Irving comments: THIS is unusual
rubbish.
While I was
writing Hitler's
War, Dr Kagan, the chief
U.S. State Department historian
confidentially showed me the captured
German files on Stalin's son -- which
had been removed from the captured files
at Alexandria Virginia, before
microfilming to conceal the reasons why
Jacob Dzhugashvili killed himself (the
reasons were spelled out in the captured
SS documents and did little credit to his
British fellow prisoners).
Further proof of his
captivity will be found in the record of
Hitler's Table Talk, where Hitler
comments on the fact that proof was found
in the son's possession that Stalin was
planning to attack Germany (but Hitler got
his attack, codenamed
BARBAROSSA, in
first.)
There is no limit to
people's gullibility.  |
[source] Historian points
out evidence Stalin's elder son was not in Nazi
camps MOSCOW, May 8 (Itar-Tass) -
Russian and foreign archives,
including the private archive of Stalin's family,
contain tentative evidence to a version of life
story of Stalin's elder son Jacob
Dzhugashvili, which suggests that the man never
was in Nazi captivity, claims the Russian Doctor of
History Sergei Devyatov. Under an official version, 2nd Lieutenant
Dzhugashvili was taken prisoner in July 1941 near
Vitebsk in Byelorussia and spent the next two years
in Nazi concentration camps until his death in
April 1943. "On the basis of data found in Russian and
foreign archives, I can say there're doubts that
Jacob ever got into captivity," Dr Devyatov
said. He made his findings public for the first time
at a recent roundtable conference on publication of
documents on Russian history in the 20th
century. "An unbiased criminalistical testing, including
graphological tests, indicates that, in most
probability, the stories of him being taken captive
were part of an active propaganda by Nazi Germany's
secret services," Dr Devyatov said. "Unfortunately,
we're still unable to get confirmations of this
from foreign archives." "There're about ten photos of Jacob in the
camps, but experts of a research center reporting
to the Russian Defense Industry have analyzed them
and concluded these were products of highly expert
photomontage," he went on saying. "Most probably,
the Germans used some photos found on Jacob's
body." "When the collection of photos was exhausted,
they made an error by producing a mirror-like image
on one photo, where Jacob is shown in a uniform
buttoned rightwards, which is how women button
their clothes," Dr Devyatov said. "One more noteworthy thing is that not a single
camera recording of Jacob in captivity was ever
found," he said. "But the biggest testimony to our
version comes from expert analysis of the records
he ostensibly kept while in the camps." "Jacob's notes and his notebooks dating back to
the period of his studies in a cadet school have
been preserved intact," Dr Devyatov said. "In some
places the handwriting in the camp diaries looks
the similar or quite identical with them.
Obviously, they were made by skillful imposters.
But in other places it doesn't have any semblance
to Jacob's /genuine/ handwriting." "One more very strange thing was his placement
to a camp for non-Soviet POWs. A search in foreign
archives is underway now but the answers we get
from there boil down to confirmations that Jacob
was not kept in one or another camp and there's no
definite data on him." The opinions that Jacob Dzhugashvili's captivity
might have been a mystification on the part of
German secret services have been voiced on various
occasions by some of his relatives. Quite recently,
the same idea could be heard in the television
serial Stalin Live but the response to it was
generally skeptical. Official historiography says Jacob Dzhugashvili
fell prisoner on the frontline near Vitebsk in
early July 1941 after his unit had gotten into
encirclement. Radio Berlin reported the story July
16. According to some sources, he was first placed
to a camp near Hammelburg in Bavaria and moved to a
camp for Polish POWs near Lubeck in spring
1942. The official version also suggests that his
refusal to join the anti-Soviet propaganda campaign
after the Nazi troops' defeat near Stalingrad
resulted in his transition to Sachsenhausen
concentration camp 20 kilometers away from Berlin.
He was taken there at a special order of the SS
chief commander, Heinrich Himmler. Historiographers also said the camp's guard shot
and killed him in April 1943 when he threw himself
on the barbed wire fence surrounding the territory
in an attempt to escape. © ITAR-TASS.
