There are young people who sympathize nazis in Russia, like in many other countries. They don’t tolerate anyone not belonging to the white race, wear big boots and short haircuts and usually celebrate Hitler’s birthday. Stop, it seems here they are failing, as was proved by some Russian anti-nazi blog post.
Russian guy collected the various photos from the WW2 where and showed that Nazi troops have consisted from those who modern nazi lovers have to hate, so preaching Hitler should be totally illogical in their case.
P.S. Your posts are always full of typos…can’t you get someone to look at them before posting? Sheesh……….
Why? I think it’s an interesting post. It just wants to point out that Hitler didn’t follow his own doctrine let alone that he was small with brown hair and hazel eyes, nothing to do with a type of the Aryan race that he proclaimed was the “best race” on the earth. There’s nothing bad, don’t take it personally.
I don’t think their original language is English so why not cut them some slack. They do a better job than a lot of native English speakers I’ve seen.
That said, it always seemed obvious to me that while Hitler professed the white race, he was easy to use any means necessary to achieve his goals. Even joining forces with non-whites. Japan being a perfect example… Italians aren’t exactly blond either.
Hitler was not a white racist (at least not more than other Western leaders at the time). He just was an anti-Semite and used racism as a propaganda tool against Jews only (along with Christianity, anti-Communism, Islam etc)
In short – he was antisemitic, not racist. And he did seek an alliance with post Ottoman, islamic countries. Not only as a tactic but as a doctrine.
oh if only we could all get along….why don’t we have a picture of the commissars and the central committee who many people believe were slav but in fact were mostly jewish, caucasian with a smattering of ukrainian….
Picture 13 shows the members of 13. Waffen Gebirgs Division der SS Handschar. Its personnel was mixed (Bosnians, Croats, Albanians, Germans etc.) and thus, contrary to popular belief, it was not purely Muslim division.
But Albanians were, and are, Moslem. And the excusing of Catholic Croats is hardly a defense of the 13th SS “Handschar” Division, as Croatia was a Fascist state allied with Nazi Germany. The Croats now even use the same “sahovica”/checkerboard emblem on their flag.
“Good” thing that these nations (militarist Croatia, expansionist Albania) are part of NATO now. I mean, if it wasn’t for NATO Serbs and Russians would swallow up all of “cultured” Europe, ha ha (j/k to those who don’t have a grasp of speaky da English…)
Of course Hitler followed his own doctrine. His goal was to defend Europe against the Jewish Bolschevism. To make alliances with other groups with similar interests was progressive.
No one here believes for a second that muslims, indians etc. would have been allowed to immigrate to Europe and mix with the population.
for Dolph: You are clearly a regular to this site so why do you make these kind of statements when it comes to this particular issue? And forget the typos, these guys don’t speak english as their mother tongue(?). For the site managers, I can fix the typos. For free. Congratulations for the world championship. Love your site.
What is the origin of this “nazi african troops” photos? I can’t believe it could be possible. Germans defeated in Africa in 1943 and I can’t believe they could be till this time so desperate to allow any black people wearing german uniform with swastika.
Maybe any of african countries after or before war just had uniforms based on Wehrmacht design (like f.e. Chile still has) and that’s the explanation?
Russians typically are pretty much nazies. During the war they even made pact with Hitler only to justifice territorial occupation in another countries. Occupation still continues. History forced them to start fighting against nationalsocialists and they needed to leave the word “national” away.
Ah, yes–let’s not forget the Latvians committing mass-murder of Jewish victims in the Baltics. Or th 15th SS and 19th SS Latvian Divisions–which patriotic Latvians built a war memorial to. Only in Latvia are the SS so beloved.
Oh yeah, about Africa. Didn´t look like I was able to reply. Pacts. With or without you(it is a song by U2 familiar or not, the thing should be for you). Should we still consider about making Danzig free?
African armies wearing this uniform at the time… Apart from Liberia and South-Africa, which was part of the British Commonwealth, there wasn’t any independent African country – so there weren’t any African armies.
“Hitler didn’t snub me — it was Franklin D. Roosevelt who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram”
You’re kidding right? Did you know 10 million people died at the hand of the Nazi’s? Guess what, only 6 million of them were Jews. That’s 4 million unaccounted and rarely spoken for. As far why there might be blacks on the Nazi side, I only only imagine. Africa isn’t exactly a place of hope and prosperity. If someone tosses a buck your way when your starving to death, you might just join them no matter what their ideals.
Maybe we should make a differentiation between Nazi party/army (and followers) and the werchmacht. To be a german soldier during WWII, doesn’t mean to be a nazi soldier.
My dear friend, you don´t keep repeating that african people are mostly black or that usa is a melting pot of races. Some things just are so obvious.
Several foreign units served the Wehrmacht, they where a part of the Waffen SS as special volunteer SS-units.
(Legion Freies Indien, recruits were Indian student volunteers resident in Germany at the time, and a handful from the Indian PoWs captured by Rommel during his North Africa Campaign)
(250. Einheit spanischer Freiwilliger, a unit of Spanish volunteers that served in the German Army on the Eastern Front of the Second World War)
(30. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS, the majority of them were Russians (with German officers), it also included Belarusians, Ukrainians, Armenians, Tatars)
Amazing photographs!!! I’ve been studying the 3rd Reich for years and I’ve never even heard of the pictures you have on this site. Superb job!
I personally know a UNkrainian who fought for the Nazis purely because he wanted his country back form the Soviets.He actually changed sides twice during the war according to who was winning at the time.
the last picture with the black person on is a member of the freies arabian legion. This according to the armshield he weares. So most likely he’s an arab rather then an african
The photo of the Asian man being questioned by US soldiers is an interesting one to include in this essay. The gent was a Korean, captured and pressed into service by the Japanese, who gave him to the Germans as a ‘foreign worker’, and he was ultimately impressed into the German army; his story was well researched and he never volunteered for any military service. When US Army units overran his position in Normandy shortly after D-Day, they captured the dejected and thoroughly confused “Nazi soldier” – he was freed and returned home with quite a story to tell. But a “Nazi soldier”..? No.
You forgot the photos of the nazi russian and ukranian soldiers during WW2. I beleive the the Ukrainian SS division was the largest Germany had???
One can`t deny the fact of Soviet and Russian resistance of Nazis.but there are “some” deaf dumb and blind has rejects facts of the history.imagine,if Soviets failed at that time when Hitler blitz over the Europe and Africa.even those little tiny and dotted states who blaming Russians and Soviets were never reemerged today.God mit uns.we hate tiny states,we have the power.
Thanks for defending both Russia and Germany and her civilians. My father’s family was axis including Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, and Russia. It was my family [Riemann/Reimann] who were one of the major patriarchs and family friends to Hitler and his rise to power. Although [Riemann/Reimann] is originally [German] and [Nobility], over thousand and five-hundred years we have spread our family-dynasty to Poland, Pomerania, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Estonia, Ukraine, Latvia, and beloved Russia herself.
I thank God everyday that there is websites like this to pay homage to both Russians and Germans in a humanistic way without taking sides always. I lost Russian family fighting the Soviets both alone and alongside my German family’s side in the Wehrmacht with Kosminsky and 2 million other Russians.
All to well my family knows of the death, suffering, torture, pain, and tears under Stalin and the Soviets, but my love for both Germany and Russia I will never deny.
It is very sad when Russia has to be the savior of Germany as Germany tried to be during (WW2) to Russia. It is very sad when Germany and us Germans have to rely on Russia and Russians to build us memorials to our fallen heroes, civilians killed, etc. Sadly in great evil where folk kills fellow folk can there come of good like during (WW1) when us Germans brought forth a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.
I just came across this website and love it, and hope to see more of your articles in the future. It brings me pride both as a Russian and German descent.
Hitler himself in late 1940 when Stalin posed his troops on the border to take Romania and then Germany-unquote:”My problem is not with mother Russia and the Russian people, but the international Jews and Bolsheviks who have hijacked her. It is my sincere hope to bring Russia back into the European way of life that it has been long denied!”
Again Hitler spoke nothing but good in late 1944 to the Finnish President where he apologized to the Russian people for his invasion and nothing but good things, especially the beauty of the Russian people and women in particular and said he should of never allowed the allies to push him to invade.
It wasn’t Russia who bombed Dresden! It wasn’t Russia who butchered my family and 60,000+ others at Danzig, but it was the Jews backed by the Polish-Government and Churchill! It was not Russia who firebombed Germany at Cologone, Berlin, etc, incinerating my family and millions of others! It was not Russia who declared war on Germany but the Allies and Judea, and it was Russia who became our misplaced anger and we payed for it in the end! If Russians can forgive then so can I!
Sadly (WW1) & (WW2) were just more civil-wars where white brothers and sisters were killing each other while the culprits and profiteers and Zionist escaped unharmed. No other family has suffered from (WW1) and (WW2) then both sides of my family [Riemann/Reimann] and [White] which is mothers family.
And as for the term “Aryan”, that term denotes our ancient Indo-European ancestors who were black hair and Brown-eyes, not the Norse version of Red/Blonde hair with Blue-eyes. The term “Aryan” comes from “Iran” formerly “Persia” which means (land of the Aryans) given by Hitler.
Russia is White and Aryan, and to my Russian folk: “Do not let anyone tell you different or make you feel inferior because they are the ones inferior about themselves to put their fellow brothers and sisters down, especially behind a computer screen where anybody could be anybody as that is what the cyber-world is for !”
I myself got out of the bickering and fighting long time ago, because I lost family on all sides, and no one is right if their both wrong!
” All my family info is on my ancestry page for further reference of what I managed to get together so far by the way!”
And to the publisher on this site: ” do not let anyone make fun of your poor English, because I can understand everything you are saying even if their are typos which we all do at some point.”
The photos of muslims taking part as German allies are totally consistent with Nazi ideology because they both hate Jews as a matter of doctrine. The only difference is that the Nazis were new to it, whereas muslims hadd been killing Jews and other “infidels” for over 1300 years by 1945, and continue at it to this day. Hitler aligned himself with various muslim despots and recruited divisions from those areas to fight on the Easter Front. This was an extension of the old Ottoman/Austria-Hungarian relationship from 30 years prior. Now fragmented, the Ottomans joined from their new regional affiliations rather than under the single Turkish umbrella.
Today, Hitler and Nazism is often cited as friend to muslims in their media, and most recently during pro-Hamas protests in the US, Canada and Middle East, as one who embodied the Muhammadan ideal of killing all the Jews.
Every leader in history has followed some form of this maxim. In this case, both Hitler & Stalin were making friends with the other’s enemies. One of Stalin’s generals even surrendered to help the Nazis oust Stalin.
Thay have no idea what happened in WWII, aside that some people died and some person was accused for it.
But nothing can be done, because our media teaches us that way…just as every second american child is convinced that eastern slovenian nations are nothing but terrorists.
read some historybooks, the so called jewish police in the ghettos were built of jews forced either to die or to serve the nazis, so they could live some month longer OMFG
About those Koreans, I heard that some Koreans were forced to served as a part of Japanese army and captured by Russian troops. Then they were also forced to move to western border area of Russian before Nazi invasion. Then they were captured again by Nazi and served as a part of Nazi SS international division.
Please refer to my blog to get some extra info regarding Foreign Volunteers in Waffen SS. I didn’t hear about African ones though, please provide sources.
No they don’t . That would be north Korea , china , Pakistan , Saudi Arabia yugosalvia and India. If you look at the pictures of confiscated weapons of terrorist it would be obvious. There ak s and rpg 7 s look slightly different . Goggle before you acuse please.
2) Stalin killed more of “his” own people, including jews, than Hitler. Numbers don’t lie. So which one is better than the other ? Maybe they were twins
Indian Army didn’t “serve” the Nazis, rather they had a truce with the British and joined hands with the Axis powers, to fight for Indian Independence, under the great leadership of Subhash Chandra Bose.. Indische Legion as named by the SS, constituted mostly of the PoWs captured by Rommel, later named into Azad Hind Fauz (Free India Army).
As a part of our Autumn 2018 touring season, we’ll be presenting the music of Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa in our Triple Bill, under the title ‘I will not speak‘.
Gesualdo found his wife of two years, Donna Maria, in bed with Fabrizio Carafa, who was the Duke of Andria. Gesualdo set up a trap for the pair after suspecting for some time that an affair might be taking place. He announced he was going away for a hunting trip, but instead he returned back to the castle to find the couple together. He murdered the pair on the spot. He used a knife and a gun to brutally kill the two, and the officer reports reveal a gruesome scene. Reports account that Gesualdo returned to the bedroom after initially leaving, declaring that they weren’t dead (eyewitnesses said he just continued to stab his wife in a fit of fury). He then got the bodies dragged out to the front of his palace for the people of the city to see.
Although the evidence against him was monumental, Gesualdo was ultimately not charged due to his social status. Being a nobleman in those times worked to your advantage!
Gesualdo was supposed to become a member of the clergy, and was sent to Rome for training, but then his elder brother unexpectedly died in 1584. That meant when his father died in 1591, Gesualdo became the third Prince of Venosa and eight Count of Conza.
These roles gave him a lot of power across the land. Being this high up in royalty also gave Gesualdo the chance to travel and meet new people. In 1594 he arranged another marriage, this time to Leonora d’Este, the niece of Duke Alfonso II. It was at this point that Gesualdo travelled and spent time in Ferrara.
Carlo Gesauldo’s vocal works were some of the most complex and dynamic pieces of music in the sixteenth century and are still recorded and performed today. He often wrote lyrics about love, death, ecstasy, agony and pain, which gives him a unique point of view on both sacred and secular musics. His six books of madrigals are legendary in Renaissance vocal repertoire, and still influence vocal and choral composers now.
Gesualdo’s legacy has meant his music has inspired many others. This includes a dedication from Igor Stravinsky for his composition Monumentum pro Gesualdo. Peter Maxwell-Davies composed Tenebrae Super Gesualdo in memory of the composer. Also, Australian composer Brett Dean composed Carlo, a work for string orchestra to pay homage to Gesualdo.
So want to hear what all the fuss is about with this prince-murderer-composer? Click here to book tickets to hear some of his most glorious madrigals performed as part of ‘I will not speak’, part of the Triple Bill from English Touring Opera’s Autumn Season. This will be a fantastic opportunity to hear the heart of Gesualdo and his complex, yet troubled music.
During the last elections, school choice became a hot-button topic; and rightly so. Parents are tired of having educational opportunities determined by arbitrary boundaries. School choice encourages growth and discourages stagnation in the public school system. If you're not sure why schools of choice are so important, here are four reasons for you to consider.
If you have children, you want what's best for them. That includes the schools they attend. Unfortunately, without school choice, your children are locked into specific schools based on arbitrary lines drawn up within school districts. Sadly, those arbitrary lines could force your child to attend a failing school. However, school choice puts control back into the parents' hands, which means you can choose which school your child will attend, regardless of the arbitrary boundary lines.
When schools don't offer choices, children suffer. Without school choice, children aren't given all the tools they need to succeed. For your child to have the opportunity to utilize essential tools, you need to have the option of school choice. Through school choice, you can enroll your child in schools that offer programs best suit their needs and interests, including schools that focus on specific areas of study such as the arts or sciences. With school choice, your child will be given all the tools they'll need for a successful education.
One of the problems with enrollment based on boundary lines is that it removes the need for schools to remain competitive. Enrollment is mandatory, which means they can continue with the same system that has failed before and will continue to fail. Not only that, but teachers are forced to teach from the curriculum that's placed before them, which prevents them from utilizing educational materials that could broaden their student's horizons. However, school choice requires schools to remain competitive and allows teachers the ability to go beyond the regimented curriculum. When that happens, all children win.
One of the things that school choice encourages is innovation. Through innovation, new educational concepts can be designed and implemented. Choice encourages new ways of thinking and looking at things. It also encourages children to explore new educational avenues that they might not have been given the opportunity for without school choice.
When it comes to education, the best way to ensure that your child has every opportunity to succeed is to insist on school choice.
The greatest gift a woman can have is to be a mother but, in this age of rush-rush we do not realize that and live our life mindlessly.One fine day we realize "Oh My God its time! It's time for my child to leave my nest and fly." My elder daughter is in twelfth grade and time is running...... how fast it flew. All those times when I used to cuddle her up, play with her are just left as memories.Kids grow up so fast. I realized that in the race of life, numerous special moments were lost. I realized I did not pay much importance and attention to giving her cards on birthdays. This realization swished off my sleep.........
I started a project and tried to work upon it only when she was either away or sleeping. While completing the project I went through an emotional roller coaster.
I know the day will come very soon when she will move on but I want her to know our love for her will only be increasing as life goes on.
WOW such a sweet creation you have made..I didnt know you had such a grown u daughter!! And Thank you for reminding me that time does indeed go so fast.!!
Oh My !!!! its simply simply superb. SHe'd cherish it.... Lovely girls. Can feel the love flowing through the pages...
Thank you Dr Sonia this year and all the coming years be full of happiness and peace for you, your family and for the whole world including me.
It's beautiful, Ghazala! And I have been so lucky to see it all. Every single thing about it speaks of your love for your baby girl. Masha Allah , she is wonderful person all, thanks to you. Lots of prayers and best wishes for you and your family !
