Letters from Vienna #45
1945
On Monday 12 March, 1945, seventy-seven years ago to the day, Marie Vassiltchikov wrote in her diary: “Sita Wrede burst into my office at the hospital with the news that large enemy air formations were on their way. I had so much to do that I could not rush off with her to the tunnel. She likes getting there early, when it is less packed. By the time I was ready, she had lost patience and said we might as well stay where we were. I felt a bit guilty, as I was to blame. But many others seemed to have stayed on too–the basement shelter was full of wounded and nurses. I joined the former. One of them, a Captain Bauer, is a famous air ace with Oak Leaves to his Knight’s Cross. He had a bad shoulder wound but is up and walking. We talked a bit but then the lights went out and soon the noise outside deafened all conversation. I looked in at the Kellerstation and found Schwester Agnes perched on a table, sobbing; a young surgeon was patting her back. Though such a good and happy person otherwise, she always goes to pieces during raids. I sat with her on the table and we clung to one another. There was such a whistling and roaring as I had never heard in Vienna before. We had an observer on the roof, who is not supposed to leave it whatever happens. He now sent down a message that the tunnel had had a direct hit. We immediately thought of our many patients and nurses who had sought cover there. And, sure enough, about ten minutes later, when the noise had lessened a bit, people came running in with stretchers loaded with the men and girls who had walked there happily less than an hour earlier. It broke one’s heart! Some were screaming. One, who had been hit in the stomach, caught my foot and begged: “Narkose, Schwester, Narkose!…” (anaesthetic, Nurse, anaesthetic!…). He went on whimpering without end. Several were operated on right there in the cellar, where there is neither light nor water but that poor boy soon died. The head doctor kept shouting at those who had stayed on in the hospital against his express orders. He was furious to find virtually the whole staff assembled here: “Wenn wir einen Volltreffer bekommen hätten, so wäre ich meine ganzen Leute auf einmal los!“ („Had we received a direct hit, I would have lost my entire staff at one blow!”). It appears that the bomb fell in front of the entrance to the tunnel just as one of the inmates had come out for a breath of fresh air. Some say there was a false rumour that the raid was over. Anyway, fourteen persons were killed on the spot and the scene in our cellar when the survivors were brought in is something I will never forget.”
“Later, we climbed on to the roof and looked out towards the town. Professor Auersberg said he could see the Opera House burning but there was so much smoke that one couldn’t really tell what had happened.”[1] One of my aunts was a nurse at the self-same hospital at the self-same time.
In 1945 Vienna was brutally conquered and I don’t doubt for a minute that all of my aunts were raped. Only one married and none of them had children. Yet never a word was lost about what had actually occurred during that terrible time; a resigned, awkward and stoic silence covered all.
“Chief among the victims were adult males (if any remained) and women of any age. 87,000 women in Vienna were reported by clinics and doctors to have been raped by Soviet soldiers in the three weeks following the Red Army’s arrival in the city.”[2] The statue to the Soviet soldier on Schwarzenbergplatz received the nickname: “monument to the unknown father.”
Many Austrians, including members of my family, were caught up in the madness of National Socialism just as many are currently caught up in the madness of the “Covid measures” today.
“In a country of under 7 million inhabitants there had been 700,000 NSDAP members: at the war’s end there were still 536,000 registered Nazis in Austria; 1.2 million Austrians had served in German units during the war. Austrians had been disproportionately represented in the SS and in concentration camp administrations. Austrian public life and high culture were saturated with Nazi sympathisers—45 out of 117 members of the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra were Nazis (whereas the Berlin Philharmonic had just 8 Nazi Party members out of 110 musicians).”
“In the circumstances, Austria got off lightly, astonishingly so. 130,000 Austrians were investigated for war crimes, of whom 23,000 were tried, 13,600 condemned, 43 sentenced to death and just 30 executed. Some 70,000 civil servants were dismissed. The four occupying Allied powers agreed in the autumn of 1946 to let Austria thenceforth handle its own criminals and “denazification”. The education system, particularly infested, was duly denazified: 2,943 primary school teachers were dismissed and 477 secondary school teachers, but just 27 university professors—despite the notoriously pro-Nazi sympathies of many senior academics.”
“In 1947 the Austrian authorities passed a law distinguishing between “more” and “less” incriminated Nazis. 500,000 of the latter were amnestied the following year and their voting rights restored. The former—about 42,000 in all—would all be amnestied by 1956. After that Austrians simply forgot about their involvement with Hitler altogether.”[3]
Yet, for all the statistics and dry facts complex stories developed and played out. Thus, I know of one lady (not a relative) who was punished prior to 1938 for being an underground Nazi (at the time they were “verboten” in Austria) who later fell in love with a wealthy Jew. As a direct consequence she was expelled from the party in 1942 and sent to work a mine. After 1945 she was imprisoned for a third time (this time by the Allies) on account of the fact that she was suspected of helping Nazis escape from Austria.
I once watched a TV report about the bombing raid on Vienna in March 1945 on Austrian TV (ORF). The curious fake, fairy-tale told was of how the Americans had hit the city centre by pure error. This was clearly ridiculous nonsense. The aim of the attack was to reduce the civilian population (war industry was rarely touched) and to destroy both housing and infrastructure.
Many of those responsible for the targeting of the planes were members of Skull and Bones (at least in America) and not a few were conscious of the fact that they were war criminals. Indeed, as the Bombing Survey (of which Auden was a member) determined during and after the war: the bombing campaign actually helped the Nazis. It set much labor free, which could then be employed in arms factories; German production of weaponry actually increased in the course of the conflict.
Most notorious of all was the terror bombing of Dresden, that had no military value whatsoever, and which killed untold thousands.
This new-found knowledge about the inefficacy of bombing did little to mitigate the targeting of civilians in Japan. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had nothing to do with ending the war and everything to do with demonstrating American technological superiority to the Russians.
For the Global Deep State: “one world government” has always been paramount. To this end no cost, especially in human life, has ever been spared.
To quote Carroll Quigley, who knew exactly what he was writing about: “...[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations....”
“It must not be felt that these heads of the world’s chief central banks were themselves substantive powers in world finance. They were not. Rather, they were the technicians and agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries, who had raised them up and were perfectly capable of throwing them down. The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers (also called “international” or “merchant” bankers) who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks. This dominance of investment bankers was based on their control over the flows of credit and investment funds in their own countries and throughout the world. They could dominate the financial and industrial systems of their own countries by their influence over the flow of current funds though bank loans, the discount rate, and the re-discounting of commercial debts; they could dominate governments by their own control over current government loans and the play of the international exchanges.”[4]
“There really is a “world system of financial control in private hands”, writes Michael L. Chadwick, “that is “able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world.” I call this system the World Trade Federation. It is an ultra-secret group of the most powerful men on the earth. They now control every major international institution, every major multinational and transnational corporation both public and private, every major domestic and international banking institution, every central bank, every nation-state on earth, the natural resources on every continent and the people around the world through complicated inter-locking networks that resemble giant spider webs. This group is comprised of the leading family dynasties of the Canada, United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and China. This self-perpetuating group has developed an elaborate system of control that enables them to manipulate government leaders, consumers and people throughout the world. They are in the last stages of developing a World Empire that will rival the ancient Roman Empire. However, this new Empire will rule the entire world, not just a goodly portion of it as Rome did long ago, from its ultra-secret world headquarters in Germany. This group is responsible for the death and suffering of over 180 million men, women and children. They were responsible for World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam, etc. They have created periods of inflation and deflation in order to confiscate and consolidate the wealth of the world. They were responsible for the enslavement of over two billion people in all communist nations—Russia, China, Eastern Europe, etc., inasmuch as they were directly responsible for the creation of communism in these nations. They built up and sustain these evil totalitarian systems for private gain. They brought Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Roosevelt to power and guided their governments from behind the scenes to achieve a state of plunder unparalleled in world history. They make Attila the Hun look like a kindergarten child compared to their accomplishments. Six million Jews were tortured and killed in order to confiscate billions of dollars in assets, gold, silver, currency, diamonds and art work from the Tribe of Judah–a special group of people. The people in Eastern Europe suffered a similar fate as the armies of Hitler overran these countries, murdered, enslaved, robbed and plundered the unique people who resided there. For the last two and one-half centuries wealth and power have been concentrating in the hands of fewer and fewer men and women. This wealth is now being used to construct and maintain the World Empire that is in the last stages of development. The World Empire is partly visible and partly invisible today.”[5]
Under these circumstances the reality of the Second World War, the ongoing Genocide by Jab and the struggle in the Ukraine should hardly surprise. They are all consequences of the striving for one world government on the part of what Michael L. Chadwick names the “World Trade Federation” but which can also be termed: the Global Deep State.
