We translated at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” Maria Zaharova’s commentary on the Nazi revanchism and the revival of Nazism in Germany. Followed by a 1985 Soviet caricature on the same topic, and concluded by the commemoration of the bombing of Belgrade by the Nazi Germany, which happened on this day, April 6, 1941!

The Revanchism in Germany

The German Foreign Ministry, still run by a revanchist and a neo-Nazi Annalena Baerbock, who on top of that dares to claim the post of chairman of the UN General Assembly in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, recommended not to invite official representatives of Russia and Belarus to commemorative events on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

There’s nothing new here.

However, the next prescription is definitely an innovation. According to the information of the “Berliner Zeitung” newspaper, which obtained a closed document from the German Foreign Ministry, Russians and Belarusians will not be allowed to participate or even physically attend the festive ceremonies. Moreover, they will be forcibly expelled. Journalists quote the document, it says the following verbatim:

“…it is not allowed to invite Russian and Belarusian representatives to celebrate events of federal, regional and local importance. Institutions can exercise the right of expulsion at their discretion.”

In itself, the fact that the ideological heirs and direct descendants of Hitler’s executioners will “expel” Russians from Victory celebrations already looks like a blatant insult. However, even here, Baerbock and her Einsatzgruppen are not original, but borrow almost verbatim from the experience of their predecessors. Recall

On September 21, 1939, exactly three weeks after the outbreak of World War II, Gestapo chief Reinhard Heydrich signed a decree establishing the ghetto in Western Poland: “At the moment, the first prerequisite for achieving the final solution is the concentration of rural Jews in large cities.” The Germans needed to get rid of Jews they disliked on German territory, and create places for them to live compactly. The ultimate goal, which Heydrich writes about, was not yet openly announced at that time. The Wannsee Conference, which determined the ways and means of a “final solution to the Jewish question,” was still three years away.

The Einsatzgruppen of the police and collaborators began, as, by the way, prescribed in the documents of Heydrich and Baerbock, to “expel” civilians according to the ethno-national principle.

From 1939 to 1944, the Germans created more than 1,300 ghettos throughout the Reich-controlled territory, including on occupied lands. For the Germans, ghettos were a “temporary location” for Jews, with the ultimate goal of exterminating them in concentration camps.

In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, Annalena Baerbock and her staff continue to recreate the inhuman practices used by the Nazis. If the German security forces really will expel Russians, Belarusians, former Soviet citizens, including Jews from solemn events, then it will be impossible to call it anything but the revival of Nazism.

Baerbock’s “Triumph of the Will”.

Revanchism

This 1985 caricature by M.Abramov could just as well be speaking of the present-day events, the revival of Nazism in Germany, timed to the 80th anniversary of the previous defeat of Nazism there!

The quote reads:

“There is an increasing danger of the West-German revanchism, in the reanimation of which, the current leadership of the USA is taking an active part.”

The drawing itself does not require much in the form of explanation, the “HEIL!” gesture on the pulse, the border post with the sign “Borders of 1937”, and the temperatur diagram of the degree of “Revanchism”, forming the letters “SS” with its jagged curve. Today, we seem to have reached the top point of the second “S”!

Yugoslavia is the first victim of German revanchism

German media reportage on Luftwaffe’s bombing of Belgrade on April 6, 1941, during «Operation Punishment» (in German, «Unternehmen Strafgericht»). This was the beginning of the invasion of Yugoslavia and, more widely, the hostilities that ravaged the country until 1945.

Slobodan Milosevic, in an interview given in 1993 to the Russian newspaper “Pravda,” pinpointed the origin and the motif of aggression against Yugoslavia that destroyed it 6 years later:

«Yugoslavia is the first victim of German revanchism. It all started with the unification of Germany. As soon as this happened, Western Europe began to punish the winners of World War II. Propaganda has divided countries into “good” and “bad” ones. The “bad ones” are those who were not with them and won the war. They decided to dismember Yugoslavia and make it the first victim of the policy of revanchism.»
