Things They Never Taught You About World War II
Hint: It Wasn't "The Good War"
August 28, 1999
To discuss this article go to
http://www.libertariansocialist.com/cgi-bin/bbmat.cgi?script=military
Silver Spring, MD -- we all know how conservatives have lied and told us
that World War II was "the good war". Well, it wasn't. And for all of
you taking American history classes this fall, here are some facts you
may want to have addressed.
1) Both Generals Eisenhower (American Commander in Europe) and
MacArthur (American Commander in the Pacific) had been responsible for
the massacre of protesting World War I veterans during the 1930s. In
1932, both Eisenhower and MacArthur participated in a an US Army attack
on World War I Veterans protesting for back pay and benefits. Their
troops opened fire on the protesters, killing several, and set their
meager possessions and makeshift camps on fire.
In other words, these two "American heroes" had no compulsion
against killing war veterans to maintain the control of the ruling
class. Eisenhower's role in this was part of the inspiration for the
Anti-Flag song "Die For You Government" (Lyrics: "First World War
veterans slaughtered by General Eisenhower, Give them your life, they
give you a stab in the back."). The role of MacArthur is detailed on
HistoryChannel.com's website.
2) The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not a sneak attack.
In November, 1942, the US Government sent a war ultimatum to Japan,
saying that if it did not give up all territory it has occupied and
return to its 1936 borders that the United States intended to declare
war. In December, 1942, the Japanese responded to US threats by bombing
Pearl Harbor. In short, Pear Harbor was not a sneak attack on an
unsuspecting America, but a response to US threats of aggression and
imperialism. The idea that it was a sneak attack was a propaganda
technique used to excite the American populace.
3) The shortage of good in America during World War II was not due to
the war effort but due to the deliberate actions of the US Army to raise
consumer prices and increase profits.
The taxes, the debt, and the shortage of good that occurred during
World War II were created not as a necessary expenditure of resources
for the war effort but as a deliberate plot by the US Army, in
conspiracy with major corporations and banks, to raise consumer prices
and create a feeling of scarcity and need. This is detailed in Gus
Hall's book Working Class USA, where he describes how he participated in
an Navy program to destroy raw materials and manufactured goods on the
island of Guam for the express purpose of raising consumer prices and
creating a scarcity of good in homeland America. He further describes
how this program was part of an agreement between the Army and several
major manufacturers of consumer goods to increase profits for American
corporations by decreasing the availability of consumer goods and raw
materials.
In other words, all those people who scrimped and saved pennies and
raised Victory Gardens didn't do it because there was any real shortage
of goods, but because a shortage of goods was created artificially by
the US military in conjunction with the US ruling class.
4) The Allied powers, particularly the United States, committed a
holocaust against Germans and people of German descent that was not only
just as deliberate but larger than the Holocaust the Germans committed
against the Jews.
Six million Jews were killed by Nazis in World War II. 4 Million
more were rounded up and placed in concentration camps, and had their
property confiscated.
Seven point three million Germans, 3.8 million soldiers, 3.5 million
civilians, were killed during World War II. As many as five million
more were killed after the war during the Allied occupation, between
1945 and 1949. At least 12 million people of German descent were
rounded up and placed into concentration camps. 3.5 million Germans
were tried and convicted of purely political crimes (meaning they didn't
kill anyone, didn't run concentration camps, didn't do anything but hold
a membership card in a Nazi organization -- something which was almost
required of citizens living in Nazi Germany).
Let's be more specific: The Allies deliberately murdered German
civilians. The German deliberately destroyed Jewish neighborhoods. The
United States and the Western Allies deliberately destroyed entire
German cities. The firebombing of Dresden is the best known deliberate
targeting of German cities, but other deliberate massacres of German
civilians. All German civilians were not Nazis. The US deliberately
murder German children. They deliberately attempted to exterminate
German population centers. In other words, the Untied States was as
guilty of genocide during the war as the Nazi regime.
After the war, the United States adopted a policy of
"deindustrialization", This is something which had never, in human
history, been attempted before. The Nazis didn't do this to France, or
Poland. The Soviets didn't even have the stomach to carry through on it
with the zeal of the Americans.
What the Americans did was deliberately destroy all German industry,
meaning they deliberately destroyed not only the means of producing
armaments, but also the means of producing clothing, housing, and food.
Millions of Germans, already living in a devastated nation, with their
population centers destroyed, starved. When the Germans began starving,
the Allies then passed a law forbidding the importation of food. This
starvation continued for four years. When the Germans threatened to
revolt, the Allied governors threatened to murder the entire
population. In other words, the United States turned Germany into a
giant concentration camp and then starved to death millions of people of
German descent, Nazis or not.
Further, the allies rounded up all people of German descent living
outside the borders of Germany, approximately twelve million Germans,
confiscated their homes and all their property, and forced them into
camps in the new political boundaries of Germany, where they starved
with their fellow Germans. In other words, the US Army seized the
property of millions of civilians who had had nothing to do with the
Nazi party, dispossessed them solely because of their ethnic origins,
and then rounded them into camps where they were starved.
Further again, the US engaged in a policy of "denazification" that
it eventually had to give up because of the absolute lawlessness of what
was going on. "Denazification" was not limited to the Nuremberg trials
(see below), but targeted rather 3.5 million Germans who had held
membership in any Nazi-backed organization. "Denazification" would have
been the equivalent of "derepublicanization" in America,
"delaborization" in Britain, or "decommunization" in the Soviet Union.
In a country ruled by a one-party dictatorship(Third Reich, Soviet
Union), or a two-party dictatorship (America and Britain), many
civilians join that Party to preserve their lives. So, many innocent
Germans who had joined Nazi organizations because they lived in a
one-Party Nazi dictatorship that forced them too, were dispossess of
their property and/or placed in jail for trying to survive under the
Nazi regime.
In addition, the US seized rights to all German copyrights and
patents and turned those copyrights and patents over to US companies,
making US companies rich.
And last but not least, the Nuremberg trials, of which allies like
the US and Britian are supposed to be so proud, were provided over by a
Soviet communist judge.
So, in some, the US deliberately acted in a lawless manner in its
occupation of Germany, and committed a Holocaust against the German
people that was as much as twice as great as the Holocaust the Germans
committed against the Jews.

and the entire "hate" and "anti-hate" movement.
