The secrets of June 22: how Sir Winston Churchill was attached to the fascists ...… Chapter I

After the Second World War finishing, a fortiori decades later, the image of this politician as the uncompromising fighter against fascism, as it is commonly supposed at the present time, was created. But it really was so? Let’s try to puzzle out this situation...

It was in 1927, when at the press conference that was arranged concerning his visiting Florence, Winston Churchill declared “Namely Italy gave us the mode against the Russian poison. If I were Italian, I'd be the fascist!” Since then, throughout some years, Churchill had corresponded with Mussolini. He was not confused that the war unleashed by the Nazis brought to the people of the Great Britain the enormous sacrifices. By the fact of the correspondence of the “ fighter against fascism” with the founder of fascism, we'll be back some later, and at the present time we will state that after such pronouncement of Sir Winston, the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, whose both the contribution into the outbreak of the World War II and every possible indulgences Hitler in his desire to acquire Lebensraum in the East is without any doubt, the one may be called, at least, as ally and collaborator of the dictator, even!


How did the events developed further? Here is how:

January, 1933: Hitler became the chancellor of Germany. The West keeps silent and prospers.
October, 1935: Italy brings troops into Ethiopia. The West keeps silent and prospers
March, 1936: Germany occupies the demilitarized Rhine region. The West keeps silent and prospers
July, 1936: The outbreak of the Civil war in Spain. The West keeps silent and conducts the policy of neutrality, and at that the one blinks the fact that fascist Germany gives the military assistance to the Frankists in the public.
March, 1938: Anschluss. The German troops invade Austria, and on March 13 it is announced that this country is a part of Reich. The West keeps silent and prospers.
July, 1938: The international conference in Evian, devoted to the problem of German and Austrian Jews deportation.
It is worth to look at this conference a little bit more.

Evian, the French resort town near the Lake Geneva, today for millions of the Europeans is associated with the excellent mineral water. Anyone, who tastes this cleanest water in the morning, evening or at noon, does not even know, how the hearts of some their fellow citizens beat over 70 years ago when mentioning the Evian. The last hope to save the doomed 600 000 doomed Jews of both Germany and Austria was related to it.
In July 1938, in Evian, at the suggestion of the U.S.A. President, the international conference to decide the problem of the miserable victims of the Nazis was gathered. The Soviet Union was not invited there. The delegations of 32 states arrived, the journalists from many countries were presented, and including Germany, the representatives of Jewish organizations and charitable groups were invited.

The rumors as to the oncoming conference entered the ‘environment” of the Jewish prisoners in March. What did the doomed people tie their hopes with? First of all, Europe has always considered the U.S as standard of freedom. Secondly, Roosevelt had his reputation of both democrat and a humanist. And the main subject, there were the annual quota holdings of immigrants, stipulated by the law. After Hitler coming to power, the British and the Irish had “frozen” them, i.e., almost they had never used them, so 106 thousand refugees from both Germany and Austria could legitimately find salvation.

But the prisoners did not know about the anti-Semitism growth in the United States. In July, 1938 the magazine “Fortune” has conducted the poll, according to which only 4.9% of respondents supported the idea of the immigration quota increasing. President Roosevelt, preparing for the unprecedented elections for third term, did risk his fragile coalition for moral or humanitarian concerns. Even in 1942, when the United States were at war with Japan and Germany, and the sociologists question who is the main threat to America, the variant the “Jews” won the American citizens are three times more votes of the Americans, than the "Japanese", and four times more than the “Germans”.


The chairman of the U.S. delegation M.K. Taylor firstly made the speech at the conference. In sharp peremptory form, he stated that the U.S. will not make the immigration legislative changes and they will not expect that other countries will do it, because no one country should not bear the financial burden, caused by immigration.

Each and all was stunned. If from all Latin American countries, only the Dominican Republic at the beginning spoke as to the readiness to take 100 thousand Jews, then after consultation with the Americans and this proposal was withdrawn.


The second blow was carried out by the United Kingdom. In the Balfour Declaration of 2.11.1917, the one obliged to “make an effort” to “create in Palestine the national seat ground for the Jewish people”. But in Palestine, the Suez Canal was located- the path to India and other Asian colonies. The British very easily manipulated by the Arabs and Jews were not needed in Palestine. Because the first thing that London made it was the division of the mandated territory: 77% of the land the Arabs received and there Transjordan was created, ruled by the British puppet - Sheikh of the Hashemite dynasty. In 1948 he declared himself king and the kingdom was renamed Jordan. But even a truncated part of the “Jewish” Palestine was almost closed for the Jews. The head of the British delegation in Evian, Lord Winterton said nothing about this land that would be the legitimate shelter of the Jews, but he complained that the British islands are overpopulated, and as to the colonies and dominions, where the free areas were enough, he did not mention at large.

The President of the Jewish Agency Chaim Weizmann, who was conceived by the League of Nations and the United Kingdom as the representative of the Jewish people, was not allowed to speak, and discuss some questions with the British and the Americans, neither before conference nor after the one.
Most of the countries from the very beginning were not enthusiastic to meet penniless refugees. Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark said that despite their tiny sizes and high population density, they have done so many for the Jews. Similar position France has demonstrated.


Big hopes were placed on the countries of the Latin America. Brazil and Argentina possessed great not settled lands, had sore need in specialist and simple workers, but they are also with the harm to their economy refused to help Jews. In lobbies there were these that admit they didn’t want to accept “human wastes” of Europe.

Thus, Evian conference not only suffered from total fiasco, but also complicated the condition for the German and Austrian Jews. In Berlin from the Evian a telegram was sent, that among other things there was the following: none of the 32 countries do not contest the “right of German government for legislative measures against some of their citizens”.

Today, the question, why the ally’s aviation didn’t blitz Oswiecim is being asked a lot lately. Did the allies know that in Oswiecim serial murders are being done? Yes. They knew about it. Ambassador of polish underground Jan Karski managed to get to Sweden at January 1943 and discovered, that in Oswiecim, the prisoners are being undressed and choked with gases. April 10, 1944, two of the prisoners run away from the camp, these that formed a thirty pages report with maps - structural plan, crematorium towers, four gas rooms, one of the biggest could hold 2 thousands of people. Vrba and Vetzler – the names of the escapees – transferred their report to the right hands. Shortly, on the eve of Hungarian Jews deportation, the copy of it arrived to Budapest, after that to hand of Vatican ambassador in Bratislava. Some more copies left to Switzerland, England and the USA. Western journalists received all of the needed facts. They were confirmed by new evidences: three more prisoners escaped from Birchenough: two Jews and mayor of the Polish city. At the end of June 1944 in England “Manchester Guardian” and American “New York Times” notes about the disasters of Oswiecim. What was the response of government and military authorities? Silence and answer delaying.

Neither access ways, gasolines, nor Oswiecim- Birchenough furnaces were not bombed by the allies. Their bombers were flying over the death camps, but their aims were different. It might be sound blasphemous, but in practice the allies were supporting the work of Oswiecim. How can that be called other than criminal agency?! The concentration camp was released purely accidentally by the soviet forces…

By the way, Sir Winston Churchill had the active foes of Jews redemption in Europe, among both, his subordinates and heads of English dominants: should be named Anthony Eden second person of Great-Britain, and prime-minister of Canada from 1923 to 1948 Mackenzie King, who just adored Hitler and didn’t call him other than “charmer” person.

In the introduction to the book “Holocaust conspiracy”, the senator Claiborne Pell, chairman of committee senate of the USA of foreign affairs, wrote “from my point of view, almost each of the killed Jews could be saved, if the countries-allies would provide emergency shelter in time to these who lived at the countries occupied by the Hitler’s forces. Their unwillingness to do that is called more and more recently as “silence conspiracy”. William Perl proves this thesis, by providing serious researches and deep analysis of facts”.

In such manner, the role of English diplomacy in the organization of forthcoming Holocaust is hard to overestimate, and even impossible… On other events, that precede the Hitler attack on the USSR, we will tell you in the next parts of this research.
