A Russian lawmaker has issued a fiery warning that Warsaw is next in line for “de-nazification” after Poland’s Prime Minister penned an op-ed calling Russia’s imperialist “Russkiy Mir” ideology a “cancer” consuming Russian society and a “deadly threat” to other countries. Oleg Morozov, chairman of Russia’s State Duma Committee on Control, wrote in a message on Telegram on Friday that the Polish leader’s comments have essentially made Poland a target. In his remarks, Morozov resorted to the Kremlin’s rhetoric in its military operation in Ukraine of so-called “de-Nazification,” a label Moscow has used to vilify its geopolitical adversaries and justify...

A prominent Russian state TV host has warned that opponents of Russia's war in Ukraine will face harsh punishments including 'concentration camps and sterilisation'. Karen Shakhnazarov, a pro-Putin filmmaker, said any 'opponents to the letter Z' - the symbol of Russia's invasion - will face 'no mercy'. 'The opponents of the letter Z must understand that if they are counting on mercy, no, there will be no mercy for them,' Shakhnazarov, who leads the state-backed Mosfilm film studio, said on the state-owned Russian television channel Russia 1. 'It's all become very serious. In this case, it means concentration camps, re-education...

Russia has stepped up its propaganda war against Sweden by producing bus stop advertisements accusing the peaceful Scandinavian nation of being Nazis. The hybrid warfare strategy comes as Sweden prepares for NATO accession, abandoning decades of neutrality in light of Moscow's military aggression towards Ukraine. The provocation comes hot on the heels of Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov's incendiary comments that 'Hitler had Jewish blood', which drew demands for an apology from Israel. The campaign has seen adverts pop up in Russia depicting various Swedish national heroes as Nazis with the slogan: 'We are against Nazism, they are not.' The...

Ukraine appears to be keeping its grip on Kharkiv despite Russian troops storming into the city centre this morning, as troops in Kyiv continue to defy Vladimir Putin's army - despite another night of heavy shelling in the capital. Footage shared on social media Sunday morning showed Russian trucks rolling through the city - Ukraine's second largest with a population of 1.4million - which sits in Eastern Ukraine close to the border with Russia. Soldiers were also seen marching through Kharkiv on foot, with a very dramatic clip showing Russians slowly advancing along a road before running and firing their...

The Jewish community in the historic Ukrainian city of Uman — site of the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the revered founder of the Breslover Hasidim — is actively providing medical and logistical assistance to Ukraine’s armed forces in the face of the ongoing Russian military invasion. “We love Ukraine and we will defend it,” Haim Hazin, a representative of the community, told the Ukrainian news outlet Telegraf on Wednesday, as Russian forces attacked targets around the country in earnest. The community has already provided practical assistance to the Ukrainian armed forces. “At the beginning of hostilities, we handed...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has become increasingly frustrated with his advisers tasked with crafting a new U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and recently suggested firing the war's top military commander during a tense meeting at the White House, according to senior administration officials. During the July 19 meeting, Trump repeatedly suggested that Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford replace Gen. John Nicholson, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, because he is not winning the war, the officials said. Trump has not met Nicholson, and the Pentagon has been considering extending...

Okay, I'm reading about a movie The Counterfeiters when I come across a reference to Bernhard Krüger, a real life basis for the main Nazi character Herzog. Who went through a special trial court for denazification, post allied victory of WWII.

Exclusive Right Side News | On Monday, July 1st, 2013 Croatia will join the European Union. The year 2013 will witness a twin evil—imminently. As Kosovo is finally surrendered to terrorists by the nation it gave birth to (Serbia)—entering the “family of nations”—the E.U. this Monday will welcome the never de-Nazified Croatia as its newest member. It will be the consummation of backwards Western Balkan policy of the 90s, when the fascist remnants of both Kosovo and Croatia managed to recruit not only the world to its corner but also unlikely Jewish cheerleaders. Sadly, the cheering continues—from the pages of...

The president declared victory over a year ago, but terrorists continue to pick off U.S. troops and even American civilians at the rate of three per day. The maniacal dictator may be long gone, but his hard-core followers continue to wreak havoc across the land, with the interim government seemingly powerless to stop the mayhem. Back home, the press takes an increasingly pessimistic tone, with some of the most prominent news organs pronouncing the U.S.'s postwar strategy an abject failure. Iraq 2004? Not exactly.Try Germany 1946, in the first year after World War II.To hear the liberals tell the story,...

We are in a cabin deep down below decks on a Navy ship jam-packed with troops that’s pitching and creaking its way across the Atlantic in a winter gale. There is a man in every bunk. There’s a man wedged into every corner. There’s a man in every chair. The air is dense with cigarette smoke and with the staleness of packed troops and sour wool. “Don’t think I’m sticking up for the Germans,” puts in the lanky young captain in the upper berth, “but…” “To hell with the Germans,” says the broad-shouldered dark lieutenant. “It’s what our boys have...

While world leaders and much of the media gushed over the death of terrorist "statesman" Yasser Arafat, columnist George Will took a different tack on Sunday, blasting Arafat as a thug whose people now need a crash program of "de-Nazification" thanks to his leadership. Under Arafat's direction, Palestinian schools now teach "a kind of virulent anti-Semitism akin to that in Nazi Germany," Will told ABC's "This Week." "We need ten years of de-Nazification to get over what the Oslo Accords produced when they brought that thug [Arafat] and his thug-ocracy back to Palestine," he said. "Palestinian leaders supported Germany and...

<p>How can the Americans and British break the remaining grip the Baath Socialist Party has over the Iraqi people? The last time the Allies faced a comparable problem was at the end of the World War II, when the defeat of Germany left them with the task of re-educating a nation defeated on the battlefield but still saturated with Nazi doctrines. Just as Germany was successfully de-Nazified, the challenge today is to "de-Baathify" Iraq.</p>

HER dusty file was one of hundreds of thousands of documents stacked in a house in a wealthy neighbourhood of Baghdad. Asma Rasheed married a pilot, lived comfortably in the presidential compound of Saddam Hussein and directed a microbiology programme that was not supposed to exist. Rasheed’s light blue folder has emerged from a huge archive seized by forces loyal to Ahmed Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress, which opposed Saddam. The archive — a dark who’s who of Iraq — reveals the tiniest details of blandishments and humiliations by a paranoid regime that shared the Nazis’ obsession...

THE DENAZIFICATION of Germany from 1945 to the mid-1950s remains an effort of questionable effectiveness. To some it went too far, to others not far enough. In Iraq, there can be no question that a deBaathification is necessary, despite the difficulty of the task. Saddam Hussein's Baath Party was modeled on the Nazi Party, though Hussein later turned his regime into a replica of Josef Stalin's. The Baath, or renaissance, Party carries the motto "Unity, Freedom, Socialism." It is less a political party than a quasi-religious social and political movement that demands complete allegiance to the goal of universal, permanent...
