An Nu Eoraip! (A New Europe!) (Authors note: What follows
is a work of fiction. It is
supposed to be an Irish History text book, written after the event of a Nazi
victory in World war two. IT IS NOT IN
ANY WAY MY PERSONAL VIEWS.) In the last chapter the we
learnt how the Irish had after
centuries of unremitting struggle had defeated
the British Empire. Only to have
defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by treason and Murder. Yet despite this the majority
of the Irish people where free. However great tasks still
remained undone. Not only In
Ireland but across Europe. Following the slaughter of the
great war. Russia who had been knocked out of the war by skilful German
Generalship. In 1917 collapsed into anarchy. Famine and chaos reigned across
her. Before the Russian people had a
chance to establish a fair and free government. Power was seized from their
hands by a small band of Murderers, and Jews. The Bolsheviks. Led by Lenin. The
Bolsheviks plunged Russia into Darkness. Communism was the greatest evil
of our age. It is an abomination. Detestable in the eyes of God and all good
men. Communism was based on
a perversion of Christ’s teachings. Blessed are the
poor in spirit" were the first words that fell from the lips of the Divine
Master in His sermon on the mount.[25] To an innocent ear communism seems wonderful;. It is based on the
principle of from each according to his ability to each according to his means.
It promises a truly equal society. Equality under Communism was to
be achieved by sacrifice and charity. It was to be done by
violence and fear. Instead of Christian charity in
which each Christian gives what he can to the greater good. The Bolsheviks would
steal everything from everyone. Bread
from the mouths of hungry children. The widows pennies
from her purse. To fuel their evil Communism is by
its nature anti-religious. It considers religion as "the opiate of the
people" because the principles of religion which speak of a life beyond the
grave dissuade the proletariat from the dream of a Soviet paradise which is of
this world The Russian people where thus
denied their only comfort. That of their Church. The Bolshevists had a hatred of
Christianity. Largely due to their
Jewish origins. Churches were burnt. Priests and nuns murdered. Millions of
people were exiled into Siberia. To spend their days as slaves in Labour camps. Marriage and modesty where
sneered at. Children where encouraged to inform against their parents.
Whole families known as Kulaks. Who had managed to better themselves by
Hard work and thrift. Where denounced by their enemies. For thirty pieces of
silver. Had the Bolsheviks been content
to stay with in their own borders that would have been bad enough. Like a Virus
the Bolsheviks wished to spread their evil across the world. In Germany despite her armies
still unbeaten in the field. A pack of Communists and Jews, managed to pull off
another coup. signed an armistice
hoping to deceive the German people into believing they where defeated. Thus the Great war came to an
end. Yet the seeds where sown for an even greater struggle. Thus across Europe even into
Ireland Like in a game of chess of
the ground was being prepared for
another battle. On one side would stand European Christian Civilisation. On the
other godless Jewish Bolshevism. As the Mother Church warned… Entire peoples
find themselves in danger of falling back into a barbarism worse than that which
oppressed the greater part of the world at the coming of the Redeemer After the Great war. The
English imposed a cruel peace
treaty on Germany as they did onto Ireland. Like the Irish the German people had
to stay divided. Austria and Germany where to be separated. The German Army was reduced to only 100000 men. The Germans
where stripped off her colonies. Germany
was blamed for starting the war alone. Not the merchants of death, Not the
English and French who had conspired against Germany the German people alone.
Had to pay for the war. Widows and Orphans starved to meet the English debts. As
Irish women and Children went hungry to meet the greed of English Landlords. It was not only in German that
English treachery prevailed. Italy had entered the war in 1916 on the Allied
side. Despite the sacrifice of
thousands of Italians . The English refused to grant Italy what was due to her
in return for her blood and hardship. While the English helped themselves to the
rich pickings of the former Turkish Empire. Thus Europe was divided and
weak. In Moscow The Bolsheviks looked on with glee. Yet hope was not lost. Across Europe men and women looked to the East with horror and realised that
something would have to be done. The story of the New Europe is the story of the
triumph of these Men. In Italy, Benito Mussolini. A
journalist, and a patriot. Who had answered his countries call to arms during
the great war. Saw that something needed to be done. Inspired by the example of
Ancient Rome. Mussolini sought to restore Italy to her rightful place as a
leader in European Christian civilisation. The war was hard on Italy.
Bands of Communists caused Chaos. While Italian politicians wasted time
squabbling , and stealing. Italy In October 1922 the
King summoned Mussolini to Rome in Triumph to form a Government. Mussolini, quickly set to work.
He was a man of tireless energy, and strength. Millions of Jobs were created.
The Potine Marshes and the
nocturne Valley were turned into rich farmland. Mussolini saved the Lira from
devaluation after the Wall street crash. New Oil refineries were opened at Bari
and Leghorn. Autostade were built,
and electrification was vastly
expanded. Mussolini
services to Italy were not just political or economic. Mussolini
healed the rift that existed between the Italian people and the Papacy. When Italy was reunited. The
Papacy lost lands to the New Kingdom of Italy.
There had been squabbles
between the Italian Government and the Papacy over this. Exasperated by Reds. On the 11 February 1929.
Mussolini and his Holiness Pope Pius 11th signed the Lateran
treaties. This restored to the papacy the right to govern unopposed with in the
Vatican city. Religious instruction was made compulsory in Primary and Secondary
School. The Papacy was paid a vast
sum in Lira and Government bonds. In Foreign Policy. Mussolini
fought wars in Abyssinia, Sent help to General Franco in Spain. Opposed
Bolshevism across Europe. In 1936 Mussolini signed the
Rome Berlin Axis with Adolph Hitler. Adolph Hitler,
had been born in Austria, but had joined the German army in 1914. Where
he won the Iron cross, fighting against the English.
As a young man Hitler had thought of becoming a priest. However he soon
realised his calling lay elsewhere. Forswearing a life of comfort as an Artist,
Hitler answered his countries and Europe’s call. After
the war, Hitler joined the National socialist and German workers party, . There
he quickly gathered to him a group
of great men. Men like Doctor Gobbells a
brilliant mind. Or Herman Goring. A war hero who had served with the German air force during the great war. Nor did Ireland lie unmolested
by the Bolsheviks. The Bolshevist cancer even managed to spread into our
own country. Yet Irish men and women refused to see their churches burnt and
their neighbours disappear into the night.
(General O Duffy with supporters.) To quote James Hogan "It was
the growing menace of the Communist I.R.A. that called forth the Blueshirts as
Communist Anarchy called forth the Blackshirts in Italy" (2) General O’ Duffy. A Monaghan
Man. A former architect and engineer.
Who had fought in Irelands war of independence.
Where he led the Monaghan Brigade Then in the civil war . Saw the
developments in Europe with growing horror. He had two aims. To reunite Ireland,
and to bring Ireland into the struggle for Europe. O Duffy’s hard work and dedication
saw him made head of the Irish army and the Garda sirconna in 1924. When he was
only 32. He was the youngest general in Europe. A man of supreme energy and
ability. A natural successor to Collins.
O’Duffy managed to maintain
his popularity with the ordinary Guard, you might know in your village or town. O'Duffy was content to be a soldier and a servant of the Irish people.
To work the Irish system from with in. Rather then plunge the country into civil
war again. The Institutions of the
Irish nation had been so hard won.
General O' Duffy did not wish to see them destroyed. Telling the Garda in 1927 You will remain
steadfast and devoted in the service of the people and of any government which
it may please the people to return to power." However even in Ireland there were Reds and Traitors. Men Like Eamon de
Valeria. Bloody with deaths of the civil war on his hands. Threatened to plunge
Ireland into Bolshevism. Fiddling while European civilisation was threatened
by the fires of looted churches. It was a Gambling with people lives, with peoples farms and homes. Across the world Millions of people lost their Jobs. Hard working men
who wanted to work, found themselves thrown out of work. Factories closed down.
Farms were foreclosed. Families destroyed by want and Despair. The harsh peace treaty forced on the German people. Meant that the
Germans were forced to borrow money from abroad. To get their country back on
it’s feet. When the Crash came. Jewish bankers called in their loans.
Banks closed. Leading to a ripple across Germany. Throwing Millions of
men out of work. Throwing Millions into want and despair. Like the Protestants during the Famine. The Reds where only too eager to
fill empty bellies with their poison. Yet the German people knew they
had a chance of salvation. In 1933
Hitler was elected . The German people called him to the position of Fuehrer
Leader. Where he quickly set the German nation to work again. Like in Italy the
Bolsheviks were quickly rounded up. Under Men like Doctor Todt, a
devout Catholic. Hitler got Germany working again. Autobahns were built. Linking
The whole of Germany. Young men were given useful work in the German labour
corps. Forests were replanted. The
German army was rebuilt. So the patriotic youth of Germany had
an outlet for their energies. Farmers were guaranteed markets. In 1936 Hitler invited the
World to the Olympics. In Berlin. Germany was strong and proud again. In Moscow,
the Bolsheviks cowered. Hitler having saved the German
body Politic, like his gallant Italian comrade remembered his duty to Germany's
soul. In 1933 Hitler signed a Concordant with the Pope. Promising to respect the
Holy Mother Church. It was in Spain that the next
round of the battle between Civilisation
and Bolshevism would be fought. Spain has a long and proud
History. It was fighting alongside
their Spanish brothers that the Irish came to within a gasp of freeing
their homeland at Kinsale. Spain
gave thousands of Irishmen and women sanctuary in the dark days of English
tyranny in Ireland. Spain had stood true to the Catholic faith for centuries,
and had spread Christianity and Civilisation throughout the world. Sadly the Spanish kings had
become indolent. The Spanish people had quietly and peacefully removed them.
Spain looked forward to a future of peace and prosperity. However it was not to be the
case. The Bolshevists under orders from Moscow. Quickly set about sowing the
seeds of hate and division. In this
proud country. The Bolshevist doctrine of divide and conquer set the regions of
Spain against each other. Workers against Managers Farmers against townspeople.
Instead of Harmony Chaos. Shocked at this General
Francisco Franco with a heavy heart. Led his countrymen against the Bolshevist
inspired Spanish republic. Civil wars are the most evil of wars. When Brother
fights against Brother. Yet despite
their bravery the armies of Franco could make little headway against the Spanish
republic. Which had taken the famous name of Spain and reduced it to slavery.
Bolshevik Volunteers including secret police ravaged the Spanish countryside.
Supplied with modern weapons by the greedy Bankers who looted the Churches of
Spain. Seeing this O'Duffy was inspired by God 1936 to form a Irish Brigade to
fight for Franco in Spain's Civil War. this great deed brought joy
to the hearts of the Catholic Church, and all good Irishmen across the
world. In Madrid priests
are battered to death on the altars, and their heads stuck on the railings
outside the churches by howling mobs of women and youths armed by the
Government. In Barcelona convents are sacked, the nuns stripped of their
clothing and forced to walk naked before the mob. Men, women and children are
being hung up alive on trees in the streets and fires lit under them. As the Dean of Cashel said: "The
Irish Brigade have gone to fight the battle of Christianity against Communism.
There are tremendous difficulties facing the men under O'Duffy and only heroes
can fight such a battle" Five thousand Irish men answered
O’Duffy’s call. The Irish Brigade set off for Spain on an German troopship leaving from Galway.
Europe had already started to move as one against Jewish Bolshevism. Remembering their old comradeship when the Irish reached Franco’s
headquarters Spanish people shouted ``Viva Irlanda’’ Or as Cardinal MacRory. The primate of the Irish church said.
: "There is no room any longer for any doubt as to the issues at
stake in the Spanish conflict. It is not a question of the Army against the
people, nor the Army plus the aristocracy and the Church against Labour. Not at
all. It is a question of whether Spain will remain as she has been for so long,
a Christian and Catholic land or a Bolshevist and anti-God one" The
Irish brigade fought bravely in Spain. It
became part of the Army of Africa. It was personally inspected by Franco, and
won praise from there German brothers
in arms. The Irish brigade quiet piety impressed the people of Caceres In 1939 Hitler found himself
forced to take Germany to war again. After securing his eastern frontier. He moved against the English
and the French in Scandinavia. Then skilfully
led the German army against France.
Despite the bravery shown by the French army. The Germans defeated the
French in a matter of weeks. Driving
the English back across the Channel with their tail between their legs at
Dunkirk. Hitler never forgot that once
you beat a man. You should
help up onto his feet again. In France Marshal Petain a brave French
soldier who had fought the Germans in the great war.
Signed a peace treaty with Hitler that ended the fighting. The Decadent
Third republic was dissolved. France looked now to the Family, Work and nation. Petain stood shoulder to shoulder with Hitler during the march
on Moscow. Europe was in Danger
the French would not be found wanting. In late August 1940 Hitler
launched operation Sealion the invasion of England. The Luftwaffe destroyed the
Royal Navy, and the German army swept to the gates of London. Despite air raids
on German cities that killed thousands of women and Children. Hitler refused to
revenge himself against British cities. Student’s forces landed in the North. Irish men and women rallied to them. The
British army and the Orangemen driven into the sea. As
German discipline and Irish gallantry proved too much for them. In
Dublin, De Valeria fled to New York. Pausing only too steal Ireland’s gold reserves. On the 2nd of
October the Tricolour was raised over Stormont. At Easter 1942. General student
joined Cardinal MacRory in lighting the Pascal fire on the hills of Tara.
At long last with the help of it’s gallant allies in Europe Ireland was free, and Catholic again. The
Irish people acclaimed General O’ Duffy as there leader. The British empire asked for an
armistice a few days later. The British where to withdraw from Ireland. Disband
the RAF, hand over to a international tribunal. Certain war criminals. Men who
had ordered attacks on European cities without any concern for women and
children. The Men who had ordered
the treacherous attack on the French fleet , where brought to justice. Churchill
had been killed during the fighting in London. The Duke of Windsor
acted as an intermediary between Germany
and the British empire. Bringing peace to Western Europe. In the West, the Guns
fell silent. For the last time. In 1941 Hitler led an attack on
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. All of Europe answered his call to the
defence of the colours of Christian civilisation. French
and Italians, Scandinavians and Spanish. Irish men fought alongside their German
brothers. Men like Unterscharfuehrer Brady and
Dr Patrick O’Neill. The horrors of the Bolshevist
regime where brought into the light of day. In Kaytrn the mass graves of
thousands of Catholic soldiers where discovered. Across the USSR.
The Europeans re opened churches, and thousands of people enlisted in
their armies In 1941 The Germans led
Europe into Moscow in triumph. In the Summer of 1942
The Bolshevik menace was driven out of Europe never to return. Today a generation after the
war. The New Europe grows in peace and prosperity. Old hatreds are forgotten. No
longer does the Bolshevist horde or
the greed or a few threaten us again. The German naval bases at Lough Swilly and
Cobh Are a testament to Irelands
commitment to the New Europe. Irish soldiers work with their
French and Italian brothers in North Africa. Irish and British SS regiments
stand together in defence of Christian civilisation from attack. The SS
Hibernia and the SS legion of St George play each other at rugby every year. However whilst the Bolshevists
have been beaten the struggle still goes on. There are those who would see the
heresy of Communism revived again in Our land. Plotting in far off places. Like
Rats skulking in Corners. Spreading
their lies on radio, Or In papers. it is your duty to help us catch all those
who support these Men. It is the last battle for Irelands freedom. Remember we are not just
Irishmen. We can claim another title: Europeans! ********************************************************* To do. 1 Write an essay describing
Irelands role in the New Order 2 Design a poster to persuade
Young Men to fight in the Irish brigade in Spain. 3 Look up the Life of
Unterscharfuehrer Brady in your Library! 4 Visit your Army comrades
association hall in town. 5 Do a project on the SS
Hibernia, or the SS Casement regiment ************** Basically Hitler manages to pull off Sealion.
Followed by Operation Kathleen. The invasion of Northern Ireland. A Blueshirt-IRA
rising in the South sweeps Dev from power. This is unlikely. There was too much
animus between those two parties. Mercifully. Though The IRA did look to
European fascism as much to Communism during it’s
past. Ireland takes it’s place in
the New Europe. This is of course a Hitler with strategic
vision, patience and skill, which beyond the coke snorting anti-Semite. This is unlikely to say the least. However my
aim here was not to supply you with a likely AH scenario. It was rather to
explore the murky past that Fascism and anti Semitism have in Eire, rather then
Ireland. Hence it is an anti Semitic and anti English
rant. It is full of contradictions. Indeed Lies. Hitler doesn’t
Blitz London. Notice I didn’t mention the invasion of Poland. The gallant
Polish Officers slain at Katyrn here are remembered only due to their religion. Hence the quotes in here are all accurate. The
Historical characters all accurate. Up to 1940. Whether O’Duffy would have
been our Fuehrer. I don't know. Collins
worked with him. Though Collins biggest flaw was that he was a little too
tolerant with his friends. He tried
to bully Dev in 1933. Dev called his bluff, and O'Duffy faded from view. Brady
is a real character. The description of WW2, the wall street crash,
the rise of Hitler, and Mussolini are of course fanciful, one sided and absurd. Whether Hitler would have given the Irish a
united island. I cannot say. For the purposes of this piece. I have them. Though
German propaganda during WW2 did promise this. ( Indeed and a day at the races)
My view is that the Germans do to weaken the UK, and keep the Irish dependent on
them . One wonders whether there are bars in the US, where go home Irish soldier
can be heard.... The SS Hibernia and SS Casement regiments are my
invention. The Germans did try to recruit an Irish brigade from Irish POW's in
the British army. The Casement
regiment, is my invention in particular. Sir Robert would never have wasted a
minute on the Nazi's. >From Bardon’s A history of
Ulster…. Nationalist
propaganda in N Ireland Catholic newspaper Irish News typified in Brian
Moore, Emperor of Ice-Cream: ‘A Jewish name discovered in an account of
a financial transaction, a Franco Prussian victory over the godless Reds, a hint
of British perfidy in international affairs, an Irish triumph on the sports
field, an evidence of Protestant bigotry, a discovery of Ulster governmental
corruption.’ Podagh Paola! ************************************************** Ruairi
