Still disappointed Nazis lost WWII?Is Chomsky still mad that the Berlin Wall fell?
Still whining about the failure of communism?
How the Nazis Won the War, by Noam Chomsky (Excerpted from Secrets, Lies, and Democracy)
"General Reinhard Gehlen was the head of German military intelligence on the eastern front.
"That’s where the real war crimes were.
"Now we’re talking about Auschwitz and other death camps.
"Gehlen and his network of spies and terrorists were taken over quickly by American intelligence and returned to essentially the same roles.
"If you look at the American army’s counterinsurgency literature (a lot of which is now declassified), it begins with an analysis of the German experience in Europe, written with the cooperation of Nazi officers.
"Everything is described from the point of view of the Nazis-which techniques for controlling resistance worked, which ones didn’t.
"With barely a change, that was transmuted into American counterinsurgency literature. (This is discussed at some length by Michael McClintock in Instruments of Statecraft, a very good book that I’ve never seen reviewed.)"
