Global Realignment - Battle for the Middle East
As the ongoing Iran-Israel crisis continues into its third week of 2026, with tentative peace terms quickly being dashed by missile strikes from both sides and the US military floating the idea of sending ground forces into Iran, the price of Brent crude oil has nearly doubled and remained elevated as the Straights of Hormuz remain impeded, shutting off over 20% of the worlds petroleum supply. But whether this gets resolved in two months or two years, the long term ramifications are profound: American military hegemony is in deep question as an aircraft carrier withdraws from battle and the supposedly invisible F-35 was hit by a missile strike. American economic power linked to military prowess in the Gulf region via the petrodollar is again in doubt, and sovereignty of the very government which oversees this is in question as the repeated manipulations of Washington by the foreign power of Israel is on course to mark its 25th consecutive year at least since 9/11/2001. Today we are rejoined by military analyst Lance from Lance’s Legion to discuss how these long term currents are likely to shape the evolving geopolitical chessboard into the years to come.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest General Lancehttps://link.space/@LancesLegionYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAioE7UWN_tV6gVFcqQZqPwDVX Publishing - https://www.dvxpublishingcompany.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LancesLegionwith Adam SmithNew: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Joe Kent Reveals All in First Interview Since Resigning as Trump’s Counterterrorism Director, Tucker Carlson (2026) -- Why Is the U.S. Navy Running Out of Tomahawk Cruise Missiles?, Eaglen (2024) - https://www.aei.org/op-eds/why-is-the-u-s-navy-running-out-of-tomahawk-cruise-missiles/- 2025 REPORT TO CONGRESS of the U.S.-CHINA ECONOMIC AND SECURITY REVIEW COMMISSION - https://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/2025-11/2025_Annual_Report_to_Congress.pdf— Graphics — Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Tyranny in Modern America - an Aristotelian Examination of the Managerial State
I was at church the other day. For the past two years that hasn’t been unusual. But what struck me was how leaden the message from the pastor felt. As American and Israeli bombs rained down on Iranian targets - including their supreme leader and a now confirmed schoolhouse for girls - we in the church pews were told America is the richest country in the world, and how we were chosen to serve others - in our community and outside of it. After service, struggling with my difficultly in giving aid to enemies and lobbing missiles at people I don’t consider my enemy while our country has the largest national debt in its history, I spoke to an older gentleman of the Boomer generation whom I’m friends with there. Sharing some of my concerns, we empathized over frustration with our government’s leadership given our shared experience seeing the Iraq and now Iran war, and his in Vietnam. We shook hands and parted ways, but what remains with me was the disconnect I feel from this older generation that many in mine are expressing now. Because of this a recent article by Billionaire Psycho on the Boomer Question resonated with me, and I will read it to you with his permission as part of a special episode on the current state of this nation. We live in extremely troubling times, with a leadership class seemingly incapable of understanding the needs of the people - especially of younger generations - and possibly leading us into a third world war. If I can add anything to the article, I would offer that the failing is not in any one particular generation’s leadership, but that of weak men in general, and to take it upon ourselves to lead us out - not under Boomers - but as one nation, under God.-- Brought to you by --Billionaire Psycho @ThomBrady5:with Adam Smith--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Iran Strike II - Return to the Gulf - After Dark
On February 28th, 2026, the US and Israel launched over 900 air strikes on Iranian air defense and missile sites, after weeks of military buildups in the region, and at the time of this publication has escalated to over 2,000 individual targets struck in the past few days within Iran. Among the casualties was Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and in retaliation Iran launched drone and missile attacks against Tel Aviv and cities and US military bases in the surrounding Gulf States. Opinion around the world was extremely mixed, with many Iranian expats cheering the move, hoping for a return of the Shah, while many others condemned the attacks as flagrant aggression. Where this leads is uncertain, but what is increasingly clear is US President Donald Trump has broken multiple campaign promises not to conduct regime change wars, shown himself to prioritize Zionist interests over concerns at home, and conveniently timed this attack to coincide with hearings of prominent politicians like the Clintons regarding their collusion with sex trafficker and likely Mossad agent Jeffrey Epstein.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Hangi from the PNW Music Project (details coming soon)with Adam Smith and Nick Mason--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c— Graphics —-- References --- US and Israel rewrite history of UN resolution that declared Zionism is racism, Norton (2015) - https://mondoweiss.net/2015/11/resolution-declared-zionism/- As Israeli lawmaker advocates rape of Palestinians, U.N. report details detainee torture, People’s World (2024) - https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/as-israeli-lawmaker-advocates-rape-of-palestinians-u-n-report-details-detainee-torture/- Jungle Strike – Venezuela and Operation Absolute Resolve, Myth of the 20th Century (2026) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2026/01/14/jungle-strike-venezuela-and-operation-absolute-resolve/- INSOMNIA STREAM: JEWSLAVE EDITION, Blackpilled (2026) - https://odysee.com/@Blackpilled:b/INSOMNIA-STREAM--JEWSLAVE-EDITION:c- Videos of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Epstein testimony released by House committee, CBS (2026) - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bill-clinton-hillary-clinton-jeffrey-epstein-depositions-house-oversight-committee/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us- Photos show global reaction to attack on Iran and death of Supreme Leader Khamenei, The Associated Press (2026) - https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/israel-iran-us-explosion-tehran-photos-reaction-6a5013fb2796675af61afc1c5d89effc?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us- WATCH: How traffic dried up in the Strait of Hormuz since the Iran war began, Domonoske (2026) - https://www.npr.org/2026/03/04/nx-s1-5736104/iran-war-oil-trump-israel-strait-hormuz-closed-energy-crisis- Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones lament the ‘unraveling’ of MAGA and Trump, Jones (2026) - https://www.aol.com/articles/nick-fuentes-alex-jones-lament-125720507.html- Is the UK’s intervention in Iran war legal?, Asem (2026) - https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/uk-intervention-iran-war-legal-international-law- Would Regime Change Solve the Iran Challenge? | State of Play, CSIS (2026) - https://www.csis.org/analysis/would-regime-change-solve-iran-challenge-state-play- Perfect Guy Life - https://www.mde.tv/series/pgl Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Concentration - with Germar Rudolf - The World at War - Part XV
It has now been over 80 years since the end of World War II, and at least 50 years since the concept of the Holocaust has entered the mainstream discourse. But Holocaust skepticism - let alone revisionism - is something that remains taboo, and in many European countries is actually illegal. Germar Rudolf, a native of Germany and trained chemist, was imprisoned there for his work on questioning the lack of chemical evidence in the alleged gas chambers in the concentration camps in Germany and occupied Poland in WWII. Now living in the United States, where the free speech laws are more permissive, Mr. Rudolf has dedicated his professional life to writing and organizing scholarly investigations into the forensic and scientific accounts of the Holocaust narrative. As a continuation of our World at War series, Thomas777 rejoins us to give his historical perspective on the topic.(NOTE to listeners: Mr. Rudolf has a lot of knowledge to present, and it is difficult to compress it all into one interview, so we encourage everyone to checkout his written work at his various publications linked to in the show description.)-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Germar Rudolf- https://holocaustencyclopedia.com/- https://holocausthandbooks.com/- https://holocaustacademy.com/- https://x.com/GermarRudolf- https://germarrudolf.comwith Thomas777- Books: https://www.imperiumpress.org/product-page/steelstorm, https://imperiumpress.org/shop/steelstorm-ii/- Thomas’ Podcast - https://realthomas777.substack.com/s/mindphaser-official-podcast-of-the- Telegram - https://t.me/s/WOODPILEDISPATCH- Substack - https://realthomas777.substack.com/- Gumroad - https://7homas777.gumroad.com/- Website - https://7homas777.com/- Thomas’ CashApp - $7homas777- X: https://x.com/ThomasCyr777and Nick Mason and Adam Smith--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- The Trial, Kafka (1925)- The Leuchter Report, Leuchter (1988) - https://dn720001.ca.archive.org/0/items/rapport1e/rapport1e.pdf- David Cole in Auschwitz, Cole (1992) - https://odysee.com/@Got42d:3/cole:082- Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A.

Tribal Future of the West
Nature abhors a vacuum - as the saying goes - but in civilization, people abhor ineffective leadership. When the sovereign cedes its de facto authority when it fails to uphold its de jure responsibilities, rivals step in to fill the void. Historically, this took form in collapsing empires, rival nations, and feuding warlords. Today, we are seeing more decentralized power systems such as multinational corporations and financial networks develop as the central governments of the world fail to keep up with the needs of the common man. Tonight we are joined by Mike Maxwell of Imperium Press to discuss his latest book, ‘Tribal Future of the West’, and how in our near future we’re likely to see a further Balkanization of politics across racial, cultural, and technological lines.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Mike from Imperium Press- Substack - https://imperiumpress.substack.com/- Podcast - https://hearthfireradio.com/- Telegram - @ImperiumPress- Twitter - @imperiumpress1- imperiumpress.orgTribal Future of the West, Maxwell (2025) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/tribal-future-of-the-west/with Adam Smith and Nick Mason--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Bowling Alone, Putnam (2000)- Breeding the Human Herd, Dutton (2023) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/breeding-the-human-herd/- The Cultured Thug Handbook, Maxwell (2024) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2024/12/16/the-cultured-thug-handbook/- Frontier Services Group - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_Services_Group Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Canada - After Dark
Prior to the 1980s and even into the 1990s, Canada represented one of the final frontiers in Western Civilization, relatively untouched by globalization owing to a harsh climate and rugged landscape, geographically isolating it from trade and migration outside of with the United States. But as China entered the World Trade Organization in 2000 and India began a concerted effort to integrate with former and current Commonwealth nations, Canada saw a massive influx of trade and people from these countries and witnessed its demographic balance shift from over 95% European in 1971 to under 57% in 2025. The mass immigration was particularly pronounced under Justin Trudaeu’s ten year reign beginning in 2015, the result of which has seen Canadian wages stagnate and lag behind their American peers to the south.

Jungle Strike - Venezuela and Operation Absolute Resolve
In the aftermath of the United States’ removal of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro on January 3rd, 2026, the world is rife with speculation as to the reasons for the operation, ranging from oil politics, drug interdiction, and broader geopolitical rivalries between the United States and the coalition of global superpowers in the BRICS alliance. Although generally unpopular with Venezuelans residing in the country, the 7 million or so Venezuelan diaspora in the United States has largely expressed support for the removal of Maduro, whom they see as a continuation of failed Chavismo policies that has seen the country’s major economic driver and export of oil go from a production level of 4 million barrels a day in the early 2000s to less than 1 million today and left the country largely insolvent with rampant inflation and corruption.

2025 - Year in Review
Following a wild election in 2024, which included an assassination attempt on then candidate and now President Donald Trump, 2025 was bound to be controversial. Realizing the fears and hopes of millions, the United States began enforcing its borders again, and enacting trade tariffs designed to shore up is dwindling manufacturing base. Geopolitically, attempts were made to wind down the Ukraine war, but other conflicts flared up between India and Pakistan and Iran and Israel. Domestically, the economy continued to hum along on the back of a now extended AI boom, but many people found basic housing unaffordable, and tensions grew as Charlie Kirk was assassinated in front a live audience of students, and citizen journalists showed how complicit and incompetent governments were from the fires in California to the massive fraud in Somalian daycares stealing billions from American taxpayers. Trump’s MAGA, while quick to act in the first 90 days domestically, was slow to respond to many of these real concerns of Americans, and further alienated its base as the administration engaged in two unauthorized attacks on the Iranian nuclear facilities and later on Venezuelan shipping and its president.

The Housing Crisis - with Stormy Waters
In 1980, the median priced home in the United States was equivalent to 3 years of the median annual salary. In 2023, this had risen to 6 years - an effective doubling of real home prices. Despite attempts at lowering interest rates in the past year, wages have not kept up with housing costs, and many Americans are struggling to buy their first home, with almost 20% of Millennials living with their parents today, up from around 10% for young adults in the 1970s. Tonight, returning guest Stormy Waters joins us to discuss how America’s local, state, and national economic policies are deeply tied to the real estate industry, and how reforming this for the better will likely take a cultural and political groundswell from younger generations.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Stormy Waters@NormanDodd_knewhttps://substack.com/@st0rmywaterswith Adam Smith--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- The China Hustle, Rothstein (2017)- The Changing World Order - Why Nations Succeed and Fail, Myth of the 20th Century (2023) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2023/02/21/the-changing-world-order-why-nations-succeed-and-fail/- Shadow Banking - with Stormy Waters - After Dark, Myth of the 20th Century (2025) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2025/02/10/shadow-banking-with-stormy-waters-after-dark/- Dallas Auto Lender For Illegal Aliens Collapses Amid Fraud Allegations, The Dallas Express (2025) - https://dallasexpress.com/business-markets/dallas-auto-lender-for-illegal-aliens-collapses-amid-fraud-allegations/- The Indian Izzat Infection: How a Foreign Honor Code is Dismantling American Tech - https://wolfsheadonline.com/the-indian-izzat-infection-how-a-foreign-honor-code-is-dismantling-american-tech/- Housing Inventory: Median Days on Market in the United States - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEDDAYONMARUS- National debt of China from 1995 to 2030 - https://www.statista.com/statistics/531423/national-debt-of-china/- Japanese government bonds - https://www.tradingview.com/markets/bonds/yield-curve-japan/- Tribeca Developers - https://www.tribecadevelopers.com/tribeca-trump.php- Blood Satellite - https://www.youtube.com/@BloodSatelliteClips/videos— Graphics — Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Fighting for Territory - Lessons from the Spanish Civil War - with Karl Dahl
During the first and second world wars, Spain remained neutral and largely unscathed by the fighting. But between the wars, Spain was embroiled in an internal conflict that quickly drew in foreign powers from the Soviet Union, the fascist world, and the democratic capitalist nations of the West. This Spanish Civil War raged for three years and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure, and revealed to everyone the strategies and tactics that made and broke roughly equally matched forces fighting over deep-seated ideological issues. Karl Dahl, joining us to discuss what happened and how the rightist forces under Francisco Franco managed to pull off a victory by carefully orchestrating different factions and solidifying that victory after the war, applies those lessons to modern day America.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Karl Dahlhttps://x.com/CaudilloDahlbooks:Faction - https://www.amazon.com/Faction-Karl-Dahl/dp/1082596450Faction: With the Crusaders - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CTV28BH7/with Adam Smith--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Mine Were of Trouble, Kemp (1957) - https://thepillarist.com/review-mine-were-of-trouble-peter-kemp-1957-mystery-grove-publishing-2020/- Memorias de la Conspiracion (1931-1936), Lizarza (1986) - https://archive.org/details/memoriasdelacons0000liza- Sons of Anarchy, Sutter (2008)- Carlism and Crisis in Spain - 1931-1939, Blinkhorn (2022) Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe

Nuremberg - The Final Battle - The World at War - Part XIV
In the demolition of Nazi Germany, the first act was a bloody, physically destructive war that lasted less than six years, resulting in ruined cities and millions dead. But the population largely persisted, and in order to make it clear that the Allies’ version of the truth would stand the political test of time, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg tried over 20 German leaders for various political offenses such as “crimes against peace” and “conspiracy to commit aggressive war.” Tonight Thomas 777 rejoins us to delve into the specific cases of some of the most notable defendants like Rudolf Hess and Herman Göring, and how the methods developed in their prosecution are still used today against enemies of the system.The World at War Episodes covered in this episode:25 - “Reckoning (April 1945)” - Post-war Europe including the Alied occupation of Germany, demobilisation, the Nuremberg Trials and the genesis of the Cold War. The episode concludes with summations about the costs and consequences of the war. Interviewees include Charles Bohlen, Stephen Ambrose, Kay Summersby, Lord Avon, W.

Nuremberg - The Reckoning - The World at War - Part XIII
After the bloodiest conflict in history, where all sides piled millions of bodies in burnt-out husks of once great European cities, the victors of WWII decided to prosecute the war further upon the former leaders of their vanquished enemy. In November 1945, mere months after the official surrender of Germany and Japan, the International Military Tribunal convened on the German city of Nuremberg to present evidence of “crimes against humanity” by the Nazi high command. Their guilt was all but predetermined, yet the way in which the American, British, French and Soviet delegations would make their case was far from decided. Tonight we reconvene with Thomas777 to discuss how this trial was planned, organized, and carried out to lay the moral framework for the post-WWII globalist regime that we live in today.The World at War Episodes covered in this episode:25 - “Reckoning (April 1945)” - Post-war Europe including the Alied occupation of Germany, demobilisation, the Nuremberg Trials and the genesis of the Cold War.

The World at War - Part XII - Lend-Lease and the Arsenal of Democracy
Over the course of WWII, the United States, having no territory attacked or taken save a few islands in the Pacific, managed to supply nearly 50% of Britain’s food, almost all of its petroleum, and upwards of 40% of various strategic raw materials and food stuffs the Soviet Union needed in their respective fights with Nazi Germany. This program, authorized almost a year before the attacks on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in late 1941, was entitled Lend-Lease, and by the end of the war funneled 90% of its budget of war material towards the European Theatre - despite America not having been attacked by a European power. Roosevelt wanted war with Germany, and he was going to do it with or without the Japanese attack. Tonight, we are joined by returning guest Dark Enlightenment to discuss how America’s involvement in WWII decisively tipped the scales in favor of an Allied victory, and how unlikely that feat would be possible again in a future war given our current demographic, governance and industrial deficits.The World at War Episodes covered in this episode:7 - “On Our Way: U.S.A. (1939-1942)” - The opposition by factions to the United States of America’s entry into the war, Lend Lease, U-boat attacks on Atlantic convoys and American responses, the mobilization of America after Pearl Harbor, the loss of the Philippines, the Doolittle Raid, Midway and Guadalcanal.

The World at War - Part XI - Kamikaze - Unconditional Surrender
In 1967, director Kihachi Okamoto released the film ‘Japan’s Longest Day’, depicting the pivotal 24 hours the government debated if they would accept the Allies’ terms for surrender in 1945. For context, the movie summarizes Japan’s point of view: “for the first seven months of the war Japan was overwhelmingly dominant. In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Forces gained complete ascendancy in the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and projected their immense military might as far south as Australia. But in the Pacific Theatre, a crucial strategic battle was lost at Midway. From that day forward the power of the Imperial Forces gradually began to wane. It became impossible to maintain the strength of the front-line troops. Eventually, the island of Okinawa was lost to the Allies. B29’s flew from bases at Tinian and Saipan and dropped bombs on 92 cities, starting with Tokyo, reducing them to smoldering plains of rubble. Munitions factories were destroyed one after another. 3,600,000 soldiers had been killed or wounded in the war. 1,470,000 civilians had suffered death or injury at home. The victims of the war, on all sides, exceeded 10,000,000. Japan’s days as a conquering nation were numbered. Plans for the so-called “Operation Olympic” which called for deploying a million Allied troops on Japanese soil were well underway. And according to the Japanese Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Ishiguro, the forecast for Autumn 1945 was the worst harvest since 1931. Except for our farmers, most Japanese are on the brink of death from starvation. Japan has no strength to continue the fight! As a last resort, an Imperial Council was held in which they asked the Emperor himself to decide the matter. At the end of the meeting, the Emperor made the following judgment: “To continue the war any further would be to send the people of our nation to their deaths. I desire a swift end to the war.” At 6:00 a.m., August 10th a telegram was transmitted to the Allies via the neutral countries of Sweden and Switzerland. “With the understanding that the status of the Emperor will not in any way be affected, the terms of the Potsdam Declaration are acceptable.”The World at War Episodes covered in this episode:22 - “Japan (1941-1945)”- Japanese society during wartime and how life is transformed as the country suffers defeats including the Doolittle raid, Midway, the death of lsoroku Yamamoto, the Battle of Saipan, Okinawa and the relentless bombing of Japanese cities. Interviewees include Toshikazu Kase and Naoki Hoshino.23 - “Pacific (February 1942- July 1945)” - Battles on tiny islands in the Pacific, aimed towards the Japanese heartland. Following the bombing of Darwin, the Japanese are turned back at Kokoda, Tarawa, Peleliu, the Philippines, Iwo Jia and finally Okinawa. Interviewees include Butch Voris and Frank Mansor.24 - “The Bomb (February-September 1945)” - The atomic bomb, the ascendency of President Harry Truman, emerging splits in the Allies with Joseph Stalin, the atomic bombings of Hirohima and Nagasaki and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, leading to the surrender of Japan. Interviewees include Toshikazu Kase, Yoshio Kodama, Marquis Koichi Kido, Major General Charles Sweeney, Brigadier General Paul Tibbets, Alger Hiss, W.

The World at War - Part X - Downfall of the Reich (Myth20c - Ep304)
In the final year of WWII, the overwhelming weight of the Allied assault on the Third Reich brought into full focus the severity of Germany’s situation. From the east, the Red Army went from recapturing Soviet territory to advancing into Axis countries. From the west, the successful American and British landings at Normandy help prompt a failed coup attempt on Hitler’s life a month later, and from the air German cities continued to be incinerated - military and civilian populations alike. In the movie ‘Der Untergang’ portraying the final days in Berlin at the Führerbunker, Hitler states “in a war like this, there are no civilians.” From the perspective of the millions of rapes of German women by the Soviets and the American air corps strafing columns of fleeing German refugees - Hitler’s statement appears accurate. Tonight we are rejoined by Thomas777 to discuss the chaotic situation in the German high command in the final months, and the difficult decisions that were made as to how to best lose an increasingly un-winnable war.The World at War Episodes covered in this episode:19 - “Pincers (August 1944- March 1945)” - Operation Dragoon, the liberation of Paris, the Allied occupation of France and the faiture of Operation Market Garden, the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge and the crossing of the Rhine. In the East, the Romanan coup and the Soviet advance through Ukraine to East Prussia. Interviewees include Lieutenant General Brian Horrocks, Wynford Vaughan Thomas, General Sir Kenneth Strong.21 - “Nemesis: Germany (February-May 1945)” - The invasion of Germany by the Allies, the bombing of Dresden, and the events in the Führerbunker during the Battle of Berlin.

The World at War - Part IX - The Nightmare Forest (Myth20c - Ep303)
In 1944, the western and eastern fronts began collapsing on the German Reich, following the capitulation of its ally Italy in 1943 and the successful landing of Allied forces in France in June, 1944. In terms of production, the Allies already outstripped Germany 4 to 1, and with the Wehrmacht allocating upwards of 80% of its men and materiel to the defense against the Red Army in the east, the West Wall remained relatively unprotected. After storming through the Normandy beaches and breaking through the Bocage hedgerows of France, it was this progress and numerical superiority that led the US military into a false sense of security as they entered German land. At the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest in late 1944, the US Army suffered its greatest defeat in terms of loss of life at over 30,000 men killed, and failed to achieve its strategic objective. Often forgotten in history books, this failure was quickly overshadowed by the larger Battle of the Bulge to the south, yet nonetheless offers lessons on mistakes in strategic command. Finally, given current events surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we dedicate the last minutes of the show to him and his family, and reflect on what is means to the ongoing culture war in the United States in the 21st century.The World at War Episodes covered in this episode:19 - Pincers (August 1944- March 1945)-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Thomas777- Books: https://www.imperiumpress.org/product-page/steelstorm, https://imperiumpress.org/shop/steelstorm-ii/ - Thomas’ Podcast - https://realthomas777.substack.com/s/mindphaser-official-podcast-of-the- Steelstorm - https://realthomas777.substack.com/s/steelstorm- Thomas TV - https://www.youtube.com/@7homas7V- Telegram - https://t.me/s/WOODPILEDISPATCH- Substack - https://realthomas777.substack.com/- Gumroad - https://7homas777.gumroad.com/- Website - https://7homas777.com/- Thomas' CashApp - $7homas777- X: https://x.com/ThomasCyr777with Adam SmithNew: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- [email protected] http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Crusade in Europe, Eisenhower (1948)- When Trumpets Fade, Irvin (1998)- Hürtgen Forest - The Longest US Battle On German Soil, War Stories (2025) -— Graphics — Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe
