Parts of 1986 report on Nazis in Canada must be made public: judge
https://nationalpost.com/news/nazis-canada-report-declassifiedIt all seems mysterious to me: Did Canada allow Nazis to settle here after #WWII out of carelessness? Or was there some scheme, like favouring anti-Communists, regardless of what they did before 1945? And why is there still secrecy about the Deschênes Commission?

From the article: "Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney has suggested that Canada is “at war.” Not a shooting war, but about as serious a business for the country’s future as anything in our history."
3. If PM Mackenzie King found time to speak to Parliament at the start of something as grave as #WWII, PM #MarkCarney could find time to do so during a trade war.

Make performing Nazi salute #criminal offence in #UK
#Nazi salute is widely recognised as symbol of Nazi ideology & #atrocities of #WWII
Its public use is reasonably understood to be #intimidation or endorsement of #extremist #ideology
We believe a clear criminal offence is needed to address deliberate public use, provide legal clarity and deter its use, while protecting legitimate use, where the intent is not extremist.

HMS Spartan was a British light cruiser commissioned on 12 July 1943. In Jan 1944, Spartan was stationed off Anzio during Operation Shingle. On 29 Jan she was attacked by German aircraft using a guided bomb, probably a Henschel Hs 293 radio-controlled glide bomb. Spartan sank quickly in shallow water with heavy loss of life among her crew. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/hms-spartan-british-light-cruiser/ #cruiser #hmsspartan #LightCruiser #maritimehistory #NavalHistory #royalnavy #secondworldwar #warships #worldwartwo #ww2 #WWII

Jozef Garlinski & Eileen Short
"I shan't make any attempt to get away, I shall stay in Warsaw. I will wait for you"
On the 1st of September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 25-year-old Christian Pole Jozef Garlinski had just fallen in love with Eileen Short, an Irish nurse on an exchange visit from Liverpool. His colonel gave him an hour's leave to get married before the regiment left for the front. Eileen's parting words to Jozef were her commitment to wait.
Jozef joined the Polish underground resistance. He was arrested in April 1943 + arrived at Auschwitz in May. Eileen remained in Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 she helped care for wounded. The German SS captured + shot anyone who looked like a soldier or who was wearing an armband. Eileen survived only because her red cross armband had falllen off + was stuffed in her pocket. The survivors were taken to a camp for civilians near the city. She escaped from the camp + spent the next few months with relatives of Jozef..
Jozef + Eileen had decided before the war that if they were separated + the Soviets took over Poland they would head for the West + contact each other through Eileen's mother in Ireland. Their plan was successful, both reaching London where they settled + raised their son.

#China #WWII #FalseFlags #history
"On the night of September 18, 1931, Japanese forces from the Kwantung Army staged an explosion along a section of railway under their control near Liutiaohu in the northern suburbs of Shenyang, China. They then falsely accused Chinese troops of sabotage and used it as a pretext to launch a sudden attack on the Beidaying barracks of the Northeast Army and the city of Shenyang. This marked the beginning of Japan's invasion of Northeast China and became known as the September 18 Incident.
The September 18 Incident was the inevitable outcome of Japan's continental policy of aggression against China, particularly its so-called Manchuria-Mongolia policy. After World War I (WWI), while Japan appeared to uphold international cooperation on the 'China question' under the framework of the 'Washington System,' it nonetheless spared no effort in northeastern China to defend and expand its alleged special interests in Manchuria and Mongolia.
In 1927, the Tanaka Giichi cabinet convened the Eastern Conference, which formally adopted a policy of using the 'separation of Manchuria and Mongolia' as both the starting point and focus for Japan's step-by-step strategy of invading China and expanding its influence globally.
When the global capitalist system was rocked by the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, Japan plunged into economic turmoil. Amid this domestic crisis, the previously marginalized militarist forces regained prominence. They aggressively promoted the idea that China's resource-rich northeast was Japan's 'lifeline' and 'vital interest zone' necessary for overcoming its national crisis. After Japan's Kwantung Army launched its war of aggression against China, Emperor Hirohito took no action to stop it, and the Japanese government subsequently endorsed and supported the military's actions. Within less than half a year, Japanese forces had occupied all three northeastern provinces of China and set up the puppet state of 'Manchukuo' to impose colonial rule.
The September 18 Incident thus marked not only Japan's open defiance of the post-WWI international order, but also the beginning of its unilateral bid to dominate China through war. It was from this point that Japan became the principal origin of fascist military aggression in the East.
(. . .)
In February 1932, a League of Nations investigative mission, headed by Victor Bulwer-Lytton and composed of representatives from Britain, the United States, France, Italy and Germany, arrived in China to conduct an investigation. The resulting Lytton Report, released on October 2, condemned Japan's military aggression but simultaneously acknowledged Japan's so-called special interests in Manchuria. The report characterized the incident as the culmination of 'years of conflict'" between China and Japan.
(. . .)
The September 18 Incident was not merely the beginning of Japan's large-scale war of aggression against China; it also marked the first flashpoint of localized warfare that would ultimately escalate into the broader conflict of World War II (WWII).
By launching the September 18 Incident, Japan swiftly created an irreversible fait accompli of territorial aggression in China. This brazen move not only shocked the international community but also emboldened fascist forces elsewhere in the world.
Japan's rapid and unpunished seizure of Northeast China sent a powerful and instigative signal to other authoritarian powers. Benito Mussolini was reportedly encouraged by Japan's aggression to pursue his own invasion of Ethiopia. Likewise, Adolf Hitler repeatedly cited the situation in the Far East in internal discussions, using Japan's unchecked aggression as evidence of Western weakness. The Japanese example provided him with both the confidence and the strategic template to openly violate the Treaty of Versailles and remilitarize the Rhineland."

#hiroshima80 #廣島原爆
As someone from Taiwan, how the #WWII ended at Pacific battle fields has always been an important and mind bending cautionary tale for me. The Imperial Japanese Government did many genocidal acts during their campaign and colonisation. I think it is fair to say hatery towards Japanese officers in the colonies and occupied territories is quite widespread. But that doesn't mean Allies dropping atomic bombs in Hiroshima is forgivable. Evil doesn't mean you should do evil back. -

Season 3 Episode 7: Protecting the Environment With GIS: Mapping WWII's Sunken Ships with Paul Heersink
This week, Ariel chats with Paul Heersink, cartographer and Program Manager for the Roads and Addresses program at ESRI Canada. Formerly, he was Production Manager of the Community Maps Program: an initiative that is aiming to build a seamless topographic basemap of Canada using contributor data, and the Roads and Addresses program aims to do the same with community-sourced data, building a navigable map of Canada with the most up-to-date information provided by those who know it best.
Paul also personally maintains and updates a map of the sunken battleships (and other naval vessels) that were downed during World War Two. Paul’s map combines two of his interests - cartography and WWII history and, though it started as a passion project outside of work, Paul has been approached by numerous organizations since publishing his data that are very interested in using it to support salvaging and reclamation efforts. The ships have been called “ticking ecological time bombs” as they are carrying crude oil, munitions, and other toxic materials that can leach into the water around them as the hulls degrade. That said, some also contain traditional treasure! Join us for a discussion about the details.
