A Forgotten Chapter: Holland Under the Third Reich

"The Other Side" as well. These are historical facts, and we have to take them into account.

Hanno and I have discussed this, and with some trepidation but in the interests of history perhaps, we should recognise the other side in that 22,000 Dutch nationals joined the SS. In a dangerous extrapolation therefore one could assume that the friends and family of these people were supportive and sympathetic, this would make a fairly large number.

Also, and it needs research into the really dry historical accounts, that some of the German occupied countries at the start of WWII were already well into ethnic/religious cleansing without the help of Mr. Schickelgruber; in fact he may well have got the idea from these places.

The most forceful anti-semitic writer was the Henry Ford writing in his Dearborn News, so much so that Mr Schickelgruber had the articles gathered as a compendium and were required reading for senior officers.

Not to forget either that "Holocaust" is not a new idea, we thought it up and started it off in medieval times.
