It was more the British heavy handed response after the war that caused the mutinies and outrage.
The Japanese treated the Indians National Army rather shabbily for being allies.
In Himmler’s world if one did not receive JW’s at the door cheerfully at 9:00 am on a Saturday morning they would have had the right to shoot you and burn your house down.
I do not believe hardly any of this, especially the parts about India. While the idea of shooting Gandhi might have been true, keep in mind a LOT of people wanted him dead including major Hindu “leaders” and politicized Hindu right-wing.
I do not believe anything about making Brit men slaves, some might have been just threats to try and embolden allies including some in India. No way did Hitler ever want to enslave native British peoples in a racial sense. Now if National Socialism is a totalitarian government, yes you could say “enslave”. But not racially enslave, I don’t believe this at all.
In fact, Hitler had MANY allies among the Muslims. In the end, however, the National Socialist religious genre was mostly pagan, even occult in some manners, not Muslim at all. National Socialism was also, not entirely, but largely secularist and actually didn’t trust a lot of Christians. However, National Socialism, due to it’s secularist nature, would have turned on the Muslims 100% sure of that.
Hitler was surprisingly pro-Muslim
Of course he was, since Mein Kamph is the Germanic plagiarized version of the koran.
In other words, they were about the religious equivalent of today’s leftists - distrustful of Christianity, mostly secular, a little new-agey, with some more freakish members dabbling thoroughly in the occult, as was contemporaneously happening in England and America as well, as far as that goes.
I don’t believe a word of them giving land to the Indians. I read recently that they based their blueprint of how to genocide a continent on the Manifest Destiny movement of the USA in the mid 1800s.
Dr. Oberth is also considered the father of the modern multistage rocket and the goal of landing a man on the Moon and Mars.
I had just turned 20 the month before the US landed on the Moon. The week after the Moon landing all of the US news organizations were searching for Oberth to get his take on actually reaching his dream and could not find him; he seemed to have disappeared right after watching the Kennedy Space Center launch of the Saturn V rockets boosting Apollo 11 without speaking to news reporters.
I knew that his son worked for Aerojet General in Rancho Cordova, CA, a suburb of Sacramento, because one of my high school friends' father was a colleague of Oberth's son. They both lived in the same neighborhood. I looked in the Sacramento phone book and found an Oberth listing (I don't recall the first name for sure, but I think it was Georg) in the correct area. An older man with a heavy German accent answered the phone so I took a chance and asked "Is this Dr. Hermann Oberth?"
"Ja," he replied. "I am Herr Hermann Oberth."
I later learned he was actually proud of not originally earning a doctorate after having his doctoral thesis rejected by his original advisor for being too outlandish. He wound up teaching high school physics due to that lack. . . but out performed all of the "doctors" in astronautics and rocketry in his milieu. He finally earned his doctorate later but from the Romanian University in Cluj, but apparently preferred to not have the title used because of the "broken" nature of the educations system where hidebound advisors could block the advancement of their more brilliant students.
I introduced myself and explained I represented Pace Magazine (a now defunct Life sized magazine) and asked if he would be willing to be interviewed for their upcoming issue on the Moon landing. He agreed. (Incidentally, I didn't represent Pace at all, I'd never even talked to them. . . but I thought I could present them with a faìt accompli.) To my complete surprise, Dr. Oberth was enthusiastic about such an interview and agreed.
As soon as I hung up from talking at length to Dr. Oberth, I got on the phone and called Pace Magazine in Los Angeles and asked to talk to their senior editor. . . and told him who I had found. They flew up three people the next day and conducted the interview. The next issue's coverI think it was the September issuehad the Astronaut with astronaut photographer reflection photo from the Moon and the headline "There Is Life on the Moon. . . We Put It There." and a smaller sub headline "An Exclusive Interview With Dr. Hermann Oberth, the Father of Space Travel."
Pace Magazine never got the circulation to survive, unfortunately and foundered a couple of years after that. I can find only two Pace Magazine cover images on the Internet, neither one showing that cover. This is the January 1969 cover.
Pace did fly me to Los Angeles in September and gave me a tour of their facilities and offered me a job as an intern, which I declined.
Even without the RAF any German invasion of England was bound to fail. They simply didn’t have the capability for such a seaborne invasion, and the Royal Navy would have sacrificed every ship if need be to sink the invasion fleet.
The chance was so small that the Brits shipped almost every tank they had to Egypt for Operation Compass at the height of the Battle of Britain.
I think some LSD might have been involved among those who thought up that one.
At first I thought you meant Himmler’s world would give you the right to shoot the JW’s at your door at 9:00 AM on a Saturday morning. Then I read it again and was sooo disappointed.
Pre WWII Use Of Swastika by U.S.Army Air Corps
Not surprising at all - once you actually understand that all fascism, including NAZI and Mohammedan, is leftist and totalitarian. They are sympatico.
Thank you! I am an amateur aviation historian, and I never knew that.
The Germans had a strange love to the American Indians do to the Karl May old west books... Hitler was a big fan
but it also fit with the Nazi “Eco-Green” and noble savage concept
Largely sounds much like liberals today.
Sounds much like liberals today.
Hillary had a similar plan then was Trumped.
