Why the west likes neither Molotov, nor Ribbentrop 17 страница
The air raids on peaceful cities brought about destruction and death in all the countries at war. It is extremely difficult to ascertain what country made the very first raid. But, no doubt, it was Germany that suffered the heaviest losses from the air bombs
The most appalling fire-storm was made by the British and American aviation in Dresden. The British aviation arranged the first air raid on the city on the night of February 13–14, 1945. On the following day the strike was repeated by the American aviation. A total of 1,300 bombers were en-gaged which created an unprecedented fire-storm. Dresden was no more. Previously one of the most beautiful cities of Germany it lost all architec-tural places of interest. It is still impossible to calculate the number of the victims; according to different estimates this inferno of fire burnt from 60 to 100 thousand people. Let the reader note the date and try to answer the question: why carry out massacre in the city without any military objects or military production, two months before the end of the war, when the outcome of the war was clear? Is this an accident? Is this a mistake? One should remember who dropped the A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those criminals were not punished either…

Adolf Hitler’s fatal love
Our compatriots are badly acquainted even with the history of the Great Patriotic War. So it is only natural that we do not know much detail about the battles of the Second World War on the other side of Eurasia. We normally derive the concept of the war between Japan and the USA from Hollywood films: the helpless Americans confronted with hosts of Japanese warplanes. However, during the whole war period the American territory had never been a target for bombing, except Pear-Harbor. But Japan was bombarded as intensively as Germany. The most formidable blow was delivered by the Americans on March 9, 1945 (about a month following the destruction of Dresden). Three hundred bombers attacked the Japanese capital, each carrying from 6 to 8 tons of napalm bombs. The Japanese historians consider this raid to be the most destructive one in history. The raving firestorm destroyed 16.5 square miles of To-kyo. Different estimates put the death toll at 80 to 300 thousand. Japan had been so fiercely that the damages resulting from the two A-bombs came only to 6 % of the general number of losses inflicted on the Land of the Rising Sun. Does anyone think that the Japanese have forgotten and forgiven that?1

England did not want to come to the negotiating table. She kept on bomb-ing the German cities in a cold-blood manner. She showed determination to fight to the end. She could be successfully fought with and even defeated, but, analyzing the situation Hitler wondered at two problems. The first problem was the price of the victory. And there was the principal question: why? Germany was faced with a hard endless struggle, while in the east the USSR, for now friendly, was successfully achieving its strategic goals. Shortly after the fall of France, Stalin solved the Baltic problem by including Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia into the USSR. In a similar way, Bessarabia, earlier captured by Romania, returned to the Soviet Union. The war in the West between Hitler and the Western democracies that had long patronized him suited the Soviet Union altogether. But did it suit Adolf Hitler? All his life he was anxious to destroy communism and form a union with Britain, and what was happening was just the other way round.
On May 10, 1941 Rudolf Hess2, Hitler’s closest associate, made a flight to England, allegedly at his own initiative. It was a desperate attempt to make

The flight date is no coincidence. The German General Staff was to have finished the preparations for the “Operation Barbarossa” by May 15, 1941.

peace between Germany and England. As a matter of fact, Hess’s objective was no secret: “He (Hess. — N. S.) knew and wa capable of understand-ing Hitler’s inner mind — his hatred of Soviet Russia, his lust to liquidate Bolshevism, his admiration of Britain and earnest wish to be friends with the British Empire…”1
A month before the fixed date of attacking the USSR Hitler had to make up his mind, whether or not he would launch “Operation Barbarossa”. This attack was not predetermined. The ultimate decision to attack the USSR was adopted only after the Hess flight: “The order to attack the USSR was issued only on June 10”2. Adolf Hitler always refrained from fighting a war on two fronts. Then why did he start it? He started it, because at the moment of attacking the USSR he was convinced that there would be no second front! That was the mission of Rudolf Hess’s flight.

It should be borne in mind that the secret of this deputy fuehrer’s mysterious flight to England was not Hitler’s proposal, but England’s response to it!
The British guaranteed Hitler their favorable neutrality in his future war against the USSR. They also guaranteed a long-awaited peace for Germany following the military collapse of Russia…
“We are not unaware of Hess that was sent to England to convince the English politicians to join a general crusade against the USSR. But the Germans backed the wrong horse. Despite Hess’s efforts, Great Britain and the USA are on the same side with the USSR against Hitler’s Germany”3, — said Stalin in a Moscow besieged by the fascists. This is the answer. How could Hitler have miscalculated? If the British government had refused the German fuehrer’s proposal and the idea of holding negotiations with him out of hand, what could Hitler have counted on unleashing his war in the east? Why should he have counted on England’s joining the general crusade against the USSR, if he had had the British REFUSAL? In a situation when England does not agree to the talks it would be simple madness to attack

the USSR. But it would be a different matter, if the British guaranteed their non-interference into the conflict and promised staying quietly on their Island, let alone siding with Nazi Germany to fight the Russians. This could be a way out. The only thing to do would be to crush Russia to endure peace with Britain.

If Hitler decided to attack the USSR, it means that England had given her blessing. It just cannot be otherwise. It was Great Britain that sys-tematically set Hitler’s Germany against Russia, and finally the British managed to make Hitler attack Russia. Hitler’s Anglophilia played a low-down trick with Hitler. The head of Germany made a decision contrary to common sense because he loved his British enemy and because he had been promised British neutrality. Shortly after the Hess flight Germany suddenly ceased her mighty air raids on England to resume them only in January 1943…1
On August 1987 Rudolf Hess, the last survivor of the Third Reich’s lead-ers, went out of the world in the Spandau Prison. He was nearly 93 years old, having served 46 years in jail. All those sentenced, like himself, to imprisonment under the sentence of the Nuremberg Trial had long left the prison. Since 1966 he had been the only prisoner of Spandau. Having served 8 years out of 15, Konstantin von Neurath, a diplomat was released on the plea of poor health. Admiral Karl Doenitz and the head of “Hitlerjugend” Baldur von Schirach were also released, each having served the term of 20 years. But Rudolf Hess stayed on. Why? The reader would say: because he was sentenced to life imprisonment. But this is a mistake. Admiral Raeder served only 10 years, and the Third Reich’s Minister for Economic Affairs Walter Funk served only 12 years, though they were also sentenced to life imprisonment. They were released, because they did not know the secret that Hess did know. He was the only one to know what the British had promised Hitler and why the German fuehrer had believed them…
Hess’s death was a mystery, too. The 90-year-old man, taking a walk, made a suicide attempt, winding an electric cord round his neck. The guards massaged his chest to make artificial respiration, but they tried too hard and… broke his chest and ribs2. The deceased’s son did not believe the medical assessment report of the autopsists from the British hospital that

dealt with the dead body insisted on independent postmortem examination. In point of fact, he had good grounds for that. Hess had always been under strict supervision, and on his last day a guard left him alone just for a few minutes. “In this interval of time the senile man managed to write a suicide note, fasten an extension cord to the sash holder, run his head into the noose and fasten the noose around his neck, judging by a horizontal trace on his neck, and toss himself on the ground”1.
As a result of the second autopsy the German doctors spotted another trace left by the cord. It turned out that the 90- year-old man managed “to hang himself”… twice. The traces and abrasions on his neck clearly proved that Hess had been smothered after striking a blow on his head from behind, which caused a strange hematoma on his nape that cannot be exclaimed by suicide…2
Why was it necessary to kill the old man and committed the murder? Wolf Rьdiger, Hess’s son, did not doubt a minute that his father had been killed by the British3. The terrible secret of the British diplomacy that had stirred up Hitler to attack the USSR was never to be disclosed. The im-mediate cause of the murder was… the chattering of Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. This incompetent politician not only destroyed his own country, he also signed the Nazi-well-advanced-in-years’ death-warrant. Some po-litical groups had long demanded that Hess should be released. The USSR had always been opposed to it, sticking to the policy of incarceration the Nazi war criminals. Knowing that the Soviet Union would never consent to release Hess, Great Britain tried to play the role of “benevolent investiga-tor”, always declaring that she did not mind releasing Hess. But, with the beginning of “perestroika”, “the new thinking” approach came to dominate in Soviet politics, and Mikhail Gorbachev who did not understand any-thing in politics told his Western friends that he was ready to please them and release Hess. For Gorbachev it was an act of good will, just another characteristic feature of “socialism with a human face. But for London it was a source of numerous problems. Now that the British no longer had any foundation for keeping the dangerous old man in jail, they had to avert leakage by killing the source of information.

Rudolf Hess brought Hitler’s peace proposal to the British. Britain gave fiat to his military plans against Russia and promised to ally with him, but backed out of this promise already on June 22, 1941
All the physical evidence of the cause of Rudolf Hess’s death: the house in the garden, his furniture, the electric cord and even the Spandau Prison itself were destroyed shortly after his demise. All the log files of Hess’s case were classified by the British government till 2017. Why? What kind of information may be revealed by reading his interrogation transcripts? What does Britain have to conceal, if, as she claims, Britain had firmly re-fused to negotiate with the Nazi regime. On the contrary, such documents should be published in every newspaper and posted on every lamp pole. This would prove how progressive and democratic the Foggy Albion is. It would be a find for the British propaganda: we, the British nation, refused all the proposals of Adolf Hitler, the devil incarnate! Instead, they introduce the regime of utmost secrecy. Does it make sense? No, it does not, because there was no REFUSAL, there was AN AGREEMENT. That is what is being concealed from us…
When Hitler attacked Stalin, he was given the worst of it. He was deceived on the very first day! On the evening of the 22nd of June Churchill appeared on the BBC and said: “We are full of determination to do away with Hitler

and all the traces of the Nazi regime… Consequently we will render all-round assistance to Russia and the Russian people”1.
But the USSR did not get British assistance in adequate amounts. In the first hardest months of the British invasion England helped us verbally, not by way of arms supplies. This is clear, because at first Germany and Russia were supposed to exhaust each other, and then the Anglo-Saxons would come up onto the arena of the world war as victors. One would not be surprised reading the correspondence between Moscow and London after the beginning of the Great patriotic war, being aware of the ways of British diplomacy. England is always true to herself.
CABLE: the USSR ambassador in Great Britain To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR August 27, 1941.
Yesterday I had a serious talk with Eden concerning British assistance to the USSR. I seized the occasion and told him the following, pointing out that this is my private opinion:
1…In the period of 10 weeks the USSR has been fighting hard against the German war machine that has hammered us and only us, the mightiest war force that the world has ever seen… What has England been doing during all this period of time, while the USSR has been making strenuous efforts in the hardest struggle in its history?
In mid-July the Soviet government proposed to the British govern-ment forming a second front in the West, but for different reasons which I am not going to discuss now the British government has declined the proposal… England will not open another front and at the same time does not supply us with planes and weapons in some serious quantities. Of course, we are grateful to the British government for those 200“Toma-hawks” given us about a month ago and not yet delivered to the USSR. Bu what is the significance of that deal compared to our losses? Another example: we asked the British government to give us large bombs and the Air Force Minister in consequence of long talks finally agreed to comply with our request. But how many bombs did he give? Only six bombs — no more, no less…
What else do we have from England? We hear lot of compliments on the subject of fortitude and patriotism of the Soviet people and brilliant qualities of the Red Army. Of course, this is all pleasant to hear, but is
Taylor, A. The Second World War: Two approaches. P. 455.

Adolf Hitler’s fatal love
too immaterial. How often, when I hear such compliments, I think to myself: “We would rather they told us less compliments and gave more fighter aircraft”.
…In point of fact England at present is not so much our ally and com-rade-in-arms in the deadly struggle against Hitler’s Germany, but just a sympathizing looker-on1.
This sounds like a sad anecdote. We are helping you. We have already sent you 6 bombs, 3 submachine guns and 5 pistols. The arms will be deliv-ered by the British Navy. When? They will be delivered as soon as possible. And now let us express our sincere admiration of the courageous struggle of the Soviet people…
When do you think Great Britain and the Soviet Union become official allies in the common struggle against the Third Reich? He, who thinks that it happened on June 22, 1941, is mistaken. He, who thinks that it took another couple of weeks for signing the documents and other red tape, is mistaken in the same way.
Only May 26, 1942 saw a treaty, signed in London between the USSR and England, on forming a military alliance against Germany! For elevenwhole months the “allies” had not been committed by an alliance treaty! Before that, England was not obliged to help us and had the right to stop her help any moment. The cause of that delay is quite clear: the British waited for the situation on the Russian front to gain some perspective. When they realized that Hitler had no chance to win the war, they signed the treaty. Before that time the door for dialogue with the victorious German fuehrer was open. The Germans are killing the Russians — this is splendid. The Rus-sians are killing the Germans — this is splendid, too. It is only necessary to make sure that both have an opportunity to do the killing. That was why before 1955 Britain was not engaged in air raids on the German synthetic fuel plants and the Romanian oil fields. The USSR was in a hard situation, so they supplied the USSR with arms, according to the West Lend-Lease policy. As a result, prior to 1944, when the Anglo-Americans landed in Normandy, Russia and Germany had lost millions of their citizens. For three years running Stalin had requested, insisted and demanded that a second front
