Soldiers and civilians celebrating in May 1945, London. After the most brutal war in history. Little did they know their leader was concocting plans to start World War 3.
R S Ahthion —
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]s the great industrial slaughter of human beings that was World War 2 came to an end and Germany was being divided the British government was drawing up plans to re-arm the Nazis and, along with the Americans, plan a surprise attack against the Soviet Union.
The target date for this incredible insanity was July 1, 1945. Less than 2 months after World War 2’s end.
In Greece, Britain put into practice a taste of what Churchill wanted to come to the Soviet Union : by massacring anti-fascist partisans to bolster the Nazi collaborating regime.
Churchill’s reputation as a great man is largely the product of sycophantic ruling class propaganda.
The British (and American) ruling classes barely denazified West Germany. From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading judges and lawyers in the West German Justice Ministry were former members of the Nazi Party. (1)
Of them, 34 were former Sturmabteilung (SA). The SA being the paramilitary group which assisted Hitler in his rise and took part in Kristallnacht, the violent night that killed 91 Jews.(2)
At the close of the war Britain was vastly weaker and from there onward would fall lock-step into the shadow of the United States as Churchill remarked at Yalta in homely terms of being between the Big Russian bear and the American Buffalo was the “British donkey”. (3)
The reasons so little effort went into denazifying West Germany was ultimately because the ruling class held a common class interest with the German Nazis. Not only were prominent Nazis funneled via rat lines to the United States [and South America, with Vatican help] under Operation Paperclip that had participated in some of the most horrific forms of violence but ideologically liberalism preferred white supremacy and fascism to communism.
As Harry Rositzke, a former head of CIA secret operations put it,
“It was a visceral business of using any bastard as long as he was anti-Communist.” (4)
Liberalism always courts fascism when capitalism begins to fail. You can see this in the Daily Mail’s “Hurrah for the Blackshirts” which had a circulation of around 2 million people (in a population of 46 million at the time!).
Aristocratic petulance and class affinity with fascism.
This is also demonstrated in Winston Churchill’s views and actions, from his belief that, “the Aryan stock is bound to triumph”—
The young Churchill charged through imperial atrocities, defending each in turn. When concentration camps were built in South Africa, for white Boers, he said they produced “the minimum of suffering”. The death toll was almost 28,000, and when at least 115,000 black Africans were likewise swept into British camps, where 14,000 died, he wrote only of his “irritation that Kaffirs should be allowed to fire on white men”. Later, he boasted of his experiences there: “That was before war degenerated. It was great fun galloping about.”
Then as an MP he demanded a rolling programme of more conquests, based on his belief that “the Aryan stock is bound to triumph”.(5).
to his even more evil deeds which mark him as a genocidal maniac in India which has led one Indian politician to say Churchill had as much blood on his hands as Hitler. (Churchill also endorsed the idea of bombing Arab villages by the RAF for failure to pay their assigned tax to the crown—a form of “disciplining the savages” in his view, while giving the pilots an opportunity to train in such maneuvers. This was in the intervening years between the two world wars when Britain controlled much of Mesopotamia.—Eds)
“…Nor is there any memorial to the massacres of the Raj, from Delhi in 1857 to Amritsar in 1919, the deaths of 35 million Indians in totally unnecessary famines caused by British policy,” he added.(6)
“Churchill has as much blood on his hands as Hitler does. Particularly the decisions that he personally signed off during the Bengal Famine when 4.3 million people died because of the decisions he took or endorsed.” — Dr Shashi Tharoor,(7)
Not only did British inaction in India exacerbate the famines but it was actively encouraged by Churchill who remarked they “bred like rabbits”. Britain actively turned away ships from Australia and America trying to supply grain to ease the famine.
In 1943, as millions were dying of starvation in 1943 in Bengal, the birthplace of the Raj, Churchill not only refused to help but prevented others from doing so, commenting that Indians “bred like rabbits.” The Churchill industry, more interested in the great man’s dentures than in his war crimes, has managed to keep this appalling story fairly quiet.
It establishes how Churchill and his associates could easily have stopped the famine with a few shipments of foodgrains but refused, in spite of repeated appeals from two successive Viceroys, Churchill’s own Secretary of State for India and even the President of the United States.(8)
His passing into history as an iconic figure of immense stature happened in an almost Goebbels-esque fashion.
The immense death that Churchill presided over made him a prime figure to conjure up the bizarre (but aptly named) Operation Unthinkable. The overall objective of Operation Unthinkable was to: “impose upon Russia the will of the United States and British Empire” (9)
Operation Unthinkable: Ruling class perfidy in irrefutable form. It’s no accident no one ever mentions this. “Quick success might induce the Russians to submit to our will at least for the time being; but it might not. That is for the Russians to decide. If they want total war, they are in a position to have it.”
The Chief of the Army, Sir Alan Brooke, was disgusted with Winston Churchill and likened him to a warmonger. Brooke wrote in his diary:
‘Winston gives me the feeling of already longing for another war!’ (10)
According to Alan Brook, Churchill told him at the Potsdam Conference in July 1945:
“We can tell the Russians if they insist on doing this or that, well we can just blot out Moscow, then Stalingrad, then Kiev, then Sevastopol.”- Churchill(9)
Churchill’s callous disregard for human life and fetish for nuclear annihilation is enough to send a chill down your spine.
Liberalism’s relationship and preference for fascism can be seen today in the NATO alliance who released an 8 minute film glorifying the Latvian “Forrest Brothers” who were a cabal of SS collaborators.
By going beyond turning a blind eye to the worship of pro-Hitler forces in Eastern Europe,” said historian Dovid Katz, NATO “is crossing the line right into offering its moral legitimization of Nazi forces such as the Latvian Waffen SS.”(11)
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hat stopped Churchill from going on this disastrous path?
The War Cabinet listed out the total allied strength in Europe on July 1, 1945: 64 American divisions, 35 British and Dominion divisions, 4 Polish divisions, and 10 German divisions. The German divisions were purely imaginary because after the mauling they received from the Russians, the surviving soldiers were in no hurry to fight. At most, the allies would have mustered 103 divisions, including 23 armoured ones.
Soviet aviation in WW2. To the shocking realisation of the West, the USSR, despite its enormous losses and destruction, was still able to outproduce the Nazis and more than match the Anglo-Americans. That was an irrefutable proof of national will, steadfast leadership, and the power of socialist organisation.
Against this force were arrayed 264 Soviet divisions, including 36 armoured. Moscow commanded 6.5 million troops — a 2:1 advantage — on the German border alone. Overall, it had 11 million men and women in uniform.
In aircraft, the Allied Tactical Air Forces in North West Europe and the Mediterranean consisted of 6,714 fighter planes and 2464 bombers. The Soviets had 9380 fighter aircraft and 3380 bombers.(10)
The British army generals got a chance to breathe a sigh of relief as the plan was wholly dependant on the United States yet President Harry Truman expressed in no uncertain terms to Churchill via cable, advising that the USA had no intention of participating in, let alone leading, Operation Unthinkable.(13)
The world instead got peace instead of a deranged old mans hunger for World War and nuking of Soviet cities. This peace was of course limited to the imperial core (North America/Western Europe and Japan). But at least Soviet cities weren’t “blotted out” in nuclear annihilation.
The UK (of course) immediately set about sending war to Greece/Indonesia/Vietnam/the brutal dividing of Korea/Malaya/Egypt and Kenya.
Peace for the Soviets though was not an act of kindness from the West.
Peace was contingent on the superior strength of the Red Army at the time which deterred another World War.
The incredible propaganda of the west and the repeating of the “great lie” has led the killer Churchill to be treated as a hero of Britain rather than a monstrous despot that almost led the world to ruin.
