The intention was that this photograph would make other documents secreted with it seem more authentic. These documents, passed on to German agents after they were found on a body washed up on the coast of Spain (planted by British intelligence) suggested that the Allies were not planning an invasion of southern Europe via Sicily. This led to a weakening of German defence of Sicily which assisted the eventual Allied attack.

Enoch Powell Documentary

John Enoch Powell



The issue of race was to bring Powell in confrontation with Edward Heath.

Powell won the plaudits of many traditional Labour voters, like the London dockers.


Birmingham Born


Born in a thunderstorm in Birmingham in 1912.

His parents were both schoolteachers.

The young John Enoch Powell was so precocious that he was nicknamed "the Professor".


Scholar
 

He won a scholarship to King Edward's Grammar School, Birmingham, where he was known as "scowly Powelly".

He established himself as brilliant at Greek and Latin.

A contemporary at school was Christopher Evans.
"He was fiendishly clever and we were all rather frightened of him, as I think were some of his masters, actually.  He was so good and rather knew it, I think, you know.  And my memory of him is of a rather pale, slightly stooping boy with head thrust forward, rather intense look and serious look in his face.  He was a loner.  A complete loner."
Christopher Evans

"I wasn't different from other children.  I was just as naughty.  I was just as wicked and malevolent."


"I hesitate to remember the depredations which I helped to commit upon the rolling stock of the Midland Railway Company, as we travelled to and from King Edward's, Birmingham."

"Well, I have been known to unscrew the luggage rack ...".
Enoch Powell

Trinity College, Cambridge


Powell went as a classics scholar to Trinity College, Cambridge, the finishing school for future Soviet spies and Tory cabinet ministers, but he was too busy for extramural activities.

"As an undergraduate, I got up at five.  I knew nothing else to do but to work.  I didn't keep a fire in my room.  I worked in an overcoat with my feet in a blanket, because I thought that more conducive to mental effort.  Whether it is so or not, I don't know.  But I did.  I had no social life as an undergraduate."
Enoch Powell

What about as far as women are concerned?

"They didn't exist."

Enoch Powell
 

But you must have seen women at Cambridge.

"Yes, I noticed them."
Enoch Powell

What did you think of them?

"I wondered what they were doing there, because I didn't think they would approach advanced learning in the same mood or manner as a man would."
Enoch Powell

Why did you think that?

"Because the analytical faculties are underdeveloped in women."
Enoch Powell

 

Although he claims he knew no women there, at Cambridge Powell wrote his first book of poems -- some of them highly erotic -- which revealed the intensity of feelings beneath the aesthetic façade. 

XLI

I did not speak, but when I saw you turn
And cross your right leg on your left and fold,
Your hands across your knee, I felt a flow
Of white-hot lava seething up the old
Volcano-shaft.  That self same attitude,
Though not of yours, it was which long ago
Fired me, an innocent, unknowing boy.
And led me on to sin and on to learn
And onwards onto the very fount of woe;
From which returning, evermore pursued ...
Enoch Powell

"It wasn't written to anybody.  It was written as an exercise.  A work of the imagination."
Enoch Powell


WAR DRUMS

Australia | War Drums

When he was 25, Powell flew to Australia.

He'd become professor of Greek at Sydney University.

There his feelings of British nationalism grew as he became convinced that war was inevitable.
 

His poems show he welcomed the prospect of dying fighting for his country, although he believed the [Germans] would win the war.
 
I felt I could hear the German divisions marching across Europe and I could hear this drumming coming through the earth,
and coming up again in Australia where no-one else could hear.



British Army


Powell volunteered when the war began and says he spent the happiest time of his life as a private soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, but he had high military ambitions and was soon rise with record speed through the ranks.

The army had quickly spotted Powell's linguistic and intellectual talents, and he was sent for training as an intelligence officer.

A fellow cadet at Aldershot  ...

"We were a motley crew and Enoch Powell was there.  Didn't pay a great part in sort of boisterous evenings boozing a bit and so on, which obviously young cadets did.

He was conspicuous by lying on his bunk -- by lying on his bed most of the time reading, and it turned out when you asked him, you know, what you're reading, he said:  "Oh, well, I'm reading the bible."  And he said, "If it sounds funny that it's even funnier, because it's in Greek."

He was popular, but we sort of took him as a bit of a nutcase, I suppose."

Sir Hardy Amies
Intelligence Corps 1939-1944

Powell was sent to work with intelligence officer with the Eighth Army in North Africa.

His task was to get inside the mind of the German army commander General Rommel, by deploying his professional skills as a textual critic.

The secret signals sent by Rommel's Afrika Korps were all being intercepted by the British.

There Rommel was known as "the Desert Fox", Professor Powell came to understand more about the general's plans than anyone else in the British Army.

After the British victory at El Alamein, Powell was to become the only private soldier throughout the war to reach the rank of Brigadier.

He was posted to India ...

-------/\/\/


Powell now took up fox hunting and it was in pursuit of the uneatable ...

"Well, I fell in love with someone while I was hunting."

"That failed.  I was not satisfactory."
Enoch Powell

You mean, you wanted to marry her and she turned you down?

"That's right."
Enoch Powell

His love was Barbara Manor Kennedy, a Colonel's daughter from the Shropshire County set.

She was 23; he was 37 and she was the first women he'd ever courted.

Powell dedicated a book of poems to his love, identifying her only as "B".

One of them told of how they parted.



XVII

I dreamt that on a mountain-crest
As in the sheep-cropped grass we lay,
The worlds that ever at my breast ...

You ceased.  The wind that through the sward
With steady-breathing passion swept,
From flower and grass and heather blent
'Amen' to that strange sacrament;
And silent, as it seemed, we wept.
 
Enoch Powell

-------/\/\/

"Well, then I took up with the lady who did marry me and lived happily ever after, I believe one adds."
Enoch Powell
"... his eyes were very blue and he was great fun."
Pamela Powell
Pamela Powell, herself a Colonel's daughter, vividly recalls how the 40-year old Powell proposed.

"We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant and I knew he was going to ask me and, three days later, he did ask me.

And what he actually said, when he was on his bended-knee no less, he actually said to me:  I can't promise you anything except a life of poverty, grinding poverty, and a life totally on the back benches."

Pamela Powell

Her mother had told Pamela Wilson that being married to Enoch would be like going to university every day for the rest of her life.

She relished the prospect but was unprepared for the absent-mindedness of her professor on their return from honeymoon.

Pamela Powell recounts anecdote.

-------/\/\/

NATIONALISM

Powell's political star was soon rising.

The father of two daughters presented an ideal family man image. 

Powell was appointed Treasury Minister and began to be talked of as a future Tory leader, but he resigned from MacMillan's government in protest against increased public spending.

He was a prototype monetarist before Mrs Thatcher was even an MP.

In 1965, with the Tories in opposition, Powell stood for the party leadership against Ted Heath.

Heath won ...

Unlike the bachelor leader, Powell had duties as a father.

By 1968, Enoch Powell had become a recognisable political figure.

Powell was now developing an ideology markedly to the right of Ted Health's, above all on the taboo subject of race.

Powell was alarmed by what he saw as the dangers of coloured immigration to the British nation.

His views seemed to contrast sharply with his professed love for India.

"India is India and England is England.  And an Englishman can have a love for India without wishing to see India on the streets of Birmingham."
Enoch Powell

RIVERS OF BLOOD

Rivers of Blood Speech - transcript.

The issue of Race was to bring Powell in confrontation with Heath.

Powell decided to quote directly from the experiences of immigrants from his white constituents.

Only parts of that polemical speech were filmed, but Powell has kept his original text.

He began by attacking the Labour government's bill that outlawed racial discrimination.

[ ie.  Labour government Race Relations Bill ]

"The discrimination and the deprivation, the sense of alarm and of resentment lie not with the immigrant population but among those among whom they have come and are still coming.   This is why to enact legislation of a kind before parliament of this moment is to risk throwing a match onto gunpowder."
Birmingham, April 1968
Enoch Powell

Powell quoted a letter he said he'd received about an elderly widow living in Wolverhampton, the only white resident left in her street.

He quoted from the letter:  "She is becoming afraid to go out.  Windows are broken, she finds excreta pushed through her letterbox.  When she goes to the shops, she is followed by children, charming, wide-grinning piccaninnies.  They cannot speak English, but one world they know.  "Racialist", they chant."

"Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.  

We must be mad.  

Literally mad as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependants, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant descended population.  

It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre."

Birmingham, April 1968
Enoch Powell

Powell ended the speech with a quote from Virgil, translated from Latin:

"As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding, like the Romans, I seem to see "the river Tiber foaming with much blood.""

A storm broke out in the press.

Press condemnation, [political performance & baying agitators].

[Comment:  stock standard demands to sack politician.  How many times have we seen this intimidation, bullying & hijacking replayed since Powell was sacked by Heath?]

DISMISSED

Enoch Powell
Dismissed by Edward Heath, MP
Opposition Leader (1965-1970)


Edward Heath said:  "I dismissed Mr Powell from the Shadow Cabinet because I believe that his speech was inflammatory and liable to damage race relations in this country.  I am determined to do everything I can to prevent racial problems developing into civil strife, and this means that these questions must be treated with moderation and with toleration."

[ Enoch Powell concludes that Heath was alarmed by the outcry and, sensing danger, ran for cover. ]


In fact, Powell had never made a speech so explicit before, and there was a groundswell of support for him from seemingly unlikely quarters.  The London dockers had demanded his reinstatement and the Smithfield meat porters marched on parliament with a petition. 

"It touched a spring.  A spring which vibrated in the hearts of millions of people in this country. "
Enoch Powell


[Powell subsequently received over 45,000 letters mostly in support.]

The persistent theme of the letters was that Britain was being changed in ways that the writers disliked and feared, without any consultation.




RACISM

"What's wrong with racism.
  
Racism is the basis of a nationality.

Nations are, upon the whole, united by identity with one another; the self-identification of their citizens, and that's normally due to similarities which we regard as racial similarities."
Enoch Powell

Powell's visits to universities across the countries were now regularly disrupted.  He aroused stronger feelings, both pro and anti, than any other politician of his time.

"Too often today, people are ready to tell us "this is not possible, that is not possible".  


I say:  whatever the true interest of our country calls for is always possible."
Enoch Powell
Conservative Party Conference 1968


Powellism

Powellism reached parts of the Tory party which Ted Heath could never reach.

Conservatives under Heath winning in 1970, sealed Enoch Powell's exile.




COMMON MARKET

It was Europe that was to cause the final break between Heath and Powell.

Ted Heath's application for Britain to join the common market aroused Powell's nationalistic feelings, even though, ironically, Powell had himself once been a pro marketeer like Heath.

As the anti-marketeers marched on Number 10, Powell prophesied that our entry into Europe would never happen and the bill to take us in would be defeated.

"I would have done anything to prevent the Conservative party from passing that bill.  I did all I could.  I voted in the lobby against it 106 (one hundred and six) times."

Enoch Powell

Did you not feel any loyalty to the Conservative government?

"My first loyalty is to the people of this country, and I thought they were being deprived behind their backs of something which I believed they valued and still believe they do:  their self-government through parliament."
Enoch Powell


SOVEREIGNTY 

Conservatives had destroyed the self-government of the United Kingdom.

The marketplace romantic has carefully planned the arrangements for his own funeral.

After a service in the chapel of his regiment, he will be buried in full-dress Brigadier's uniform.

Enoch Powell was (and is) exceptional.  What a lovely man.

I found this documentary highly emotive.

History has bearing on WWII; WWII has bearing on 1968; and 1968 has bearing on today.

Immediately after outbreak of WWII, Third Reich Propaganda Ministry obtained musical accompaniment for:

The British Soldier's song
Onward British Soldier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVcNuBtfsQg

It looks as though a Lutz Templin, a violinist in dance orchestras, was also involved in the production of Onward British Conscript.  Hard to make out the translation, so I'm not sure about that.
'bausch' translates to 'ball' / so maybe Bauschke is derived from 'ball'

Erhard Bauschke was an American prisoner of war at the end of WWII.

Upon release, he played in clubs of the US military in Frankfurt am Main.

While loading musical instruments, behind a truck following such a performance, Bauschke was struck by a jeep and killed.

As US General George S. Patton would know, there was a lot of bad drivers occupying German soil back then.

Oh, wait ... Patton was assassinated:

The Telegraph

General George S. Patton was assassinated to silence his criticism of allied war leaders claims new book 
George S. Patton, America's greatest combat general of the Second World War, was assassinated after the conflict with the connivance of US leaders, according to a new book.
By Tim Shipman in Washington

7:16PM GMT 20 Dec 2008

" ... military historian Robert Wilcox claims that OSS head General "Wild Bill" Donovan ordered a highly decorated marksman called Douglas Bazata to silence Patton, who gloried in the nickname "Old Blood and Guts"."

"His book, "Target Patton", contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton's Cadillac and then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his neck while his fellow passengers escaped without a scratch."

"Mr Bazata also suggested that when Patton began to recover from his injuries, US officials turned a blind eye as agents of the NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB, poisoned the general. "
" ... car on display in the Patton museum at Fort Knox is not the one Patton was driving"

COMMENT


Thought this was a really cool WWII musical propaganda find.

The channel also hosts audio of the song 'Onward Conscript Army', which lyricises Britain's obligation to  repay a 'debt of thanks' to its benefactors, international banks; while "Isaac Hore-Belisha" (British War Minister) "will lead you from the rear."   LOL

Hore-Belisha was born as Isaac Leslie Belisha, but he later adopted his senior public servant step-father's surname, Hore, and went with 'Leslie'.
Leslie Hore-Belisha saw action in WWI and attained the rank of major; he was a qualified lawyer (barrister); and was senior writer for the Express newspaper, before being called to the bar. 
His face looks really handsome in this military photo - here.
The Find A Grave entry says Hore-Belisha was 'Britain's Dreyfuss', which refers to a French-Jewish military figure that was discriminated against (from recollection). 
Yes, it was a big scandal 1894-1906, Captain Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason and spent 5 years of a life-sentence in exile at Devil's Island, French Guiana. 
Anti-Semitic demonstrations ensued (Dreyfus was Jewish) and there were anti-Semitic riots in over 25 French cities and several deaths in Algiers, that were associated with this case. 
But it transpired that Dreyfus was wrongly convicted.  The spy giving French secrets to the German embassy was reportedly another officer (Esterhazy, distinguished himself in the Crimean War -  here); there was a cover-up at the top, and there were falsified documents - here
Dreyfus was tried again in 1899 and given a 10 year sentence the second time around, but was pardoned and released.
Eventually, Dreyfus was exonerated in 1906 and reinstated in the French military, before going on to serve in WWI.
Military man, Georges Picquart, was accused of forging the note that was said to have convinced Picquart of the guilt of Esterhazy, and therefore this presumably calls into question the shift of evidence from Drefyus to Esterhazy?
Picquart wound up resigning from the military.  However, the exoneration of Dreyfus also exonerated Picquart, who became French Minister of War in 1906, before returning to the military once again in 1909 - here.
Doubt crept in reading about the Picquart fellow, who was accused of forgery.  Now I'm finding it hard to take any of this at face value.  But after reading about the dodgy sounding Esterhazy, I'm not so confused.  It doesn't sound like Esterhazy was at all principled, so it's not hard to see him as guilty.

Anyway, a version of the German propaganda swing song, Onward Conscript Army, was reportedly sung by the British armed forces themselves, until the then British War Minister, Leslie Hore-Belisha (a subject of the song), banned British troops from singing it.

As British War Minister, Hore-Belisha fired high-ranking British military staff who weren't sufficiently hawkish, while he reportedly doggedly pushed for Britain's entry into war with Germany.  In addition, he pushed for introduction of conscription in 1938.  Conscription was subsequently introduced in early 1939, despite strong political and public opinion against this.

Hore-Belisha alienated those within the British military and probably all those against conscription. Guess that's part and parcel of taking unpopular decisions?
It looks like some serious rift within military command.  Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Pownall on the subject of Hore-Belisha and (I think) the Chief of Imperial Staff, Anglo-Irish Gort (John Standish Surtees Prendergast Vereke, Viscount Gort):

"They could never get on, and you couldn't expect two such wildly different people to do so ; a great gentleman and an obscure, shallow-brained, charlatan, political Jewboy."

Wonder if that means that Hore-Belisha was a political appointment, or if he just wasn't liked? 

Gort is described as having what sounds like maybe an ideal military bearing (but also as kind of dull and preoccupied with minutiae), while Hore Belisha is referred to as 'theatrical' (Dunkirk 1940: Operation Dynamo By Doug Dildy).

Hore-Belisha saw WWI action in France, Flanders and Salonica in what appears to be a rifle brigade, so how 'theatrical' and 'shallow' could he have possibly been?

Click image to ENLARGE

It would help knowing how the military works.  As in, did he start out in the trenches, or was he placed in a privileged position (much like all those titled military commanders probably were), and did he really engage in combat or was he just giving the orders from some tent?

It looks like the British have farmed out public records to some sh*tty scam site that expects you to sign up and pay a subscription fee to view what ought to be made available to the public by the UK authorities themselves.  What a scam.

According to this entry, it was also suggested that Hore-Belisha was more vested in pursuing foreign interests than strictly vested British interests (although there isn't a citation for that).

Without knowing the ins and outs of key WWII facts, it's hard to tell whether that was a fair or unfair appraisal of his motivations.

Due to political pressure,  Hore-Belisha was later marked for removal from his post, and he resigned in due course.  But Britain had already entered WWII.

That was some interesting WWII trivia.

It's mind-blowing listening to the delivery of the political messages of the day, from the voice of the dead -- and the voice of a defunct, defeated state whose spirit lingers even today.

The political humour of yesteryear is rife with charges that also abound today.  Save that nobody's poised to fight Germans.  Spooky.

Listening to this, it seems like Third Reich Germans had a sense of humour:  ... Bye Bye Empire. 

Difficult to believe that KGB forerunner would finish off the assassination of Patton on behalf of the Yankees. I'm not buying that one:  the CIA and their friends have proven more than capable of handling hits themselves.
