From Rebuilding Britain to the Rebuilding of the British!
If we were to believe the hogwash currently being spouted about the so called ‘Windrush Generation’, we might think that in the aftermath of World War 2, Britain was in a parlous state, lacking both the funds and the manpower to recover from the damage inflicted by the bombing raids of the Luftwaffe. The commonly held belief is that Britain was bankrupted by our involvement in World War II and that so many of our…
‘Scramble’, in Defence of Our Homeland!
By Max Musson: As many in this country prepare to mark the 70th Anniversary of VJ Day, the allied victory over Japan which brought World War II to an end, the Daily Mail website features an absurd story claiming that many ‘Britons’ show a shocking lack of knowledge of the key events of that war and World War I that preceded it. Of course, any self-respecting member of the British public will have a good working…
War and the Breed
By Max Musson: On this 100th Anniversary of the start of World War One, the ‘Great War’, I am reminded of a very moving book that I have in my possession written in 1915 by David Starr Jordan, then Chancellor of Leland Stanford University, in which he documents prophetically the tragically dysgenic effects of modern warfare on the populations of Europe. Below, I reproduce adapted slightly, the Foreword to Jordan’s book, written by J.W. Jamieson, which most succinctly summarises…
Homeless Jack On The Stupidest Generation & The Gene Wars
As told by H. Millard: Man, if you want to understand what I really have to say, you’ve first got to understand the following five points: 1. All living things that we know about, (with the possible exception of some viruses) including human beings, have an internal code (or blueprint or recipe) made up of the four chemicals that make up DNA and which are usually abbreviated as A, T, C, G. All the life…
Mandela, a Role Model?
By Max Musson: Following last nights extended TV news coverage, the front pages of today’s newspapers prominently feature headline news articles announcing the death of Nelson Mandela and the beginning of several days of mourning that will see every current world leader and every extant ex-world leader gushing in fulsome praise of every aspect of the great man’s being. Nelson Mandela we will be endlessly reminded, was a man who through his unwavering determination, great…
Treblinka – The Forensic Examination Fails
By Max Musson: This weekend my attention was caught by adverts for a repeat showing of Channel 5’s documentary, ‘Treblinka: Inside Hitler’s Secret Death Camp’, part of their ‘Genius and Genocide’, series featuring no less than six, 90 minute documentaries trawling once more over the alleged ‘facts’ and ‘diabolical nature’ of the Nazi Third Reich. Publicity material for the documentary claimed that it would be, “… following a team of British archaeologists who have been…
‘Der Landser’ Discontinued
By Max Musson: In an article that we published on 14th August this year, entitled, ‘Jewish Sensibilities & the Commemoration of Heroes’, I reported that a campaign was afoot to deny German boys and girls the right to celebrate the heroism of their forebears by reading eye-witness accounts of Wehrmacht soldiers who fought often valiantly during World War II. The Bauer Publishing Group publishes three magazines that present such stories; ‘Der Landser’ (The Squaddie); Geschichte & Wissen’ (History and Knowledge); and ‘Militär…
Jewish Sensibilities & the Commemoration of Heroes
By Max Musson: As a boy, I used to enjoy reading stories of heroism and daring do on the part of British servicemen and women and British military units during past wars, including both the First and Second World Wars. Furthermore, I have always regarded it as important that current generations remember the sacrifices of past generations, especially those who gave their lives in the service of our nation and I believe that material both…
Rochus Misch: The Last Survivor from Hitler’s Bunker
On 30 April 1945, Adolf Hitler took his own life in the Reich chancellery bunker in Berlin, with Soviet troops only a block or so away. Today, the last person still alive who was in the bunker is 95-year-old Rochus Misch,
Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter
By Max Musson: There has been a mixed reaction to the recent broadcast on German TV of a three-part series entitled ‘Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter’ (‘Our Mothers, our Fathers’), depicting the effect that the Second World War conflict had on the lives of ordinary German citizens, and on the lives of five young Germans in particular. The five young friends are; brothers Wilhelm and Friedhelm; a young nurse Charly; aspiring singer Greta; and her Jewish…
