Evils of Eisenhower's personal Holocaust as He
Slaughter Millions
Eisenhower, in his personal letters, did not merely hate the
Nazi Regime, and the few who imposed its will down from the top, but that HE
HATED THE GERMAN PEOPLE AS A RACE. It was his personal intent to destroy as
many of them as he could, and one way was to wipe out as many prisoners of war
as possible. Of course, that was
illegal under International law, so he issued an order on March 10, 1945 and
verified by his initials on a cable of that date, that German Prisoners of War
be predesignated as "Disarmed Enemy Forces" called in these reports
as DEF. He ordered that these Germans did not fall under the Geneva Rules, and
were not to be fed or given any water or medical attention. The Swiss Red Cross
was not to inspect the camps, for under the DEF classification, they had no
such authority or jurisdiction
The prisoners received on the first day a small portion of
food, but on the second and subsequent days it was cut in half. To get it, they
were forced to run through the formation of soldiers. Hunched over, they ran
between the rows of American guards who beat them with sticks as they approach
to food. April 27 they were transferred to the American camp Heidesheim, where
for several days there was no food at all, and then only slightly.
Under the open sky,
starved, tortured by thirst, people began to die. Liebig counted daily from 10
to 30 bodies that were dragged out of his section "B", which
contained about 5,200 people. He saw the prisoner scored another to death
because of a small piece of bread.
One night, when the
rain came, Liebig said that the walls of the hole dug in the sandy ground to
cover, hit the people who were too weak to get out from under them. They
suffocated before it could come to the aid of their comrades ...
German POW's Diary Reveals More Of Ike's Holocaust
12-29-3 Note - The following diary
extract has been provided by the nephew of the author under the conditions we
honor his request for anonymity. -ed A
transcript of my Uncle's words...from my Mother's diary: "Suddenly an American Jeep moved
towards us and several American Soldiers surrounded us. There was no officer in
charge, and the first thing the 'Amis' did - they liberated us, I mean, from
our few valuables, mainly rings and watches........ We were now prisoners of
war- no doubt about it! The first night
we were herded into a barn, where we met about 100 men who shared the same
fate. To make my story short, we were finally transported to Fuerstenfeldbruck
near Munich. Here we, who were gathered around Hermann, interrupted him and
gasped in dismay. Fuerstenfeldbruck had
become known to us as one of the most cruel POW camps in the American
zone.
Then my brother continued:
Again we were searched and had to surrender everything, even our field
utensils, except a spoon. Here, in freezing temperature, 20,000 of us were
squeezed together on the naked ground, without blanket or cover, exposed day
and night to the winter weather. For
six days we received neither food nor water! We used our spoons to catch drops
of rain. We were surrounded by heavy
tanks. During the night bright searchlights blinded us, so that sleep was
impossible. We napped from time to time, standing up and leaning against each
other. It was keeping us warmer that sitting on the frozen ground. Many of us were near collapse. One of our
comrades went mad, he jumped around wildly, wailing and whimpering. he was shot
at once. His body was lying on the ground, and we were not allowed to come near
him. He was not he only one. Each suspicious movement caused the guards to
shoot into the crowd, and a few were always hit.
German civilians,
mainly women of the surrounding villages, tried to approach the camp to bring
food and water for us prisoners. they were chased away. Our German officers could finally succeed to
submit an official protest, particularly because of the deprivation of water.
As a response, a fire hose was thrown into the midst of the densely crowded
prisoners and then turned on. Because of the high water pressure the hose moved
violently to and fro. Prisoners tumbled, fell, got up and ran again to catch a
bit of water. In that confusion the water went to waste, and the ground under
us turned into slippery mud. All the while the 'Amis' watched that spectacle,
finding it very funny and most entertaining. They laughed at our predicament as
hard as they could.
Then suddenly, they turned the water off again. We had not expected that the Americans would
behave in such a manner. We could hardly believe it. War brutalizes human
beings. One day later we were organized
into groups of 400 men .... We were to receive two cans of food for each man.
This is how it was to be done: The prisoners had to run through he slippery
mud, and each one had to grab his two cans quickly, at the moment he passed the
guards. One of my comrades slipped and could not run fast enough, He was shot
at once ....
On May 10th , several truckloads of us were transported the
the garrison of Ulm by the Danube..... As each man jumped into the truck, a guard
kicked him in the backbone with his rifle butt. We arrived in the city of Heilbronn by the
Neckar, In the end we counted 240,000 men, who lived on the naked ground and
without cover. Spring and summer were
mild this year, but we were starving. At 6;00 am we received coffee, at noon
about a pint of soup and 100 grams of bread a day........
The 'Amis' gave us newspapers in German language, describing
the terrors of the concentration camps. We did not believe any of it. We
figured the Americans only wanted to demoralize us further. The fields on which we lived belonged to the
farmers of the area...soon nothing of the clover and other sprouting greens
were left, and the trees were barren. We had eaten each blade of
grass..... In some camps there were
Hungarian POW's. 15,000 of them. Mutiny against their officers broke out twice
amongst them. After the second mutiny the Americans decided to use German
prisoners to govern the Hungarians. Since the Hungarians were used as workers
they were well fed. There was more food than they could eat. But when the
Germans asked the Americans for permission to bring the Hungarians' leftovers
into the camps of the starving Germans, it was denied. The Americans rather
destroyed surplus food, than giving it to the Germans. Sometimes it happened that groups of our own
men were gathered and transported away. We presumed they were discharged to go
home, and naturally, we wished to be among them. Much later we heard they were
sent to labor camps! My mother's cousin, feared that he would be drafted into
the Hitler Youth SS, he volunteered to the marines, in 1945 his unit was in
Denmark. On April 20th they were captured by the Americans. his experience in
the POW camp was identical that of my brother's. They lived in open fields, did
not receive and food and water the first six days, and starved nearly to death.
German wives and mothers who wanted to throw loaves of bread over the fence,
were chased off.
The prisoners, just to have something to chew, scraped the
bark from young trees. my cousins job was to report each morning how many had
died during the night. "and these were not just a few!" he adds to
his report he wrote me. It became
known, that the conditions in the POW camps in the American Zone were identical
everywhere. We could therefore safely conclude, that it was by intent and by
orders from higher ups to starve the German POW's and we blamed General
Eisenhower for it. He, who was of German descent could not discern the
evildoers during the Nazi time from our decent people. We held that neglect of
knowledge and understanding severely against him. I wish to quote the inscription on the grave
stones of those of my German compatriots who have already passed away: We had to pass through fire and through
water. But now you have loosened our bonds.
