CANNED KRAUT

By RALPH PETERS

November 6, 2003 -- GEN. Reinhard Guenzel, the
head of Germany´s Special Forces Command (KSK),
got the hobnailed boot on Tuesday. His mistake? He
expressed a bit too publicly the sort of
Jew-hating sentiment tens of millions of Germans
harbor privately.

In a letter to a vicious right-wing extremist who
sits in Germany´s parliament, the general praised
the claim that Jews bear at least as much blame
for the bloodshed of the Russian Revolution as
Germans do for the Holocaust.

Next, we´ll hear from Berlin how Jews planned the
Holocaust all along. Just as we hear that Israel
is the only terrorist state in the Middle East and
that Palestinian suicide bombers who butcher women
and children are freedom fighters.

Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder´s flacks have begun
their damage-control effort, insisting that the
general´s views are rare and isolated. Bull. I
lived in Germany for 10 years while serving in the
U.S. Army. I speak German. My family´s bloodlines
are half German. And because of all that, the
Germans among whom I lived assumed I shared their
bigotry and, eventually, spilled their guts.

It wasn´t pretty.

Of course, there are good Germans. Plenty of them.
But they live in Philadelphia, not Frankfurt. They
or their ancestors all left Germany by 1938. Those
who stayed didn´t just support Hitler - they loved
him and fought for him to the bitter end.

The whopping difference between the Allied
occupation of Germany and our occupation of Iraq
is that the overwhelming majority of Iraqis
welcomed their liberation. We had to force freedom
and democracy on the Germans at gunpoint.

They´ll never forgive us - no more than they´ll
forgive Jews for surviving the Holocaust, making a
success of Israel against all odds and enriching
the United States in virtually every field of
human endeavor.

And Germany? In the 19th and early 20th century,
German-speaking countries led the world in culture
and science. Then they killed or drove away their
Jews. The result? Germany´s greatest contributions
to world culture since 1945 have been Milli
Vanilli and Gummi Bears.

What about the charge that the terror in the wake
of the Russian Revolution was the work of Jews?
Like so many of the Big Lies "made in Germany,"
there´s a tiny grain of truth in it. Yes, Jewish
subjects of the Czar played a prominent role in
the Russian Revolution. Had I suffered as horribly
as Jews suffered under the Romanovs, I´d like to
think that I would have been a revolutionary, too.
