A letter from Wolf Murmelstein

I have recently received the following e-mail letter from Wolf Murmelstein:

 

Dear Furtherglory!

 and Commentators!

In some posts and comments on your blog, there is a reference to an alleged order given by Heinrich Himmler – in 1942 – to avoid any physical abuse of the prisoners, or to a statement made by Ernst Kaltenbrunner at Nuremberg about punishment of SS men who were guilty of thefts.

The above seems clearly to have been mockeries in order to fool the International Red Cross Committee, who just at the beginning of 1942, had started action to help civilians, brought to the Concentration Camps, so from the Reich as from the countries under occupation.

The Nazis pretended that, in the Concentration Camps, the treatment had been STRENG ABER GERECHT –severe but just. This was one of the many lies the Nazis had circulated.

When mentioning delousing, or so, we forget that typhus or other diseases had been instrumental in the mass killing of Jews and other prisoners,  who were called, in Nazi Deutsch UNGEZIEFER, – insects – to be extirpated.

The personal safety of the mass of prisoners in a concentration camp had never been a concern of the Nazis; the death marches had been the instrument to murder the most possible prisoners who were still alive. Consider that from Buchenwald and Bergen Belsen, in April 1945, many inmates had been transported away to nowhere, except to death in the overcrowded closed box cars on the trains.

In the USA,  and in the UK and elsewhere, it is still not clear that the THIRD REICH had been run by a group of criminals, who were followers of a racist murder doctrine.  They had taken advantage of the the respect for authority, which was peculiar to the German people, and to many Jews too.

Best.

Wolf Murmelstein.

African-American soldiers who liberated the Nazi death camps in WWII

One of the regular readers of my blog made a comment about black soldiers in the US Army and I am expanding on this subject in my new blog post today.

The following quote is from the comment:

The genie of the Black Liberators Hoax was already out of the bottle in 1993…

The U.S. Army credits the 45th Thunderbird Division, the 42nd Rainbow Division and the 20th Armored Division as the liberators of the Dachau concentration camp on April 29, 1945. There were no African-American soldiers in these three divisions because the American Army was segregated during World War II.

SS 2nd Lt. Heinrich Wicker surrendered the Dachau camp to Brig. Gen. Henning Linden on April 29, 1945

A few African-American veterans have claimed that they were there when the main Dachau concentration camp was liberated. Other veterans, including Lt. Col. Felix Sparks of the 45th Thunderbird Division, maintain that there were no black soldiers among the liberators of Dachau.

On November 11, 1992, a TV documentary was aired by PBS on nationwide TV in honor of Veterans’ Day. The title of the documentary was the same as the title of the book on which it was based: Liberators: Fighting On Two Fronts In WWII.

The book was written by Lou Potter with some help from William Miles and Nina Rosenblum, the co-producers who made the film and the theatrical version. The film was produced by Miles Educational Film Production in New York City. The book was published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in late 1992. Also included in this lavish project was a workbook for High School students.

The book entitled Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II was exposed as a fraud within weeks of its debut, but the story still lives on.

The documentary, which was touted as historically accurate, claimed that the 761st Tank Battalion, attached to the 71st Division, liberated both Buchenwald and Dachau.

Veterans who participated in the liberation of these camps deny that the soldiers of the 761st Tank Battalion were there, and the US Army does not recognize the 761st as liberators of any of the Nazi camps.

Only divisions can be officially honored as liberators; the 71st Division is credited with being the liberators of a Mauthausen sub-camp in Austria, called Gunskirchen, where starving prisoners were set free and allowed to plunder the nearby town of Lambach.

The soldiers in the 761st Tank Battalion were all African-Americans; the title of the book and the PBS film refers to the fact that black soldiers had to fight discrimination by Americans on the home front, while at the same time, they were fighting on the battle front in Europe to end the racial discrimination by the Nazis.

German soldiers at Dachau were executed  by the American liberators after they had surrendered

After the Dachau camp was voluntarily turned over to the Americans, the German soldiers who had remained in the camp were murdered by the Americans.
