But then, it touches upon a question that has been puzzling many. How could the nation that brought forth Bach and Beethoven, Goethe and Schiller, Kant and Hegel - and numerous other artists and scientists of world class - stoop to so low a level of barbarism, especially the Holocaust?
Wow, ddt, who appropiatly nicks himself after a forbidden poison, for the first time is asking an intelligent question!
Do you have at least a beginning of an answer yourself, ddt?
Or shall I give the answer for you? After all I am here to help you...
- Woodrow Wilson wanted a treaty based on his 14-point plan which he believed would bring peace to Europe.
- Georges Clemenceau wanted revenge. He wanted to be sure that Germany could never start another war again.
- Lloyd George personally agreed with Wilson but knew that the British public agreed with Clemenceau. He tried to find a compromise between Wilson and Clemenceau.
Lloyd George thought that the treaty was too harsh, and that it would start another war in 25 years time. And right he was. But he signed the 'treaty' (robbery at gun point really) anyway. The Americans did not even sign it, Wilson probably out of a sense of guilt, because he knew as no one else that the disaster that had befell Germany was caused by war entry of the Americans for no reason at all, except that Wilson had given in to pressure by the Jews who were pushing for war to further their own interest, namely Palestine, that they would get as a reward from the British.
ddt says that he does not understand why the Germans committed the H-word. Neither do I. Unless of course we have to consider the possibility that a second rate 'nation', without a Bach, Beethoven and Goethe, sat behind the table in Nuremberg together with the greatest criminals in human history, dressed as judges, speaking 'justice' and decided to use this opportunity to destroy this fine nation morally by making up a story and make themselves look good in the process.

Chief US prosecutor
Robert H. Jackson (a county-seat lawyer who never completed law school), for example, declared in his
opening address to the Tribunal: (note 1)
The most savage and numerous crimes planned and committed by the Nazis were those against the Jews ...
It is my purpose to show a plan and design, to which all Nazis were fanatically committed, to annihilate all Jewish people....
Mind you, this was the opening address! Jackson, a mediocre person, already had the Germans declared guilty before the trial began, meaning it was a setup.
As even some leading Allied figures privately acknowledged at the time, the Nuremberg trials were organized not to dispense impartial justice, but for political purposes. Sir Norman Birkett, British alternate judge at the Nuremberg Tribunal, explained in a private letter in April 1946 that "the trial is only in form a judicial process and its main importance is political."
Translation: it was a show trial. And this was the sort of material that played judge:
Judge Iola T. Nikitchenko, who presided at the Tribunal's solemn opening session, was a vice-chairman of the supreme court of the USSR before and after his service at Nuremberg. In August 1936 he had been a judge at the infamous Moscow show trial of Zinoviev and Kamenev.
In other words,
the dregs of humanity, as Hitler had called them, presided behind the table.
We don't have to look very far to know who organized this showtrial:
Indicative of the largely political nature of the Nuremberg process was the important Jewish role in organizing these trials. Nahum Goldmann, one-time president of both the World Jewish Congress and the World Zionist Organization, reported in his memoir that the Nuremberg Tribunal was the brain-child of World Jewish Congress officials. Only after persistent effort were WJC officials able to persuade Allied leaders to accept the idea, he added.
Here another American judge (Iowa Supreme Court justice) who participated:
Wennerstrum cautiously referred to the extensive Jewish involvement in the Nuremberg process. "The entire atmosphere here is unwholesome ... Lawyers, clerks, interpreters and researchers were employed who became Americans only in recent years, whose backgrounds were imbedded in Europe's hatreds and prejudices."
The condemnation of the trial was to be heard in the highest circles:
America's leading jurist was dismayed by the Nuremberg process. US Supreme Court Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone remarked with irritation: "[Chief US prosecutor] Jackson is away conducting his high-grade lynching party in Nuremberg. I don't mind what he does to the Nazis, but I hate to see the pretense that he is running a court and proceeding according to common law. This is a little too sanctimonious a fraud to meet my old-fashioned ideas." In a private letter he wrote: "... I wonder how some of those who preside at the trials would justify some of the acts of their own governments if they were placed in the status of the accused." On another occasion Stone specifically wondered "whether, under this new [Nuremberg] doctrine of international law, if we had been defeated, the victors could plausibly assert that our supplying Britain with fifty destroyers [in 1940] was an act of aggression ..."
Likewise this reaction in Congress:
In Congress, US Representative Lawrence H. Smith of Wisconsin declared: "The Nuremberg trials are so repugnant to the Anglo-Saxon principles of justice that we must forever be ashamed of that page in our history ... The Nuremberg farce represents a revenge policy at its worst."
US Senator Robert A. Taft also condemned the trial as a political one.
But ddt will not consider the possibility that Nuremberg was a fraud.
The current version of history suits him fine.
ddt once confessed that he played the piano with the, let's say '2 finger sytem', meaning he is not a very talented person. ddt is a lefty, meaning having a world view where everybody is somehow a victim, except for the strong and talented people who make society shine. ddt does not like these people because it makes him aware of his own smallness. ddt loves the holocaust. Now he can be a good guy on the cheap. ddt sits on the first rank of society because he believes in the H-word.
