  • You’re repeating the “clean Wehrmacht” myth. It originated within the German army during the war, and was further spread by the Americans at the Nuremberg trials, and subsequently, to prop up West German military legitimacy during the cold war. It was not until after reunification that popular attention was drawn to the deceit.

    In fact, soldiers were amongst the most fervent Nazis, and had committed many war crimes and crimes against humanity, including willing participation in the Holocaust and the extermination of the Slavic peoples.

    For example, the majority of all German soldiers in the Eastern Front actively participated in mass murder and mass rape, sometimes with a whole army unit participating in the latter. So that’s most of the 10 million Wehrmacht soldiers on the Eastern Front, itself the majority of the 18 million who served in the war altogether.






  • Not quite. He was exonerated by the vaguest of “investigations” which only considered that a complaint came from a racist, and discarded out of hand the concerns of his colleagues about his behaviour. There is growing pressure for Cambridge to mount an independent investigation into the first investigation.

    Arday then hired the elite law firm Carter-Ruck, which has a reputation for SLAPP tactics against journalists, and they succeeded in getting Times Higher Education to spike their own investigatory reporting into him late last year as they prepared a story looking into his fabricating medical research subjects and plagiarising other studies.

    At the time of his death, he was being investigated by Jesus College and Cambridge University in separate proceedings, and Queens University Belfast. This time they were considering the copious evidence that Arday plagiarised from his students and lied about his achievements, rather than focusing on a complainant. Even Carter-Ruck couldn’t suppress the reporting as accusations mounted.
