Morganthau Plan

Jewish Professor Frederick Lindemann, author of the Lindemann Plan for the mass murder of German civilians by aerial bombardment, was also an enthusiastic supporter of the “Morganthau Plan,” a plan to dismantle Germany’s industry after the war and reduce Germany to a medieval, peasant society. Morganthau wrote in his diary, p.11, “Germany must be turned into a wasteland, as happened there during the 30-year War.” Morganthau was Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Treasury and a close friend and adviser to Roosevelt. He was also Jewish.

Morganthau’s assistant in the Treasury was the Communist Jew, Harry Dexter White (Weiss). It was actually he, White, who drafted the Morganthau Plan. According to John T. Flynn, in his book, “The Roosevelt Myth,” 1948 and revised in 1956, White was a secret agent of the Soviet Union and served as a conduit for top secret information to the Soviets. (This was proved to be true after perestroika when access was gained to Soviet archives.) According to Flynn, Communists who were totally loyal to the Soviet Union held key positions in every department and agency of the Roosevelt administration, almost all of them Jews, who passed every secret immediately to the Soviets. They also received orders directly from Stalin. One of these Jewish agents of the Soviets, Nathan Silvermaster, who had worked in the Agriculture Department, was appointed by Roosevelt to be the head of the Near East Division of the Board of Economic Welfare. He formed the “Silvermaster Group,” a Soviet spy agency, which consisted of highly placed officials within the Roosevelt administration, including Harry Dexter White. (The Silvermaster Group included Nathan Silvermaster, his wife Helen, Schlomer Adler, Norman Bursler, Frank Coe, Bela Gold, Sonia Steinman Gold, Lauchlin Currie, Irving Kaplan, George Silverman, William Ullman, Anatole Volkov and Harry Dexter White -- all Jews and all Communists, and all highly placed officials within the Roosevelt administration.) White had unlimited access to the most secret information of the government. The “Secret Service” was an agency of the Treasury Department and as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, White had complete inside information, which he assiduously passed to the Jews who controlled the Soviet Union. Harry Dexter White’s personal secretary was a Communist Jewess, Sonia Gold, supplied to him by Nathan Silvermaster.

In the spring of 1944, according to Flynn, the Silvermaster Group in Washington received instructions from the Kremlin outlining Russia’s plan for Germany after surrender. The instructions were clear: destroy Germany’s capacity as an industrial nation and reduce her to the level of a mere agricultural country. The Silvermaster Group passed these instructions on to Harry Dexter White for implementation. White was given the job because of his relationship with Morganthau, and because of Morganthau’s relationship with Roosevelt. White got to work immediately and produced the infamous Morganthau Plan.

The Morganthau Plan called for Germany to be partitioned into small independent states, with part of Germany to go to Russia and parts to other countries, including Poland. Germany’s main industrial centers, including the Saar area, the Ruhr area, and Upper Silesia, were to be internationalized or annexed by neighboring countries. All of Germany’s industrial equipment was to be taken down and shipped to the Soviet Union. What couldn’t be taken away was to be destroyed. The mines were to be destroyed by flooding. The plan called for forcing the German people into slave-labor battalions for the benefit of the victorious allies. Germany was a thoroughly industrialized country. The Morganthau Plan would obviously have resulted in millions of starvation deaths in Germany, as they well knew, and intended.

When Roosevelt left for the Quebec Conference on September 12, 1944 to meet with Prime Minister Churchill, he took neither Secretary of State Hull nor Secretary of War Stimson with him as protocol would have required, but took only his Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hans Morganthau, Jr. and Harry Dexter White. Roosevelt already had some foreknowledge of the Morganthau Plan and knew that Hull and Stimson would stalwartly oppose it, so he left them at home. At the conference, Morganthau and White presented the plan that White had drawn up to Roosevelt and Churchill.

Churchill reacted with anger and indignation when the Plan was presented to him, as did his Foreign Minister Anthony Eden. But in the end, Churchill agreed to the Plan. It was subsequently revealed that Morganthau offered him $6.5 billion in Lend Lease money which Churchill was in no position to refuse. Britain was broke and desperately needed the money, so he withdrew his objections in exchange for the money and the Plan became the doctrine of the Allies.

The final paragraph of the Plan called for withdrawing American and British armed forces out of Germany as soon as possible after the surrender, leaving Germany under the control of the Soviet Union. When Roosevelt returned to Washington, he made no announcement concerning this momentous agreement, and he told neither Hull nor Stimson. They only learned that the Morganthau Plan had been adopted by reading it in the newspapers several days later. They also read that Churchill was to get the $6.5 billion as a quid pro quo for withdrawing his objections to the Plan. Both men called the Plan “blind vengeance,” and both were outraged over it. When they confronted Roosevelt about it, Roosevelt at first denied it. It nevertheless became American and Allied policy.

The Morganthau Plan was actually a Russian Plan. The Kremlin had issued orders to its agent in the American government, Harry Dexter White, who drew up the plan according to the Kremlin’s specifications, then handed it over to Hans Morganthau, Jr., who then presented it to a sick and enfeebled Roosevelt, who then made it American policy. Churchill was bribed to go along. The Jews had prevailed again! The Jews who controlled the Soviet Union had combined their efforts with the Jews who controlled the Roosevelt administration and produced a plan which was enthusiastically embraced by the British Jew Frederick Lindemann, to destroy their nemesis, “Nazi” Germany, completely, and for all time. International Jewry, whether in the Soviet Union, the United States or in Britain, possessed a pathological hatred for the German people and harbored a burning desire for vengeance. They combined their efforts, not in the interest of the countries they represented, but to achieve the aims of world Jewry. Now, they would have their vengeance upon the hated Germans. The Germans, of course, obtained a copy of the Morganthau Plan, a plan for their total destruction, from which they came to understand that they had no choice but to fight on.

In January, 1943, Prime Minister Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt had met at the City of Casablanca, Morocco at what is known as the Casablanca Conference. Joseph Stalin did not attend. The most notable development to come out of the Casablanca Conference was Roosevelt’s proclamation of “unconditional surrender” as the policy of the Allies. Roosevelt and Churchill also decided at the Conference to increase the strategic bombing of German cities. Faced with the demand for unconditional surrender, after which they would be subjected to the destructive and murderous Morgnathau plan, the Germans faced only two options: fight on and be destroyed, or surrender and be destroyed. Fighting on seemed the more honorable path to take.

In the end a watered down version of the Morganthau Plan, known as Joint Chiefs of Staff Directive 1067, or JCS-1067, became the Allied occupational doctrine. JCS-1067 was only slightly less onerous than the original Morganthau Plan.
