HITLER & EASTERN EUROPEANS; NATIONALISM ; SCHNEERSON

Maybe nearly a half of Eastern Europeans - included many Ukrainians - allied with the Nazis, and it is helpful for today to understand why

Bit of complexity in the Munich story, from the fact that in the 1930s, Hitler's Germans were not the only 'bad guys'. There were also other bullies, both big and small:

- Stalin's USSR
- Czechs linked to Stalin, who bossed Slovaks, Germans, Poles and Ukrainians, in an artificial, oppressive 'Czechoslovakia'
- Serbians oppressing others in 'Yugoslavia'
- Poles invaded Ukraine post-1918, carving it up with the USSR ... in 1938 Poland bullied Lithuania ... and in 1939 Poland invaded 'Czechoslovakia' even before Hitler did

Hitler was an imperialist aggressor, but Munich was not the turning point - that came later, in March 1939, when Hitler bullied his way into Prague and began ruling over non-Germans for the first time

At the time of 1938 Munich, it was widely thought Chamberlain made a just and fair decision, and it is still often thought so today.

After World War 1, two small Slavic imperialist groups - Czechs and Serbs - pulled off scams, creating oppressive 'mini-empires' under themselves, claiming rule over other ethnicities. Also, Poland was hardly restored when it invaded Ukraine trying to restore its pre-1772 Polish Empire.

Czechoslovakia was run by 'Czecho-Bolsheviks' sympathetic to Stalin; their German regions, admiring 1930s German economic success, were oppressed by Prague. Many in Europe saw the need to rectify the injustices of post-1918 borders, letting all Germans be in Germany.

Just after the 1938 Munich deal, George Henry Lane-Fox Pitt-Rivers (1890-1966), published a book in London, 'The Czech Conspiracy', giving the pro-German side - he was later jailed by Churchill.

What got the war going, was not the Munich deal ... it was the March 1939 Hitler extortion and take-over of Prague and Czechia (tho Hitler let Slovakia loose, and let Poles have their segment back).

Hitler conquering Slavs was inexcusable and ugly, this the moment when Hitler fatally sabotaged Germany ... this gave the British war party the pretext they needed, to make their extreme deal with ruling Polish strongman Edward Rydz-Śmigły, and within 6 months the big war had started.

But in World War II -

Some in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia felt 'liberated' from Stalin by Nazis
Some Ukrainians felt 'liberated' from Poles and Russians by Nazis
Some Slovakians felt 'liberated' from Czechs by Nazis
Some Croatians felt 'liberated' from Serbs by Nazis
Some Hungarians felt Hitler was an ally against post-1918 injustices they had suffered
Also a number of other Europeans sided with Nazis, for either local dispute reasons, or for the sake of fighting 'Bolshevism', seen as fighting the destruction of religion, tradition & the middle class

We will not allow any nationalism to evolve. And we will destroy by fire and sword all those nationalist movements that seek to lead people out of our dictate, as it is done in Georgia, Armenia and Serbia. Instead, we will insure the full prosperity of our nationalism – Zionism, and, more precisely: Jewish fascism, which, in its secrecy and power, is super-fascism.

It is not for nothing that in 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution which defined Zionism as the most blatant “form of racism and racial discrimination”, but repealed this resolution in 1992, because of our triumphant march across the planet. We have made UN a weapon for our goals of seizing power over “all kingdoms and nations.”

Office for Kosovo and Metohija: Kosovo Albanians conducted a forceful seizure of power with police support in the municipality of North Mitrovica in northern Kosovo and Metohija.

Albanians stormed the building of the North Mitrovica municipality and held a session of the local parliament, where Albanians were sworn in to replace Serbs.

This means that the terror against the Serbs in northern Kosmet has been legitimised and will continue until Serb police and military officers return to the province

27 Oct 2022Statement by President von der Leyen on the occasion of her official visit to Kosovo Dear President, Thank you very much. It is very good to be back in Pristina and to see you again. Indeed, we had a very good meeting with intensive talks and we took stock of the progress that Kosovo achieved in the past year.

Dear President,

To reconfirm: Kosovo's place is in the European Union. I am deeply convinced of that. And you are showing it on a daily basis. I will always say that Europe is not complete without Kosovo. That is very clear. And with Russia's war waging against Ukraine, our relations with our Western Balkan partners are more important than ever and have to be intensified. You said, rightly so, that it is an investment in peace, stability and prosperity of our shared continent. So rest assured that the European Union is more committed than ever to the enlargement process. We will support you as well as possible to join us in the European Union. For that, I know a lot of topics are still to be tackled. But thank you very much again for the very good talks we did have. We went in detail into the different challenges. And I am very confident that by working together, we will move forward and one day you will be a member of the European Union. And I am waiting for that as much as you are.

Thank you very much.
