Rayelan asked me to go ahead and post this on the Forum. Perhaps if she has time later, she will put up links to some of the old stories that she and Gunther put out to which I am referring. Believe me, this is not "news" to our friend RuMills!

Hi, Raye
Did you catch this story? With a few minor changes (and greatly expand it) this story is part of what you and Gunther were saying almost 10 years ago, isn't it? Sometimes it takes years for the truth to come out ~ everyone should go back and re-read their copy of "Diana, Queen of Heaven". :~)

P.S. Except, of course, instead of "Nazis" it should read "Austrian royalty and world powers"...But then the Nazis were part of the plan.

European Army And Political-Economic Union Were Planned By Nazis

The idea of a pan-European economic and political union with its own defence force was conceived by SS officers according to documents released today to the Public Record Office in Kew.
Maj Gen Ellersiek and Brig Mueller, Hitler's chief of staff during the Battle of the Bulge, came up with the idea as a means of keeping Nazism alive following the expected Allied victory in the Second World War.
By March 1946, Ellersiek was in charge of an underground political party called Organisation Suddeutschland. It believed in the establishment of a fully-armed United Europe, Ellersiek told a British intelligence official masquerading as a Foreign Office representative.
"What was important was that Britain should realise that if Europe was to survive, we should all think 'as Europeans'," the ex-SS man was quoted as saying. The party's manifesto called for "a pan-Europe as a balance between Russia and the USA". Although the European nations would remain "independent", finance and defence matters would be decided centrally.
"The good which was in Nazism still lives in the German heart," Ellersiek said. His party offered "a new revolution for Germany which will set the pattern for Europe". This revolution is to be the work of the new elite, the German prototype of the future rulers of Europe . . . which has emerged purified from Nazism and the trials of war."
The British official noted that German generals seemed likely to be in charge. "Germany must lead this New Europe with the cooperation of Britain," he quoted Ellersiek as saying, adding his own view that: "So little else of Britain is mentioned that it is evident she is to be the junior partner."
The proposed European force has echoes of the current attempts to form European Rapid Reaction Force, controlled by Gen Rainer Schuwirth of Germany. Gen Sir Charles Guthrie, Britain's Chief of the Defence Staff, has implicitly criticised the Germans for not backing their promised contributions with cash, leaving much of the manpower and equipment to be provided by the UK.
