British grenadier." Austen Chamberlain<br />

WHY DIE FOR STALIN?<br />

"In dying for Stalin your soldiers are not dying for democracy or the preservation <strong>of</strong> the democratic<br />

form <strong>of</strong> government - they are dying for the establishment <strong>of</strong> Communism and a form <strong>of</strong> Stalinist<br />

tyranny throughout the world. Furthermore, they are not dying for the preservation <strong>of</strong> the integrity <strong>of</strong><br />

small nations (England's old war-cry) but are dying so that Poland shall be a Soviet state; so that the<br />

Baltic states shall be incorporated in the Soviet Union and so that Soviet influence shall extend from<br />

the Baltic to the Balkans.<br />

Every British soldier who lays down his life in this war is not only a loss to his own country; he is a<br />

loss to the common cause <strong>of</strong> European civilization. Germany and England's quarrel is a form <strong>of</strong><br />

traditional rivalry. It is more in the nature <strong>of</strong> a private quarrel which Germany did not seek. <strong>The</strong><br />

Soviet Union's quarrel, however, is a quarrel with the WORLD. It is a quarrel with our common<br />

heritage and with all those values - moral, spiritual, cultural and material which we have, all <strong>of</strong> us -<br />

Englishmen and German alike - recognized, cherished and striven to maintain. TO DIE FOR THE<br />

DESTRUCTION OF THESE VALUES IS TO DIE IN VAIN.<br />

Stalin, with all the diabolical power <strong>of</strong> Communism behind him, is seeking to pr<strong>of</strong>it from Britain's and<br />

Germany's preoccupation. <strong>The</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> influence which Britain can exercise on Stalin can be<br />

measured by the latter's undisputed claims to the sovereign territories <strong>of</strong> other nations. <strong>The</strong> only<br />

controlling influence left on Stalin is the strength and tenacity <strong>of</strong> the German Wehrmacht and <strong>of</strong> the<br />

European volunteers who support Germany in her fight for the survival <strong>of</strong> Europe, and its opposition<br />

as the cradle <strong>of</strong> our common civilization.<br />

Every British soldier who dies for Stalin is another nail in the c<strong>of</strong>fin <strong>of</strong> Britain's hopes <strong>of</strong> maintaining<br />

a 'balance <strong>of</strong> power' in Europe. Should the 'equilibrium' pass to Stalin then the equilibrium <strong>of</strong> the<br />

world is at an end. THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE - THINK IT OVER! Text <strong>of</strong> leaflet<br />

dropped behind British lines by the 3rd Reich's British collaborators<br />

"I, M.Daladier, struggle, together with my people, for the reparation <strong>of</strong> an injustice inflicted upon us,<br />

and the others strive to maintain that injustice."<br />

Hitler's letter to French President Dalaldier, 27th August 1939<br />

"He (Neville Chamberlain) had no difficulty in recognizing where this injustice lay. <strong>The</strong>re were six<br />

million Germans in Austria to who national re-unification was forbidden by the peace treaties <strong>of</strong><br />

1919. Three million Germans in Czechoslovakia whose wishes had never been consulted, three<br />

hundred and fifty thousand people in Danzig who were notoriously German."<br />

A.J.P Taylor, British Historian<br />

"Now we have forced Hitler into war, so that he can no longer neutralize one part <strong>of</strong> the Versailles<br />

Treaty after another by peaceful means." Lord Halifax<br />

"Germany is becoming too strong. We must neutralize her."<br />

Winston Churchill, November, 1936 to U.S. General Wood<br />

"If Germany becomes too strong, she will be broken up once again."<br />

Winston Churchill, 1937 to German Foreign Minster Von Ribbentrop<br />
