What really happened at the Rhine Meadows Camps? In the world of "narratives," how do we figure that out?

Here are 2 utterly different accounts of what happened in the American-run prisoner of war camps for German soldiers. In one account, about one million German soldiers (out of about 5 million) died of starvation, dehydration, lack of shelter and consequent illnesses. In the other account, a few thousand (out of about 3 million) German prisoners of war died.

The author of the first account, James Bacque, comes across as completely sincere. His book, Other Losses, was published in 1989. The film based on the book was released 25 years after the publication of the book - in 2015, several years before Bacque’s death. Clearly Bacque held to what he wrote in his book, cared about Other Losses enough to make this film, so the story stood a better chance of not being completely lost. The film is complete with interviews with German survivors of the POW camps, plus an interview with an American soldier who was a guard at one of the camps. All these people corroborate Bacque’s claims about the horrific conditions in the camps and the high death rate.

But that does not prove Bacque’s claims about the high death rate are accurate.

A radically different account is presented in The Rhine Meadows Camps - What Really Happened:

The video is from Mark Felton, someone with major credentials:

Dr. Mark Felton is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries.

So, was James Bacque deluded? Or is it that Mark Felton has been taken in by seeming evidence? Or could Felton even be a minor member of the so-called Elite, those out to deceive us?

I have learned that I cannot trust supposed authorities - like about 9/11 - where there is a dominant narrative, a main counter-narrative, and a further counter-narrative starting from facts and more facts. That is just one of many examples.

But that does not mean that all mainstream voices are telling false narratives.

More people have seen Felton’s video (over 2 million) than have seen all the many postings of Other Losses on alternative video sites - where I noticed numbers like 4500 views per posting. Not bad, but way way lower.

Again, this establishes nothing about the accuracy of the very different accounts.

Here is one thing I know, having lived it.

There has been a powerful shame blame game - the shaming of the Germans (and to a lesser degree, the Austrians) for the Holocaust, combined with the glorification of the Allied soldiers: “They gave their lives for freedom.”

And what did the German soldiers and civilians give their lives for, I would ask.

But here the question isn’t, What did they give their lives for? but What happened?

And then the next question can be: How do we find that out, in this world where there is mass deception - including around the recent plandemic and the dangerous injections?

I will, here, stay with one reality I know. That shaming and blaming of the losers - for instance the overwhelming mainstream lies (narrative) about what Germans and Austrians knew during the war about what was happening to the Jews.

I will go on to: What does this instilled shame do to people? And what does it do to people to be on the other side, the side of the shamers?

We have just lived through another massive divide and conquer experience: the injected against the uninjected.

So what do we do? How do we live, so we are not caught in the frenzy while finding and standing strong for facts?

I do not have a nice complete answer. I know one thing that matters is hearing many other voices with a commitment to finding and then going further with the facts. Whether we know these people or not, they are part of our Community-of-the-Like-Minded.
