None was ever charged with any…

The Malmédy Massacre and Trial

In 1977, I received a newspaper clipping from a reader of my Own publication, The Military Journal.

When I speak of so-called National Socialist (hereinafter: NS) crimes of violence, this correctly indicates my conviction that the legend of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" is a fiction.

How the British Obtained the Confessions of Rudolf Höss

Rudolf Höss was the first of three successive commandants of the Auschwitz concentration camp. He is often called “the Commandant of Auschwitz,” and the general public knows of him from a book published under the title Commandant in Auschwitz.
