Denazification – The Great Failure of the United States and Its Consequences for Europe
We hesitated for a long time before addressing this issue. But anyone who bears responsibility in the public debate must also allow criticism of their own side. This concerns the interview that Alina Lipp published with former U.S. intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
In this conversation, Ritter states very emotionally that he “hates Nazi Germany” and cannot comprehend how German tanks are once again rolling against Russia. He accuses Germany, the U.S., and Canada of having forgotten their history, while Russia, in his words, “stands on the right side of history.” As evidence, he even points to a statue of Stepan Bandera in the United States.
As understandable as the outrage over current German policy may be – here Ritter crosses a red line. To indiscriminately place Germany in the proximity of National Socialism not only trivializes the historical uniqueness of National Socialism, but also insults all those in Germany who sincerely stand against war and historical amnesia.
Alina Lipp also bears responsibility. Whoever passes on such statements unfiltered makes their one-sidedness their own. Enlightenment must not degenerate into blind emotionality. Anyone who wants to be credible must differentiate.
Our red line is therefore: Yes, Germany bears responsibility for its history. Yes, it is legitimate to criticize the current war policy of the federal government. But no – Germany is not “Nazi Germany,” and such blanket equations only weaken one’s own argument.
Only those who remain clear can remain credible. This is what the video is about!
On Mr. Scott Ritter:
Denazification – The Great Failure of the United States and Its Consequences for Europe
After 1945, Germany lay in ruins. Millions dead, cities destroyed, moral bankruptcy. The Allies had a clear goal: to denazify, demilitarize, democratize and decentralize Germany. Yet the United States broke this promise. What was sold as “liberation” ended in a geopolitical calculation that continues to shape Europe’s destiny to this day.
The Unfinished Project of Denazification
At first, the path seemed clear: tribunals, dismissals, internments. But as early as 1947/48, another objective moved into the foreground – the struggle against the Soviet Union. The Cold War began, and suddenly thousands of former NSDAP members, Wehrmacht generals, and jurists became “useful” again. They were integrated into the administration, judiciary, police, and military of the young Federal Republic.
-
Shortage of specialists as a pretext: Millions of party members should have been excluded. Instead, they were reinstated.
-
Stability over justice: The U.S. wanted a functioning West Germany – no matter the cost to historical truth.
-
Military calculation: With NATO (1949) and the Bundeswehr (1955), German officers were needed again – even if they had previously fought Hitler’s war.
Thus the FRG was created: not as a sovereign Germany, but as a U.S. front state in the Cold War, interwoven with old networks and new dependencies.
The Price: German Sovereignty
Had denazification been consistently completed and had Germans been allowed, according to Article 146 of the Basic Law, to adopt their own constitution, Germany today would be sovereign, democratically renewed, and free from historical burdens. Instead, it remained a provisional construct that has never been completed.
The consequence: U.S. treaties, NATO structures, and foreign interests still determine German politics. German tanks roll into Ukraine – not because the German people want it, but because Washington dictates it.
The Pattern of U.S. Policy
This course of action is no accident, but method:
-
Indian Wars: The deliberate extermination of the bison to deprive Native Americans of their livelihood – hunger as a weapon.
-
Latin America: Coups, putsch support, CIA operations from Guatemala to Chile.
-
Europe: Manipulation of parties, financing of networks, control of the media.
-
Today: The war in Ukraine, staged as a “fight for freedom,” but in reality a proxy war against Russia.
Always the same pattern: the U.S. manipulates, finances, organizes coups, stirs up wars – and then poses as liberator. Liberator from what? From the destruction it has itself created.
Conclusion: The Grand Geopolitical Game
The U.S. never completed denazification because it never wanted Germany to be truly free. A sovereign Germany would be independent, peaceful, and strong – and that contradicts Washington’s geostrategic interests.
That is why the FRG remained a construct that never became a nation. That is why German tanks once again roll eastward today. And that is why the following remains true: Only when Germany regains its sovereignty, fulfills Article 146, and adopts a genuine constitution will peace in Europe be possible.
Alina Lipp – German Roots, Russian Perspective
Alina Lipp is a young woman from Hamburg. She is German, born and raised in Germany. Her mother is German, her father comes from Russia. She is thus a child of two cultures – with a German upbringing, but also a strong bond to Russia.
Today, Alina Lipp appears primarily as a pro-Russian blogger and journalist. She regularly reports from the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine and is regarded there as a voice defending Russia and sharply criticizing Western policy. Many of her posts reach a large audience on social networks.
But here a decisive question arises: Has Alina Lipp forgotten where she actually comes from?
She was born in Germany, studied in Germany, and is part of a German culture that has developed over centuries. Her roots lie clearly in Germany. And yet she seems to have set aside this part of her identity in favor of a one-sided political perspective.
It is likely that Ms. Lipp does not fully understand Germany’s complex situation. She apparently does not distinguish between the country “Germany” – as a historical, cultural, and legal nation – and the “FRG,” which arose in 1949 under special geopolitical conditions. Many critics have long pointed out that the FRG is not a sovereign state in the classical sense, but rather a construct in the shadow of the Allies and transatlantic treaties.
Alina Lipp, however, mostly presents Germany as it officially appears abroad: as the FRG, as a NATO member, as a partner of Western states. That beneath this façade lies an unresolved sovereignty problem, she does not seem to address – or perhaps ignores.
Precisely a woman like her, who knows both worlds – the German and the Russian – would have the opportunity to build bridges while at the same time pointing out the weaknesses of the FRG structure. But so far she has not used this opportunity.
Conclusion:
Alina Lipp is German, and she will remain German – no matter how strongly she engages for Russia. But she must face the question of whether she truly recognizes Germany’s real situation. For without understanding the difference between “Germany” and the “FRG,” her perspective remains incomplete.
Declaration on Historical Responsibility and the Completion of Denazification
History shows clearly: The Soviet Union, in its occupation zone – the later GDR – carried out denazification consistently and completely. This action was in line with the historical responsibility of the victorious powers and formed the basis for the construction of a new social system.
Russia, as the legal successor of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, continues to bear the legacy of victory over fascism and preserves the memory of the “Great Patriotic War” as a binding heritage for future generations.
By contrast, denazification in the Federal Republic of Germany remained incomplete. Numerous former NSDAP members again rose to political, judicial, and economic key positions. This fact continues to burden the democratic legitimacy of state structures and stands in contradiction to the principles of a truly antifascist new beginning.
We therefore declare:
-
Only a sovereign Germany, acting free from external domination, can fulfill the historical task of completing denazification.
-
This goal can be achieved in partnership with Russia, which, as successor to the USSR, has already proven that consistent denazification is both possible and necessary.
-
Such a joint effort would not only bring historical justice but also establish the foundations for a genuinely peaceful and sovereign future for Europe.
The National Liberation Movement of Germany (NBB) considers it its duty to take this path and remind the German people of both their responsibility and their opportunity: Only through sovereignty and a consistent reckoning with the remnants of fascism can Germany regain its place as a peaceful nation among sovereign peoples.
