I'm here again with Thomas 777. How are you doing Thomas?

I'm very well Pete. Thanks again.

As I said before, it's a great honor to be able to record these episodes and I think we're doing

God's work in the interest of posterity and historical truth. I'm not saying that to beodramatic. I really do believe that. And yeah, today, what I wanted to get into, we dealt quite a bit with a battlefield situation the last few sessions, which important and I mean as I stipulated I'm certainly not a military veteran and I'm not a military science expert but I do know something about I do know something about, I do know something about the political history of the war, and I drew upon guys who do have expertise and military matters to clarify points of fact that I was not entirely clear on.

So I hope people got a lot out of that.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and I appreciate that.

But you know, again, just I want to kind of reiterate after the fact you know I'm not

military science is not really my wheelhouse but we're gonna get into today

we're gonna return to return to the political situation as the war came to which it's kind of terrible conclusion.

And the it's kind of terrible conclusion.

And the, particularly the political concord

between Washington and Moscow is what gave rise

to the Nuremberg Tribunal and the lesser tribunals like the

dock-out trials of of the men of First SS which is quite a bit lesser known

than the Nuremberg proceedings but it was by no means a foregone conclusion

that these kinds of, you know,

quasi-courts-martial by the Allied authorities is what would you know conclude hostilities and kind of say to set the

foundation for the for the new world order you know quite literally and when I use the term new world order deliberately,

that's not just, that wasn't just some campaign trail neologism that Mr. George Herbert

Walker Bush coined in, you 1988 89 it it was it was conceptually it was it it owed uh it's

it owed uh its origin to the writings of Cordell Hall and Henry Morgenthau, who's an ominous character who we've discussed in earlier episodes as well as Justice Frankfurter and Justice Jackson

who are probably not going to get too much into this episode.
