No, it is not your happy little pseudo-Bavarian tourist village in America. You won't find good beer
here, or busty barmaids, or even an oom-pah band. This "German Village" is found in the Utah
desert, and is what remains of a full-scale, six block replica of typical pre-war, working class housing
in Berlin. It is on a test site created by the Allied military during World War Two to develop weapons
of mass destruction for use against civilian targets in Germany. It was part of a larger five square mile
German/Japanese "doomtown" built in 1943. Despite their "successes" with their 1,000 bomber fire
raids against Cologne and Hamburg, the British were frustrated by their inability to ignite the same
type of firestorm in Berlin, so top Allied science advisors urged an emergency program of incendiary
experimentation on exact replicas of working-class housing.
Using forced labor from Utah state prison inmates, "German Village" was completed in 44 days and
it emulated the format of the "German" housing built in England for test destruction by the RAF at
Harmondsworth, England. It was commissioned by the chemical warfare corps of the US army
(Standard Oil) and created by Erich Mendelsohn, a German-born architect who moved to the US in
1941 and later became the darling of modernist architecture.
Mendelsohn had previously designed the The Einstein Tower in
Potsdam near Babelsberg Palace around 1920. Mendelsohn joined the
Dugway Proving Ground project, where napalm and poison gases were
developed and tested. His work, in conjunction with the authenticity
division of Hollywood RKO studio and along with other disgruntled
German "ex-pats", was designed with the sole intention of destroying
working-class districts of Berlin in conformance with genocidal Allied
plans beginning in 1943.
Duplicating the aging and specific gravity of older German construction,
after exhaustively researching roof area coverage critical to an
incendiary parameter of target neighborhoods in Berlin, the architects
and fire experts even simulated the effect Berlin rain might have on
combustibility. RKO duplicated the typical interiors and heavy furniture
of Berlin's working class households right down to their linen, bedding
and drapes. Wood similar to that used in Germany was even imported
from Russia.
Only a single block of the original is left today. Thus, the combined forces of Hollywood and the oil
industry, with their great financial resources, abetted the mass murder of thousands of German (and
Japanese) civilians.Dugway itself, historically shrouded in official secrecy, is more toxic than the
Nevada Nuclear Test Site after years of weapons testing. The results of such meticulous planning
are shown in photos. Berlin eventually succumbed and the civilians paid the dearest price.
Experimenting with the best methods of destruction for real German
cities, napalm (the same M-69 napalm which the USA dutifully supplied
to the RAF), gas, anthrax and incendiary bombs were all used against
the fake German Village,and it had to be rebuilt several times.
The real life results of the planning, left
"The bombing must be directed essentially against working class houses. Middle class houses have too much space around them, and so are bound to waste bombs."

On the surface, Churchill disagreed with the Morgenthau Plan, but Roosevelt suggested that
Morgenthau's Stalinist friends such as Harry Dexter White (who was exposed as a Soviet agent after
his death) continue to discuss it with Lord Cherwell, Churchill's personal assistant who was said to
have "an almost pathological hatred for Nazi Germany, and a medieval desire for revenge." Cherwell
was able to persuade Churchill to change his mind, and Churchill later stated that "At first I was
violently opposed to the idea. But the President and Mr. Morgenthau — from whom we had much to ask —
were so insistent that in the end we agreed to consider it" (Churchill, "The Tide of Victory", (London:
1954), pp. 138–139). Britain was then rewarded with a substantial sum of US money.
A Bad Dream that became Reality: The Genocidal Plans of Henry Morgenthau Jr.
|
Morgenthau's plan, if fully implemented, was calculated to exterminate approximately 20 million
Germans through expropriation of German land, de-industrialization and starvation after the war.
Even with its furtive partial implementation, it caused 15 million unnecessary German deaths, and
more later as a secondary result. Other than the Dictates of Versailles and St. Germain, which
inflicted collective guilt and collective punishment of all Germans, various other lesser known
genocide plans against Germany were hatched in the USA in the twentieth century.
The American counterpart to Churchill's adviser Frederick Lindemann was Franklin Roosevelt's close
friend and adviser, Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Like his German-hating father, Morgenthau's plan for the
"demilitarization" of Germany involved disarming the German Army and the people and destruction
of all "war material" including old war monuments. He suggested severe punishment for war crimes
(the definition of which would be determined by the victors), a total ban on any military uniforms or
any uniform of any quasi military organizations, including scouting, and a prohibition of parades
anywhere in Germany plus the disabling of all military bands and destruction of any military music.
All aircraft (including gliders), whether military or commercial, were to be confiscated for later
disposition and no German was to be permitted to operate or to help operate any aircraft, including
those owned by foreign interests. He wanted the policing of Germany and the civil administration in
Germany to be assumed with severity by the military forces of Germany's continental neighbors,
including Russian, French, Polish, Czech, Yugoslav, Norwegian, Dutch and Belgian soldiers.
Instead of restitution and reparation, he wanted all German resources given away to the victors. He
wanted his "New Germany" partitioned into harmless "pastoral" units. He envisioned using forced
German labor to rebuild the economies of her former enemies outside of Germany, and confiscation
of all German, including ethnic German, assets of any character whatsoever outside of Germany. He
did not want any of the victors to help rebuild Germany, but instead wished it to remain helpless to
break the will of the people. His new boundaries for Germany divided East Prussia and Silesia
between the U.S.S.R. and Poland. He wanted France to get the Saar and the adjacent territories
bounded by the Rhine and the Moselle Rivers, and he wished the Keil Canal and the Ruhr and
surrounding industrial areas to be internationalized and any surviving industrial equipment be
dismantled and sent to Allied Nations.
Roosevelt publicly shelved the genocidal Morgenthau plan after its exposure in the media caused a
shocked reaction, but its ideas permeated parts of the American administration and influenced
subsequent American and Allied planning, most notably: the concept of a revenge seeking War
Crimes trials at Nürnberg, the "re-education" programs with the ensuing censorship, the destruction
of German books and art and the further destruction of German cultural monuments, the use of
forced German labor outside of Germany for as long as possible and the redistribution of German
lands, especially in the East. The Morgenthau Plan further lurked in the shadows in the Joint Chiefs
of Staff Directive 1067 (April 1945 – July 1947) which explicitly prohibited U.S. Occupation
authorities from providing any economic or reconstruction assistance of any kind to the German
people, not even to maintain the current economic levels. U.S. Occupation efforts were to be focused
on denazification and the destruction of heavy industry war-production capability. To destroy future
German economy, a cap of about 25% of the prewar production level was put on German steel
production, and therefore steel plants were dismantled.
It also lurked in the shadows in its agreement with the Potsdam conference decision that the
occupation forces of all nations were obliged to ensure that German standards of living were lowered
to the level of its European neighbors with which it had been at war with, France in particular.
Germany was to be reduced to the standard of life it had known at the height of the Great depression
in 1932. This led to millions of unnecessary civilian deaths from starvation and disease in the first
couple of years after the war. Further, it lurked in the shadows in the first "level of industry" plan,
signed in 1946, which stated that German heavy industry was to be lowered to 50% of its 1938
levels. Only when the punishment to Germany economically harmed the Allies did it begin to wane.
Only when Germany's poverty held back the general European recovery, when the continued
scarcity of food and goods in Germany led to considerable expenses for the occupying powers, when
poverty and famine in Europe were not abating did a change of policy begin to take place. Henry
Morgenthau's murderous plans for the Germans aligned so closely with Stalin's that Roosevelt, in his
desire to be on good terms with Stalin, accepted and endorsed it. German POWs being paraded through

Note: If the present birthrate in Germany continues, their population will drop from 83 million to 38.5 million, not counting
possible emigration. By the end of the century it will be a 53% decline. Not only is the desire in modern Europe not to
have children, there is a fertility problem in Germany. This is ironically almost exactly the result which the genocidal plan
suggested by Roosevelt's closest advisor championed. Both Churchill and Roosevelt expressed agreement that Germans
should be sterilized to "prevent future war." Stalin simply decided to augment a "modest reduction in the German
population" using his own special methods..
Germany has had the lowest birth rate in Europe for some time. Official figures show that the number of births fell by a
further 2.8% in 2,005 while the mortality rate rose by 1.5% compared with 2004. In 2005 it had 8.5 births per 1,000
inhabitants, compared with 12 in Britain, 12.7 in France and 15.2 in Ireland. The birth rate is exceptionally low in former
East Germany, where the city of Chemnitz is thought to have the lowest birth rate in the world. Austria also has one of the
lowest birthrates in the world today. The average Viennese mother has 1.3 children and the population is down to 1.6 million.
He urged that all equipment be removed from the mines and the mines closed. His plan called for the
closing of all German schools and universities until an Allied re-education program was in place to
brainwash the Germans, and all German radio stations and newspapers, magazines, weeklies, etc.
discontinued until "adequate controls" were established. He wanted all large estates broken up and
divided among the peasants communist style. This is almost exactly what took place after the war.


The 'Kaufman Plan' was set forth in a diabolical little book called
"Germany must Perish" which suggested the castration of all fertile
German men over 16 years of age and importing foreigners to Germany
to alter the ethnic base. It met with hearty endorsements by the US
media, left. The 'Hooton Plan' was drawn up by various intellectuals
at Harvard University and would have sentenced German men to a
lifetime of slavery abroad, while foreign men would be occupying
Germany in order to breed the "warlike genes" out of the Germans.

Roosevelt is quoted as saying that "We have got to be tough with
the Germany and I mean the German people not just the Nazis.
We either have to castrate the German people or you have got to
treat them in such a manner so they can't just go on reproducing
people who want to continue the way they have in the past." When
Stalin had proposed at the Tehran Conference in late1943 that at
least 50,000 and perhaps 100,000 German officers should be
executed, his idea found a warm reception from the Roosevelt
team. This is exactly what took place in the USSR after the war,
only it did not simply pertain to officers but to most POWs.
