Hellstorm

---

The German Army suffered terribly

during the First World War.

And the German nation also suffered terribly,

especially after the war. The crippling sanctions

enacted by the victors with the Treaty of

Versailles threw the country into serious depression.

There was chaos in the

streets and anarchy in the air.

Communists seized many

cities, including Berlin.

While the great wealth of the nation was

bled away by outrageous war reparations,

or sucked out by unscrupulous politicians,

the average German was impoverished.

Inflation and unemployment soon followed and quickly

destroyed all hope, all confidence, all morality.

German cities were awash in pornography and

prostitution with even starving children being bought

and sold like sex toys. Crime was rampant;

drunkenness and drug addiction were widespread;

suicide rates soared; the

situation seemed hopeless.

And then, things

changed... dramatically.

Soon after the National Socialists were

elected, the German economy sprang to life.

Unemployment was erased. Building boomed. Great

projects began. Confidence burst to life anew.

After years of hunger,

hardship, shame, and degradation,

Germany became a happy,

hopeful nation again.

Germany's transformation from squalor and

misery to a world super power was so incredible

that the 1938 Time Magazine named

Adolf Hitler "Man of the Year."

To many it seemed as if a new cultural, economic, and

political renaissance for all of Europe was at hand.

But others, throughout the world -

envious, powerful, but above all, fearful -

now worked night and day

to take Germany down....

The Second World War was the most deadly and

destructive war in history. For six long years

the unequal struggle pitting Germany against

the world continued, with first one side,

then the other on top. But at last,

overwhelmed, Germany was once more defeated.

This time, however, the Reich was to be punished

not with mere reparations... nor loss of land...

nor with simple decadence and despair; no,

on this occasion Germany was to be subjected

to pure hatred; hatred of the most

vicious, evil and depraved kind imaginable.

Millions upon millions of Germans, many of whom

had nothing to do with the war, were systematically

raped, tortured, slaughtered, and all in the

most sadistic and sickening ways imaginable.

What happened to Germany and its people during

and after World War II has remained the darkest

and best-kept secret

in world history...

until now.

This film is based upon the book by

author and historian, Thomas Goodrich.

Over the past thirty years Goodrich has written

about a number of controversial subjects -

the American Civil War, Abraham

Lincoln, the American Indian wars -

but because World War Two remains

to this very day a pressing issue,

the author feels this is by far

his most urgent and timely book.

Thomas Goodrich:
This is the story of the

crimes that were committed against Germany

during and after World War Two. The words you

will hear are those of the victims themselves and

witnesses to the atrocities. There will be

no attempt here to present the viewpoint of

the "other side." Anyone seeking the victor's

version of World War II, need only watch any

Hollywood movie, turn on the TV to any World

War II documentary, or visit any public library.

This film, like the book it is based upon,

does not concern itself with what the Germans

allegedly "did to the world" during the so

- called "Good War." No.

The focus here is instead on what the world did to

the Germans. The crimes detailed herein are so vicious,

so massive, and so evil, that there are no words

in the English language to accurately describe them.

These are crimes that have been buried by

the victors under a mountain of propaganda

and lies for now over 70 years.

This film is dedicated not only to the voiceless

victims of the world's worst war, but also

to future generations.

Our hope is, that if there are enough good people

in the world, are willing to listen and learn

what actually occurred to these innocent victims

- men, women, the old, young, the sick, animals -

then they some day soon

will rise up as one,

and with a united voice demand that

nothing like this ever happens again,

to anyone, anywhere.

TERROR BOMBING:

During World War Two, Germany was subjected

to an unrelenting assault from the sky.

The Americans and British called it "carpet-bombing",

"saturation-bombing", or "unrestricted-bombing".

However, the German women and children who

suffered through this nightmare called it

by a simpler, more accurate

name - "Terror-Bombing."

The terror campaign was no accident. It was

the secret plan of British Prime Minister

Winston Churchill and Air Chief Marshal

Arthur Harris to unleash the full power of the

Royal Air Force against German civilians; to

inflict as much damage, to destroy as many homes,

and to kill as many men,

women and children as possible.

Winston Churchill: German cities will be

subjected to an ordeal the like of which

has never been experienced by a country

in continuity, severity or magnitude.

To achieve this end there are no lengths

of violence to which we will not go.

Churchills violence was on full display

during the night of July 24, 1943.

To the residents of Hamburg - a city of over

one million souls - the raid seemed initially

like a standard bombing run. But soon, hundreds
