<<< via P_news >>> MISSILES DEVELOPED BY NAZI WAR CRIMINALS by Hank Roth* The U.S. sought to destroy communism since the Revolution in 1917. Before the Second World War was over, the State Department was employing the Nazi apparatus for its secret war against the Soviets. A "60 Minutes" television expose in May of 82 disclosed how the U.S. aided Nazis to escape prosecution for their war crimes, but it didn't devulge the devious purpose, which was to employ these Nazis in U.S. anti-Communist activities after the war. John Loftus, who was the federal prosecutor in the Office of Special Investigations of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice wrote a book, THE BALARUS SECRET (1982), wherein he states eloquently: "In a way, we Americans are the last victims of the Holocaust, imprisoned by the secrets of the Cold War, locked in the fortress of lies. In a democratic society, there is only one hard way to liberation" Wahrheit macht frei-- i.e., truth produces freedom." The truth is that Washington used fascists again the Soviets as it has done clandestinely since the Bolshevik Revolution and since the unsuccessful U.S. invasion of Russia during the Civil War that followed. The office of Policy Coordination was an agency headed by a lawyer, Frank Wisner, who was skilled in guerrilla activity in the OSS (the predecessor to the CIA). Wisner operated under National Security Directive 10/2 to recruit Nazis of the Third Reich. He busied himself preparing dossiers of "Nazi collaborators and members of the Iron Guard, a fascist organization noted for its hatred of Jews" and "recruited "leaders of four Nazi ministries who had directed the activities of collaborators in Eastern Europe during the War," including Gustav Hilger who functioned as the Fuerhrer's personal "Russian expert." (IBID) At the same time hundreds of illegal Nazi criminals were clandestinely transported to Latin America for other insurgency duties. Secretary of State Dulles in 1953 called this a "crusade for Freedom" and ordered Wisner to continue his "guerrilla warfare against the Soviet Union." (IBID) In 1954 a presidential committee (the Doolittle Committee) secretly applauded Wisner's work and encouraged the intensification of "espionage" together with every means "to subvert, sabotage and destroy" the Soviets (IBID) In 1955 National Security Directive 54/12/1 was issued authorizing Wisner to "develop underground resistance and facilitate covert and guerrilla operations", especially in areas dominated by communism. (IBID) Several uprisings followed in Poland in 1956 and a counter- revolutionary effort in Hungary that same year. Wisner became a manic-depressive and died in 1965. Many of his agents helped establish the elite U.S. Army Green Berets. Of those Nazis who were recruited to work for the U.S. Operation Paperclip brought 118 German scientists here to work on missile research, including Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, both of whom had directed research on V-2 rockets in Germany. In operation Crossbow and Overcast, another 494 Nazi scientists and engineers were brought into the U.S. to work in weapons development and research. Arthur Rudolph, who joined the Nazi Party in 1931, before Hitler even came to power was Director of the Mittelwerk subterranian rocket factory, also called "Danete's Inferno," with good reason, and was there from 1943 to 1945 where 52,000 prisoners turned out 6,000 V-2 rockets. Rudolph's prisoners were used as slave labor, forced to work 72 hours a week and fed only 1,100 calories a day. They were beaten when they fell behind schedule. Twenty ot thirty thousand died from lung and heart disease because of poor ventilation. Prisoners worked in knee deep water in the tunnels. In the summer temperatures were well over 100 degrees and freezing cold in the winter. Those too sick to work were sent to their death in the creamatoriums at Auschwitz or hung from beams on underground cranes. Rudolph was responsible for these mass executions. From 1951 to 1961 Arthur Rudolph was employed by MARTIN MARIETTA, in charge of research and development of the Pershing missile. In 1954 he became a U.S. citizen. He also headed the Saturn project for NASA and received the highest civilian honor, the Distinguished Service Award. In 1984 he renounced his U.S. citizenship and returned to Germany. Of the estimated 10,000 Nazis that found a haven in the U.S. only a handful have left. The Pentagon prevented the Immigration Department from conducting investigations of THEIR Nazis. How is it that so many with blood on their hands from murdering Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the handicapped, political dissidents and communists were welcome while so many of those they persecuted were virtually excluded. Because the Nazis were also fervent anticommunists and because communism was a threat to the capitalist social order. Meanwhile many of these mass murders continue to live in comfort using false indentities provided by the U.S. government and forever shielded from prosecution. Still others have continued their immoral activities in Latin American countries, and Europe under CIA direction. //---oooOOOooo---// *Hank Roth formerly worked in the War Room at the Pentagon for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has worked in the White House as a Voice Security Communications Expert, and has been on special assignment for the State Department to the Middle East during the Yom Kippur War. --------------------------------------------------------------- P_news is a national echo conference for Left Wing progressive news and views on FidoNet.
