Waco Shootout Evokes Memory of Warsaw '43
On Feb. 27, black-uniformed men of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms wearing "coal-scuttle" helmets and carrying
German-made machine pistols attacked the Branch Davidian compound
in Waco, Texas. Fifty years earlier, in January 1943, black-
uniformed SS men wearing "coal-scuttle" helmets and carrying
German-made machine pistols attacked the Jewish compound in Warsaw,
Poland.
The BATF men were searching for illegal weapons reported by a
paid informant to be in the Branch Davidian compound. The SS men
were searching for illegal weapons reported by a paid informant
to be in the Warsaw ghetto.
Reports from Texas indicate the Branch Davidians kept to
themselves and harmed no one outside their compound prior to the
BATF assault. history tells us the Jews kept to themselves and
harmed no one outside the Warsaw ghetto prior to the SS assault.
The U.S. broadcast news media tell us that the Branch Davidians
practice contemptible sexual rituals involving your children, so
they are an evil religious cult. Nazi news media told the German
population that the Jews practiced contemptible sexual rituals
involving children, so they were an evil religion.
The BATF invited the U.S. news media to document the BATF
assault to show the American public how dangerous the Branch
Davidians are. The SS had propagandists document its assault to
show the German public how dangerous the Jews were.
Four BATF men were killed and 16 wounded in the initial assault
on the Branch Davidian compound. Eleven SS men were killed and an
unrecorded number wounded in the initial assault on the Warsaw
ghetto.
After the initial assault, the BATF men magnanimously arranged
a truce so children could be evacuated from the Branch Davidian
compound (and they could tend to their casualties). After their
initial assault, the SS men magnanimously arranged a truce so
children could be evacuated from the Warsaw ghetto compound (and
they could tend to their casualties).
The BATF called up military units with armored vehicles to
finish off the Branch Davidian compound after encountering
fierce resistance against the initial assault. The SS called up
military units with armored vehicles to finish off the Warsaw
ghetto after encountering fierce resistance against the initial
assault.
Fifty years have passed, but little has changed.
