Hitler’s ‘Further Plans’As previously stressed, it is unfortunate thatSolzhenitsyn based his entire chapter nine—concerning the war between the Soviet Unionand Germany—exclusively on Jewish sources,an excerpt from minutes of the IMT and a few Sovietand/or Russian publications, which he put together orcopied there, without having independently examined evena single case. Therefore it is pointless to deal with his representationsin this chapter at all.Because what is one to think when wrong statementsare served up to the reader as from a production line whilesimultaneously important basic facts are omitted?Why, for example, does he maintain that the Einsatzgruppenwere under the command of Reinhard Heydrich,the head of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt, the “ReichCentral Security Office,” and was entrusted with the “solutionof the Jewish question,” eventhough in reality they were subordinateto the army commanders? Theydecided on their actions only in conferencewith the latter, taking into considerationthe immediate securityneeds of the German troops in eacharea in view of the ever dangerouspartisan assaults that often had nothingto do with Jews, but instead withguerrilla bands that were often merelyled by Jews and inserted by parachute behind the lines.[Vol. II, The Jews in the Soviet Union, p. 391]Or how can he not say a word about the Jewish declarationof war against Germany as early as March 24, 1933,a “holy war” introduced by a far-reaching economic boycottagainst Germany “to the point of [its] destruction,”nor bring up the later declaration of war by the JewishWorld Congress of August 25, 1939—six days before theactual beginning of the war with Poland?Or why not mention—if Adolf Hitler is to be proclaimedguilty, and he alone, for the outbreak of WorldWar II generally and of the German-Soviet war in particular—JosefStalin’s world-revolutionary objectives, his attackstrategy, his years-long preparations and his giganticmilitary deployment along his western border-districts inJune of 1941. And why not add at least a few words abouthis bestial methods, totally at odds with the rules of warfrom the very first day?Or, why completely hush up the top Bolshevik priorityHow can Solzhenitsyn notsay a word about the Jewishdeclaration of war againstGermany— a far-reachingeconomic boycott meantto completely destroyGermany?of mass-murdering the elite of other nations as in the caseof the German-Soviet war and, in addition, the Soviets’mass murder of over 15,000 Polish officers and others inthe forest near Katyn, although such criminal goings-onwere well known by even the Soviet population itself andits officer corps throughout the 20-year-old history of theCheka, the GPU and the NKVD?After the deportation of the Germans, there occurred asecond wave of deportations: from November 1943 to June1944, six groups of ethnics were deported, under the pretextthat large numbers had collaborated with the German OccupationGovernment, to Siberia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistanand Kirghistan. These were the Chechens, Ingushis, CrimeanTartars, Karachians, Balkayans and Kalmucks. Afterthis main wave of deportations, during which about900,000 humans were displaced, there followed from Julyto December 1944 similar operationswith the goal of “cleansing” the Crimeaand the Caucasus of other“doubtful” nationalities.” [The BlackBook of Communism]Such a concept was totally foreignto the Germans. However, Stalin hadplanned this for all the German officersand police, as Adolf Hitler waswell aware before the Russian campaignbegan, which impelled him toissue his Kommissarbefehl (“Commissar Order”), which,in view of the above facts, required the political commissarsof the Red Army—mostly Jewish—to be shot out ofhand as war criminals.Solzhenitsyn must have been aware of this and of Sovietmilitary practices that started on the first day of thewar in June 1941—“spontaneously and along the wholeline of the front”—as well as further extermination ordersissued by Moscow on July 3, 1941, stating that not onlycaptured German officers, but all captured German soldierswho fell in into their hands were to be killed eitherimmediately or after a short interrogation. [Stalin’s War ofExtermination, footnotes to p. 235 and to p. 303] AlthoughGermany was a signatory to the Geneva Protocols, whichprovided for humane treatment of captured soldiers, theUSSR was not.Why was Solzhenitsyn silent about this and likewiseabout Katyn, although precisely this latter case, becauseof its monstrous malevolence, its order of magnitude, the54 S E P T E M B E R / O C T O B E R 2 0 0 8 B A R N E S R E V I E W .
