Some months ago Ernst * asked me to do a report on Allied atrocities during and after World War II, and toward that end, he sent me some information, among them a book in German titled, "Alliierte Kriegsverbrechen" - Allied War Crimes.
·
This
refers to Ernst Zuendel, the famed German Canadian freedom
fighter.
I started reading it and underlining certain passages, but not for long-because I realized that I was getting nauseated. It was a compilation of first-person testimony as to what happened when the Allies (particularly the Red Army) started to carve up a prostrated and defeated Germany.
I
made several attempts to finish this assignment, but I couldn't do it. I simply
couldn't do it. Even now, I feel a moral obligation to finish it, but even
thinking about it makes my palms clammy and my heart race. People in the West
have simply no idea what went on in Europe after the Allies began to push the
Germans back - from 1943 on!
I
have given the material below a lot of thought as to whether or not I should
send it to my ZGram readers. It isn't pretty reading. It was published recently
in Der Freiwillige, June 1995, pages 10-11, under the title In Their Terror All
Were Alike, written (or edited) by Hans Koppe.
". . . Since the same old stories of war crimes allegedly
committed by the Germans are being parroted over and over again in prayer-wheel
fashion, particularly by the younger generations who are too lazy (or
deliberately unwilling) to obtain a real grasp of the subject through the study
of documents from the archives of our former enemies' documents which are both
accessible and irrefutable - we wish to call to mind the following report which
first appeared 30 years ago in the Deutschland Journal of April 23, on p. 7 of
issue 17.
It is supplemented with the eyewitness report of an armoured
infantryman who recorded his impressions on March 7, 1995. P. 7, issue 17, April
23, 1965 (Deutschland-Journal). Report of the German-Brazilian citizen Leonora
Geier, nee Cavoa, born on October 22, 1925 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Before the
expulsion she lived in Hirschberg, Bahnstrasse 8.
Present at the writing of this report:
Bernhard Wassmann, born on May 10, 1901, Bautzen, Senftenberger
Strasse 15;
Reiner Halhammer, born on February 3, 1910, Bautzen, Sterngasse
2;
Manfred Haer, born on April 9, 1929, Gorlitz, A.Bebel-Strasse
1;
Kyrill Wratilavo, born on March 3, 1918, Bautzen,
Karl-Marx-Strasse 25.
The witnesses present confirm that the aforementioned, Leonora
Geier, made this report without any coercion, threats or other outside
influence, motivated solely by the need to make the terrible events of the time
of the German Reich's collapse known to posterity since she has received
permission to emigrate to Brazil.
The report was drawn up on October 6, 1955 and discusses the
events of February 16, 17 and 18 1945, which are already partially known. At
that time the witness was employed as typist in Camp "Vilmsee" ofthe RAD), the
Women's Labour Service. Being a Brazilian. she was considered by the Russian
Army to be an ally put to forced labour in the .service of the
National-Socialist state.
These prerogatives were attested to by a document which she
presented here and which bears the rubber stamp of the First White Russian Army.
Since the present report disregards existing moral standards and sexual taboos,
it must under no circumstances be made available to underage persons.
All events are recounted in a plain, straight-forward manner in
order to document historical accuracy. Nothing has been added, nothing was
withheld.*

With the exception of my comments,
which are printed in heavy black and have absolutely nothing to do with THE
ORIGINAL REPORT and have not been authorized or approved by Mrs.
Rimland.
Bernhard Wassmann and Manfred
Haer were members of the Infantry Artillery and Training Company I. G. 81 and
were assigned to rescue operations in the aforementioned camp when the city of
Neustettin was occupied following the temporary retreat of the First White
Russian Army:
"On the morning of
February 16 [19451 a Russian division occupied the Reich Labour Service camp of
Vilmsee in Neustettin. The Commissar, who spoke German well*, informed me that
the camp was dissolved and that, as we were a uniformed unit, we were to be
transported immediately to a collecting camp.
·
A
‘Russian’ Commissar who spoke German well – This means he was in all probability
a Jew, since Russian Jews have for time immemorial spoken Yiddish as a first
language, Russian as a second and German as a third one. Furthermore, most
wealthy Jews of that region send their sons to be educated in Germany. The
average Russian DID NOT speak German as a rule. The average Russian DID NOT
advance to the exalted position of Political Commissar either, but Jews
regularly did.
Since I,
being a Brazilian*, belonged to a nation on friendly terms with the
Allies, he entrusted me with the leadership of the transport which went to
Neustettin, into the yard of what used to be an iron foundry. We were some 500
girls from the Women's Reich Labour Service.
The
Commissar was very polite to us and assigned us to the foreign workers' barracks
of the factory. But the allocated space was too small for 11 of us, and so I
went to speak to the Commissar about it.
He
said that it was, after all, only a temporary arrangement, and offered that I
could come to the typists' office if it was too
crowded for me, which I
gladly accepted. He immediately warned me to avoid any further contact with the
others, as those were members of an illegal army. My protests that this was not
true were cut off with the remark that if I ever said anything like that ever
again, I would be shot.
Suddenly
I heard loud screams, and immediately two Red Army soldiers brought in five
girls. The commissar ordered them to undress. When they refused out of modesty,
he ordered me to do it to them, and for all of us to follow
him.
We
crossed the yard to the former works kitchen, which had been completely cleared
out except for a few tables on the window side. It was terribly cold, and the
poor girls shivered.
In the
large, tiled room some Russians were waiting for us, making remarks that must
have been very obscene, judging from how everything they said drew gales of
laughter.
The
Commissar told me to watch and learn how to turn the Master Race into whimpering
bits of misery. Now two Poles came in, dressed only in trousers, and the girls
cried out at their sight. They quickly grabbed the first of the girls, and bent
her backwards over the edge of the table until her joints cracked. I was close
to passing out as one of them took his knife and, before the very eyes of the
other girls, cut off her right breast. He paused for a moment, then cut off the
other side.
I have
never-heard anyone scream as desperately as that girl. After this operation he
drove his knife into her abdomen several times, which again was accompanied by
the cheers of the Russians.
The
next girl cried for mercy, but in vain, it even seemed that the gruesome deed
was done particularly slowly because she was especially pretty. The other three
had collapsed, they cried for their mothers and begged for a quick death, but
the same fate awaited them as well.
The
last of them was still almost a child, with barely developed breasts. They
literally tore the flesh off her ribs until the white bones
showed.
Another
five girls were brought in. They had been carefully chosen this time. All of
them were well-developed and pretty. When they saw the bodies of their
predecessors they began to cry and scream. Weakly, they tried desperately to
defend themselves, but it did them no good as the Poles grew ever more
cruel.
They
sliced the body of one of them open lengthwise and poured in a can of machine
oil, which they tried to light. A Russian shot one of the other girls in the
genitals before they cut off her breasts.
Loud
howls of approval began when someone brought a saw from a tool chest. This was
used to tear off the breasts of the other girls, which soon caused the floor to
be awash in blood. The Russians were in a blood frenzy.
More
girls were being brought in continually. I saw these grisly proceedings as
through a red haze. Over and over again I heard the terrible screams when the
breasts were tortured, and the loud groans at the mutilation of the
genitals.
When
my knees buckled I was forced onto a chair. The Commissar always made sure that
I was watching, and when I had to throw up they even paused in their
tortures.
One
girl had not undressed completely, she may also have been a little older than
the others, who were around seventeen years of age.
They
soaked her bra with oil and set it on fire, and while she screamed, a thin iron
rod was shoved into her vagina until it came out her
navel.
In
the yard entire groups of girls were clubbed to death after the prettiest of
them had been selected for this torture. The air was filled with the death cries
of many hundreds of girls. But compared to what happened in here, the beating to
death outside was almost humane.
It was a
horrible fact that not one of the girls mutilated here ever fainted. Each of
them suffered mutilation fully conscious. In their terror all of them were alike
in their pleading; it was always the same, the begging for mercy, the
high-pitched scream when the breasts were cut and the groans when the genitals
were mutilated.
The
slaughter was interrupted several times to sweep the blood out of the room and
to clear away the bodies. That evening I succumbed to a severe case of nervous
fever. I do not remember anything from that point on until I came to in a field
hospital.
German
troops had temporarily recaptured Neustettin, thus liberating us. As I learned
later, some 2,000 girls who had been in RAD, BDM and other camps nearby were
murdered in the first three days of Russian occupation."

Copy
of a handwritten report:
"I
read the account of an eyewitness, Mrs. Leonora Geier. The bestiality she
experienced, and described in her account, is 100% true and a typical reflection
of the fantasies and exhortations of the Soviet propagandist and chief
ideologist Ilya Ehrenburg.*
·
Ehrenburg
was a Jew, son of a wealthy St. Petersburg wheat merchant. He had studied
journalism in Paris during WW1, at that time already expressing a pathological
hatred of Germans.
This
bestiality was a tactical measure intended to force the German population to
flee from the Eastern regions en masse, and was the rule rather than the
exception all the way over to the Oder River.
What I
myself witnessed:
I
was an armoured infantryman and had been trained on the most modern German tank
of those days, the Panther. Survivors from tank crews were reassembled in the
Reserves at Cottbus and kept ready for action.
In
mid January, 1945, we were transferred to Frankfurt on the Oder River, into a
school building. One morning we were issued infantry weapons, guns, bazookas and
submachine guns.
The
next day we were ordered to march to Neustettin. We traveled the first 60 miles
or so by lorry, and after that some 90 miles per day in forced
marches.
We
were to take over some tanks that were kept ready for us in a forest west of
Neustettin. After a march lasting two days and nights, some ten crews reached
the forest just before dawn.
Two tanks were immediately readied for action and guarded the approach roads while the other comrades, bone-weary, got a little sleep. By noon all tanks, approximately 20, had been readied.
Our
orders were to set up a front-line and to recapture villages and towns from the
Russians. My platoon of three tanks attacked a suburb that had a train station
with a forecourt. After we destroyed several anti-tank guns the Russians
surrendered.
More
and more of them emerged from the houses. They were gathered into the forecourt
about 200 sat crowded closely together. Then something unexpected
happened.
Several German women ran towards the Russians and stabbed at them
with cutlery forks and knives. It was our responsibility to protect prisoners,
and we could not permit this. But it was not until I fired a submachine gun into
the air that the women drew back, and cursed us for presuming to protect these
animals. They urged us to go into the houses and take a look at what (the
Russians) had done there.
We did
so, a few of us at a time, and we were totally devastated. We had never seen
anything like it utterly, unbelievably monstrous! Naked, dead women lay in many
of the rooms. Swastikas had been cut into their abdomens, in some the intestines
bulged out, breasts were cut up, faces beaten to a pulp and swollen
puffy.
Others
had been tied to the furniture by their hands and feet, and massacred. A
broomstick protruded from the vagina of one, a besom from that of another, etc.
To me, a young man of 24 years at that time, it was a devastating sight, simply
incomprehensible!
Then the women told their story:
The
mothers had had to witness how their teen and twelve-year-old daughters were
raped by some 20 men; the daughters in turn saw their mothers being raped, even
their grandmothers.
Women
who tried to resist were brutally tortured to death. There was no mercy. Many
women were not local; they had come there from other towns, fleeing from the
Russians.
They also told us of the fate of the girls from the RAD whose barracks had been captured by the Russians. When the butchery of the girls began, a few of them had been able to crawl underneath the barracks and hide. At night they escaped, and told us what they knew. There were three of them.
The
women and girls saw parts of what Mrs. Leonora Geier described. The women we
liberated were in a state almost impossible to describe. They were overfatigued
and their faces had a confused, vacant look. Some were beyond speaking, ran up
and down and moaned the same sentences over and over again.
Having
seen the consequences of these bestial atrocities, we were terribly agitated and
determined to fight. We knew the war was past winning; but it was our obligation
and sacred duty to fight to the last bullet . . ."
The
bestiality of World War II, caused largely by the Jew named Ilja Ehrenburg*,
Stalin's main propagandist whose private papers and files were donated by him to
Israel before he died, and who whipped the Russian Army into a frenzy of
destruction, was worse than anything a sane mind can imagine - and it is coming
our way unless courageous men and women stop it.
*This
satanic beast is honored (!) in todays Israel as one of their great heroes. If
ANYTHING tells us us what the Jew represents THIS is
it!
