Nietzsche, German philosopher, said: "The German is an expert on secret paths to chaos." Churchill wrote: "The Germans, after all, had been belligerent for 2000 years. British public schoolboys were taught that Civilisation stops at the Rhine and the Danube. "A Hun alive is a War in prospect" (Biography William Manchester).
By early 1930s Germany succeeded in arousing in her neighbours the terror at which they were expert, deliberately promoted by Karl von Clausewitz, in two wars, as Schrecklichkeit (terror); the Prussian strategist's secret weapon to shorten wars. In the 1914 war German troops behaved "frightfully", executing, without mercy, civilians, hostages, prisoners, as ordered by superiors. Barbara Tuchman wrote, " Suddenly the world became aware of the beast beneath the German skin".
According to Gerald Flurry, the German roots go further back than Churchill's estimate of 2000 years of belligerency, right back to the Bible and Noah's son Shem. He bore a son Assur, progenitor of those fierce warriors, the Assyrians. Dr Hoch, in his Compendium of World History described ancient Assyria as "the greatest war-making power in history, dedicated to ferocity, bloodshed and manslaughter. Fabled for their fierce barbarism". "The Assyrians came down like a wolf on the fold...". That same barbaric vein continued in their descendants, named by Tacitus c. 55 A.D. as: "The Germani, warlike people". So they ever have remained, warlike and ever aggressive, even in defeat. Evinced in Tiglath Pileser lst, Emperor of Assyria, who conquered Babylon c.1100 BC., hated and feared for his ruthlessness and cruelty in warfare.
James McCabe (History of the World) names the Assyrians: "... a fierce, treacherous race - they never kept faith when it was in their interest to break treaties". Hitler, likewise, totally egoistic, broke faith, promises, treaties, contracts, agreements (as with the Russians, attacking them in 1941, without warning, despite his solid agreement with Stalin, who believed him implicitly), whenever it suited his selfish purpose. Unprovoked war, without warning, i.e. ruthless treachery, lies and deceit are all common in German history from the outset.In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell, bringing a neo-Nazi revival, cultivated strongly through the German Army (Bundeswehr). Nazi Germany came storming back, as the communist stranglehold on East Germany and Eastern Europe was released. Violent racist incidents increased year on year to 1993. In 1993 the Bundestag passed an asylum law, setting firm restrictions on immigrants seeking asylum. Still remaining anti-semitic, with disturbance of Jewish synagogues and cemeteries. Further reports of neo-Nazi revival in Germany.
In June 1991 the Bundestag voted to move their Capital back to Berlin from Bonn (Adenauer's home town). May 1995 Manfred Röder - convicted Nazi terrorist - was invited to address the Bundeswehr. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall there are visible signs of return of the old spirit of independent arrogance, within the whole German nation. Now, again a bona fide world power, second only to the U.S. in arms exports, with a standing army of circa 300,000, the largest in Europe. Already with France's help, leading the EU and soon to be recognised as a major nuclear power. Germany now back on top by usual clever manoeuvring.What do you think of this?Britain, heroic winner of the worst and most deadly combat in history, now facing the massive costs and debts of prolonged war. Now, even worse for its proud history (reaching its peak of Empire in the 19th century), faced with the loss of its beloved colonies and its wealth. At its peak, in the proud Victorian reign, at the turn of the century. Now, as a result of two unsought, terrible wars, losing the cream of its young, virile manhood, reduced to massive debts, with rising unemployment and the return of P.O.Ws, many severely injured.
Gone the splendid days of the Raj, when Britain proudly held its Empire with surprisingly few officers and men. In the space of some 30 years and two world wars only 21 years apart, its century of glorious achievements torn asunder by that murderous, ever-aggressive state of Germany, uncontrollable even by its own imperfect leaders. Germany should have been broken up after WWI, reduced to the collection of smaller states of its early years, and left to fight and murder amongst themselves.
