BERTRAND RUSSELL<br />

"In Eastern Europe now mass deportations are being carried out by our allies o an unprecedented<br />

scale, and an apparently deliberate attempt is being made to exterminate many millions <strong>of</strong> Germans,<br />

not by gas, but by depriving them <strong>of</strong> their homes and <strong>of</strong> food, leaving them to die by slow and<br />

agonizing starvation. This is not an act <strong>of</strong> war, but as part <strong>of</strong> a deliberate policy <strong>of</strong> 'peace'...."<br />

Bertrand Russell, <strong>The</strong> Times, October 19th 1945<br />

FLEEING THE RED ARMY<br />

"Sometimes six or eight hours were necessary to cross the ice, sometimes even longer. Exhaustion<br />

and exposure took its toll <strong>of</strong> lives, especially among the very young and the very old. Babies froze<br />

and were left by their mothers on the ice, old women fell from their wagons - dead. But a touch <strong>of</strong> the<br />

macabre would still be added by low-flying Russian planes, which mercilessly machine-gunned the<br />

refugees and bombed the ice so many a wagon train sank through the broken ice and disappeared in<br />

the waters <strong>of</strong> the Haff. Horses drowned, people drowned. It was an unimaginable trial against<br />

despair." - Alfred deZayas, Nemesis at Potsdam<br />

Note: <strong>The</strong> Federal Ministry for Expellees, Refugees and War Victims <strong>of</strong> the German Government<br />

holds eight volumes <strong>of</strong> 600 - 1,000 pages each, <strong>of</strong> detailed documentation; eye-witness accounts,<br />

many <strong>of</strong> them backed by neutral observers, which is still 'classified' and held in archives with their<br />

publication forbidden.<br />

ALFRED M DeZAYAS, AUTHORITY ON THE EXPULSIONS<br />

"Although not <strong>of</strong>ficially taboo in America or Great Britain, the facts <strong>of</strong> the German expulsion were<br />

never given adequate coverage in the Press. As a consequence, most Americans and Britons do not<br />

know that there was an expulsion at all, much less that western authorization <strong>of</strong> the principle <strong>of</strong><br />

compulsory population transfers made the American and British Governments accomplices in one <strong>of</strong><br />

the most inhuman enterprises in the history <strong>of</strong> Western civilization."<br />

CHAPTER.17<br />

HOGAN'S HEROES<br />

THE WORDS<br />

"We allies are not monsters." said Winston Churchill to the Germans in 1945. This at least, I can say<br />

on behalf <strong>of</strong> the United Nations, to Germany.... peace, though based on unconditional surrender, will<br />

bring to Germany and Japan immense and immediate alleviation <strong>of</strong> suffering and agony."<br />

Time Magazine, January, 29th, 1945<br />

THE REALITY<br />

"What followed was quite the opposite. More Christian women were raped than has ever before been<br />

recorded in world history. <strong>The</strong> German population was put on a 1300-calorie starvation diet,<br />

15,000,000 German civilians were forcibly deprived <strong>of</strong> their homes and property; the allies have kept<br />

or taken one-fourth <strong>of</strong> their farmland and their farm implements, and told them to live by farming.<br />
