You are the defence for the Nazis in court, what do you do?

What can't you understand about those show trials being politicized? The only questions allowed were of the " What was your part in the holyhoax?" sort. The question of whether or not the holyhoax was indeed a hoax didn't arise. You seem to be incapable of grasping the concept of a politicized show trial.
Why can't you grasp such simple concepts as "show trials" or even "photographs"?

How can a witness who denies knowledge of an event swear that the event didn't occur? Hoess was tortured into his confession but that's irrelevant to Nessie. A confession is a confession no matter the circumstances of it being made. Neither can Nessie grasp the concept of a politicized show trial.

Neither can Nessie grasp the concept that the Tibetan cremations, the Hindu cremations, the unknown method of cremation at Dresden and the alleged cremations at Treblinka weren't all the same. Hey, a grate is a grate and a cremation is a cremation. That about right, Nessie?

You are assuming that Germans ever got their national sovereignty back, which ─ with regards to War Guilt and what we now call the Holocaust ─ is not the case.

Even in the Unites States today, if you in all seriousness call for both sides of the Holocaust to be presented in the classroom, you will hit a hurricane of outrage from the Left and from the Jewish lobby, which overwhelmingly owns the corporate media ─ and then you will lose your job. Even tenured college professors like Arthur Butz at Northwestern have to stay silent on the subject.

But in the United States, which nominally has the First Amendment, at least you will not be prosecuted by the State for Thoughtcrime, and then fined and jailed, as is the case in countries like Germany.

General Curtis LeMay, who devised the Combat Box technique where B-17 bombers protected each other in formation with their guns while bombing Germany, and the tactic of fire-bombing of Japanese cities at low level with incendiaries at night ─ tactics which killed tens of thousands of civilians ─ admitted as much, i.e., what you said above about how he, himself would have been considered a War Criminal had the Americans lost the war. 

The retired former Chief of Staff of the Air Force, who was a critic of the Kennedy and Johnson policies in Vietnam, made these comments at the Airpower Symposium at Maxwell Air Force Base in 1978. I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol at the time and have a copy of those Proceedings (LINK).

The American Army Air Force dropped leaflets asking Japanese civilians to evacuate their cities so that they would not get hurt, but I doubt this would have cut much ice at a Nuremberg type of show-trial, had the Americans lost the war and General LeMay been put on the dock.

In fact, General LeMay understood that the whole point of strategic bombing is to harm the people who work for and support their government ─ and the threat of being able to bomb the enemy into the Stone Age is a credible threat that provided a huge deterrent later during the Cold War.

It can be debated how effective Strategic Bombing actually was, and the moral implications of war in general, but old "Iron Ass" remarked in his old age at the Airpower Symposium that the firebombing of Japanese cities actually killed more than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and yet the two atomic bombings were what everybody was butthurt about.





Nobody is contesting that the Americans and British bombed German and Japanese cities into smithereens. But people do contest the existence of Nazi homicidal gas-chambers ─ and yes, I do pay close attention to the evidence one way or another for such extraordinary claims.
