Operation Keelhaul was carried out in Northern Italy by British and American forces to repatriate Soviet Armed Forces POWs of the Nazis to the Soviet Union between August 14, 1946 and May 9, 1947. The term has been later applied - specifically after the publication of Julius Epstein's eponymous book - to other Allied acts of often forced repatriation of former residents of the USSR after the ending of World War II that sealed the fate of millions of post-war refugees fleeing eastern Europe.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, by Thomas Woods, was published in December 2004. This book was the first in the Politically Incorrect Guide series published by Regnery Publishing, who view the series as covering topics without consideration for political correctness. The book was a top seller on Amazon.com, reaching No. 2, and was present on The New York Times best-seller list for many weeks.

The book challenges modern notions of American history; the author argues, among other viewpoints, that America's founding fathers were conservatives, the War on Poverty made poverty worse and that hundreds of American liberals had ties to the Soviet Union during the McCarthy Era. It also contests the cost-effectiveness of government projects, especially the Transcontinental Railroad.

  • There are no museums built with tax-money for these victims of WWII. In a society where the status of "victimhood" is POWER, some victims are more hallowed than others, just as in a society of "free and equal citizens" some are plainly MORE "free and equal" than others. History being written by the victors, only the loser must be viewed as guilty. The "exigencies of war", or in this case, 'peace' as continuation of war by other means, can only halo the victor for the stain of "atrocity".

  • @NKVism1 Great comment, thank you. I hope you will subscribe to my channel and check out more of my videos. I have a couple more from this great book and plan to post much more over the next couple months.

  • R.I.P. Volga Germans, my relatives...

  • A lot of the prisoners sent back had never in fact been citizens of the USSR, but were Russian exiles who had left after the Civil War, or their children, and then fought on the side of Germany during WW2. Under the Yalta Agreement non-citizens were not eligible to be returned, but it happened anyway. Stalin wanted revenge on them, and he got it with the help of the Allies.

  • @23729923 Yeah like putting sleeping medicine in their coffee and transporting them on soviet ships near Fort Dix. Very honourable!

  • Excellent, but the Soviet Union is not Russia. I, for example, am Ukrainian and have heard many stories from relatives about this.

  • Read Victims of Yalta by Nikolai Tolstoy. Eden,  Aldington, and the Foreign and Colonial Office were the real instigators; the Yanks behaved much more honourably.
