Winston Churchill said that the further you look into the past, the further you can see into the future.
Exalting Enemies of World War II
Now to some specific examples of harmful revisionism.
Three recent studies have been issued in the past year that “soften the accepted image of Adolf Hitler, making the Führer appear more human and credible than ever before,”
reported Norman Lebrecht of the Spectator (Oct. 28, 2000).
And as we allow Germany and its dark hour of World War ii to become sunnier in the pages of our history books, we are cozying up to the same country in a foreign-policy agenda that will assuredly bite us soon. We seek the friendship of a German-led European Union—a beast that is already showing its fascist fangs, as we have repeatedly shown in this magazine—yet most are too blind to history to see it. It is this economic, political and military union that is rising on the world scene as a beast that will devour our nation!
In the recent movie Pearl Harbor, in addition to the blatant historical inaccuracies (which Hollywood usually doesn’t mind letting slip by), was the
humanizing of Japan
shifting our view of the harbor’s attackers from warmongers to glory-seeking soldiers.
