Nazi resistance leader dies at 98

You "talk" a good game, but lets face it, you are spending all your time on western and jewish media. How pathetic is that?

Instead of "reading between the lines," and filling these spaces with your imagination, you should read actual biographical information about Moltke, for example at wiki. You'll find that his opposition to the crimes of the Nazis, and his sacrifice in this effort, was based on his morality and religious beliefs.

Out of all resisting Wehrmacht officers, many of whom stem from traditional militaristic Prussian families, Moltke was probably the most democratic and humane one. It will be appropriate to keep him and his wife in memory for next generations, along with courageous and wise personalities as were Dietrich Bonhoefer (a theologist, partly educated in the USA, with profound interest for Judaism) or Hans & Sofie Scholl, all brutally executed by the Nazis. Moltke's Centre in today's Poland is a remarkable educational Institute providing opportunities to deepen German-Polish and German-Polish-Jewish relations.

Germany. Military vs. Civilian courage. There's no doubt that the population of Germany during WW2 which numbersd about 70,000,000. One could find pockets of resistance. Under a brutal Dictorship & mass Indoctrination sending fear & terror into the whole country,only a few would be able to go against this regime. Civilian courage,is greater than military courage. A civilian family eg.harbouring refugees,will face day in & day out the fear that their own household or prying neighbours,for a sum of 30 Marks will betray them. Just as it had happened w/Anna Frank's Family. Anna died in a German Concentration Camp. (1945) Objective Historians,will say that more than 80% of the Germans knew about the gassings & burning of people in huge Ovens. Germany! Their Atrocities became known all over the world.A little Jewish girl of three,& mother were shoved into the Gas-Chambers.Miraculously,the girl of 3 came out alive.MaMa!She cried. A huge German bashed her head till she died

"Is this not what we are presently witnessing in Iran?" Wow, sandra! Of all the war troubled area of the world, and the brave resistance to colonial armies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia, YOU choose to cite Iran as an example of resistance? Talk about tunnel vision and selective morality! Chinese Muslims also demonstrated against their oppression by the Chinese government, and almost 200 people got slaughtered on the streets. Did any western nation protest this? Did any western leader express solidarity with these demonstrators? Of course not!

One has to read between the lines to figure it out. Von Moltke is an old Prussian name. Germany lost Prussia to Russia and Poland. Ethnic Germans were expelled from that territory. Google von Moltke, Canaris, etc., and you will see that the "resistance" had a plan to make peace with Allies and continue war against the Soviet Union in the East. The idea was to preserve German war machine and Nazi regime at large - with some minor modifications. The estate - that is turned into a center for Polish youth - is probably on the annexed territory that is now in Poland. It is not like they donated it ...

I remember seing a film about Hans and Sophie Scholl. To know that even in Germany at the time, there were individuals who refused to accept what was happening and even tried to resist. Is this not what we are presently witnessing in Iran?

"Helmuth von Moltke was executed for treason in January 1945." Had Moltke been resisting Americans in Iraq or Afghanistan, he would've been spared the execution and instead his house would've been bombed from the air by an unmanned American aircraft, and his whole family would've been burned beyond recognition! "Freya von Moltke went on to publicize and write about the work of the resistance during World War II." She's luckier than most wives of resistance fighters because most of them don't survive the modern attacks or write about them. I wonder how she, and her offsprings, feel about modern day resistance to American imperialism... Yes I know, there are Americans out there who think that whoever the US kills is guilty - even when the killing is done by remote control. But does it matter, really, if one is killed by Germans or by Americans? At least Mr. Moltke knew why he's being executed. Most Afghani civilians are asleep when American bombs start falling.
