As Allied forces closed in on Berlin in April 1945, the man who once thought all of Europe was within his grasp drove a bullet through his head.

William Vandivert was the first Western photographer on the scene after the battle for Berlin ended. The 33-year-old’s photos speak of death and destruction. During the course of the war, American, British, and Soviet forces launched more than 350 air strikes on Germany’s capital. Thousands of civilian men, women and children were killed, and the city’s famous landmarks were indistinguishable from the rubble.
Vandivert “found almost every famous building (in Berlin) a shambles. In the center of town GIs could walk for blocks and see no living thing, hear nothing but the stillness of death, smell nothing but the stench of death,” LIFE reported.
Underneath the Reich Chancellery, the seat of the German government, Vandivert and other journalists found Hitler’s Fuhrerbunker, or “shelter for the leader.” They used candles to illuminate the dark, sordid room, searching for clues about Hitler’s last moments.
They found desks, newspapers and dust. It was evident that the Russian combat engineers who first burned through Hitler’s door had looted his hiding place.
Vandivert wrote to his editors in New York, describing the grisly scene.
I recently posted that the voice against Israel’s Policies is not Anti Semitic.
Then I did some research.
I came across a Link through Der Spiegel The German News Paper on a List prepared By Simon Wiesenthal who is responsible for the hunting down of Nazis accused of War Crimes during Hitler’s Regime.
I was shocked to find that the Anti Semitic Groups are quite active and they continue to spew venom.
I am also surprised at the number of Islamic terrorist Groups which target Jews.
Historically Islam treated the Jews better comparatively than the other Groups of the World(Ref.O!Jerusalem,The Rise and fall of the Third Reich)
Such activities are to be dissuaded, if not nipped in the bud by the respective Governments as this virus if transnational.

EUROPEAN FOOTBALL (SOCCER) FANS’ ANTI-SEMITISM
The problem of anti-Semitic abuse at soccer matches which until
recently has been limited to Eastern Europe, has been revived in Western
Europe. The most serious situation has been a resurgence of anti-Semitic
chanting toward one particular team, Tottenham Hotspur, which is based
in a traditionally Jewish section of London. In a recent match against
a rival West Ham United, sections of its fans chanted, “Adolf Hitler’s
coming for you” and “You’re getting gassed in the morning” and
making hissing noises like the sound of a gas chamber. A reporter for the
Telegraph said, “We are not talking about a few isolated crooners here.
A significant proportion of West Ham’s travelling support participated.“
Because Tottenham has the largest Jewish fan base in England, it has long
been the target of anti-Semitism—so much so that the fans have adopted
the slurs “Yid” and “Yiddo” as a way of deflecting abuse.

Holy Day of Atonement Keynote Address, Mosque Maryam, Chicago
In a new revelation information has surfaced that, contrary to the belief that the public were against Hitler and Nazism, ordinary soldiers enjoyed killing women and children.
Read On.
Tainted: German soldiers crouch over the bodies of two shot down civilians
For years the blame for horrific war crimes, rape and genocide were laid at the hands of the SS and Hitler’s right hand men but a new book details how widespread the barbarity went.
Transcripts taken from hidden microphones on prisoners of war have been collated for the disturbing book Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing and Dying: The Secret Second World War Tapes of German POWs.
Between 1940 and 1945 the British and Americans bugged about 13,000 German and several hundred Italian soldiers of all ranks and services – many of which in the Trent Park detention centre for POWs in north London.
It was hoped the recordings would reveal military secrets of potentially strategic importance, instead they catalogued open and uncensored conversations about war experiences – often as to boast.
Evil: It appears the atrocities carried out by the SS and Adolf Hitler’s henchmen were a lot more widespread and done by ordinary soldiers
They detail not only the extreme level of violence but a disturbing sense of enjoyment from the soldiers.
One example of many recounts: ‘There was an event in the market square, crowds of people, speeches given. We really sprayed them! That was fun!’
Another reveals the following conversation: ‘We once did a strafing near Eastbourne. We flew up and saw a big castle; there seemed to be a ball or something – anyhow a lot of ladies in evening dress and a band.
‘The first time we flew past; then we attacked and kept at it. Boy oh boy, was that fun.’
Another reveals: ‘I loved dropping bombs. It makes you feel all tingly, a great feeling. It’s as good as shooting someone down.’
The book, which has been compiled by German historians Soenke Neitzel and Harald Welzer has been translated in to English for the first time, dispelling myths that German soldiers were not responsible for such war crimes.
It offers a bleak inside view of World War II and in doing so, they destroy once and for the myth of a ‘clean’ Wehrmacht – the German name for the armed forced.
The soldiers talk about their views of the enemy and their own leaders, discuss the details of combat missions and trade astonishingly detailed accounts of the atrocities they both witnessed and committed.”
Whatever be the source of Knowledge or Whence it comes from, it is worth noting .
Mein Kampf
Hitler, no doubt, was , a Megalomaniac, a butcher who sent people to Gas Chambers to create Lebensraum (Living Space for Aryans),suppressed dissent with an iron fist and a Dictator of the worst Order.
But that does not mean what ever he had to say is non-sense.
” It was Nationalist,but unfortunately it paid too little heed to social problems” (Mein Kampf p.113)
True, Nationalism without addressing Social Problems is worthless.
On Doctrines without Spiritual Base.
“”all attempts to exterminate a Doctrine,without a Spiritual basis of attack against it,and to wipe out all the organizations it has created ,have led in many cases to the very opposite being achieved”( Mein Kampf-p. 152)
Right.Any Doctrine/Party without Spiritual basis is harmful to the Society,
On Prostitution.
“Prostitution is a disgrace to Humanity and can not be removed simply by Academic or Charitable methods.Its restriction and final extermination presupposes the removal of a whole series of contributory circumstances. The first remedy must always be to establish such conditions as will make early marriages possible,especially for young men-for women are,only passive subjects in this matter”
On Spurious Literature and Adults Only.
“In almost all the various fields of of German Art and Culture those morbid phenomena may be observed.Here every thing seems to have crossed the culminating point of excellence and to have entered the curve of hasty decline…….
A sad symptom of decline was manifested by the fact that in the case of many ‘Art Centres’ the sign was posted on the entrance doors:
For Adults Only”
I have quoted some which are of relevance but this is not to approve of what he did.
Most of Hitler’s ideas were good.
It is unfortunate that he did not have a Mentor like Alexander had-Aristotle!
It is good that the Mein Kampf is being republished in Germany and Bavaria.
Mein Kampf must be made available with the necessary annotations as to what is to be not followed with explanations thereof.
Story:
One of the most controversial books in history is about to come back into print in its homeland — something that hasn’t been true in nearly 70 years. On Monday, the German state of Bavaria announced plans to publish an annotated version of Adolf Hitler’s infamous “Mein Kampf,” according to Der Spiegel.
“Mein Kampf” is currently banned in Austria and Russia, the Daily Mail writes. But contrary to popular belief, the notorious book is not banned in Germany — Bavaria has simply prevented its printing in an effort to control production, the AP notes.
In January, a German magazine ignited controversy when it tried to publish excerpts from the book alongside critical commentary, the New York Times reports. German authorities took the matter to court, which ruled that any publication of the book violated Bavaria’s copyright.
But now, with the copyright expiration drawing near, Bavaria is publishing its own version of the book and calling it damage control. Der Spiegel reports that the book will include commentaries that condemn Hitler’s arguments.
A British publisher plans to sell excerpts from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” in Germany, claiming he wants to demystify the infamous book. But the controversial move could provoke a legal dispute with the Bavarian government, which owns the copyright and refuses reprint permission.
Is it permissible to sit in a cafe and read Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf?” British publisher Peter McGee, 51, has no doubt. “Of course it is. It’s long overdue that a broad public should get the opportunity to deal with the original text.”
And because McGee is so sure he’s right, he plans to serialize extracts of the book in three small 15-page brochures with an initial print run of 100,000 copies each. The front cover features a photo of Hitler with a black bar obscuring his eyes and a headline that translates to “The unreadable book.”
The plans could trigger opposition from Bavarian civil servants, though. Contrary to common belief, “Mein Kampf” is not banned in Germany. But the state of Bavaria, which seized Hitler’s assets after his death, owns the copyright to his infamous treatise and has so far consistently prohibited efforts to reprint it.
McGee likes a fight and is no stranger to scandal. In 2009, he published reprints of vintage Nazi newspapers like Der Angriff and Völkischer Beobachter with print runs of up to 300,000, delivered alongside comments from historians.
Confiscated By Police
The move caused a minor uproar in Germany, with the conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung warning of an “embellishment of horror” and the Central Council of Jews in Germany labelling the reprints potential “blueprints for budding Nazis.”
The row escalated and the Bavarian government, which also owns the copyright to the two newspapers, dispatched police throughout the nation to seize the republished copies.
There have long been periodic calls from historians for “Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler’s seminal work of hate and prejudice, to be republished in German. If an annotated, academic version of the polemic comes out, so goes the argument, it could take the wind out of neo-Nazi sails once the book is no longer protected by copyright.
Now, a new version is in the works. According to a Wednesday report on German radio, the Munich Institute of Contemporary History is working on an annotated edition complete with notes on where the ideas Hitler expounds on in his book originated.
But the state of Bavaria, which holds the “Mein Kampf” (“My Struggle”) copyright, says that it doesn’t plan on allowing the new version to hit the shelves before the book enters the public domain.
“The state government is not planning on changing course,” the Bavarian government said in a statement to the Bayerischer Rundfunk public radio station. “No permission has been granted to the Institute of Contemporary History.”
70 Years after Hitler’s Death
Nevertheless, institute head Horst Möller says that work on the new edition, undertaken by historians Edith Raim and Othmar Plöckinger, will go ahead. “If we complete the text prior to the end of the copyright, we can approach the authorities once again,” he told Bayerischer Rundfunk.'( source : er Spiegel)
