America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away
By: Kitty Werthmann
What I am about to tell you is something you've probably never heard or will ever read in history books.
I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that
Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We
elected him by a landslide - 98% of the vote.. I've never read that in
any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in
with his tanks and took Austria by force.
In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our
workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan
interest rates.
Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young
people were going from house to house begging for food.. Not that they
didn't want to work; there simply weren't any jobs. My mother was a
Christian woman and believed in helping people in need.. Every day we
cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry
people - about 30 daily.
The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each
other. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna, Linz, and Graz were
destroyed. The people became desperate and petitioned the government to
let them decide what kind of government they wanted.
We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been
in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn't have unemployment
or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said
about persecution of any group -- Jewish or otherwise. We were led to
believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in
Austria . We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of
unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses
would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight
percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have
Hitler for our ruler.
We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had
candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and
everyone was fed.

These mass rapes were one of the greatest crimes against women throughout history. Rapists were mainly Red Army soldiers, many of them - non-white soldiers from the Asian republics of the Soviet Union.. However, unfortunately, it must be said that many rapists, were American soldiers. They certainly behaved like animals, but they had official sanction. The European women of those nations that had been allies of Nazi Germany were targeted too.
Millions of women victims raped by Russian soldiers during the last months of World War II. Anthony Beevor's book "Berlin -- The Downfall 1945" documents rape by Russian soldiers. "Beevor's conclusions are that in response to the vast scale of casualties inflicted on them by the Germans the Soviets responded in kind, and that included rape on a vast scale. It started as soon as the Red Army entered East Prussia and Silesia in 1944, and in many towns and villages every female aged from 10 to 80 was raped." The author "was 'shaken to the core' to discover that even their own Russian and Polish women and girls liberated from German concentration camps were also violated." Until recent years, East German women from the World War II era referred to the Red Army war memorial in Berlin as "the Tomb of the Unknown Rapist."
There is hardly a more disgusting act of violence (sexual assault) against a child or a woman! That a "man" feels free to perpetrate such an act with such a warped sense of self righteousness.... (through all theae centuries women are still seen the human cattle, good only for breeding or slaughter).
ReplyDeleteAnd in war..... "to the Victor go the spoils".
This just doesn't fly with how my Father raised me! I can imagine that many of those American soldiers weren't raised to think rape could ever be "acceptable"..... I've heard an occasional combat vet say, "it was war, and you do things you never thought you'd do".....
Yeah, but rape ain't one of em'.....
