Other losses - The Genocide of Over 7m Germans

After Germany’s surrender in 1945, the Allies—led by the U.S. (Eisenhower), USSR, UK, and France—established brutal detention camps where millions of German POWs and civilians died from starvation, disease, and executions. These atrocities remain largely suppressed in mainstream history.

1. Eisenhower’s Death Camps (Rheinwiesenlager – U.S. Zone)
Location: Open-air cages along the Rhine (e.g., Bad Kreuznach, Bretzenheim).

Conditions:

No shelters, food, or medical care.

Prisoners forced to sleep in mud, drink from puddles.

Cannibalism reported in extreme starvation cases.

Death Toll:

Estimated 500,000–1,000,000 German POWs & civilians (historians like James Bacque).

U.S. Army records list mass graves but downplay causes.

Policy:

Eisenhower’s Directive (April 1945): Classified German POWs as "Disarmed Enemy Forces" (DEFs) to bypass Geneva Convention protections.

Systematic starvation: Rations cut to 800 calories/day (less than Nazi concentration camps).

2. Soviet & Polish Camps (Gulag System for Germans)
Deportations to Siberia:

200,000+ German civilians (women, children) sent to Soviet labor camps.

50%+ death rate from forced labor, malnutrition.

Mass Executions:

NKVD massacres (e.g., Kemerovo, Vorkuta).

Rape as warfare: Soviet troops raped 2 million+ German women (1945–47).

3. French Camps (Forced Labor & Torture)
POW Death Squads:

50,000+ Germans worked to death in mines (e.g., Lorraine coal pits).

Torture common: Waterboarding, beatings for "Nazi confessions."

Civilian Internment:

Alsace-Lorraine ethnic cleansing – Germans expelled or imprisoned.

4. British Camps (Silent Genocide)
Bergen-Belsen Repurposed:

British kept 14,000+ Germans in former Nazi camp (1945–48).

Typhus outbreaks ignored – thousands died.

Forced Labor in Norway/UK:

German POWs clearing mines (50% casualty rate in some units).

5. Allied Policies Justifying Atrocities
Morgenthau Plan (1944): U.S. Treasury proposal to dismantle German industry, reduce population to subsistence farming.

JCS 1067 (1945): U.S. occupation directive enforcing starvation rations for Germans.

Expulsions (1945–50):

14 million Germans ethnically cleansed from Eastern Europe.

2 million+ dead in death marches (e.g., Sudetenland, Prussia).

6. Modern Parallels: From Denazification to Technocracy
Then: Allied "denazification" = mass internment, reeducation, collective guilt.

Now:

Covid lockdowns = New "emergency" detention logic.

EU censorship = Digital denazification (banning "extremist" speech).

Ukraine War: Repeat of Russians = Nazis propaganda to justify atrocities.

Conclusion: A Hidden Holocaust
The Allied death camps were deliberate policy, not accidental. Eisenhower, Stalin, and Churchill wanted Germany broken permanently. Today, the same tactics (dehumanization, camps, censorship) return under "global security" pretexts.
