“The Official WWII Narrative: Historical Fact or Mass Illusion?”

The latter.

Sir Hartley Shawcross (Nuremberg prosecutor); March 16, 1984 (Liberty Bell; March 1987; p. 55):

“Hitler and the German people did not want war! According to the principles of our policy of balance of power and incited by Americans around Roosevelt, we declared war on Germany in order to destroy it.

“We did not answer Hitler’s many appeals for peace. Now we must declare that Hitler was right.”

Revilo P. Oliver; “The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor” (Liberty Bell; July 1989):

“American aviators would be released from the Army, Navy, and Marine air corps to be hired as mercenaries through the Intercontinent Corporation, … which would hire them ‘under contract with the Chinese government’ …. Japan would thus be unable to prove that the Roosevelt government’s pretense of neutrality … was odious hypocrisy….

“The plan for the sneaking attack on Japan … [was one] that Roosevelt obviously had authorized no later than 15 April 1941, eight months before Pearl Harbor…. The bombers would use incendiary bombs to devastate Japanese cities and fry Japanese civilians….

“Only difficulty and delay in diverting weapons promised the British prevented the plan from being carried out on schedule and enabled Japan to get in the first blow….”

Basil H. Liddell Hart; The German Generals Talk:

“‘My armoured cars … cut across the British lines of retreat [at Dunkirk]…. But then came a more emphatic order that I was to withdraw…. My tanks were kept halted there for three days’ …

“‘[Hitler] then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire … [and saying that] he would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in any difficulties anywhere…. ‘”

F. J. P. Veale; Advance to Barbarism (1968); Chapter 6:

“Mr. Spaight is not content merely to admit that upon Britain rests the responsibility for starting the practice of bombing civilian populations, but insists that to Britain must be awarded the entire credit for conceiving and carrying into effect this practice…. Finally, he agrees that Hitler only undertook the bombing of the British civilian population reluctantly three months after the R.A.F. had commenced bombing the German civilian population….”

David Irving; “On Contemporary History and Historiography”:

“Winston Churchill … knocked on the glass partition and told the driver to stop, turn around, go back…. As he gets out at No. 10 Downing Street, he turns … and says: ‘We have had a message, the beams are on London tonight and it would not be right for me to leave my capital and the citizens of this metropolis to suffer the raid alone.’ In fact, the message that he had received told him that the raid was on Coventry and so it was safe to come back to London…. His private secretary John Colville writes that that evening he went up on to the roof of the Air Ministry to wait for the oncoming bombers: he wanted to see the raid begin. What a hypocrite.”

Journal of Historical Review; Vol. 4, No. 3; p. 377:

“The Communist Partisans, large numbers of whom were not native-born Frenchmen, hoped to provoke German reprisals which would then alienate the French populace…. But Germans were not their only targets: throughout the occupation, other Communists, assorted leftists, and rightists were murdered by the Partisans.

“Once the Germans were forced to withdraw from France in the summer of 1944, a new ‘Reign of Terror’ commenced. Pryce-Jones estimates that there were 105,000 summary executions in France [105,000 murders of the people committed by their psychopathic and satanic masters] between June 1944 and February 1945.”

Liberty Bell; September 1988; p. 20:

“Even the enemy of Japan, Stimson, later conceded that neither of the two atom bombs would have had to be dropped in order to attain peace. This refutes the assertion, which is still often believed today, that the atom bomb saved American army divisions.”

Dr. Peter Hammond (The Andrew Carrington Hitchcock Show; 2021-11-04):

“The last prime minister of Rhodesia, Ian Smith, … who fought all six years of the Second World War … , said to me, ‘On reflection, we were on the wrong side in the Second World War…. It would have been better if we had lost the war, or if we had not been involved in the war at all, or even better, if we had actually gone and helped in the Eastern front to defeat the Soviet Union, who was our real enemy.'”

Dr. Peter Peel (Liberty Bell; March 1987; p. 56):

“Not until we admit fully to ourselves and the world that the destruction of Germany was a monstrously wicked folly can there be a road back for us out of the sick and dying condition of our polluted and poisoned present.”

Revilo P. Oliver; “The Price of the Head” (Liberty Bell; Sep. 1981):

“At Harvard, [William Leonard] Langer attained both eminence and popularity as a ‘Revisionist’ historian and able lecturer, taking an objective and realistic view of recent history. But men who were at Harvard, whether as colleagues or students, began to notice a strange and inexplicable change in Langer late in 1936. At first subtly, and then ever more openly, the objective historian … was transformed into a strident propagandist who … was whooping it up for another ‘war to end wars’ and another insane Crusade against Germany, this time to punish the Germans for trying to have a country of their own, not under Jewish management….

“George Sylvester Viereck … [said] that he had been summoned to the White House in the late 1930’s, where he was confronted by Roosevelt and his flunky, Fulton Oursler, who urged him to change his attitude toward the ‘European situation,’ since it would be very profitable to do so. At the height of the discussion, Oursler asked Viereck why he was being difficult. ‘After all,’ Oursler said, ‘Langer took $75,000,’ and intimated that it was unreasonable to expect much more than a Harvard Professor. To the amazement of Roosevelt and his flunky, Viereck refused to be bought at any price, so the tyrant had him thrown into jail for four years illegally, where he was subjected to all the horrors described in his Men into Beasts.

“So now the Langer Mystery is solved at last. The sum of $75,000 in the only partly debased currency of that time was the equivalent of at least half a million dollars today….”
