Nazi Shrunken Heads: A 24-minute free video about lies which justify war
The video maker advocates kindness and good vibes toward all Jewish people. And the video maker does not have the intention of reviving Hitler or Nazism. Hitler was a militarist and this video is anti-militarist. Having said that, the maker of this video also believes that the holocaust is a giant myth. A myth that reverberates today into the promotion of war. This video is about how the media and politicians manipulate the gullible American public for pro-war purposes.
This video has considerable overlap with new video "Buchenwald: A Dumb Dumb Portrayal of Evil" which among other things describes Eisenhower's role in the holocaust hoax. The 11 topics below also have overlap with the new Buchenwald video. Suggestion: After watching Nazi Shrunken Heads, then watch "Buchenwald" and afterward, go over the topics below.
This is "version 2" of Nazi Shrunken Heads. Originally released in April 2007, it was re-worked and re-released in August 2008.
Quotes/Extracts
The American Lieutenant in charge of documenting Buchenwald
(where the shrunken heads came from) was from the Psychological Warfare Division
of the Allied Forces. Albert G. Rosenberg was
Jewish, born and raised in Germany. He had recently become an American.
"Psychological Warfare Division."
That's a strange name for a department that's going to document a concentration
camp for future generations isn't it? The Lieutenant in the PWD was Albert G.
Rosenberg. Even though he was only in his late 20's at
the time, he had a rare special pass called a "SHAEF Pass", which gave him the
power to confiscate the posh villa belonging to Baldur Von Schirach, who had
been the wartime mayor of Vienna and also the leader of the Hitler Youth.
Rosenberg lived in the villa with 12-15 former Buchenwald inmates and the team
wrote-up a documentation of the camp. Most of the former inmates were
communists, led by a non-communist Austrian Catholic named
Eugen Kogon. Kogon compiled the report while
Albert Rosenberg supervised the overall project. One could say that the
documentation of Buchenwald is largely a story of liberated communists working
in a posh villa, under the supervision of a Jewish Psychological Warfare
Division Lieutenant who had emigrated to the USA from Germany just seven years
earlier. Objectivity you can count on.
After this project, Albert
Rosenberg confiscated a German suburban house for Eugen Kogon and his family to
live in, so that Kogon could write a book on his personal experiences at
Buchenwald. The Psychological Warfare Division, which by now had made the
Orwellian move to change it's name to "Information Control" wanted this book to
be read by the German population. The book, called "Der SS-Staat, is still the
standard work for Buchenwald. In my June 2007, 2-hour phone conversation with
the elderly Albert G. Rosenberg, he told me that Kogon could have become
Chancellor of Germany instead of Konrad Adenaur, (something about Kogon knowing
a "Cardinal Pacelli" and how that was a good thing.) but one was more right and
the other more center, and Adenauer ended up becoming Chancellor. Months later
out of curiosity I looked up Cardinal Pacelli on Wikipedia and saw he became
Pope Pius XII in 1939.
That would have been interesting
though: Psych Warfare changes it's name to "Information Control" and promotes
Kogon to become the head of Modernist Germany. It would have been 1984 in 1954.
Much of the above is documented in
University of Texas, El Paso Professor David A. Hackett's book, The Buchenwald
Report. Published in 1995.
Nazi Shrunken Heads
Of all the table items above, I believe that David Hackett has the only
remaining object. He has the dissertation, because
Albert G. Rosenberg gave it to him.
In a phone conversation, and before
I told him I was a denier (he won't respond to me now) Professor David A.
Hackett, the translator of "The Buchenwald Report" told me that among all the
papers that Rosenberg gave him around 40 to 50 years after the war, was this
dissertation, written by a German doctor who was studying a perceived connection
between criminality and tattoos. (Common criminals were a significant part of
the inmate population at Buchenwald.) Hackett told me that he'd read the
dissertation and it was of really poor-quality scholarship.
But consider that the dissertation
is a piece of withheld evidence. Ilse Koch's lawyers would have liked to have
known about it. Afterall, it could have helped exonerate Koch from the
incredibly cruel charges that she made lampshades out of human skin. Her lawyers
could have offered an alternate explanation, using the dissertation to bolster
the notion that tattooed skin was at the camp because a student had been
studying the skin. Similarly, the Nuremberg defendants' lawyers would have also
wanted to see it, since they could have used it to offer an explanation as to
why tattooed skin was found at Buchenwald. The Germans' lawyers probably never
knew the dissertation existed.
During various trials, Rosenberg
had this evidence and withheld it.
Does the dissertation mention
anything about tribalism? Hackett won't answer my emails.
The dissertation is the only thing
on the table that is known to be in existence today. Rosenberg gave it to
Hackett in the 1980's or 1990's and Hackett currently possesses it. In my nearly
two-hour phone conversation with Rosenberg, he told me that he "burned half of
the reports" he had lying around from his days in Psych Warfare. Did he also get
rid of things like the "human pelvis ashtray"? One wonders.
Imagine this withheld piece of
evidence, in trials where people were sentenced to death long ago in Germany,
probably sitting in the bottom of some box in some garage in El Paso, Texas; as
kids ride their Razor scooters by on the hot asphalt street out in front.
It would be helpful if Professor
Hackett could use a digital camera, and take photos of the pages of the
dissertation and put them on his website so that others can take a look at this
German language document
Nazi Shrunken Heads
To my knowledge, every item on the Buchenwald table is now missing except the
PhD dissertation, and that's because Albert G. Rosenberg took it home with him.
Karl Koch trial judgment and transcript have disappeared.
The nazis themselves executed Karl Koch in front of the Buchenwald inmates, but
not for anything involving shrunken heads, lampshades, or tattooed skin, but
rather because Koch had a few people killed. In the Nuremberg transcript on
page 199 , on
1/14/46 we see that Dodd's staff has talked to the SS Judge who convicted
Koch, Konrad Morgen. Dodd doesn't mention that his staff talked to Morgen at
Dachau where the Americans had imprisoned him. Dodd then lies about Morgen
seeing skin, heads, and lampshades as a way to "save face" for his own
presentation of the shrunken head. Then
on page 200, a German lawyer, Dr. Kurt Kauffmann tries to get the Karl Koch
trial documents, and the judge states that it's up to Kauffmann to get these
documents himself, but the German lawyers didn't have access to documents in
archives, or to Morgen in the same way that the allied prosecution teams did.
See page 482
in the transcript The German lawyers weren't even able to find out that
Morgen was currently in Dachau, let alone ask him for a copy of the Karl Koch
judgment. Also Konrad Morgen told John Toland in 1971 that the Americans almost
killed him for not saying he'd seen heads and tattooed skin but Morgen still
refused to lie. The source is David Irving's free online book "Nuremberg, The
Last Battle" page 222 and 223 where Irving went into the Roosevelt Library and
read John Toland's 1971 Konrad Morgen interview notes. If the Americans jailed
Morgen and tried to coerce him to lie, and even hid him for a time from the
German defense lawyers (Dodd knew where he was but the German defense lawyers
didn't) then is it conceivable that the American prosecution team would destroy
the Karl Koch Trial judgement which Morgen wrote? As well as the trial
transcripts? Yes. And these documents are nowhere to be found today.
Nazi Shrunken Heads
Among other things, I wanted to ask him about the table. How did the table with the heads and skins come about? He told me his answer: When he arrived at Buchenwald the table was already set up, and it had been set-up by the prisoners. He later mentioned that the prisoners had a self-governing structure, and their leaders were communists. I actually don't believe the prisoners set up the table. I think Psyche Warfare set up the table, but not Rosenberg--He was too low in the Psyche Warfare hierarchy and got to Buchenwald too late. David Hackett's introduction to The Buchenwald Report (pg. 15) states that Rosenberg arrived at Buchenwald on the 16th. That is the day the German tour took place, and the table was filmed with Billy Wilder directing the footage. But as was discovered by another researcher, we do know that Albert G. Rosenberg is the man who is speaking to the Germans on their forced tour of the camp. The researcher discovered a passage written by a Buchenwald inmate and author Jorge Semprun in his book, Literature or Life. Semprun had written this book many years later, and has mistakenly remembered Rosenberg as Rosenfeld. Nazi Shrunken Heads
Professor David A. Hackett has in his possession a 50-page dissertation on the subject of how criminality relates to tattoos. It was written by a German camp doctor on the Buchenwald camp premises, around 1939-'40
