Winston Churchill was knighted after World War 2 and buried in Westminster
Abbey, perhaps the highest tribute that could be paid to him, while Adolf
Hitler has been accorded the status of perhaps the most evil politician in
human history.

WINSTON CHURCHILL in 1940 "When I look around to see how we can win the war I
see that there is only one sure path. We have no Continental army which can
defeat the German military power.. Should [Hitler].. not try invasion [of
Britain].. there is one thing that will bring him back and bring him down, and
that is an absolutely devastating, exterminating attack by very heavy bombers
from this country upon the Nazi homeland. We must be able to overwhelm them by
this means, without which I do not see a way through. We cannot accept any aim
lower than air mastery. When can it be obtained?" [Extract from Winston S
Churchill 'The Second World War' (Volume 2 Their Finest Hour Appendix A), Memo
from Prime Minister to Minister of Aircraft Production, 8.July 1940].

ADOLF HITLER in 1940 Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other
way around. Hitler wanted peace with Britain, as the German generals admitted
(Basil Liddell Hart, The Other Side of the Hill 1948, Pan Books 1983) with
regard to the so-called Halt Order at Dunkirk (24 May 1940), where Hitler had
the opportunity to capture the entire British Army, but chose not to. Liddell
Hart, one of Britain,s most respected military historians, quotes the German
General von Blumentritt with regard to this Halt Order:

"He (Hitler) then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British
Empire, of the necessity for its existence, and of the civilization that
Britain had brought into the world. He remarked, with a shrug of the
shoulders, that the creation of its Empire had been achieved by means that
were often harsh, but where there is planing, there are shavings flying,. He
compared the British Empire with the Catholic Church saying they were both
essential elements of stability in the world. He said that all he wanted from
Britain was that she should acknowledge Germany,s position on the Continent.
The return of Germany,s colonies would be desirable but not essential, and he
would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in
difficulties anywhere.." (p 200). According to Liddell Hart, "At the time we
believed that the repulse of the Luftwaffe in the 'Battle over Britain' had
saved her. That is only part of the explanation, the last part of it. The
original cause, which goes much deeper, is that Hitler did not want to conquer
England. He took little interest in the invasion preparations, and for weeks
did nothing to spur them on; then, after a brief impulse to invade, he veered
around again and suspended the preparations. He was preparing, instead, to
invade Russia" (p140).

David Irving in the foreword to his book The Warpath (1978) refers to "the
discovery.. that at no time did this man (Hitler) pose or intend a real threat
to Britain or the Empire." _______ A major awkwardness concerning Churchill's
conduct of the war lies in the secret British policy of so-called 'area
bombing', adopted early in 1942 and outlined by (Lord) CP Snow in the 1960
Godkin Lectures at Harvard University (published in his book Science and
Government, Oxford University Press 1961). Snow had an insider's view of the
development of this policy. He outlines how the sinister Professor FA
Lindemann (later to become Lord Cherwell, Churchill's chief scientific
adviser), persuaded the British Cabinet to adopt the policy of directing
bombing campaigns primarily against German working-class housing.
"Middle-class houses have too much space around them, and so are bound to
waste bombs; factories and "military objectives" had long since been
forgotten, except in official bulletins, since they were much too difficult to
find and hit" (p 48). Snow asks, "What will people of the future think of us?
Will they say...we were wolves with the minds of men? Will they think that we
had resigned our humanity? They will have the right." (p 49).

Fortunately, Snow needn't have worried. There have been and remain such
powerful vested interests committed to preserving the myths of World War II
that even the history departments of universities have in most cases assisted
with the cover-up.

The respected British military historian Martin Middlebrook says, "In some
ways, Area Bombing was a three-year period of deceit practiced upon the
British public and on world opinion. It was felt to be necessary that the
exact nature of R.A.F. bombing should not be revealed. It could not be
concealed that German cities were being hit hard, and that residential areas
in those cities were receiving many of the bombs, but the impression was
usually given that industry was the main target and that any bombing of
workers, housing areas was an unavoidable necessity. Charges of
'indiscriminate bombing' were consistently denied."

The deceit lay in the concealment of the fact that the areas being most
heavily bombed were nearly always either city centres or densely populated
residential areas, which rarely contained any industry.. The vital links in
the dissemination of this view were the press and the radio upon which the
public depended for all wartime news.. Neutral reports [of the campaign
against the residential areas of the German city of Hamburg, for example] that
20,000 or 30,000 people had been killed were dismissed as 'Nazi- inspired stories'.

The military historian Sir Basil Liddell Hart [after the Thousand Bomber Raid
on Cologne with its claim of so many acres of city destroyed] wrote: "It will
be ironical if the defenders of civilization depend for victory upon the most
barbaric and unskilled way of winning a war that the modern world has seen." ,
(Middlebrook, The Battle of Hamburg (1980) pp 343-4]. In his foreword,
Middlebrook notes "I am likely to be criticized...for choosing a series of
raids which produced such extremes of horror on the ground. But I must point
out that a large proportion of the raids carried out by R.A.F. Bomber Command
in the Second World War were devoted to this type of bombing. What happened at
Hamburg was when Bomber Command 'got everything right' (p 12).

In reality, many of these raids consisted of initial attacks using high
explosive bombs to break up the buildings, followed with attacks using
thousands of incendiary bombs to set alight all the fabrics, furnishing and
upholstery exposed by the explosives. In this way firestorms were created
under the right conditions which burned tens of thousands of people alive,
especially the women and children at home while the men were at the front.

Churchill himself ordered the firebomb raid on the city of Dresden (David
Irving The Destruction of Dresden (1966) pp. 96-100), Alexander McKee, Dresden
1945 (1982) p 300, 306, 310) in the last months of the war, producing the most
spectacular deliberate firestorm in the history of Europe. This action was
probably the major war crime committed in Europe. Dresden was not in any way a
military target, and was packed with refugees fleeing the advancing Russians,
mainly women and children and the elderly who were unfit to fight. It is
therefore understandable that it has been necessary to distract attention away
from this viciously and appallingly barbaric act by fabricating war crimes
afterwards and attributing them to the other side, a procedure that is finally
starting to come unstuck.

The Bush-Blair attack on Iraq at the behest of Zionists in the US
administration such as Paul Wolfowitz has demonstrated before a world audience
the lies that can be used to start wars, and in fact usually do. The
transparency and scale of Bush Administration lies, together with the support
given to the lies by a diverse array of other governments, is producing a
revulsion for professional politicians and their handlers and spin doctors and sponsors.
