Germany's Nazis Exclude Russians from May 8th Victory Day WW2 Celebration

FDR's lengthy fireside chat to the nation on 28 April 1942, said: "On the European front the most important development of the past year has been without question the crushing counteroffensive on the part of the great armies of Russia against the powerful German Army. These Russian forces have destroyed and are destroying more armed power of our enemies -- troops, planes, tanks, and guns -- than all the other United Nations put together." (NOTE: He was already using the phrase "United Nations" with the objective in mind for all of the world's nations to view themselves as having been saved by the U.N. that FDR was intending ultimately to replace all empires and to be the sole source of international laws.) Near the War's end, on 19 September 1944, Churchill telegrammed to Stalin "that it is the Russian army that tore the guts out of the German military machine and is at the present moment holding by far the larger portion of the enemy on its front." As the History Channel's article "Operation Barbarossa" summed-up: "On 22 June 1941, German forces began their invasion of the Soviet Union, ... the most powerful invasion force in history, ... 80% of the German army ... [plus] 30 divisions of Finnish and Romanian troops. [And nowadays yet again, Germany along with Romania and Finland are allied with what has been, ever since FDR died, America's 80-year effort to conquer Russia.] ... By the time Germany officially surrendered to the Allies on 8 May 1945, 80% of its casualties during WW2 had come on the Eastern Front [the Soviet Union]." Wikipedia's "Operation Barbarossa" said "The failure of Operation Barbarossa reversed the fortunes of the Third Reich."

Russia's thanks nowadays for having saved America, UK, and Europe, from a Nazi victory, and saved the entire world from what would otherwise have been a Nazi victory if Russia had not won the crucial Battle of Kursk -- the biggest military battle of all time -- on 23 August 1943, has, by the explicit order of Germany's present-day Government, been excluded from having any representative participating or even attending in Germany's May 8th national celebration of Gemany's defeat. The Governments of the United States and of the United Kingdom are not criticizing Germany for this nazistic abomination toward the country that had sacrificed more than any other and contributed the most to DEFEATING Hitler's Nazis.

On April 4th, Germany's Berliner Zeitung headlined (as translated into English) "Secret handout: Baerbock doesn't want Russians at war commemoration: On the anniversary of the end of the war, the Foreign Office fears that Russians might attend the commemorative events." Baerbock" is Annalena Baerbock, Germany's Foreign Minister, who has repeatedly said that Germany is "at war with Russia," supposedly because Russia might invade Germany next. She is like George W. Bush who actually did invade Iraq while claiming that Iraq otherwise might invade America or America's allies -- Bush was a neoconservative, and Baerbock is a German version, but both Bush and Baerbock are fascist-racist-supremacist-imperialists, or ideological nazis, like also Israel's Netanyahu is. Unlike Hitler's Nazi Party, which hated both Jews and "Slavs" (such as Russians and Belarussians, today's fascist-racist-supremacist-imperialists hate ONLY Russians. Their article reported:

The hard line is justified by the "foreseeable" instrumentalization of the commemoration by official representatives of the Russian or Belarusian embassies. In its letter, the Foreign Ministry warns against "propaganda, disinformation, and revisionist historical distortion." The Foreign Office writes: "At the same time, it is to be expected that Russia (together with Belarus) will instrumentalize the World War II commemoration and improperly link it to its war of aggression against Ukraine." According to the Foreign Ministry in Berlin, Moscow and Minsk would appropriate the upcoming commemorations in Seelow, Altlandsberg, or Treptower Park. In the internal document, the Foreign Office refers only in one sentence to the need to appropriately honor the victims from Russia and Belarus.

The Foreign Office informed the Berliner Zeitung that the newspaper's questions were being "reviewed." No responses had been received by the time this issue went to press. ...

However, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Belarusian Embassy in Berlin, Andrei Shuplyak, confirmed an explicit disinvitation to the Berliner Zeitung. At the end of March this year, the Minsk mission in Germany, located in the immediate vicinity of the Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park, received a letter from the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation. According to the letter, the foundation's director, Jens-Christian Wagner, made the decision that Belarusian representatives were not welcome at commemorative events in Thuringia in the coming weeks. The Belarusian Embassy had no knowledge of the information provided by the Foreign Office.

In Belarus, the exclusion has caused outrage. "We strongly condemn the refusal of the management of the German Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorial Foundation to allow Belarusian diplomats to participate in the commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of these concentration camps," reads an X-post from the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

"There is no justification for the German foundation's cynical actions against a country where one in three people died in the war and where there is not a single family unaffected by the war. Unfortunately, such actions by the foundation are in line with the policies of certain political forces in the West that seek to change history and justify German National Socialism," the Minsk Foreign Ministry said. "This decision is a continuation of the policy of dividing people based on their nationality."

During World War II, Belarus (then the Byelorussian SSR) suffered the highest percentage of all Soviet republics under German occupation. An estimated 2.2 to 2.5 million Soviet Belarusians were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators. Belarus lost more of its population in percentage terms than any other European state -- approximately 25 to 30 percent.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, several Brandenburg district administrators are wondering why descendants of the Red Army, who liberated Germany from Nazi terror in 1945, are being punished. "On the one hand, we maintain hundreds of Soviet graves, but on the other hand, we are not allowed to invite the descendants of the dead," one district administrator describes the grotesque situation. A mayor of a Brandenburg town, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the Berliner Zeitung that video conferences on the topic were held at the end of March. One of the key players is said to have been Michael Nowak, the current chargé d'affaires of the German Embassy in Minsk .

Last days of the war: Tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers died in Brandenburg

In the coming weeks, many places in Berlin and Brandenburg will commemorate the end of the Second World War 80 years ago. Decisive battles against Hitler's Germany took place primarily outside Berlin's gates. In an unprecedented sacrifice, tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers died on Brandenburg soil in the final weeks of the war alone - a fact often overlooked today. Among the Soviet victims were Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Azerbaijanis, Armenians, Georgians, Tatars, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, and a multitude of other ethnic groups and peoples of the Soviet Union. ...

Even if district administrators or mayors maintain personal contacts with Russian or Belarusian diplomats, official invitations to municipal commemorative events are taboo according to the Federal Foreign Office's guidelines.

The expected incoming new German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has announced that under him, Germany's economy will go onto a war-footing, so as to repel a Russian invasion.
