Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: RIP James Bacque Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust First Published in Inconvenient History Herald of the Victors' Shame: James Bacque, 1929-2019 By John Wear James Bacque died peacefully on September 13, 2019, surrounded by his family after suffering multiple strokes. His wife Elisabeth says James was lucid and listening to the end, and that his sense of humor never failed him. Bacque had a long literary career as a journalist, an editor and a publisher. His first books were novels followed by short stories, history, a biography, essays and a play. His final novel Our Fathers' War portrays World War II from both sides of the conflict. While researching a book about Raoul Laporterie, a French Resistance hero, Bacque interviewed a former German soldier who had become a friend of Laporterie. Laporterie had taken this man, Hans Goertz, and one other, out of a French prison camp in 1946 to give them work as tailors in his chain of stores. Goertz declared that "Laporterie saved my life, because 25% of the men in that camp died in one month." What had they died of? "Starvation, dysentery, disease." Checking as far as possible the records of the camps where Goertz had been confined, Bacque found that it had been one of a group of three in a system of 1,600, all equally bad, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross reports in the French army archives at Vincennes, Paris. Soon Bacque came upon the first hard evidence of mass deaths in U.S.-controlled camps. This evidence was found in army reports under the bland heading "Other Losses." In the spring of 1987, Bacque and Dr. Ernest F. Fischer, Jr., a retired colonel in the U.S. Army and a distinguished army historian, met in Washington, D.C. They worked together over the following months in the National Archives and in the George C. Marshall Foundation in Lexington, Virginia, piecing together the evidence they uncovered. In the United States National Archives on Pennsylvania Avenue, Bacque found the documents with the heading Weekly Prisoner of War and Disarmed Enemy Forces Report. In each report was the heading "Other Losses," which resembled the statistics he had seen in France. Bacque reviewed these reports with Col. Philip S. Lauben, who had been chief of the German Affairs Branch of Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force in charge of prisoner transfers and repatriation. Bacque and Lauben went over the headings in the reports one by one until they got to the heading Other Losses. Lauben said, "It means deaths and escapes." When Bacque asked how many escapes, Lauben answered "Very, very minor." Bacque later learned that the escapes were less than one-tenth of 1%.[1]...... Poster Comment: What a great man -- didn't one of you recently post something on him? Couldn't find it thru the search box. Bacque was a true hero of historiography for all time, since the jew plague seems to be eternal. Without this author, nobody would have known about Eisenhower's holocausting of millions of German veterans AFTER WW2 -- trapping them in pens and denying them food, water, medicine, change of clothing and any shelter at all, left to die as if marooned on some forgotten sand island. This for the crime of losing a war and being the race the Chosen hate the most. Just think of it -- millions of young men with their whole lives before them. It's outright genocide, no less than China's sterilizing of Uighur women right now, or DC's treatment of countries hated and feared by Israel. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
