World War II
Fire in the Sky
Fire in the Sky by President Harry S. Truman I worry the world is stumbling toward nuclear war, if not soon then probably sometime this century, and feel both obligated and qualified to comment since I’m still the only man in history who had to make the painful decision to use atomic bombs, and I…
Minnesota
Minnesota by Heinrich Himmler Deep in a bunker under the besieged city of Minneapolis, I clicked my heels and listened as President Trump said, “I have some serious problems up there.” “Yes, sir. Most regrettable.” “I guarantee those bastards stole the presidential election three straight times in Minnesota, but Democrat traitors claimed I never got…
“Hitler Here” Still Going Strong After 20 Years
About 20 years ago I entered my first book, the biographical novel “Hitler Here,” in the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest, and sold foreign rights to a Czech publisher who translated and published the work, which I just googled and noted it has three reviews and ratings, all five stars. I’m happy to see…
78th Anniversary – Colonel von Stauffenberg Planted Bomb at Hitler’s Feet
VALKYRIE AGAIN By Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg My adjutant was scrambling through his briefcase as I dug in mine. Gripping special pliers with my thumb and two fingers, I squeezed and broke the acid capsule. That activated the bomb in my briefcase. “I need more room,” I told Lieutenant von Haeften. “Help me get these…
Zelensky Duels Putin – 5
In a sealed room somewhere bombs can’t be heard, Vladimir Putin, standing by his chair, points to a table long as a bowling lane, and says, “Please sit down.” Volodymyr Zelensky stations himself at one end and Putin the other. “Welcome, President Zelensky. I trust you had a comfortable trip. As you know, I guaranteed…

Images of War
Young Ed Reep enters Bologna and photographs a brick wall marred by bullets under partisan blood, and shattered buildings lining the path of U.S. troops, and tanks recently hot now at rest, and a fascist’s hands touching the sky, and three citizens applauding from a balcony, and smiling young women as they rush to extend…
Where did Hitler Die?
I spent twenty years researching and writing a biographical novel called Hitler Here and hoped, after some post-publication interviews, I’d never have to answer any more related questions, which tended to be either of the “Did Elvis really serenade Hitler on Mars?” or “We sure need another guy like him, don’t we?” variety. Most such…
Yogi Meets Winston
Right, I’m the gatekeeper now. Of course, in my case, that’s with a lower case g. The Big Guy says with the world’s population increasing so fast he’s got to turn the job over to someone else and tend to running this place. My instructions are pretty clear: don’t let in any bad guys, you…
Stalin Makes Comeback
I hope you hypocritical Americans have read the recent article in the Los Angeles Times. If I had said these things, you wouldn’t have believed them. Now you have to accept that in the only place that counts, the vast Soviet Union, I am again a hero to leaders and peasants alike, and that those…
Klimt Paints Gold
“Herr Klimt, you certainly prepare most thoroughly.” “Always, and especially for you, Frau Bloch-Bauer.” “How much longer will it take?” “Much of that depends on you, Madame. I believe I’ll need two hundred sketches and dozens of sittings. You don’t find your time with me unpleasant, I hope.” “On the contrary, I very much look…
Putin Fights Fascists in Ukraine
It is my duty to speak and my nature to lead. Russians and all others respect the most fearsome martial artist who’s ever guided any nation and the special friend of a sensuous young woman. I bring strength, insight, and animal appeal into any environment I grace. Right now, more than ever, my stage is…
Alternative – 70th Anniversary of D-Day
Eleven days after the D-Day landing on June 6, 1944, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was driven to Adolf Hitler’s headquarters. Alternative By Field Marshal Erwin Rommel Hitler either didn’t believe what was happening, or he didn’t understand the implications. I was determined to explain matters face to face. So was Field Marshal Rundstedt. We repeatedly…
Himmler Visits North Korea
I’m tired of people joking the Reichsfuehrer SS once gagged and almost fainted after seeing some civilians shot. I did stagger, yes, but didn’t fall or vomit and, after being helped away and recovering, I sent orders to continue shooting. That’s such a slow and messy process, I know. We don’t have any gas chambers…
