Egregious[edit]

To use one of my late father's favorite words, this link Hundred Years of War against Germany is egregious and a violation of the rules around here, which do not permit anything to do with the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) to be linked here. To start with, the article is plain wrong in its depiction of Britain from about 1895 onward working for the destruction of the Reich because of alleged envy at German economic success. Everything about that article is wrong from treating articles in The Saturday Review as expressions of British government policy (!), saying that Thomas More's novel 1513 novel Utopia was the "handbook" for British foreign policy from the time of its publication to the present, and the Nuremberg war trials helped to turn Eastern Europe over to Soviet domination. The message of the this very stupid article is that Germany has been unfairly victimised by Britain since the 1890s, and that successive German leaders from Wilhelm II just really wanted to be friends, but those nasty British were intent on ruining everything for Germany. This is a pseudo-historical screed written by an Anglophobic German using the favorite methods of Holocaust deniers, namely very selective use of the historical documents without the slightest regard for context. Moving beyond, CODOH is an organisation whose sole purpose is to promote Holocaust denial. The rules around here say quite clearly that one cannot link to sites maintained by CODOH, the Institute for Historical Review, and any of the other Holocaust denying groups out there. Anything published by CODOH is by definition not scholarly and reliable, and astonishing, the link attached to this article from CODOH has been there since February 2006 without anybody noticing that something was wrong here. It is gone now, but really somebody should have noticed that something was wrong here long before I did --A.S. Brown (talk) 12:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)      [reply]
