Subject: German dominance not unintended
Sir,
Mr Millar’s article on Germany and Europe grossly underestimates the extent to which German dominance in Europe was planned. “Might is right in politics and war” said the former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, while the former German Foreign Secretary said “Germany should now get all that Europe and the whole world refused in two world wars – a sort of smooth hegemony over Europe”. While Hitler had said of 1930s Czechoslovakia that they had no choice about joining the Third Reich because “the points are set” so Helmut Kohl used the same metaphor when he promoted the break up of Czechoslovakia in the early 1990s.
Germany’s Euro with its headquarters in Frankfurt is crippling the social and economic fabric of Europe and unelected technocrats were imposed on both the Greeks and the Italians as their “leaders”. Germany’s ruthless treatment of Greece and Cyprus contrasts with Greece’s generous post war aid to Germany after 1945 while the leader of the German Social Democrat party said that Italian democracy had “elected two clowns”.
German Europe has broken up both Czecohoslovakia and Yugoslavia, destroyed 27 national constitutions, 27 national parliaments and 17 central banks and pursued policies of supranational bureaucratic power and anti democratic centralisation all too reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s. We can accept that indibidual German voters did not know what their country was doing but we cannot believe their politicians were so innocent.
Yours etc

The European Union was already full conceived of by the Economic Ministry of the Third Reich in July 1942: this is the PDF link to that Department’s Report (it’s in English) entitled “Europaische Wirtschafts Gemeinschaft” (European Economic Community):

I read it a few years ago and could see how so much had already been achieved, including the deconstructing of Great Britain. I would actually term it a compilation of the National Socialist (Nazi) and International Socialist (Soviet) strategies of Communism. Its goal is, of course, the destruction of nations and national identity in all forms.
Not sure why the above link didn’t work on your page, 1389, but if you Google up:
The European Economic Community – Berlin 1942
you will get the link to the PDF document in English
