One of the most fascinating questions about WW2 concerns when the Nazis realized they had lost the war. Some say the generals knew early as December 1941, when Operation Barbarossa was stopped before Moscow, that the great throw of the dice had failed. Others say civilian leaders came to it in 1942 when Case Blue failed to secure the oil they needed to fight on in the East. But most certainly the public moment had come by February 1943, when Joseph Goebbels delivered his famous “Total War” speech admitting that, far from attaining victory, the Reich would be very lucky to survive without a mobilization on a Communist scale.

My Dad was involved, for a time, in gathering information at the towns closest to a factory-camp in which Jews were worked to death to provide for the "war effort". These people feigned total ignorance, even though the guards and admistrators of the camp, came there for entertainment, when off duty, and despite the smell of death, thst often wafted into the town from the place. Many cutizens had those 'friendly' little souvenirs of concentration camp life: lamp shades of human skin with the tatooed number of the 'donor', for example. My dad said there were a lot of different items, but he couldnt bring himself to speak of them. One of his friends from the war mention cutlery with human bone handles. Those who were condemned by the Nazi government, assumed non-huan status, and any cruelty or indignity was not simply justified, it was, dismissed as unimportant. It was 'the natural order'. "What good were they, otherwise?" This is where we are heading with the Democrats. If you are not with them, you are less than an animal. My dad, when he did talk about that town often made oblique references to how 'well fed' they were. I thought he meant they were stealing food from the camp, for themselves. Years later, after reading how badly off the German citizenry were, toward the war's end, I finally got what he meant. He couldn't, maybe didn't dare try to prove it, but he had a town of Hannibal Lectors.

Fernandez writes an excellent article focusing on the political and cultural aspects. However, he mentions only briefly the generals who knew the war was lost at the gates of Moscow. More could have been written on the military aspects of this. For example, German generals captured by the British were kept at a palatial estate in Britain (I forget the name), and of course the rooms were bugged. Virtually all of the generals were on record as previously supporting Operation Barbarossa, but now maintained they shouldn't have done it and Hitler was an idiot, etc. The military failures from generals who were often touted as geniuses even to this day would merit its own book; and there are a few out there. Hitler's realization that they wildly underestimated the war capacity of the USSR and the USA is perfectly understandable given the German Army's focus on the theoretical rather than the practical. For example, the British had a 3 to 1 ratio of support troops to combat troops, Japan had 1 to 1, the US had 6 to 1, and Germany? One-half to one! After our defeat at the Kassarine Pass, Rommel toured the battlefield and noted our tanks had a high degree of standardized stowage schemes so that any crewman could jump in and instantly know how to function in the tank. That was just one of his observations. What convinced him was that he saw containers of ice cream in a forward support area. Having the ability to feed US troops ice cream in the middle of the North African desert made him realize the Germans were finished.

I suggest they lost when they failed to defeat Britain in the summer of 1940. With England sitting on their west, sooner or later the US was going to get forced into it. If Germany hadn't been beaten to dirt by the summer of 1945 they would have been turned to glass.

Well, ( off topic) today is August 6th so you know what that means. I call this month Hiroshima/Nagasaki month. That's all we hear from our corrupt media. How the big, bad United States murdered tens of thousands of innocent Japanese citizens going about their daily lives when we dropped an atom bomb on them. If anyone wants to blame Hiroshima on us, the blood of those in Nagasaki is on the hands of the Emperor. He had three days to surrender and didn't. You have to wonder just when did the Emperor and his Admirals and Generals realize they had lost the war. If I had to guess, it was probably December 8th, 1941. What were THEY thinking?

From what I understand, poster 8, General Yamamoto strongly advised NOT attacking America when the idea surfaced among Tojo's generals back in the 30s. Also, the Japanese Emperorhas very little to do with military decisions. They tried to preemptively assassinate him, when they learned he was going to broadcast a surrender. The blood was on Tojo's hands. Hirohito just took the blame.

All leaders are zealots when defeat looms. They don't quit. Take any high school football coach facing a superior team. Does he tell his team, "Look, just don't get hurt. These guys are gonna whip out butts."? No, just the opposite. As Patton said..."I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed!" In war the losers are facing more than defeat. In this case, the Nazi hierarchy knew it was for their lives. Death has a way of narrowing one's perspective.

And the people running our current government, some calling themselves Democrats and some calling themselves Republicans, are just as totally corrupted, totally blinded by their delusions. We are ruled over by evil, dangerous men and women. I pray that it turns out better than this did for Germany, but that seems unlikely.

Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, made a bizarre tweet earlier this week regarding the Olympics and Team USA’s medal count that has left me confused for a number of reasons. “I wonder how our medal totals would be if we had an exclusionary immigration system which we have had for the last few years,” the one-time presidential candidate wrote. “My heart swells for all of our medalists, including those whose families have come from far off lands to love our country.” [Tweet] This poorly worded tweet seems to be suggesting that Jeb is disappointed in Team USA’s medal count and believes it would be better if

NEW YORK CITY—Just as New York City restaurateurs thought they would perhaps see their way out of crushing COVID-19 restrictions and back to “normalcy,” the city’s government dealt out another blow: Restaurants will now have to check customers for proof of vaccination, or themselves face fines. In response, restaurant owners seem to have flocked to one of two positions. Some support the rule as long as it prevents more lockdowns, while others reject it as an unreasonable imposition on their already vulnerable operations. Restaurants have been among the hardest hit by the lockdown imposed in response to the pandemic of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19. New York City

The Mexican government on Wednesday sued several U.S. gun manufacturers, alleging that they contribute to illegal gun trafficking to Mexico. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. federal court in Boston. Among the defendants named in the suit are Smith & Wesson, Barrett Firearms, Beretta U.S.A. and Colt’s Manufacturing Company. The companies did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment. The gun manufacturers are accused of negligent business practices that facilitate smuggling guns to Mexico and cause “massive damage” to the country. The lawsuit alleges that they knowingly supply the criminal gun market in Mexico in particular, saying the companies’ military-style guns often

Even world-record-holding athletes can be surprised by their personal feats. Norway’s Karsten Warholm crushed his own world record to win the men’s 400m hurdles final in 45.94 seconds on Monday night. And his reaction was priceless. On July 1, Warholm broke American Kevin Young’s 29-year-old world record of 46.78 seconds at a Diamond League meet with a time of 46.70, and he blew by that mark just over a month later to win gold in Tokyo. American Rai Benjamin also beat Warholm’s previous world record on Monday by finishing in 46.17 seconds, but it was only enough for him to land the silver medal.

With a wave of his pen, Biden ordered that 50% of new cars and trucks sold by 2030 are to be electric.
