[RIA] It became known that along with sending 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine (this decision was made by the German Federal Chancellery on January 25), on Friday the same department announced the delivery of 88 tanks of the Leopard 1 modification to Kyiv from its, as it was said, "stocks."
Denazified (to the last, as we have been convinced for decades, the SS "rune" on the black uniform of the Reich) Germany - both divided and reunited - turned out to be not so denazified at all. Or rather, not denazified at all.
Recall that the combination 14/88 is the code slogan of the neo-Nazis.
| Sounds like a reach to me, but what do I know from Nazis? |
14 words is the length of a passage from Adolph Hitler's "Mein Kampf." "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." 88 is a reference to the eighth letter of the English alphabet regarded as shorthand for "Heil Hitler.” See here
| Ok. But 14 Leopard 2s plus 88 Leopard 1s somehow equals a secret Nazi message? |
Backmasking gets updated to more modern themes. Welcome to the 1970s in 2023.
However, let us leave the symbolism of numerals and turn to the facts. Initially divided into zones of occupation, east and west, from which the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany were later formed, these states behaved in a diametrically opposite way after a short time after the defeat of the Reich.
The main industrial base of Nazi Germany was located in the west. This is the Ruhr basin, which provided coal for the Nazi factories, and this is the industry itself, dispersed over the western regions, which later became federal lands.
Our then allies, in accordance with the documents of three international conferences, got their hands on factories that produced excellent alloy steel, no less high-quality tank armor, and aircraft equipment. Part of the workshops were taken to the USA , together, by the way, with the scientific and design management of enterprises as part of Operation Paperclip, organized by the Office of Strategic Services, the future CIA.
The owners of corporations who owned plants and factories were subject to denazification, and they were even handed over to the tribunal, and someone even ended up in the dock in Nuremberg . But by some incredible luck, and also thanks to good lawyers (for large and very large fees), these characters, direct accomplices of Hitler and adherents of the Nazi ideology, were given prison terms below the lower limit. And all these respectable gentlemen, whose enterprises used slave labor (in some cases, more than half of those who stood on the conveyor were prisoners of concentration camps), returned to their former work. Namely, to work to make Germany above all else again.
Of course, no one could say this directly, but the essence of this did not change.
How the composition of the German special services practically did not change. For example, one of them, the BND - the Foreign Intelligence Service, was actually led by Wehrmacht Lieutenant General Reinhard Gehlen, who had previously commanded intelligence on the Eastern Front.
Gehlen struggled with Soviet influence and communist ideology, this gave him complete indulgence and the opportunity to hire former large Gestapo figures like Klaus Barbier, the "butcher of Lyon", on whom the blood of tens of thousands of deported and tortured in dungeons, including small children whom the SS Barbier tortured on the eyes of the parents.
The degree of Nazification of the highest political establishment of Germany was such that federal prosecutor Fritz Bauer, an anti-fascist who fought the Nazis both during and after the war, gave information about the alleged location in Argentina of Adolf Eichmann directly to the leadership of the Mossad.
It is believed that Eichmann was also used by the German special services for their own purposes, so prosecutor Bauer feared that this executioner, who was responsible for the "final solution of the Jewish question", would be helped by his current colleagues to evade responsibility.
Through the efforts of the Americans, although the appearance of "denazification" was created, the main fist of German industry was saved. Approaching the process so carefully that even the Degussa Corporation, although it does not exist today under this name, was saved.
Degussa is known for producing the Zyklon B during the war, which was used to exterminate people in the gas chambers of death camps or in gas chambers.
Degussa was "denazified", of course, so much so that in 2006 36 thousand employees worked at its enterprises, and the annual turnover was almost 11 billion euros. The net profit that the “denazified” Zyklon B producer received was close to 900 million euros.
The "denazified" concern Gaubschat Fahrzeugwerke GmbH was no less provocatively doing business - it was "gas chambers" that came off its conveyors.
Vans designed specifically for killing people. Not only Jews. These could be the mentally ill, unworthy of being considered "true Aryans", orphans of Slavic nationality, and simply civilians, for example, the same Krasnodar , which was occupied.
After the war, the "denazified" concern, guilty of massacres, rebuilt and began to repair trams. He quite successfully carried out a kind of conversion and repaired this type of public transport until 1975.
And no one, not a single person, not a single politician, burgomaster, journalist, and just German citizens, about whom we were told that they all continuously repented and bore the burden of "historical guilt", never once asked: "But we definitely managed to overcome spirit of revenge? that we felt that we, as a nation, were above all?"
If Bosch, Porsche, Bayer felt great economically, if the stock performance was excellent, then who was interested at all that, for example, the predecessor of the Bayer corporation, which, about aspirin and other high-end pharmaceuticals, bought female prisoners from the leadership of Auschwitz in order to bet on them experiences and test drugs?
Of course, the current Bayer said that it "has nothing to do with these atrocities, since that Bayer was part of the Farbenindustrie AG concern," but the modern one is not.
Well, what works in the same area is just a coincidence.
That is, spoons, of course, were found, but the sediment still remained.
Therefore, maybe we should stop being naive already? Maybe we should still clarify to ourselves, to us, whose ancestors grinded the divisions of the Wehrmacht, destroyed misanthropes, stopped the furnaces of crematoria and the supply of "Cyclone B" to the gas chambers, and in the end defeated Nazism, driving a stake into its heart and putting the main criminals on the dock that our feat and our sacrifices, unfortunately, did not lead to the fact that the guilt of the Germans was realized both personally and at the level of society.
The new generation of German authorities is behaving in exactly the same way as those of the previous ones, just the scale of actions is more modest. Well, more decent slogans, in the spirit of the moment.
But the fact that the thirst for revenge still turns their heads today seems to be understood even by the most naive.
