| | Dutch Trotskyism in World War II (Part 2) |
 | | Both cases fell within the criterion of the war production formulated by the CRM, but the argument for the defence of the Soviet Union was not mentioned in these articles. | | | The slogan of an immediate end of the war was brought forward as a means to unify a common struggle of German and Dutch workers. | | | Immediately after the war the CRM made contact with the Fourth International, and a manifesto was published in De Rode October. |

| | Bombing of Dresden in World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | He argues that the bombing was a war crime even under the legal standards of the time, because the Allies intended to cause as many civilian casualties as possible. | | | The absence of a direct military presence in the centre of the city, and the devastation known to be caused by firebombing, is regarded by supporters of the war crime position as establishing their case on a prima facie basis. | | | After the war, and especially after German reunification, great efforts were made to rebuild some of Dresden's former landmarks, such as the Frauenkirche, the Semperoper, and the Zwinger. |

| | Lest We Forget - Poland in World War II |
| | Unlike after World War I, where the Allies stood by Poland in the post-war negotiations, retaining her borders and sovereignty, after the end of World War Two, Poland was abandoned, and "given" to the Soviet Union. | | | The United States alone lost over 7000 Merchant Marine vessels, which resulted in loss of life, but worse for the war effort, loss of incredible amounts of materiel. | | | This miscarriage of justice was kept quiet by the Allies, and is widely unknown. |

| | Charles Lindbergh's Noninterventionist Efforts & America First Committee |
| | America First Committee, founded in September 1940, was the most powerful isolationist group in America before the United States entered World War II. | | | His approach was, in effect, more understanding of the Germans (without approving of what they did) and more skeptical of the Allies than the conventional view in the United States. | | | * Drawing on his experiences and observations during four or five years abroad (1935-1939) in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, Charles Lindbergh provided Americans with a portrait of the European war that differed substantially from the one conceived by the Roosevelt administration and by so-called interventionists in the United States. |

| | Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles (the 'war guilt' clause) held Germany solely responsible for waging a war of aggression, and thus for all 'loss and damage' suffered by the Allies during the war and provided the basis for reparations. | | | War crimes as a special legal category have been firmly established by the 1945 Nuremberg Major War Crimes Trials, in which German leaders were prosecuted for war crimes committed during World War II. | | | The chief organizers were the Minister of War Enver, the Minister of the Interior Talaat, and the Minister of the Navy Jemal were all condemned to death for their crimes, however, the verdicts of the courts were not enforced. |
