The Truth about Germany and the World Wars, Terence Smart [best ereader for pdf txt] 📗

it was Churchill’s plan to invade Norway but this failed and Chamberlain had to resign and then unbelievably they gave the position of Prime Minister to Churchill. Churchill also rejected Hitler's several peace offers. Churchill wanted war and his number one objective was to get America into the war because Britain would never have defeated Germany. I would also suggest that had the American army had its D-Day in France in 1940 then it to would have gone the same way as the French and British army and lost to the Wehrmacht.

Churchill uses Chemical Weapons

Evidence suggests that Winston Churchill was a genocidal maniac. He is fawned over in Britain and held up as a hero of the nation. He was voted ‘Greatest Briton’ of all time. But the facts are that most people do not know the real history of Churchill. When you look at Churchill he looks like someone’s sweet and kind grandfather, but you should never judge a book by the cover.

The use of chemical weapons by any country will outraged the world. But did you know that Winston Churchill was a powerful supporter for using chemical weapons and did use them. Yes this great British, so called hero wanted to kill people with Chemical weapons. That says a lot about the morality of the man and this was not his finest hour.

In 1917, following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the British occupied Iraq and established a colonial government. The Arab and Kurdish people of Iraq resisted the British occupation, and by 1920 this had developed into a full scale national revolt. Churchill then used the British RAF to bomb the Iraqis into submission. The RAF "flew missions totalling 4,008 hours, dropped 97 tons of bombs and fired 183,861 rounds for the loss of nine men killed, seven wounded and 11 aircraft destroyed behind rebel lines". The RAF bombing killed 9,000 Iraqis. This was the first use of terror bombing against civilians and would be used against Germany 20 years later. One of the RAF pilots in Iraq was Arthur Harris, who would later achieve fame directing the bomber offensive against Germany in the Second World War. Known to his friends as Bomber and to his enemies as Butcher, he first practised his trade against Kurdish villages in Iraq.

“The Arab and Kurd now know what real bombing means within 45 minutes a full-sized village can be practically wiped out, and a third of its inhabitants killed or injured, by four or five machines which offer them no real target, no opportunity for glory as warriors, no effective means of escape”. – Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris.

At the time Churchill was Secretary for War and Air. It is said that poison gas may have been used by Churchill to quell the Arab uprising.

Henry Gonzalez, US Congressman, referred to this in the House of Representatives on March 24, 1992: "But there again, where is the moral right? The first one to use gas against Arabs was Winston Churchill, the British, in the early 1920's. They were Iraq Arabs they used them against."

After the First World War Churchill was appointed as Minister of War and Air by David Lloyd George. In May 1919, Churchill gave orders for the British troops to use chemical weapons during the campaign to subdue Afghanistan. When the India Office objected to the policy, Churchill replied: "The objections of the India Office to the use of gas against natives are unreasonable. Gas is a more merciful weapon than high explosive shell and compels an enemy to accept a decision with less loss of life than any other agency of war. The moral effect is also very great. There can be no conceivable reason why it should not be resorted to."

Winston S Churchill: departmental minute (Churchill papers: 16/16) May 12 1919, War Office: “I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gases: gases can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.”

In the summer of 1919 Churchill planned and executed a sustained chemical attack on northern Russia against the Bolshevik regime using the ‘M Device’, an exploding shell containing a highly toxic gas.

It was to be used against the Red Army who were involved in fighting against invading forces hostile to the Bolshevik Jewish Revolution. He was supported in this by Sir Keith Price, the head of the chemical warfare, at Porton Down. Price said "I believe if you got home only once with the Gas you would find no more Bolshies this side of Vologda”.

British aerial attacks using the ‘M Device’ began on 27 August 1919. The Bolshevik-held villages that were attacked were: Emsta, Chunova, Vikhtova, Pocha, Chorga, Tavoigor and Zapolki. During this period 506 gas bombs were dropped on the Bolshevik Red Army. Lieutenant Donald Grantham interviewed Bolshevik prisoners about these attacks. One man named Boctroff said the soldiers "did not know what the cloud was and ran into it and some were overpowered in the cloud and died there; the others staggered about for a short time and then fell down and died".

Below is part of a memo sent by Churchill to General Ismay about the possibility of using chemical weapons (poisoned gas) against Germany. General Hastings Lionel Ismay was Winston Churchill's chief military assistant during the Second World War.

“I want you to think very seriously over this question of poison gas. I would not use it unless it could be shown either that (a) it was life or death for us, or (b) that it would shorten the war by a year. It is absurd to consider morality on this topic when everybody used it in the last war without a word of complaint. If the bombardment of London became a serious nuisance and great rockets with far-reaching and devastating effect fell on many centres of Government and labour, I should be prepared to do anything that would hit the enemy in a murderous place. I may certainly have to ask you to support me in using poison gas. We could drench the cities of the Ruhr and many other cities in Germany in such a way that most of the population would be requiring constant medical attention. We could stop all work at the flying bomb starting points. I do not see why we should have the disadvantages of being the gentleman while they have all the advantages of being the cad. There are times when this may be so but not now. I quite agree that it may be several weeks or even months before I shall ask you to drench Germany with poison gas, and if we do it, let us do it one hundred per cent. In the meanwhile, I want the matter studied in cold blood by sensible people and not by that particular set of psalm-singing uniformed defeatists which one runs across now here now there. Pray address yourself to this. It is a big thing and can only be discarded for a big reason. I shall of course have to square Uncle Joe and the President; but you need not bring this into your calculations at the present time. Just try to find out what it is like on its merits”, - Winston Churchill.

Churchill changed his mind when informed by military intelligence that Germany was capable of dropping three of four times more chemical bombs than Britain.

Churchill’s Genocidal Policies

When Mahatma Gandhi launched his campaign of peaceful resistance in the 1920s, Churchill raged that he "ought to be lain bound hand and foot at the gates of Delhi, and then trampled on by an enormous elephant with the new Viceroy seated on its back." Churchill announced: "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."

In 1943 a famine broke out in Bengal, India caused (as the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen has proved) by the imperial policies of the British. The British Army took millions of tons of rice from starving people to ship to the British army in the Middle East and Greece. Up to 4 million people starved to death while British officials begged Churchill to direct food supplies to the region. He bluntly refused. He raged that it was their own fault for "breeding like rabbits". At other times, he said the plague was "merrily" culling the population. The Viceroy of India said “Churchill’s attitude towards India and the famine is negligent, hostile and contemptuous”.

An Indian politician has put Winston Churchill in the same category as some of “the worst genocidal dictators” of the 20th century because of his complicity in the Bengal Famine. Dr Shashi Tharoor, whose new book Inglorious Empire chronicles the atrocities of the British Empire, argued the former British Prime Minister’s reputation as a great wartime leader and protector of freedom was wholly miscast given his role in the Bengal famine which saw four million Bengalis starve to death.

“This is a man the British would have us hail as an apostle of freedom and democracy, when he has as much blood on his hands as some of the worst genocidal dictators of the 20th century”, - Dr Tharoor, a former Under-Secretary of the UN.

Churchill created the Black and Tans army regiment which rampaged across Ireland in the 1920’s terrorising the Irish civilians. During the Irish War of Independence in Dublin on 21 November 1920 members of the Black and Tans opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing 14 civilians and wounding at least sixty. This was known as ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ in the famous song by Irish rock group U2. Fourteen people were killed outright or fatally wounded, including a 10-year-old boy, Jeremiah O’Leary, who was shot in the head, and John Scott, aged 14, who was also killed. So was Jane Boyle who had gone to the game with her fiance. They were due to marry five days later. Others killed included Michael Hogan, one of the players on the field. Although the Black and Tans force was deployed for only a couple of years, from 1920 to 1922, nationalist Ireland still associates it with murder, brutality and massacre. There is no dispute that the Black and Tans killed and destroyed on a large scale. When a Tan was killed in Cork, they burnt down more than 300 buildings in the city centre and afterwards proudly pinned pieces of burnt cork to their caps.

Without doubt Churchill committed war crimes but got away with it. He set Bomber Harris on the way to do the terror bombing of German cities which had no military significance whatsoever. Over 1,000,000 German civilians (mostly woman and children) were killed by these actions as well as many historical German cities reduced to rubble.

Churchill and the Jews

Churchill was also personally financed by a Jewish Focus group who paid him huge sums of money. Though he had been minister of finance, Churchill could not control his own personal finances and was always in debt. It was through his drinking, debt and his Jewish mother that he became involved and beholden to a group that would eventually become known as Focus.

This Focus group was led by Jewish industrialists Sir Bernard Waley Cohen, Sir Henry Strakosch and Leonard Montefiore, Chaim Weizmann, David Ben Guirion (future Prime Minister of Israel), Simon Marks and Israel Moses Sief.

As Churchill’s debts grew, he wrote for many Jewish-dominated newspapers but couldn’t cover his living expenses. To make matters worse, he was sued for libel by the American tabloid The Enquirer for $200,000. He now put up the family estate “Chartwell” for sale. His debts and libel problem were met by his Jewish friend Sir Henry Strakosch and other members of Focus from 1936. He was now not only beholden to, but also under the control of this Anti-German Council and now all his speeches and writings were directed against the threat of Hitler and the supposed ill treatment of the Jews by the Germans.

For his payments he had to do everything he could to wage war against Germany and this would include advising Poland not to agree any concessions with Hitler with regards to Danzig or the Polish Corridor.

The London Jews were certainly bankrolling Winston Churchill; as the official biographer of Sir Robert Waley-Cohen, Henriques, revealed, the oil magnate (Royal Dutch Shell) had headed the group which wrote a fifty thousand pound cheque to Churchill in July 1936 (two million pounds in today's terms), in
