The Genocide Generals

A stark reminder from the past, especially meaningful these days, when the term 'Nazi' is tossed around frequently by the left.

The Genocide Generals: secret recordings explode the myth they knew nothing about the Holocaust

During the latter half of World War II, the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) undertook a massive clandestine operation of which the full, extraordinary details are only now coming to light.

Between 1942 and 1945, a section of SIS - known as MI19 - secretly recorded no fewer than 64,427 conversations between captured German generals and other senior officers, all without their knowledge or even suspicion. The 167 most significant of these are about to be published for the first time.

Together, they provide us with a goldmine of information about what the German High Command privately thought of the war, Adolf Hitler, the Nazis and each other.

Do go read the entire article. There's also a rare colour photo of Hitler with his generals, which is very odd because I've only ever seen B&W before.

Interesting article you've uncovered.

I like this:

"What do I care about Good Friday?" asked General-major Wilhelm Ullersperger, who had been captured during the Ardennes offensive in the last days of 1944. "Because a filthy Jew was hanged umpteen years ago?"

And, yet, modern secularists and atheists contantly argue that Hitler and the Nazis were Christians.

Amazing.
