In a concurring opinion at Military Tribunal II, the following excerpt from an SS publication was cited. While it was noted that defendents stated they had not heard of it, it was considered exemplary of something about the SS.

      "Sub-human will remain sub-human, and Jew will remain Jew, whether they are called Churchill, Roosevelt or La Guardia. For us they are the scum of the earth. They back Stalin, the sub-human No. 1. They are his confederates and comrades."

      Some of the other inscriptions are quoted here, their application to the pictures being apparent:

      "The sub-human, this apparently fully equal creation of nature, when seen from a biological view-point, with hands, feet and a sort of brain, with eyes and a mouth, nevertheless is quite a different, a dreadful creature, is only an imitation of man with man-resembling features, but inferior to any animal as regards intellect and soul. It is interior, this being is a cruel chaos of wild, unrestricted passions, with a nameless will to destruction with a most primitive lust, and of unmasked depravity."

      "Sub-human -- and nothing else."

      "For not everything is alike that has a human face."

      "Beast called beast."

      "And this underworld of sub-humans found its leader: the eternal Jew."

      As the US was on the same side as Russia in that war, US criticism of Stalin was non-existent. In fact all through the 1920s and 1930s anything critical of Stalin's Soviet Union was nearly impossible to get published in the United States. On the other hand, Germany knew of Stalin's purges and his slave labor camps and his murders of his own people and foreigners from the time they occurred. They knew what Stalin was like at the time this was written.

      And it is clear that any person who would ally himself with a man such as Stalin was no better than him. Even though it was a matter of military necessity to for that alliance and even though it was a matter of political necessity to praise that number one sub-human, it did not change the fact that the SS was speaking truthfully in identifying Stalin as the number one sub-human.

      And yet the author of this concurring opinion, J. Musmanno, uses this document as evidence against the SS. He considers it evidence of the evil of SS that they would they would say such thing about the number one sub-human and those who were allied with him.

      And although it is politically incorrect to mention it today, the leaders of the communist movement in Russia were predominantly Jews. For whatever reason that happened, it was common knowledge in those days. It is no secret that when Senator McCarthy took on his crusade against American communists he chose jewish lawyers to avoid the charge of anti-semitism as he was going to be investigating to many Jews.

      It is also politically incorrect to mention that in the 1920s and 1930s not only were American Jews the primary supporters of Stalin and the Soviet Union but were also working as censors of any negative stories on the subject. You do not have to like it but it is fact. American Jews were complicite in hiding the atrocities of the Soviet Union and in fact joined in condemning Nazi Germany in its support of Stalinism.

      So from the point of view of this publication it is saying nothing that was true in a propaganda sense from their point of view. In out politically correct times we have to ignore the jewish connection but if we do so, we have to agree with the publication's description of Stalin.
