The original volumes in German, and also in the Spanish translation that I have been using, contain thousands of endnotes omitted here. This preliminary translation is only the first step for a more formal translation of Deschner’s magnum opus. I have added some headings as well as several illustrations with footnotes explaining them, as well as brackets translating German or Latin terms. Sometimes, I have omitted the ellipsis between unquoted paragraphs, and even dared to simplify a few phrases. I also replaced many instances of the author’s use of the word ‘pagan’ with terms like ‘Hellenes’, ‘advocates of Greco-Roman culture’, ‘classical culture’ or simply added quotation marks on the word ‘pagan’. Such editorial liberties moved me to use the initials of the author on the present book’s cover instead of his full name. My chosen term, Hellenes, requires some clarification. Those familiar with a pivotal essay of my website The West’s Darkest Hour, the long article ‘Rome against Judea; Judea against Rome’, know that the takeover of the Classical World by the Christians was mainly a takeover by non-Aryans.1 It cannot 5 be more significant, as Deschner writes, that before the introduction of the pejorative term pagan the non-Christians of the Roman Empire were called héllenes and éthne by the treatise writers of the 4th century. The expression hellénon éthne can be translated into modern English as ‘the Greek races’, that is, the white peoples. Therefore, instead of the author’s textual ‘pagan’ I chose the pre-derogatory term in the vernacular of the 4th century, ‘Hellenes’, right before the status of the white peoples was demoted unless they bent their knees to Jewish deities like Yahweh and his son Yeshu. White nationalists claim to be pretty knowledgeable about the Jewish question. But very few are aware that Jewish subversion started with Christianity. Who among the white nationalists knows the real history of Christianity? Who is aware that Christian fanatics destroyed the Greco-Roman world? As Catherine Nixey put it in The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World, a book published in 2017: In a spasm of destruction never seen before—and one that appalled many non-Christians watching it—during the fourth and fifth centuries, the Christian Church demolished, vandalized and melted down a simply staggering quantity of art. Classical statues were knocked from their plinths, defaced, defiled and torn limb from limb. Temples were razed to their foundations and burned to the ground. A temple widely considered to be the most magnificent in the entire empire was levelled. Many of the Parthenon sculptures were attacked, faces were mutilated, hands and limbs were hacked off and gods were decapitated. Some of the finest statues on the whole building were almost certainly smashed off then ground into rubble that was then used to build churches. Books—which were often stored in temples— suffered terribly. The remains of the greatest library in the 1 In addition to Evropa Soberana’s ‘Rome against Judea; Judea against Rome’ in my compilation The Fair Race’s Darkest Hour (also printed by Lulu, Inc., 2020), see also other essays by the same author, especially the articles in that book about the ethnic group of ancient Greeks and Romans. 6 ancient world, a library that had once held perhaps 700,000 volumes, were destroyed in this way by Christians. It was over a millennium before any other library would even come close to its holdings. Virtually all westerners ignore the apocalyptic catastrophe of early Christianity right after Constantine handed over the Roman Empire to his bishops. They know only the martyr myths (see the chapter ‘The Persecution of the Christians’ in this book), the pious legends, and the New Testament fiction they told us as children: subjects also discussed here. The author Karlheinz Deschner (1924-2014) was a liberal German. He spent the first sixty years of his life investigating the history of the Catholic Church before starting the ten volumes of his Kriminalgeschichte series, which only ended at ninety. The series is a more encyclopaedic treatise about the real history of Christianity than Nixey’s single book for the general public. Although Deschner’s knowledge was encyclopaedic, he did not read a book that would change my worldview. I refer to Richard Carrier’s On the Historicity of Jesus, published two months after Deschner died. Following the liberal Christians and secular exegetes, before reading it I assumed that to the New Testament narratives about Jesus, it was enough to subtract miracles and resurrections to give us a more or less historical portrait about the historical Jesus. Carrier’s work shows that all the narratives about Jesus, not just the supernatural, are probably the product of the literary fiction of the evangelist Mark (and those who later edited his gospel: Matthew, Luke and John). I started reading Deschner a couple of decades ago, when I was also a liberal. I would not wake on the Jewish question until a decade ago. But Deschner, like all Germans of our times who aspire to see their books in the bookstores, never woke up. He even criticised the most notorious anti-Semites in early Church history. This said, the difference between Deschner and liberal theologians like Hans Küng (The Church) and conservative historians like Paul Johnson (A History of Christianity) is that Küng and Johnson concealed a great deal of Christianity’s 7 criminal history. It is remarkable how Deschner, a scholar who abandoned the religion of our parents, was capable to see it in a way that Küng, Johnson, and other Christian historians would never dream of. After awakening to the realities of the Christian problem I realised that Deschner’s information, despite his mistaken point of view, can be rescued. It only has to be processed through the filter of someone who is racially awakened. Had Germany won the war, Deschner, who appears here in Nazi uniform when he was young, could have written his history from the National Socialist point of view. German holocausts Three holocausts with millions of victims each have been committed against the Germanic peoples. On my website we have talked about the genocide after 1945 when the Allies killed millions of defenceless Germans (see, e.g., the work of the American Thomas Goodrich). Historically, the genocide committed in Germany during the Thirty Years War is well known, but very few speak out about the other millions of Germans that Emperor Justinian killed in cold blood: the last pages of the present translation. If the white man discovered his history he would suddenly cross what we have been calling the psychological Rubicon. On the contrary: if the white man is currently committing ethno- suicide, it is because the System has lied to him about his history. The favourite method of the System is what we might call lying by omission: for example, not saying a word about what 8 happened in Germany in the late 1940s, or how Christianity was imposed on the white peoples. It was not enough for the Imperial Church to have destroyed the Greco-Roman world in the 4th and 5th centuries. In the 6th century, after the fall of Rome, Justinian, the Emperor of Constantinople went on to commit a direct holocaust against the Aryan race, which by then had already been established in the Italian peninsula. Deschner’s chapter that mentions this holocaust appears in Volume II, Die Spätantike (Late Antiquity), published in 1989. The full translated title is: ‘Late Antiquity. From the Catholic “children emperors” to the extermination of the Arian Vandals and Ostrogoths under Justinian I (527-565)’. These were the two Germanic peoples that the Emperor of Constantinople genocided during his military incursion in Italy and Africa. Anyone wishing to study this period more academically should obtain copies of the original German edition. This book only provides a taste of the flavour of Deschner’s monumental work.
