The castle above the clouds

The castle above the clouds

Did Gestapo take the name for Euthanasia program 14f13 (1) from the year of death of Jacques de Molay (1265-1314)(2)? There are many stories and legends about castles, and the people, who lived in them. Do you know that the grandmaster of Normandy Templars Jacques de Molay went to a bonfire in the year 1314, and the horrifying detail in history is that Nazi governments "Euthanasia" or killing operation Action14f13 has got the same numbers, what are the years of the death of Jacques de Molay? Is this thing coincidence or made in purpose remains a mystery. 

This page is an interesting image of the castle above the clouds, and I think that it would be interesting to think about people, who might live in that castle all their live. In this case, we would handle the thing, what is called as "grown in the bottle". That means that if the person is closed in that castle for all their life, they would think that the entire world is this castle. And in this perspective, the other people are like aliens to them. 

And that is the reason, why castles were built. Their mission was to isolate the noblemen from ordinary people. And this isolation meant that those people were able to serve their superiorities, bu that isolation also made easy to control the military officials by using fear. If the person, who was in charge of the castle would not do what the higher rank official want, that thing caused that the rebellious person would be arrested. 

But the thing that we are calling as isolation made also easy to control those people, who ruled the force. They needed money and food for a living, and this is the reason, why those castles are so effective tools for isolation and control. When we are thinking about the people, who lived in those castles, they might think that ordinary people were some kind of barbarians.

The thing is that those people knew, that they were acting wrong, but that thing turns to hate and fear. The thing is that the taxes, what the king was collected through those castles, and that hide the role of the king. And sometimes the people, who lived in the castles were prosecuted and convicted about stealing money from the king. But the reality was that this kind of case was meant for offering the sacrificed gift for people. 

And one of those cases is claimed to be the case of Elizabeth Báthory. The thing, in this case, was that this woman was not rougher than any other noble person in that kingdom. And also people claim that the prince of Hungary had debt from that family, which means that people sometimes compare that case with the case of Templars. 

They were arrested because they were officially revolt against the King of France. But the real reason could be that many noblemen in Europe were lent money from that organization. But who gave that money to Templars? Were those soldier-monks representatives of the Hansa, and that money belonged to that powerful organization of tradesmen. 

Templars could be suitable middlemen between Hansa and the customers of that bank, and that means that there could be people, who will not want to pay back those lendings. And maybe Templars didn't tell the origin of that money to the king, who thought that he must not pay that money back. So the prosecutions were the usury, and of course blasphemy. That thing caused, that three Templars sent to a bonfire in 1314. 

Sometimes have been claimed that Nazis took the name for their Euthanasia or killing program 14f13 from this case. But that thing can be pure coincidence.

A story about the Holocaust and why somebody wants to forget those things.

A story about the Holocaust and why somebody wants to forget those things.

In the next text, I will write about Jew informants, who worked for Gestapo. In the beginning, I must say that there is no knowledge, were those people really Jews or did some Gestapo agents used the identities of the murdered Jews during the Second World War?  And also I will write about rewriting about history, and here I must say, that antisemitism was not only the German phenomenon. There were many other countries, where Jews and gypsies were persecuted by police and local authorities, and during the Second World War, there were people, who believed that informing Gestapo about Jews would give that person better live and benefits. And also some people saw that selling trips to Jews and working as the informant of Gestapo would their own smuggling and black market forgot by Nazi authorities. And those people could be sold Jews for money to Nazis.

Making the nation proud again is the motto, what normally is used when the history is rewritten for please the new rulers of the nation. And the history of East Europe is rewritten many times because the rulers have been changed many times, and every ruler those nations have a different point of view in history. And when we are thinking about the Holocaust, we are seeing people, who are over 90 years old, and those people seem helpless and maybe we are thinking that "let it be". But 20 years ago those same people were 70 years old, and they might be able to answer the questions about the Holocaust in the court of law.

This is the problem with the law. Should we let other this kind of crimes to get old, if the person is old?  The thing about the Holocaust is very complicated. The Jews were not tolerated people in many countries in the 1930s and when Germany occupied small countries around it, it recruited local people to the police, and the thing was that in the Baltic states were the political situation that the first the Communists were persecuted other people when Stalin occupied those nations. And then the German army occupied those areas and used the propaganda, what connected Jews and communists together, what caused the hate in the people's mind. Of course, German propaganda must enlarge the willing of co-operating with occupation governments, but there were people, who thought that Nazis were the change to increase their position in the eyes of society.

That caused the situation, that the local police, under the supervision of the SS took part in the persecution. Those police-units were also operated against partisans, and during those "cleaning operations," many civilians were killed because of punishment or revenge of the partisan actions, and if some partisans were killed an officer, the entire village in some area could be killed by Einsatzgruppen, what were assisted the police and members of those police units were worked as the translators for Gestapo during the interrogations. During the Second World War, the British intelligence recruited Jews, because they were trusted operators. Jews were sent to concentration camps and executed if they were arrested, and that's why SOE wanted to recruit those people for their operations. The thing in the 1930s was that many people in Europe were antisemites and the antisemitism was seen also in the school books.

And when Nazis arrested those persons, they commandeer the property of those inmates in their control. And after the war, the houses and real estates, what belonged to Jews should return to the persons, who owned that property. But if there was nobody, who was survived from the Holocaust that property was free to take. In fact, some people, who helped those inmates made it because of money. They asked money for the cargo, and this is the thing, what has sometimes forgotten. They were actually human traders, who operated with the same methods, like people, who sold trips away from Syria.

And those people took sometimes very big money from that kind of actions. But in fact, the antisemitism did not belong only in German society. Many other nations were also separated Jews from their society, and isolated that group. Many leaders who were served Gestapo and the German government during the Second World War wanted to forget their role in the occupation government. The most well-known co-operatives were the Vichy-France personnel, who wanted to fight along with Germans, but as we know, that many people in Norway and Denmark had Nazi sympathies, and they served in Waffen SS.

But there is one little thing, what has always forgotten in the sad story of the Holocaust. And that is the "Blue Police". The police, what was served Nazis in the Ghettos. Those persons were actually Jews, and they were worked under Nazi supervision. They were working as the uniformed police, but there were also undercover Gestapo informants, whose mission was to uncover the locations of Jews and other resistance. Gestapo used those people in the operations, where they destroyed the resistance cells and some of those persons bought the freedom or life for their own people, and in fact, there is claiming that some of those persons got the papers that they were Arians. That thing could also be fake, but the thing is that maybe some Gestapo undercover officials used the identities, what was taken from the people, whose family and themselves were murdered in the concentration camps.

And also some SS-officials could have played Jews, and they have used the identities, what have taken from the murdered people. Nobody actually knows how many of those people served in the Foreign Legion or even in the Israeli Army after the Second World War. When we are thinking or searching this thing, we are facing the thing, that famous SS-Commando Otto Skorzeny were made the bombs, what were used in the bomb campaigns against Nazi engineers, who were worked for the Kamel Nasser in the 1960s before the Six Days War. So that kind of things causes rumors, that maybe some SS-officials have given instructions, how to handle terrorists or Arabs?

And nobody actually ever investigated the thing, that some Jews were destroyed the membership archives of their Synagoga, and some of those people were served even in Waffen-SS. There are tales that some Jews, who could hide their identities served also under the command of the notorious SS-General Odilo Globocnik, the person who was responsible for the extermination camps. That kind of things is really complicated to investigate. Of course, Jew personality and identity were a good cover up or role for the undercover Gestapo officials, who were trying to slip in the partisan groups.
