ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

July 30, 2001

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

The book review below, published in the English translation of the
German-based Berliner Morgenzeitung, has only recently come to our
attention.  The National Journal website at
http://globalfire.tv/nj/e2001/history/stalinswar.htm republished this
review  and adorned it with its own rather outspoken  editorial, titled
"Putin's Surprise Attack".

Today's ZGram incorporates some of this editorial.

The book reviewed reflects, rather timidly but nonetheless notably, the
shifting sands of Germany's rekindled perception of what really caused
World War II - and what role Hitler was forced to play by default.

This new perception did not happen in a vacuum.

Russian President Putin, who as intelligence officer stationed in East
(Central) Germany, enjoyed the insights into what Germans really feel but
cannot say under the current psychologically repressive system.  Putin is
fluent in the German language and, many feel, is acting to kindle and
perhaps even legitimize these feelings in his new and very interesting
"Realpolitik" towards the German nation by careful release of selected
historical documents only available in hitherto top secret Kremlin
archives.

As part of his courting the Germans, Putin recently released a few of the
most securely concealed documents about Stalin's war of extermination. As a
result, Jewish interests found themselves in a state of uncertainty and
quickly produced a book in the name of Israeli historian Gabriel Gorodetsky
"Die gro=DFe T=E4uschung. Hitler, Stalin und das Unternehmen Barbarossa" (Th=
e
Great Deception. Hitler, Stalin and Barbarossa).

In this book Gorodetsky tries franticly to keep alive the old story that
Hitler "waged a war of aggression against the peace-loving Soviet Union".

The recent documents, released by President Putin, are so sound that
Michael Ploetz from the "Berliner Morgenpost" dared for the first time in
the history of post-war Germany to denounce the claims of a Jewish
historian regarding Adolf Hitler as false: "It shows that Gorodetsky's
interpretation is completely unfounded. ... Doubts regarding the author's
serious scientific intentions are more than justified."

Moreover, the review of Gorodetsky's book is turned into a revisionist
counter attack and concludes that, "contrary to Gorodetsky's suggestions,
Hitler wasn't the genius of evil as portrayed at all times by all sides!"

These statements, coming from a German journalist in a main-stream German
newspaper was until recently inconceivable and marks the beginning of a new
era. Please read the sensational revisionist passages of the Berliner
Morgenpost, meant to be a review of Gorodetsky's anti-Hitler book:

[START]

The former officer of the Soviet Military Intelligence service, Viktor
Suvorov alias Vladimir Resunvo, who fled to Great Britain in 1978,
supported the thesis that Stalin's long term foreign policy-plan aimed to
unleash a war between the major capitalist powers in order to overrun
war-tired Europe.   Based on circumstantial evidence Suvo-rov also proved
that the Red Army concentrated its striking power in 1941 at its western
borders - not for the purpose of defence but to attack. ...

Suvorov's thesis are widely supported in Russia today. ...   In the
nineties of last century Red Army deployment plans of 1940/41 were found in
Russian archives. These plans reveal that the Chief of Staff of the Soviet
Army had worked out a strategy of a war of aggression against Germany.

In 1995, V. Neveshin, a historian from the Academy of Science, was able to
prove with new archive material that the Soviet cultural elite had
propagandistically prepared a war of aggression against Germany since the
spring of 1941. Even the most controversial question, whether Stalin
revealed his plans of a war of aggression against Germany on May 5, 1941
before the graduates of the Soviet Military Academy can, since the second
half of the nineties of last century, conclusively be answered as "YES".

The revision of established history is not restricted alone to Stalin's
tricks immediately before the German attack on the Soviet Union. Boris
Sokolov, also from the Academy of   Science, suspects that Stalin already
prepared an attack on allied Germany in the west   in the spring of 1940.
The German "Blitz" over France forced Stalin to postpone his   plans.

Sokolov refers to an operational plan of the Soviet navy of February 1940
in   which Germany and its allies were named as the only possible enemies.
Sokolov sees in   the mass execution of Polish officers, which took place
early May 1940 at Katyn,   another  piece of circumstantial evidence that
proves Stalin's war plans. The liquidation   of Poland's military elite was
the prerequisite for the creation of a liberation army, lead   by
communists.

The recruitment of Polish POW's, who were ready to fight the Germans
independently from their Polish exile government, had indeed become a
reality by   October 1940. ...

On the 7th of September 1939 Dimitroff noted the following statement of
Stalin:

"The   war is waged between two groups of capitalist states. We don't mind
that that they   weaken themselves by smashing each other. It would not be
bad if Germany could rock   the richest capitalist countries (especially
England). Our non-aggression pact with   Germany helps that purpose in a
way. The next step will be to spur the other side.   Communists in the
capitalist countries must resolutely oppose their governments, they   must
appear as staunch anti-war protesters. The unified front from yesterday was
meant   to ease the situation of the slaves in capitalist regimes. Under
the terms of the   imperialistic war it has become the question of
destroying slavery."

And on the 25th of October 1939 Stalin explained the essentials of
communist   propaganda:

   "1. Not to dash forward. Not all slogans at one time. We must lead the
masses slowly up   to our revolutionary slogans.

   2. For the time being it is most important that we use negative slogans.
Down with the   imperialistic war! To link the question of peace with the
destruction of the capital means,   helping Chamberlain and the arsonists
of war. It means to isolate ourselves from the   masses!" ...

   Contrary to Gorodetsky's suggestions, the new Russian scientific
findings do not   morally exonerate Germany but show that Hitler wasn't the
genius of evil as portrayed   at all times by all sides!"
