One of the Last Photographs of Adolf Hitler - March 1945

UK: My Experience with Gerrard Williams and His Book “Grey Wolf”! (25.6.2025)

The Soviet version was unconvincing because they could not be sure. On top of this, the Cold War mentality of the West declared the USSR and Nazi Germany to be exactly the same – despite the former being our ally and the latter our mortal enemy. This was at a time that Churchill brought 10,000 Ukrainian SS War Criminals to the UK to escape Soviet Justice – and Canada would eventually raise a monument to these Nazi-collaborators in a War Cemetery for Canadians who had died during Dieppe and D-Day! Meanwhile, the Catholic Church assisted thousands of fascist and Nazi War Criminals to flee to “safe” Catholic countries in Central and South America. Many Nazi War Criminals DID escape – and it is well-known that they did. Moreover, the US absolved a number of these individuals and used them to work for NASA and NATO! I found it interesting at the time how angry and adamant many people became when it was suggested Hitler might had survived the war! Oddly, a good proportion did appear to be right-wing! It seemed very important for their contemporary plans that Hitler remains dead and buried in the past! Anyway, the photograph is the only part of my interaction I can find at the moment – so here it is. Should I re-discover my email exchanges with Gerrard and his colleagues – I will add them to this missive!

WWII "Drifting" Mine!

WWII: D-Day 81st Anniversary [1944-2025] – Remembering Arthur Gibson and the HMS Beaumaris Castle (FY 992) – of the “Royal Navy Patrol Service” [RNPS] ! (5.6.2025)

A “moored” mine (or “Naval” mine) is a single mine anchored to the seabed by a length of metal chain or rope – operating at a depth decided by the length of mooring tether. These mines were deadly as they often hid below the waterline and the line of sight – waiting for the hull of a ship to strike it in passing. A “drifting” sea mine was a device (sometimes “magnetic” but also “non-magnetic” or “contact” detonated) that floated about on the surface of the sea according to the tide. These mines could travel hundreds of miles and bob and weave their way up estuaries and into harbours. From what I gather according to the stories I was told, it was these “drifting” mines my grandfather was responsible for destroying. Obviously, a “U-Boat” was a Nazi German “Unterseeboot” or “Under Water Boat” – whilst an E-Boat referred to a Nazi German fast-attack “Enemy Boat” – usually carrying torpedoes.

Royal Navy Patrol Service: 80th Anniversary of D-Day! (6.6.2024)

This idea stems from the small English ships that got amongst the impressive Spanish Galleons of the Spanish Armada which was defeated in late 1588. My grandfather spoke of the Soviet sailors – male and female – that staffed many of the Convoy Ships who would throw bars of chocolate onto the British ships as they sailed by as a means of saying “Thank You”! The German U-Boats reeked havoc on all British shipping – particularly in the North Atlantic. I do not agree with the current trend of US and British youth who mistakenly eulogise the Navy German Navy – fixating upon the U-Boat section – whilst ignoring the brave sailors of the British Navy. The Navy German Navy committed War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity and should not be raised to a level of admiration and respect. Thank you to the RNPS for protecting the UK during WWII!

Emails: St Kilda – Ancients British Celts, WWI, WWII, Human and Animal Tragedy! (17.9.2023)

Research suggests these people had lived on this isolated island for around 2000 years – as they spoke a very old Gaelic language mixed with the odd word of Latin and Norse! The island was attacked once by an Imperial German U-boat during Spring 1918 (which fired 60 artillery rounds at a British Telegraph Station) near the end of WWI. During WWII, after all the indigenous Celts had gone – my maternal grandfather – Arthur Gibson – (when serving in the Royal Navy on the Minesweeper – HMS Beaumaris Castle) was ordered onto the island of St Kilda (Hirta) after an aeroplane full of US Servicemen (who were returning home after fighting in Europe) -crashed into the high mountainside with no survivors.
