cross the heavily defended Aa Canal and seize the town of Watten. On the afternoon of 24th May 1940, however the Fuhrer's Headquarters countermanded the crossing. Dietrich (Sepp) simply disregarded Hitler's order and a few hours later his troops were over the canal. " - Heinz Hoehne, The Order of the Death's Head, p.481/482 It is interesting but hardly surprising to note that even fifty years on, Hitler's Germany is held to be the aggressor in attacking a weaker France, when the undeniable fact is that the far more militarily powerful France - without in anyway being threatened by Germany, invaded her neighbour and throughout the autumn and spring 1939 - 1940 shelled German communities; in the face of which Germany showed remarkable tolerance before retaliating. In doing so and as the foremost British historian A.J.P Taylor pointed out, Hitler was motivated to do so 'only on preventive grounds.' THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN Likewise the myths that surround the 'Battle of Britain' have been repeated so often that they are now accepted as gospel. It was Phillip Knightley, the special correspondent (Sunday Times) and author who in his book, The First Casualty - The War Correspondent as Hero, Propagandist, and Myth Maker from the Crimea to Vietnam', revealed that Britain in 'its finest hour' was far from being the underdog of legend. British air defence consisted of 1,416 aircraft against 963 German aircraft. Britain had the further advantage of retrieving downed pilots and salvaging downed airplanes whereas German aircraft and pilots were irretrievably lost. ".... yet throughout the battle the RAF regularly lost more fighters than the Luftwaffe - it was the German bombers that swelled the score and to break even the British had to shoot down a great many of them." which in fact he goes on to point out owed more to the radar advantage. Fighter pilots often found Churchill's rhetoric embarrassing, not the least such descriptions as 'crusaders' who 'grin when they fight'. It was in many respects an ignoble and bloody confrontation in which German pilots, knowing that the parachuting enemy could be airborne again within hours had no compunction about firing on them. Similarly, the RAF had no qualms about shooting down a Heinkel 59 clearly marked with a Red Cross and civilian markings, as it engaged itself in rescuing downed German pilots. In fact, the only RAF pilot to win a Victoria Cross, Flight-Lieutenant J.B Nicholson, was wounded by the Home Guard who mistaking him for a German pilot, blazed away at him as he parachuted to earth. FIGHTING ON THE BEACHES - OF NEW ENGLAND (U.S.A) The Duke of Windsor was appointed Governor of the Bahamas, the gold reserves of the Bank of England were shipped off to Ottawa, the Minister of Information, Alfred Duff Cooper sent his son Julius to Canada - but failed to inform everyone. Parents who could afford to shipped their families out to America or the Commonwealth. Royal Navy ships were placed on standby to evacuate members of the Royal Family and key members of the government to the United States. "In June, July and August of 1940, over 6,000 children took part in the exodus of the rich." The Fears that flawed the Finest Hour, P. Addison, Sunday Times Magazine, May 21st 1972 "The working class began to feel, with some justification, that the rich had plans to get out whilst the 62
going was good." - The First Casualty, Phillip Knightley, Andre Deutsch. London. 1975 RUDOLF HESS AND HIS FLIGHT FOR PEACE "The Fuhrer does not want to defeat England and wants to stop fighting." - Rudolf Hess on his peace mission to England "The decision to go was the hardest I have ever made in my life. It was rendered easier, however, when I visualized the endless rows of coffins, both in Germany and in England, with mothers in dire distress following behind. I am convinced that the mothers on both sides of the channel will have understood my action." - Rudolf Hess Hess was imprisoned and never released. He died under suspicious circumstances, which have never adequately been explained, nearly fifty years on. In terms of the rank he held, the length of imprisonment and the denial of a properly constituted trial, the imprisonment of Rudolf Hess must rank as the first and worst example of peace emissary detention. "During the whole of my political activity I have always propounded the idea of a close friendship and collaboration between Germany and England. In the NSDAP, I found innumerable others of like mind. This desire for Anglo-German friendship and co-operation conforms not merely to sentiments based on the racial origins of our two peoples but also to my realization of the importance of the existence of the British Empire for the whole of mankind." - Hitler's Reply to Roosevelt. April, 15th, 1939 "Now there is no doubt that the Anglo-Saxon people of Britain have accomplished immense colonizing work in the world. For this, I have sincere admiration." - Hitler's Reply to Roosevelt, April,15th, 1939 When asked by Joachim Von Ribbentrop, his Foreign Minister, what he should do if it came to the point of surrender, Hitler replied that he should try to remain on good terms with Britain. "He always wanted that you know." Von Ribbentrop sadly concluded. "It is not true that I wished for war in 1939, neither I nor anyone else in Germany. War was provoked exclusively by those international statesmen who were of Jewish race or who worked in the interests of international Jewry...." - Adolf Hitler, Last Will and Testament.
