Saturday quiz

Well, this week 7/10 (two of which being “educated” guesses), thus trumping the 3/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 5, and 7.

The bad-joke “Talk TV” online-only “television” channel, which not only crowed along with the malicious lying and perjuring Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” after my 2023 free speech trial and subsequent 2024 sentencing, but tweeted (completely wrongly and, indeed, libellously) that I had been “imprisoned“. In fact the penalty imposed on me was both a financial one (amounting to over £700), and also a fairly brief (in the event) and not too onerous “community order”: see

“Talk TV” is an Israel-lobby front, and often invites the liar and perjurer Stephen Silverman, of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake “charity”, a volunteer arm (some of them are paid, in fact) of the Israeli Embassy in London.

Reverting to the Reform/Restore situation, my attitude to Restore is not very different to how I see Reform, i.e. a useful tool in moving the overall Overton Window, meaning moving the general weight or bias of public opinion. Even if Reform or Restore were to win a general election, the (((usual fix))) is already in, certainly in Reform, and possibly soon in Restore.

What matters is not the next GE, or which party “wins”, but what happens when the party that wins that GE is unable to improve the degenerating situation in this country, and so loses both credibility and control. Then…

Good point(s).

For over 30 years, living standards in the corrupt and shambolic Ukrainian fake state have been declining. Only now, and only in the regions under Russian rule, are they starting to improve.

[“NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read

— Andy Burnham is planning to move quickly after Makerfield to secure a coronation. His supporters think John Healey’s resignation kills off Keir Starmer’s chances of survival. They think Wes Streeting and Al Carns don’t have the numbers, and that Burnham can quickly get 250+ Labour MPs and most of the cabinet to back him.

— Starmer insists he’ll fight, but the question is what the cabinet does. Burnham’s supporters want them to tell the PM to agree a handover. Before Healey resigned, Starmer’s allies hoped he could battle on because most of the cabinet would back him to stay. Aides suggest the calculus is changing and Healey’s brutal exit makes it more likely they tell Starmer it’s over.

— Even Starmer loyalists are very critical of the PM. They wish he’d been bolder, found the defence money from welfare, net zero or elsewhere, and sacked Ed Miliband. Several allies say they can’t believe Miliband and Shabana Mahmood (who they say privately plotted with Burnham and Miliband to oust Starmer) are still in the cabinet, but Healey isn’t. One says that’s the final evidence of his lack of authority, political judgment and decision-making ability.

— Starmer’s relationship with Rachel Reeves has been tested to the limit. Her resistance led Starmer to renege on his Munich speech and overrule Healey and Jonathan Powell. She effectively buried his survival strategy of focusing on security. Reeves allies argue it’s her job to make the numbers add up and if Starmer wanted more money for defence he could have imposed more departmental cuts but was unwilling.

— Burnham will not keep Reeves on as his chancellor, despite her allies pitching her to stay. Reappointing her would not be the change he’s promising, one Burnham supporter says. They say they spoke to Reeves around the locals and came away believing she would help them persuade Starmer to go, but she didn’t follow through.

— The turmoil is rattling UK allies. European diplomats contacted British counterparts in recent days complaining about the uncertainty over the UK’s defence spending plans, the slow pace of the uplift and Healey’s departure. They’ve also asked for information about Burnham’s plans for foreign policy and defence but got no answer.

— If Burnham does become PM he’ll face the same problems. His critics say he’s never uttered a word of substance on defence or foreign policy, shows no interest in it and has no plan. It is not impossible that in the next few months the British PM has to join negotiations with Putin over Ukraine. “Can you imagine Burnham doing that?” asks one official, especially with Powell likely to leave with Starmer.

— Starmer’s chaos also distracted from what might otherwise have been a bad week for Burnham. He got away with his WASPI gaffe thanks to Healey. Labour MPs are also critical of his plans on immigration. One aide said his proposal to end asylum hotel contracts and move responsibility for housing migrants to local authorities is amateurish and toxic.

— It all leaves Labour MPs in a state of total despair. Starmer looks finished but Burnham has no obvious plan and keeps making basic mistakes that foreshadow another troubled premiership, one said. If Burnham loses Makerfield, Labour appears to have no other options.“]

Interesting, but fails to make the point that any money spent on “defence” at this point is simply money thrown away.

The “threats” to our country and society do not come from Russia, not at all (that’s just msm propaganda nonsense) but from demographic change, the change from being a relatively civilized white European society to a multikulti dystopian mess, an approaching near-anarchy made worse by falling living standards and migration invasion.

Our animal friends.

Ed Miliband. That crazy Jew.

Incidentally, I have never found an answer as to where the family money came from. I have tried to analyze it on the blog previously. We are told that the Miliband father arrived in the UK during the early stages of WW2, young and as a “penniless” “refugee” who had lost his family wealth by reason of the “Nazis”. However, not long after WW2, in the 1950s, certainly by the early 1960s, the family (mother was also supposedly a “refugee”) was in a house in expensive Primrose Hill, and then in —really?— The Boltons, Kensington, one of the most expensive addresses in the country.

Did the Milibands, like so many Jews, have money secreted overseas/offshore? We do not know. What about today, in 2026?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Miliband

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Kozak

I remember that, sometime around 2010 or 2012, Jeremy Paxman interviewed Ed Miliband, and made an oblique reference to the Miliband family wealth, but Miliband deflected and tried to laugh it off.

Many of Britain’s ultra-wealthy have considerable funds offshore.

Actually, on a personal and not directly-related point, I remember being told, prior to a flying visit to Liechtenstein in 2002, that the person I was flying out to see (you have to fly to Zurich and then drive to Vaduz, which takes another ~2-hours), a quintessentially-English-named Mr. Jeeves, who was in the offshore industry and was also the Honorary Consul (British Consul) in Liechtenstein, was also an agent of, or at least source for, SIS.

Mr. Jeeves apparently dealt with large amounts of offshore (i.e. tax-avoiding) monies on behalf of some very or ultra-wealthy British people, including the then Queen (Elizabeth II) and Mick Jagger. So I was told, anyway.

Looking up today, online, the global Jeeves Group, though, I notice that the person I went to see in 2002 is not now directly involved in operating the organization; he and his brother were at least in their sixties, I should imagine, and may well be deceased, 24 years after I met one of them.

Wouldn’t those “antifa” cretins get a massive shock if [REDACTED BY REASON OF UK POLICE-STATE CENSORSHIP]…

[“The British People are fully on board with deporting all illegal migrants. Good.

Now it’s time to turn to the reality that legal migration is the far bigger problem.

There are approx 14 million third-world descent migrants in Great Britain.

If we do not urgently reverse legal migration, we will soon become a minority in our homeland. We are already a minority in a quarter of schools.

Some might say that remigration is extreme, but I would argue that being willing to give up our only homeland is far, far more extreme.

Without the Native British People, there is no Britain.“]

Losing“? That boat sailed long ago, Goodwin. A major factor has been the promotion of mass immigration for 80+ years (mostly, though not entirely, by the Jewish element in politics, law, and the mainstream media).

Only wading through very unpleasant swamps will now save the British people, and I doubt that Reform UK is up to what may need to be done.

[“What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process:

-an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast
-while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life

-then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either
-while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was rped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan -while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for rpe
-while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12
-and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run
-and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley.

That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK.”]

A couple of point: first, the “Bulgarians” mentioned were almost certainly Gypsies from Bulgaria, not ethnic Bulgarians. Bulgarians, like Romanians, are often tarred, very wrongly, with the brush that should be reserved for the Gypsy element from both countries.

Second, why does Goodwin never mention the fact that Jews such as now-dismissed p/t judge, barrister Simon Myerson of Leeds, have actually set up “charities” to import more Afghans etc?

In fact, Goodwin always avoids criticism of Israel and of any Jews (with the exception of the Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, but Polanski is one of those Jews other Jews love to hate).

In my view, one element that really does need to be addressed, urgently, by Government in the UK is not black or brown (etc)— the nasty Irish-origined tinker/”traveller” element. In fact, properly “addressing” that problem might encourage some of the blacks and browns (etc) to depart “voluntarily”.

Apocalypse Now

Saw a long recording of the final director’s cut of the famous film, Apocalypse Now. More than impressive, and makes much more sense than the usual much-cut-down version that I have seen in the past.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now#Apocalypse_Now_Final_Cut

Quite many films have been butchered; to what extent, you only understand once you see fuller versions: The Wicker Man (1973) is far far better in the rather longer versions. I once had a copy of the Director’s Cut version.

Same goes for Taxi Driver:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver

One film that I thought only just made sense when I first saw it in France is Les Rivieres pourpres. I read later that the director had cut out a high proportion of the film as originally made; as far as I know, no longer cut exists in the public domain.

Look at them. As I suspected, not “Bulgarians” but Gypsies from Bulgaria.

Now, those little Scottish girls have been vindicated, the Gypsies convicted, and Police Scotland (and Humza Yusaf) shamed (yet again).

All the msm etc are talking about the Makerfield by-election as if the whole future of the UK rests on it. No, because even if Burnham wins, which is now probable though not certain, he has, and Labour has, nothing much in the tank. Same-old, really.

Good point.

People are getting desperate for a real Britain and a real British political vehicle. Unconsciously, they want social nationalism but are, by reason of a century of mostly Jewish anti-“Nazi” propaganda, mostly completely unaware of that.

I believe the graph. When I was in the Caribbean, I was told that, if a local (i.e. black) man marries a woman with existing teenage or even pre-teen daughters, it is almost expected that the girls come with their mother as a kind of sexual package deal for the man.

Incidentally, why do so many “woke” cretins not understand “per capita“? Must be an educational failure.

Not hard to believe at all. It is simply that Starmer-stein has outlived his usefulness by reason of not only his own incompetence but also that of his entire Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet.

By reason of Starmer’s failing credibility, the organ-grinders need a new monkey to draw in the punters…Arise, Andy Burnham…

Oh, I see that System mouthpiece and “asset” Paul Mason is there too. What a surprise…(use the search box on the blog to see my assessments of Mason).

Always. The “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, for example, has repeated “form” for claiming thousands on the streets at their events, when the true number has, at times, been no more than 100 or even 50.

I repost that tweet despite the individual in question having repeatedly tweeted against me a decade ago. #MoralHighGround.

[view of Berchtesgaden, Bavarian Alps]

[“Major General of the German Bundeswehr Christian Freuding stated in a widely circulated statement that Moscow is striving to achieve the capability to simultaneously launch 2,000 drones and emphasized that intercepting Shahed-type drones, costing 30,000–50,000 euros each, with Patriot surface-to-air missiles, costing over 5 million euros per unit, is not economically efficient. At the same time, the German general noted that the most effective way to counter Russia is deep retaliatory strikes — on Russian bases, airfields, aircraft, defense factories, and production facilities.“]

Exactly the sort of twit who might trigger a third massive war in Europe, which would leave Germany once again devastated, this time even worse than in the 1940s.

NATO seems to be run these days by know-nothing “chocolate soldiers”.

As Russian forces slowly advance across eastern Ukraine, the Kiev regime is in turmoil. They know they are losing.

More Israeli war crimes.

Well, after Israel is defeated, those brutal and sadistic Israeli Jew military personnel who have targeted women and children must be “tried” and —after a “fair trial”, of course— hanged, as happened after WW2 at Nuremberg and elsewhere. Fair’s fair, after all…

“Deport“? No…I think that a wall and a squad should be able to finish this.

Another one who needs a wall and a squad to finish him off.

I discussed Israel-lobby puppet and fake “conservative”, Iain Dale, on yesterday’s blog. Poses as a political commentator, but knows nothing, just nothing.

“A national embarrassment“? That might be one way to describe Ian Austin himself, a former expenses-cheat MP, nominally “Labour” but “elevated” to the degraded life peerage by “Boris”-idiot.

Austin, a complete puppet of the Israelis and the Jewish lobby, apparently tweeted (I have screenshots, apparently genuine, and blogged using them years ago, and have never been sued, nor even threatened with action, by Austin) to the effect that bestiality pornography should be decriminalized. Hard to believe that he is now in the House of Lords, but that old institution is now so degraded that it really should be shut down.

I blogged about the matter a few times nearly 4 years ago, e.g.

That view of Austin’s was then discussed, sympathetically (!), on Twitter/X, by another Israel-lobby person, the Daily Mail scribbler, Sabrina Miller, who was involved with a few of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] scams, such as the Mark Lewis/Mandy Blumenthal stunt against black comedian Reginald D. Hunter at the Edinburgh Fringe last year (2024).

In fact, Sabrina Miller went even further than Ian Austin. He “only” wanted to decriminalize bestiality pornography; she thinks that bestiality itself should be decriminalized! See: https://web.archive.org/web/20210608011817/https:/fleajournal.com/summer-2020/rough-why-we-should-legalise-bestiality-wait-hear-me-out-its-not-as-crazy-as-you-think

Sabrina Miller was also one of the Jewish students at Bristol University who contrived to get anti-Israel academic Dr. David Miller sacked from the University (unlawfully, as it turned out; he later recovered substantial damages at an employment tribunal), another “CAA” conspiracy.

Both Reginald D. Hunter and Dr. Miller are now facing a different form of “CAA” scam— private criminal prosecutions. I hope that they not only secure acquittals but also secure substantial costs, as would be their right.

Incidentally, Austin (now, ludicrously, “lord” Austin) took part in conspiratorial discussions over years, trying to have me prosecuted re. my one time Twitter account (it was closed down by Twitter in 2018, at the behest, once again, of the Jewish lobby). He even wrote to the then Director of Public Prosecutions about me, demanding that I be prosecuted. In 2018, apparently. “They” and their puppets hate free speech.

Poundshop police state (and, yes, “they” are behind much of it…)

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/17/armed-police-threatened-to-arrest-kent-protester-for-holding-palestinian-flag

Armed police threatened a peaceful protester with arrest under the Terrorism Act for holding a Palestinian flag and having signs saying “Free Gaza” and “Israel is committing genocide”, accusing her of supporting a proscribed organisation.

In the encounter, which she filmed, one officer told her: “Mentioning freedom of Gaza, Israel, genocide, all of that all come under proscribed groups, which are terror groups that have been dictated by the government.”

He went on to say that the phrase “Free Gaza” was “supportive of Palestine Action”, adding it was an offence “to express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation, namely Palestine Action is an offence under section 12(1A) of the Terrorism Act”. The officer told her she had committed that offence.

Speaking to the Guardian, Murton said: “I don’t see how anything I was wearing, how anything I was displaying, anything I was saying, could be deemed as supportive of the proscribed group.

“It’s terrifying, I was standing there thinking, this is the most authority, authoritarian, dystopian experience I’ve had in this country, being told that I’m committing terrorist offences by two guys with firearms.”

[Guardian]

I myself have had encounters over the past decade or so with similar woodentops, police “officers” who both over-estimate their own lawful powers and, also, fail even to understand what the relevant law is.

My own encounters had nothing directly to do with Palestine but did have everything to do with malicious Jew-Zionists and Israel fanatics making up contrived and false allegations and complaints. “Slitherman”, of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, is one of the worst.

Rental property deposits

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/jul/20/rental-deposit-scheme-puts-millions-in-the-pockets-of-landlords

Having spent much of my adult life in rental properties (everything from single bedsit rooms to a 26-bedroom historic house occupied only by me, my wife, and one cat), I oppose rental deposits. Completely. I suggest that tenants simply be required to pay an increased rent instead. Somewhere in the region of £5 per week.

As usual, “they” want a great deal more than a pound of flesh…

About 20 months ago, Gazan militants attacked southern Israel. Many Israelis (mostly military-connected, some civilian) were killed, some abducted. Several hundred killed by the militants, with several hundred more killed via Israeli “kill everything” military responses. In round figures, about 1,000 (including Israelis killed by the Israelis themselves).

Since then, the Israeli Jews have killed or seriously wounded, or starved to death etc, or prevented from getting medicines, or even water, about 200,000 Gazans, mostly civilians, mostly women and children. The Israeli Jewish “soldiers” have deliberately killed, or sadistically maimed, small children lining up to get water and/or food for their families.

What can anyone say about an evil tribe that does that?

Also, what about the surreal disproportion? 200 to 1.

One thing we can do in the UK is to get rid of politicians in the pay of the Israel lobby, in particular Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, Liz Kendall, and Yvette Cooper, all members of Labour Friends of Israel.

There speaks a vocal member of the tribe which invaded Palestine, robbed or stole from the original inhabitants 97% of the land, and which has, in the past 20 months, killed or grievously injured 200,000 people in hugely-disproportionate retaliation for an attack which killed or injured a few hundred Jews.

…and his wife and children (or servants) will not be deliberately shot in the knees or head for the crime of bringing the bastard food and water. cf. Gaza…

Britain was influenced to its massive detriment by the Jew-Zionist lobby (which controlled Churchill). Result? War, devastation across Europe, including parts of the UK, huge loss of life, huge waste of money on war operations, loss of the Empire (part immediately, part over the following years and decades), a great increase in the influence of the Jew-Zionist lobby, and its postwar takeover of much of the Press, radio, TV, the economy etc. Also, the importation of at first hundreds, then thousands, then millions, of non-Europeans.

Life goes on…

Her manner may be hysterical, but her point is valid. Terrible cruelties are still being inflicted on the civilian population of Gaza by the uniformed military forces of the Israeli Jews who, over a century, certainly over the past 80 years, have stolen Palestine.

According to the most fanatical Jew-Zionist organizations in the UK, up to 96% of UK-resident Jews support Israel, and the majority of them even support what is being done in Gaza.

Why “always support doctors“? They vary much in their abilities and attitudes. As for the ridiculously high pay (£3,000 for one shift), in 2006 or 2007 I was briefed to represent a crap Dutch locum hospital doctor (and not a “consultant”) at Cambridge County Court. His NHS pay for a single shift had been over £600— and that was nearly 20 years ago, so you could certainly double or even triple that in today’s money. Incidentally, he had been working 6-7 days per week.

Of course, the fanatical Zionist Jews in London, Manchester, Brighton etc will scoff, and say that Gazan people are not suffering much at all. Meanwhile, the very same Jews whine, and claim to be afraid, if they happen to see (or pretend to have seen) a Swastika drawn in chalk on a pavement by children.

Soon Russia will be able to launch over 2,000 of such weapons daily. Such an air fleet will be unstoppable.

If I am not mistaken, “Shahed” means “Martyr” in Arabic.

I think I did see one Englishman there. Hello, Robinson Crusoe!

London. Zoo.

Yes. Unless something big happens fairly soon (and I do not mean the rise of “Reform UK”), you can write off 90% of the UK population. A small-ish core can create a germinal ethnostate; the rest may have to fall by the wayside.

The same is true of Europe as a whole.

I never thought I would say it, but if the Kiev regime does that, Putin might (wait until Trump is installed, but if this kind of action continues after that date, then) decide to destroy Kiev entirely, using one or more nuclear missiles. If that terrible event were to happen, the Ukrainian front would simply die on the vine in a few weeks without resupply or reinforcement.

Zelensky and his (((cabal))) are attempting to foment a NATO-Russia war which, were it to break out, might change Europe, and the world, forever.

If a genuinely social-national party existed in the UK, it might well sweep all before it. Sadly, none exists.

Look at GE 2024: 8 out of 20 eligible voters did not vote. Many, perhaps most, of those might vote social-national if given the chance. Even if “only” half were to do so, the vote would equal that of the Labour Party, which was voted for by a mere 4 out of every 20 eligible voters.

Yes, in the Britain of 2024, the truth is very inconvenient for many.

In other words, if equipped with a nuclear warhead, it could reach London, New York, Washington DC, Paris etc in minutes, and would destroy those targets.

The UK, France, USA must think again about the reckless support for the Kiev regime which becomes daily more likely to lead to a Russia-NATO nuclear war.

I have no idea what that book may contain, but it may be worth reading. I shall probably read it at some point.

The facemask nonsense is now quite embedded, embedded by a mixture of fear propaganda, legal sanction, and the fact that you cannot even enter a supermarket (in practice) without wearing one, or half-wearing one.

I was at Waitrose a couple of days ago. Rabbits wearing facemasks even in the car park! I even saw one twenty-something jogging in from the street to the Waitrose car park wearing one! Despite the rabbit being that age, and alone in the cold darkness…Truly, those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.

Gunboats should sink these invaders in mid-Channel.

Eventually, not today and not tomorrow, not even in 2022, but in 10-20 years, there will be a war of existential survival: European race, culture, and civilization against, not the non-whites as such, but against the enemies of European race, culture and civilization, whoever they are, wherever they are. Survival of Europe and its future, and extermination of all enemies of civilization and positive upward evolution.

Lammy is a dim creature. Cannot even spell “Caribbean” properly…

Lammy has displayed his ignorance many times: “In 2013, Lammy accused the BBC of making a “silly innuendo about the race” on Twitter during the announcement of the next Pontiff where the BBC tweeted “will smoke be black or white?” in reference to smoke above the Sistine Chapel. Lammy criticised the BBC’s tweet as “crass and unnecessary.” He subsequently apologised after other Twitter users pointed out the role played by black and white smoke in announcing the election of a new Pope.[52][53]” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lammy#Comments_attracting_criticism].

Thick as two short planks, ignorant, unpleasant, yet there Lammy (a member of Labour Friends of Israel) sits, a Privy Councillor no less, and Shadow Lord Chancellor, though under Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer, Labour is doing even worse than it was under Corbyn, and seems (so far) to have little or no prospect of actually being able to form a government in or before 2024.

An excellent project. In the 1970s and 1980s, a number of scrapped ships were sunk in a line off the East coast of the USA, for similar reasons.

I am reading a book called M, about that unusual and now long-gone character, Maxwell Knight [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Knight].

The book was written by one Henry Hemming, who has, it seems, written other non-fiction works. A youngish man, 40-41 but looking younger in the photo inside the book’s cover; the book’s blurb says almost nothing of him; Wikipedia is also rather unforthcoming [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hemming].

The Guardian reviewed the book: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jul/20/m-by-henry-hemming-review-mi5.

My view? Well, a good read. Nicely written. Previous books have been written about Maxwell Knight, and I have read one of those, but about 20 years ago. Cannot recall much. This book is probably better, and certainly thicker…

There were a few things not to my liking, and which made me question the author’s grasp. One was a passage dealing with the visit of one of M’s agents to the Berchtesgaden area. The book says that there was “...a view of the Kehlsteinhaus, or Eagle’s Nest, where Hitler liked to spend much time.”

Kehlsteinhaus Obersalzberg Bavaria Germany 2004.jpg
[Kehlsteinhaus, Obersalzberg, 2004]

Well, that is wrong. Hitler did not in fact spend much time there, for one thing. He used it mainly to receive (some) guests, rather than at his house, the Berghof, which was at a lower level on the mountain.

Surely Hemming cannot have confused that “teahouse” with another one, which Hitler used almost daily? “Referred to as the “D-Haus”, short for “Diplomatic Reception House”, the Kehlsteinhaus is often conflated with the teahouse on Mooslahnerkopf Hill near the Berghof,[7] which Hitler walked to daily after lunch.[8] The teahouse was demolished by the Bavarian government after the war, due to its connection to Hitler.” [Wikipedia].

The other point is that the name Kehlsteinhaus is a post-1945 one. The unofficial Third Reich name, the “Eagle’s Nest”, is Adlershorst in German. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehlsteinhaus.

Still, the book is keeping my attention.
