But for more interesting reading, here are some excerpts from Cobain’s article accompanied by my comments that readers might otherwise miss:

“It was in 2005 during my work as an investigative reporter that I came across a veiled mention of a World War II detention centre known as the London Cage. It took a number of Freedom Of Information requests to the Foreign Office before government files were reluctantly handed over. From these, a sinister world unfolded — of a torture centre that the British military operated throughout the Forties, in complete secrecy… Thousands of Germans passed through the unit that became known as the London Cage, where they were beaten, deprived of sleep and forced to assume stress positions for days at a time.

“So, how can we be sure about the methods used at the London Cage? Because the man who ran it admitted as much — and was hushed up for half-a-century by an establishment fearful of the shame his story would bring on a Britain that had been fighting for honesty, decency and the rule of law.

“That man was Colonel Alexander Scotland, an accepted master in techniques of interrogation. After the war, he wrote a candid account of his activities in his memoirs, in which he recalled how he would muse, on arriving at the Cage each morning: ‘Abandon all hope ye who enter here.’… As was customary before publication, Scotland submitted his manuscript to the War Office for clearance in 1954. Pandemonium erupted. All four copies were seized. All those who knew of its contents were silenced with threats of prosecution under the Official Secrets Act.”

What caused the greatest consternation was his admission that the horrors had continued after the war, when interrogators switched from extracting military intelligence to securing convictions for war crimes. What Cobain does not spell out is this: The interrogators, that is the torturers, began working for the post war prosecutors in Nuremberg whose job was to secure German guilt in its conspiracy for world domination and its genocidal policy, specifically against European Jews. Historians conducting further research into Cobain’s revelations could potentially discover facts that would significantly alter the narrative of the “Good War” not to mention significantly undermine the Holocaust narrative. During his Nuremberg court appearance, the Commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Hoess, testified that about 4 million Jews were killed in his camp, most of them by gassing. Hoess was hung at Nuremberg after signing his testimony made in English, a language he did not speak. It was his testimony that provided the foundation for the narrative of 6 million Jews being killed during the war. By the early 1980’s, historians understood that Hoess’s testimony was wildly incorrect and that less than one million people died in Auschwitz. The memorial plaque at the entrance to the camp was then quietly changed to reflect the new reality. But mainstream Western acceptance of the Holocaust numbers game has not changed. Who today would accept testimony from Guantanamo prisoners extracted by torture as valid in a court of law, much less in public opinion, other than Neanderthals like Bush, Cheney, Obama and their willing functionaries? Well, considering that testimony was similarly wrung out of Nazis at Nuremberg and at other post war trials and was used to convict them for all time of ghastly slaughters of Jews, are all of us who unquestioningly accept this narrative willing to change our perspective so as not to be numbered among those Neanderthals? 

“…. Alexander Scotland, of course, denied allegations of torture, going into the witness box at one trial after another to say his accusers were lying. It was all the more surprising, then, that a few years later he was willing to come clean about the techniques he employed at the London Cage. In his memoirs, he disclosed that a number of men were forced to incriminate themselves. A general was sentenced to death in 1946 after signing a confession at the Cage while, in Scotland’s words, ‘acutely depressed after the various examinations’.

“Appalled by the embarrassment his manuscript would cause if it ever came out, the War Office and the Foreign Office both declared that it would never see the light of day.

“Two years later, however, they were forced to strike a deal with him after he threatened to publish his book abroad. He was told he would never be allowed to recover his original manuscript, but agreement was given to a rewritten version in which every line of incriminating material had been expunged.

“A heavily censored version of The London Cage duly appeared in the bookshops in 1957. But officials at the War Office, and their successors at the Ministry of Defence, remained troubled. 

“Years later, in September 1979, Scotland’s publishers wrote to the Ministry of Defence out of the blue asking for a copy of the original manuscript by the now dead colonel for their archives.

“The request triggered fresh panic as civil servants sought reasons to deny the request. But in the end they quietly deposited a copy in what is now the National Archives at Kew, where it went unnoticed — until I found it a quarter of a century later.

“Is there more to tell about the London Cage? Almost certainly. Even now, some of the MoD’s files on it remain beyond reach. Which means that far worse evidence about torture being used to force false testimony at Nuremberg and other trials is still being concealed. Also, it means that a group of people in positions of power are preventing a true and accurate understanding of WWII and the “Holocaust” from being made known. Why, we may wonder, would they want to prevent that?

“…. With complaints soaring, a British court of inquiry was convened to investigate what had been going at Bad Nenndorf. It concluded that former inmates’ allegations of physical assault were substantially correct. Stephens and four other officers were arrested while Bad Nenndorf was abruptly closed.
