What a pleasure to read, seeking to reach answers through critical thinking, rather than the the ad hominem attacks this topic usually generates. I have been exposed to some of the thinking for Greg Hallett and his "Hitler was a British Agent" material, which I am quite undecided about, but there are aspects that make sense, and the outcomes that Hitler caused to occur were certainly disastrous for the German people, which is essentially the view of Hitler that Paul Rassinier seems to have adopted.<br /><br />Certainly there are data points on both sides, i.e., first, the idea that Hitler was a very skilled actor and orator, perhaps Tavistock trained, whose entire purpose was to lead the German people down the path of destruction, as a planted Zionist agent.<br />Or, second, the idea that Hitler was simply egomaniacal and delusional about what could be accomplished with the resources available to him.<br /><br />It does seem to me that Hitler had little choice but to take the battle to Stalin, but everything after that initial blitzkrieg was foolishness and ignoring the advice of his military men. I had not read before about the Nazis trying to cut off the Lend-Lease equipment shipping port; that would have been a sensible thing to do.<br /><br />I think I shall get Mr. Hoffman's book as a Christmas present to myself and my girlfriend. Somehow I had the incorrect idea Mr. Hoffman had been "suicided", so I am very glad to hear those rumors have been greatly exaggerated.<br /><br />Our woeful educational system feeds us useless propaganda, and directs us away from critical thinking and analysis. I am not an academician in these matters, simply endlessly fascinated. Most recently the Tambov Rebellion has caught my attention. I don't know if Mr. Hoffman has ever written on that topic, but if he had, I would certainly be interested to read his thoughts and analysis.<br /><br />Idaho Kulak<br />(Yes, I truly am from Moscow, and, as the signs say, Idaho is too great to litter)Idaho Kulaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-48534511622077517882019-11-30T09:14:18.548-08:002019-11-30T09:14:18.548-08:00My quote: "In fact, Hitler split and diverted...My quote: "In fact, Hitler split and diverted his own armed forces from the "Operation Typhoon" attempt to take Moscow to ANOTHER charnel house, Stalingrad,..."<br />Of course, the attempted occupation of Stalingrad did not begin until August 1942, in an attempt to sever the Volga River and cut northern Russia off from lend-lease supplies via the Caspian Sea, and foreshadowing a plan to capture energy-rich Azerbaijan. Again, Hitler, who by this time had arrogated to himself command of the German armed forces, was, with his occult influenced "magical thinking", and perhaps the drugs he was on, overconfident, and underestimated the strength of Soviet reserves. Hitler's (and Stalin's) unchallenged dictatorship should make us vigilant against any attempt by American politicians to arrogate unauthorized power to themselves, no matter how seemingly good the reason.<br />The losses in World War II are staggering beyond belief. Thank God nothing on this scale is happening today. I am not a war buff. But it is important to put paid to the delusions of the Hitler cultists. For this I thank Michael Hoffman.

Hitler's lunacy gave time for the Soviets to prepare their defenses and for "General Winter" to slow and halt the Axis forces.<br /><br />"Sir, as a result of Hitler’s delusional, reckless gamble on conquering Russia in a matter of months, the Red Army did prevail and the “German losses in German land” were indeed “unbearable" in 1945." <br /><br />To Baregil: In 1941, a German military that had not been attritted attempting to consolidate the vast territory of the European portion of the USSR would have been able to fight a defensive war from Poland, Austria and East Prussia, using its air power to "neutralize" any Soviet troop concentrations. The European USSR is 3,960,000 km². The Hitler Regime was unable to defeat Great Britain, whose territory is 209,331 km2. The Soviets suffered nearly four hundred thousand casualties in Karelia from December 1939 to mid-March 1940. The size of Karelia is half the area of present day Germany (minus East Prussia.) After the war with Finland, the Soviets were in no shape to take on a Wehrmacht and Waffen SS which were on or close to their own territory and supply centers.Jeff Masters- San Franciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355572443291262528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-41801074378561459762019-11-22T07:30:23.397-08:002019-11-22T07:30:23.397-08:00You wrote:

Maybe yes, maybe not, but in the long run, I do think that the Red Army would have prevailed and German loses in German land would have been unbearable and that Hitler would rather have attacked than allow Stalin to bring war home.<br /><br />You are right in stating that "When Hitler’s invasion of Russia went from the blitzkrieg phase...to a war of attrition...the Ostheer was doomed. But what could Hitler have done when reaching this point, bring the army back home? Easier said than done; once an attack is launched it's very hard to stop it and immediate greater loses may be the outcome and this was the fate of 'La Grande Armée' de Napoleon when in winter it retreated from the outskirts of Moscow.<br /><br />I am neither trying to tell you "that Hitler’s decision to try to take Russia in three months, and then when that failed, in another three months, was a brilliant move on his part".<br /><br />Please, Mr. Hoffman c'mon, aren't you exaggerating a bit when saying that Hitler "is the real founder of so-called Israel"? I totally agree that both Nazism and Zionism _although for different reasons_, both had the goal to relocate Jews to a national homeland, being Palestine, back then, a suitable destination. For what Hitler war concerned I bet that even Idaho would have been a good place, had the Jews chosen it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Baregil de Gomcesvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623292949948451555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-45648493784843117652019-11-21T21:13:00.059-08:002019-11-21T21:13:00.059-08:00The problem with your argument is the string of fa...The problem with your argument is the string of faulty suppositions you must mount to conceal Hitler's suicidal “march to Moscow." Defending a dogma makes for poor historical argument because facts must be dismissed to protect Hitler’s god-like status.<br /><br />You wrote: “Had Hitler slept in his laurels and done nothing, not having taken the initiative to attack (the best defense), the Red Army would have overrun the Wehrmacht and advance deep into the German heartland. The Red Army would have overrun the Wehrmacht and advance deep into the German heartland. The material destruction and the killing of soldiers and civilians would have been enormous and the prospect of bringing the war action inside Germany was something Hitler would want to spare the Fatherland” (end quote).<br /><br />These are the dreams the Hitler pleaders and panegyrists put forth to protect their god from criticism.<br /><br />The notion that in order to defeat the allegedly imminent Russian invasion of Germany, Hitler was compelled to establish as his objective the grandiose conquest of the nation of Russia by the autumn of 1941, is a non-sequitur. <br /><br />One can take the “initiative to attack” the supposed invasion force, without establishing as one’s goal, the conquest of Moscow by autumn, and when that hallucination was not realized, by December.<br /><br />A Russian invasion of Germany in 1941 or early 1942 would have meant the crushing of the Russian invasion force for two primary reasons. 1. Like Hitler, Stalin had not the resources to sustain an army of millions across the distances involved. There is no evidence that such an overextended force could have maintained the vehicles, spare parts food, ammunition and personnel which would have been needed to conquer Germany. <br /><br />2. You forget that the Red Army in 1941-42 was basically a mob of riflemen, except when constantly supported by heavy artillery and tank corps. The Red Army battered the Ostheer to death on the Eastern Front due to an abundance of supplies and manpower which the Germans lacked. <br /><br />What do you know of the Red Army in this time period? It seems that you do not know that your supposed invincible Russian invasion force headed for the German border would be no match for the German army and air force fighting near their supply lines. On the ground, German army tactics embodied in the concept of the “Auftragstaktik” initiative, by which German officers exhibited justly renowned operational and tactical expertise in front-line combat, would have largely destroyed an overextended Red Army on German territory, in 1941 or early 1942.<br /><br />Your concluding paragraph makes no sense. “Judea” benefited enormously from Hitler’s rule, first, by his suppression of the hugely popular (unprecedented in modern history), national German movement led by Gregor Strasser and Gottfried Feder to wipe out the Money Power through the abolition of ALL usury — including that of the non-Judaic German usury banks which Hitler traitorously embraced after 1934. Second, by the solicitude he gained for the Zionist masterplan of ruling Palestine. Without Hitler there would have been little sympathy for the dispossession of the Palestinians and the creation of the Israeli state. He is the real founder of so-called “Israel."<br /><br />When Hitler’s invasion of Russia went from the blitzkrieg phase, which ended three months after he attacked Russia, to a war of attrition dependent on maintaining combat through access to distant raw materials and enormous stocks of fuel, food, spare parts, ammunition, transport and replacements for tanks and artillery, the Ostheer was doomed; a fact which was conveyed to Hitler by his quartermasters in 1941. And you’re telling me that Hitler’s decision to try to take Russia in three months, and then when that failed, in another three months, was a brilliant move on his part? It was another Masada, only in Nordic terms: Götterdämmerung.<br /><br />All this and more is in my book, which perhaps you might trouble to read some time.Michael Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485741729327325322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-84486194714872322532019-11-21T19:14:06.806-08:002019-11-21T19:14:06.806-08:00Stalin had amassed a huge army behind Germany'...Stalin had amassed a huge army behind Germany's frontier line. The trains were arriving fully packed with war machines, equipment, and men. Had Hitler slept in his laurels and done nothing, not having taken the initiative to attack (the best defense), the Red Army would have overrun the Wehrmacht and advance deep into the German heartland. The material destruction and the killing of soldiers and civilians would have been enormous and the prospect of bringing the war action inside Germany was something Hitler would want to spare the Fatherland. <br /><br />The Red Army had more of everything to inflict an early and devastating defeat on unprepared Germany and the war with Germany would have ended in 1941. The Soviet army would not have stopped there but would certainly have advanced into the Iberian Peninsula.<br /><br />Germany, a small country compared with Russia, faced with the prospect of a Soviet invasion, did not have the luxury Stalin had when Barbarossa was launched: to retreat and run indefinitely into the emptiness and vastness of Russia's outback. Therefore, Germany's surrender would have occurred rather quickly and certainly only after huge human loses, taking into account the desperate and heroic resistance and defense the German people would, no doubt, have had to put up.<br /><br />Faced with a certain Soviet invasion and with the prospect of, by inaction, bringing the war action into the German Fatherland and risking a quick defeat because of Germany's lack of preparedness, Hitler had no other option but to attack and bid for time (time = hope) and "gamble" his chances against all odds, because a second front was being forced on him.<br /><br />If we are to put blame on Hitler it would be to have too soon put Judea into the spotlight as the Nº1 enemy of humankind and unleash all the power, the hatred and revenge of Judea on him and on Germany by extension. This sealed Germany's fate and defeat, until the present age. This war is still raging on, and we can bet that a man like Putin well knows who the enemy is, but the man is cunning enough not to identify it and disclose this publicly. <br /><br />Hitler's defeat paved the way for the 'New World Order', for the 'One World Government' and for the 'One World Religion' projects. <br /><br />Baregil de Gomcesvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623292949948451555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-47221527280852211642019-11-21T13:36:39.524-08:002019-11-21T13:36:39.524-08:00Like the Talmudists, the Hitlerites won’t study th...Like the Talmudists, the Hitlerites won’t study that which contradicts their dogma. They mindlessly parrot the party line, “Stalin was about to invade Germany.” <br /><br />Even if that disputed claim were true, it in no way vitiates the thesis of my book, but to understand that fact, the Hitler cultists would actually have to THINK. You’d be surprised what a tall order that is for many of them.<br /><br />Adolf Hitler, in the words of his combat officer Kurt Meyer, was “the gambler at the map table.” He gambled that his ill-prepared, under-armed, poorly supplied military would conquer the vast space known as Russia in three months! When that suicidally lunatic notion did not materialize by September, 1941, he insisted Moscow would fall by December. There was never a snowball’s chance in you-know-where of that happening. It was such a fantastic misreading of what Hitler ignorantly derided as the “Asiatic hordes” of the Soviet Union, that one looks for an answer in the occult training he received, and the drugs he was ingesting, to fathom how any leader could be so grotesquely reckless and incompetent.<br /><br />Even if the hypothesis that Stalin was going to imminently attempt to sustain a projection of an enormous military invasion force across the vast Soviet territory between Moscow and the German border, were indeed correct, a wise German leader would have done to Stalin’s forces what Stalin did to Hitler’s—allow the wobbly supply lines, the incredible distances, the non-existent roads, the Russian winter, and the insurmountable difficulties for quartermaster generals of supplying an army, to defeat the Reds, spearheaded by a German soldiery and Luftwaffe fighting close to their supplies and transport. <br /><br />The argument that seeks to exculpate Hitler of his mass suicide “Operation Barbarossa” rests upon the claim that he was compelled by circumstances to wage an offensive war against a presumptive attack by the USSR, and that such a war was the only war he could have waged under the circumstances. This contention violates every principle of military strategy. The fact is, had he a Carl Von Clausewitz on his staff, he would have been informed that the German military, fighting a two-front war already (in western Europe and Britain, and in Africa), could not overcome the Soviet empire over the distances involved. <br /><br />Though the Germans killed vast numbers of Russians in 1941, vast numbers were available for replacement, whereas the German “Ostheer” that invaded Russia and suffered 180,000 killed just in the first three months, and kept losing ever more in the months ahead, had very few replacements. By January 1942 that army would never be seen again. Only an ever-dwindling ghost of itself would be available. <br /><br />In my book I quote the sources that show that Hitler’s generals who were in charge of supplying the Ostheer, stated to him by the end of 1941, that the army could no longer be adequately supplied, the war was lost, and all that was left was a holding action awaiting the potential development of the super weapons. This Masada-like catastrophe had occurred six months after Hitler ordered the invasion! <br />Michael Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485741729327325322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-61928905605760771342019-11-20T22:30:37.334-08:002019-11-20T22:30:37.334-08:00Flanagan's long and tedious diverging disserta...Flanagan's long and tedious diverging dissertation proves nothing other than he, along with Hoffman, blames Hitler for a war that was imposed on him by Judea's proxies, a war he knew Germany was not ready for and was neither prepared to fight and could not possibly have won.<br /> <br />Hitler had to choice but to unleash Barbarossa, since he intuited that Stalin was about to unleash a massive attack on July 6 on Germany, under the code name 'Operation Thunder'.<br /><br />"The Nazi command succeeded in forestalling our troops literally two weeks before the war began. (General S.P. Ivanov, Chief of the General Staff Academy of the Armed Forces of the USSR, 1974.<br /><br />In his new book 'The Day M' (Klett-Cotta, 1995), Victor Suvorov writes about the consequences of August 19: "It was a secret mobilization. The Soviet leadership readied the Red Army and the entire nation for the conquest of Germany and all of Western Europe. Stalin took the final decision to start the war on August 19, 1939".(Staatsbriefe, Wolfgang Strauss: Der Zweite Weltkrieg begann am 19 August 1939.<br /><br />Hitler's purpose in attacking the Soviet Union derived from a concrete situation. In June 1941, the Soviets annexed Bessarabia and North Bukovina. They were thus threatening near the Romanian oil wells, from which Germany, to a great extent was supplied.<br /><br />At the time, 6 German divisions, on the border between Poland and the Soviet Union, faced 170 Russian divisions. Hitler reacted. In July 1940, he gave instructions for the first time to the Overkommando der Wehrmacht, to explore the possibility of an attack on the Soviet Union. (Simultaneously, Stalin in Moscow gave the same instructions for an attack against Germany.<br /><br />Cognitive dissonance: (arriving at a different conclusion from the very same set of facts) is motivated by personal sympathies or subjective dislikes and from a particular Weltanschauung alignment.<br /><br />For me, Germany and Hitler were the non-guilty victims of an aggression orchestrated by a group of nations controlled by international Jewry.<br /><br /> Baregil de Gomcesvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623292949948451555noreply@blogger.com
