Video: Gen. Eisenhower's German Death Camps After World War II

Gary North - March 24, 2018

I read James Bacque's book, Other Losses, as soon as it came out in 1989. I found it persuasive. Its subtitle tells the story: An Investigation into the Mass Deaths of German Prisoners at the Hands of the French and Americans after World War II.

I was further convinced of its truth when I read the 1991 hatchet job written by an academic historian and lifelong plagiarist, Stephen Ambrose. It did not ring true. But in 1991, it was not known that Ambrose was a plagiarist. He was a popular academic historian to interview in documentaries. He had the gift of gab. This began with the British documentary, The World at War (1973-74). But he was also afflicted with the sin of grab. He stole other men's words and passed them off as his own.

In 1991, his book on Eisenhower was about to be published. He had presented himself to the publisher and then to the public as Eisenhower's personally selected biographer. He said that Eisenhower had approached him to write it. This was a lie. He had approached Eisenhower. He also lied about the amount of time he spent with Eisenhower. The man was a lifetime fraud.

He was clearly threatened by Bacque's book. If this story got out to the general public, it would make his hagiography look like a puff piece for either a mass murderer or a man who was in charge when an appalling number of POWs died. Ambrose had to head this off at the pass. He did not get around to writing his review for well over a year after Bacque's book appeared. In February 1991, he wrote his hatchet job for The New York Times Book Review. You can read it here. I read it as soon as it came out. I was a subscriber. I knew it was deceptive as soon as I read it. In the Wikipedia entry on Other Losses, we read this:

Stephen Ambrose, a historian Eisenhower had enlisted in his efforts to preserve his legacy and counteract criticisms of his presidency, and seven other historians examined the book soon after its publication, and came to the conclusion that it was inaccurate and the product of conspiracy theory. Other historians, including the former senior historian of the United States Army Center of Military History, Colonel Ernest F. Fisher, who was involved in the 1945 investigations into the allegations of misconduct by U.S. troops in Germany and who wrote the book's foreword, argues that the claims are accurate.

I trust Fisher. I do not trust Ambrose.

Bacque has produced a one-hour documentary on this buried story. It is worth watching.

After you view this, listen to two interviews with him.

This is a lot of time to invest. But when you are looking into the darkness that is deliberately hidden by court historians, you must make an investment of time.

I had a man on my payroll thirty years ago. He was a German. He was in one of these camps. An American guard came to him privately and warned him that he had to get out that night. The guard actually helped him escape by cutting the barbed wire. He told me that he would have died if that guard had not done this. Of course, he may have been telling me a tall tale, but I doubt it.
