#35 To Mary Grabar-Don’t need to-My father is
Slovenian and lived through the war-his father
a non-combatant was taken away and murdered by
the Nazis and their allies-Grave never found.
Don’t whitewash Nazi collaberators-I know many
people got caught caught up in history being
between a rock and a hard place and I’m not
moralizing but that Home Guard was pro-Nazi
and anti-semitic. Again obviously not every
member of such organizations were driven by
such sympathies especially at the lower levels.
The Cossacks turned over to the Soviet Union
is another example of those who hated communism
and unfortunately fought with the Nazis and
then ended up screwed for it. The US and
Britain valued the goodwill of Stalin more
than looking at the circumstances of choice
low level people made especially young ones.
The goodwill of Stalin led to Soviet
involvement in violation of the pact they
made with the Japanese leading to the creation
of North Korea and the problems associated
with it.
One could almost say that at the time Nazism
and Communism were the two hands of Satan.
