The Truth Dies From The Victors’ Lies


German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck came straight to the point; “People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war, or before an election.” Few people question government spin. During and after war palace historians re-cycle the winning side’s take on things.

On several occasions the outcome of World War Two (1939 – 1945) hung in the balance. It does no harm to occasionally reflect on how things might have looked had things gone the other way. Imagine a world in which awareness of Winston Churchill is as vague as it is for Field Marshall Kitchener or American World War One General ‘Black Jack’ Pershing. Imagine the name Josef Stalin almost unknown except to scholars.

Had the war gone in Germany’s favour our world would have looked much different. London’s Whitehall, which fronts Britain’s most powerful offices of government, would likely be named in honour of Adolf Hitler. Famous public gardens like Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens might well be named after Herman Goering and Reich aviator Hanna Reitsch. Buckingham Palace renamed The Worker’s Reich Art Gallery and the Tate Gallery known by the sign over the door, ‘Public Urinals.’

T E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)

As a consequence of military victory we now endure a world in which an 18-year old German conscript is denigrated by the victor’s pen. The nurse girlfriends of two World War One (1914 – 1918) soldiers are dismissed as prostitutes (Lili Marlene). What chance then for major figures like T E Lawrence?

Awareness of prominent champions of the Reich would be far removed from today’s perception of their being evil incarnate. Adventurer T E Lawrence was better known as Lawrence of Arabia. This gifted writer-revolutionary, before 1939, was revered as a British national hero. The desert hero’s intent to form alliance with Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists might certainly have averted war with Germany. Lawrence’s assassination meant that Churchill and his pro-war clique got the war they were desperate for.

Victor Quisling

Vidkun Quisling

The reputation of ousted Norwegian Prime Minister Vidkun Quisling is an example of how a leading figure’s reputation can be re-written to destroy his standing. Today, the name Quisling is synonymous with cowardice and treachery. The real Vidkun Quisling, as revealed in Heroes Hang When Traitors Triumph by Michael Walsh, is quite the opposite. Such was Quisling’s untiring heroism displayed during the Bolshevik starvation of Eastern Europe’s peasants; this Norwegian friend of polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen was recognised and knighted Sir Vidkun Quisling by Britain.

When the armies of the Reich swept into Eastern Europe the troops were puzzled by the wealth of icons dedicated to Vidkun Quisling found in churches and peasants homes. Throughout Ukraine Vidkun Quisling was held as a saintly figure by millions of peasants who suffered from the Wall Street backed Bolshevik imposed famine. It is claimed that Quisling and his associates saved the lives of millions of Ukrainians. Such is the man that the West today vilifies as a treacherous coward.

William Joyce

William Joyce

New York born William Joyce might easily have become Britain’s post war Prime Minister had unelected Winston Churchill’s government accepted Hitler’s peace terms. Like Quisling, The reputation of the erudite Irish-American has since been dragged through the sewers of the Ministry of Truth’.

Romania’s student movement nationalist Cornelius Codreanu, along with his party leadership, was ritually strangled to death in the darkness of a Romanian forest. Had Britain and the U.S. formed an alliance to hold Europe with the beleaguered German armies in 1945, as Hitler had suggested, Cornelius Codreanu might be better known as President Cornelius Codreanu. Great plazas and shopping malls would in all likelihood be carrying his name.

The West has many dissidents as did the infamous Soviet Union. In 1920 Norwegian writer, poet and philosopher Knut Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Was it undeserved? Not according to iconic writer and war correspondent Ernest Hemingway: “Hamsun taught me to write.”

Knut Hamson

Knut Hamson

The roll-call of iconic giants of literature who revered Knut Hamsun, includes Isaac Bashevis Singer who said; “The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun.” Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse and many others of similar renown were inspired by Hamsun. Thomas Mann described Knut Hamsun as, “A descendant of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche.”

When it is realized that such figures, who could best be described as Europe’s greatest sons, have been maligned, one realizes that the West is no better than its wartime ally, the dreaded Soviet Union. Thankfully, there is still to be discovered honest authors and publishers. One wonders therefore if one day a small street set off from Adolf Hitler Boulevard in London might be renamed Michael Walsh Lane.

The compelling stories of these five great Europeans is brilliantly told by Mike Walsh in his popular title; Heroes Hang When Traitors Triumph.
