HISTORY'S MOST TERRIFYING PEACE
The virtual elimination of tens of millions of Germans in the western zones was planned with
meticulous detail at Potsdam. That West Germany and a proportion of her population did survive
owes itself ironically to the Soviet Union. It was only through fear that the USSR, posturing as
liberators from allied excesses, would occupy the ravaged West Germany that the genocidal intentions
of the western allies were thwarted.
What then were these 'depths of depravity' so savage that Stalin's monstrous and genocidal regime
might be looked upon by the German people as a potential savior?
At Potsdam, the allied warlords planned to remove from Germany the three essential elements of
national survival. Land (natural resources), Labor (both physical and intellectual) and Capital (plant
and equipment).
What was intended to follow Germany's defeat was aptly named 'HISTORY'S MOST
TERRIFYING PEACE' by TIME MAGAZINE
Germany was to be broken up, her lands divided between the conquerors. The agricultural process
was to be stopped with a ban on all fertilizer production leading to famine-liquidation based on
Stalin's Ukrainian model. Deprivation and conditions in which disease would prevail were to be
introduced to further reduce the population. Germany's industrial capacity was to be looted,
transferred to the conquering nations and where this was not possible, destroyed. Germany's mature
males were to be deported, deprived of the means to work, working permits to withheld, and its armed
forces (prisoners-of-war) held as slaves indefinitely.
TERRITORY LOSS
The draconian terms of the Versailles Treaty, which many believe was directly responsible for the
Second World war, had reduced German territory from 208,830 square to 181,699 square miles. This
led to immense suffering in Germany as the reduced territory put strains on its ability to feed its
population, a problem that was aggravated by restrictions placed on emigration.
The immediate effect of defeat in the Second World War was the loss of 75,850 square miles of
territory, further reducing Germany in size to 133,000 square miles. This is equal to the size of The
Netherlands - twice over. That which remained was to be divided between the victor nations without
limit on time. Germany was to be obliterated and its population reduced and expelled in much the
same way as Palestine and the Palestinians were dealt with. On this occasion the ban on emigration
was absolute.
These measures had the effect of cramming half of America's population into the states of Michigan,
Indiana and Ohio; with their cities, factories, railways and other means of production demolished.
This was to be accompanied by a ban on growing foodstuffs.
16,000,000 MURDERED THROUGH DEPRIVATION
The intention was as obvious as the results. As the allies squabbled over which areas of Germany
territory they were to control, German civilians died of brutality, deprivation and starvation; the figure
has been put at 16,000,000.
