In part 3 we’ll watch more raw footage of the Wehrmacht advancing into the Ukraine. Then I'll respond to some interesting comments from Part 2 of the series. At the end of the video I’ll touch on why the war in the East was destined to become one of complete annihilation. There was no room for sincere compromise.

These films scenes, meant to cleverly contrast the supposedly cultured and racially pure Waffen-SS soldiers to the barbarian Bolsheviks that they were facing. Finding and filming individuals with pronounced asiatic features was no accident. The message was these were the men that civilization needed to be saved from.

In part 2 of the series I talked about the fate of millions of Soviet POWs and touched on Görings hunger plan. Comments were generally positive however there was also push back. Some claimed that the invaders had no intention of leveling cities or depopulating entire regions of slavs to make space for ethnic Germans. It went as far as to claim that they were liberating the Slavs and that Soviet POWs were treated well. Many are incapable to disentangle Hitler from Stalin; that Stalin was responsible for all of the evils done and that’s it. One of these comments ended simply with the words - LIES Judah! Which of course is a conversation stopper. You can’t help stupid.

Then I came across a comment that literally stopped me in my tracks. It was in response to my statement that Stalin had considered returning POWs as traitors and had most of them shot -

"The germans should have released the captured Russians soldiers, since Stalin would've killed them anyway. A win win situation."

The one reply was:
That’s pretty sick, you should be ashamed….
Which of course is true, but… the question he’s answering is “What should be done with all the Soviet POWs?”.

Although what he suggests wasn’t viable, obviously they wouldn’t simply release the POWs, his solution to a complicated problem with complete disregard to traditional moral constraints, is authentic. These are the kinds of questions and types of answers behind most of the worst atrocities.

An example: In May of 1942 Heydrich was assassinated. It was believed that residents from the Czech town Lidice had helped the assassins. Question: “How should the authorities respond?” Solution: kill all Lidice’s men by firing squad, to divide the women from the children and send them to Ravensbruck, to slaughter all of the town’s pets and animals, to burn the town and then to blow up the remains of the buildings, to dig up Lidice’s cemetery to loot the graves and dessecrate the remains, to reroute the stream that ran through the town, to completely cover the former area of the town with topsoil and to plant crops, finally to put a barbed wire fence around the entire area. The complete destruction of Lidice was filmed for posterity. Problem solved.

And now, regarding the question as to whether the Germans could have liberated the Slavic populations and so possibly won the war in 1941.

This is the 1933 book commemorating that year’s NSDAP Party Day in Nuremberg which was the first held during the 3rd Reich. The book was produced by Julius Streicher the man responsible for publishing the racist periodical Der Stürmer and self proclaimed Frankenführer. Sorry, I really can’t stand listening to Streichers racist rants.

Interpretation:
An armored knight rides through a narrow gorge accompanied by his loyal dog who has complete trust in his master. They are flanked by a goat-headed devil and the figure of death. Death's rotting corpse holds an hourglass, a reminder of the shortness of life. The rider moves through the scene looking away from the creatures lurking around him, and appears almost contemptuous of the threats, and is thus a symbol of courage. The knight's armor, the horse which towers in size over the beasts, and the fortress on the mountaintop are symbolic of the resilience of faith.

It’s clear who was seen as the 3rd Reich’s shining knight. Hitler’s fanatical crusade for Lebensraum in the east was clearly spelled out in Mein Kampf. The war of annihilation was to end with conquered lands dominated by ethnic Germans. The liberation of foreign populations was totally out of the question.

This 1942 pamphlet titled, Der Untermensch, clearly show that the Slavic populations were also considered racially inferior. The first illustration compares them to the Mongul hoards that terrorized Eastern Europe in the 13th century. Ironically it was actually the Slavic populations that suffered most. Being trampled by the hooves of these supposed “horsemen of the devil” as they advance west can be seen a murdered baby and a bound and raped European women.

The message here was that the Slavs were the destroyers of civilization and culture. So was it really possible for Hitler to go down in history as the “Great Liberator of the Slavs?” I think not.
