in the old-timey tradition of "reversing reality and then pretending it's been suppressed by academia," we at Regnery are holding submissions for the front cover of The Politically Incorrect Guide to World War II. The art will probably have a big-nosed NKVD officer shooting one of the authors (the courageous David Irving), but we can change that if anyone has a better idea: at Regnery, we're all about facts--just not accurate ones. So, please contribute to our pool of "facts THEY don't want you to know" and "questions THEY don't want you to ask." Mayor Ishihara Shintaro will be taking questions later on C-SPAN 2, if they let him bring his sword collection into the studio.
DID YOU KNOW * by 1937, all Central European Jews could be considered agents of Britain? * that Japan was justified in its actions against European colonies, because they were fighting Communists, barbarian mainlanders, and effete European imperialists? * that the people of the Soviet Union really supported the liberators? * that the Sonderkommandos' targets were Bolsheviks, not Jews? * that Stalin was BAAAAAD? * that Austria, the Sudetenland, Danzig, and Belgium's Eupen district belonged by right of conquest and Wilson's own treaties to Germany? * that the so-called "occupation" greatly improved life in Poland? * that German conservatives saved Germany from becoming another Russia in 1919 and in 1933? * that Jews and socialists stabbed Germany in the back in 1918? * that Thälmann was a Ralph-Nader-like puppet in the employ of Moscow, and that Röhm was a homosexual? They had it coming! * that Hitler had the backing of moderates and industrialists, and therefore represented the most level-headed and the richest--and therefore most hard-working--sectors of Germany? * that Germany attacked France? Who couldn't agree with that?! * that the German Communists had street fighters, too--including future self-appointed "Chancellor" Willy Brandt? * that America saved Europe from Germany; the Eastern Front was only a sideshow: the high casualty figures are merely because Communists are incapable of using technology and are inefficient in everything. * that the "camps" were primarily for Stalinist subversives and race-traitor miscegenators? * that Japan and Chiang Kai-shek were united in fighting Communists, and so were justified in any extreme measures they may have taken? * that it was the moderates, not the radicals, that brought Japan into World War II, making it a just war? * that Germany has been a bulwark protecting the Holy West against Eastern barbarism since the Middle Ages? * that the Nazis were really socialists?
For Latin America, we're considering an alternate-history novella where Ortega and Castro invade with the help of Saddam, the frozen head of Stalin that ran the USSR until 1985, Baader-Meinhoff Spain's ETA, and Abu Nidal; Tip O'Neill welcomes them with open arms. Fortunately, the commissar-oppressed Central American Volk rise up and destroy the East German farm trucks keeping the regime afloat.
P.S., heavy :sarcasm:
All right everyone, jump right in with more suggestions! (This may be moved to "Bush/Conservatives" since this book is probably in the works after The P.I.G. to the 60s, which claims that hippies were authoritarian.)
