After World War I, Germany had to agree to the cession of Danzig along with most of the provinces of Posen and West Prussia to Poland. This is what happens when you lose a war: you lose territory. When the Jordan lost in the 6 Day War, it lost the territory of the West Bank. I have no doubt that if Israel lost any of its wars against the Muslim hordes, there would have been no giving back of any of the Holy Land, no matter how much Jews in the world would have cried.


But I digress, my story concerns Gdansk (the Polish spelling of Danzig) where the world first saw the efficacy of the Nazi's Blitzkrieg on 1 Sep 1939. The Germans re-annexed the City of Danzig and by the next day set up the Stutthof concentration camp by refitting the existing civilian internment camp previously run by the Danzig police. Stutthof was the first concentration camp built by the Nazis outside of Germany and, interestingly, it was also the last camp liberated by the Allies, on 9 May 1945.

Danzig had a population in the hundreds of thousands, mostly ethnic Germans but at the end of the war the Soviets handed German territory occupied by the Red Army over to Poland. The large majority of the ethnically German population of the city were forced to leave, in what today would be called an ethnic cleansing without the genocidal aspects of that word. The few Germans who remained were forbidden to speak German and the city was rechristened Gdansk. This is what happens when you lose a war ... but I repeat myself.

The reason that present day Gdansk has no insurgent German groups trying to retake the city is precisely because of the good effects of ethnic cleansing. I am not talking about killing here, I am talking about the efficient and humanitarian aspects of displacing an ethnic group from a particular territory in order to create a more ethnically stable society. The mistake that Israel made, and Poland did not, was to worry about world opinion if it were to forcibly move the West Bank's Muslim Arabs to the Jordan.

But because Israel failed to do the right thing, even the Christian Arabs in the West Bank are suffering under the swords of the Muslims living there. While West Bank Christians have been decimated, Israel's Christian community has prospered and grown by at least 270 percent since the founding of the state [JCPA].

In 1968 I visited some very distant relatives in Paris, France; third cousins once removed, that is to say my father shared the same great-great-grandparents but not the same great-grandparents. The daughter was a stunning, tiny young woman with deep purple nails and dressed in the manner much like today's Gothic Lifestyle minus the piercings. Her brother was a Communist which was not unusual for young French teens whose parents were rather wealthy. We have similar morons in America today, usually well-off Hollywood types who have no clue what made their wealth possible or young Liberals whose parents made it under "evil" Capitalism. There are even billionaires who still do not understand how Capitalism works.

It was the year of student riots and strikes all over America and Europe; Paris also had them with a vengeance in 1968. At one point, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower a mob of students were taunting a cordon of Gendarmes when one of the officers noticed me clicking away on my Nikon and went straight for me. I was still clicking when his baton struck my camera and I yelled out, "Je suis Américain!!!" which so nonplussed him that he froze on the spot. He motioned me to go on my way and as I withdrew into the mob I was surrounded by French students patting me on my back for taking such brave photos.

All those years when the French happily voted in Communist Party candidates finally led to the present economic problems in France. Recall the French riots over the First Employment Contract and the miserable situation employers are in. The French will only learn their lesson with the complete collapse of their economy.

Bernie`s Bic Vacation

Bic Pen Art

In 1968 my brother and I toured Europe, see my previous posts on that topic here, and one of the ways we paid for the trip was to sell products in the Iron Curtain countries. For example we brought Levis, stockings, sweaters, and Playboy Magazines. My mother told me that Bic pens were very poplar in Poland since the locally made pens leaked and were, to be frank, just crap compared to Western-manufactured products.

A small amount of research informed us that we could pick up the pens rather cheaply at one of their factory outlets in Belgium. We picked up over a thousand Bic pens for less than 4 cents a piece and sold them in Poland for about a buck a pop.

We only had to pick some busy-looking corner in any Polish city, park the car, open the front hood to display our wares and within minutes we were surrounded by eager Polish shoppers. One time we saw a cop coming over and my brother and I thought we were busted. But he only asked if we had Levis in his size. Normally we would sell jeans for 20 or 30 bucks (about 5 times what we paid in the states) but we sold the pair to him for $12. Always important to shmear the local protection!

Hotels in Poland at that time cost about 3 dollars a day, meals were less than a dollar so you can imagine that my brother and I lived quite well for the few weeks we were in Poland. I have no idea what hookers charged since, being young Americans, we needed only merely point at Polish girls to have our way with them.

In most cities we traveled through, we were the only young men driving a car even in large cities such as Warsaw. In 1968, only high-ranking Polish Officials had cars. Despite the fact we were tooling around in a cheap Renault 6, in Polish girls' eyes it was a few hundred thousand dollar Maserati. We were like movie stars.

How Jews Saved the World from Tyranny

Once every few weeks or so, an email or comment is left for me, telling me that it's sad that Hitler didn't finish the job. What this fool doesn't realize is that if it were not for Jews, he'd be speaking German in a Godless world.

The two great truths of World War Two:

1) More than any other person, Hitler was most instrumental in the formation of the State of Israel.
2) If it were not for Jews, Hitler would have conquered the entire world.

Before I explain, let me say this post started almost 40 years ago. It was 1968 and my brother Pete and I were driving through rain and dense fog on a moonless night on a murky Polish highway driving as fast as we could in order to get to the Czech border before our visas expired. In those days, you could visit and stay in an Eastern Bloc country only if you had a valid visa for a specific time period. We didn't know what would happen if we overstayed, but we didn't want to find out. Communist jails did not have a good reputation.

We passed a signpost so fast I could not read it and keep my eyes on the road, so I asked Pete if he caught the words. He wasn't as proficient in Polish as I was so he offered a tentative guess, "Obyazd?"

The Gratitude of Muslims

Yugoslavia

In the Summer of 1969 my brother and I just finished touring Italy and we decided to drive to Greece by going through Yugoslavia. We nearly made a fatal mistake. There were a number of Yugoslavia maps printed by major oil companies such as Caltex, Esso and BP but they had no actual gas stations within the country; they relied on material given to them by the Tito government.

We didn't find out until we were 80% of the way through Yugoslavia that the major highway printed as going all the way to Greece, in fact ended 125 miles short.

When we arrived in the town of Pec, in what is now Kosovo, the super highway ended, and so we asked the townspeople (I speak a few of the Serbo-Croatian tongues) where we could find the rest of the highway. They laughed. There was no more highway. They said Tito did not want the International community to know that Yugoslavia after 25 years of communist rule still did not have a major highway going from one end of the country to the other and so he fabricated one for the maps.

We were so far deep into the country that it would have ruined our vacation to go back the way we came, so we decided, how bad could the local roads to Greece be? We'll just persevere without a super highway.

By the way, my brother and I felt uneasy in this part of the world, the people looked at us as if we were easy targets of banditry and so we left Pec quickly. On reflection, these were Muslims and so perhaps we were lucky they didn't slit our throats right there and then.
