This kike (of course) had been an avowed enemy of Germany for decades. In 1914 he was arrested & tried for his agitation by a military tribunal, which stated in its judgment:

"Simonin is a notorious enemy of the Germanization of Alsace-Lorraine."


The tribunal banned him from returning home - and without compensation, since he was an open enemy.

That is what said that the pickled pinchases were "gas chamber victims."

Post Inside the secret tunnels of the White Cliffs of Dover: Network built to help stop Nazi ships during WWII opens to the public after being hidden for 40 years



The long-forgotten Fan Bay Deep Shelter was carved out of the White Cliffs of Dover in 1940 at behest of Churchill

He ordered their construction to house gun battery teams as they pounded German ships traversing the Channel

Lying 75ft below the Kent coastline, the 3,500 sq ft of interconnecting tunnels once housed up to 185 soldiers

After remaining bricked up for more than 40 years, they will today open to the public for hard hat and torch-lit tours

An incredible labyrinth of forgotten Second World War tunnels built beneath the White Cliffs of Dover will reopen to the public today for the first time in 40 years.

The Fan Bay Deep Shelter was carved out of chalk in just 100 days in the 1940s as part of Dover’s connected gun battery armaments aimed at foiling Nazi shipping movements in the Channel.

After remaining bricked up for more than 40 years, it will open to the public today following an 18-month project and 3,000 man hours of restoration work.

Scroll down for video

Lying 75ft below the Kent coastline, the 3,500 sq ft of interconnecting tunnels, which are reinforced with iron girders and metal sheeting, accommodated four officers and up to 185 men during the war.

The shelter - which was personally inspected by Winston Churchill in 1941 - was decommissioned in the 1950s before being filled in with rubble and soil and abandoned during the 1970s.

Officials at the National Trust say the tunnels are a 'time capsule', giving fascinating insights into war-time life, with graffiti-covered walls, discarded ammunition and even a pools coupon found in the depths.

Following their rediscovery, 100 tonnes of rubble and soil were removed by hand in a project involving more than 50 National Trust volunteers, archaeologists, mine consultants, engineers and a geologist.

Jon Barker, visitor experience manager at the White Cliffs, said: 'This rediscovered piece of the country’s Second World War heritage is a truly remarkable find.

'There has been no public access to the tunnels for over 40 years and so they remain much as they were when they were abandoned. We’ve carried out extensive conservation work to preserve both the natural decay and authentic atmosphere of the space.'

The shelter was carved out of the chalk by Royal Engineers from the 172nd Tunnelling Company and had a hospital, secure store and five large chambers providing bomb-proof accommodation.

And behind the heavy security doors and the 125 steps descending to the tunnels lie poignant reminders of the tunnel’s war-time history.

Etched into the chalk inside the tunnels is a large amount of graffiti, including names of military personnel, coarse inscriptions and an intricate 3D face of a young man, possibly a portrait.

Some of the inscriptions are accompanied by the regiment of soldiers, most notably from the Royal Engineers - 1941 is the most popular date which features alongside the signatures.

Written in chalk on a steel shuttering alongside where a bunk bed once stood is the phr

Default Did Hitler have an atomic weapon? German documentary claims Nazis were developing a 'flying saucer' to deliver bomb and had already started tests on Russian POWs



The Nazis may have been close to creating an atomic bomb and a 'flying saucer' to deliver it in the final days of the war.

Tests of the device were even said to have been carried out on Russian prisoners of war, according to a new German TV documentary.

'The Search for Hitler's Atom Bomb,' which aired on the ZDF channel this week, quotes sealed records from Russia and America that are said to prove the Third Reich were close to creating a weapon of mass destruction.

The programme quotes interrogation reports of Nazi scientists, eyewitness account and the records left behind by researchers, many of which were shipped to America after the war.

Historian Matthia Uhl said the race to develop a Nazi A-bomb went into overdrive in the final year of the war.

The programme focused on Hans Kammler, an S.S. general, who was given 175,000 concentration camp inmates to work in the V-weapons factories, tank production lines and building secret bunkers for the Nazi elite.

Kammler was one of a very few who answered only to Hitler and was put in charge of the race for nuclear fission.

One of the projects he worked on was at Jonas Valley in Thuringia, eastern Germany, and said to be the site of the Nazis' nuclear and space programmes.

Now officially sealed off, authorities play a cat-and-mouse game with conspiracy theorists every weekend at the site who believe the Americans found two things in the tunnels - a nuclear bomb and flying saucers meant to deliver it.

ZDF quoted from reports by Russian military intelligence agents who said there were two nuclear tests in Thuringia.

The available bomb has a diameter of 1.5 meters. It consists of interlocking hollow balls.'

Another Russian report said: 'Communicated by our reliable source from Germany: the Germans have conducted two explosions in Thuringia with great force.'

Declassified American intelligence reports showed that America's supreme commander in Europe, Dwight Eisenhower, ordered reconnaissance flights over the valley but they proved inconclusive.

But the programme was unable to find where the weaponised uranium the Nazi scientists would have needed for the bomb came from.

Post Nazi hunters say chandelier at Nicola Sturgeon's official residence 'may have been looted by Hitler's henchmen in Second World War'



The 'Nazi' chandelier hangs in Nicola Sturgeon's Edinburgh drawing room

Smuggled to Bute House in 1945 from Germany hidden in munitions boxes

But Nazi treasure hunters are demanding an investigation into its origins

Since 1999, Bute House has been official home of Scotland's First Minister

A ‘spectacular’ chandelier that hangs in Nicola Stugeon’s official residence is alleged to have been looted by Nazi treasure hunters during the Second World War.

Scottish ministers have launched a probe into the chandelier, over claims it was stolen from its rightful owners by Nazis before being smuggled into Britain in 1945.

The extravagant fitting lights the Drawing Room of Bute House, in Edinburgh, which has been the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland since 1999.

A report published by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an organisation dedicated to Jewish human rights, has called for ‘further research’ to establish the origins of the mysterious chandelier.

Officially, the chandelier was found ‘abandoned’ in a German street by an English member of the task force recruited to track down an estimated £3billion worth of treasures stolen by the Nazis.

The English art dealer, Felix Harbord, packed the chandelier in empty munitions boxes and had it shipped to one of his best clients, at Bute House.

The Edinburgh residence was then home to Augusta Crichton-Stuart, the Marchioness of Bute, who gratefully received the surprise delivery, which is known as ‘one of the three spectacular Bute family pieces’.

A Bute House guidebook from 2002 explains the official origins: ‘Harbord came upon this chandelier abandoned in one of the streets of Cleves and had it packed in empty munitions boxes, which he sent to No.6 Charlotte Square [Bute House].’

The guide book continues: ‘She [Lady Bute] always ensured, however, that the Drawing Room curtains were left open at night, so that passers-by could share her enjoyment in the chandelier’s unexpected arrival.’

The Simon Wiesenthal Center’s report, written by Irish academic Erin Gibbons, reads: ‘During and after the British invasion of Germany, extensive looting took place by members of the British armed forces at a time when Harbord was serving there as an officer.’

It continues: ‘A number of matters arise from the chandelier affair.

‘In this instance, Harbord had established a means of removing, from Germany, an unprovenanced artwork by placing it in an empty munitions box and addressing it to a client in Scotland.'

It added: ‘Researchers will undoubtedly be interested to establish whether the chandelier is the only object that Harbord removed from Germany in this way, or whether there were others.’

Harbord is connected in the report to a controversial Irish art dealer, who has been accused of having strong connections to the Nazi-looted art trade.

Glasgow City Council last week agreed to pay compensation to the heirs of German-Jewish art collector Ann Budge, after a tapestry in the Burrell Collection wa

Post Adolf Hitler's hit-list including Winston Churchill, Baden-Powell, Noel Coward and the inspiration for James Bond

By Corey Charlton for MailOnline

Published: 07:18 EST, 11 September 2015 | Updated: 07:31 EST, 11 September 2015

A chilling hit-list of the Brits Adolf Hitler wanted killed should Germany have overrun Britain has been revealed - with Winston Churchill, HG Wells and Noel Coward all earmarked as 'enemies of the state'.

Historians have painstakingly researched all 2,820 ‘enemies of the state, traitors and undesirables’ who were ‘marked for punishment or death’ that featured in the Nazi leader's so-called Black Book.

The result is a comprehensive digitised database that reveals who the wanted citizens were, why they were a threat to the Nazis and what was to become of them.

The list is made up of hundreds of prominent politicians, authors, poets, journalists, actors, scientists, musicians, heads of industry and religious leaders.

As well as obvious names like Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Deputy PM Clement Atlee, others included the British spy thought to have been the real-life inspiration for James Bond, the English equivalent to Oskar Schindler and Scouting founder Baden Powell.

Famed actor Noel Coward was a target as was War of the Worlds author HG Wells and the writer and feminist Virginia Woolf.

Hitler instructed the Sonderfahndungsliste G.B - Special Search List G.B - to be drawn up ahead of Operation Sea Lion - the Nazi plan to invade the UK had the Luftwaffe won the Battle of Britain 75 years ago.

After the German army had swept across the land, the notorious SS and Gestapo would then have rounded up every person on the list, arrested them and, in many cases, executed them.

Although 20,000 copies of the list were made during the war, only two are said to exist today.

To mark the 75th anniversary of Battle of Britain Day on September 15, the military genealogy website Forces War Records has interpreted the list into English for the first time.

The result is an extensive database of information that people can log on to and easily search through. It could prove a valuable tool for students of modern European history.

The work on the list also brings to life the grim and unspeakable fate that was to befall the country had the Battle of Britain been lost.

Tim Hayhoe, the managing director of Forces War Records, said: 'It is the first ever full English translation of the Nazi Most Wanted list, which has been extrapolated from a very dry list.

'The people on this list would have been the first to be rounded up and risk being killed, sent to concentration camps or forced to throw in their lot with the Germans.

'It goes into who the people were, what department wanted them, who was in charge of that department and what happened to them.

'It makes sense of complicated Government jargon. Previously obscure abbreviations have been explained, biographical details have been added and background information has been given on each and every Nazi department.

'People who browse through the list in its present form

Post House of Lords were dismissed by Stalin's man in London as 'historically blind, like moles, and ready to lick the Nazi leaders' boots like a beaten dog', newly-published diaries of

By Stephanie Linning for MailOnline

Published: 06:53 EST, 11 September 2015 | Updated: 06:53 EST, 11 September 2015

Russia's ambassador to London mocked British politicians as being 'blind, like moles' to the threat posed by Hitler in the run-up to the Second World War, newly-published diaries reveal.

The criticism is one of a number of extraordinarily candid remarks made in the diaries of Soviet diplomat Ivan Maisky, who served in London between 1932 and 1943.

During his posting, he enjoyed close relationships with influential figures including Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden.

In the entry, written after he attended a debate in the House of Lords, the committed Communist goes on to say that Britain is 'ready to lick the Nazi leaders' boots like a beaten dog'.

While Stalin's Great Purge of the 1930s left many Communist leaders too afraid to keep any written records, Maisky was determined to document his posting to Britain in a personal diary.

In entries filled with rich detail, he tracked key historical moments including the build-up to war in the 1930s, the German invasion of Russia, and the intense debate over the second front.

He also reflected on conversations he had with politicians, including Sir Winston Churchill and Eden, as well as newspaper editors, artists and intellectuals.

Now, a selection of entries from Maisky's diary, edited by Gabreil Gorodetsky, a Russian Quondam Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, has been published in English for the first time.

As Mr Gorodetsky wrote on i09.com: 'The unique diary reveals in a lively, candid and accessible way how then, just as now, mutual suspicion, preconceived ideas and the legacy of the past blinded both British and Russian politicians and brought the world to the brink of catastrophe.'

Among the diaries' most revealing insights comes from Maisky's account of a debate in the House of Lords in March 1938.

According to the Spectator he wrote: 'They looked like flies in milk. The Archbishop of Canterbury… gave his full and unconditional backing to Chamberlain.

'Other lords claimed that Hitler was a wonderful man, who by occupying Austria saved the world from another civil war in Europe… The mould of ages lies visibly on the House of Lords.

'Even the air is stale and yellow. The peers are historically blind, like moles, and ready to lick the Nazi leaders’ boots like a beaten dog. They’ll pay for this, and I’ll see it happen.'

He also discusses how he worked with the opposition of Sir Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden to lead Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain towards an alliance with the Soviet Union.

But it appears Maisky's reading of the political landscape were not always accurate.

In May 1938 he wrote: 'I have no doubt that Germany will be less aggressive. Her empty stomach will be filled. She will grow heavy and calm down.'

Post Ghostly sound of an air raid siren wakes people in hundreds of homes in a city heavily bombed by the Nazis 75 years ago

By Gemma Mullin for MailOnline

Published: 10:31 EST, 23 September 2015 | Updated: 10:44 EST, 23 September 2015

A ghostly sound of an air raid siren has been waking people in hundreds of homes in a city that was heavily bombed by the Nazis 75 years ago.

Noise abatement officials launched an investigation into the mysterious noise which has been heard more frequently across Swansea, South Wales, in recent months, but admit it cannot be traced.

Reports of the wailing sound have stretched back for more than a year, with many residents in area of Townhill comparing it to a 'war or old factory siren'.

One mother, Debbie Leyshon, 46, said: 'Everyone around here has heard it around dawn and into the early morning. It sounds just like a siren you hear in the war films.

'It always sounds like it is away in the distance but loud enough to wake you up if you are a light sleeper.'

The city was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe for three straight days in the 1941 Swansea Blitz as the German's tried to cripple Britain's coal exports.

A total of 230 people were killed and more than 400 were injured, with the huge fires caused by bombed oil refineries visible 75 miles away.

People have taken to social media to share their own experiences of the strange noises.

Stella Elphick said: 'Been going on for at least the last two summers and through the winter. Day and night.'

Pete Rose added: 'It drives my mother insane and I often hear it when visiting her,' while Damian Holt said: 'Every morning around 4.30/5am till 6am or 7am most mornings.'

Debbie St Peter claims the noise has become so 'annoying' that she can't sleep.

And Sian Richards said: 'That noise has been tormenting me since the beginning of year.'

There are a variety of theories as to what it is and where it is coming from, such as old factories or an end of shift siren from the council depot.

Some have said it is coming from a pub while others say it is coming from the Cwmdu Industrial Estate. Another suggested it was trains sounding their horn as they pass through a tunnel.

Another theory is that it is a fog siren coming from the lighthouse a The Mumbles, but so far no definite source has been pinpointed.

Swansea Council says it is looking into the sounds and is appealing for anyone who may have heard it and have information to come forward.

A spokesman for the authority said yesterday: 'Investigations into a possible source are on-going, but we'd still ask members of the public to contact our noise pollution team if they have any information that could be helpful.'

Death by chocolate: Revealed, the fiendish German WWII booby-traps - including a Thermos flask bomb, a deadly bangers and mash and even an exploding chocolate bar meant for Winston Churchill

Dastardly Nazi plans to hide bombs in chocolate bars, mess tins and even bangers and mash have today been revealed in a series of secret wartime sketches unearthed after 70 years.
Explosives were also hidden in Thermos flasks, cans of motor oil and even lumps of coal as the German war machine plotted murder on the streets of Britain.
The chocolate bar, which would have exploded when a chunk was broken off, was designed specifically for Winston Churchill in the hope his sweet tooth would lead to his death.

Even some of this newspaper's readers seem to be tiring of it now

Quote:
So these things are dastardly when the Germans made them but ingenious when the British made them? I know this will come as a sad shock to some but WW2 is over, we can drop the propaganda now and be fair in our judgements.

Post The woman who found Hitler's tanks on the Polish border and discovered WWII was about to begin: Fascinating life of pistol-packing journalist dubbed "Scarlet Pimpernel" for helping

By Flora Drury For Mailonline

Published: 01:39 EST, 9 October 2015 | Updated: 02:00 EST, 9 October 2015

Everyone wants to make a good impression on their first week on the job, and 27-year-old Clare Hollingworth did just that.

But her good impression was a little more impressive than most: the young reporter was not only the first to discover the Nazis' tanks amassing on the Polish border on August 29, 1939. She was also the reporter who phoned in the start of the war.

They were the scoops of the century, and the start of an illustrious career which saw her chased across deserts by the Nazis, mixing with Soviet spies and facing up to Algerian hostage takers.

Tonight, the woman who many of today's great journalists cite as their inspiration, will mark the eve of her 104th birthday in Hong Kong with a glass of champagne at the Foreign Correspondent's Club, where she has been an almost daily visitor for more than three decades, surrounded by family and friends.

No doubt talk will turn to the stories which are each alone worthy of their own Hollywood blockbuster: a female Indiana Jones who was armed with a pearl-handled revolver for much of the war, and would happily go anywhere with just her 'toothbrush and typewriter'.

Tales of her courage and derring-do abound: Hollingworth herself admits she would far rather be in a plane dropping bombs than watching a football match.

'But don't let anyone imagine I am brave,' she joked once. 'I am terrified of being stuck in lifts.'

The most famous of all the tales shared will, of course, be how Hollingworth - who had been hired by the then-editor of the Telegraph a week earlier, after a chance meeting in London - broke the story of the start of the Second World War.

It may have been a chance gust of wind blowing back a piece of hessian lining the border road which revealed to the new reporter the extent of the massing army, but it was no accident that Hollingworth found herself on that road.

She had arrived in Poland, and was staying in Katowice with the British consul-general, who, importantly, had a diplomatic vehicle.

Scroll down for video

The Germans had closed the road across the border to all vehicles apart from those carrying the flag - and Hollingworth knew this.

So she immediately asked to borrow the car, to go on a fact-finding mission into Germany, and, as it happened, pick up a few essentials like asprin and white wine, then unavailable in Poland.

The 'great gust of wind' which kicked off her career happened as she drove back along the road to Poland.

Hollingworth looked down into the valley and saw for the first time 'scores, if not hundreds of tanks' below her.

These tanks were the forces of von Rundstedt's Army Group South, supported by Reichenau's 10th Army.

'1,000 tanks massed on Polish border, Ten divisions reported ready for swift stroke,' shouted the headline after she called it into her boss, who was based in Warsaw.

Three days later, she awoke to th

Post 100ft below Clapham Common: Triple-tier bunk beds and a 1,300ft complex of tunnels built by hand to shelter 8,000 people from Nazi bombs during WWII

Complex of 1,300 tunnels 100ft beneath Clapham Common, London, built as mass shelter during the Blitz
First used by the public in 1944 and could house up to 8,000 people, providing kitchens and medical facilities
Work began in 1940 at the start of bombing and it took eight months to build, at the cost of 11 workers' lives
It is now open to the public as an exhibition run by Transport for London and the London Transport Museum



It was hand-built to protect thousands of people from terrifying bombing raids by Nazi Germany during the Blitz in the Second World War.

But the existence of the underground shelter beneath Clapham Common remains a complete secret to the vast majority of Londoners, even those who walk above it every day.

The shelter 'village' lies 100ft below ground and is made up of 1,300 tunnels and is big enough to cater up to 8,000 people, and have now become a special exhibition open to the public.

Post How hidden cables uncovered beneath the floorboards of English estate reveal secret 'country club' life of Hitler's 'Uranium Club' detained after WWII

By Stephanie Linning for MailOnline

Published: 02:53 EST, 11 April 2016 | Updated: 03:01 EST, 11 April 2016
Hidden microphones uncovered beneath the floorboards of an English country house have shed light on the lives of Nazi nuclear scientists interned there after the Second World War.



Cambridge professor Marcial Echenique came across the cables when he started renovating Farm Hall in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, shortly after buying the property in the late 1970s.

He later found out that the estate had been used to house Nazi scientists detained after the war - and that British security services had bugged each room in the hope of hearing their secrets.

Uranium Club': From left to right, German scientists Werner Heisenberg, Max von Laue and Otto Hahn

The discovery led Professor Echenique to contact the surviving members of the group, known as Hitler's 'Uranium Club', who told him of the 'country club' life they enjoyed at Farm Hall.

Details of the scientists' capture and their incarceration in England, are revealed in a new book titled Operation Big: The Race To Stop Hitler's A-Bomb, by Colin Brown, as highlighted in The Times.

In January 1939, nine months before the outbreak of the War, German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann published the results of an historic experiment about nuclear fission.

The German 'uranium project' began in earnest shortly after Germany's invasion of Poland in September.

Army physicist Kurt Diebner led a team tasked to investigate the military applications of fission.

By the end of the year the physicist Werner Heisenberg had calculated that nuclear fission chain reactions might be possible.


Although the war hampered their work, by the fall of the Third Reich in 1945 Nazi scientists had achieved a significant enrichment in samples of uranium - enough to alarm Allied forces.

A team was put together and tasked with capturing ten German scientists - among them Hahn, Diebner, Heisenberg - in a campaign code named Operation Epsilon.

They were interned at Farm Hall between July 1945 and January 1946, with their every word monitored on microphones that would be uncovered by Professor Echenique three decades later.

However despite the best efforts by British security chiefs, the Germans never revealed any nuclear secrets, according to Brown.

Professor Echenique, who lives at Farm Hall with his wife, later set about contacting four of the scientists who lived at his house.

They revealed how they spent their six months at the estate playing volleyball in the garden and enjoying 'country club' treatment.

One of the scientists, Erich Bagge, even told the professor how he used to jump over a garden wall to meet women at the local pub.



HITLER'S URANIUM CLUB: NAZI GERMANY'S BRIGHTEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS

Erich Bagge: Developed uranium enrichment device in 1944. He would later tell Professor Echenique how he used to jump over Farm Hall's walls to drink at the local pub.

Kurt Diebner: German nuclear physicist who directed and administered the German nuclear energy project. He was said to be disliked by many of the 'Uranium Club'.

Walther Gerlach: German physicist and university lecturer noted especially for his work with Otto Stern on the deflections of atoms in a magnetic field.

Otto Hahn: German chemist whose his pioneering work lead to him to being hailed as 'the father of nuclear chemistry'. He was awarded the Nobel Prize while at Farm Hall in November 1945.
Kurt Diebner: The nuclear physicist was one of the ten scientists detained at Farm Hall.

Paul Harteck: Physical chemist, who co-discovered tritium, the heaviest form of hydrogen, in 1934. After leaving Berlin, he worked at Cambridge before moving to the US.

Werner Heisenberg: Theoretical physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 'for the creation of quantum mechanics', the application of which led to the discovery of different forms of hydrogen.

Horst Korsching: Physicist who worked on isotope separation under Kurt Diebner and Werner Heisenberg.

Max von Laue: Physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1914 for his discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals. Opposition to Socialism distanced him from the other scientists.

Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker: Physicist and philosopher, protege of Werner Heisenberg. After the war he dedicated his energies to philosophy and pacifism.

Karl Wirtz: Physicist who joined the atomic research team led by Werner Heisenberg in 1940. Later became chairman of the scientific council of the Karlsruhe Center for Nuclear Research.
