Upon occupying the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in June 1940, the Soviet Union, then an ally of England, set about rounding up and taking into slavery hundreds of thousands of citizens from these unfortunate formerly independent nations. Entire villages were dawn raided. Families, children included, […]
The Winston Churchill you were never told about: During a BBC Television’s University Challenge session, the quiz programme’s host, Jeremy Paxman, asked, ‘Which statesman during the 1920s found he was in debt because he liked to buy women’s pink silk pantaloons.’ The normally erudite students were stumped for […]
MICHAEL WALSH AUTHOR AND HISTORIAN. From June 1941 onward the possibility of a German invasion of England had all but vanished. Another press-promoted lie was that Ireland faced a serious threat of invasion by Germany. In fact, Germany’s twice-elected (1933 and 1936) German Chancellor never contemplated invading the […]
