Letters from Vienna #43
1943
“The worst concentration camp I’ve heard about recently,” Victor Klemperer noted in his diary on March 16 1942, “is Auschwitz (or something like that) near Königshütte in Upper Silesia. Mining work, death after a few days...”[1]
A lot of people knew about Auschwitz and how terrible it was (even if they didn’t know all the particulars) as became clear after the war:
“COUNSEL: “The chief engineer of the Buna plant with whom you spoke in 1943, did he specifically tell you that people were being burned at Auschwitz?”
STRUSS (secretary of the I.G. managing board, Ernst A. Struss): “Yes, I think he also told me that before the burning, they were gassed. ...”
COUNSEL: “And in the summer of 1943 you knew that people were being burned and gassed?”
STRUSS: “Yes.”
COUNSEL: “And to your best recollection you told that to (Otto) Ambros (“one of I.G.’s most talented Buna chemists”) and (Fritz) Ter Mee (“a leading I.G. executive and scientist”)?”
STRUSS: “Yes.””
“Through former Auschwitz inmates, the prosecution presented a graphic picture of conditions at I.G. Auschwitz and Monowitz. Typical was the testimony of Robert Elie Waitz, a professor at the University of Strasbourg, an inmate who was also a physician with an international reputation. He worked in the Monowitz hospital and, because of his renown and demeanour, was a forceful witness:”
““I found out very soon that Monowitz was an extermination camp. On account of the severe living conditions, the prisoners were exposed to that slow process of physical and mental dissolution which terminated in most cases in the gas chambers. The final aim was unmistakable: the dehumanisation and eventual extermination of the prisoners employed in the I.G. plant at Auschwitz. I heard an S.S. officer in Monowitz saying to the prisoners, “You are all condemned to die, but the execution of your sentence will take a little while.” Until that time the S.S. and I.G. in common exploited the prisoners beyond what they could bear.”
“From witness Rudolf Vitek, also both a physician and an inmate, came the following appraisal: “The prisoners were pushed in their work by the Capos, foremen, and overseers of the I.G. in an inhuman way. No mercy was shown. Thrashings, ill-treatment of the worst kind, even direct killings were the fashion. The murderous working speed was responsible for the fact that while working many prisoners suddenly stretched out flat, turned blue, gasped for breath and died like beasts…”
“It was no rare occurrence that detachments of 400 to 500 men brought back with them in the evening five to twenty corpses. The dead were brought to the place of roll-call and counted as being present.”
“A Czechoslovakian inmate swore that: “The directors of I.G. Farben knew about the selections… The employees of I.G. Farben indirectly occasioned the selections… The master craftsmen complained to the management. . . and from there the complaints were forwarded to the management, Dr. Duerrfeld. And from there to the S.S. Consequently, the Labor Allocation Officer in Auschwitz went to Monowitz early in the morning, when the squads left for work, posted himself near the gate and picked out those people . . . whom they considered sickly; these people were sent to the gas chambers straight away. Those written complaints came from I.G. I myself have seen such reports.”[2]
Many think of the EU as being a bastion of democracy and human rights but if one scratches the surface one soon finds that it is, in reality, merely the spiritual heir of IG Farben.
“In return for financing the rise of the Nazis and equipping them for WWII, the IG Farben cartel was the primary economic beneficiary from the conquest of Europe. An example of the close collaboration between Farben and the Nazis is the Auschwitz concentration camp. Financed with a credit of 1 billion Reichsmark, from the Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank, IG Farben built the largest industrial complex in the world at that time in the Polish city of Auschwitz.”
“The “IG Auschwitz” plant was to produce the synthetic rubber, gasoline and other chemicals for the Nazi/IG Farben conquest of Russia and Asia. For the construction of this giant plant, the nearby Auschwitz concentration camp was extended and became the world’s largest slave labor and later extermination camp.”
“These and many other crimes committed by the IG Farben cartel, in Auschwitz and elsewhere, are documented in the records of the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal against leading executives of this cartel. Most shocking among these documents are the deadly medical experiments – the majority of which were conducted with patented pharmaceutical drugs from BAYER, HOECHST and other IG Farben companies. The Nuremberg Tribunal also revealed that some of the doctors conducting these deadly experiments, including Dr. Vetter, were – at that time – paid employees of BAYER.”[3]
“For almost three-quarters of a century, the world has been told that WWII was caused by a psychopath, Adolf Hitler, and his entourage of racist hooligans, the Nazis. The facts are, however, that WWII was a conquest war conducted on behalf of the Chemical, Oil and Drug Cartel with the goal of controlling the multi-trillion-dollar global markets in the newly-emerging fields of patented chemical products.”
“Official documents from the U.S. Congress and the Nuremberg war crimes tribunals unequivocally show that WWII was not only prepared, but also logistically and technically facilitated by the largest and most notorious oil and drug cartel at that time, namely, the German IG Farben cartel, composed of Bayer, BASF, Hoechst and other chemical companies. The summary of the indictment from Nuremberg proves that without IG Farben, WWII could not have taken place.”
“…WWI, the second largest tragedy of the twentieth century, was actually the first attempt at world conquest by these corporate interests. Moreover, after both these military attempts to subjugate Europe and the world had failed, the Oil and Drug Cartel invested in a third attempt: the economic and political conquest of Europe by means of the ‘Brussels EU’.”
“Not surprisingly, therefore, the key architects for the Brussels EU were recruited from among those technocrats who had already designed the plans for a post-WWII Europe under the control of the Nazi/Cartel coalition…these stakeholders of the cartel – (were) dressed not in military uniforms, but in grey suits – the most notorious of whom was Walter Hallstein, the first president of the so-called EU Commission.”
“The answer to the question as to why you have probably not heard about these ground-shaking facts before is straightforward. After 1945, the Cartel invested hundreds of billions of dollars with one goal only: to rewrite history and cover its criminal past. This cover-up, with regard to the corporate origins of two World Wars, was obviously the precondition for the Cartel’s third attempt – this time via the Brussels EU – at the conquest and control of Europe.”[4]
The Nazi origins of the EU are well-documented: “On March 21st, 1943, Ribbentrop sent a memorandum to Hitler” writes Gunnar Bjornson “in which he stated the need for a “European Confederation.” The composition of this new political entity was supposed to include Germany, Italy, France, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Greece and Spain.”
“A memorandum of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany from September 9th, 1943 reveals the structure of the future European Confederation. This proposed structure does not differ significantly at all from the current structure of the EU. Economic issues were to be governed by the European Economic Council, and it was suggested that a European Monetary Union and European Central Bank be created. All of these ideas were later implemented in the European Union in a liberal format.”
“Another term, “European Economic Community”, was also used for the first time and elaborated in detail in Nazi documents for plans to integrate the economic space of European countries as developed by the economic departments of the Reich. The leading theorist on this matter was Werner Deitz, the head of the Society for European Economic Planning and Great Space Economics. Nazi economic theorists planned to establish a uniform planning and management system for the European economy which would steadily erode the economic sovereignty of states. At the same time, the political sovereignty of states in this system was supposed to be replaced by the “sovereignty of the people” which in practice led to the destruction of the independence of traditional European nation-states, as is the case in the current EU.”
“The economic departments of the Reich understood European integration as a process in which all the other nations of Europe were to promote the development of the German economy. At the same time, although sharing this idea, some German economists elaborated a more differentiated approach. As Secretary of State of the Imperial Ministry of Economy and SS officer Gustaw Schlotterer advocated, the process of European unification on an economic basis in German interests could begin with linking national economies. This concept later became the basis for the contemporary process of European integration. The Schlotterer Commission also drew up plans for a future European bank to be based in Vienna.”
“It is noteworthy that the current European Union grew out of the European Coal and Steel Community. The same German steel and coal industrialists of the Ruhr in Germany supported the Schlotterer plan and then in 1951 initiated a new association. In Düsseldorf, in the centre of the Rhine-Ruhr region, Shlotterer found work after de-Nazification as an economist at the enterprises of the steel industry.”[5]
Many mistakenly think of Fascism as being “nationalistic” but there are few institutions more “globalist” yet more fascist than the EU. Perhaps the definition of Kai Moltke (that Fascism is the political expression of monopolistic capitalism) is most apt. Thus, the slave-like conditions at work-places not just in Europe but all over the world are the direct consequences of carefully calibrated “Neo-liberal”, “free-market” EU policies. And the massive concentration of wealth in ever fewer hands is no accident but rather deliberate design. Why exactly these developments are seen by some as “left-wing” and so many on the “left” support them, eludes me.
Given the Fascist origins of the EU the policies of the last two years, such as the massive, criminal experimentation (Genocide by Jab) as well as the current, ongoing war against Russia, are hardly surprising. The next steps are the creation of a giant Auschwitz by means of a digital currency and a “vaccine passport”. Hopefully these projects won’t flourish but rather fail.
