Hitler's Wallet

Media_httpiimgurcom7h_geypt

Q: It is 1933. You are in Berlin, Germany. Somehow, you find yourself in a position where you can effortlessly steal Adolf Hitler's wallet. This theft will not effect Hitler's rise to power, the nature of World War II, or the Holocaust. There is no important identification in the wallet, but the act will cost Hitler forty Reichsmarks and completely ruin his evening. You do not need the money. The odds that you will be caught committing this crime are less than two percent. Are you ethically obligated to steal Hitler's wallet?

The Young Man and the Sea

Poon Lim, a 25-year-old Chinese seaman from Hainan, was second steward on the British merchant ship, Ben Lomond, which was carrying a crew of 55. It was torpedoed by a German U-boat on 23 November 1942. Poon Lim leaped over the side. He had tied a life jacket around himself, so he surfaced and swam away from the freighter.

Sweden Apologises to Baltic States

Sweden owed its Baltic neighbours a "debt of honour" for turning a blind eye to post-war Soviet occupation, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt told his Baltic counterparts. Speaking at a ceremony in Stockholm attended by the prime ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, Mr Reinfeldt spoke of "a dark moment" in his country's history.

As a Finn, I would like to know, when could we expect the same sort of message of support and remorse for Finnish policies toward the Baltic States under Soviet occupation from human rights activist Tarja Halonen, chairman of United Russia's sister party Jyrki Katainen, or Russian state-run gas giant Gazprom's consultant Paavo Lipponen?

Wehrmacht back in Königsberg
Media_httpmedia6klops_emhjy

Police in the Russian city of Kaliningrad (former Königsberg) detained a man dressed as a Wehrmacht soldier in the early hours of the morning on 13 February 2011. The inebriated man, who was detained in the city's central square carrying a replica rifle, claimed he was Thomas von Lieben, Lance Corporal in Germany's wartime Grossdeutschland Panzer Division.

The man was taken to the police station, where it transpired that he was a member of a local military history club. The man had taken part in a reenactment of a WWII battle in Bagrationovsk. On their way back, members of the club had consumed fair amounts of alcohol. Apparently carried away with his role, the man had put on his uniform and began posing for photos...

Zionist-Putinist alliance against "falsification of history"

"[There is an] ongoing campaign to rewrite WWII history by mitigating Nazism, insisting that communism's evils be proclaimed "equal" to Nazism, and trashing the Allied war effort as one that did nothing but replace one tyranny with another "equal" one in the east," writes Dovid Katz, professor of Judaic studies at Vilnius University and research director at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute.

The peoples of eastern Europe suffered enormously under communism for decades after the war, while we westerners were enjoying unbridled freedom and prosperity. It is absolutely right that they should now call for thorough investigation of the crimes committed by communist regimes. But the demand that the entire EU declare Nazism and communism to be "equal" is something else entirely.

The east European cabal's greatest success to date is the Prague Declaration, which demands that the EU recognise communism and fascism as a "common legacy", and that "all European minds" think that way. Its practical demands include a new Nuremberg-type tribunal for trying the criminals of communism and, unbelievably, a demand for the "overhaul of European history textbooks."

The entire "red-equals-brown" movement within eastern Europe panders to base instincts. It has hit upon a convenient way to stigmatise not only "Russians", but also today's Russia. These nations have every right to fear Russia, but this legitimate concern must not be compromised by the attempts of some at historical falsification and the peddling of contemporary racism and antisemitism.
