thus condoned one of the greatest

massacres in human history.

With an understanding reached at Yalta, then

signed into law at Potsdam, the Soviet Union

swallowed vast chunks of German and Polish

territory in the east. In return, Poland itself

devoured large tracts of the former Reich in

the west, including much of Prussia, Pomerania

and the extremely rich,

industrialized province of Silesia.

Despite solemn reassurances by the Allied

leaders that the mass expulsions would be

carried out in an "orderly and humane"

manner, shattering glass and splintering doors

were usually the first sounds a victim heard,

soon followed by angry shouts to clear the

home in thirty, ten, even five minutes.

Thus, by tens and twenties, by hundreds and

thousands, homeless Germans now began trudging

west with no clear goal in mind. Except for

those able-bodied individuals held as slaves

and young girls retained for sex, roughly

eleven million trekkers took to the roads.

Thus began the greatest

death march in history.

A witness:
As they left town in an endless

procession, Polish soldiers fell upon them,

beating and flogging them in a blind rage.

Robbed of all they possessed and literally

stripped of the last of their belongings,

these poor creatures trudged along in

the wind and the rain, with no roof or shelter

over their heads, not knowing where they would

find a new abode.

Of the roughly eleven million victims hurled

from their homes in eastern Germany, an estimated

two million, mostly women and children, perished.

Equally as horrifying, though less well known,

were the nearly one million Germans who died

during similar expulsions in Czechoslovakia,

Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia.

Additionally, an estimated four million more

ethnic Germans were sent east to the Soviet

Union where the odds of surviving as slaves

were worse than as refugees.

Austin J. App:
To slice three or four ancient

provinces from a country, then loot and plunder

nine million people of their houses, farms,

cattle, furniture, and even clothing, and then

expel them "from the land they have

inhabited for 700 years" with no distinction

between the innocent and the guilty, to

drive them like unwanted beasts on foot

to far-off provinces, unprotected, shelterless,

and starving is an atrocity so vast that history

records none vaster.

While Western leaders such as Winston Churchill

later feigned surprise at the tragedy they

had wrought in eastern Germany, little was

said about the deliberate starvation of the

rest of the Reich, and utter silence prevailed

concerning the Allied torture chambers in

Germany, the on-the-spot massacre of Nazi

Party members and SS troops, the death camps

run by Eisenhower, or the hellish Jewish

torture pens in Poland. Taken as a whole, it is a

certainty that far more Germans died during

the first two years of "peace" than died

during the previous six years of war.

CONCLUSION:

Goodrich:
World War Two was the world's worst

war. World War Two was the world's worst war

because of the evil that was unleashed on

millions of helpless men, women and children;

the Allied war waged against Germany, both

during and after the war, were evils so vicious

and so depraved that truly, words have

not yet been invented to describe them.

While one might estimate the incredible

loss of life during and after World War II,

it s almost impossible to calculate the physical

and psychological suffering caused by the

rape, torture and degradation

of the German nation.

Unlike their victims, the victors faced no

post-war prison camps, no slavery, no torture,

no starvation, no rapes, no trials for their

numerous war crimes, and no vilification campaign

that persists to this very day. Quite the

opposite. For the victors, American generals

became American presidents, British prime

ministers became British Knights, Allied soldiers

became the "Greatest Generation," and the

winning side claimed complete and utter

control over the history of World War Two.

Not surprisingly, in the winner's expert hands

the evil crime that was World War Two was quickly

transformed into the "Crusade in Europe," the "War to

End Evil," and the "Good War." Year after

year, decade after decade, a mountain of movies,

tv shows, articles, and books are released

with the sole intent of heaping crime and

guilt on the heads of the victims. At the

same time the victors have elevated themselves

to paragons of virtue by hiding the very real

crimes they committed both during and after the war.

Anyone who can say that the actions of the

Allies were justified hopefully has never

witnessed a screaming child running like

a living torch through a flaming street,

never watched as a man drank his own urine to

stay alive even as a river ran just beyond his

prison fence, never heard the animal shrieks

of the tortured as their genitals are mutilated

or the groans of a bleeding woman begging

for a bullet while the line awaiting its turn

grows longer

- hopefully these people have never seen such things, for only then can

one understand how they might parrot

over and over again the standard refrain,

"they got exactly what they deserved"..

and never lose a moments sleep.

Still, if there is one central truth that

was born of World War Two it is that clearly,

there is no such thing as a "Good War."

Those who say differently are either those

who profit politically or financially from

war, or those who have never witnessed war

up close, in all its horror.
