NASA's Nazi Memorials - Honouring War Criminals 2024
In 2024, several Nazi war criminals that were brought to America under Operation Paperclip in 1945 to work on the US ballistic missile and space programmes, are widely honoured. These men were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, mostly of slave labourers forced to build Nazi rockets, and were also active Nazi Party members and SS officers. It is an interesting moral problem for NASA, other space organisations and the American public to wrestle with - should such men, that got America to the Moon in 1969 still be accorded such honours?

The King's WWII Secret - Did George VI Abuse His Power?
My thanks to HM The King for kind permission to reproduce documents from The Royal Archives at Windsor Castle. In 1945, a top secret mission was ordered by King George VI, a mission to help some of his German relatives, some of whom had been close to Hitler or had fought against the Allies. This mission was covered up until now, when, following exhaustive research, I finally found the truth, a truth that gives us a different and new perspective on Britain's wartime king. Special thanks to Mr. Geoff Crump of the Cheshire Regiment Museum for all of his very kind research assistance. Thanks also to Gavin Gardiner for answering my questions regarding the McConnell shotguns.

Most people know that Himmler tried to negotiate with the Western Allies in the last weeks of the war in Europe, but few realise that he actually negotiated extensively with the British and Americans going all the way back to 1940 - his aim? Topple Hitler, make himself leader and end the war in the West. It has also been suspected that Himmler had links with the German resistance movement, links nobody talks about today.

When the State of Israel was declared in 1948, the nation had many enemies and few tanks. Desperate for armour, Israeli agents searched Europe for old tanks to buy and transport to Israel.

From Bormann's Secretary to British Housewife - Hitler Bunker Escaper Else Krüger
Else Krüger is not a name many associate with Hitler's bunker, but as Martin Bormann's senior secretary, she was present to the end, and even managed to escape to the British occupation zone.

For over a year, I've been trying to find the truth. What I've found adds some important new information to the last days of the Third Reich, and suggests Fraulein Krüger knew more than she let on.

Find the Führer - The Secret Soviet Investigation Episode 6: The Forgotten Theory
The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West.

Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife.

Following his abdication in 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II moved to the Netherlands. He died there, at his estate Huis Doorn, in June 1941 whilst the Netherlands was under German occupation. He gave express instructions that his funeral was not to include Nazi symbolism, as he had been a vocal critic of Hitler and particularly his anti-semitic policies. But, the Nazis ignored the Kaiser's wishes and he was given a funeral containing a lot of NSDAP symbolism. It was a final insult from Hitler, who despised the Kaiser and all he stood for.
