User talk:Get-back-world-respect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The holocaust is omnipresent at school and in the media, and people are still so ashamed of it that most regard it awkward to talk about anything unjust that was done to Germans. It is a kind of taboo in Germany to speak about injustice that was done to Germans in the context of the war. In the German version I was called a Nazi when I wanted to add to Nuremberg Trials the fact that no Allied war crimes were ever tried. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/User_talk:Get-back-world-respect   (4367 words)

The War With Polan: The Military Writings and Speeches of L. Trotsky: Volume 3 We said, in reply, that we were obliged to talk with the German hangmen of Poland, that we could talk and might even, perhaps, be obliged to sign a treaty with the Polish government, as the agent of the all-powerful hangmen. But can it be doubted that there is no other government in the world which, placed in similar circumstances, would have refused to perform this imponderable, yet very substantial service to German imperialism—getting from it in return an easing of the terms of the peace treaty? Mirbach solicited us to acknowledge, directly or indirectly, that Poland, crushed beneath the Hohenzollern jackboot, was an independent, self-determined Poland. marxists.anu.edu.au /archive/trotsky/works/1920-mil/ch24.htm   (4367 words)

Innocents Abroad: 01/19/2003 - 01/25/2003 In effect, the French and Germans are forming a union amongst themselves that runs counter almost all their western allies while cozying up to the Russians, the Chinese and any other third world dictator who comes along. As I stated recently, the French and Germans have just proposed a dual presidency for the EU Commission, one that more or less would be under the control of, naturally, France and Germany. And finally, the French and Germans without consulting the rest of the EU, have now set out a position on Iraq that runs contrary to the majority of the rest of the EU states. innocentsabroad.blogspot.com /2003_01_19_innocentsabroad_archive.html   (4367 words)

Paradox Interactive Forums - Die Deutsche Saga:The Third Reich In view of the rather negative outcome of the talk, it was surprising to the Germans that the British seemed to be encouraged by it. The Germans were somewhat uneasy over Italy’s flirtation with Britain (on 2nd January, Italian Foreign Minister Ciano signed a “Gentlemen’s Agreement” with the British Government in which the two countries recognised each other’s vital interests in the Mediterranean) and they realised that the question of Austria was still a touchy subject in Rome. It would have been a much greater surprise to the British Government had it known of a highly secret meeting which Hitler had held in Berlin with his military chiefs and Foreign Minister exactly fourteen days before his conversation with Lord Halifax. www.europa-universalis.com /forum/showthread.php?t=106473   (5255 words)

Monroe Courier Donnelly gave a talk at Town Hall Monday on the history of biological and chemical warfare, and the state's preparedness for bioterrorism. Donnelly said chlorine gas was first used by Germans in World War I. The Germans had no idea how effective it would be and lacked the manpower to fully exploit it. Donnelly said that 4,000 to 10,000 spores previously were considered to be the "lethal" dose for anthrax. www.zwire.com /site/news.cfm?newsid=3609862&BRD=1348&PAG=461&dept_id=432860&rfi=6   (1292 words)

PHSC:Monthly Meeting Dec 2001 Fred Hunt - A Story of Two Images - Torpedoing the Gneisenau The Gneisenau began sinking stern first and was able to limp back to dry dock only with the aid of ships dispatched by the quick thinking Germans to tie up to the Gneisenau and keep her afloat. Seconds later a barrage was let loose by the Germans in retaliation catching the small bomber before it could escape the area. Fred started his talk showing a diagram of some British aircraft in use at the time Britain declared war against Germany in 1939. www.phsc.ca /Show_Tell_2001/Text_Files/Fred_Hunt.html   (583 words)

Areté Magazine. The Arts Tri-Quarterly. Syberberg's films on Ludwig II, mad king of Bavaria, on the writer Karl May and, most of all, on Hitler were boring flops - not because, as Gitta Sereny seems inclined to believe, the critical reception was negative, nor because 'the Germans rejected their part in Hitler&;. She is a person, furthermore, who can make people talk about things they've never wanted to talk about before. In her philosophical remarks, Gitta Sereny is an optimistic believer in the moral forces of education and 'enlightenment' by the public media. www.aretemagazine.com /print_template.jsp?id=31   (1861 words)

Propaganda in Continuation War During the early phase of the war there was talk about distributing East Karelian land to the veterans who had fought in the war, but as the war drew on, talk about crusades and land distribution petered out. As the Germans pushed on toward Moscow, the war’s end began to seem inevitable, and the Finns continually predicted a general collapse of the Soviet army, that would be forthcoming at any moment. “Continuation War” is the standard Finnish term for Finland’s war against Russia as a part of Operation Barbarossa, from 1941 to 1944. www.uta.fi /~ta76626/propaganda.htm   (3282 words)

TIME Asia Magazine: Thirst Come, Thirst Served -- Sep. 22, 2003 Our cab would follow ant lines of tricycles, one rolling in empty, one clinking out full, past packed restaurants; and there would be Germans, lots of jolly Germans, licking foam from facial hair and shouting for another round. Zhang lit a Hongtashan Gold and wanted to talk about Yanjing's business plan, "about strict control over rate of charges on assets," but I had some nagging questions: Favorite Yanjing? And so it was, down Twin Rivers Road beneath the bellies of incoming planes, where the billboards all urged yanjing and the air reeked of roasted barley. time.com /time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501030922-485797,00.html   (3282 words)

Lone Sentry: Tank Talk (German tank trends, panzer tactics, vulnerability of Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger tank) In an effort to combat attacks by tank hunters, the Germans have fitted the Tiger with S-mine dischargers, which are fired electrically from the interior of the tank. However, the Germans have a new 88-mm (3.46-inch) tank gun, the Kw. When a tank approaches, the tank hunter waits until it is close enough to the pivoted board, and, at the very last moment, he pulls the free end of the board across the road. www.lonesentry.com /tanktalk   (2697 words)

David Irving v. Daniel Goldhagen and the Usual Crowd Goldhagen utters a ninety minute tirade against the "ordinary Germans" who he claims were fully aware of what was going on, and were willing and indeed eager to make up the firing squads when it came to getting rid of the Jews. Goldhagen finally rambles to a conclusion – mid-sentence, mid-paragraph, in fact mid-lecture for all anybody can tell, since the whole talk is utterly shambolic from start to finish, without starting point, mile-markers, or objective. His talk is disappointingly bland – delivered without notes in a disconcertingly gentle, laid-back voice, at such a slow and hesitant pace that one wonders whether he suffers perhaps from some chromosome defect that the newspapers have been too polite to mention. www.heretical.com /miscella/irving1.html   (1638 words)

afrol News - Namibia's Damara want inclusion in 1904 genocide debate Theo Gurirab, a member of the organising committee, said Damaras were enslaved and sold to Cape Town and other places, yet no one mentioned them in the genocide talk. He said the meeting would mainly be a platform for historians and Germans to inform them about how the Damaras were affected by the 1904 genocide. Chif /Gaseb, Damara leader Chief Justus //Garoeb and others have called a meeting for leaders, historians and informed Germans at Okombahe in the hope of shedding more light on how the Damara people were affected by the war. www.afrol.com /printable_article/15321   (570 words)

Schroeder ripped for opposing monument The San Diego Union-Tribune The head of the League of German Expellees, Erika Steinbach, said she would push ahead for the creation in Berlin of the monument that has angered Poles, who see it as a bid to rewrite history by portraying Germans as victims of a war they started. BERLIN – A group representing millions of Germans expelled from the east of the defeated Third Reich in 1945 criticized Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder yesterday for opposing a monument to their suffering and rejecting claims against Poland. Schroeder, trying to repair German-Polish ties hurt by talk of claims and disagreement over the Iraq war, flew to Poland on Sunday to pay tribute to the Warsaw uprising against Nazi occupation 60 years ago in which 200,000 Warsaw residents were killed. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20040803/news_1n3germany.html   (526 words)

He is one of 15 million ethnic Germans who were pushed out of their homes in Eastern Europe by the Polish and Czech governments as retribution for Nazi aggression.

POLISH NEWS - PN Interview Page - Jedwabne Without Stereotypes... TS: The pogrom of Jedwabne was one of the so- called self-purging actions, which was inspired by the Germans and supervised by the Germans, but which was physically performed by the locals, in this case the Polish population of Jedwabne. There are other documents that talk about pogroms.

BBC News Archive Is it ever enough to say you're sorry? BERNARD It most certainly is and I find that most Germans find it easier to talk to a non-German about these things than they do to other Germans. ROBIN If it is a government, a state that has committed the wrong no matter how long ago it was isn_t there a point for the successor government to say, we recognise that what was done was wrong. Neil Taylor in Hong Kong says part of the problem is that the majority of young Japanese don_t even know what atrocities were committed against fellow Asians and POWs as their history books are doctored to show a different story. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/events/newstalk/archive/226726.stm   (1691 words)

On the Media - A Public Betrayed And this is not dissimilar than if you were to go to Germany today and talk to educated Germans and have them tell you, you know, the issue about whether or not the Holocaust occurred is still up for debate. If you interview even well-established Japanese journalists and talk to them about issues such as the Nanjing Massacre or the enslavement of 200,000 comfort women by the Japanese military, many of them will say point blank to you, well you know, these issues are up for historical debate. So, the U.S. has done a lot not to disassemble the fundamental aspects of the Japanese news media that existed pre-World War II, and which was formed by the Japanese militarists in an attempt to control their population's flow of information. onthemedia.org /transcripts/transcripts_100104_nihon_atrocities.html   (1365 words)

Talk about the Lorentz cipher The Germans were so convinced that the Lorentz links were completely secure that on at least two occasions they sent the next month's setting sheets via the radio link and they were broken. Bill Tutt and the research section worked out, over the next two to three months, the complete logical structure of the Lorentz cipher machine without ever having seen it, from that one mistake the Germans made. He set up his Lorentz cipher machine and sent a 12 letter indicator by radio to the operator at the other end to tell him the exact settings he was about to use on the Lorentz system. www.zamboodle.demon.co.uk /rss/lorentz.htm   (1365 words)

Ich will Zeugnis ablegen bis zum letzten, 1933-1945 Klemperer tried to talk her out of it and called for help to have her revived when she overdosed on Veronal. Klemperer records--as much as his restricted situation allowed--the attitude of the everyday German toward the Nazis, the war, toward the Jews and the Germans' treatment of them.

Salon Directory In the bunker, where Junge was exempt from the shortages of the war and from the realities ordinary Germans encountered, the talk, particularly Hitler's talk and the chatter of those around him, would be in grand terms rather than specifics. Junge does claim she did not know the extent of what was done to the Jews until after the war, and because of the weird, removed circumstances she was in, it's not hard to believe her. The subject is as much Junge in the present (she was 81 when the interviews were conducted in the spring of 2001; she died last year, the day after the film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival) as what she witnessed during the early 1940s. www.salon.com /ent/movies/review/2003/01/31/blind_spot/print.html   (1243 words)

TIME Magazine Archive Article -- Game's End -- Apr. 03, 1944 As the Russians crossed the Prut and the Germans rumbled over the level Hungarian plain and through the Transylvanian Alps to stop them, one political fact stood out: the long Allied finagle to talk the Balkans out of the war had failed. Last week the Germans pointedly announced that Rumania's docile Marshal Ion Antonescu and his younger, tougher namesake, Vice-Premier Mihai Antonescu (no kin), had made the pilgrimage to Hitler, that Bulgaria's three regents had followed in their path. The week before, the Antonescus had still been trying to whisper in Allied ears that they only wanted an opportunity to show their hidden love of liberty. strweb1-12.websys.aol.com /time/archive/preview/0,10987,850408,00.html   (1243 words)

Salon.com Books "Defying Hitler" by Sebastian Haffner Haffner's endorsement of the idea that even dictators are powerless without the consent (or at least the passivity) of the masses means that "Defying Hitler" has no time for quibbling about how much the Germans knew and when; he was there shortly before World War II broke out, after all. Haffner takes it for granted that Germans knew about the brutality of Nazi rule -- brutality that, logically, would only increase as the state consolidated its power -- and that they lacked the will to resist it. Again and again in "Defying Hitler" Haffner's acquaintances talk of the Nazis as clowns who, because they cannot help revealing their true natures, are destined to fall out of power. www.salon.com /books/review/2002/09/03/haffner   (978 words)

492 All this talk of atrocities committed by the germans in early wwi is getting me down, especially since it has brought up earlier american civil war points. The American writer Edith Wharton set up homes for Belgian refugees and her letters frequently mention individual Belgian civilians who suffered reprisals at the hands of the Germans, such as, in one instance that comes to mind: a man who had his hands cut off. The diaries detailed the mass execution of civilians, plundering & incenderism, the use of civilians as "human shields" in attacks, and the issuing of verbal orders to soldiers to "finish off" wounded French prisoners and to refuse to accept the surrender of British soldiers. www.wwi-models.org /1/mail-archive/archive.1997/492   (978 words)
