Was Hitler Really Wanted Peace with Britain?
The answer was Hitler not really wanted peace with Britain. He
wanted to invade her but the British airpowers defeated his both
airpowers and naval powers which made long time recover. British
used radar-technology to made her warplanes easily found the
Hitler's warplanes and shot them down. And their fighterplanes
attacked back with bombed the Hitler's ports, ships, and
headquarters which used for preparation to invade Britain on
French-occupied territory. And also Hitler's naval powers not
yet to match the Britain's naval power during that time which
made invasion of Britain harder during 1940. See this

[quote]...fortunately for posterity and the truth, the
mountainous secret German military files leave no doubt that
Hitler’s plan to invade Britain in the early fall of 1940 was
deadly serious and that, though given to many hesitations,
the Nazi dictator seriously intended to carry it out if there
were any reasonable chance of success. Its ultimate fate was
settled not by any lack of determination or effort but by the
fortunes of war, which now, for the first time, began to turn
against him.[/quote]
(Page 762)
[quote]...the Naval War Staff had estimated that to fulfill the
demands of the Army for landing 100,000 men with equipment and
supplies in the first wave, along a 200-mile front from amsgate
to Lyme Bay, would necessitate rounding up 1,722 barges, 1,161
motorboats, 471 tugs and 155 transports. Even if it were
possible to assemble such a vast amount of shipping, Raeder told
Hitler on July 25, it would wreck the German economy, since
taking away so many barges and tugs would destroy the whole
inland-waterway transportation system, on which the economic
life of the country largely depended.16 At any rate, Raeder
made it clear, the protection of such an armada trying to supply
such a broad front against the certain attacks of the British
Navy and Air Force was beyond the powers of the German naval
forces.[/quote]
(page 766)
[quote]British light naval forces bombarded the chief Channel
invasion ports, Ostend,Calais, Boulogne and Cherbourg, while the
R.A.F. sank eighty barges in Ostend Harbor. In Berlin that day
Hitler conferred with his service chiefs at lunch. He thought
the air war was going very well and declared that he had no
intention of running the risk of invasion.24 In fact, Jodl got
the impression from the Fuehrer’s remarks that he had
“apparently decided to abandon Sea Lion completely,” an
impression which was accurate for that day, as Hitler confirmed
the following day — when, however, he again changed his
mind.[/quote]
(page 770)
...
[quote]...two hundred German bombers, escorted by three
times as many fighters, appeared over the Channel about
midday, headed for London. Fighter Command had watched the
assembling of the attackers on its radar screens and was ready.
The Germans were intercepted before they approached the
capital, and though some planes got through, many were
dispersed and others shot down before they could deliver their
bomb load. Two hours later an even stronger German formation
returned and was routed. Though the British claimed to have shot
down 185 Luftwaffeplanes, the actual figure, as learned after
the war from the Berlin archives, was much lower — fifty-six,
but thirty-four of these were bombers. The R.A.F. lost only
twenty-six aircraft.
...
The German Navy, crippled by the losses off Norway in the early
spring, was unable, as its chiefs admitted all along, to provide
the sea power for an invasion of Britain. Without this, and
without air supremacy, the German Army was helpless to move
across the narrow Channel waters. For the first time in the war
Hitler had been stopped, his plans of further conquest
frustrated, and just at the moment, as we have seen, when he was
certain that final victory had been achieved He had never
conceived — nor had anyone else up to that time — that a
decisive battle could be decided in the air. Nor perhaps did he
yet realize as the dark winter settled over Europe that a
handful of British fighter pilots, by thwarting his invasion,
had preserved England as a great base for the possible
reconquest of the Continent from the west at a later date. His
thoughts were perforce turning elsewhere; in fact, as we shall
see,had already turned[/quote]
(page 781 - 782)
What if Hitler's soldiers successfully invade Britain? See this
information below.
[quote]The Nazi German occupation of Britain would not
have been a gentle affair. The captured German papers
leave no doubt of that. On September 9 Brauchitsch, the
Commander in Chief of the Army, signed a directive
providing that “the able-bodied male population between
the ages of seventeen and forty-five [in Britain] will,
unless the local situation calls for an exceptional
ruling, be interned and dispatched to the Continent.”
Orders to this effect were sent out a few days later
by the Quartermaster General, in OKH, to the Ninth and
Sixteenth armies, which were assembled for the invasion.
In no other conquered country, not even in Poland, had
the Germans begun with such a drastic step. Brauchitsch’s
instructions were headed “Orders Concerning the
Organization and Function of Military Government in
England” and went into considerable detail. They seem
designed to ensure the systematic plunder of the island
and the terrorization of its inhabitants. A special
“Military Economic Staff England” was set up on July 27
to achieve the first aim. Everything but normal household
stocks was to be confiscated at once. Hostages would be
taken. Anybody posting a placard the Germans didn’t like
would be liable to immediate execution, and a similar
penalty was provided for those who failed to turn in
firearms or radio sets within twenty four hours.
Actually, already in August Heydrich had organized six
[color=red]Einsatzkommando for Britain which were to
operate from headquarters in London, Bristol, Birmingham,
Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh — or in Glasgow, if
the Forth Bridge was found blown up. They were to
carry out Nazi terror;[/color] to begin with, they were
to arrest all those on the “Special Search List, G.B.
[Great Britain],” which in May had been hurriedly and
care- lessly compiled by Walter Schellenberg, another one
of Himmler’s bright young university graduates, who was
then chief of Amt (Bureau) IV E— Counterespionage — of
R.S.H.A. Or so Schellenberg later claimed, though at this
time he was mainly occupied in Lisbon, Portugal, on a
bizarre mission to kidnap the Duke of Windsor. [/quote]
(Page 783)
...
[quote]This Nazi Black Book actually formed a supplement
to a supposedly highly secret handbook called
Informationsheft, which Schellenberg also claims to have
written, and whose purpose seems to have been to aid
the conquerors in looting Britain and stamping out
anti-German institutions there. It is even more amusing
than the Search List. Among the dangerous institutions,
besides the Masonic lodges and Jewish organizations, which
deserved “special attention” by R.S.H.A., were the
“public schools” (in England, the private schools), the
Church of England, which was described as “a powerful
tool of British imperial politics,” and the Boy Scouts,
which was put down as “an excellent source of
information for the British Intelligence Service.” Its
revered leader and founder, Lord Baden Powell, was to be
immediately arrested. [/quote]
(Page 784)
Another information about how the British people will got
treated if Hitler succeed on invade Britain. See this
information below.
[quote]The Nazis also had plans for the deportation and
enslavement of 50% of Britain's adult male population in the
event of a successful invasion.[26][/quote]

The Unspeakable Things The Bolsheviks Did During Their Reign
[quote]Few words in 20th century history have been as
complicated as ‘Bolshevik.’ The Bolsheviks were a splinter group
of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party and became a
formal party in 1912. They were avowed Marxists and
revolutionaries who spearheaded the Russian Revolution in 1917,
toppling the Tsar and giving rise to the Soviet Union. They
would later rename themselves as the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, although the Bolshevik nickname still stuck. For
decades, the Bolsheviks ruled one of the most powerful countries
on earth, endured a World War, and became locked in a
decades-long ideological stand-off with the Capitalist world.
The Bolsheviks fell in 1991, and the USSR along with them, but
in the years since, the legacy of their rule has been
increasingly scrutinized. How much did the rosy propaganda of
the USSR align with reality? What truths were revealed when the
archives were opened? What diabolical things did the Bolsheviks
do during the reign?
Today, we explore the dark deeds of the ruling party of the
Soviet Union. If you enjoy videos like this and want to see
more, click that like button and don’t forget to subscribe.
Origins
From the outset, the Bolsheviks were possessed by ideology. They
preached a form of revolutionary Marxism that scorned private
property and land ownership. They detested capitalism,
monarchism, nationalism, and religion as tools of powerful
groups to control the masses and instead believed that all of
these things should be overthrown and replaced with a system of
collective ownership for the benefit of the workers. The ideal
Bolshevik future was one where everyone was equal in wealth and
legal status, living in a world free from poverty, war, and
oppression. It was an inspiring vision that had long appealed to
many and continues to inspire people today. Advanced by
articulate and intelligent thinkers, most notably Vladimir
Lenin, Soviet-style Marxism gained traction in the early years
of the 20th century.
However noble its goals may have been, even in these early
years, the Bolsheviks showed that they were perfectly willing to
sacrifice human lives on the altar of their ideology. For
example, one of the ways that the Bolsheviks raised money in the
1900s was through robbery. This robbery often harmed the very
people the Bolsheviks claimed to be protecting. In June 1907, in
the Georgian city of Tiflis, a group of Bolsheviks ambushed a
shipment of cash in the town’s Erivansky Square with firearms
and explosives. In the ensuing violence, around 40 people were
killed, many of them civilians. The robbery caused mass outrage
against the Bolsheviks and many of the Bolsheviks leaders
involved in the robbery, most notably Lenin and Stalin, later
attempted to cover up their associations with the event. In the
grand scheme of history, 40 deaths would be a mere drop in the
ocean of what the Bolshevik would go on to do, but it was a
chilling forewarning of what was to come.
By 1917, the memory of the robbery had faded. The Bolsheviks had
become a potent force for Marxist revolution amidst a Russia
locked in the grueling First World War. It was the Bolsheviks
that lit the revolutionary spark that burned down the Tsarist
regime in 1917 and eventually inaugurated the Russian Soviet
Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). It was the first
socialist state in history and it would be christened in blood.
In July 1918, the deposed Tsar Nicholas II along with his
family, including his 13 year old son, were executed by
Bolshevik forces in an act that remains deeply controversial to
this day. The Russian Civil War erupted as countless factions
sought to oppose the new regime

falling to Bolshevism. Had it been left up to the other "white"
Western colonial powers they would all have fallen to Bolshevism
one by one...

[quote]A member of the same Virginia school board that came
under fire for withholding information about students'
scholarships has raised eyebrows by saying the Battle of Iwo
Jima, a major US victory against the Japan in World War II, was
'evil' and should not have happened.
The comments were made Thursday by Fairfax County board member
Abrar Omeish, 28, in reference to the Day of Remembrance, a day
of observance for the internment of Japanese Americans during
World War II. The holiday occurs on the same calendar day as
the first US landings on the island of Iwo Jima on February 19,
1945.
Lasting more than a month from February 19 to March 26 of 1945,
the battle for the island of Iwo Jima is one of the most famous
in the history of the Marine Corps. Nearly 7,000 U.S. Marines
from the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions died trying to wrest
control of the island from Japan's Imperial Army of Japan.
Already inciting outrage, the remarks serve are not the first
time the 28-year-old board member has come under scrutiny.
Elected into office in 2019 at just 24, the Muslim official also
has a history of anti-Israel rhetoric, and has candidly said
that the district's admissions policy has an anti-Asian bias.
...
In May of 2021, a series of anti-Israel social media posts made
by the school board member came to light, in which she labeled
Israel an 'apartheid' state that 'kills Palestinians.'
Then, late last year, as the school district faced a federal
class action suit For violating disabled students' rights,
private text messages revealed Omeish also acknowledged
anti-Asian bias in the admissions process for
'I mean there has been an anti asian feel underlying some of
this, hate to say it lol,' Omeish texted a fellow board member
in fall of 2020. 'They're discriminated against in this process
too.'[/quote]
Anyone in the US proud of the Battle of Iwojima is a Western
occupier, not an American:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Iwo_Jima
[quote]Overwhelming American superiority in numbers and arms as
well as air supremacy, coupled with the impossibility of
Japanese retreat or reinforcement, sparse food and supplies,
permitted no plausible circumstance in which the Japanese could
have won the battle.[13]
The action was controversial, with retired Chief of Naval
Operations William V. Pratt stating that the island was useless
to the Army as a staging base and useless to the Navy as a fleet
base.[14][/quote]
In short, they just wanted to kill "non-whites" for the sake of
killing "non-whites".
[quote]Starting on 15 June 1944, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army
Air Forces began naval bombardments and air raids against Iwo
Jima, which would become the longest and most intense in the
Pacific Theater.[23] They would contain a combination of naval
artillery shellings and aerial bombings that went on for nine
months.
...
One of the technological innovations of the battle, the eight
Sherman M4A3R3 medium tanks equipped with a flamethrower
("Ronson" or "Zippo" tanks), proved very effective at clearing
Japanese positions. The Shermans were difficult to disable, such
that defenders were often compelled to assault them in the open,
where they would fall victim to the superior numbers of
Marines.[31]
...
For three months, the 147th slogged across the island, using
flamethrowers, grenades, and satchel charges to dig out the
enemy, killing some 1,602 Japanese soldiers in small unit
actions (along with many others who died in sealed caves) while
suffering fifteen men killed in action and another 144 wounded.
...
The United States M2 flamethrower was heavily used in the
Pacific. It features two tanks containing fuel and compressed
gas respectively, which are combined and ignited to produce a
stream of flaming liquid out of the tip.[52]
These flamethrowers were used to kill Japanese holed into
pillboxes, buildings and caves.[/quote]

something to be proud of? Answer:

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima (Japanese:

Stars and Stripes on Iō Tō') is an iconic photograph
of six United States Marines raising the U.S. flag atop Mount
Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in the final stages of
the Pacific War. The photograph, taken by Joe Rosenthal of the
Associated Press on February 23, 1945, was first published in
Sunday newspapers two days later and reprinted in thousands of
publications. It was the only photograph to win the Pulitzer
Prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and
was later used for the construction of the Marine Corps War
Memorial in 1954, which was dedicated to honor all Marines who
died in service since 1775. The memorial, sculpted by Felix de
Weldon, is located in Arlington Ridge Park,[1] near the
Ord-Weitzel Gate to Arlington National Cemetery and the
Netherlands Carillon. The photograph has come to be regarded in
the United States as one of the most significant and
recognizable images of World War II.[/quote]

[quote][...]For the past 90 years, however, the symbol has
become infamous and taboo in some parts of the world. Despite an
entire lifetime passing since the end of WWII, the swastika
remains illegal in many nations in the Western world. Ignorance
has crept in and the general public now understands very little
of the history and meaning of the swastika. Even worse,
professional academics in the US and EU have done little to
correct this ignorance and often attempt to impose their fear
and hatred of the swastika onto non-Western cultures instead...
In contrast, for billions of people living in non-Western
nations the swastika has retained its popularity and meaning as
a positive and sometimes sacred symbol. For example, the
swastika (manji) has even become a popular slang referring to
current Japanese youth culture! Yet, it remains taboo in the
English-speaking world and other areas where post-WWII Western
culture has been influential, due to its abuse by Neo-Nazis and
other toxic tribalists.
It is time to take back the swastika from racists. Through this
series of articles demonstrating the worldwide use and ancient
history of the swastika, we will reclaim it as an authentically

How many times have you heard False Leftists mock National
Socialism for labelling dangerous trends in physics as "Jewish
physics"?
First of all, it wasn't even the National Socialists who started
this, and the movement didn't gain much momentum. It seems to
have been abandoned after Himmler's mother told him to be nicer
to physicists? LOL.
[quote]This movement began as an extension of a German
nationalistic movement in the physics community which went back
as far as World War I.
[...]
During the early years of the twentieth century, Albert
Einstein's Theory of Relativity caused bitter controversy within
the worldwide physics community. There were many physicists,
especially the "old guard", who were suspicious of the intuitive
meanings of Einstein's theories.
[...]
When the Nazis entered the political scene, Lenard quickly
attempted to ally himself with them, joining the party at an
early stage. With another physics Nobel laureate, Johannes
Stark, Lenard began a core campaign to label Einstein's
Relativity as Jewish Physics.
[...]
The figureheads of "Aryan Physics" met with moderate success,
but the support from the Nazi Party was not as great as Lenard
and Stark would have preferred.
[...]
In a historic moment, Heisenberg's mother rang Himmler's mother
and asked her if she would please tell the SS to give "Werner" a
break. After beginning a full character evaluation, which
Heisenberg both instigated and passed, Himmler forbade further
attack on the physicist. Heisenberg would later employ his
"Jewish physics" in the German project to develop nuclear
fission for the purposes of nuclear weapons or nuclear energy
use. Himmler promised Heisenberg that after Germany won the war,
the SS would finance a physics institute to be directed by
Heisenberg.[11]
Lenard began to play less and less of a role, and soon Stark ran
into even more difficulty, as other scientists and
industrialists known for being exceptionally "Aryan" came to the
defense of Relativity and quantum mechanics. As historian Mark
Walker puts it, "despite his best efforts, in the end his
science was not accepted, supported, or used by the Third Reich.
Stark spent a great deal of his time during the Third Reich
fighting with bureaucrats within the National Socialist state.
Most of the National Socialist leadership either never supported
Lenard and Stark, or abandoned them in the course of the Third
Reich."[/quote]

Secondly, it turns out the Soviets went much farther with their
ideological rejection of empirical sciences. Even genetics was
considered "Bourgeois pseudoscience", rather than acceptable
"proletarian science". It seems the Soviets also rejected the
study of dangerous trends in physics, at least initially.
They even banned sociology, which should once and for all prove
that "critical theory", "wokeism", or whatever are not
"communist".
[quote]Bourgeois pseudoscience (Russian:
Буржуазна&
#1103;
лженаука) was a
term of condemnation in the Soviet Union for certain scientific
disciplines that were deemed unacceptable from an ideological
point of view[1][2] due to their incompatibility with
Marxism–Leninism. For example, genetics was not acceptable due
to the role of random mutations of an individual organism in
evolution, which was perceived as incompatible with the
"universal laws of history" that applied to masses universally,
as postulated by the Marxist ideology.[3] At various times
pronounced "bourgeois pseudosciences" were: genetics,[notes 1]
cybernetics, quantum physics, theory of relativity, sociology
and particular directions in comparative linguistics (Japhetic
theory). This attitude was most prevalent during the rule of
Joseph Stalin.
Notably, the term was not used by Stalin himself, who rejected
the notion that science can have a class nature. Stalin removed
all mention of “bourgeois biology” from Trofim Lysenko’s report,
The State of Biology in the Soviet Union, and in the margin next
to the statement that “any science is based on class” Stalin
wrote, “Ha-ha-ha!! And what about mathematics? Or Darwinism?”[4]
The term was mostly used by Stalinist philosophers, such as Mark
Moisevich Rosenthal and Pavel Yudin, who use it in the 1951 and
1954 editions of their Short Philosophical Dictionary: "Eugenics
is a bourgeois pseudoscience",[5] "Weismannism-Morganism -
bourgeois pseudoscience, designed to justify capitalism".[6]
Psychology was declared "bourgeois pseudoscience" in People's
Republic of China during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).[7]
Sociology was banned in PRC in 1952,[8] and it remained banned
for over 30 years.[9][/quote]

with historical materialism. These tests served as a cover for
political suppression of scientists who engaged in research
labeled as "idealistic" or "bourgeois".[1][/quote]

On a slight tangent, it seems vocabulary may have come to a
point where we shouldn't necessarily reject the term "historical
revisionism". I remember Holocaust investigators of all
ideological backgrounds being branded negatively as
"revisionists" multiple decades ago, then a decade ago I
remember Wikipedia distinguishing between "negative revisionism"
and "positive revisionism". Now it's describing "revisionism" as
a purely positive thing (and claiming it was solely Holocaust
investigators who self-labelled as "historical revisionists",
which itself is a distortion of history when so many used that
as a negative term against them, lol):
[quote]In historiography, historical revisionism is the
reinterpretation of a historical account.[1] It usually involves
challenging the orthodox (established, accepted or traditional)
views held by professional scholars about a historical event or
timespan or phenomenon, introducing contrary evidence, or
reinterpreting the motivations and decisions of the people
involved. The revision of the historical record can reflect new
discoveries of fact, evidence, and interpretation, which then
results in revised history. In dramatic cases, revisionism
involves a reversal of older moral judgments.
At a basic level, legitimate historical revisionism is a common
and not especially controversial process of developing and
refining the writing of histories.

The historian Deborah Lipstadt (Denying the Holocaust: The
Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, 1993), and the historians
Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman (Denying History: Who Says the
Holocaust Never Happened and Why Do They Say It?, 2002),
distinguish between historical revisionism and historical
negationism, the latter of which is a form of denialism.
Lipstadt said that Holocaust deniers, such as Harry Elmer
Barnes, disingenuously self-identify as "historical
revisionists" in order to obscure their denialism as academic
revision of the historical record.
As such, Lipstadt, Shermer, and Grobman said that legitimate
historical revisionism entails the refinement of existing
knowledge about an historical event, not a denial of the event,
itself; that such refinement of history emerges from the
examination of new, empirical evidence, and a re-examination,
and consequent re-interpretation of the existing documentary
evidence.[/quote]

On the other hand, the idea that the distortion of history is a
"negation" or "denial" doesn't really capture the idea that
politically-motivated distortions of history can be a narrative
which lies by omission (e.g. through double standards by placing
undue emphasis on certain events), or even a narrative which
agrees upon all the commonly-accepted facts but comes to a
different moral conclusion.
[quote]Historical negationism,[1][2] also called denialism, is
falsification[3][4] or distortion of the historical record.
[...]
The term negationism (négationnisme) was first coined by the
French historian Henry Rousso in his 1987 book The Vichy
Syndrome which looked at the French popular memory of Vichy
France and the French Resistance. Rousso posited that it was
necessary to distinguish between legitimate historical
revisionism in Holocaust studies and politically motivated
denial of the Holocaust, which he termed
negationism.[12][/quote]

Just some food for thought.
