Genocide, Variations on a Theme #I
Part Three
In 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations declared that: “genocide is a crime under international law” and “genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish…genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.” Yet at the very same time that the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide” was being approved, in December 1948, genocide was being perpetrated by the Americans, British and French in Germany and by the Zionists (with the blessing of the UN, the Americans, British and French) in Palestine.
On the question of genocide in Germany James Bacque deserves to be quoted in full:
“Various statistics published by the US Army, the US Military Governor, the State Department, the German and French governments, and by several writers such as Alfred de Zayas, Konrad Adenauer, Heinz Guderian, Gustav Stolper and the American authors of the booklet The Land of the Dead display a very wide range of opinion about total deaths in Germany in 1946-50. In other European countries at the time, there is no such variety of opinion on census statistics. Whatever caused the strange variations in Germany in the years 1945-50, the Allies were all agreed on one notion: most of the dead had never died. The proof that well over a million prisoners of war and civilians were missing many years after 1945 elicited a simple response: ask the other guys, not us. The prisoners were missing, not dead. To demystify these strange transfigurations of the dead and their statistics, it is essential to remember that Germany for nearly all of 1945-50 was one great prison. Germans were not permitted to emigrate until 1949 except for a handful of people valuable to the Allies. Here is yet another example of how the Allied policies were not intended only to prevent Germany from making war, but also to wreak vengeance.”
“Many Germans wanted to emigrate right after the war but were refused. Emigration would certainly have achieved the allied purpose of weakening Germany, but the people were forced to remain behind in starvation conditions. Mass immigration was controlled and enforced by the Allies. The statistics were all under the control of the Allies. Everything of consequence in the country was controlled by the Allies. When assessing the validity of the figures now being issued by the German government, one must remember that there was no independent German government in those days. All of the figures for 1945-50 were gathered under strict Allied control. Even the German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, when writing his memoirs of the period, relied on Allied figures for the number of expellees.”
“The lowest death rate for residents including expellees already arrived (i.e. not including deaths en route) is offered by the Military Governor of the US zone, who said that in the US zone in 1947, the death rate of 12.1 per year per thousand among civilians was only slightly higher than before the war.”
“The next lowest are the figures of the German government (from the official agency Statistisches Bundesamt, Wiesbaden, henceforth ‘the German government’) which show that some 2.1 million expellees (Germans expelled from seized territories) died between 1945 and 1950. They also report death rates among residents based on Allied occupation army reports. For 1947, the rate reported today by the German government is 12.1 per thousand per year among the resident population.”
“In the middle range are the several writers, among them Adenauer, Heinz Guderian and Gustav Stolper, who say that six million people died among the expellees alone. The expellees numbered around 14/15 million in total between 1945 and 1950.”
“The highest numbers are from the French government, which implied that close to 7.5 million died among the expellees only.”
Adenauer wrote, in March 1949: “According to American figures, a total of 13.3 million Germans were expelled from the eastern parts of Germany, from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and so on. 7.3 million arrived in the eastern zone and the three western zones ... Six million Germans have vanished from the earth. They are dead, gone. Most of the 7.3 million who stayed alive are women, children and old people.”[1]
Given that Raul Hilberg employs the figure of five million in his book: “The Destruction of the European Jews,” it’s a safe assumption that more Germans were murdered by what might be termed Satanic eugenicists of the “Global Deep State” than Jews were. This does nothing however to pardon German crimes, which will be the subject of my next letters.

My mother was one of these expellees from East Prussia. I only spoke with her about it when my father was dying and I spent time with him, learning about his early life and what happened to him and his family during the war. My mother told me things that she'd said she'd rather forget and I'm sure there were things left unsaid. Because of this, I'd no idea of the terrrible situation they had to put up with. I've read a couple of books on the fluechtlinger and one of the saddest was about the orphaned kids, Wolf Kinder, living on their wits to stay alive.
