A Modern-Day Look at Alfred Rosenberg–The writings of Rosenberg are like a fresh breeze blowing over a swampy field, Willis Carto wrote in 2005 when two books of Rosenberg essays were published.
Setting aside for the moment the mysterious death of Francis Parker Yockey (“Ulick Varange”), Alfred Rosenberg is not the only historical figure to be executed for his convictions, but perhaps the most recent one. He was hanged at Nuremberg on October 15, 1946, as a “war criminal.”
Rosenberg did not start any undeclared wars nor was he responsible for killing some 100,000 innocent civilians by raining bombs on them from planes 50,000 feet above the Earth, safely piloted by the uniformed shock police of democracy, nor for blowing up thousands of historical artifacts possessed by the heirs of one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
But he did write a book and various essays which were published in Germany between 1921 and 1945. And the contents of these books were deemed so injurious to the forces of “democracy” that the author was murdered.
Rosenberg’s magnum opus was The Myth of the Twentieth Century, dedicated to “The 2 million German heroes who fell in the First World War for a German life and a German Reich of honor and freedom.” The Myth was translated into English by Mr. Vivian Bird, an Englishman well known to readers of THE BARNES REVIEW. The 454-page, indexed work has a preface by Peter Peel, a transplanted Englishman who lived in Reseda, California at the time the book was first published in English by The Noontide Press, in 1982, and a comprehensive preface by Dr. James Whisker, then a professor of political science at West Virginia University.
