German Police

[#1064]

Hahaha! Now we've seen everything. Clown world indeed. What's the saying... "That which is old shall replace that which is new..." I wonder if these stabbing all over Germany are from the peaceful migrants they are flooding the country with?

Here is a unique interview I did in 2024 for a 'zine released late the same year. I didn't know where the interviewer was from exactly, but knew it was somewhere in Europe. He seemed like a cool, down-to-earth guy, so I was happy to share my thoughts. An interesting 'zine it would be!

First, his location: Åland

99.99999% of you reading this are puzzled hearing this, and I personally knew nothing of the place, beyond the name (it was only vaguely familiar from postage stamp collecting). Geography is fairly interesting to me, so I love to stumble across countries that I've never heard from before, and Åland is quite an interesting little place. Here are some interesting facts:

'Åland is an autonomous and demilitarised region of Finland. Receiving its autonomy by a 1920 decision of the League of Nations, it is the smallest region of Finland by both area (1,580 km2) and population (30,129)... Its only official language is Swedish and the capital city is Mariehamn...

Åland's landmass occupies a total area of 1,527 square kilometres (589+1/2 sq mi). Ninety percent of the population live on Fasta Åland, which is also the site of the capital town of Mariehamn...

Because of the condition of neutrality under the 1921 Convention, the islanders enjoyed safety at sea during World War II, as their merchant fleet sailed both for the Allied countries and for Nazi Germany. Consequently, Åland shipping was not generally attacked, as the various military forces rarely knew which cargo was being carried or to whom.

Åland has its own flag and has issued its own postage stamps since 1984...'

Very intriguing bit regarding WWII. I wonder if there are any history books on their exact role in the war? Probably not in English. I love learning everything I can about the war and it is such a vast subject that you can spend your whole life learning but will always learn something new. There is a reason that there were more books written about WWII than any other subject in the history of man. Too bad many of those books are lies. The victors write the history books. But enough about the war...

Let's look below...

[Below: Reverse of flyer - a band called 'Vapaudenristi', which means 'Cross of Liberty'. I listened to this band online for a second and it sounds like catchy RAC.]

[Below: This odd sticker says 'Tillsammans (Swedish for 'Together'). This uses an Italian WWII poster... May 7, 1945 is the day Germany surrendered to the bloodsoaked tyranny of the Allies. 14:88 is something that becomes more real everyday and is a quote from Mein Kampf popularized by the great martyr David Lane.]
