(REAL NAME)
The book "Gruesome Harvest," should
be on the mandatory highschool and college reading list for history and
sociology.
It is one of the few books that are available in English
that address the murder of millions of non-combatant German civilians
and German prisoners of war from 1944 to 1950 as a matter of deliberate
allied policy not inefficient logistics as it is most often presented
in school text books.
It is important because this book was written as
it was still happening and includes comments from eye witnesses in the
same time period. The book is not politically correct and shocked me
because it speaks in a such a predudicial fashion about persons of the
black race.
That however in this point makes it useful to sociologist
and historians because it correctly reflects widely held opinion at the
time within U.S. society.
As to the correct observation that
allied policy was to reduce the German population through, murder in
multiple forms, slave labor, and starvation, and destroy the fabric of
the society through mass rape of the female population, other authors
are critized for saying the same thing but only decades later.
Fact is
there is a great effort to keep this information from the public
because it shows that the victors of WWII incorporated not only
military strategy and tactics but also the NAZI ideology of racial
hatred and a policy of extermination and discrimination for one people.
4 million persons perished because of the ethnic cleansing carried out
by, Russians, Poles, Czechs, and Serbs according to the former German
Prime Minister Konrad Adenauer,
5 million Germans starved to death in
occupied Germany according to estimates by the Canadian James Bacque,
and 2 million German Soldiers died in allied captivity often while
performing slave labor in Auschwitz like conditions.
General Eisenhower
prohibited the German Public from sharing their own meager rations with
detained German soldiers on pain of death. Hence from 1944 until 1948 a
U.S. and Russian Holocaust for the Germans was on going.
For more
information on this topic see books by the following authors: James
Bacque (Other Losses) (Crimes and Mercies), Alfred M. de Zayas (Die
Wehrmacht-Untersuchungstelle) and (The Nemisis of Potsdam), Guido Knopp
(Die Gefangenen), Erich Kern and Karl Balzer (Allierte Verbrechen and
Deutschen). A similarly important historical document is the book
titled (Alliierte Kriegsverbrechen) which translates to "Allied War
Crimes".
It is a collection of historical
information of eyewitness experiences of hundreds of Allied war crimes.
This information was written down in 1946 by German Soldiers held
prisoner in Camp 91 in Darmstadt by U.S. forces.
Lawyers for the
defense hoped to bring some of this information as evidence and perhaps
for mitigation to the Nüremberg Tribunal but the it was not permitted.
In fact the Commander of Camp 91 attempted to collect and destroy all
copies of this book.
That is why it is important that as many people
read the afore mentioned books as possible. They need to be translated
into English and widely read so that the fairy tale of WWII as the last
"Good War" can finally be put to rest.

A Gruesome Harvest: by Ralph Keeling [Chicago: Institute of Economics, 1947]
Amazing lesser-known facts, well researched, September 3, 2004

For those interested in knowing all
of world war 2 history, and not just the rosy view from the perspective
of the victor, this book is a must read. My mother's side of the family
are ethnic German expellees from Yugoslavia and this book aided in
explaining why my family went hungry in the American zone.
All
too often the rhetoric we hear is the sufferings, both real and
alleged, caused by those we defeat in war.
We never hear about the
atrocities that our side commits. This book exposes the atrocities the
Allies committed willfully against civilians, leaving the reader asking
why does our country claim the moral high ground?
This
certainly qualifies to be called a "holocaust" against the German
people, yet in our politically biased atmosphere it is unknown.
For
those of you interested in the human rights of all peoples, not just
those we support in wars, this is a must for you. It will make you
wonder what is wrong with your history books.
