Even though there have been written many books, monographs and studies on the subject of WW2, there is still much more to discover about it. Leon Kilzer demonstrates in his book entitled Churchill’s Deception – The Dark Secret That Destroyed Nazi Germany the fact that the declassified documents of the Great Powers could reveal important unknown aspects of the WW2.

Churchill’s Maneuvers

Usually, Western European Governments have classified documents for a period of 30 years, however, some countries extended this time to 35 or 40 years. The interest of the historians was aroused when the UK declassified certain strictly confidential documents: the transcripts of the debates in Winston Churchill’s government. Leon Kilzer’s book compiles the results of the study of these “embarrassing” documents, in which he describes academically the way Churchill made Hitler invade the USSR and not the UK.

The Pulitzer winner and journalist Louis C. Kilzer brings to the light British documents that demonstrate Churchill’s unknown-until-now maneuvers which may taint his public memory. The book reveals that prime-minister Churchill convinced the Ministers of his Cabinet to decline the German generals’ multiple offers to assassinate Hitler, in order to stop the war. The transcripts of the British Government’s sessions show how Churchill cynically subjected to approval or disapproval the German offers: “Hitler is just a man who will die sooner or later. The danger for the British Empire is Germany, not Hitler. We must make Hitler attack the USSR, because there’s where he’ll find his end and we’ll dismember Germany. ”

The Fake Hess

The German generals decided to assassinate Hitler in 1939 and 1940, on condition that the UK signed a document which acknowledged its non-intervention in the German civil war that would ensue after the dictator’s disappearance.
