INSIDE THE NEW HITLER NAZI EMPIRE!
by HARVEY WILSON
Ex-henchmen of Hitler from Nazi Germany now work for Nasser and are changing the United Arab Republic into another gory Third Reich
Today, while the memory of the chaotic empire once ruled by Adolf Hitler is dimming in a world threatened by nuclear war and communist aggression, that very same chaotic empire is being recreated step by step in the Middle East.
Gamel Abdel Nasser, self-appointed Fuhrer of the Arabs, has gathered about him hundreds of Hitler’s ex-henchmen and embarked on an ambitious program to make the United Arab Republic identical to the Third Reich.
Nazi Pattern Followed
Following “Mein Kampf” with fanatical slavishness, every phase of life under Nasser is in strict adherence to the pattern set by Nazi Germany.
For example, Nasser has realized, as did Hitler before him, the importance of controlling the youth of the nation. The new generation in Egypt has been formed into the Arab version of the Hitler Jugend, complete with the uniforms, the marching and the teachings of state supremacy over the individual.
The organization is identical, with the basic unit of 15 youths, boys or girls, being grouped into larger and larger units along military lines. Only one thing has changed, the Nazi swastika has been replaced by the crescent of the Muslims.
In charge of this nationwide regimentation of youth is a staff composed entirely of former Hitler Jugend leaders, imported especially for that purpose. They do as they did for Hitler.
Names Are Changed
Heading this staff are two ex-SS Generals. In overall command is Colonel Hassan Suleiman, formerly SS Gruppenfuhrer Moser of Sudenten-German origin. Moser is assisted by Lt. Colonel Amman, who in actuality is the onetime SS Gruppenfuhrer Buble.
Under their able guidance, little has been changed from the German pattern. The Egyptian youth today goose-step and salute much as did their predecessors of 30 years ago.
Nor has the older generation of Egypt been overlooked. Following Hitler’s lead, Nasser has attempted to win over as much of the population as possible by propaganda, while the unruly rest are dealt with by his Arab SS and Gestapo. As is every other organization within the U.A.R. Nasser’s Secret Police and Elite Guard are patterned directly after the original Nazi Conception and staffed by ex-Nazis.
Nasser’s security forces are divided into two major organizations, as in Germany, the Secret Police and the Elite Guard. The Egyptian equivalent to the Nazi SS is the State Security Cadre, the SSC. It is an extremely well organized body of Arab storm troopers, 70,000 strong.
It is identical in every way to Hitler’s Elite SS Guard. In fact, while Nasser uses former Nazis only in advisory or supervisory capacities, the SSC contains many ex-storm troopers within its rank and file.
The SSC Headquarters are located on Liberation Square in Cairo, in a building reminiscent of the old Gestapo Headquarters at Prinz Albrech Strasse in Berlin. It is staffed entirely with old-guard Nazis, with overall command in the hands of Leopold Gleim.
Now calling himself Lt. Colonel Al-Nasher, Gleim was once head of Hitler’s personal bodyguard and formerly commanded all Gestapo units in German-occupied Poland.
As in Nazi Germany, Nasser has called for nationwide regimentation of youth trained by staff of former goose-stepping Hitler Jugend leaders.
Following Germany’s collapse in 1945, Gleim escaped to Egypt. He was tried in absentia as a war criminal by the Allies and sentenced to death for atrocities his units committed under his orders.
Far from being a hunted, dogged refugee as was Adolf Eichmann, he sits securely in his Arab office, once again directing the arrest of enemies of the state.
Nasser’s Gestapo, like Hitler’s, has several departments whose combined aim is to eliminate all opposition to the regime by the use of terror, arrest and extermination.
Former Gestapo Chief in Charge
One of these is the Secret Police, organized and run by Joachim Damling. Damling comes well-equipped for his post, having been the head of the Gestapo in Dusseldorf under Hitler. Under his command, the Secret Police has become every bit the efficient terror weapon that the Nazi Gestapo once was.
His nominal title, Advisor on Special Activities, belies Damling’s real role as Nasser’s Heindrich Himmler!
Another department under Damling’s control concerns itself with the operation of concentration camps. There are five major concentration camps in Egypt.
Concentration Camps Active
As in the early days of Hitler’s regime, they are used primarily for the imprisonment and liquidation of political prisoners. Two of these, El-Kanater and Abu-Sabal, are located outside of Cairo. The rest are situated away from the populated areas, with one at Maharik in upper Egypt, one at Qena and El-Kharga in the desert, and the fifth at Samara, 200 kilometers southwest of Alexandria.
This last is typical of the extent to which the Nasser government is imitating the Third Reich. It was built as an exact duplicate of Dachau by use of old blueprints and photographs. Dachau was not designed for detention of prisoners, but for their extermination. Nasser’s Dachau at Samara is being used for the same sinister purpose. The likeness is almost incredible.
Hitler Experts Hired
In overall command of the concentration camp system, working directly under Damling, are two experienced ex-SS officers, well versed in their jobs. Dr. Hans Eisele was once chief physician at the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald. Heinrich Willermann was at one time medical director at Dachau. Willermann, formerly a SS Hauptstabsarzt, is now known as Lt. Colonel Naim Fahum.
The control of the nation’s regular prisons is also in the hands of former SS personnel. Supervision of these prisons is the responsibility of the Egyptian Security Police, which in turn is directed by Colonel Ben Salem. Salem, under his former name of SS Oberfuhrer Bernhardt Bender, once headed the Intelligence Service of the Nazi Secret Police in the Ukraine during the war. His SS training has helped him immeasurably in his present work, that of reorganizing all Egyptian prisons according to Gestapo concepts.
The economy of the United Arab Republic is also being reorganized along Nazi patterns. This includes the building of a powerful military machine paid for by increased taxes and contributions from other neo-Nazi circles. The U.A.R. is also pushing a program of heavy industrialization and an increase in agricultural production in a method recalling the five-year plan carried out by Hermann Goering in the late 1930’s.
The economic planning of the U.A.R. is largely in the hands of Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler’s former Reichbank president and Minister of Economics. Operating from his headquarters in Dusseldorf, where he presides over a bank, Schacht has established a vast network of German-Arab trade to help Nasser’s economic policy.
One aspect of this trade, the “import” of ex-Nazis into the U.A.R. for the exclusive use of Nassar’s government, is handled quite effectively by Schacht’s son-in-law, ex-SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny.
During the war, Skorzeny commanded the Special Services branch of the Waffen-SS. His unit carried out such missions as the rescue of Mussolini, the kidnapping of the Hungarian regent Admiral Horthy, and the placing of 150 storm troopers behind Allied lines in the early days of the Battle of the Bulge.
At the end of the war, Skorzeny escaped to Spain, where he carried on a fight to clear himself of war crime charges which lasted several years. Once cleared, by means of a long legal battle with the West German government, Skorzeny set about the establishment of a worldwide organization whose purpose was to keep the ideals of Naziism alive.
Possible Bormann Link
It is quite possible that he is acting under orders from Martin Bormann, once No. 2 Nazi under Hitler and who now lives in the Argentine. However, no definite connection between the two has ever been uncovered. From
his headquarters outside Dublin, Ireland, Skorzeny directs this vast network of neo-Nazis in their attempt to propagate the Nazi faith. Since Nasser assumed power in 1952, Skorzeny has been one of his chief henchmen in the Nazification of the U.A.R.
Working under the innocent guise of an import-export firm in Cairo, and using the unlimited resources placed at his disposal by Nasser, Skorzeny imports items of a very special nature. For the exclusive use of the U.A.R. government, he smuggles in former Nazi officials.
Through his hands pass ex-Gestapo agents for Nasser’s police, former Hitler Jugend leaders for the Egyptian youth movement, SS generals and propaganda officials, Luftwaffe parachutists and Afrikakorps officers; in short, every kind of Hitlerian lieutenant who fulfills certain basic requirements.
These requirements are simple: A fanatic belief in Naziism, acceptance of Nasser as the new Fuehrer, hatred of America, France, Britain and Israel, and some special skill for use by the U.A.R. Day-by-day and month-by-month more Nazis arrive in Egypt to help Nasser reestablish the Third Reich.
The influence of Naziism in Egypt is not new. It had its beginnings in the years before World War II. Egyptian Nationalists saw in Hitler’s Germany a force which would break the British Empire, and thus liberate Egypt from English rule. With the defeat of Rommel in 1943, this dream did not end, but instead the mutual enemies of Germany and Egypt tended to draw the two closer together.
Even after the collapse of Germany in 1945, the Egyptians admired Hitler’s accomplishments, and many fleeing Nazis found a better home in the Nile valley than did others in Argentina. The almost hero-worship which Egyptians had for the Nazis grew until it culminated in the successful seizure of power by the pro-Nazi forces under Nasser.
Not only are the men around Nasser, and indeed Nasser himself, aware that the Nazis are gaining more and more control of the U.A.R., they heartily approve it. As General Naguib said of the Germans in 1954, “They are the only ones in whom we have confidence.”
In 1952, following the revolt which put Nasser into power, one of the new Fuhrer’s ministers, Dr. Noureddine Tarraf, said: “Hitler is the man of my life. The German dictator had been an ideal leader. I have always wished to live like him.”
Even the rank and file of the U.A.R. refer to Hitler affectionately as “Abu Ali.”
The U.A.R. has also gained many of its Nazi personnel by offering unconditional protection to war criminals. Such men as ex-SS Major Otto Remer, who is wanted by the West German government for his neo Nazi activities after the war, have been welcomed in the U.A.R. with open arms. While such men as Adolf Eichmann found seclusion and secrecy in the Argentine, others have found employment and open approval of their Nazi beliefs in Nasser’s Egypt.
What Would Happen to Germany and the Jews
IF HITLER CAME BACK TODAY!
by HARVEY WILSON
Der Fuehrer is far from forgotten in today’s Germany. The rest of world may shrink from the memory of the Nazi terror, but an authoritative public opinion poll reveals that Hitlerism is still alive …
Facts revealing the true feelings of the German people toward Hitler, and which are of tremendous significance to the Free World, have just been uncovered because a high German official was indiscreet in an interview.
Asked this question by a reporter: “Would Adolf Hitler have an easy job taking the German people in if he came back today?” Dr. Fritz Bauer, Attorney General of the powerful state of Hesse, replied:
“If I am to be honest, yes! If Hitler appeared in Germany today, he would not be rejected by the German people. I do not believe that the young German democracy would be strong enough to show him the door. Just the fact that the Germans would not turn their backs on him at once, would have the effect that Hitler and his ideas would find a good soil for growth in the Germany of 1963.”
These opinions caused such a storm of protest that Dr. Bauer was threatened with removal from office by his party; and the Federal Government was wild.
The official German pollsters (Institut fur Demoskopie in Allensbach) sent out interviewers to different parts of West Germany to question representative citizens. Newspapers and magazines got into the act and took polls on their own.
The facts brought in by these opinion-takers will greatly surprise the American public.
It was found, for instance, that Hitler is higher in public opinion today than Erhard, the popular Minister of National Economy, and heir-designate of Chancellor Adenauer. Hitler is higher even than Frederick the Great and Bismarck, the two national idols of the German people.
Five percent of the population over 16 in West Germany—that is, every twentieth person—considers Hitler to be the greatest statesman in German history.
Allensbach asked: “Would you say that without the war, Hitler would have been one of the greatest German statesmen?”
Yes! answered 36 percent of those asked. This is the answer of Germans in Germany today—18 years after Hitler’s defeat. In 1955, 48 percent answered Yes to the same question.
Grim Facts About Poll
A particularly grim fact that was brought out by these recent polls is that more than one-third of the Germans today are satisfied with Hitler as he was up to 1939; this was the Hitler who had long before muzzled the press, wiped out political parties, persecuted the Jews, and set up the concentration camps.
When the questioners dug a bit deeper for reasons, it was brought out that Hitler had incorporated Austria, the Sudeten country, the Memel region and half of Czechoslovakia into Germany, and seemed to be going on to new triumphs, they said. In other words, Hitler without war and above all without a lost war, was all right. No one seemed to remember the price that had been paid by the German people and by other nations for Hitler’s so-called successes up till the spring of 1939.
Politicians, trade unionist, publicists, students, school teachers, secretaries, office workers were all asked for their opinions.
An Important Question
Interestingly enough, there was one question to which their answers were almost a uniform No. A politician like Hitler would have no chance today.
Eugen Kogon, professor of political science at the Darmstadt Institute of Technology, and author of the well-known book, “The SS State”, states his opinions thus:
“Would the people of the Federal Republic, with the political knowledge and political morality of those days, but in the changed national and international conditions of today, be victims of Hitlerism? I say: No. Except for a couple of idiots, maybe. Particularly the modern, young people find the Hitler hysteria both revolting and comical.
“Also, today Hitler would have far fewer reasons and excuses to get excited than then: no Versailles, no reparations, no unemployment, no many-party system, no continual change of governments. … Everybody knows that.”
NO VERSAILLES, Kogon says; and strangely enough, he is right. Actually, Germany lost much more in 1945 than in 1918. And yet from 1919 to 1939 the German people suffered under the “shame of Versailles”—while today the partition of Germany into three parts, a Polish Communist strip, a German Communist strip, and a democratic strip is accepted philosophically by the inhabitants of the democratic strip.
Although the separation of the Eastern regions of Germany is still the subject of stormy demonstrations now and then, the great majority in the West seems to be more or less reconciled to the separation of the Soviet Zone.
NO REPARATIONS: There were some; Krupp was dismantled until 1951. But at the same time the Marshall Plan, that pumped 13 billion dollars into Europe, sent billions into Germany too. But the Young Plan of 1930 provided that Germany should at first pay 1.6 billion marks a year and in 1966, 48 years after the end of the first World War, would have to pay 2.4 billion marks in reparations! A certain amount of foreign illusions certainly helped Hitler a great deal.
No Revolt in Sight
NO UNEMPLOYMENT: In 1932 there were 5.6 million unemployed in Germany. Thirty percent of those who wanted to work could not.
Thousands of them hung around in the city parks, playing cards, arguing, or sleeping with a newspaper over their faces. Today there are jobs for everyone who wants to work.
NO MANY-PARTY SYSTEM: In January 1933 there were twelve parties represented in the Reichstag, seven of them with less than twenty deputies. In the fourteen years of the Weimar Republic there were twelve different Chancellors, three in 1932 alone. In the fourteen years of the Federal Republic the West Germans have been blessed with a single inexhaustible Chancellor and a permanent Minister of Economics. Only three parties are represented in the Bundestag, since the election law keeps splinter parties out of Parliament.
In 1932 street fighting between the parties, above all between Nazis and Communists, caused 140 deaths and thousands of wounded. Many voters who did not have Nazi ideas felt that it was vitally important to get rid of the dangerous radical left party, the Communists, by means of the apparently less dangerous radical right party—to drive the devil out with Beelzebub in order to save the state. Today the German Communist Party is forbidden.
And so the economic and political conditions have changed basically in Germany. Instead of the universal despair of 1932, universal plenty reigns in 1963. People that are satisfied do not want revolutions. Since Hitler’s rise is unthinkable without the dangerous conditions of the Weimar period, a Hitler has no practical chance today.
Many Would Support Nazis
And what about tomorrow? Could a Hitler have a chance tomorrow? There is no simple answer. “I would not shrink at a political murder!” was one student’s opinion. “I would join at once, if the new man was clean!” admitted a retired detective.
One of the questions that the Allensbach public opinion researchers asked was, “Supposing that a new Nazi party tried to come to power, what would your stand be?”
“I would welcome it and support such a party,” said five percent of the adult Federal citizens.
“I would welcome it, but not help it along,” said another five percent. These two groups together form the genuine Nazis: seven percent of the Germans today (Ten years ago, it was 13 percent.)
