If Germany Declared Peace

By Nicholas Kollerstrom ∙ May 1, 2012

Germany has been, since World War II, an occupied nation. No peace treaty has ever been signed, occupying armies still remain there—and Germany continues to function under a foreign constitution, prepared by the victors of WW2.[1] It owns a massive amount of gold, three and a half thousand tons of it, more than any country…

How Britain Pioneered City Bombing

Terrible mass mortality came about in the German labour-camps, especially towards the end of the war, but…
