Translated "Avante!" article by Jorge Cadima, Member of the PCP International Department

The D-Day 70th anniversary celebration - the D-Day landings, carried out by the USA, in Normandy, June 1944- was a colossal farce. It was, instead, Lie- Day. Obama, in his speech , did not make any reference to the USSR role, concerning the Nazi-Fascism defeat, during World War II. On the contrary, he stated that “ at the end of the longest day[…] Hitler’s Wall was broken down[…]. It was here, along these coasts, that tide changed into the common struggle towards freedom”. The inextinguishable historical truth , had taken place long before, on June 6th 1944, when decisive battles took place in the East Front, during World War II, where more than 75% of the Wehrmacht operational troops were stationed. The Nazis were defeated in Moscow, in January 1942, in Stalingrad, in February 1943 and in Kursk, in August 1943.The Leningrad siege was broken in January 1944. Long before D-Day, the Soviet people and the Red Army’s heroism and courage, had changed the Nazi hordes” direction“.

But the historical lie goes on further. At the end of the war, a good deal of the USA’s state apparatus ( highlighting the future CIA) was occupied in recycling the Nazi apparatus towards the anti-communist and anti-Soviet struggle. An exemplar case: narrated, in detail, by journalist Christopher Simpson in his book, “Blowback: the American Nazi recruitment and its effect in the Cold War”, is of Reinhard Gehlen, “ Hitler’s most responsible official, in the military intelligence in the East Front”. Gehlen surrendered to the American troops , in May 1945, together with all intelligence documentation, in his possession. And under the USA service, he reconvened all the Nazi agent network in the East and re-launched it amid the not always “cold” war : “ in 1946, Gehlen had held hand of the Vlasov Army’s limited financing [ of Russian collaborationists] and the Ukrainian OUN / UPA undercover army”. The latter, is the Svoboda and Right Sector current parties‘ cradle, which played a decisive role in the coup, in Ukraine, last February. Gehlen was not but a mere Hitler’s and USA’s imperialism agent. Between 1956 and 1968, he presided to the BND, the Germany Federal Republic’s intelligence, trained under the “Gehlen Organization”. As Simpson recalls, Gehlen’s importance is intimately connected to his war crimes: “ Gehlen obtained great part of his information through his role in one of the most horrific war atrocities: torture, interrogations and assassination through hunger, of about 4 million Soviet war prisoners”.

Undercover armies were not only stationed, in the East. A false, naïve nature news, published in the German magazine, Der Spiegel, in May 14th last , and entitled “ Veteran Nazis organized an illegal Army”, stating the “secret” army held “ about 2000 Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS ex-officers, issued from the Nazi times” and which “ in case of war,[…]the secret army could reach up to 40 thousand soldiers”. They had important supporters: “The involvement of important figures belonging to Germany’s future army forces, the Bundeswehr, is a sign of how serious this organization was”. Among the “ outstanding actors” was Albert Schnez, a future counsellor of the GFR’s military chief, and “Hans Speidel - who was to become the NATO’s Allied Army Commandant-in-Chief, in Central Europe, in 1957, what proves the presence of the highest influence supporters.

There exists a leitmotif, directly connecting Nazism unto Fascism growth in Ukraine, during 2014, that link going through the USA, as reported in an article in The Nation magazine (in 2014.03.28) with the title “ Seven decades of Nazi collaboration: the USA’s dirty Ukrainian little secret”. The puppet Perochenko’s presence, in Normandy, illustrates the monumental L-Day‘s farce. And the more and more Euro - Atlantic dominant classes’ shameless Fascist direction.
