Shocking 1944 British Government Letter

ca69996d3b271f1922d70bece806d9e6

THIS IS a February 29, 1944 letter to the BBC and higher members of the British clergy, from the British Ministry of Information.

It says, in essence, and in no uncertain terms, the following:

We all know the crimes committed by the Bolsheviks over the last 24 years in Russia and Eastern Europe. It is inevitable they will do the same in Central Europe. We will cover up their crimes by lying about the Germans. The public is not as stupid as it was, our lies will be better. You (the BBC and the Church) must spread these lies, convincingly.

Here is the letter itself:

Sir,

I am directed by the Ministry to send you the following circular letter:

It is often the duty of the good citizens and of the pious Christians to turn a blind eye on the peculiarities of those associated with us.

But the time comes when such peculiarities, while still denied in public, must be taken into account when action by us is called for.

We know the methods of rule employed by the Bolshevik dictator in Russia itself from, for example, the writing and speeches of the Prime Minister himself during the last twenty years. We know how the Red Army behaved in Poland in 1920 and in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Galicia and Bessarabia only recently.

We must, therefore, take into account how the Red Army will certainly behave when it overruns Central Europe. Unless precautions are taken, the obviously inevitable horrors which will result will throw an undue strain on public opinion in this country.

We cannot reform the Bolsheviks but we can do our best to save them — and ourselves — from the consequences of their acts. The disclosures of the past quarter of a century will render mere denials unconvincing. The only alternative to denial is to distract public attention from the whole subject.

Experience has shown that the best distraction is atrocity propaganda directed against the enemy. Unfortunately the public is no longer so susceptible as in the days of the “Corpse Factory,” and the “Mutilated Belgian Babies,” and the “Crucified Canadians.”

Your cooperation is therefore earnestly sought to distract public attention from the doings of the Red Army by your wholehearted support of various charges against the Germans and Japanese which have been and will be put into circulation by the Ministry.

Your expression of belief in such may convince others.

I am, Sir, Your obedient servant,

(signed) H. HEWET, ASSISTANT SECRETARY

The Ministry can enter into no correspondence of any kind with regard to this communication which should only be disclosed to responsible persons.

This letter is reproduced in a 1958 book entitled Allied Wartime Diplomacy: A Pattern in Poland by Edward J. Rozek, the image above is captured from the first edition (pages 209-210).

How sad is that? Hope their souls are rotting in the bowels of hell!!!!! On their grave stones, it should read,”Here lies a liar and a traitor!”. For every time I see a young female with a sub-human, I can only hope that it may be their grand daughter. Hope they see that from the other side! Good job losers!

It’s interesting that both George Bernard Shaw and George Orwell are supposed to have been “Holocaust deniers.” They would have only needed to remember the anti-German atrocity propaganda put out during the First World War to regard the anti-German atrocity propaganda put out during the Second World War with extreme and justified skepticism.
