On 8 May 1995, the British prime minister, John Major, referred to the end of World War II as the end of a thirty years’ war; in this, he was correct: both sides saw this war as an attempt to complete a task left undone at the close of the First World War – the show-down which ended European global domination. The Second World War was, however, the ultimate catastrophe of modern history, laying waste the heart and soul of Europe. Here you will find contributions about this conflict, its prelude, conduct, and personalities – excluding non-military Nazi personalities, which are covered under the entry “Third Reich Era.” Also covered are contributions dealing with war crimes (and lies about alleged war crimes) committed in the course of the conflict. This does not include the “Holocaust,” which has a separate entry (and is not a war crime in the strict sense).

In October 2017 CODOH ran the story “Anne Frank, a Cold Case” about former FBI Agent Vincent Pankoke. Mr. Pankoke has set up a website and is trying to raise $5,000,000 to “crack the case of Anne Frank,” specifically trying to identify who was behind “the betrayal that led to her death in a concentration…

One of the many anomalies concerning the Holocaust is that the three leaders of the Western Allies – Eisenhower, De Gaulle and Churchill – did not seem to be aware of it. Despite Nuremberg and despite that they, of all people, were highly informed in every aspect of the war, their memoirs are unexpectedly laconic…

Churchill was above all a man who craved power, and a man who craves power, craves opportunity to advance himself no matter what the cost. Churchill and his "Focus" group received millions of pounds from the Czech government to overthrow Chamberlain. This constituted treason. English classical liberal John Morley, after working with Churchill, passed a…

Abstract I have been asked the question: Why do you think the German euthanasia program happened during World War II, but not the Holocaust? This article will show that the evidence for the German euthanasia program is overwhelming, while the evidence to support the Holocaust story is severely lacking. Written Order In August 1939, Hitler…

Establishment historians state that Adolf Hitler made a mistake when he declared war on the United States. This article will explain why Hitler was forced to declare war on the United States.

Apologies to Jeff Sessions for the paraphrase making the title above. Sessions, of course, said that good people don’t smoke marijuana, an obviously false statement whose near-infinite sweep invites comparison with the ubiquitous demonology in which everyone who grew up after World War II in any of the major countries of the West has been…

David Irving has been one of the historians who have been able to influence greatly the narrative of WWII, the Nazi Era, and thereby opened up big questions about the Holocaust orthodox narrative. Here is a two-hour video presentation on his book Churchill´s War. As usual, the brilliant English author, incredible researcher and superb and witty orator, spills…

For more than thirty years, historians have been aware of once-secret memoranda by senior British intelligence official Victor Cavendish-Bentinck in which he casts doubt on the alleged use of homicidal gas chambers by National Socialist Germany. A broader range of British documents tells us more about the role of British propaganda regarding homicidal gassing claims: Britain’s Political Warfare Executive and its predecessor first deployed stories of homicidal gassing as part of propaganda efforts in two areas unconnected to treatment of Jews. Their objective was to spread dissension and demoralization among German soldiers and civilians, and among Germany’s allies. Partly because they knew of these earlier propagandist initiatives, some British intelligence officials disbelieved later stories about homicidal gas chambers.

A reader of my summer 2016 article in Inconvenient History, “How the Allies Launched the Holocaust at Casablanca in 1943” opined sophomorically that, in view of subsequent events, how much grief and destruction the Germans might have spared themselves if they had, as was there and then demanded of them, just thrown down their arms…

The upsurge of nostalgia for Joseph Stalin in Russia is a remembrance of the greatness that Russia achieved during that era, and one which many Russians hope to see renewed. A notable seeming paradox is that this revival of Stalinism is related more to Russian messianic Slavophilism, which sees Russia as having a unique world-mission,…
