BIOGRAPHY
MIKE WALSH
Mike Walsh is a veteran journalist, broadcaster and historian. A fugitive from
renegade Europeans, leftists, palace journalists, he has shrugged off their wrath over
50 years of writing. His Irish-American father, Patrick had fought in four conflicts by
the time he reached 40-years of age: The Irish peoples guerrilla war against the
British Army‟s Black and Tans. These armed irregulars, dredged from England‟s
prisons, were notorious for their viciousness. The Irish War of Independence and on
to fight in the most ferocious hand-to-hand battles during the Spanish Civil War.
Whilst on the frontlines he was a close associate of American war correspondent,
Ernest Hemingway. Mike‟s father formed an enduring friendship with Ireland‟s
celebrated playwright, Sean O‟Casey. Eventually his father served in the Royal Air
Force during World War Two as an aircraft fitter / flier. Kathleen, Mike‟s well-
educated mother also mentored his writing skills. A former novice nun she was a
corresponding friend of Spain's Civil War revolutionary La Pasionaria. From the age
of 26 the world-travelling Mike was consumed by a passion for truth and justice.
Inevitably, this led him to the potpourri of lies, infamies, cover-ups and crimes
committed by the Allies that militarily defeated the Workers Reich.
By doing so they ensured the spread of Bolshevism, denial of freedom to nearly a
score of Central European nations, the dismembering of the British Empire, and
surrender to American imperialism. The Allied victory ensured that Bolshevism
would fester for a further 45 years; this they call victory. Through the base stupidity
and race treachery the armed forces of the victors‟ empires destroyed the one
revolution that alone could have ensured the preservation of European culture and
values. Today, their dance of victory is the dance of death on their own funeral pyres.

DEDICATIONS
To Patrick my father with whom I disagreed to a point of estrangement I belatedly
realise that he wanted a better world too. He did it in the way he thought right at the
time; bravo. To my dear mother Kathleen for encouraging my love of literature and
writing. To my apolitical wife Nadia who tolerates me. Last but not least I express
patriarchal love and regards to our sons, Craig, Michael and Nikita.
FOREWORD
Mike Walsh Journalist, Broadcaster
Historian and Poet
We are conditioned by propaganda to applaud Winston Churchill, U.S. President
Franklin D Roosevelt, many military figures and writers. Yet, had things turned out
differently, England‟s half-American unelected wartime leader would be little more
than a Lord Kitchener-like smudge in a schoolchild‟s text book.
Due to his corruption, predilection for cross-dressing and sexual debauchery,
Churchill would likely have died in alcoholic obscurity during self-imposed exile in
the U.S. Our thoughts then turn to Wall Street‟s financed Bolshevik, dictator and ex-
terrorist the dwarfish Joe Stalin. It is doubtful he would have survived assassination
attempts until he was finally poisoned in March, 1953.
On the other hand, those now victims of character assassination would be national
icons. It is likely that Adolf Hitler would be revered throughout the world.
Throughout, what is now known as the Third World, there would be constant
celebrations of the Reich after his having liberated their lands from Britain‟s colonial
empire?
3
No doubt, the liberated nations of Europe would embrace their own form of National
Socialism or Fascism rather than the corrupted right-wing corporatism of the Spanish
or Portuguese models.
In Norway monuments erected to Norwegian patriots Vidkun Quisling and Knut
Hamsun. In Romania there would be squares, parks and great highways named in
honour of Romanian nationalist Christian Corneliu Codreanu. Throughout Ireland no
doubt avenues and squares would be named in tribute of Irish-American William
Joyce.
People do not hate or love famous figures. What they hate or love are falsifications
artfully created by victors‟ propaganda. These caricatures bear no resemblance to
those great figures of history.
Very few people can hate Adolf Hitler as they simply do not know the man. What
they do hate is a mythical almost Disney „hate figure‟ that artful propaganda makes
him out to be. Heroes Hang when Traitors Triumph will perhaps give a different
perspective of former much vilified foes. In the future, who knows, we shall indeed
see squares, parks, avenues and galleries named in honour of Adolf Hitler, William
Joyce, Romania‟s Corneliu Codreanu, and T. E Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia.
How revered the writer and philosopher Knut Hamsun, and throughout Europe,
Russia and Ukraine especially, the Norwegian patriot Vidkun Quisling. Heroes Hang
when Traitors Triumph will leave you better able to judge for yourself.

CONTENTS
T. E LAWRENCE AKA LAWRENCE OF ARABIA New evidence strongly suggests that one of Britain's greatest war adventurers was
murdered by the British Secret Service. The legendary desert warrior, friend of
outstanding writer Henry Williamson and admirer of Adolf Hitler, previous to his
murder, had stated his intention to join the British Union of Fascists. If T. E
Lawrence and Henry Williamson were to oppose the war lobby's intention to declare
war on Germany the pro-war lobby's scheme to enter into war with trade competitor
Germany might be derailed.
WILLIAM JOYCE. HANGED FOR WORDS HE DIDN'T SAY The academically brilliant Irish-American William Joyce was falsely dubbed 'Lord
Haw-Haw'. The idealist it is claimed joined the Nazis. During the war it was said,
he betrayed Britain. The sobriquet Lord Haw-Haw was due to a mistake made by a
Daily Express reporter. Influential American LIFE magazine calculated that 50% of
the English people listened to William Joyce‟s opinions broadcast from Hamburg.
The manager of East Riding Radio Relay Service complained; “We are inundated
with requests for Lord Haw-Haw broadcasts, which we are not allowed to give.”
Statesman David Lloyd George; “The Government ought to take notice of every word
this man says.” This is the story of an Irish-American who was to become a
champion of British interests.
VIDKUN QUISLING THE MARTYRDOM OF A VIKING Unconvinced about the power of propaganda? Norwegian statesman, Sir Vidkun
Quisling, earned his British knighthood. An adventurer and close friend of polar
explorer Fridtjof Nansen, he worked with the International Red Cross in famine-
struck Ukraine. With others, he is credited with saving the lives of millions of
Eastern Europeans. Throughout his life, especially during the failed Bolshevik
attempt to subvert Norway, Vidkun Quisling showed rare courage. This and much
more and yet his name has become synonymous with cowardice and treachery. His
story will inspire you. It will also teach you to respect the power of propaganda.
CORNELIU CODREANU IRON GUARD LEGION
It was student protests that helped to extinguish the flames of Bolshevism in Eastern
Europe. During the rise of the Reich it was Leipzig students, not the NSDAP that
inspired and initiated the mass burning of Marxist ideology, pornography and anti-
German subversive literature. Elsewhere in postwar Europe student power helped
topple governments. One such was Romania's Corneliu Codreanu, fiery leader of the
revolutionary Romanian Iron Guard. Had his aims been achieved then Codreanu's
name in Romania today would be as revered as Kemal Ataturk's is in Turkey. Here
is an inspiring account of a little known saga of Central European revolution.
KNUT HAMSUN THE WEST’S SOLZHENITSYN
In 1920 Knut Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Was it
undeserved? Not according to Ernest Hemingway: “Hamsun taught me to write.”
5
The roll-call of iconic giants of literature, who revered Knut Hamsun, includes Isaac
Bashevis Singer, “The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems
from Hamsun.” Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann
Hesse and many others of similar renown. Thomas Mann described Knut Hamsun as,
“A descendant of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche.”
How then was it possible for palace historians and corrupted politicians to turn such
an international giant into a pariah? Read the inspiring story of Norway's greatest son
of literature.
THE MARTYRDOM
OF WILLIAM JOYCE
A POIGNANT SECTION OF THIS LOVELY STORY OF A VERY BRAVE
AMERICAN-IRISHMAN
STATESMAN DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
PRAISES WILLIAM JOYCE
Part of the blackening of Joyce‟s character is the claim that his speeches were
universally ridiculed. In fact, his broadcasts were widely listened to in Britain and
the content was far from laughable as claimed by mainstream media.
6
His biographer, J. A. Cole describes an event at which two visitors were having
afternoon tea with David Lloyd George.
“The statesman interrupted the conversation to switch on the radio so that the
Hamburg service could be listened to. The former prime minister listened attentively,
and once he remarked: „The Government ought to take notice of every word this man
says.”
Life magazine credited Germany with leading the radio war of broadcast information.
The influential American magazine calculated, probably correctly, that 50% of the
English listened to Joyce‟s broadcasts from Hamburg. The BBC disagreed, but then
it would. The manager of the East Riding Radio Relay Service complained, “We are
inundated with requests for Lord Haw-Haw broadcasts, which we are not allowed to
give.”
As the Second World War drew to a close several attempts were made to save
William Joyce and his wife from English vengeance. These attempts were futile.
Reichsminister Dr. Joseph Goebbels, before his death, enquired whether a submarine
could be used to take the fugitives to Galway in neutral Ireland. Though not
dismissed out of hand it was impractical and the idea was not pursued. A further
plan was to allow escape to Sweden. This was blocked by the Swedes but at that late
stage of the war escape was unlikely to succeed anyway. Denmark was in a state of
near chaos and Communist bands roamed everywhere. In fact William Joyce was not
inclined to either run or to take his own life. He preferred instead to allow fate to
deal with him as it might. William and Margaret ended their days in defeated
Germany much as their life there had begun, as wandering helpless victims of fortune
and fate. As the first rays of spring were warming the north German countryside the
couple often strolled through the pastoral landscapes surrounding Flensburg in
Northern Germany. As they did so the two contemplated nature and no doubt
remarked on the budding birch trees. Occasionally, Margaret and her husband
would come across small groups of British soldiers. It amused William Joyce to
banter with them. On one occasion a small group of soldiers enjoyed a conversation
with a couple who they thought were Herr and Frau Hansen. It was precisely
because William Joyce did not sound like his music hall caricature that he went
unrecognised.
THERE IS A GREEN HILL FAR AWAY
The beginning of their end came on Monday morning on May 28, 1945. William had
climbed to his favourite spot, the crest of the hill overlooking Flensberg‟s beautiful
harbour. There, to use his own words, he seemed to have fallen into a trance-like
state. 'Then, with the utmost earnestness he prayed for help and guidance.‟
Later, realising that his wife would be searching for him, William took one final look
at his beloved harbour below before turning to search for her. Following the same
wooded pathway down the hill the former broadcaster encountered two British army
officers as they gathered wood. Perhaps realising that silence would be regarded as
suspicious Joyce, speaking in French to the servicemen, said, „here are a few more
good pieces.‟
7
Whatever aroused their suspicion we may never know. Captain Alexander Adrian
Lickorish of the Reconnaissance Regiment, and Lieutenant Perry, an Army
interpreter, followed and overtook the limping man. “You wouldn‟t happen to be
William Joyce would you?” Perry asked. The conditioned response for anyone so
challenged was to do as Joyce did. Reaching into his pocket he fingered the official
document that would disprove the officer‟s suspicion.
Before he could present his proof of identity, Perry drew and fired his revolver. It
was never felt necessary to explain why such a standard response to a simple request
should have resulted in Joyce being shot down. Asking for documents was
commonplace. The soldiers' reaction, fortunately, was not. The discharged bullet
entered Joyce‟s right thigh and then through his left leg, causing four wounds. As the
rebel fell to the ground he cried: „My name is Fritz Hansen.‟ The grim irony is that
the „officer‟ who shot Joyce, Lieutenant Perry was no Englishman, nor was he a
soldier. Perry was not his real name; the Lieutenant was an armed German-Jew
serving with the British Armed Forces.
William was handed over to the guard commander at the frontier post where his true
identity was revealed. During the ensuing raid on the couple‟s lodgings a lieutenant
and a party of ten infantrymen, two Bren gun carriers and a lorry arrested Joyce's
wife. “Your husband has been arrested,” he snapped, adding that he was to arrest
everyone in the house including the children.

T. E. LAWRENCE
WAS LAWRENCE OF
ARABIA MURDERED

T. E Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia
T. E (Thomas Edward) Lawrence was undoubtedly one of the British Empire‟s iconic
giants. He was an adventurer without equal in an age when great men were already
ten a penny. His is a half-forgotten age of chivalry and derring do. The enduring
legend, this erudite graduate of Oxford University was engaged in archaeological
explorations in Syria when World War One was unleashed upon the world. Soon
afterwards, the man destined by fate to become a legend was attached to British
Forces in the Middle East.
T. E. Lawrence's exploits as a guerrilla leader behind Turkish lines, and his numerous
acts of sabotage and diversion, soon became legendary. Lawrence became a British
national hero and an international legend. The wanderer's adoption of Arab dress
with flowing robes, head-dress, added to by Arabic daggers protruding from his belt,
added to the mystique of this legendary warrior. His mission, on behalf of the British
government, was to stir up trouble among the Arab nations against the then Turkish
Ottoman Empire. The Turks during the Great War were allies of Germany. T. E.
Lawrence was held in the highest of esteem. Winston Churchill, among many other
notables, was unstinting in his admiration for this desert warrior. Books and articles
about his exploits were eagerly awaited.
ARABS BETRAYED
When the Great War ended, Lawrence of Arabia, the heroic figure, disappeared into
obscurity. Afterwards, he was known to be very disappointed in the terms of the
Balfour Declaration. This toxic British agreement was a stab in the back for the Arab
world.
It betrayed Arab interests in favour of the Jewish-inspired claim to Palestinian
homeland, which was to in 1948 become Israel. Each and every anguish suffered by
the Palestinian peoples since, and many others throughout the world, can now be
traced back to the notorious Balfour Declaration.
Living quietly in his austere Dorset cottage T. E. Lawrence at first wrote an account
of his wartime experiences among his Arab friends. Having done so, he then enlisted
in the Royal Air Force as a humble air-craftsman. Such was his maverick
temperament and keen intellect that he found it difficult to mix with other airmen. In
turn, he was disliked by jealous fellow servicemen and his commanding officers.
As a „ranker‟ Thomas Edward Lawrence remained an enigmatic brooding figure who
remained tacitly in contact with those in the highest political and military circles, as
well as with literary giants of his age.
In respect of the latter he carried on voluminous correspondence. Such a national
hero holding strong idealist opinions could easily have become a thorn in the side of
the establishment. Many believed this is what happened.

MARTYRDOM OF A VIKING
PROPHETIC WORDS BUT BRITAIN STEPS BACK
„A Nordic union between Scandinavia and Great Britain, with the adherence of
Finland and Holland, and in which Germany and eventually the British Dominions
and America might later be absorbed, would take away the sting of any communist
combination and secure European civilization and peace for the foreseeable future.‟ ~
Vidkun Quisling, „Russia and Us‟, 1930.
Norwegian Prime Minister Vidkun Quisling had a serious expression on his face as
he sat opposite his secretary, Franklin Knudsen: “You will be my historical witness.
The day will come when I will need it.” The national leader‟s words were spoken
with great solemnity as the two men sat in a room of Oslo‟s Grand Hotel. The date
was 18 April 1940. The private meeting marked one of the most dramatic events in
the great Nordic nation‟s history.
10
Nine days earlier their country had surrendered to the forces of the German Third
Reich. Posterity would record that the trigger for Norway's cataclysmic collapse had
been pulled by England‟s soon to be wartime premier Winston Churchill MP. Within
three weeks, the former bankrupt and often lampooned British parliamentarian would
be handed powers a dictator could only dream about.
First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill‟s aim was to cut Germany‟s essential
ore lifeline. Norway and Sweden enjoyed the status of neutrality. Within the
constraints of international agreements and international law the two nations were
amicably trading with their German neighbor. Much of beleaguered Germany‟s ore
was being transported from Northern Sweden to the Reich. Britain, having declared
war, found applying pressure to Sweden and Norway was futile. These Scandinavian
nations were not at war and were happy to trade with Germany.
As a consequence Winston Churchill was incandescent. A trade blockade was
essential and the aim was to throttle the Baltic Sea and its trade links. The
Scandinavian snub left the war leader little choice but to again defy international law.
The British parliamentarian decided therefore that these countries neutrality was to be
denied. Britain would henceforth mine Norwegian waters. Should this fail then
England, again in defiance of international law, would invade neutral Norway. Doing
so was essential if by slicing through Norwegian territory Sweden could be invaded
and ore shipments to Germany prevented.
The conspiracy to mine Norwegian waters and invade Norway was later exposed by
Winston Churchill‟s ally, Prime Minister Paul Reynard of France. The belligerent
Churchill arrived in Paris on April 5, 1940. There, the plan to illegally lay minefields
in Norway‟s territorial waters was hatched. The operation was postponed until April
7, 1940. The intention was no great secret.
The true intention was to provoke the Reich into a pre-emptive strike. This would
make Germany, not England, responsible for violating Norway's neutrality. If the
ruse bore fruit then it would provide the excuse England needed for its planned
counter invasion of Norway. It was not thought that Germany's occupation forces
could repel an English assault. The English warlord was notorious for military
blunders. If England could, after ousting German forces, occupy Norway, then
Sweden's German trade could be stopped. England could then posture as having
come to Norway‟s aid to defend its neutrality. The Swedish government, up to the
tricks of Winston Churchill‟s war cabinet, was soon to make it absolutely clear to
Britain‟s unelected coalition regime that any invasion of its territory by British troops
would be resisted.
The British premier had already boasted, “All German ships in the Skagerrak and
Kattegat will be sunk.” These seaways, like the English Channel, were neutral
passage to international shipping. The straits provide the trading gateway for
Germany, Denmark, Russia, Norway, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland.
