French Jew Pr. Roger Dommergue Polacco de Menasce (most of his Youtube uploads have been removed from Youtube, including the one I posted on my own Channel that caused me to stop using it.)

"By butchering humanity they (my brethren the Jews) are butchering themselves."

At 10:16 minutes:

 "But, mind you, they (the victims of the camps) could have been saved because Hitler had suggested a few trucks in exchange for their liberation, but it was the Anglo-Saxon Jewry that refused.  Consequently those who died at Dachau, whether it was 100,000 or 6,000,000, they died only because of that refusal ."

 

"Victims of all ethnicity" who died in concentration labour camps number some 150,000, according to French Pr. Robert Faurisson's figures.

 

"Exterminationist author Jean-Claude Pressac came up with 700,000 victims. His book was broadcasted/promoted by the Klarsfelds."

"Mr. Hitler tried to overthrow the Age of Darkness; he was defeated in advance.  But, they don't stop lying to us about him."

* Pierre de Coubertin said about Hitler: "He is one of the greatest constructive minds of the era"  * *

*"On 10.9.1939, writing to his sister, Chamberlain said it was America and the International Jewish World that pushed us to war."

* " Aba Aymayer, a Jew, said: Hitler has saved Germany."

* "I will quote a letter of Ben Gurion to Naum Goldman dated 27/7/52 where he said this: I do not know a single country containing so many thieves, manipulators, unscrupulous profiteers like this small nation called Israel."

*"1943-1944, one year of Holocaust, official duration, perfected homicidal gas ovens set up at the end of 1943..." "imposture, impossible figures...no trace of hydro cyanide acid...American Jewish Year Book of 1941 fixed the number of Jews living in occupied zones in Europe to 3,3 million Jews. Page 666. "

* "In 1941, many Jews had left for the US, England, Israel, including all the members of my family Polacco de Menasce!"

* "Most German towns of more than 100,000 were destroyed by 95%.  How could the ones detained in camps have been provided with food?"

And a lot more damning facts that has been removed from Youtube!

November, 1941: Hitler hosts the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem

Hitler's Secret Plan to Free the Arabs and Liberate Palestine By Mike King

Historical Background

The First World War (1914-1918) started because the “Triple Entente” of Britain, France & Russia initiated a fight against the “Triple Alliance” of Germany, Austria-Hungary & Ottoman Empire (Turkey). With the objective of inciting an Arab rebellion against their Turkish rulers, the British promised the Arabs an independent state of their own if they helped them to topple and chop-up the Ottoman Empire. Though the Arabs fought valiantly during  The Arab Revolt of 1916-1918 , little did they know of the secret deal that had been previously hatched behind their backs by the Rothschild – British – French syndicate.

In January of 1916, the secret Sykes–Picot Agreement between the United Kingdom and France (with assent from the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy) defined their coming spheres of influence and control that were to be established after their expected victory over the Ottomans. The negotiations -- led by diplomats Mark Sykes of Britain and Francois Georges-Picot of France -- were held mainly in late 1915.

The dirty deal divided the Ottoman provinces (except for the Arabian Peninsula) into areas of British and French control and influence. The UK would take over what is today Israel (Palestine), Jordan, and southern Iraq. France was to control southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. And the Arabs who would be induced into shedding their blood for the independence that the Allies were to promise them? Well, not only did the humiliated Arabs receive nothing for their efforts – but they had to stand by and watch helplessly as the British allowed wave after wave of European Jews (many of them violent) to emigrate to the new “British Mandate” in Arab Palestine, including their holy city of Jerusalem.

In short, the Allies (All-Lies) cunningly, and in premeditated fashion, betrayed the Arabs in general, and the Palestinians in particular.

1. The Arabs were tricked into fighting for independence. 

// 2. Mister Sykes & Monsieur Picot -- The Ottoman Empire had already been divided (on paper) before the Arabs even started their British-instigated revolt. 

// 3. T.E. Lawrence -- the legendary "Lawrence of Arabia" was the British operative tasked with helping to lead the Arab revolt. No one had told him about Sykes-Picot either! After the war, Lawrence expressed his displeasure with the betrayal of his Arab allies, and tried to have Sykes-Picot overturned at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference (Versailles). During the 1-year-long conference to reshape the world, Lawrence was nearly killed in a plane crash (which did kill the pilot and co-pilot).

* In 1935, Lawrence, who remained pro-Arab and anti-Zionist (and rumored to have been pro-Hitler), was killed in a motorcycle "accident" that even some "mainstream" researchers now speculate may have been a hit-job by British Intelligence. (here)

Another dirty backroom deal which was hatched during that same period was the infamous Balfour Agreement -- by which the British would, after the war, secure Palestine for Jewish immigration as payoff for American Zionists forcing President Woodrow Wilson to drag the United States into the war on Britain's side -- which happened in 1917 (U.S. troops deployed in 1918). // Latter Day Israeli postage stamps commemorate "Balfour Day" with images of Zionist schemer Chaim Weizmann (l) and Lord Balfour (r).

Hitler’s Meeting with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem
 
On November 28, 1941 -- at a time when Germany was in a very good position in its war against the Soviet Union and the United States is still not involved in the war -- Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti (spiritual leader / scholar) of Jerusalem met with The Great One in Berlin. The conventional historical account of the meeting vaguely indicates that the Mufti wanted German support for an uprising against the British and French imperialists, but that Hitler said no. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that a full German record of the meeting between al-Husseini and Hitler was declassified and published. So, who needs academic eggheads to lecture us about historical when the original source for this amazing bit of history is now available to us?
 
The Real History Chan is pleased to present the official German record of the meeting between Adolf Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, which took place at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin. The record is complete and unaltered – with some analysis added to enhance understanding.

Bosnia and Herzegovina --  the Mufti of Jerusalem reviewing a unit of Muslim Bosnians in the service of the Waffen SS

SS Chief Himmler's 1943 Telegram to the Grand Mufti:

"To the Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini,

The National-Socialist movement of greater Germany has made its fight against world Jewry a guiding principle since its very beginning. For that reason it has been closely following the battle of freedom-seeking Arabs -- and especially in Palestine against the Jewish invaders. The joint recognition of the enemy, and the joint battle against him are what creates the firm allegiance between Germany and freedom-seeking Muslims all over the world. In this spirit, I am happy to wish you on the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, warm wishes for the continuation of your battle until the big victory."

(published in Times of Israel)

German Report: The Grand Mufti began by thanking the Fuhrer for the great honor he had bestowed by receiving him. He wished to seize the opportunity to convey to the Fuhrer of the Greater German Reich, admired by the entire Arab world, his thanks of the sympathy which he had always shown for the Arab and especially the Palestinian cause, and to which he had given clear expression in his public speeches. (emphasis added)


Analysis: Indeed, the Arabs respected Hitler for his expressed sympathy for the Palestinians. Contrary to the false claims of assorted charlatans and fools (or worse?) like Christopher Bjerkness that “Hitler was a Zionist,” nothing could be further from the truth. As far back as Mein Kampf, written in 1925, Hitler scorned the Zionist scheme. He wrote:

“While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn't even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks."

The only reason why Germany allowed some its Jews to emigrate to Palestine in 1933 was to break the economic sanctions and get rid of some malcontents at the same time.
 
German Report (continued) : The Arab countries were firmly convinced that Germany would win the war and that the Arab cause would then prosper. The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends because they had the same enemies as had Germany, namely the English, the Jews and the Communists. Therefore they were prepared to cooperate with Germany with all their hearts and stood ready to participate in the war, not only negatively by the commission of acts of sabotage and the instigation of revolutions, but also positively by the formation of an Arab Legion.


Analysis: The Arabs were willing to rise up against their new rulers exactly as they had against the old ones (the Ottomans). The difference this time around would be that if the Germans won, Hitler -- a man who, if anything, was sometimes too honorable --  would never have betrayed them like the British and French had three decades earlier. The Arabs trusted Hitler.
 
German Report (continued) : The Arabs could be more useful to Germany as allies than might be apparent at first glance, both for geographical reasons and because of the suffering inflicted upon them by the English and the Jews. Furthermore, they had had close relations with all Muslim nations, of which they could make use in behalf of the common cause. The Arab Legion would be quite easy to raise. An appeal by the Mufti to the Arab countries and the prisoners of Arab, Algerian, Tunisian and Moroccan nationality in Germany would produce a great number of volunteers eager to fight. Of Germany’s victory the Arab world was firmly convinced, not only because the Reich possessed a large army, brave soldiers and military leaders of genius, but also because the Almighty could never award the victory to an unjust cause.

 
Analysis: Clearly, Hitler understood the benefit of an alliance with the Arabs and the vast Muslim world in general. The "great number" of Arab "prisoners" mentioned in the report refers to the 80,000 POW's from France's Arab colonies that Germany was humanely holding until a final peace treaty -- blocked by the British -- could be reached. These already-trained soldiers could be unleashed against the depleted British in the Middle East, when the time was right.
 
German Report (continued) :  In this struggle, the Arabs were striving for the independence and unity of Palestine, Syria and Iraq. They had the fullest confidence in the Fuhrer and looked to his hand for the balm on their wounds, which had been inflicted upon them by the enemies of Germany. The Mufti then mentioned the letter he had received from Germany, which stated that Germany was holding no Arab territories and understood and recognized the aspirations to independence and freedom of the Arabs, just as she supported the elimination of the Jewish national home. (emphasis added)

A public declaration in this sense would be very useful for its propagandistic effect on the Arab peoples at this moment. It would rouse the Arabs from their momentary lethargy and give them new courage. It would also ease the Mufti’s work of secretly organizing the Arabs against the moment when they could strike. At the same time, he could give the assurance that the Arabs would in strict discipline patiently wait for the right moment and only strike upon an order from Berlin.

With regard to the events in Iraq, the Mufti observed that the Arabs in that country certainly had by no means been incited by Germany to attack England, but solely had acted in reaction to a direct English assault upon their honor.

The Turks, he believed, would welcome the establishment of an Arab government in the neighboring territories because they would prefer weaker Arab to strong European governments in the neighboring countries and, being themselves a nation of 7 million (actually, 18 million in 1941), they had more over nothing to fear from the 1,700,000 Arabs inhabiting Syria, Transjordan, Iraq and Palestine.

France likewise would have no objections to the unification plan because it had conceded independence to Syria as early as 1936 and had given her approval to the unification of Iraq and Syria under King Faisal as early as 1933.


Analysis: This plan to break British power in the Middle East was well thought-out -- not only logistically, but geo-politically.

1. Out of ignorance or possibly other unknown motives, podcaster Adam Green and author Christopher Bjerkness are among those on "the far right" who peddle the absurd "Hitler was a Zionist agent" bullshit. 

// 2.  Mein Kampf was translated into Arabic. Hitler was very popular throughout the British-French dominated Arab world, including Palestine. In French-occupied Syria, there was a slogan that went:  

″No more Monsieur, no more Mister; Allah in heaven and on earth, Hitler.″ (here)

German Report (continued) :  In these circumstances he was renewing his request that the Fuhrer make a public declaration so that the Arabs would not lose hope, which is so powerful a force in the life of nations. With such hope in their hearts the Arabs, as he had said, were willing to wait. They were not pressing for immediate realization for their aspirations; they could easily wait half a year or a whole year. But if they were not inspired with such a hope by a declaration of this sort, it could be expected that the English would be the gainers from it.

The Fuhrer replied that Germany’s fundamental attitude on these questions, as the Mufti himself had already stated, was clear. Germany stood for uncompromising war against the Jews. That naturally included active opposition to the Jewish national home in Palestine, which was nothing other than a center, in the form of a state, for the exercise of destructive influence by Jewish interests. Germany was also aware that the assertion that the Jews were carrying out the functions of economic pioneers in Palestine was a lie. The work there was done only by the Arabs, not by the Jews. Germany was resolved, step by step, to ask one European nation after the other to solve its Jewish problem, and at the proper time to direct a similar appeal to non-European nations as well.

Germany was at the present time engaged in a life and death struggle with two citadels of Jewish power: Great Britain and Soviet Russia. Theoretically there was a difference between England’s capitalism and Soviet Russia’s communism; actually, however, the Jews in both countries were pursuing a common goal. This was the decisive struggle; on the political plane, it presented itself in the main as a conflict between Germany and England, but ideologically it was a battle between National Socialism and the Jews. It went without saying that Germany would furnish positive and practical aid to the Arabs involved in the same struggle, because platonic promises were useless in a war for survival or destruction in which the Jews were able to mobilize all of England’s power for their ends.

The aid to the Arabs would have to be material aid. Of how little help sympathies alone were in such a battle had been demonstrated plainly by the operation in Iraq, where circumstances had not permitted the rendering of really effective, practical aid. In spite of all the sympathies, German aid had not been sufficient and Iraq was overcome by the power of Britain, that is, the guardian of the Jews.

Analysis: This is confirmation that Hitler wanted to bring the fight to the British in the Middle East, and expel both them and the Zionist invaders of Palestine.

German Report:  The Mufti could not but be aware, however, that the outcome of the struggle going on at present would also decide the fate of the Arab world. The Fuhrer therefore had to think and speak coolly and deliberately, as a rational man and primarily as a soldier, as the leader of the German and allied armies. Everything of a nature to help in this titanic battle for the common cause, and thus also for the Arabs, would have to be done. Anything however, that might contribute to weakening the military situation must be put aside, no matter how unpopular this move might be.

Germany was now engaged in very severe battles to force the gateway to the northern Caucasus region. The difficulties were mainly with regard to maintaining the supply, which was most difficult as a result of the destruction of railroads and highways as well as the oncoming winter. If at such a moment, the Fuhrer were to raise the problem of Syria in a declaration, those elements in France which were under de Gaulle’s influence would receive new strength. They would interpret the Fuhrer’s declaration as an intention to break up France’s colonial empire and appeal to their fellow countrymen that they should rather make common cause with the English to try to save what still could be saved. A German declaration regarding Syria would in France be understood to refer to the French colonies in general, and that would at the present time create new troubles in western Europe, which means that a portion of the German armed forces would be immobilized in the west and no longer be available for the campaign in the east.

The Fuhrer then made the following statement to the Mufti, enjoining him to lock it in the uttermost depths of his heart:

1. He (the Fuhrer) would carry on the battle to the total destruction of the Judeo-Communist empire in Europe.

2. At some moment which was impossible to set exactly today but which in any event was not distant, the German armies would in the course of this struggle reach the southern exit from Caucasia.

3. As soon as this had happened, the Fuhrer would on his own give the Arab world the assurance that its hour of liberation had arrived. Germany’s objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of British power. In that hour the Mufti would be the most authoritative spokesman for the Arab world. It would then be his task to set off the Arab operations, which he had secretly prepared. When that time had come, Germany could also be indifferent to French reaction to such a declaration.

Once Germany had forced open the road to Iran and Iraq through Rostov; it would be also the beginning of the end of the British World Empire. He (the Fuhrer) hoped that the coming year would make it possible for Germany to thrust open the Caucasian gate to the Middle East. For the good of their common cause, it would be better if the Arab proclamation were put off for a few more months than if Germany were to create difficulties for herself without being able thereby to help the Arabs.

The Fuhrer fully appreciated the eagerness of the Arabs for a public declaration of the sort requested by the Grand Mufti. But he would beg him to consider that he (the Fuhrer) himself was the Chief of State of the German Reich for five long years during which he was unable to make to his own homeland the announcement of its liberation. He had to wait with that until the announcement could be made on the basis of a situation brought about by the force of arms that the Anschluss had been carried out.

The moment that Germany’s tank divisions and air squadrons had made their appearance south of the Caucasus, the public appeal requested by the Grand Mufti could go out to the Arab world.

(emphasis added)
 
Analysis: You see, Hitler did not “turn down” the Mufti’s request for a public declaration. To the contrary, he promised bold words and actions, when the timing was right, sometime in 1942.

Hitler’s plan was to first defeat the Soviets in southern Russia, grab their oil fields, and then head south towards the Middle East. At that historical moment of supreme strength and momentum, Hitler would excite and inspire the Arab world by publicly announcing the secret German-Arab alliance to expel the Rothschild British and Zionists from the Middle East – with the Jews (both in Europe and in Palestine) being humanely transferred to a new homeland on the beautiful island of Madagascar. (here)

German Report (continued) :   The Grand Mufti replied that it was his view that everything would come to pass just as the Fuhrer had indicated. He was fully reassured and satisfied by the words which he had heard from the Chief of the German State. He asked, however, whether it would not be possible, secretly at least, to enter into an agreement with Germany of the kind he had just outlined for the Fuhrer. (emphasis added)

The Fuhrer replied that he had just now given the Grand Mufti precisely that confidential declaration. The Grand Mufti thanked him for it and stated in conclusion that he was taking his leave from the Fuhrer in full confidence and with reiterated thanks for the interest shown in the Arab cause.


Analysis: Unfortunately for both Germany and the Arabs, the pivotal 1942-1943 Battle of Stalingrad (in southern Russia) prevented the German breakout through the Caucuses and down to the Middle East. With the limitless bodies of the Red Army being so heavily (and I mean heavily!) supplied by FDR’s “Lend Lease” arsenal of state-of-the-art weaponry and essential supplies; and with Germany facing an American-led second front in the West and in Africa -- the promised and expected German liberation of the Arabs and of occupied Palestine (including Jerusalem!) never happened. Oh what a moment in time that would have been!

1. Hitler knew that if he made his intentions to liberate the Arabs known too soon, the French traitor General Charles de Gaulle -- exiled in Britain at the time -- would use Hitler's declaration to mobilize the underground Communist "Resistance" of France and propagandize, by radio, the French people against the Germans. 

// 2. The German campaign in southern Russia / the Caucuses had to be won before Hitler could make his bold move into the Middle East.

 // 3. Map shows the strategic location of Stalingrad (now listed as Volgograd). A German victory would have opened up Russia's oil to the German defense machine and opened the door for a southern advance to liberate the Arabs -- who would then rise up against the British, on the Mufti's order.

Limitless U.S. arms shipments, limitless Soviet manpower, and treason by certain German officers -- all combined to finally defeat the Germans at Stalingrad and thus prevent the plan to head south and liberate the Arabs and Palestine. The German POW's in Image 3 were shipped to Siberian slave camps, most never to return to Germany again.

The Madagascar Plan would have been a humane win-win-win solution for Jews, Arabs & Europeans.

Translating ″Mein Kampf″ into Arabic

Hitler′s paperchase

How the Third Reich′s plans to translate ″Mein Kampf″ into Arabic led to the creation of one of the most famous Arabic dictionaries. By Mey Dudin

In the spring of 1934, Fritz Grobba, Germany′s ambassador to Iraq, reported that an Iraqi newspaper has begun to print extracts from Hitler′s Mein Kampf in Arabic. In his letter to the foreign office in Berlin, the diplomat advocated turning the translated extracts into a book and giving the project German financial backing.

″As with all publications of a National Socialist kind,″ Grobba wrote, the translation has ″been received by the Arab readership here with great interest; one could almost say delight in some quarters.″

Five years before the start of the Second World War, the Arab world was ruled by two major western powers: France and Great Britain. Nationalist movements, campaigning for independence, were growing ever stronger. The fact that Hitler viewed the two occupying countries as enemies won him the Arabs′ sympathy; they saw him as a strong man who could put the hated colonisers in their place. A popular slogan on the streets of Aleppo and Damascus went as follows: ″No more Monsieur, no more Mister; Allah in heaven and on earth, Hitler.″

Nazi propaganda for the Arab world

Ambassador Grobba′s appeal was heard. The Bonn-based Arabist Stefan Wild would later collate the correspondence between Berlin and Baghdad and pen an academic article entitled ″National Socialism in the Arab Near East between 1933 and 1939″, which examined the discussion over the translation of Mein Kampf.

Hans Wehr studied Oriental and Romance languages, Egyptology, Chinese, philosophy and the history of religion, at universities in Berlin, Leipzig and Halle. He was particularly interested in the Islamic Orient. He began collecting newspaper cuttings containing Arabic expressions. Ultimately he would produce something that was to be his life′s work: an Arabic-German dictionary

According to this article, Grobba broached the question of whether a few passages should be altered ″to suit the mentality and sensitivities of the race-conscious Arabs″. Despite the Semitic status of the Arab peoples, anti-Jewish feeling was widespread in the region. Grobba therefore suggested translating the German word ″Antisemitismus″ as ″Anti-Judaism″.

Meanwhile in Halle, a good 4000 kilometres from Baghdad, an unassuming man widely regarded as an exceptional linguist was collecting thousands of notes. The man′s name was Hans Wehr and he was a philologist in his early 30s. As a result of polio he was unable to move his right arm and so was unable to take part in paramilitary sports or Nazi training camps.

Instead, he buried himself in books, studying Oriental and Romance languages, Egyptology, Chinese, philosophy and the history of religion, at universities in Berlin, Leipzig and Halle. He was particularly interested in the Islamic Orient. He began collecting newspaper cuttings containing Arabic expressions from Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Palestine as well as literature by Taha Hussein or Gibran Khalil Gibran; he also analysed terms from the Egyptian state almanac and dictionary entries for something that would become his life′s work: an Arabic-German dictionary.

In November 1936, the propaganda ministry informed the foreign ministry that Hitler had agreed to the printing of an Arabic version of his book. Passages that Arabs might find particularly offensive were to be omitted ″out of consideration for the current political situation.″

Incorrect translations and false information

The Arabic version – meaning the first translation from Iraq – was to be run past the privy councillor Bernhard Moritz, who worked for the Pol. VII department of the foreign office responsible for the Orient. He was an Arabist and at the time almost 80 years old. His verdict was damning. The translated passages, he said, had been ″taken out of context; the translations were incorrect and frequently unintelligible.″ Moritz also rejected other Arabic translations in circulation at the time for their obvious failings. In one edition of Mein Kampf on sale in Cairo, Hitler′s statement: ″I became a nationalist″ had been turned into the confession: ″I became a socialist″.

Hans Wehr finished his ″Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic″ in 1945 – yet it would be another seven years before it was published. Also available in English, it remains one of the best Arabic dictionaries in the world

Alongside such unauthorised translations, false information was also threatening to destroy the propaganda effect the Germans had been hoping for. The German consulate in Beirut reported that people believed the ″invented claim″ that ″the National Socialists have compiled a scale of races on which the Arabs come 14th.″

In the foreign office′s Oriental department, someone proposed the idea that the translation should have ″something of the tone of the book that every ′Mohammed′ understands: the Koran.″ Berlin entrusted the job to a Druze prince from Lebanon, Shakib Arslan – in co-operation with privy councillor Moritz.

Arslan, the grandfather of the current Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, was 75 years old at the time. He was a nationalist living in Switzerland. He based his translation largely on the French version of Mein Kampf; the Oriental department would then check the Arabic edition. But it quickly became clear that there was no adequate Arabic-German dictionary to help them with this task.

The foreign office stumbled across the name of Hans Wehr, by then a lecturer at Greifswald University; people said he had been collecting material for such a book. There being no political objections, Wehr continued his work from that point on by order of the ministry′s department for cultural politics.

Painstaking translation work

Working in painstaking detail on the more than 1000-page book, he and his colleagues collected Arabic word roots – consisting of three or four letters – from which a huge variety of terms can be derived in practical usage. His team included his long-time colleague Andreas Jacobi, whose father was a Jew, and the German-Jewish Arabist Hedwig Klein. Neither would survive the years that followed: Hedwig Klein was murdered in Auschwitz and Andreas Jacobi had to enlist and was reported missing.

Hans Wehr finished his ″Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic″ in 1945 – yet it would be another seven years before it was published. Also available in English, it remains one of the best Arabic dictionaries in the world.

An official Arabic translation of Mein Kampf was never published. An internal memo, probably written in 1940, reads that the matter was ″no longer current due to the outbreak of war.″ The unauthorised editions, however, are still being sold in kiosks all over the Arab world.

Lawrence of Arabia may have been murdered by British secret service, new film suggests

New film suggests Lawrence of Arabia may have been murdered

A controversial new biopic about T.E. Lawrence suggests British secret service may have murdered the famous desert warrior.

The British army officer and archeologist, the desert warrior of Lawrence of Arabia fame who played a key role in the defeat of the Ottoman Empire a century ago, died in a motorcycle accident in England in May 1935, at the age of 46.

In an email to FoxNews.com, Mark Griffin, who has written "Lawrence: After Arabia", explained that the biopic "covers the accident as both an accident or [a] possible assassination − about 10% of the film − so the viewer can make up their own mind."

“In my opinion - and I know this is a polarizing question - it could have been a conspiracy but I also believe it could have been an accident, hence covering why we show both aspects within the movie," he said.

Griffin told British newspaper the Daily Mirror last month that a “credible” explanation for the 1935 death is that the British intelligence apparatus assassinated Lawrence. British spies opposed Sir Winston Churchill’s plan to appoint Lawrence as the director of the espionage organization, Griffin claims.

“There were many credible reasons someone might have wanted him dead. Zionists, the Secret Service and the establishment were all against him," he said.

“First, he continued to be involved in the Arab cause, and was in regular contact with King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, who was angry that the Allies hadn’t kept their promises on the Balfour Declaration about Jewish settlements in Palestine, and was talking of an Arab revolt.”

Lawrence obtained valuable experience in gathering intelligence during the British campaign against the Turks during the First World War.

The filmmaker went as far to claim that Lawrence was also linked to Oswald Mosley and the Blackshirts, an infamous fascist party in the U.K., and there is also speculation about the possibility of Lawrence meeting Hitler.

“He might have been infiltrating the [fascist] group so he could find out more about the Nazis and the threat of a Second World War, or he might have gone native," Griffin said.

The problem with Griffin’s claims are the lack of any solid evidence. Leading Lawrence scholars such as Jeremy Wilson, the author of "Lawrence of Arabia: The Authorised Biography of T. E. Lawrence (1989)", said: “Countless fictions have built up around Lawrence’s life.”

Wilson, who died in April 2017, wrote that people who leveled false claims about Lawrence “wanted to make money by publishing a new and preferably sensational ‘revelation.’ That process is still going on.”

In his 2010 biography "Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia", the prominent writer Michael Korda debunked the conspiracy theories about Lawrence’s death.

Griffin, whose film is expected to be released in 2020, told Fox News: “We view the film as the third in the trilogy following Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Dangerous Man (1996) and the focus by the media on the ‘conspiracy’ aspect within the film has been over-egged − due I think to the local interest in the story.”

BETTIE PAGE'S 'LOST YEARS' REVEALED IN 'TREASURE TROVE' OF UNSEEN LETTERS AND PHOTOS

David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, winning seven Oscars in 1963.

Griffin told FoxNews.com his film “is a biopic which focuses on the last year of TEL’s life including his PTSD, his treatment as a teenager, his friendships with [Thomas] Hardy, [Winston] Churchill, Lady Astor etc.”

Jacob Rosen, a former Israeli ambassador to Jordan and a top Lawrence expert, told FoxNews.com that Israel’s first president, Chaim Weizmann, met with him [Lawrence] several times.

"He was very instrumental and I don’t think Zionists would have anything against him.”

Winston Churchill biographer Sir Martin Gilbert has documented what he termed Lawrence’s “little known romance with Zionism,” including Lawrence’s comment prior to WWI on Jews in then-Palestine: “The sooner the Jews farm it the better: their colonies are bright spots in a desert.”

Rosen, who has the world’s largest collection of different foreign language versions of T.E. Lawrence’s biography Seven Pillars of Wisdom and has written and lectured on Lawrence, said Lawrence was “mentally exhausted” after he was released from his military service and he does not think he would have accepted an appointment to oversee the United Kingdom’s intelligence community.

“I am a diplomat and want to see the full picture,” Rosen said about the movie’s claims. “Let him present the evidence.”
