Chandra Bose and his Collaboration with Fascism!

‘Another attack is being made on nationalism from the point of view of international Labour or international Communism. This attack is not only ill-advised but unconsciously serves the interests of our alien rulers. It would be clear to the man in the street that before we can endeavour to reconstruct Indian society on a new basis, whether socialistic or otherwise, we should first secure the right to shape our own destiny. As long as India lies prostrate at the feet of Britain, that right will be denied us. It is, therefore, the paramount duty not only of nationalists but anti-nationalistic Communists to bring about the political emancipation of India as early as possible,’

Alexander Werth: How Churchill Denied the Liberation of Majdanek Extermination Camp (Eastern Poland) – [11.8.1944]! (27.1.2025)

The ‘official’ date for the ‘Liberation’ of Majdanek is August 11th, 1944 – although the Soviet Red Army discovered the place as early as July 23rd, 1944. The BBC – following directives from Churchill – refused to publish Alexander Werth’s report about Majdanek Extermination Camp (to give it its proper name) the first of its kind, and was still dragging its feet upon this issue of Nazi German atrocities weeks later with the ‘Liberation’ of Auschwitz. It was only with the discovery of similar camps in the West by British and US force that Churchill relented and the BBC issued its reports. A rightwing Polish government in exile was living a life of luxury (whilst the British people suffered), whilst Churchill became ever more perplexed by a growing Socialist movement in and around Poland. Indeed, Churchill’s communications with Stalin on the ‘Liberation’ of Warsaw are not only childish, but also ‘racist’ in nature, and very much set the tone for the Cold War he would help to establish a few years later.
