October ’44 — The Liberation of Nemmersdorf
Written by Markus Pruss
Illustrated by Paul Freytag
Translated by Nils Wegner
Dresden: Hydra Comics, 2023
In February 2023, German comics publisher Hydra Comics released their first historical piece: Oktober ’44 — Die Befreiung von Nemmersdorf (October ’44 — The Liberation of Nemmersdorf).

I have been watching 1970s Nazisploitation movies lately. This started when, on a whim, I thought it would be funny to write a review of Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, which is one of those movies that everyone has heard of — because, credit where it’s due, it is one hell of a name — but which very few people have ever actually seen. Nonetheless, you still hear people drop the name as a punchline all the time. If some conservative bimbo offers a milquetoast take that is mildly critical of Black Lives Matter, someone will inevitably say, “Who does she think she is, Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS?” So I thought I’d watch it just to know where the joke came from.

The following is the text of Gregory Hood’s opening statement in the “Ethnonationalism vs. Imperialism” debate with Greg Johnson that was held at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. Dr. Johnson’s opening statement, which preceded this one, can be read here.
It’s not a question of whether you want to live in an imperium or not. You’re going to live under an imperial rule of some kind. The only question is whose it’s going to be. (more…)

Military mid-level management
McCormick’s military career couldn’t be replicated today. In today’s United States military, either a college student is recruited to take classes in military leadership, or an enlisted man is selected to attend officer candidate school. Then, after 12 years of service, he may be promoted to Major. At no time during those 12 years can the soldier leave the service, and he must serve in a series of specific jobs. Any deviation from the norm means no promotion. (more…)

All of us at Heritage & Destiny were saddened to hear of the recent death of Dr. Roger Pearson, who was a long-standing subscriber to H&D magazine — in fact he was our eldest subscriber, aged 95, when he died in Washington, DC in January.
Dr. Pearson was a true English gentleman in every sense. He was born in London in 1927, but spent much of his childhood in Yorkshire. In October 1944, towards the end of the Second World War, he joined the British Army, despite his entitlement to exemption from military service to attend university after completing his Higher School Certificate examinations.

One hundred thousand unwilling guests went once a day to dine.
We weren’t at all prepared for them; facilities were crude —
barbed wire and machine guns, and a scarcity of food. (more…)

As the Chinese proverb goes, “Do someone a favor, and they’ll never forgive you.”
When he was but a wee beardless lad of only ten, the Iranian-born Behzad Karim Khani and his family successfully applied for refugee status and left Iran for Germany. He grew up to resemble the Happy Merchant, if someone had dipped him in urine. (more…)
