Darkest atrocities of Nazis laid bare in secret recordings
Daily Mail ^ | 17th September 2012 | Alan Hall

'Some of the most brutal and horrifying atrocities of the Nazis at war are laid bare in secretly recorded conversations of captured German soldiers published in Britain for the first time today.

The prisoners, mostly ordinary soldiers, sailors and airmen as opposed to SS hardliners, are overheard bragging about shooting women and children for sport as well as raping and slaughtering innocent civilians.

But unbeknown to them, British and U.S. intelligence were secretly eavesdropping on their private chats.

Transcripts made from the astonishingly candid recordings sat gathering dust on the shelves of the National Archives in Kew, all but forgotten until they were picked up by historian Sönke Neitzel in 2001.

His subsequent book 'Soldiers; diaries of fighting, killing and dying', caused a sensation when it was published in Germany last year. And next week it will be published in English for the first time.'

-— Anyone thinking somehow the Germans were a unique bunch and it couldn’t happen here knows nothing of the violence of the liberal. They’d love to do it here to us. -—

Half the people you meet think that the murder of unborn babies should go unpunished.

Of course it can happen here.

And it obviously already is. They claim we should all be vegans as we “shouldn’t eat a face” but they’re willing to kill babies because they can’t see the faces.

All it takes is for a few evil leaders to promote other evil officers and empower them to perform atrocities without fear of retribution. Some men will then act as evilly as their worst angels will guide them to act, and other men will either follow their lead themselves, or at best, stay on the sidelines.

Islam was built on this principle, from Mad Mo until today. Islam empowers men to act on their worst instincts: rape, murder and enslavement in the name of allah are all condoned if they further the spread of his insane cult.

Compared to Mohammed, Adolf Hitler was an amateur. Hitler’s “Thousand Year Reich” lasted only 12 years and was utterly destroyed, while Islam is still on the march.

With Islam, the shooting has gone on for 1,400 years and I don’t see where “the academy” has done a damn thing to slow it down.

The senior officers recruit the junior to do the dirty while covering for them. Oldest trick next to prostitution. We see this arrangment all the time. It’s just a little step to them executing people.

Even today, can even get ATF agents (sworn to do the opposite), to give AK-47s to known mass-killers.

And that is in peacetime, with no war going on at home.

You already can't find a Republican who voted for Romney in the primaries.

Then who did?

On the bright side, Germans aren't having children - in 200 years even the German language will be dead... not enough narcissistic self centered Germans are having children to keep the group going..

In the same time span, neither will you or the country you live in. In fact, I would go so far as to say that civilization will be non-existant 200 years from now.......So who do you wish to applaud?

Ideas have consequences. Best to oppose them in the academy, before the shooting starts.

Wrong. Best to oppose them in churches, synagogues, street corners, on-line forums, letters to the editor, with neighbors, friends and family...and in the academy.

All true. And the Jesuits, to their credit, would send new missionaries each time. Like in the film “The Mission” about priests and indians in early Brazil.

I read a book about early explorers to the Far North called Tundra. Some were “accidental explorers,” like trappers who were captured by northern Canadian Indians. The book was a compilation of short diaries and narratives written at the time. Mostly, they were original manuscripts, written soon after the events by the actual witnesses.

One captured trapper was getting along well with his captors, who treated him like a pet. “Noble savages!” He was very content with them, for a while.

Until his happy band came upon a village of Inuit, and raided them asleep at dawn. They held down women and children, pinning them to the ground with their spears, so that they could enjoy torturing them while they writhed in screaming agony. Calling over friends to poke out each eye, etc.

Laughing merrily all the while.

This was a sudden revelation to the happy captured trapper, who concealed his revulsion until he could escape. Yeah, we European colonial exploiters have SO MUCH to apologize for......... NOT!

It wasn’t disease or starvation that kept the native populations low.

Cannibalism was well known among Indians, even in the mid 1800s, the Texas Rangers mention a successful battle against the Comanche, and how the local settlers were disturbed to find that the cooking pots that they had lent to the Indian allies of the Rangers, had been used to cook meals of Comanche flesh.

Two things that an old Indian fighter pointed out about fighting the Plains Indians that I found interesting.
http://www.amazon.com/Indians-Years-Personal-Experience-Among/dp/0879280891

One that might explain how some travelers survived, was that you don’t head for the rocks if you are in the plain, because on a plain (assuming that you anchor and take a fighting position), with you having clear rifle sighting in every direction, they will size you up, consider your meager goods versus the sure loss of their lives, and likely choose to move on, he said that if you head into some cover, that they will inevitably safely work their way close enough to kill you.

Another thing that he said, was that Indians think that each bullet is headed straight at them, that he, the individual man, will be killed. Dodge said that sometimes a man pointing a rifle at an entire group of Indians could make them all individually duck and evade. Dodge said that a white man, assumes that the odds of the bullet actually hitting him out of a mass, is slight, or is less likely to think so self consciously when seeing a rifle pointed at his group and he is less obsessed in that way.

In a world without God, men are animals.

It’s similar on the ocean. Nobody wants to get within range of a rifle or bigger weapons.

No way. I saw “Dances with Wolves.” The noble red man lived in peace and harmony with nature and one another, until the evil whites arrived in Eden and ruined it all.

It’s funny, I had never thought of that, and I forgot that you have.

I used to spend a lot of time On the Gulf of Mexico, but I was too young to be thinking in terms of avoiding bullets on a small boat with no place to hide.
