    This is very similar to present day Gaza except the mass graves have already sanitized the scene somewhat -- and of course, journalists with cameras are being targeted by the IDF which limits the photo documentation of the genocide.
    Very little difference now between modern day Israel and Nazi Germany apart from the fact that Israelis are in turmoil trying to get rid of their government compared to the Germans who loved Hitler .


    The scene is from the deck of a German cruise ship in 1936. As FDR's America and Europe remain deeply mired in The Great Depression, common German folk were enjoying the fruits of full employment, rising wages and a strong interest-free honest currency. For families who wouldn't normally be able to afford such a nice vacation, Hitler's "Strength Through Joy" program provided enjoyable leisure time with first-rate accommodations for people who, just a few years earlier, had literally been starving! More than 30,000,000 Germans were able to take advantage of the various vacation packages, weekend activities and theater excursions offered through the public / private partnership program.
    .Just look at the sheer joy on the faces of these wonderful people on board a cruise ship -- perhaps departing from a Baltic port for Scandinavian waters or some other destination. This was part of the miraculous economic, social, cultural and moral revival that Hitler and the big bad "Nazis" conceived and successfully implemented for the German "volk" -- the people --- and they loved Hitler for it.


    Strength Through Joy public luxury vacations for the hard working and suddenly prosperous folks of Germany.


    Hitler liberated Germany from the cruel post-World War I dictates and burdens of the Treaty of Versailles. He also eradicated Marxism, restored gun rights, freed the economy, protected religion, promoted culture & morality and lifted his people out of the worldwide Great Depression. For this, he came to be universally loved -- even by those who had once opposed him!

    During this same time (1936), Britain's former Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, visited Germany, and then wrote of what he had witnessed. His observations were totally congruent with this happy "sack race" cruise ship photo. In an article written for The Daily Express titled "I Talked to Hitler," George wrote:.“I have now seen the famous German leader and also something of the great change he has effected. Whatever one may think of his methods – and they are certainly not those of a parliamentary country -- there can be no doubt that he has achieved a marvelous transformation in the spirit of the people, in their attitude towards each other, and in their social and economic outlook..He rightly claimed at Nuremberg that in four years his movement had made a new Germany. It is not the Germany of the first decade that followed the war – broken, dejected and bowed down with a sense of apprehension and impotence. It is now full of hope and confidence, and of a renewed sense of determination to lead its own life without interference from any influence outside its own frontiers..There is for the first time since the war (WW 1) a general sense of security. The people are more cheerful. There is a greater sense of general gaiety of spirit throughout the land. It is a happier Germany. I saw it everywhere, and Englishmen I met during my trip and who knew Germany well were very impressed with the change..One man has accomplished this miracle. He is a born leader of men. A magnetic and dynamic personality with a single-minded purpose, a resolute will and a dauntless heart. He is not merely in name but in fact the national Leader. He has made them safe against potential enemies by whom they were surrounded. He is also securing them against the constant dread of starvation which is one of the most poignant memories of the last years of the War and the first years of the Peace. Over 700,000 died of sheer hunger in those dark years. You can still see the effect in the physique of those who were born into that bleak world..The fact that Hitler has rescued his country from the fear of a repetition of that period of despair, penury and humiliation has given him an unchallenged authority in modern Germany. As to his popularity, especially among the youth of Germany, there can be no manner of doubt. The old trust him; the young idolize him. It is not the admiration accorded to a popular leader. It is the worship of a national hero who has saved his country from utter despondency and degradation..To those who have actually seen and sensed the way Hitler reigns over the heart and mind of Germany, this description may appear extravagant. All the same, it is the bare truth..That impression more than anything I witnessed during my short visit to the new Germany. There was a revivalist atmosphere. It had an extraordinary effect in unifying the nation. Catholic and Protestant, Prussian and Bavarian, employer and workman, rich and poor, have been consolidated into one people. Religious, provincial and class origins no longer divide the nation. There is a passion for unity born of dire necessity..I have never met a happier people than the Germans and Hitler is one of the greatest men.


    Former Prime Minister David Lloyd George (and many other well known people throughout the world) heaped tremendous praise upon Hitler for having made Germany great again in such a short period of time.

    So then, what does all of this "happiness" --"cheerfulness" -- "revivalism" -- "hope" -- confidence" -- "unity" -- -- and "gaiety of spirit" described in George's summary -- and clearly observable in the cruise-ship "sack race" photo -- have to do with explaining what World War II was all about, you ask?.
