Churchill, the best politician Jewish money can buy.
This key post will describe the machinations of a Jewish funded group called 'Focus' with Churchill as it's figurehead who managed to bring Britain in a war with Germany and thus was responsible for starting WW2.
Everything started with an intriguing quote from David Irving about Focus:
This was as much as I could find about the secret dealings of Britain's greatest traitor in history, ever.
Until I found this book (2nd print 2009). I read it and summarized it for you so that you don't have to.
This is the author, Stefan Scheil.
This book brings it all right in the open. As early as 1934 Churchill was speaking about the necessity of war against Nazi-Germany. And in the end it was not Nazi-Germany that was the real problem but Germany itself. Scheil wanted to know why Chamberlain, the 'champion of appeasement' was not able to avoid war with Germany, although he was convinced until the very end that Hitler's offers were acceptable. The answer was found in a group called 'World Non Sectarian Anti/Nazi Council for the Defence of Freedom and Peace to Champion Human Rights' or Focus for short (the original name was American League for the Defense of Jewish Rights), a confederation of liberals, conservatives, Jews, lefties and church people against Nazi Germany. It was an international organisation of groups from 20 countries and headed by Samuel Untermeyer, founded 1936 in Amsterdam.
Here a summary of theses from the book:
- German antisemitism was not unique. In Poland the government pursued similar (emigration) policies like in the 3rd Reich.
- Poland in 1932 signed a non-aggression treaty with the USSR to gain freedom of action for a war against Germany.
- The USSR prepared for an assault against Europe from the beginning of it's existence.
- From 1933 onwards elements within the US government, including Roosevelt, were aiming for regime change in Germany.
- In Britain Chamberlain was willing for an accommodation with Hitler. The NS-government (via ambassador Ribbentrop) aimed for a German-British alliance (911I: until 1941, Rudolf Hess)
- Churchill constituted the anti-Chamberlain war party. It was a minority position but in the end in 1939 was very effective. The Focus was decisive to get Britain into war against Germany.
- Germany after the Austrian Anschluss and Munich agreement was 'saturated' as laid down in the Hossbach Protokol (911I: exit Lebensraum baloney).
- By the end of 1938/beginning 1939 major changes in the US politics brought the country on war path with Germany due to the actions of Jewish networks. Key to this event are the reports by Polish ambassador Potocki.
- The Focus group had direct influence of bringing about the fatal British war guarantee for Poland by a campaign of disinformation suggesting that Germany was about to invade Rumania (Tilea case). In a secret annex parts of East-Germany were promised to Poland in case of war.
- Until the last moment Britain and Germany tried to negotiate an alliance, even after the pact between Germany and Russia, but this was prevented by the inner political situation in Britain.
- The Soviet aim behind the non-aggression pact with Germany was it's long term strategy of provoking war in Europe between the 'capitalist states'
- The last deed of the Focus network was the obstruction of German-Polish talks before September 1 (Churchill, Duff Cooper) and launching the lie in the world press that Germany never had handed over proposals to Poland.
After the war Chamberlain told Joseph Kennedy that "America and the World Jews had pushed Britain into the war". Kennedy told this later to James Forrestal (Diaries, p121).
The Death of James Forrestal.
Kennedy: "neither the French or British were inclined to war, were it not for the constant pressure from Washington"... Roosevelt had instructed Kennedy to put as much iron as possible into Chamberlains back.
Chief prosecutor Robert Jackson had declared before the NMT during negotiations in London that: "'Who’s talking about a fair trial? Of course the Germans will try to accuse the Allies of pursuing a policy that forced them into war. I expect that, since I know about the documents seized from the German Foreign Office. They all come to the same conclusion: "We have no way out. We must fight; we are encircled; we are being strangled:" Well, it would be a catastrophe if this trial got into a discussion about the political and economic causes of the war. That could cause an unending disaster in both America and Europe . . . ."
Ribbentrop reminded the NMT court that Churchill had said that: "when Germany becomes too strong again we will destroy it again". The court dismissed this as irrelevant since Churchill had been an insignificant private person at the time he had said it.
During the NMT not a single document could be produced showing that the war against Poland or even Russia had been planned all along.
Regardless how many millions of people became victim of the Soviet regime, Stalinism and Marxism always found a retorical connection to the themes of Democracy and Human Rights. It was cynical but it was political effective.
Poland explicitly supported the German antisemitic policies.
Antisemitism was not the reason for the start of the war in 1939. The real reasons were:
- Polish nationalism
- Soviet dream of a red planet
- traditional Germanophobia in Britain
- political pressure from Washington (on Poles, British and French)
The news that the Nazis had ascended to power caused a shock for American Jewry. March 27 1933 Stephen Wise organized rally in Madison Square Garden calling for a boycott of German trade. Two days later Hitler responded saying that a Jewish war against Germany could hit the Jews in return. Internally however Hitler uttered his concern about the enormous Jewish international influence and said that for the time being he would bow for this pressure.
Goodwill tour through the US by Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler's central bank president.
He met Roosevelt and even Jewish organisations explaining the German Jewish policies, a meeting Louis Brandeis tried to prevent.
For Stephen Wise it was clear from the start that a war with NS-Germany was 'inevitable'. According to Wise there should be no regard for the fate of the German Jews as a result of a possible war. Likewise he was against any agreement with Nazi-Germany about emigration of Jews from Germany, like the Haavara agreement.
This agreement was a catalyst for the increased Jewish emigration to Palestine. The state of Israel would never have existed without this agreement with the Nazis.
One of the most important Jewish organizations opposing the NS-regime was the American Jewish Committee (AJC).
The AJC did not support Zionism, neither the anti-German boycott measures proposed by Wise. The AJC became the first address for calls for help from Germany. Also the AJC was instrumental in creating an anti-German public opinion, for instance by creating biased annotated versions of Mein Kampf and distribute them to press and media (Hitler's mentioning of millions of people killed in the USSR was not included; falsifications like that Hitler announced world conquest). Strong connections between AJC and New York Times via owner Cyrus L. Sulzberger.
After it became clear that the boycott measures would not lead to the envisioned collapse of Nazi-Germany, so it was decided to form a political organization of which Winston Churchill was asked to be the figurehead, so Churchill was not the originator.
The organization World Anti-Nazi Council (later Focus) was the result of a conversation between trade unionist Walter Citrine and Samuel Untermeyer.
One of the most active and important members of the Focus and very influential in bringing the war about was Henry Wickham Steed.
Steed worked in the border area between journalism and politics. It is surprising that he is so little known. He had contacts to the highest circles. Already before and during WW1 he had been active fighting what he called Pangermanism. Steed was Germanphobe to the core. Besides he had sympathies for the Zionist movement. In 1914 he became 'foreign editor' of The Times, responsible for the foreign policy positions of that paper. Also he was in Versailles involved (as in responsible) in the dismemberment of Austria-Hungary and the construction of the articial states Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Later it became clear that Steed had received considerable sums from the Serbian government for his printed opinions. In addition Steed received large sums from the Czech government as well. For Steed journalism was little more than an instrument of manipulating public opinion. Despite his Zionism (or maybe because of it) he was a hard code anti-semite, although his opinions were rather common in the British establishment of those days. (911I: Zionism can be interpreted as: 'every Jew who is in Israel is not here'). There is hardly any doubt that politicians like Churchill, Chamberlain or Lloyd George considered Jewish influence in Washington as a fact of life.
During the early years of WW1 the majority of the Jews was on the side of Germany, for the simple reason that they say better possibilities in Germany. Nachum Goldmann, the later president of the Jewish World Congress, wrote in 1916 that: "the future world culture would be German... and that the larger part of the Jewish people were on the side of Germany". The hope thereby was that Germany would be able to give the Jews a new fatherland. Zionist headquarters at the time was in Berlin. This all changed dramatically when the British decided to make an offer the Jews could not refuse in order to pull the Jews on their side by offering them Palestine. That was a move with monumental consequences. It was Steed who had made the contact with Zionists like Nachum Sokolov, Chaim Weizmann and Dr. Greenberg. The hope from the side of the British establishment was that this would bring the Americans in the war on their side. Counter parts in the US were Stephen Wise and Louis Brandeis. Both these men were most instrumental in influencing the US government, without which the Balfour-declaration would have been unthinkable.
During the last months of the war Steed generated propaganda to hasten the collapse of Germany.
The meeting, where the ruin of Germany was prepared and for which the Jews were 100% responsible, took place on February 1917 in the residence of Dr. Moses Gaster. Present were: sir Mark Sykes, Lord Rothschild, Herbert Bentwich, Joseph Cowen, James de Rothschild, Harry Sacher, Herbert Samuel, Chaim Weizmann and Sokolow.

In 1917 things looked dark for the allies: Russia was in revolutionary turmoil, big mutanies in the French army; the winning of a new ally was essential.
Within Jewry it were the Zionists who had broken with 'Pangermanism'. Before the possibility of the deal about Palestine, the Jews were during WW1 often seen as 'German agents', hence Steed's antisemitism. Steed btw embraced the notion of 'Jewish Bolshevism'.
In 1918 everywhere in Europe the Jewish press made a U-turn and not only ended political support for Germany but even opened a polemic offensive against everything German and pleaded for unconditional capitulation.
So who was member of Focus? Industrialists, financiers, trade unionists, journalists, bishops, civil servants. Three Nobel price winners, Austin Chamberlain (brother of Neville) and 3 future PM's: Churchill, Atlee and Eden (all the PM's of 1940-1957). Wilson Harris (Spectator), Martin Kingsley (New Statesman) And the mentioned Wickham Steed and 'sympathiser' Robert Vansittart. But the guardian and main sponsor was Robert Waley Cohen.
The explicit goal of the Focus was to replace Chamberlain with Churchill and bring Britain into war with Germany.
Shortly after the Jalta conference Churchill stated in public that Germany would not need it's eastern territories since 6-7 million Germans were going to die anyway in the coming year. That was still less than Roosevelt's adviser Samuel Rosenman had stated in spring 1945 in London when he said that 20 million Germans were going to die.
Churchill loves war like flies like the ace - Lloyd George
You know it is true, Citrine, Winston dreamed of war during his entire life - Stanley Baldwin
During his 'wilderness years' in the thirties, Churchill lived in financial dependency. His political career was financed by others. But also in private he was dependent. Many biographers find that difficult to admit. There was this businessman Sir Henry Strakosch, of Czech/Jewish descend, who offered to cover Churchill's losses for a period of 3 years. And there was a good reason since Churchill had followed the bad investment advice of his old friend Bernard Baruch.
In spring 1938 Churchill was facing insolvency. It is highly unlikely that the 2 Jewish moneymen (Strakosch and Cohen) did not want favors in return of their money. Maybe it was not to be seen as a direct bribe but merely as a reward for the Jew-friendly policies of Churchill, who need not be persuaded anyway. But it certainly was against the rules and blatant corruption. It could (and should) have cost Churchill's career. Germany needed to be destroyed, that was his conviction, and that conviction attracted Jewish money thus enabling him to implemented these policies while avoiding bankruptcy. But nevertheless Churchill was owned by Cohen. Focus did not get money to be spend freely. Cohen himself edited meticulously the speeches by Churchill. And Churchill was very accommodating towards his masters. For Churchill Focus was the only way to power, as a PM and war hero. This attitude was irresponsible, selfish. Politicians like Lloyd George and Baldwin used sharp words related to Churchill's lust for war. Chamberlain, somewhat more reserved, saw Churchill as an adult child. Nazism was superficially his enemy, his real enemy was Germany. And he said it to everyone who wanted to hear it.
It was Churchill who reminded the Cabinet that it had been the American Jews who had brought the Americans into the war in return for Palestine [Meeting of War Cabinet, 27. December 1939, minutes in Cab 65/2]
And there was no illusions what Focus was about. Churchill wrote to his son Randolf: "the bases of the Anti-Nazi League is of course the anger of the Jews about the persecutions in Germany". Focus membership itself was not dominantly Jewish. the money was intended to mobilize already present political will. The first big success for Focus (Churchill, Vansittart) was to torpedo the efforts of German ambassador von Ribbentrop to come to a German-British alliance. As a consequence von Ribbentrop reported to Hitler that in Britain a war of aggression was prepared against Germany.
After the war Churchill wrote 12 volumes about the war. It contained not a single reference to Focus. In 1963 it was Eugen Spier who published a book about the mood which had brought Britain into war. He confirmed that Churchill had not been the master of his editorials and newspaper articles and that Cohen had been the final editor. Also, before important speeches in parliament, Churchill always asked Cohen for a concept about what he should say. Like with the debate of 20 July 1937 about Palestine. Churchill got the speech delivered by Cohen, who had written it the night before. Churchill spoke it as printed to great satisfaction of Cohen, who informed Felix Warburg in the US about it. Only when Churchill became PM, he distanced himself from Cohen and made sure that Cohen did not get responsible positions, much to the dismay of Cohen.
Even after the great success of the Munich agreement, Hitler declared that if in Britain people like Churchill, Cooper or Eden would rise to power, they immediately would start a world war.
The first meeting of Focus was in November 1936 in the Royal Albert Hall in London. All the names mentioned earlier were present, including 20 parliamentarians. Sir Waley Cohen was seated on the podium. The notifications in the press had made it clear that Churchill was to be the central figure. Two organizations were mentioned as associated with the Focus: Jewish Board of Deputies and the United Synagogue; Cohen played a leading role in both organizations.
Against this background wrote Goebbels in his diary: "everything in England is against us, first of all Eden and Vansittart. Some openings with some conservatives. Ribbentrop has difficult job. How can we move things in England?... Press and cinema in Jewish hands. Strong Bolshevik influence".
Meanwhile was Montague Bell appointed to start a letter campaign to work on the British press in an anti-Nazi way. In 1937 the "Focus Publishing Company" was founded.
The Polish ambassador in London, Raczynski had strong ties with Churchill and it was Focus and him who brought the British government over the threshold to war, as he writes in his memoirs. His colleague in Berlin Lipski said in the morning of 31. August 1939 that he was not interested in German offers, since Polish troops would be on their way to Berlin.
Around New Year 1940 Churchill produced a memorandum presented to the cabinet about the 'American Zionist Organization and His Majesty's Government Policy in Palestine'. In it he reminded his readers that it had been American Jews who had brought America into the war in 1917. He confirms the deal made between the British establishment and the Jews as laid down in the Balfour Declaration, just as Benjamin Freedman later had said. Churchill suggested that it was important the get the Jews on the side of Britain once again. Weizmann already had said that he wanted to transfer 3-4 million Jews to Palestine after the war and Churchill had given him the green light for it. Churchill urgently recommended the Cabinet to allow immigration of Jews to Palestine.
Important was the trip that Wickham Steed undertook to America, in that it mobilized the American media for war preparation and creating a corresponding mood in the country. For this purpose Steed visited people like Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the NYT. Also he held a speech before the Council of Foreign Relations, one of the highest circles within the American Foreign Policy establishment. On October 12 he met foreign minister Cordell Hull and finally Roosevelt himself. After that Steed went to meet the New York Jewish Committee. Finally the kickoff meeting was held to form an American counter part of Focus, the Anti-Nazi Council. Present were people like Bernard Baruch, several high-ranking media officials and Felix Warburg.
In the spring of 1939 Poland was in an optimistic mood. The leadership believed that it was in a good position for a conflict with Germany, not in the least because of the international treaties (with France and Britain). 23 January 1938 foreign minister Beck and ambassador Raczynski met with Churchill who clearly distanced himself from current British policies of looking for a balance between the 4 most important European states. Churchill made it clear he wanted to see Poland part of an alliance of western countries against fascism. He also hinted at the crucial part the US were going to play. This nurtured the idea in Warsaw that far reaching goals could be realized for Poland, namely in Lithuania and East-Prussia. The first materialized within a week after the unification of Austria and Germany, without a peep from the western powers.
Meanwhile Focus published the book 'Europe and the Czechs', written by Sheila Grant Duff and was distributed with more than 187,000 copies, an enormous number. Duff passed on Churchill's message that war with Germany was inevitable and that the Sudeten-Germans should not have the right of self determination. You will remember that Czechoslovakia was an artificial creation by the allies in Versailles with the aim of crippling Germany. The country imploded at the first opportunity after the fall of communism. Meanwhile Churchill himself had started a campaign in Britain to bring about an alliance with the... USSR, which itself was allied with Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia itself there was no will of putting up a fight against Germany. The game that Churchill played with Poland in 1939 and brought Britain into the declaration of war of 1939, did not yet succeed with Czechoslovakia. The difference was that the Polish government was determined to fight were the Czechoslovakian government was not.
On the 21. of May the English press started to print (false) news about the mobilization of German troops with the intention of attacking Czechoslovakia. The news originated from the Czechoslovakian military leadership. The false news was produced to generate French-British support and to frustrate negotiations with the Hodza-Sudetendeutsche Partei. As a consequence Czechoslovakia started a real mobilization of it's own forces. Germany meanwhile strongly denied the rumors of it's mobilization.
August 1938 can be identified as the first moment where the British government for the first time tried to win the Polish government for anti-German policies. Duff Cooper (first Lord of the Admiralty) sailed to Poland and had a meeting with foreign minister Beck. Other Focus members were on board as well. During these days the Anglo-Polish alliance began to take shape. According to the diary of Diana Cooper Beck had not been sober for a minute during this 2 day meeting. This meeting however was not recorded in the documents of British Foreign Policy. The Munich Agreement temporarily disturbed the beginning relationship.
From Duff Cooper's diary recording Churchill's reaction to the Munich agreement: "Winston came this afternoon to see me. He was in a state of great excitement and very severe in his condemnation of Chamberlain. I explained him the situation, like I saw it and encouraged him to hope for war, and that was what he wanted..."
On September 29, 1938, Focus printed 1,000,000 leaflets to create an Chamberlain mood. Bruenig, the German ex-chancellor in exile remembered what Churchill had said to him: "what we want is the total destruction of the German economy". I replied: "that means that you have to build up the country again as a support against the Russians".
Czechoslovakia was brought into being by the allies. It dissolved because of the lack of will of these same allies to defend it. There was no case against the demands of the Sudeten-Germans. Munich turned into a symbol of a missed opportunity of stopping the Germans pursuing world conquest. In reality the Hossbach Protokol clearly shows that with the Anschluss of Austria and the Czech lands Germany was 'satiated' for 1-3 generations. For the usual speculations that Hitler wanted to conquer territory in the Ukraine lacks any foundation. Bohemia had been part of the German lands for centuries and for a third populated with Germans. In Munich nothing was lost with respect to British security that had been considered important 20 years ago.
Munich was considered as a defeat for the war party around Churchill. Duff Cooper resigned from his post as First Lord of the Admiralty. Nevertheless, Churchill, Eden and Cooper were as before ready to agitate against the Chamberlain government. Quit revealing statements were made by Cooper during a speech on December 7, 1938 in Paris:
A false historical image and expressions of demagogues often conceal the simple truth. We did not fight for the independence of Serbia; we did not fight for the protection of Belgium, that nearly almost was overrun before the war even started; we did not fight for the wonderful Wilsonian formula of "making the world safe for democracy". We fought to prevent a power of expanding it's predominance over Europe and finally the entire world.
Ignoring the idiocy of 'tomorrow the world' allegations, this was the expression of the classical balance of power policy that Britain had pursued of the centuries against Spain, Holland, France and finally Germany. If a country becomes too powerful, defeat it, if necessary in a coalition with other states. Britain had targeted for World War 1 over the years, had won it (thanks to the Jews who had brought the US in in exchange for Palestine), had ruined the German Reich, denunciated it as uncivilized, took it's colonies; eliminated it's constitution, confiscated it's wealth, made the German government subscribe to enormous debts as 'reparations', took the ability to protect it's citizens, yes even force it to hand over it's own citizens as if they were cattle.
Poland was as open as was Germany and demanded that Jews (10% of the population, much higher than in Germany) would leave the country. This limited the attractiveness of Poland as an ally, but for the US this was a matter of secondary concern. Interesting are the observations of Polish ambassador to Washington Jerzy Potocki. From Washington he send his observations back home to Warsaw.
In conversations with Hull and Dunn I could establish that the Jews are in panic and in the moment are the great proponents of the creating of a mood of war, which should plunge the entire world into conflict and general catastrophe... through the identification of states as either fascist of democratic they created a great chaos by labeling communism as 'democratic' and plant a great hatred against Nazism. All manifestations of war in Spain, in the Far East, the latest changes in Romania, are all relegated to the criminal influences of the Nazi regime. This hate leads to rage and is propagated at every opportunity: in theater plays, in cinemas, in the press. The Germans are portrayed as a nation, that lives under the arrogance of Hitler, that wants to conquer the entire world and drown humanity in a sea of blood. In conversations with Jewish press representatives I invariably encountered the bitter and resolute expressed opinion that war was inevitable.
After Streicher was sentenced to death he remarked that the reports by Potocki in itself were enough to establish the war guilt. Potocki's report simply confirmed what eh Nazi-leadership had always said, namely about the Jewish influence that determined American foreign policy. Potocki finished his report with:
This group of people, who are present in the highest levels of American government and who want to be seen as the representatives of 'real Americanism' and as 'defenders of democracy', are in reality connected with unbreakable bonds with international Jewry. For this group, the interests of their own race is what really matters to them.
Here is written what in the later years from the side of German propaganda was always said: democracy and human rights are merely a pretext for Jewish interests on an international level, who wanted world war, prepared for it and started it. Potocki was by far not alone with is views within the Polish government.
Very significant for the development towards the war was the frank announcement by William Bullit (US ambassador to Paris) to Potocki that the US would not tolerate further negotiations of the western powers with Germany or Italy. In case of war, also in case of war between Germany and Poland, the US would make available it's entire potential. It was this attitude that later caused Neville chamberlain to say that the US and Jewry had initiated the war.
Americas chief-prosecutor Robert Jackson after the war instructed his colleagues before the start of the Nuremberg Military Tribunal that it should be avoided to talk about the reason of why the war broke out. In the documents of the German Foreign Office nothing could be found of indiscriminate German aggression, but only of remarks that Germany was encircled and was 'strangled to death'... Jackson owed his position not in the least to be a confidential of the strong man behind the NMT, presidential adviser Felix Frankfurter.
The Polish foreign minister Beck visited Hitler in Berchtesgaden on January 5, 1939. Once again Hitler offered Beck recognition of the existing German-Polish border and long term cooperation in many fields, including the preservation of special rights of the Polish republic in Danzig. as a reminder Danzig was a city that was 97%, wanted to be part of Germany and was not part of Poland, but had a special League of Nations status. In return Danzig should return to the German Reich and an exterritorial Autobahn was to be build from Pommern to Eastprussia. Beck reacted reserved as he felt backed by the western powers.
In his memoirs Beck later wrote that at the meeting in Berchtesgaden he had thought of a remark by Hitler to Beck made in 1935 when he had said: "the German nation needs for its further development good relationships to Poland in Europe and Britain in the world. Everything else is secondary". That does not sound like somebody who wants to conquer Poland let alone the world. Rather than cooperating with Hitler Beck endeavored to build a coalition with England against Germany. In November 1938 Poland had renewed it's non-aggression pact with the USSR. Poland got it's war guarantee from Britain in March 31, 1939 and started to mobilize troops at the German border. Poland was ready for war. In an interview on July 19, 1939 with the News Chronicle, Polish Marshall Rydz-Smigly declared: "believe me, that the Polish mobilization was not merely a demonstration. We were ready for war, if it had been necessary". Poland believed it was backed up by Russia, Britain, France and America, or so it believed. But in reality Poland was merely set up by all 4 powers as an excuse to wage war against Germany. Poland had no friends.
The Poles never informed the western powers about the offers that Hitler had made to them. If the British would have known than it is unlikely that they would have given the war guarantee to the Poles, but instead would have supported the German line.
According to the Polish ambassador to London Raszynski, Kennedy had threatened Chamberlain that the American goodwill depended on British effort to protect eastern European nations from Germany. Kennedy had been prompted to make these remarks by Bullitts. Kennedy later made it clear to Raszynski that the American position was that Poland should refuse to engage in negotiations with Germany on the status of Danzig and if necessary let Danzig become a reason for war. The British government was also to comply with this and let itself be drawn into a war by Poland. A few days later the British government came indeed with it's fatal war guarantee. It meant the downfall of Europe (including Britain) as designed in Washington and welcomed in Moscow. The war guarantee even was given in case Poland would start the war, for instance by occupying Danzig. Poland was to be used as the way to destroy the Nazi regime.
Chamberlain himself would later declare to Kennedy, that it had been America and the world Jews who had pushed Britain into war in 1939. Kennedy portrayed this as the consequence of Roosevelt's views, as suggested by Bullitt and finally implemented by Bullitt in Europe. According to kennedy neither Britain nor France would have made the Danzig issue to a cause for war.
We have an independent confirmation of this. On January 14, 1939 the Polish ambassadot to Washington Potocki had a conversation with Bullitt. Potocki reported about this conversation. According to him Bullitt had the following directives:
1) Condemnation of 'totalitarian states' (remark: USSR was not included in this condemnation).
2) The US was to embark on a colossal armaments program of 1.25 billion $.
3) France and Britain should refuse to compromise or negotiate on territorial issues with these states.
4) Moral assurance that the US would abandon it's policy of isolationism and support Britain and France in case of war with it's entire resources.
Conclusion: while Germany was still hoping to reach a negotiated settlement about the German town of Danzig, America already was preparing for a world war, organized by it's Jewish lobby.
One of the few British defectors to Germany, John Amery, son of the Focus member and minister of the interior Leopold Amery held talks on his own initiative on the German radio. He was allowed to repeat the conditions for peace that the German government had already offered on July 22, 1940: guarantee for the British empire and retreat from conquered territories in Western-Europe. Amery added that the war was not Chamberlain's fault but of other forces: "the only persons who in September 1939 had a real interest or reason for an attack on Germany, were these international trusts whom, as we know, at the time, were controlling the governments in Paris, Washington and Moscow and who were able to exert pressure on mr. chamberlain to declare war". that sounds a lot like the explanation that Chamberlain himself later gave to Joseph Kennedy. Interestingly Amery did not like to be reminded to his own Jewish background. Amery proclaimed an anti-Soviet alliance between Germany and Britain in order to prevent a Sovietization of Europe. But that was completely out of the realm of thought of the British government under the leadership of Churchill. Churchill was determined to destroy Germany. Years later he would deplore that had 'slaughtered the wrong pig' and that history possible would not be too merciful with him. And indeed 2010 is the time to get even with the biggest monster that Europe ever produced: Winston Churchill. Amery was executed for high treason, of which he declared himself guilty. Every town in Holland as a Churchilllaan. They all should be renamed to Amerylaan. Churchill stands for the downfall of Europe and the division of the continent between Soviet and American warmongers. The British public in 1945 did not want to hear that they had fought a war for foreign interests. Britain itself was one of the biggest losers of the war they themselves had brought about. They lost their empire and with current trends Britain will be an Islamic state by 1930. All because of Churchill, the best politician Jewish money can buy. After the war British ambassador to Berlin Henderson declared that Chamberlain did not want Churchill in his cabinet because: "his attitudes against Germany do not represent the will of the British people. They can be traced back to Jews and Nazi enemies".
After Munich Chamberlain had lost the discours in public due to the machinations of the Focus network. Negotiations with Germany could only take place in secret. And there were negotiations behind the scene, the so-called Wohltat-talks with Helmut Wohltat, a high-ranking Nazi-official. Ambassador Dirksen reported home on July 24 1939 about the atmosphere in Britain: "the public opinion is incited, the war mongers and intriguers have got the upper hand. If it would be known that negotiations were going on, Churchill and the other inciters would immediately scream 'no second Munich!'". The talks Wohltat had with Wilson, Hudson and Joseph Ball were about a comprehensive agreement. It was Wilson who had proposed a plan on political, military and economic matters. It was proposed that both nations would refrain from military action. It was a big plan. It contained an outline of how Chamberlain imagined how he could maintain the British imperial position in the face of growing American influence. Rather than bringing Britain into war over Poland, as the Americans wanted, Chamberlain aimed to avoid war. In June 1939 the Germans had offered to withdraw from Bohemia and Maehren, yes even abandoning the Czech protectorate in return for Danzig. The Germans were willing to backtrack on the Czech issue after they had seen the size of the damage it has caused in public opinion abroad. The desire of the British and German government not to wage war with another had already put in writing after Munich. In the morning of August 25, after a long discussion, ambassador Henderson offered nothing less than a German-British non-aggression agreement. The German-Soviet non-aggression pact from the German perspective was not about the liquidation of Poland but about the nullification of the French-British-Polish alliance.
Because of the inner political pressure it was not possible for Chamberlain to pursue the Wolhtat-trail. Instead Chamberlain suggested that direct German-Polish negotiations would begin. Hitler accepted but a Polish negotiator never showed up. The Poles relied on their contacts with the British opposition rather than those with the government. Chamberlain sat in the trap the American and British Jews had set for him, with Churchill as their tool. Thanks to Churchill, the best politician Jewish money can buy, as well as the stubborn Poles, Britain lost it's empire and Europe it's stature as number 1 address on this planet. And Poland had to live under Soviet tyranny for half a century over a German city. The disaster was complete.
This key post will describe the machinations of a Jewish funded group called 'Focus' with Churchill as it's figurehead who managed to bring Britain in a war with Germany and thus was responsible for starting WW2.
Everything started with an intriguing quote from David Irving about Focus:
The Focus was financed by a slush fund set up by some of London's wealthiest businessmen -- principally, businessmen organized by the Board of Jewish Deputies in England, whose chairman was a man called Sir Bernard Waley Cohen. Sir Bernard Waley Cohen held a private dinner party at his apartment on July 29, 1936. This is in Waley Cohen's memoirs ... The 29th of July, 1936, Waley Cohen set up a slush fund of 50,000 pounds for The Focus, the Churchill pressure group. Now, 50,000 pounds in 1936, multiply that by ten, at least, to get today's figures. By another three or four to multiply that into Canadian dollars. So, 40 times 50,000 pounds -- about $2 million in Canadian terms -- was given by Bernard Waley Cohen to this secret pressure group of Churchill in July 1936. The purpose was -- the tune that Churchill had to play was -- fight Germany. Start warning the world about Germany, about Nazi Germany. Churchill, of course, one of our most brilliant orators, a magnificent writer, did precisely that.
For two years, The Focus continued to militate, in fact, right through until 1939. And I managed to find the secret files of The Focus, I know the names of all the members. I know all their secrets. I know how much money they were getting, not just from The Focus, but from other governments. I use the word "other governments" advisedly because one of my sources of information for my Churchill biography is, in fact, the Chaim Weizmann Papers in the State of Israel. Israel has made available to me all Churchill's secret correspondence with Chain Weizmann, all his secret conferences. It is an astonishing thing, but I, despite my reputation, in a kind of negative sense with these people, am given access to files like that, just the same as the Russian Government has given me complete access to all of the Soviet records of Churchill's dealings with Ivan Maisky, Joseph Stalin, Molotov and the rest of them. I am the only historian who has been given access to these Russian records. It is a kind of horse trading method that I use when I want access to these files, because it is in these foreign archives we find the truth about Winston Churchill.
When you want the evidence about his tax dodging in 1949 and thereabouts, you are not going to look in his own tax files, you're going to look in the files of those who employed him, like the Time/Life Corporation of America. That's where you look. And when you're looking for evidence about who was putting money up for Churchill when he was in the wilderness and who was funding this secret group of his, The Focus, you're not going to look in his files. Again, you're going to look in the secret files, for example, of the Czech government in Prague, because that is where much of the money was coming from.
This was as much as I could find about the secret dealings of Britain's greatest traitor in history, ever.
Until I found this book (2nd print 2009). I read it and summarized it for you so that you don't have to.
This is the author, Stefan Scheil.
This book brings it all right in the open. As early as 1934 Churchill was speaking about the necessity of war against Nazi-Germany. And in the end it was not Nazi-Germany that was the real problem but Germany itself. Scheil wanted to know why Chamberlain, the 'champion of appeasement' was not able to avoid war with Germany, although he was convinced until the very end that Hitler's offers were acceptable. The answer was found in a group called 'World Non Sectarian Anti/Nazi Council for the Defence of Freedom and Peace to Champion Human Rights' or Focus for short (the original name was American League for the Defense of Jewish Rights), a confederation of liberals, conservatives, Jews, lefties and church people against Nazi Germany. It was an international organisation of groups from 20 countries and headed by Samuel Untermeyer, founded 1936 in Amsterdam.
Here a summary of theses from the book:
- German antisemitism was not unique. In Poland the government pursued similar (emigration) policies like in the 3rd Reich.
- Poland in 1932 signed a non-aggression treaty with the USSR to gain freedom of action for a war against Germany.
- The USSR prepared for an assault against Europe from the beginning of it's existence.
- From 1933 onwards elements within the US government, including Roosevelt, were aiming for regime change in Germany.
- In Britain Chamberlain was willing for an accommodation with Hitler. The NS-government (via ambassador Ribbentrop) aimed for a German-British alliance (911I: until 1941, Rudolf Hess)
- Churchill constituted the anti-Chamberlain war party. It was a minority position but in the end in 1939 was very effective. The Focus was decisive to get Britain into war against Germany.
- Germany after the Austrian Anschluss and Munich agreement was 'saturated' as laid down in the Hossbach Protokol (911I: exit Lebensraum baloney).
- By the end of 1938/beginning 1939 major changes in the US politics brought the country on war path with Germany due to the actions of Jewish networks. Key to this event are the reports by Polish ambassador Potocki.
- The Focus group had direct influence of bringing about the fatal British war guarantee for Poland by a campaign of disinformation suggesting that Germany was about to invade Rumania (Tilea case). In a secret annex parts of East-Germany were promised to Poland in case of war.
- Until the last moment Britain and Germany tried to negotiate an alliance, even after the pact between Germany and Russia, but this was prevented by the inner political situation in Britain.
- The Soviet aim behind the non-aggression pact with Germany was it's long term strategy of provoking war in Europe between the 'capitalist states'
- The last deed of the Focus network was the obstruction of German-Polish talks before September 1 (Churchill, Duff Cooper) and launching the lie in the world press that Germany never had handed over proposals to Poland.
After the war Chamberlain told Joseph Kennedy that "America and the World Jews had pushed Britain into the war". Kennedy told this later to James Forrestal (Diaries, p121).
The Death of James Forrestal.
Kennedy: "neither the French or British were inclined to war, were it not for the constant pressure from Washington"... Roosevelt had instructed Kennedy to put as much iron as possible into Chamberlains back.
Chief prosecutor Robert Jackson had declared before the NMT during negotiations in London that: "'Who’s talking about a fair trial? Of course the Germans will try to accuse the Allies of pursuing a policy that forced them into war. I expect that, since I know about the documents seized from the German Foreign Office. They all come to the same conclusion: "We have no way out. We must fight; we are encircled; we are being strangled:" Well, it would be a catastrophe if this trial got into a discussion about the political and economic causes of the war. That could cause an unending disaster in both America and Europe . . . ."
Ribbentrop reminded the NMT court that Churchill had said that: "when Germany becomes too strong again we will destroy it again". The court dismissed this as irrelevant since Churchill had been an insignificant private person at the time he had said it.
During the NMT not a single document could be produced showing that the war against Poland or even Russia had been planned all along.
Regardless how many millions of people became victim of the Soviet regime, Stalinism and Marxism always found a retorical connection to the themes of Democracy and Human Rights. It was cynical but it was political effective.
Poland explicitly supported the German antisemitic policies.
Antisemitism was not the reason for the start of the war in 1939. The real reasons were:
- Polish nationalism
- Soviet dream of a red planet
- traditional Germanophobia in Britain
- political pressure from Washington (on Poles, British and French)
The news that the Nazis had ascended to power caused a shock for American Jewry. March 27 1933 Stephen Wise organized rally in Madison Square Garden calling for a boycott of German trade. Two days later Hitler responded saying that a Jewish war against Germany could hit the Jews in return. Internally however Hitler uttered his concern about the enormous Jewish international influence and said that for the time being he would bow for this pressure.
Goodwill tour through the US by Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler's central bank president.
He met Roosevelt and even Jewish organisations explaining the German Jewish policies, a meeting Louis Brandeis tried to prevent.
For Stephen Wise it was clear from the start that a war with NS-Germany was 'inevitable'. According to Wise there should be no regard for the fate of the German Jews as a result of a possible war. Likewise he was against any agreement with Nazi-Germany about emigration of Jews from Germany, like the Haavara agreement.
This agreement was a catalyst for the increased Jewish emigration to Palestine. The state of Israel would never have existed without this agreement with the Nazis.
One of the most important Jewish organizations opposing the NS-regime was the American Jewish Committee (AJC).
The AJC did not support Zionism, neither the anti-German boycott measures proposed by Wise. The AJC became the first address for calls for help from Germany. Also the AJC was instrumental in creating an anti-German public opinion, for instance by creating biased annotated versions of Mein Kampf and distribute them to press and media (Hitler's mentioning of millions of people killed in the USSR was not included; falsifications like that Hitler announced world conquest). Strong connections between AJC and New York Times via owner Cyrus L. Sulzberger.
After it became clear that the boycott measures would not lead to the envisioned collapse of Nazi-Germany, so it was decided to form a political organization of which Winston Churchill was asked to be the figurehead, so Churchill was not the originator.
The organization World Anti-Nazi Council (later Focus) was the result of a conversation between trade unionist Walter Citrine and Samuel Untermeyer.
One of the most active and important members of the Focus and very influential in bringing the war about was Henry Wickham Steed.
Steed worked in the border area between journalism and politics. It is surprising that he is so little known. He had contacts to the highest circles. Already before and during WW1 he had been active fighting what he called Pangermanism. Steed was Germanphobe to the core. Besides he had sympathies for the Zionist movement. In 1914 he became 'foreign editor' of The Times, responsible for the foreign policy positions of that paper. Also he was in Versailles involved (as in responsible) in the dismemberment of Austria-Hungary and the construction of the articial states Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Later it became clear that Steed had received considerable sums from the Serbian government for his printed opinions. In addition Steed received large sums from the Czech government as well. For Steed journalism was little more than an instrument of manipulating public opinion. Despite his Zionism (or maybe because of it) he was a hard code anti-semite, although his opinions were rather common in the British establishment of those days. (911I: Zionism can be interpreted as: 'every Jew who is in Israel is not here'). There is hardly any doubt that politicians like Churchill, Chamberlain or Lloyd George considered Jewish influence in Washington as a fact of life.
During the early years of WW1 the majority of the Jews was on the side of Germany, for the simple reason that they say better possibilities in Germany. Nachum Goldmann, the later president of the Jewish World Congress, wrote in 1916 that: "the future world culture would be German... and that the larger part of the Jewish people were on the side of Germany". The hope thereby was that Germany would be able to give the Jews a new fatherland. Zionist headquarters at the time was in Berlin. This all changed dramatically when the British decided to make an offer the Jews could not refuse in order to pull the Jews on their side by offering them Palestine. That was a move with monumental consequences. It was Steed who had made the contact with Zionists like Nachum Sokolov, Chaim Weizmann and Dr. Greenberg. The hope from the side of the British establishment was that this would bring the Americans in the war on their side. Counter parts in the US were Stephen Wise and Louis Brandeis. Both these men were most instrumental in influencing the US government, without which the Balfour-declaration would have been unthinkable.
During the last months of the war Steed generated propaganda to hasten the collapse of Germany.
The meeting, where the ruin of Germany was prepared and for which the Jews were 100% responsible, took place on February 1917 in the residence of Dr. Moses Gaster. Present were: sir Mark Sykes, Lord Rothschild, Herbert Bentwich, Joseph Cowen, James de Rothschild, Harry Sacher, Herbert Samuel, Chaim Weizmann and Sokolow.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Rothschild,_2nd_Baron_Rothschild
In 1917 things looked dark for the allies: Russia was in revolutionary turmoil, big mutanies in the French army; the winning of a new ally was essential.
Within Jewry it were the Zionists who had broken with 'Pangermanism'. Before the possibility of the deal about Palestine, the Jews were during WW1 often seen as 'German agents', hence Steed's antisemitism. Steed btw embraced the notion of 'Jewish Bolshevism'.
In 1918 everywhere in Europe the Jewish press made a U-turn and not only ended political support for Germany but even opened a polemic offensive against everything German and pleaded for unconditional capitulation.
So who was member of Focus? Industrialists, financiers, trade unionists, journalists, bishops, civil servants. Three Nobel price winners, Austin Chamberlain (brother of Neville) and 3 future PM's: Churchill, Atlee and Eden (all the PM's of 1940-1957). Wilson Harris (Spectator), Martin Kingsley (New Statesman) And the mentioned Wickham Steed and 'sympathiser' Robert Vansittart. But the guardian and main sponsor was Robert Waley Cohen.
The explicit goal of the Focus was to replace Chamberlain with Churchill and bring Britain into war with Germany.
Shortly after the Jalta conference Churchill stated in public that Germany would not need it's eastern territories since 6-7 million Germans were going to die anyway in the coming year. That was still less than Roosevelt's adviser Samuel Rosenman had stated in spring 1945 in London when he said that 20 million Germans were going to die.
Churchill loves war like flies like the ace - Lloyd George
You know it is true, Citrine, Winston dreamed of war during his entire life - Stanley Baldwin
During his 'wilderness years' in the thirties, Churchill lived in financial dependency. His political career was financed by others. But also in private he was dependent. Many biographers find that difficult to admit. There was this businessman Sir Henry Strakosch, of Czech/Jewish descend, who offered to cover Churchill's losses for a period of 3 years. And there was a good reason since Churchill had followed the bad investment advice of his old friend Bernard Baruch.
In spring 1938 Churchill was facing insolvency. It is highly unlikely that the 2 Jewish moneymen (Strakosch and Cohen) did not want favors in return of their money. Maybe it was not to be seen as a direct bribe but merely as a reward for the Jew-friendly policies of Churchill, who need not be persuaded anyway. But it certainly was against the rules and blatant corruption. It could (and should) have cost Churchill's career. Germany needed to be destroyed, that was his conviction, and that conviction attracted Jewish money thus enabling him to implemented these policies while avoiding bankruptcy. But nevertheless Churchill was owned by Cohen. Focus did not get money to be spend freely. Cohen himself edited meticulously the speeches by Churchill. And Churchill was very accommodating towards his masters. For Churchill Focus was the only way to power, as a PM and war hero. This attitude was irresponsible, selfish. Politicians like Lloyd George and Baldwin used sharp words related to Churchill's lust for war. Chamberlain, somewhat more reserved, saw Churchill as an adult child. Nazism was superficially his enemy, his real enemy was Germany. And he said it to everyone who wanted to hear it.
It was Churchill who reminded the Cabinet that it had been the American Jews who had brought the Americans into the war in return for Palestine [Meeting of War Cabinet, 27. December 1939, minutes in Cab 65/2]
And there was no illusions what Focus was about. Churchill wrote to his son Randolf: "the bases of the Anti-Nazi League is of course the anger of the Jews about the persecutions in Germany". Focus membership itself was not dominantly Jewish. the money was intended to mobilize already present political will. The first big success for Focus (Churchill, Vansittart) was to torpedo the efforts of German ambassador von Ribbentrop to come to a German-British alliance. As a consequence von Ribbentrop reported to Hitler that in Britain a war of aggression was prepared against Germany.
After the war Churchill wrote 12 volumes about the war. It contained not a single reference to Focus. In 1963 it was Eugen Spier who published a book about the mood which had brought Britain into war. He confirmed that Churchill had not been the master of his editorials and newspaper articles and that Cohen had been the final editor. Also, before important speeches in parliament, Churchill always asked Cohen for a concept about what he should say. Like with the debate of 20 July 1937 about Palestine. Churchill got the speech delivered by Cohen, who had written it the night before. Churchill spoke it as printed to great satisfaction of Cohen, who informed Felix Warburg in the US about it. Only when Churchill became PM, he distanced himself from Cohen and made sure that Cohen did not get responsible positions, much to the dismay of Cohen.
Even after the great success of the Munich agreement, Hitler declared that if in Britain people like Churchill, Cooper or Eden would rise to power, they immediately would start a world war.
The first meeting of Focus was in November 1936 in the Royal Albert Hall in London. All the names mentioned earlier were present, including 20 parliamentarians. Sir Waley Cohen was seated on the podium. The notifications in the press had made it clear that Churchill was to be the central figure. Two organizations were mentioned as associated with the Focus: Jewish Board of Deputies and the United Synagogue; Cohen played a leading role in both organizations.
Against this background wrote Goebbels in his diary: "everything in England is against us, first of all Eden and Vansittart. Some openings with some conservatives. Ribbentrop has difficult job. How can we move things in England?... Press and cinema in Jewish hands. Strong Bolshevik influence".
Meanwhile was Montague Bell appointed to start a letter campaign to work on the British press in an anti-Nazi way. In 1937 the "Focus Publishing Company" was founded.
The Polish ambassador in London, Raczynski had strong ties with Churchill and it was Focus and him who brought the British government over the threshold to war, as he writes in his memoirs. His colleague in Berlin Lipski said in the morning of 31. August 1939 that he was not interested in German offers, since Polish troops would be on their way to Berlin.
Around New Year 1940 Churchill produced a memorandum presented to the cabinet about the 'American Zionist Organization and His Majesty's Government Policy in Palestine'. In it he reminded his readers that it had been American Jews who had brought America into the war in 1917. He confirms the deal made between the British establishment and the Jews as laid down in the Balfour Declaration, just as Benjamin Freedman later had said. Churchill suggested that it was important the get the Jews on the side of Britain once again. Weizmann already had said that he wanted to transfer 3-4 million Jews to Palestine after the war and Churchill had given him the green light for it. Churchill urgently recommended the Cabinet to allow immigration of Jews to Palestine.
Important was the trip that Wickham Steed undertook to America, in that it mobilized the American media for war preparation and creating a corresponding mood in the country. For this purpose Steed visited people like Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the NYT. Also he held a speech before the Council of Foreign Relations, one of the highest circles within the American Foreign Policy establishment. On October 12 he met foreign minister Cordell Hull and finally Roosevelt himself. After that Steed went to meet the New York Jewish Committee. Finally the kickoff meeting was held to form an American counter part of Focus, the Anti-Nazi Council. Present were people like Bernard Baruch, several high-ranking media officials and Felix Warburg.
In the spring of 1939 Poland was in an optimistic mood. The leadership believed that it was in a good position for a conflict with Germany, not in the least because of the international treaties (with France and Britain). 23 January 1938 foreign minister Beck and ambassador Raczynski met with Churchill who clearly distanced himself from current British policies of looking for a balance between the 4 most important European states. Churchill made it clear he wanted to see Poland part of an alliance of western countries against fascism. He also hinted at the crucial part the US were going to play. This nurtured the idea in Warsaw that far reaching goals could be realized for Poland, namely in Lithuania and East-Prussia. The first materialized within a week after the unification of Austria and Germany, without a peep from the western powers.
Meanwhile Focus published the book 'Europe and the Czechs', written by Sheila Grant Duff and was distributed with more than 187,000 copies, an enormous number. Duff passed on Churchill's message that war with Germany was inevitable and that the Sudeten-Germans should not have the right of self determination. You will remember that Czechoslovakia was an artificial creation by the allies in Versailles with the aim of crippling Germany. The country imploded at the first opportunity after the fall of communism. Meanwhile Churchill himself had started a campaign in Britain to bring about an alliance with the... USSR, which itself was allied with Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia itself there was no will of putting up a fight against Germany. The game that Churchill played with Poland in 1939 and brought Britain into the declaration of war of 1939, did not yet succeed with Czechoslovakia. The difference was that the Polish government was determined to fight were the Czechoslovakian government was not.
On the 21. of May the English press started to print (false) news about the mobilization of German troops with the intention of attacking Czechoslovakia. The news originated from the Czechoslovakian military leadership. The false news was produced to generate French-British support and to frustrate negotiations with the Hodza-Sudetendeutsche Partei. As a consequence Czechoslovakia started a real mobilization of it's own forces. Germany meanwhile strongly denied the rumors of it's mobilization.
August 1938 can be identified as the first moment where the British government for the first time tried to win the Polish government for anti-German policies. Duff Cooper (first Lord of the Admiralty) sailed to Poland and had a meeting with foreign minister Beck. Other Focus members were on board as well. During these days the Anglo-Polish alliance began to take shape. According to the diary of Diana Cooper Beck had not been sober for a minute during this 2 day meeting. This meeting however was not recorded in the documents of British Foreign Policy. The Munich Agreement temporarily disturbed the beginning relationship.
From Duff Cooper's diary recording Churchill's reaction to the Munich agreement: "Winston came this afternoon to see me. He was in a state of great excitement and very severe in his condemnation of Chamberlain. I explained him the situation, like I saw it and encouraged him to hope for war, and that was what he wanted..."
On September 29, 1938, Focus printed 1,000,000 leaflets to create an Chamberlain mood. Bruenig, the German ex-chancellor in exile remembered what Churchill had said to him: "what we want is the total destruction of the German economy". I replied: "that means that you have to build up the country again as a support against the Russians".
Czechoslovakia was brought into being by the allies. It dissolved because of the lack of will of these same allies to defend it. There was no case against the demands of the Sudeten-Germans. Munich turned into a symbol of a missed opportunity of stopping the Germans pursuing world conquest. In reality the Hossbach Protokol clearly shows that with the Anschluss of Austria and the Czech lands Germany was 'satiated' for 1-3 generations. For the usual speculations that Hitler wanted to conquer territory in the Ukraine lacks any foundation. Bohemia had been part of the German lands for centuries and for a third populated with Germans. In Munich nothing was lost with respect to British security that had been considered important 20 years ago.
Munich was considered as a defeat for the war party around Churchill. Duff Cooper resigned from his post as First Lord of the Admiralty. Nevertheless, Churchill, Eden and Cooper were as before ready to agitate against the Chamberlain government. Quit revealing statements were made by Cooper during a speech on December 7, 1938 in Paris:
A false historical image and expressions of demagogues often conceal the simple truth. We did not fight for the independence of Serbia; we did not fight for the protection of Belgium, that nearly almost was overrun before the war even started; we did not fight for the wonderful Wilsonian formula of "making the world safe for democracy". We fought to prevent a power of expanding it's predominance over Europe and finally the entire world.
Ignoring the idiocy of 'tomorrow the world' allegations, this was the expression of the classical balance of power policy that Britain had pursued of the centuries against Spain, Holland, France and finally Germany. If a country becomes too powerful, defeat it, if necessary in a coalition with other states. Britain had targeted for World War 1 over the years, had won it (thanks to the Jews who had brought the US in in exchange for Palestine), had ruined the German Reich, denunciated it as uncivilized, took it's colonies; eliminated it's constitution, confiscated it's wealth, made the German government subscribe to enormous debts as 'reparations', took the ability to protect it's citizens, yes even force it to hand over it's own citizens as if they were cattle.
Poland was as open as was Germany and demanded that Jews (10% of the population, much higher than in Germany) would leave the country. This limited the attractiveness of Poland as an ally, but for the US this was a matter of secondary concern. Interesting are the observations of Polish ambassador to Washington Jerzy Potocki. From Washington he send his observations back home to Warsaw.
In conversations with Hull and Dunn I could establish that the Jews are in panic and in the moment are the great proponents of the creating of a mood of war, which should plunge the entire world into conflict and general catastrophe... through the identification of states as either fascist of democratic they created a great chaos by labeling communism as 'democratic' and plant a great hatred against Nazism. All manifestations of war in Spain, in the Far East, the latest changes in Romania, are all relegated to the criminal influences of the Nazi regime. This hate leads to rage and is propagated at every opportunity: in theater plays, in cinemas, in the press. The Germans are portrayed as a nation, that lives under the arrogance of Hitler, that wants to conquer the entire world and drown humanity in a sea of blood. In conversations with Jewish press representatives I invariably encountered the bitter and resolute expressed opinion that war was inevitable.
After Streicher was sentenced to death he remarked that the reports by Potocki in itself were enough to establish the war guilt. Potocki's report simply confirmed what eh Nazi-leadership had always said, namely about the Jewish influence that determined American foreign policy. Potocki finished his report with:
This group of people, who are present in the highest levels of American government and who want to be seen as the representatives of 'real Americanism' and as 'defenders of democracy', are in reality connected with unbreakable bonds with international Jewry. For this group, the interests of their own race is what really matters to them.
Here is written what in the later years from the side of German propaganda was always said: democracy and human rights are merely a pretext for Jewish interests on an international level, who wanted world war, prepared for it and started it. Potocki was by far not alone with is views within the Polish government.
Very significant for the development towards the war was the frank announcement by William Bullit (US ambassador to Paris) to Potocki that the US would not tolerate further negotiations of the western powers with Germany or Italy. In case of war, also in case of war between Germany and Poland, the US would make available it's entire potential. It was this attitude that later caused Neville chamberlain to say that the US and Jewry had initiated the war.
Americas chief-prosecutor Robert Jackson after the war instructed his colleagues before the start of the Nuremberg Military Tribunal that it should be avoided to talk about the reason of why the war broke out. In the documents of the German Foreign Office nothing could be found of indiscriminate German aggression, but only of remarks that Germany was encircled and was 'strangled to death'... Jackson owed his position not in the least to be a confidential of the strong man behind the NMT, presidential adviser Felix Frankfurter.
The Polish foreign minister Beck visited Hitler in Berchtesgaden on January 5, 1939. Once again Hitler offered Beck recognition of the existing German-Polish border and long term cooperation in many fields, including the preservation of special rights of the Polish republic in Danzig. as a reminder Danzig was a city that was 97%, wanted to be part of Germany and was not part of Poland, but had a special League of Nations status. In return Danzig should return to the German Reich and an exterritorial Autobahn was to be build from Pommern to Eastprussia. Beck reacted reserved as he felt backed by the western powers.
In his memoirs Beck later wrote that at the meeting in Berchtesgaden he had thought of a remark by Hitler to Beck made in 1935 when he had said: "the German nation needs for its further development good relationships to Poland in Europe and Britain in the world. Everything else is secondary". That does not sound like somebody who wants to conquer Poland let alone the world. Rather than cooperating with Hitler Beck endeavored to build a coalition with England against Germany. In November 1938 Poland had renewed it's non-aggression pact with the USSR. Poland got it's war guarantee from Britain in March 31, 1939 and started to mobilize troops at the German border. Poland was ready for war. In an interview on July 19, 1939 with the News Chronicle, Polish Marshall Rydz-Smigly declared: "believe me, that the Polish mobilization was not merely a demonstration. We were ready for war, if it had been necessary". Poland believed it was backed up by Russia, Britain, France and America, or so it believed. But in reality Poland was merely set up by all 4 powers as an excuse to wage war against Germany. Poland had no friends.
The Poles never informed the western powers about the offers that Hitler had made to them. If the British would have known than it is unlikely that they would have given the war guarantee to the Poles, but instead would have supported the German line.
According to the Polish ambassador to London Raszynski, Kennedy had threatened Chamberlain that the American goodwill depended on British effort to protect eastern European nations from Germany. Kennedy had been prompted to make these remarks by Bullitts. Kennedy later made it clear to Raszynski that the American position was that Poland should refuse to engage in negotiations with Germany on the status of Danzig and if necessary let Danzig become a reason for war. The British government was also to comply with this and let itself be drawn into a war by Poland. A few days later the British government came indeed with it's fatal war guarantee. It meant the downfall of Europe (including Britain) as designed in Washington and welcomed in Moscow. The war guarantee even was given in case Poland would start the war, for instance by occupying Danzig. Poland was to be used as the way to destroy the Nazi regime.
Chamberlain himself would later declare to Kennedy, that it had been America and the world Jews who had pushed Britain into war in 1939. Kennedy portrayed this as the consequence of Roosevelt's views, as suggested by Bullitt and finally implemented by Bullitt in Europe. According to kennedy neither Britain nor France would have made the Danzig issue to a cause for war.
We have an independent confirmation of this. On January 14, 1939 the Polish ambassadot to Washington Potocki had a conversation with Bullitt. Potocki reported about this conversation. According to him Bullitt had the following directives:
1) Condemnation of 'totalitarian states' (remark: USSR was not included in this condemnation).
2) The US was to embark on a colossal armaments program of 1.25 billion $.
3) France and Britain should refuse to compromise or negotiate on territorial issues with these states.
4) Moral assurance that the US would abandon it's policy of isolationism and support Britain and France in case of war with it's entire resources.
Conclusion: while Germany was still hoping to reach a negotiated settlement about the German town of Danzig, America already was preparing for a world war, organized by it's Jewish lobby.
One of the few British defectors to Germany, John Amery, son of the Focus member and minister of the interior Leopold Amery held talks on his own initiative on the German radio. He was allowed to repeat the conditions for peace that the German government had already offered on July 22, 1940: guarantee for the British empire and retreat from conquered territories in Western-Europe. Amery added that the war was not Chamberlain's fault but of other forces: "the only persons who in September 1939 had a real interest or reason for an attack on Germany, were these international trusts whom, as we know, at the time, were controlling the governments in Paris, Washington and Moscow and who were able to exert pressure on mr. chamberlain to declare war". that sounds a lot like the explanation that Chamberlain himself later gave to Joseph Kennedy. Interestingly Amery did not like to be reminded to his own Jewish background. Amery proclaimed an anti-Soviet alliance between Germany and Britain in order to prevent a Sovietization of Europe. But that was completely out of the realm of thought of the British government under the leadership of Churchill. Churchill was determined to destroy Germany. Years later he would deplore that had 'slaughtered the wrong pig' and that history possible would not be too merciful with him. And indeed 2010 is the time to get even with the biggest monster that Europe ever produced: Winston Churchill. Amery was executed for high treason, of which he declared himself guilty. Every town in Holland as a Churchilllaan. They all should be renamed to Amerylaan. Churchill stands for the downfall of Europe and the division of the continent between Soviet and American warmongers. The British public in 1945 did not want to hear that they had fought a war for foreign interests. Britain itself was one of the biggest losers of the war they themselves had brought about. They lost their empire and with current trends Britain will be an Islamic state by 1930. All because of Churchill, the best politician Jewish money can buy. After the war British ambassador to Berlin Henderson declared that Chamberlain did not want Churchill in his cabinet because: "his attitudes against Germany do not represent the will of the British people. They can be traced back to Jews and Nazi enemies".
After Munich Chamberlain had lost the discours in public due to the machinations of the Focus network. Negotiations with Germany could only take place in secret. And there were negotiations behind the scene, the so-called Wohltat-talks with Helmut Wohltat, a high-ranking Nazi-official. Ambassador Dirksen reported home on July 24 1939 about the atmosphere in Britain: "the public opinion is incited, the war mongers and intriguers have got the upper hand. If it would be known that negotiations were going on, Churchill and the other inciters would immediately scream 'no second Munich!'". The talks Wohltat had with Wilson, Hudson and Joseph Ball were about a comprehensive agreement. It was Wilson who had proposed a plan on political, military and economic matters. It was proposed that both nations would refrain from military action. It was a big plan. It contained an outline of how Chamberlain imagined how he could maintain the British imperial position in the face of growing American influence. Rather than bringing Britain into war over Poland, as the Americans wanted, Chamberlain aimed to avoid war. In June 1939 the Germans had offered to withdraw from Bohemia and Maehren, yes even abandoning the Czech protectorate in return for Danzig. The Germans were willing to backtrack on the Czech issue after they had seen the size of the damage it has caused in public opinion abroad. The desire of the British and German government not to wage war with another had already put in writing after Munich. In the morning of August 25, after a long discussion, ambassador Henderson offered nothing less than a German-British non-aggression agreement. The German-Soviet non-aggression pact from the German perspective was not about the liquidation of Poland but about the nullification of the French-British-Polish alliance.
Because of the inner political pressure it was not possible for Chamberlain to pursue the Wolhtat-trail. Instead Chamberlain suggested that direct German-Polish negotiations would begin. Hitler accepted but a Polish negotiator never showed up. The Poles relied on their contacts with the British opposition rather than those with the government. Chamberlain sat in the trap the American and British Jews had set for him, with Churchill as their tool. Thanks to Churchill, the best politician Jewish money can buy, as well as the stubborn Poles, Britain lost it's empire and Europe it's stature as number 1 address on this planet. And Poland had to live under Soviet tyranny for half a century over a German city. The disaster was complete.
