I meant to type this up yesterday but oh well.
ALLIED WAR CRIMES
1. The Morgenthau Plan- Thought up in the office of Harry Dexter White, this plan would have turned Germany into pastureland and would have starved to death millions of Germans. Both FDR and Churchill initially agreed with this plan until it leaked to the press then both would immediately disown it. The press would deride it as "wild Semitism bent on vengeance" (meaning Morgenthau was Jewish). In the words of Edmund Burke, "I would not know how to level a charge against an entire people," yet this plan did exactly that.
2. Churchill would order his secret service agents to 'set Europe ablaze' meaning terrorist tactics using the assasination of German pilots and military officers, sabotage of trains, bombing of buildings, and execution of collaborators. The French Maquis and Italian Partisans (two Communist groups) would do the same.
3. The firebombing of the "Florence of the Elbe"- Dresden was a relatively defenseless German city of 630,000 with thousands of refugees fleeing the Red Army. Before Churchill left for Yalta he ordered Operation Thunderclap, the use of Allied air power to 'dehouse' German civilians and it was British Air Marshall Arthur 'Bomber' Harris who put Dresden on the target list. In two waves three hours apart Lancaster bombers unloaded 650,000 pounds of incedinary explosives and then 1,474 pounds of heavy explosives and then American B-17s and their fighter escorts would strafe fleeing survivors. The fires burned for seven days and burned up to 1,650 acres of land (compared to the 100 acres burned in the German raid on Coventry) and the estimates of the dead there run all the way to 250,000 innocent people.
4. General Curtis LeMay and Robert McNamara would put Tokyo on the target list and LeMay's B-29s went into action over Tokyo burning the wood and paper Japenese capital and cooking the people there like human lobsters. Official American estimates run at 87,000 people but no one knows what the true numbers are. Weeks later Harry Truman ordered atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing 80,000 in the first strike and 40,000 in the second strike. Asked if he agonized over burning to death over one-hundred thousand Japenese civilians Truman replied, "I never gave it a second thought."
5. Churchill would send back Kulaks and even Russian POWs back to Stalin to be tortured and killed along with Truman sending back 2 million Russian prisoners of war to be tortured and murdered by Stalin during Operation Keelhaul.
6. Churchill and FDR would sell Eastern Europe to Stalin without one bit of protest, FDR himself saying he was "tired of Eastern Europeans and their obsession with borders." While Churchill and Britain would declare war against Germany over Poland (which Russia had attacked as well) he would give it over to Stalin and he and FDR would continually slober all over the 'Old Bear' with their love of him. The Red Army would rape and kill over 2 million German civilians and then 15 million Germans would be ethnically cleansed from land which their ancestors had lived on for decades. Churchill and FDR would sell these crimes against humanity as 'triumphs for democracy.' By 1946 Churchill would tell of an 'Iron Curtain' which would be the proper words of which Churchill knew full well of since he and the Old Bear drew up the 'Iron Curtain' at Tehran and Yalta.
7. Czechoslovakia, founded on the 'freedom, equality, and democracy of Tomas Masaryk' to borrow from President Bush would not let their dissident Germans go back to their Fatherland. After the war the Czechs would solve their dissident German problem by the ethnic cleansing of 3 million Germans, a crime against humanity President Bush politely passed over in his tribute to Czech 'democracy.'
While FDR continues to this day to be seen as the third greatest President Churchill seemed to realize that his mistakes were costly. "Historians are apt to judge war ministers less by victories acheived under them than by the outcomes which flowed from such decisions. Judged by this standard I am not sure I shall held to have done well."
