of the Secret War” 1947.  He spent his career at McCormick's Chicago Tribune between 1941-1971. Pearl Harbor, was warmly received across the ideological spectrum, from socialist Norman Thomas, to anti-war liberals such as Profs. Beard and Barnes.  It was received favorably in the religious press from the Catholic World to the Protestant Christian Century and also the enthusiastic reception of Pearl Harbor by Admiral Harry E. Yarnell (1875-1959) who was active in the U.S. Navy service for many years, Commander of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet (1936-1939) and perhaps the inspiration for the Japanese attack of Dec. 7, 1941 on Oahu.  In the Hawaii war games in 1932 Adm. Yarnell took on the role of chief of the attacking forces.
Media purports that Hitler is behind Pearl Harbor.  Most (90%) US population was isolationist before this attack.
Hitler issues the Night and Fog decree.  Suspected underground agents, Communist agitators and other possible terrorists would now vanish without a trace into the night and fog of the death penalty or by taking measures which will leave the family and the population uncertain as to the fate of the offender.  Field Marshall Keitel issued a letter stating: "Efficient and enduring intimidation can only be achieved either by capital punishment or by measures by which the relatives of the criminals do not know the fate of the criminal.  The prisoners are, in future, to be transported to Germany secretly, and further treatment of the offenders will take place here; these measures will have a deterrent effect because -  A. The prisoners will vanish without a trace.  B. No information may be given as to their whereabouts or their fate."  The prisoners were mostly from France, Belgium and Holland.  They were usually arrested in the middle of the night and quickly taken to prisons hundreds of miles away for questioning and torture, eventually arriving at the concentration camps of Natzweiler or Gross-Rosen.  (Unlike America’s current war on terror, this was a real detention of radical Jewish Communist Extremists.)  Until 30 April 1944, at least 6,639 persons were captured under the Nacht und Nebel orders.  Some 340 of them may have been executed.  After initial humane interrogation, they were kept humanely in typical detention camps.  The Germans knew that 9/10’s of tortured confessions were lies.  They survived in normal ratios as other prisoners after Allied food blockades, typhus disease from allied blockades, and aerial bombings.
Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa declare war on Finland, Rumania, Hungary.  
Japan declares war on the US and British Empire.
Dec 8 - United States and Britain declare war on Japan.  Dec 11 - Germany does not declare war on the United States because of Tripartite Agreement.  Speech only clarifies facts.  Germany had never wanted war with the West, especially Britain and the US and continued to put out Peace iniatives which were rejected by the Allies. 
Canada, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Cuba, the Netherlands, Nertherlands Indies, China, South Africa, Australia, Free France declare war on Japan.  China declares war on Germany and Italy.
Japanese land near Singapore and enter Thailand.
Germany allied with Japan as the "Aryans of the East".  The original inhabitants of their islands were Caucasians who invented mankind’s earliest pottery around ten thousand years ago.  Known to archaeologists as the Jomon, they still exist today as the Ainu, a mixed Neolithic people residing mostly in Hokkaido.  Some twenty-two centuries ago, Chinese intellectuals fled en masse from a civil upheaval during the so-called "Period of Warring States", eventually settling in Japan, where they inter-bred with the Caucasoid Jomon natives.  Today’s Japanese are the offspring of ancient China’s cultural elite and indigenous Whites.  Hitler not only admired the Japanese for their inherent greatness, but recognized that they alone stood against the Communist take-over of Asia.  Here, too, he was more than correct: In destroying the Japanese Empire the US ensured the future Korean and Vietnamese Wars. 
Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz, USN (2/24, 1885 – 2/20, 1966) was a five-star admiral in the United States Navy.  He held the dual command of Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Fleet ("CinCPac" pronounced "sink-pack"), for U.S. naval forces and Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas (CinCPOA), for U.S. and Allied air, land, and sea forces during World War II.  He was the leading U.S. Navy authority on submarines, as well as Chief of the Navy's Bureau of Navigation in 1939.  He served as Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) from 1945 until 1947.  He was the United States' last surviving Fleet Admiral.

 1941 The American Council of Christian Churches (ACCC) was founded in 1941 under the leadership of Carl McIntire.  McIntire and others created a fundamentalist organization set up in opposition to the Federal Council of Churches (now National Council of Churches).  The ACCC motto is Jude 3: "Earnestly contending for the Faith".  Membership is by admittance by a 3/4 majority vote.  Agreement with the purposes and doctrinal statement are required and membership is specifically denied to those who have affiliations with: the World Council of Churches (WCC) or any of its affiliates, such as the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. (NCC), the World Evangelical Fellowship (WEF) or any of its affiliates, such as the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the modern Charismatic Movement, or the Ecumenical Movement...  Offices are in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.  The ACCC is the national equivalent of the International Council of Christian Churches.  In July 2007, the leadership of the ACCC issued a statement criticizing a recent declaration by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on the meaning of the phrase subsistit in which re-emphasized the role of the Catholic Church as the subsisting Church of Christ.

The United Service Organizations Inc. (USO) is a nonprofit organization that provides programs, services and live entertainment to US troops and their families.  Since 1941, it has worked in partnership with the Department of Defense (DOD), relying heavily on private contributions and on funds, goods, and services from various corporate and individual donors.  Although congressionally chartered, it is not a government agency.  The USO operates 160 centers worldwide.  After it was disbanded in 1947, it was revived in 1950 for the Korean War, after which it also provided peacetime services.  During the Vietnam War, USOs were sometimes located in combat zones.  The organization became particularly famous for its live performances called Camp Shows, through which the entertainment industry helped boost the morale of its servicemen and women. Hollywood in general was eager to show its patriotism, and many famous celebrities joined the ranks of USO entertainers.  They entertained in military bases at home and overseas, sometimes placing their own lives in danger, by traveling or performing under hazardous conditions.  Today the USO has over 160 locations around the world in 14 countries (including the U.S.) and 27 states. In 2011, USO centers served 8 million visitors.
The USO was founded in 1941 in response to a request from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to provide morale and recreation services to U.S. uniformed military personnel.  Roosevelt was elected as its honorary chairman.  This request brought together six civilian organizations: the Salvation Army, Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), National Catholic Community Service, National Travelers Aid Association and the National Jewish Welfare Board.  They were brought together under one umbrella to support U.S. troops. Roosevelt said he wanted "these private organizations to handle the on-leave recreation of the men in the armed forces."  According to historian Emily Yellin, "The government was to build the buildings and the USO was to raise private funds to carry out its main mission: boosting the morale of the military."  The sixty-six USO (United Services Organizations) shows in the theater on V-E Day played to three-quarters of a million men a month.  Jeep Shows and Soldier Shows, using Army personnel, provided additional live entertainment.  An estimated eight out of every ten soldiers saw at least three movies a week.  To provide active and passive diversions, USFET Special Services stocked 21,000 basketballs, 100,000 dozen table tennis balls, and nearly 350,000 decks of cards and issued, by November 1945, 1443 libraries (each containing 1,000 cloth-bound books), close to 15 million paperback books, and over 44 million magazines.  The most popular spectator sport was football.
The Germans had started their version in 1935. 
The Klatt (Jewish) Network, was the name of an Abwehr-run German network established in Sofia to receive intelligence reports about Soviet troop dispositions on the Eastern front and British dispositions in the Middle East.  The existence of this network was revealed to the British in the winter of 1941-1942 by ISOS reports of intercepted Abwehr communications, but the source of the intelligence that the Klatt network was receiving was unclear.  Intercepted British and Russian radio communications were ruled out as the source after an investigation, and it seemed that the Max reports of Russian intelligence might be sourced from a large clandestine network of German spies behind Russian lines.  There were no clues as to the source of Moritz reports on British movements.
Two theories have developed as to the source of these reports.  One, supported by these files, holds that the intelligence supplied to the Klatt network was disinformation run by the Soviets through penetration of White Russian circles which supplied information to the Klatt network.  An alternative view, drawing on the value that the Germans placed on the sources and the cost in human terms to the Soviets of the information gathered by the Abwehr through the Klatt network, asserts that Kauder and his associates in the Klatt network concocted the intelligence for financial gain.
Richard Kauder was the leader.  Kauder's main sources were Ira Longin and General Turkul.  While some commentators believe Kauder fabricated his intelligence for financial gain, the view expressed in these files is that Longin and Turkul were under Soviet control and were used to feed disinformation to the Abwehr.  General Anton Turkul was the leader of a group of White Russians.  Other figures involved either on the German or the Russian side with the network were Joseph and Greta Hirsch, Pedro Prat y Soutzo, Hugo Kittel, Vladimir Velkotny, George Romanoff and Nikolaus Kowaleski.
“Stalin's Secret War: Soviet Counterintelligence Against the Nazis, 1941-1945” by Robert S. Stephan (10/1, 2011)  The Soviet-German War of 1941-1945 was the most extensive intelligence/counterintelligence war in modern history, involving the capture, torture, deportation, execution, and "doubling" of tens of thousands of agents--most of them Soviet citizens.  While Russian armies fought furiously to defeat the Wehrmacht, Stalin's security services waged an equally ruthless secret war against Hitler's spies, as well as against the Soviet population.  Employing as many as 150,000 trained agents across a 2,400-mile front, the Soviets neutralized the majority of the more than 40,000 German agents deployed against them.  Their combination of Soviet military deception operations and State Security's defeat of the Abwehr's human intelligence effort had devastating consequences for the German Army in every major battle against the Red army, including Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, the Belorussian offensive, and the Vistula-Oder operation.  Simultaneously, Soviet State Security continued to penetrate the world's major intelligence services including those of its allies, terrorize its own citizens to prevent spying, desertion, and real or perceived opposition to the regime, and run millions of informants, making the USSR a vast prison covering one sixth of the world's surface.  Stephan discusses all facets of the Soviet counterintelligence effort, including the major Soviet "radio games" used to mislead the Germans--operations Monastery, Berezino, and those that defeated Himmler's Operation Zeppelin.  He also gives the most comprehensive account to date of the Abwehr's infamous agent "Max," whose organization allegedly ran an entire network of agents inside the USSR, and reveals the reasons for Germany's catastrophic under-estimation of Soviet forces by more than one million men during their 1944 summer offensive in Belorussia.
 Carl McIntire (5/17, 1906 – 3/19, 2002) was a founder and minister in the Bible Presbyterian Church, founder and long president of the International Council of Christian Churches and the American Council of Christian Churches, and a popular religious radio broadcaster, who proudly identified himself as a fundamentalist.  In 1933, he was called to the Presbyterian Church of Collingswood, New Jersey and in 1937 formed the Bible Presbyterian Church, which emphasized Fundamentalist distinctives in contrast to continental Reformed traditions, supporting political involvement, the Scofield Reference Bible, a premillennialist view of eschatology, and abstinence from the use of tobacco and alcohol.  In February 1936, McIntire launched a weekly newspaper, The Christian Beacon. In March 1955, McIntire initiated a daily thirty-minute radio program, "The Twentieth Century Reformation Hour," which featured McIntire's commentary on religious and political affairs.  In 1941, he helped create the American Council of Christian Churches (ACCC) as a conservative alternative to the liberal Federal (later, National) Council of Churches (NCC).  In 1948, he likewise helped to found the International Council of Christian Churches (ICCC) to challenge the World Council of Churches (WCC).  McIntire was elected first President of the ICCC and was reelected at each World Congress until he died.  Before and during World War II, McIntire opposed Nazi totalitarianism and anti-semitism, and afterwards he became a champion of anti-Communism.
 Robert Gilbert Vansittart, 1st Baron Vansittart GCB, GCMG, PC, MVO (6/25, 1881 – 2/14, 1957) was a senior British diplomat in the prior and during WWII.  He is best remembered for his opposition to Appeasement and his hardline stance towards Germany.  Vansittart was also a published poet, novelist, and playwright.  Vansittart was suspicious of Hitler from the start; anything Hitler said, he claimed, was "for foreign consumption".  He thought Hitler would start another European war as soon as he "felt strong enough".  Vansittart supported revising the Versailles Treaty in Germany's favor but not while Hitler was in power.  In Vansittart's view, Britain should be firm with Germany, and an alliance between France and the Soviet Union against Germany was essential.  Vansittart also urgently advocated rearmament.  Yet, Vansittart favored facilitating German expansion in Africa.  He thought that Hitler was exploiting fears of a "Bolshevist menace" as a cover for "expansion in Central and South-Eastern Europe".
Like Sir Maurice Hankey, Vansittart thought in power politics terms. He thought Hitler could not decide whether to follow Goebbels and Tirpitz in viewing Britain as "the ultimate enemy" or on the other hand adopting the Ribbentrop policy of appeasing Britain in order to engage in military expansion in the East.  Vansittart thought that in either case time should be "bought for rearmament" by an economic agreement with Germany and by appeasing "genuine grievance[s]" about colonies.  Vansittart wanted to detach Mussolini from Hitler.  He thought that the British Empire was an "Incubus" and that the Continent was the central British national interest, but he doubted whether agreement could be had there.  This doubt rested on his fear that German attention, if turned eastwards, would result in a military empire between the Baltic, the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea.
In 1940, Vansittart sued the American historian Harry Elmer Barnes for libel for an article Barnes had written in 1939 accusing Vansittart of plotting aggression against Germany in 1939.  During the war, Vansittart became a prominent advocate of an extremely hard line with Germany.  His earlier worries about Germany were reformulated into an argument that Germany was intrinsically militaristic and aggressive.  In Black Record: Germans Past and Present (1941), Vansittart portrayed German history from the time of ancient Rome as a continuous record of aggression.  Nazism was just the latest manifestation.  Therefore, after Germany was defeated, it must be stripped of all military capacity, including its heavy industries. The German people enthusiastically supported Hitler's wars of aggression, just as they supported the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 and the First World War in 1914.  So they must be thoroughly re-educated under strict Allied supervision for at least a generation.  De-Nazification was not enough.  The German military elite was the real cause of war, especially the "Prussianist" officer corps and the General Staff: both must be destroyed.  In 1943 he wrote: “In the opinion of the author, it is an illusion to differentiate between the German right, center, or left, or the German Catholics or Protestants, or the German workers or capitalists.  They are all alike, and the only hope for a peaceful Europe is a crushing and violent military defeat followed by a couple of generations of re-education controlled by the United Nations.”  Also: “We didn't go to war in 1939 to save Germany from Hitler...or the continent from fascism.  Like in 1914 we went to war for the not lesser noble cause that we couldn't accept a German hegemony over Europe.”

 William Montgomery McGovern (9/28, 1897 – 12/12, 1964) was an American adventurer, Northwestern University professor, anthropologist and journalist. He was possibly an inspiration for the character of Indiana Jones.  McGovern's life may be more incredible than the fictional character he spawned.  By age 30, he had already explored the Amazon and braved uncharted regions of the Himalayas, survived revolution in Mexico, studied at Oxford and the Sorbonne and become a Buddhist priest in a Japanese monastery.  He became a beloved lecturer, war correspondent and military strategist.  McGovern joined the US Naval Reserve, serving from 1941 to 1945.  At Guadalcanal, he operated behind enemy lines, using his knowledge of Japanese to taunt enemy soldiers and interrogate captives.  In the closing days of the war he served in the European Theatre, crossing the Rhine with General Patton.  His most important job was not martial in nature however. Throughout the war he would rise at 5:30 AM to prepare a top-secret newspaper on enemy capabilities and intentions. This paper was considered required breakfast reading for President Roosevelt and the Joint Chiefs.  From Luther to Hitler: The History of Fascist-Nazi Political Philosophy” (1941)
