THE ALLIED WAR AGAINST FRANCE, 1940–1945
BY ARTHUR KEMP After German forces overwhelmed French defenses in 1940, the Germans offered the French the opportunity to run their own nation. Because France had been a key member of the Allied coalition before the invasion, its willingness to work amicably with the Germans was seen by the Allies as a major betrayal. When it came time to oust the Germans from now-neutral France, the French people were treated as reviled enemies. The Allied attacks on French lands were merciless—and rarely discussed.
CRITIQUING PETER LONGERICH’S CONCLUSIONS ON THE HOLOCAUST
BY JOHN WEAR, J.D. In this issue, TBR researcher John Wear completes his analyses of the testimonies of three “expert witnesses” in the field of Holocaust studies employed by Deborah Lipstadt’s defense team in the defamation case filed against her by historian David Irving. This time, Peter Longerich is in the crosshairs of our res ident Holocaust debunker. Will Longerich’s testimony survive TBR’s critique?
WHY THE MAQUIS SHOULD SHARE BLAME FOR DEATHS AT ORADOUR INTERVIEW WITH VINCENT REYNOUARD
The “massacre at Oradour” is another atrocity tale from World War II that continues to live. Allegedly, a German unit marched into the French town of Oradour-sur-Glane and executed 643 civilians in cold blood as punishment for local Resistance activities. But Vincent Reynouard says the facts just don’t add up.
THE NAZI ORIGINS OF NASA
BY ARTHUR KEMP Proud we are that the United States has flown astronauts around the Moon and back on the recent Artemis mission. But could America have landed men on the Moon or even made it outside Earth’s atmosphere without help from some brilliant Nazi scientists of yore?
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
BY MARC ROLAND The recent Artemis mission has spurred interest in not only the Moon but Mars, as well. Here, TBR condenses billions of years of history in an effort to explain the cataclysmic events that formed Earth’s nearest neighbors.
NAZI GUIDED MISSILE & DRONE TECHNOLOGY STUNNED ALLIES
BY ARTHUR KEMP Significant technological advances in drone technology are changing the way wars are being fought. Both Ukraine and Iran have used drones to level the battlefield, allowing their nations to defend themselves against superpowers—and dish out some serious damage to Russia, the United States, and its Persian Gulf allies. Who do we have to thank for re mote-controlled missiles and prototype drones? Once again, we travel back to Nazi Germany.
THE ‘DUNKIRK MIRACLE’: WAS IT HITLER’S FATAL MISTAKE?
BY JOHN WEAR, J.D. In May 1940, the German military invaded France. By June, the German Blitzkrieg had forced nearly 400,000 British, French, and Belgian soldiers to the sea, with no apparent escape. Hermann Göring’s Luftwaffe was ready to crush any evacuation efforts. Inexplicably, Adolf Hitler permitted more than 338,00 stranded enemy troops to escape to England. Why?
THE AMERICAN REBELLION: AN IMPOSSIBLE WAR
BY MARC ROLAND Two years into the Revolutionary War, British Redcoats were patrolling the streets of major Colonial capitals. Washington’s army was perfecting the art of retreat. After yet another British victory, George III became giddy, sure that the rebellion was dead. Luckily for the Patriots, their sporadic successes were just enough to impress the French king. His financial and military aid would be crucial if the 13 Colonies were to actually defeat John Bull.

A JAM-PACKED ISSUE OF TBR
In this July/August 2026 edition of TBR, you will find an im pressive collection of articles on World War II from a Revisionist perspective. This assemblage includes pieces on the Allied war on France from Arthur Kemp (p. 4), the controversial decision by Adolf Hitler to allow stranded enemy forces to escape the beaches of Dunkirk (p. 54), and the latest information on the killings at Oradour-sur Glane from persecuted Revisionist Vincent Reynouard (p. 26).
We also have an article by researcher John Wear debunking the “expert” testimony of Peter Longerich regarding aspects of the Holocaust that the German Court Historian offered in the David Irving libel action (p. 14). Since American astronauts successfully swung around the Moon and returned safely just a few months or so ago, we also include an article on the origins of NASA, America’s famed space agency. As it turns out, the United States never would have been able to get to outer space, let alone the Moon, without the collaboration of multiple Nazi scientists who were brought to America via Operation Paperclip. Their advanced expertise in missile and rocket technology made it all possible (p. 40).
Currently, in the Ukraine War and the Iran War, we are witnessing how guided missiles and drone technology are changing the face of modern warfare. Gone are the days of massive, massed armies and lumbering aircraft carrier groups. With enough weaponized drones, a smaller nation can have a very good chance of holding off a mightier nation possessing a much larger military. And who do we have to thank for those advances? It’s those Nazi scientists, once again. During WWII, Third Reich engineers actually developed manned drones and, later, unmanned drones that could be controlled remotely by German operators (p. 50).
Speaking of the Artemis mission, its success has also spurred a new interest in Earth’s nearest neighbors. In response, Marc Roland has crafted a short piece on the cataclysmic happenings that formed the Moon and Mars billions of years ago (p. 46).
AMERICA’S 250TH ANNIVERSARY
This July/August issue also contains an inspiring article de tailing America’s improbable victory in what some call “the Im possible War.” Few people realize just how badly America was doing in the early years of the Revolution. There were multiple times the Continental Army came within a hair’s breadth of complete and utter defeat. Despite the setbacks, the Patriots managed to do just enough to impress French King Louis XVI. Most of the American “victories” were strategically meaningless but demonstrated how very irk some the Colonials could be to the British.
No doubt, Louis was also looking for any way to divert British troops and attention away from France and toward the rebellious Revolutionaries. Once the outcome of the Second Battle of Saratoga was determined, King Louis knew that supporting the pesky rebels might be worth the investment in royal ships, sailors, and soldiers, if it could weaken his ancient foe, Britannia.
