In November 1918 German armies were still French and Belgian territory, Berlin remained 450 miles from the nearest front, and the German armies were in good battle order. No Allied army had penetrated the western German frontier, and on the Eastern Front, Germany had already won the war against Russia, concluded with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. In the West, Germany had come close to winning the war with the Spring Offensive and was within 12 miles of Paris. – Quote of Adolph Hitler “when out of the cool nights the Allied soldiers already seemed to hear the dull rumble of the advancing storm units of the German army, and with eyes fixed in fear and trepidation awaited the approaching judgment, suddenly a flaming red light arose in Germany, casting its glow into the last shell-hole of the enemy front: at the very moment when the German divisions were receiving their last instructions for the great attack, the general strike broke out in Germany in all of its armaments factories thus depriving the German army of crucial arms and ammunitions. Thousands of German soldiers had to pay for this with their blood”. The instigators of this vilest of all scoundrel tricks of these strikes by Unions in armaments factories were Jews.

The Imperial Naval Command in Kiel under Admiral Franz von Hipper, planned to dispatch the fleet for a Final battle against the British Navy in the English Channel. The sailors revolt started on the Schillig Roads off Wilhelmshaven, where the German fleet had anchored in expectation of a planned battle. During the night from 29 to 30 October 1918 some Jewish crews refused to obey orders. On board of three ships from the Third Navy Squadron some Jewish sailors refused to lift anchor. On board of the battle ships from the First Navy Squadron SMS "Thüringen“ and "Helgoland" outright mutiny and sabotage occurred. As of 4 November delegations of the sailors scattered out to all larger cities in the country with the cry of 'freedom, beauty, and dignity'. Already by 7 November the revolution had seized all larger coastal cities as well as Hanover, Brunswick, Frankfurt and Munich. In Munich a Workers' and Soldiers' Council forced the last King of Bavaria, Ludwig III, to abdicate. And war was over. 9th November, 1918 Germany surrendered and German King Kaiser Wilhelm II was abdicated.  “Freedom, Beauty and dignity are secret words of Jewish secret Society- Freemasons.  

General Erich Friedrich Wilhelm Ludendorff was Chief of German Army staff during World War 1. After the war he wrote a book blaming Jews and Freemasons for Germany’s defeat. - "Annihilation of Freemasonry Through Revelation of its Secrets!".  

You can forgive an enemy but you cannot forget or forgive the Traitor within.
