Censored: Bosnia’s Nazi Past

The “architect” of genocide and the Holocaust Heinrich Himmler reviewing the Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS troops with Karl-Gustav Sauberzweig, the commander of the division, Karl Wolff, Himmler’s liaison to Adolf Hitler an an SS commander himself, and Hermann Fegelein, an SS commander and Adolf Hitler’s brother-in-law after Hitler married Eva Braun.

Bosnia’s Nazi past and role in the genocide of Bosnian and Krajina Serbs, Jews, and Roma during World War II has long been censored and covered-up in the U.S. and the so-called West. Film footage exists, however, of the Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS troops and Imams in the Handschar and Kama Nazi SS Divisions.

German newsreel cameras filmed Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS, reviewing the Bosnian Muslim Handzar Waffen SS Division when it was being formed and trained in Germany.

Moreover, German film footage also exists of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el Husseini, a self-proclaimed leader of the Muslim world, reviewing the Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS troops in Germany. The Grand Mufti is shown giving the Nazi “Heil Hitler!” salute as he inspects Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS troops.

Finally, there is German film footage showing the Grand Mufti meeting with Adolf Hitler in Berlin. The Grand Mufti made common cause with the Nazis, uniting Islamic jihad with Nazi terror. The Grand Mufti was instrumental in forming the Bosnian Muslim Handzar Nazi SS Division. The Nazis formed a second Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS Division called Kama in 1944 and a Kosovar Albanian Muslim Nazi SS Division called Skanderbeg. The connection between Balkan Muslims—Bosnian Muslims and Albanian Muslims—Â with Nazism and the Holocaust has long been censored and suppressed and covered-up in the U.S. and the West. The evidence is right before everyone’s eyes. All one has to do is open one’s eyes. In a democratic and free and open society, why censor and cover-up the past? How does censorship and suppression advance freedom and democracy?
