Prof. Norman Domeier - Collaboration Between Associated Press and Nazi Germany

 


An excerpt from, "The secret deal the Associated Press made with the Nazis during WWII" By Michael S. Rosenwald, The Washington Post, May 10, 2017:

At the height of World War II, the Associated Press made secret arrangements with an SS officer to obtain pictures taken by Nazi photographers that were distributed to American newspapers — a deal authorized by senior U.S. officials.

The extraordinary arrangement, which began in 1941 and ended with Hitler’s fall, is detailed in a lengthy internal report the AP released Wednesday morning. It comes several months after Norman Domeier, a German historian, discovered a letter describing the deal in the papers of AP’s then-bureau chief.

The report includes documents recently declassified at the request of AP’s management, including letters of approval from a wartime censorship office run by an ex-AP editor who reported to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As part of the arrangement, AP shared pictures of U.S. war operations and Allied advances, which were reviewed by Hitler and published in Nazi publications.

An excerpt from, "Lecture: Norman Domeier, “World Domination and Genocide: The ‘Lochner Version’ of Hitler’s Speech on 22 August 1939, a Key Document of National Socialist Ideology” University of Wisconsin-Madison, July 12, 2023:

In Nuremberg, some of the former foreign correspondents in Berlin, among them Louis Lochner, must have been immensely relieved that their names did not appear in the trial, and that their confidential collusions, arrangements and deals with some of the accused ended on the gallows. Especially Louis Lochner, who had planned a secret deal between Associated Press and Nazi Germany which lasted from the US entry in the war in December 1941 until spring 1945. So this is a topic in itself. It’s also something that I discovered here from Louis Lochner’s papers in early 2017. We can also talk about that in the discussion. It is basically, short version, a secret deal to exchange news photos via the neutral capitals of Lisbon and Stockholm during the whole war. So probably around forty thousand news photos were exchanged between Nazi Germany and the United States and Great Britain. And that is the explanation why during the Second World War, all American newspapers and journals were actually full of fresh, nice Nazi photos. And the other way around, you will find in all Nazi newspapers, also in the occupied territories, fresh photos from Associated Press. We can come back to that in the discussion if you’re interested in that.

Therefore, Lochner was mastermind behind this secret deal already planned in 1940. Therefore Lochner missed a truly historic opportunity in Nuremberg. Only with his testimony, his version of the Hitler speech, could have been used as valid evidence during the hearings in Nuremberg. All of the others who had ensured the speech would eventually reach him, Admiral Canaris, General Beck, General Oster, and Hermann Maas had been murdered by the National Socialists.

Norman Domeier is Assistant Professor of Modern European History at the University of Stuttgart.

Geopolitical Bloodletting: NATO's Cynicism In Ukraine

 

A generation of Ukrainian youth was sacrificed by the ghouls who rule Washington and London.


What Europe has enabled in its own backyard for the last decade can only be categorized as strategic suicide. 

England and America, two countries that ravaged Europe in two world wars in the last century, have led Germany and France by the nose against their collective long-term interests in Ukraine. 

Washington and London would prefer to see Europe burn and collapse than see it prosper with a rising Russia and China.

The sad pushovers in Berlin and Paris don't realize that an alliance with Moscow would benefit them more than their current one-sided partnership with the evil ghouls who rule the U.S. and U.K. 

As for the Ukrainians, their stupidity can be forgiven because they were systematically brainwashed to hate the Russians. Hate is a powerful emotion. It freezes reason. 

Ukraine is a victim. It was psychologically raped by propagandists with a century of research behind them. They were mindfucked on a national level and led to the ditch by a cokehead clown who masquerades as a statesman.

The majority of Ukrainians don't even know what they're fighting and dying for. They should have learned from the recent history in Afghanistan that empires don't take interest in wars of national liberation out of goodwill.

Ukraine's corrupt political class committed their nation to ruin when they let Washington in through the front door. They feared the bear in the woods but not the snakes in their living room.

A Crime Remembered

The same evil monsters who massacred this innocent family a century ago are behind the needless slaughter in Ukraine today. Putin has been too gentle in his prosecution of this awful war. He could have and should have ended this fight quickly to avoid needless Ukrainian deaths. History will judge him for that. But his evil accusers in the West deserve a worse judgment and a harsher fate.

An excerpt from, "Murder of The Czar's Family: Complete Story of Their Imprisonment and Execution at Ekaterinburg - One of the Grimmest Tragedies in the History of Royalty" Current History (1916-1940), Vol. 13, No. 2, Part I (NOVEMBER, 1920):

No grimmer or more tragic story than that told in the October issue of Current History of the manner in which the former Czar of Russia and his entire family were slaughtered in cold blood in the remote Ural town of Ekaterinburg, it would seem, could be invented by the most morbidly imaginative of romancers. The Chamber of Horrors of the Russian epileptic, Dostoievsky, has nothing to equal it. That sombre and pathological genius, Leonid Andreiev, whose short stories of Russian life even went beyond those of Dostoievsky in their obsession by the horror of Russian life and the depths of the Russian soul, would have reveled in such a theme, had he lived to read the revelations only now being made of the way in which the Czar, the Czarina, their children and their personal attendants met their death in a remote provincial town on the outskirts of Siberia.

Even in the bare outline which was given in last month's issue of this magazine the story is as horrible as any story by Andreiev or Edgar Allan Poe. But the full story recently published in all details in The London Times masses in black shadows between the cold and naked lines, deepens, touch by touch, the impression of brooding fate, the horror of men's souls.

Those who read this story in full, even those who were hostile to the Czar and his Government during the Romanov regime and have not yet been convinced that the ruthless executions by which the Czar's reign was marked were permitted by the Czar through weakness of character, not through inherent cruelty, cannot but feel compassion for the innocent children who were included in the ghastly murders of the house of Ipatiev. Nor can they fail to be impressed by the unfailing courtesy, patience and humility of the Czar throughout the most cruel and degrading captivity which any deposed monarch ever had to face, by the Czarina's love of her sick boy, by her unfailing devotion to the man to whose downfall, through her blind cult for the sinister priest Rasputin, she had herself so powerfully contributed.

On the heads of this man and woman - the last representatives of Czardom - rested the ultimate responsibility for the woes of modern Russia, for the violent end of many Russian idealists, but they went to their own deaths like the aristocrats of the French Revolution: nobles they were, and nobles they remained to the very end. The quiet courtesy of their demeanor, their unshakable dignity and fortitude of soul, contrast powerfully with the brutality, the cruelty, the unspeakable obscenity of their Bolshevist guards and executioners.

Family Jewels


An excerpt from, "The Bolshevik sale of the Romanov jewels" By Paul Gilbert, October 9, 2020:

There is no greater example of such a large-scale criminal sale in history, than that of the jewels of the Russian Imperial Court – perhaps, the finest collection in the world. The Bolsheviks inherited an impressive legacy, and wasted little time in profiting from the sale of many pieces to eager buyers in the West during the 1920s.

. . .In 1932, the Romanov treasures bought by Armand Hammer could be purchased at American department stores. Later, he opened an antique shop, which sold Easter eggs that belonged to the empresses, icons in jewelled frames of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna, a Fabergé cigarette case commissioned by Maria Feodorovna, her notebook embossed with her monogram and an Imperial crown, among many other items.

Of the 773 items of the Diamond Fund, 569 were sold in the 1920s – 1930s. These Romanov treasures were stolen from the Russian Imperial Family by the Bolsheviks, and bought up by greedy, materialistic buyers in the West. It is hardly possible to find in history an example of such a large-scale and criminal sale.
