Greg Johnson and Matt Parrott interview historian Thomas Goodrich about his book Hellstorm: The Death of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947 (Sheridan, Colorado: Aberdeen Books, 2010). Hellstorm deals with the fate of innocent Germans, primarily women, children, the old, and infirm in the last year and aftermath of World War II.

Topics discussed:

• The systematic terror bombing of German cities during World War II
• The systematic mass rape of German women and girls in the aftermath of the war
• The nautical massacre of tens of thousands of German refugees in the Baltic Sea
• The expulsion of 11 million ethnic Germans from Eastern German provinces and ancient enclaves in Central and Eastern Europe
• The importance of revisionism about World War II for contemporary politics and world peace
• His method of writing history
• His forthcoming book on the destruction and occupation of Japan
• The pervasive dehumanization of the Japanese in American propaganda
• The firebombing and atomic bombing of Japanese cities
• The American practice of making trophies of Japanese body parts
• The sadism of the American Indians in their wars with white settlers
• The present day dehumanization and demonization of Muslims
• How the Allies violated the Geneva Convention far more than the Germans during World War II
• The reason for the continuous vilification of National Socialism
