ONLY A HANDFUL WERE EVER SEEN AGAIN.
When FDR died and Truman took over, he did NOTHING to rescue our betrayed troops.
IN A TOP SECRET AGREEMENT AT YALTA, CHURCHILL, FDR AND STALIN MADE A DEAL THAT IS STILL CLASSIFIED IN ALL THOSE NATIONS AS "TOP SECRET" TODAY...70 YEARS AFTER THEIR WAR CRIMES, 30 YEARS AFTER THE BETRAYAL WAS DISCLOSED.
THE LEADERS LIED AND HID THEIR CRIMES FOR DECADES.When FDR died and Truman took over, he did NOTHING to rescue our betrayed troops.
That would have exposed what was done by FDR.
GENOCIDE SO TERRIBLE IT WAS COMPLETELY HIDDEN FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS AND IS STILL CLASSIFIED "TOP SECRET" TODAY BY ALL NATIONS INVOLVED.
Operation Keelhaul was a forced repatriation of former Soviet Armed Forces POWs of Germany to the Soviet Union, carried out in Northern Italy by British and American forces between 14 August 1946 and 9 May 1947.
Also caught up in this top secret operation were some 5 million innocent civilians, some who were Christian ethnic groups opposed to communist rule, who had fled Russia and other communist nations at the outset of the war.
Allied armies, especially England’s and America's, assisted the Russian Red Army to ethnically cleanse 5,115,709 Eastern Europeans during population transfers under the top secret Yalta Agreement of February 1945.
The top signature on the British and American sponsored holocaust was that of unelected British premier Winston Spencer Churchill. His signature was followed by that of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The last signature on this hellish document is that of Josef Stalin, one of the most notorious mass killers in history.
Of the on-going removal of millions of people collected from 20 or more nations, one hapless ethnic group was that of the Cossack.
Once a mighty ethno-race, the Cossack people have since been reduced to something similar to the scattered, devastated tribes of Native Americans.
THE COMMANDING GENERALS OF EACH NATION WERE CHARGED TO CARRY OUT 'KEELHAUL' AND THEY DID.
ONE GENERAL CONDEMNED THE ENTIRE THING...GEORGE S. PATTON. HE WAS WILLING TO MARCH ON RUSSIA, OR QUIT THE MILITARY THAT HE LOVED AND BLOW THE WHISTLE ON THE WHOLE SHAM, BUT THEN, SUDDENLY, HE WAS DEAD OF A VERY MYSTERIOUS, UNINVESTIGATED AUTO ACCIDENT.

REPORT: CAPTIVE NATIONS COMMITTEE, INC.
“In the Communist newspaper Pravda of September 7, 1945, (serial number 214 9935) Russian General Golekov thanked his Western allies for returning the many men, women and children who had fled their Russian occupied homelands (previously independent nations). The return of these human beings to what was known as The Red Hell was carried out in the course of an atrocity called ‘Operation Keelhaul.’
‘In a period of about three months, May 25 to September 7, 1945, a total of 2,229,552 people from Yalta-surrendered nations were delivered to the Red Army.
England took the lead in the deportation of millions of civilians until 1947. By then, 5,115,709 Europeans, mostly civilians had been rounded up by the Allies and sent to the Soviet Union and to certain death. ~ [Cossack National Liberation Movement, Major General Nicholas G. Nazerenko, Retired: National President. Blauvelt, New York. The U.S.]
As the tragedy can neither be disclaimed nor explained, details of Operation Keelhaul and numerous other acts of genocide committed by the Allies have been removed from the public domain.
Patton made reference to "EISENHOWER's DEATH CAMPS", referring, most likely to the secret orders by Ike to not feed or shelter German POWs?
The untold story of “Eisenhower’s Rhine Meadows Death Camps – A Deliberate Policy of Extermination” of the Surrendered German forces by the Allies, in post-war Germany ('Rheinwiesenlager') has been documented, but Ike was never charged by anyone for anything.
WHAT IF PATTON HAD BLOWN THE WHISTLE ON THAT BACK IN 1945 BEFORE HE DIED?
WOULD AMERICA HAVE ELECTED IKE?
In August 1944 Dwight D. Eisenhower came up with the Morgenthau Plan to inflict collective punishment upon the German people following the end of the Second World War.
This was, basically, a plan to starve millions of Germans, mostly citizens, to death.
Although the plan was officially cancelled, it was in fact implemented. Between 1945 and 1953 it is estimated between 9 to 15 million ethnic Germans died, mainly civilians.
Dissident authors like Nikolai Tolstoy and Nicholas Bethell are subject to the same isolation as that suffered by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the Soviet Union, all because they accused top military and government officials of war crimes.
In one incident of many, in June 1945, 50,000 refugees, mainly Cossacks surrendered themselves to the British Armed Forces in southern Austria.
In outright defiance of international law, even that of the deplorable Yalta Agreements, Britain acted quickly and illegally.
Tens of thousands of civilians and their children were hunted down, shot or captured by British soldiers assisted by units of the Soviet terror police, the NKVD...and by American military men like General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Left to right: Generals Montgomery, Eisenhower, Zhukov and de Gaulle
All betrayed their own troops and nations in Operation Keelhaul.
The excuse was that the Soviets had custody of tens to hundreds of thousands of American and British POWs they claimed to have "rescued" from German prison camps.
All were in Soviet hands, with Stalin setting terms for their repatriation to their home countries.
Stalin made a deal to return all Allied POWs to their countries of origin IF the Allies would help round up dissidents who had fled Russia and her satellite states during the war.
HE LIED.
Eisenhower and other top generals, FDR, Churchill and the Brits' military brass all knew he was lying, knew better than to trust him, but once the deed was done, secretly agreed upon at Yalta, and our American POWs were NOT returned but were taken to labor camps in Russia or parted out to Red China or North Korea and disappeared, the whole sordid thing had to be covered up, hushed, hidden for decades.

Eisenhower's political aspirations would have been ruined had Americans known that perhaps more than 100,000 american soldiers had been abandoned to Russia to do with as they pleased.
Rather than being welcomed home as a hero, Eisenhower would have been met by anxious, angry Americans who wanted their missing sons, brothers, husbands, fathers back from the communists.
They would have damned him for abandoning them to certain death.
The communist-leaning FDR wasn't ready to cede his incredible power and his successor Truman was as determined as FDR to keep the whole thing secret from the American public.
Both their political careers and FDR's "legacy" would have been obliterated. We might have seen an immediate World War 3 to get those men back.
America would have been outraged.
ONLY ONE U.S. GENERAL HAD SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT WE SHOULD MARCH ON RUSSIA, THAT EISENHOWER'S MISHANDLING OF THE WAR HAD COST TOO MANY AMERICAN LIVES, THAT FDR SHOULD NEVER HAVE MADE A PACT WITH STALIN.
THAT GENERAL WAS GEORGE S. PATTON, Jr.
HE SAID AMERICANS NEEDED TO KNOW A FEW SECRETS THAT HE KNEW.
HE HAD TOLD A FEW CLOSE MILITARY FRIENDS AND HIS WIFE AND HAD WRITTEN IN HIS PERSONAL DIARY THAT THOSE WERE HIS PLANS.
AND THEN, SUDDENLY, HE WAS DEAD, FOLLOWING AN UNINVESTIGATED, VERY STRANGE "ACCIDENT" THAT LEFT NO ONE INJURED BUT HIM, AN ACCIDENT HE WAS SLOWLY RECOVERING FROM, AN ACCIDENT AFTER WHICH THOSE INVOLVED SORT OF "DISAPPEARED" FOR YEARS, WITH NOT EVEN THE MAN WHO CAUSED THE ACCIDENT CHARGED, ALTHOUGH THAT MAN WAS DRIVING A STOLEN MILITARY VEHICLE AND WAS A KNOWN THIEF.
AFTER PATTON'S DEATH, NO AUTOPSY WAS PERFORMED, AND ALTHOUGH HIS WIFE WANTED TO BRING HIM BACK TO THE U.S. FOR BURIAL, SHE WAS CONVINCED TO LET HIM BE BURIED IN EUROPE.
AN AMERICAN MEMBER OF THE OSS, PRECURSOR TO THE CIA, DOUGLAS BAZATA HAS STATED SEVERAL TIMES, PUBLICLY, THAT HE WAS TOLD TO ASSASSINATE PATTON AND THAT, WHEN HE FAILED, THE TASK WAS ASSIGNED TO THE RUSSIAN SECRET POLICE, THE SAME 'NKVD ' INVOLVED IN THE CAPTURE OF ALL THOSE INNOCENTS WHO WERE MURDERED BY OPERATION KEELHAUL.
ANOTHER MILITARY MAN, AIDE TO EISENHOWER, BERT ROOSEN, HAS STATED THAT HE HEARD IKE SAY AFTER AN ARGUMENT WITH PATTON THAT THEY HAD TO GET RID OF PATTON AND HEARD ANOTHER TOP BRASS SAY THAT HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT.
STILL NO INVESTIGATION, TO THIS DAY...NONE.
Three volumes of records, entitled "Forcible Repatriation of Displaced Soviet Citizens-Operation Keelhaul," were classified Top Secret by the U.S. Army on September 18, 1948, and bear the secret file number 383.7-14.1.
Americans would have never known about the secret Patton spoke about if not for an investigative journalist named Epstein.
By Julius Epstein
New York Times
Dec. 18, 1970
"Doing research on forced repatriation. of anti‐Communist prisoners of war and displaced persons during and after World War II, I discovered early in 1954 in the Army's Historical Records. Branch in Alexandria, Va., an index card marked “Forcible Repatriation of Displaced Soviet Citizens— Operation Keelhaul‐383‐7‐14.”
When I asked for the dossier, I was told that it was Top Secret and that the index card should not be in a public catalogue. It was immediately removed. Since then, I have tried to have the “Operation Keelhaul” files declassified and released.
What does “keelhaul” mean? According to Webster, Second Edition, “keelhaul” means: “To haul under the keel of a ship, either athwart-ships or from bow to stern by ropes attached to the yardarms on each side. It was formerly a punishment in the Dutch and British Navies and a method of torture used by pirates.” The Army chose “Operation Keelhaul” as the code‐name for a collection of documents dealing with the forcible repatriation of millions of anti‐Communists to Stalin's Soviet Union.
Through my study I became convinced that forced repatriation, as carried out by the American and British military authorities, was a violation of the Geneva Convention of 1929.
That forced repatriation of anti Communists to Stalin's slave labor camps was in violation of international law as well as in violation of the American tradition of asylum for political exiles can be documented by statements made by President Eisenhower, General Marshall, Dean Acheson and many others.
To give just one example: When the North Koreans demanded forced repatriation of North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war, Acheson said in his speech before the United Nations Oct. 24, 1954: “It was quite unthinkable to the United Nations Command that it should use force to drive into the hands of the Communists, people who would be resisting that effort by force. Finally, they say that the Geneva Convention and international practice require this forcible repatriation. We, on the other hand, have said that we have lived up to the humanitarian principles of the Geneva Convention.”
Soon after the “Freedom of Information Act” went into force on July 4, 1967, I filed a lawsuit against Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor for release of “Operation Keelhaul.”
Congressman John E. Moss declared in sworn affidavit that it was the intent of Congress to give the courts the “broadest latitude” in examining secret documents—in camera—in order to find out whether they have been properly classified.
If the judge finds that disclosure would not endanger foreign policy or national defense, he has the duty to enjoin the government agency from withholding the documents. Although it was clear that the Keelhaul documents could never endanger American foreign policy or national security, the courts found that they had not the power to subpoena the documents and that classification was “appropriate.” How they could decide that classification of ‘about 300 documents was appropriate without having seen a single one, is hard to explain.
The Supreme Court denied my petition. for a writ of certiorari. The only Justice in favor of granting certiorari was Justice Douglas. Since the courts declared the “Freedom of Information Act” a dead letter, Congress will have to amend the act in order to revive it.
On Oct. 22, 1970, the White House informed me that President Nixon has removed the main obstacle for declassification of the Keelhaul files.
The letter states: “The U.S. Government has absolutely no objections (based on the contents of the files) to the declassification and release of the ‘Operation Keelhaul’ files. However, given the joint origin of the documents, British concurrence is necessary before they can be released and this concurrence has not been received. Thus, we have no alternative but to deny your request.”
Since the Keelhaul files contain many purely American documents, classified by American military authorities, I hope that I shall still succeed in persuading the Administration that these American documents should be released.
Since the Keelhaul files contain many purely American documents, classified by American military authorities, I hope that I shall still succeed in persuading the Administration that these American documents should be released.
If this should finally be denied, it would amount to the admission that a foreign government has still the power to prevent the American people from learning their own history based on American evidence."
[Times note: Julius Epstein is a scholar working at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University]
Operation Keelhaul is significant for two reasons. [Times note: Julius Epstein is a scholar working at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University]
First, it represents an instructive case study of the fantastic power that even a supposedly democratic state can ruthlessly wield during wartime. Not only were the Allied governments able to perpetrate the crime, but afterwards, they were able to impose what Harry Elmer Barnes has appropriately called an "historical blackout" so effective that it lasted for nearly '30 years.
Secondly, it is a chilling comment on the motives of those who ran the U.S. Government at the time and, by implication, on those who run it now. It is fashionable, even among libertarians, to laugh off' explanations which ascribe evil and deceitful (as opposed to well-meaning but misguided) motives to our political masters in Washington as "conspiracy theory. "
However, no one has yet produced a satisfactory explanation of how Operation Keelhaul resulted from misguided idealism or liberal blindness, It seems, at least to me, that any explanation that falls short of including clandestine Soviet-American collusion at some level is obviously inadequate.
Be that as it may, it is interesting in conclusion to observe that the Soviets do not share the U.S. Government's reticence about publicizing Keelhaul.
When the U.S.S. R. Government released several hundred survivors of forced repatriation in 1955-after 10 years in Siberian slave-labor camps, a Russian newspaper carried the following: "'We have let "them" out [referring to the old Cossack emigres] and we have forgiven "our own" [referring to the Vlasov soldiers] . Whether they were Vlasov men or prisoners of war who did not want to return to the mother· land does not matter 'now. All their sins have been forgiven . . But the English and American bayonets, truncheons, machine guns and tanks used against them will never be forgotten.'"
Field Marshal Harold Alexander, by order of Harold Macmillan, Churchill's "resident minister" for the Mediterranean, turned over all the 70,000 or so ex-Soviet Cossacks, ex-Yugoslavs who had fought against the Russians by joining the Nazi army, most of whom had been placed in Allied POW camps when the Allies conquered Germany, and an estimated 11,000 women and children in order to secure the return of British prisoners liberated from German POW camps by both Russia and Yugoslavia.
THAT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE AMERICAN AND OTHER ALLIED PRISONERS IN GERMAN CONCENTRATION/POW CAMPS THAT THE RUSSIANS "LIBERATED".
A SHAEF [Supreme Headquarters of the Allied European Forces] PRISONER OF WAR ACCOUNTING DONE IN MARCH, 1945, PUT THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS HELD AS POWs BY THE GERMANS AT 123,507.
WAS IT ONLY 20,000 THAT AMERICA ALLOWED RUSSIA TO KEEP AND REMOVE TO THE SOVIET UNION?
ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER WHO MADE IT OUT OF A RUSSIAN GULAG HAS STATED:
"I WAS PREPARED TO FIGHT, TO BE WOUNDED, TO BE CAPTURED, EVEN TO DIE, BUT I WAS NOT PREPARED TO BE ABANDONED."
["AMERICA'S ABANDONED SONS", PAGE 300, ROBERT S. MILLER AUTHOR]
Approximately 1.5 million Jews served in the regular Allied militaries during World War II.
Approximately 550,000 American Jews served in the various branches of the United States armed services. Roughly 52,000 received U.S. military awards.
Another 500,000 served in the Red Army, and more than 160,000 earned citations, with over 150 receiving the Hero of the Soviet Union award.
Some 100,000 Jews served in the Polish Army during the German invasion, and thousands served in the Free Polish Forces, including about 10,000 in Anders' Army.
Over 60,000 Jews served in the British Armed Forces (excluding dominion or colonial personnel), including 14,000 in the Royal Air Force and 15,000 in the Royal Navy.
About 30,000 Jews from what is now Israel also served in the British military.

Germans were prosecuted at Nuremberg for similar crimes but control of the news ensured that Eisenhower, and those under his command who took part in this outrage, the British counterparts, the Russians, NONE were ever even officially accused of these heinous crimes.
This entire "operation" was rolled up and tucked away by each government involved, perhaps for all time.
The ALLIES ruthlessly carried out 'Operation Keelhaul', deporting innocent refugees from eastern Europe into Stalin's clutches, sacrificing their own military men to the Russian's lies and twisted whim.
WOULD PATTON HAVE REVEALED THIS?
WHAT IF HE HAD?
Few realize that Patton was deeply anti-Semitic, that he preferred the Germans over the Russians.
In a letter to his wife, September 14, 1945, he said: “I am frankly opposed to this war criminal stuff. It is not cricket and is Semitic. I am also opposed to sending POW’s to work as slaves in foreign lands (i.e., the Soviet Union’s Gulags), where many will be starved to death.“
[ISN'T THAT WHAT "KEELHAUL" DID?]
Despite his disagreement with official policy, Patton followed the rules laid down by Morgenthau and others back in Washington as closely as his conscience would allow, but he tried to moderate the effect, and this brought him into increasing conflict with Eisenhower and the other politically ambitious generals. In another letter to his wife, he commented: “I have been at Frankfurt for a civil government conference. If what we are doing (to the Germans) is ‘Liberty, then give me death.’ I can’t see how Americans can sink so low. It is Semitic, and I am sure of it.“
"There is simply no doubt that this "great American hero" was also a vile and crude anti-Semite who, in letters home to his wife and in personal diary entries, was blunt about his feelings regarding Jews. More important, his actions reflected those views.
In his September 15, 1945 diary entry:
"Evidently the virus started by [FDR’s treasury secretary Henry] Morgenthau and [financier and presidential adviser Bernard] Baruch of a Semitic revenge against all Germans is still working…. Harrison and his ilk believe that the Displaced Person is a human being, which he is not, and this applies particularly to the Jews, who are lower than animals.
He went on to complain that the Jews had “no sense of human relationships” and lived in filth like “lazy locusts.” He wrote that “I know the expression ‘lost tribes of Israel’ applied to the tribes which disappeared – not to the tribe of Judah from which the current sons of bitches are descended. However, it is my personal opinion that this too is a lost tribe – lost to all decency.”
BUT HE WANTED TO FIGHT THE RUSSIANS, STOP COMMUNISM, "LIBERATE" THE COMMUNIST COUNTRIES STALIN HAD MADE 'SATELLITE' NATIONS OF.
'Operation Unthinkable' was the name given to two related possible future war plans by the British Chiefs of Staff against the Soviet Union in 1945. The plans were never approved or implemented. The creation of the plans was ordered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in May 1945 and developed by the British Armed Forces' Joint Planning Staff in May 1945 at the end of World War II in Europ
The initial primary goal of the operation was declared as "to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire. Even though 'the will' of these two countries may be defined as no more than a square deal for Poland, that does not necessarily limit the military commitment".
'Operation Dropshot' was the United States Department of Defense code name for a contingency plan for a possible preemptive nuclear and conventional war with the Soviet Union and its allies in order to counter the anticipated Soviet takeover of Western Europe, the Near East and parts of Eastern Asia.
The plan was prepared in 1949 during the early stages of the Cold War and declassified in 1977.
Dropshot included mission profiles that would have used 300 nuclear bombs and 29,000 high-explosive bombs on 200 targets in 100 cities and towns to wipe out 85 percent of the Soviet Union's industrial potential at a single stroke.

In the terrible summer of 1945, the U.S. Army had just completed the destruction of Europe and had set up a government of military occupation amid the ruins to rule the starving Germans and deal out victors' justice to the vanquished.
General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army, became military governor of the greater portion of the American occupation zone of Germany.
It was only in the final days of the war and during his tenure as military governor of Germany -- after he had gotten to know both the Germans and America's "gallant Soviet allies" -- that Patton's understanding of the true situation grew and his opinions changed. In his diary and in many letters to his family, friends, various military colleagues, and government officials, he expressed his new understanding and his apprehensions for the future.
On May 7, 1945, just before the German capitulation, Patton had a conference in Austria with U.S. Secretary of War Robert Patterson.
On May 7, 1945, just before the German capitulation, Patton had a conference in Austria with U.S. Secretary of War Robert Patterson.
Patton was gravely concerned over the Soviet failure to respect the demarcation lines separating the Soviet and American occupation zones. He was also alarmed by plans in Washington for the immediate partial demobilization of the U.S. Army.
Patton said to Patterson:
"Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened, and present a picture of force and strength to the Red Army. This is the only language they understand and respect."
Patterson replied, "Oh, George, you have been so close to this thing so long, you have lost sight of the big picture."
Patton rejoined: "I understand the situation. Their (the Soviet) supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a serious action such as I could put to them. They have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof -- that's their supply system. They could probably maintain themselves in the type of fighting I could give them for five days. After that it would make no difference how many million men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could give it to you. They lived on the land coming down. There is insufficient left for them to maintain themselves going back. Let's not give them time to build up their supplies. If we do, then . . . we have had a victory over the Germans and disarmed them, but we have failed in the liberation of Europe; we have lost the war!"
On May 18 Patton noted in his diary:
On May 18 Patton noted in his diary:
"In my opinion, the American Army as it now exists could beat the Russians with the greatest of ease, because, while the Russians have good infantry, they are lacking in artillery, air, tanks, and in the knowledge of the use of the combined arms, whereas we excel in all three of these.
If it should be necessary to fight the Russians, the sooner we do it the better."
If it should be necessary to fight the Russians, the sooner we do it the better."
Two days later he repeated his concern when he wrote his wife: "If we have to fight them, now is the time. From now on we will get weaker and they stronger."
SOON AFTER, HE DIED DURING RECOVERY FROM THAT STRANGE ACCIDENT.
At this moment of reflection on the problems in the resolution to the Second World War, there are victims who are politically palatable, and others who are conveniently forgotten.
Back in 2009, I read the story of one Cossack family who escaped the aftermath of the secret Yalta agreements, Operation Keelaul, and it haunts me still.
Galena Tkacenko showed the author, William Dritschilo, where a wooden footbridge once crossed the River Drau. Tkacenko was 13 years old when her family escaped the massacre at Lienz by crossing the bridge and hiding in the woods. Others, who were not so lucky, jumped off the bridge and drowned.
Theirs is just one of MILLIONS of such instances of human suffering, betrayal and fear.

Of all this, the public in the democracies knew nothing.
For three decades the subject remained a closely guarded secret.
Western eyewitnesses were obliged by official policy to keep silent.
A few journalists knew that some handing over was taking place, but not its scale.
But Alexander Solzhenitsyn had met some of the surviving Russians in Soviet prison camps and learned about their history. His account of their fate and that of their leader, General Vlasov, which appeared in the first volume of The Gulag Archipelago, published in 1973 - itself a sensation - was the first the general public in the west heard of the subject and the phenomenon, as Solzhenitsyn put it, of so many young Russians joining in a war against their own Fatherland. "
My personal interest in this was piqued when, about age 18, I listened to my dad tell a story of an Appalachian family who had gotten word that their kin who had been taken prisoner by the Germans was found alive in a Nazi POW camp and would be coming home.
HE NEVER ARRIVED AND ALL THEIR ATTEMPTS TO FIND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM WERE MET WITH DENIALS THAT HE WAS EVER LISTED AS FOUND ALIVE.

ONCE DAD LEARNED OF KEELHAUL, HE ASSUMED "DANIEL" DIED IN RUSSIA.
HOW MANY MORE DID?
WHY HAS NO ONE MADE IT A NUMBER ONE HIGH PRIORITY TO FIND OUT?
HOW CAN THERE NOT BE TRIALS FOR THESE CRIMES, EVEN IF ALL WHO CARRIED OUT KEELHAUL ARE DEAD NOW?
IF WE SIMPLY LET IT GO, WON'T IT JUST HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN?
HASN'T IT ALREADY HAPPENED AGAIN?
LOOK AT THE 12,000 IRAQUI SOLDIERS BURIED ALIVE BY A U.S. TANK BRIGADE UNDER ORDERS FROM COLONEL LON MAGGART.
THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED THAT "INCIDENT":
September 15, 1991
"Army officials said the Iraqi soldiers who died remained in their trenches as plow-equipped tanks dumped tons of earth and sand onto them, filling the trenches to insure that they could not be used as cover from which to fire on allied units that were poised to pour through the gaps. Avoiding Hand-to-Hand Combat
The Army said it knew the operation would kill Iraqis who did not surrender or otherwise get out of the way, but said the tactic spared the lives of American soldiers who would have had to leave the safety of their armored vehicles and fight Iraqi troops hand to hand in the trenches.
"People somehow have the notion that burying guys alive is nastier than blowing them up with hand grenades or sticking them in [the] gut with bayonets," said Col. Lon Maggart. "Well it's not."
Colonel Maggart, commander of one of two brigades that led assaults on a key line of Iraqi defenses, said in a telephone interview from Fort Riley, Kan., that between 80 and 250 Iraqis had been buried alive.

[HE LATER WOULD ADMIT TO "MAYBE 1,000"]
He said that the daytime breaching operation, including the ditch filling, had been completed in about three hours, and that the brigade had continued its advance after securing its breach zone, an area of roughly 35 square miles.
[NO, IT WAS MORE LIKE 70 MILES OF TRENCHES, 70 MILES, NOT 35, ACCORDING TO TESTIMONY OF SOLDIERS THERE AND A PHOTOJOURNALIST.]
ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST, SEPT. 13, 1991:
"In June, the Pentagon disclosed that U.S. forces had buried
corpses of more than 570 Iraqi soldiers.
U.S. officials acknowledged this was only a tiny fraction of
any credible estimate of the total number of Iraqis who had
probably been killed, but the Pentagon declined to reveal how
many Iraqis had been buried [alive] by other allied forces, including
British troops or Saudi "burial teams" operating under U.S.
and allied command. The Saudi government has also
declined to disclose a tally."
1991 massacre of thousands of fleeing Iraqi troops was part of U.S. 'total war'
BY Mike Buckingham, 8 Febuary 2003

On March 2, deep inside Iraq, a five-mile-long retreating column of Iraqis approached the causeway across Lake Hammar, near the Rumaila oil field west of Basra. They ran into the U.S. forces McCaffrey had deployed right across the line of retreat. McCaffrey ordered a devastating attack. The U.S. military forces sealed off the causeway with Apache attack helicopters and artillery fire, pinned the Iraqi column on the road, and pounded them for five hours with wave after wave of bomb, tank, artillery, and missile attacks.
At least 400 Iraqis were killed. Some 700 Iraqi tanks, armored cars, and trucks were destroyed.
IT WAS CALLED "THE HIGHWAY OF DEATH".
Among them was a bus with civilians and children that was hit by a rocket. No shots were fired at the U.S. forces, and there were no serious U.S. combat casualties.
No reporters were allowed in the area at the time. During the Gulf War no media representatives were permitted on the battlefields without military escorts.
The massacre of unresisting Iraqis and the deaths of children deeply disturbed many U.S. soldiers. One platoon sergeant remarked, 'We've blown away a busload of kids.'
An officer in the 124th Military Intelligence Battalion said a captured Iraqi tank commander asked his U.S. interrogators several times, 'Why are you killing us? All we were doing was going home.' "
YOU SEE THAT IT"S BEEN DONE AGAIN...AND AGAIN...AND AGAIN...WAR CRIMES, BUT NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
IT'S THE NEW "NORM".

Soviets held U.S. POWS after WWII Yeltsin aide says some Americans still live in Russia
New York Times News Service
THE BALTIMORE SUN
Nov. 12, 1991
"A high-ranking Russian official says that thousands of U.S. prisoners of war captured by the Germans had been transferred to the Soviet Union after World War II and that some were still living in Russia.
The official, Dmitri Volkogonov, a military adviser to President Boris N. Yeltsin of Russia, told a U.S. Senate committee yesterday that more than 22,000 U.S. soldiers had been taken to the Soviet Union from German prisoner-of-war camps.
The Russian official said most of the U.S. servicemen were returned to the United States shortly after the war, but that 119 U.S. citizens with Russian, Ukranian or Jewish names were kept behind.
In addition to those soldiers from World War II, Mr. Volkogonov said that 730 U.S. aviators, forced down over Soviet and Soviet-bloc territory during the Cold War, had been interned in Russian prison camps. Those men were also sent back to the United States."

Gulag Study Forces U.S. to Admit Unthinkable: MIAs Were Abandoned by U.S. Government
A recently released report by the Pentagon reveals, and confirms, what American Free Press, and populist, America-first publications have been reporting for nearly three decades.
American POWs and MIAs from World War II, the Korean War and the Cold War were sent to the USSR, where they were imprisoned.
Norman Case, executive secretary of the Pentagon’s Defense Prisoner of War and Missing Personnel Office’s Joint Commission Support Directorate, had this to say about the study’s findings:
“I’m not comfortable with any hard and fast numbers. Our job is to try to find these Americans or their remains and bring them home.”
Case continued: “We’ve been in business for 12 or 13 years. . . . We’ve kept these reports on the burner of unsolved issues.”
However, critics cynically note: Obviously, it was the back burner."
THE CIA RELEASED A FRAGMENT OF A DOCUMENT ON KNOWN SLAVE LABOR CAMPS IN THE USSR IN 1983, A "SANITIZED VERSION" OF THE ORIGINAL.
WE WILL LIKELY NEVER KNOW ALL OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN FAR WORSE THAN PERHAPS WE CAN IMAGINE.
THE POWERS THAT BE HERE IN THE USA SIMPLY EITHER GAVE UP ON GETTING OUR AMERICAN TROOPS BACK OR THEY BECAME PART OF THAT SECRET YALTA DEAL AND NO EFFORTS WERE MADE TO RESCUE THEM.
JUST AS I WON'T EVER FORGET 9/11, I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE WHO WERE "KEELHAULED".
DAMN THOSE RESPONSIBLE! DAMN THEM ALL!
A recently released report by the Pentagon reveals, and confirms, what American Free Press, and populist, America-first publications have been reporting for nearly three decades.
American POWs and MIAs from World War II, the Korean War and the Cold War were sent to the USSR, where they were imprisoned.
Called “The Gulag Study,” it concludes: “Americans including American servicemen, were imprisoned in the former Soviet Union.”
For all of those years, the U.S. government has had in its possession information that Americans were being held but did nothing to save them.
The National Alliance of Families, which is still fighting to get the U.S. government to determine the fate of these Americans, which might also include American servicemen from the Vietnam War, is furious.
Upon learning of “The Gulag Study” the alliance released this comment: “Volumes of documentation unearthed over the last 50 years by family members and researchers convinced us long ago,” (but) “official Pentagon policy dismissed not only our conclusions, but the conclusions of their own investigators.
