In my early teens we visited London on family trips, living less than a hundred miles from our capital during the 80s.
Once looking in the Virgin Records store somewhere on one of those famous London streets. I spotted swastika patches for sale. Thankfully, after much persuasion, my parents bought one for me. I treasured my swastika patch for years.
Back in East Anglia, towns like King’s Lynn and Ipswich were having British Movement marches which pushed the BM into headlines; I was too young to be able to attend, but I was fascinated by the “far-right / Neo-Nazi” movement.
In those days, giving a right-arm salute was totally legal, and BM members were photographed doing the Hitler salute proudly at BM rallies. Even Punk Rock star Sid Vicious wore a swastika T-shirt. No problem; it did cause a bit of outrage and was seen as an act of rebellious behaviour/fashion.
As a youngster, I had always sensed that Hitler and the National Socialists had something. Their power and excellence spoke volumes; these people were onto something.
I knew there was something not right about what we were taught in schools with regard to National Socialism. There was something that didn’t add up. Hitler turned a bankrupt Germany around in no time during the 1930s, and the German people loved him. Germany couldn’t have become so strong unless the National Socialists had some kind of greatness. Those were the feelings I had about the Third Reich.
Thirty-five years later, and European rulers are much more hostile towards National Socialism. We have bookshops refusing to sell books, arguing that the Holocaust was misinformation. Holocaust denial is criminalised in many European countries. During the last few years, a number of people have been arrested in Britain for giving a right-arm salute.
A Glasgow teenager was arrested in 2019 for giving the right-arm salute, and this May a man got arrested for giving the NS salute at Green Party members in Hastings. These are just some of the good people arrested; I am sure there are more, and unfortunately they won’t be the last.
As the years pass and we lose the generation that sacrificed so much during World War Two, it leaves us with the hate they held for anything National Socialist and even anything German. Today, the new generations can view National Socialism and its images in a new light of intrigue and curiosity.
As time marches forward, the lies about Adolf Hitler become easier to deal with. For example, saying to Generation Z, that it’s rubbish that Hitler ordered woman whom wore the Red Army uniform to be shot because the Germans didn’t believe women should serve in front-line military duties.
Our enemies may fear this kind of talk, and it’s this fear driving them to try and tighten race laws to be used against National Socialism, which is slowly outlawing our cause.
Yet, truth keeps coming out. A book called A Woman in Berlin. It is the diary of a German woman during the early days of the Red Army takeover of Berlin and the mass rapes of German women that followed. There is also some video footage on YouTube of German civilians being killed in Czechoslovakia after the war had ended.
It’s now more openly stated how Hitler’s National Socialist government heavily funded cancer research and launched ambitious public health campaigns. It was NS breakthroughs that laid the groundwork for modern cellular biology and modern understanding of how cancer develops. This information can be found on Google.
I look forward to a time when National Socialist Germany can be taken on face value, when questions can be freely asked, and real studies can be conducted.
