LONDON - SECRET GENOCIDE

In the closing stages of the World War II thousands of Nazi sympathizers and their extended families fled central Europe for the safety of allied Italy. Sadly the British army turned them all back and over a hundred thousand people were liquidated in the woods and towns of Slovenia. Their bodies were dumped in hundreds of mass graves. Under the rule of communism even mentioning the slaughter was illegal. Our friend Ben Freeman has produced a book that shines a light on this largely forgotten phase in European history. It contains previously unreleased classified archive information, chilling letters, harrowing interviews with survivors and executioners as well as some beautiful photographs. Get more info here.
