Why Hitler Lost

Unread post by Cognitive Dissident »

Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson:
Today’s episode of The Orthodox Nationalist is about Erich Koch, Reichskommissar in Reichskommissariat Ukraine from 1941 until 1943. His reign of terror turned a strong, anti-communist nation into an anti-German force that lost Hitler the war. Hitler and Himmler saw the Slavs as sub-humans regardless of the pleas of Rosenberg and Canaris. As late as 1944 and early 1945, they refused to organize any substantial Russian or Ukrainian force.

Koch instituted forced labor and slave camps. His penchant for hunting led to families and villages being uprooted when they got in the way of his favorite grounds. He called Slavs "European negroes" and said they were too "lazy" for civilization. He also introduced abortion and contraception to the area to control the population.

Rather than organizing a nation of millions to smash Stalin, Hitler and Himmler, through Koch, sacrificed hundreds of divisions that could have been assisted by strong Slavic armies. All offers of assistance against partisans were rejected and millions of tons of grain were shipped out of the country. Kiev and other major cities were sealed off, leading to famines that killed thousands. Within a short time, the Ukrainian and Russian population hated the Germans.

This episode argues that this factor, more than anything else, cost Hitler the war and led to the Gulag empire stretching from Alaska to Berlin.

Koch was condemned after the war but was never executed and strangely, he died of a natural death in 1986. He was never the subject of assassination attempts, like all the other SS men in the area were. All attempts to extradite him to the USSR were refused and Koch is the only example of that on record.

The argument that he was a Stalinist agent is almost irrefutable.

The Stalingrad Debacle and its Causes

By special request, this week's broadcast concerns the Battle of Stalingrad, Kursk and the failures of Hitler's leadership and German intelligence. Operating on both bad intelligence and boastful promises from Goering, Hitler permitted the destruction of the German VI Army at Stalingrad. The Battle of Kursk was the consequence of Stalingrad and it turned many in the German army against Hitler.

From then on, Hitler's oil resources were gone, his best forces destroyed and the millions of millions of Red Army soldiers never again lost the initiative.

Hitler invaded the USSR unprepared. He did so because he knew Stalin had begun a massive build up of offensive forces that would have overrun Central Europe had Hitler not acted quickly. The very fact that Hitler's knowledge of the Soviet war machine was scanty proves he was in no position to war against the western-supplied, Red colossus to the East.

By 1941, the Red Army numbered five million. It was just about one million two years earlier. Hitler invaded with 3500 tanks against the Soviet collection of 24,000, placed into rapid production precisely because of his plans to invade Europe by late Mary of 1941. Hitler's blunders however, are also to blame for the loss of the war and these will be detailed here.

The Myth of Wall Street's Support for Hitler

08 18 21

Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson investigates this old conspiracy theory trope.

One of the favorite positions of the "patriot conservative" today is that “Hitler was a Rothschild." There are many variations of this, and they're all equally nonsensical. No one denies the massive economic recovery of the Third Reich in the 1930s. That this could be done in a socialist, state-centered system while under massive sanctions is beyond their comprehension.

More importantly, the conservative's respectable life would be over if he showed even passing admiration of the Third Reich. The “Hitler was backed by Wall Street" material is cherry-picked to provide the conservative with a group of sufficiently "right wing" reasons to reject National Socialism and avoid any unpleasant comparisons in online debates.

It never works as the thesis that "Hitler was supported by the bankers" falls apart on the slightest examination.

Why would foreign big business support a man who publicly advocated nationalizing industry and raising wages?

Why support a man who wanted state controls over all aspects of foreign trade?

Why support a man with whom the world's major bankers were at war?

Why deliberately anger Britain and France by investing in 1930s Germany against their wishes?

Why invest in a country that put strict limits on the amount of profit a foreign firm could extract?

Why invest in a system that placed foreign capital under strict state supervision?

Wouldn't Hitler's anti-Judaism be a barrier to any financial support from the west?

Why were the elite capitalists in the US the first to clamor for war in the late 1930s?

Why support any party or leader in the most chaotic political situation in European history, especially when they had far more amenable politicians to choose from?

What did Wall Street expect to gain from this in an economy that was, to say the least, unstable and opposed to foreign investment in principle?

What policy provisions of the NSDAP did big business support? The NS economic program at the time was as anti-capitalist as anyone could get.

This broadcast will attempt to dig a bit deeper into this old and careworn topic.
