After twelve gruelling months surviving Polar bear attacks and being under constant threat of British Commando ambushes, they were ordered to destroy all their scientific and communications equipment.

Bolshevik Polar bears, to be exact.

For a book on this subject, see Wilhem Dege’s War North of 80: The Last German Arctic Weather Station of World War II.

Other events that happened today (September 4):

1891: Fritz Todt, Axis engineer, was born.
1909: Eduard Wirths, chief SS doctor at Auschwitz, was…born…today.
1939: The Third Reich suffered its first assault from the Royal Air Force.
1941: A Reich submarine assaulted a United States warship, the USS Greer. This was one of the earliest instances of a Fascist empire making a move against its Yankee competitor.
1944: The Axis lost the Belgian city of Antwerp to the British 11th Armoured Division, and Finland exited from the war with the Soviet Union. Simultaneously, the Third Reich executed one of its generals, Fritz Erich Fellgiebel, for conspiring against the head of sate.

Capitalism in Decay

Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in !latestagecapitalism@lemmygrad.ml. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.
