Excerpts from the God Wars: Part III – War in the East, Making the Peace, and Heading North
The Hindu God, Shiva. He is the Lord of Divine Energy, Meditation, Arts, Yoga, Time, Destruction, Dance; Supreme Destroyer of Evil; Lord of The Devas (gods).
He is about to do battle with the Chinese Monkey King, Sun Wukong, and the Jade Emperor, Yù Huáng Shàngdì. Unbeknownst to him, Wukong, or Yù, this has all been a subtle manipulation by the Norse trickster god, Loki, who is staying out of the Norse-Olympian War.
Yù Huáng Shàngdì aka the Heavenly Grandfather, the Jade Emperor and head of Chinese Pantheon of Han Folk Religion.
He is pictured here smirking confidently while getting into a fighting stance, readying himself for battle against Shiva.
The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, arrives to help Yù Huáng Shàngdì.
The Hindu god of wisdom, success and good luck, son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha/Ganesh stands in Sun’s path to Shiva as he (Shiva) starts his fight against Yù Huáng Shàngdì.
=============================
MeanwhilebackinEgypt…
Egyptian God of the Sun and Creation, Ra prepares to leave for Europe (top). Jesus of Nazareth, son of Jehovah and nephew of HaShem walks across the Mediterranean Sea as he begins to journey towards Europe, soon afterwards he would decide to just run faster than the winds so he could get there sooner (bottom).
Having drawn up the details of the so-called “Treaty of Divine Peace Between Egypt and Israel”, Ra and Jesus met with HaShem to get him to agree (this comes after Ra got the rest of the Egyptian Pantheon to sign the treaty). Tired of the endless battles between himself and the Pantheon, as well as the unprecedented suffering of his people at the hands of the Osirite Army, HaShem agreed to signing the treaty.
The treaty clearly stated in it that no god in the Near East* could deliver plagues unto the followers of another or smite them without explicit consent from the forementioned followers’ god(s). In exchange for this, all those who suffered/died as a result of the Ten Plagues and the ensuing war between the Egyptian Pantheon and HaShem will be resurrected in full.
Now it was Jesus’ time to travel over to Europe and try to bring about an end to the Norse-Olympian War. Ra, having taking a liking to the demigod Jesus of Nazareth, decided to help him in ending the Norse-Olympian War and give him (Jesus) more legitimacy. It is hoped that with Ra’s presence and backing, the Aesir and Olympians will be willing to listen to Jesus and give peace a chance. Their destination is Germania, where a battle is being waged by the Olympian war god Ares and the Norse King God Odin (who is also the Norse God of poetry, battle, and death). They must hurry before the Germanic gods get involved.

* = Only the Egyptian gods and HaShem were covered under the treaty as the gods of Babylon, Mesopotamia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Zoroastrian god of Persia all declared neutrality in the conflict.

The White Eagle is Free at Last, Part Two of Two: Celebrations and Horror
Szef, or leader/chief, of the Reformed Republic of Poland Bołesaw Piasecki announces the official liberation of Poland on February 23, 1947 via radio broadcast (top). Troops of 12th Infantry battalion of the Polish Legion march triumphantly through the streets of war-torn Warsaw (upper-centre). A Polish woman mingles with Polish Legionaries (lower-centre). Japanese troops happily eat maize given to them as gifts by the women of Warsaw (bottom).
As people (Polish citizens, Legionnaries, and Japanese troops alike) were celebrating the liberation of Warsaw and all of Poland from German occupation by the Empire of Japan and its Polish/Czechoslovak/Cossack Legions, a unit of Cossacks stumbled upon something that shook them to their core and immediately radioed for back up. The hastily assembled Japanese garrison for Warsaw got the message from the Cossacks and headed towards their (the Cossacks’) location due northeast of Warsaw in a forest. What they saw there shocked them.

Prisoners celebrate their liberation at the hands of 12th Infantry Battalion of the Polish Legion, the 5th cavalry division of the Cossack Legion, and the Japanese Warsaw Garrison on February 23, 1947.
The camp’s guards had fled the scene when the Cossacks were coming but not before locking up the camp and killing as many prisoners as possible. A day later, the guards would be captured by Japanese troops and mowed down by Arisaka and machine gun fire.
The Cossacks, and now the Japanese, had uncovered the largest Nazi concentration camp in the whole of Europe, Treblinka. The Japanese immediately joined the Cossacks in giving the survivors blankets, food, and water with IJA medics looking after survivors as best they could. When Field Marshal Yamashita received reports of Treblinka, he immediately made his way northeast towards the camp. When he got there, he toured the camp — all the while seeing horrors that he’d never forget.

“It was like a POW camp back east, only here it was much worse. Here the prisoners weren’t enemy combatants but ordinary people. Seeing them in this state; emaciated, disease-ridden, some too weak to stand, let alone walk, looking like skeletons…it was horrifying. I saw the cremation ovens, the gas chambers, and the mass graves along with piles of the clothing and personal belongings of the prisoners. It was an experience I will never forget. I remember seeing one prisoner, an old man, coming out of a house (if you could call a primitive dwelling a house) and saluting me weakly and smiling. I saluted him back. Unfortunately that man’s salute was his last act as he then just fell over, and I already knew right then and there that he was dead.”
A pair of Polish Legionaries remarked that a starved Polish woman came to them with an dead emaciated child in her arms asking them to help her bury her 6 year old son as she was too weak to do so herself. The woman quickly soon after broke down into tears. Elsewhere, a Japanese soldier by the name of Lieutenant Onoda Hirō stated the following in an interview years later in 1974:
“While at the camp (Treblinka) I came across a 16 year Jewish girl. She must have been almost starved to death because when I offered her my bento box and chopsticks, the girl threw away the sticks and started shovelling the rice, beef, and pickled vegetables into her mouth like a wild animal. I later asked the girl’s name and she said her name was Anne Frank, when I asked her where her family was she only replied with sobbing.”
When Japanese-Polish forces under the command of Yamashita captured the German city of Königsberg days later, The Polish Legionaries (filled with rage) started to rape, loot, and kill indiscriminately followed soon after by the Japanese. Field Marshal Yamashita, still incensed by Treblinka, made no effort whatsoever to halt the atrocities – in the end some 350,000 Germans (mostly civilians) were killed, maimed, and raped in what would soon be called “the Sack of Königsberg”.
There were even reports of Wehrmacht troops and Waffen-SS personnel being burned alive in boarded up houses by Polish and Japanese forces. There was one account by an officer of the Kempeitai that stated:
“In center of the city (Königsberg) at least twenty soldiers of the Reich’s Wehrmacht were piled liked wood and then ran over, and crushed, by a T-34-85 tank driven by vengeful Polish Legionaries.”
Even Königsberg Castle was not safe with all its artifacts looted and the castle later being blown up by the Japanese. This was after a serious firefight between Japanese-Polish forces and Waffen-SS units concluded (it raged in and around the castle) with the SS defeated.

Benito Mussolini is inspecting the newly reformed Italian Army in 1947. it is a Duce humiliated but still in place, which reigns on the ItalY, indeed after having negotiated a separate peace with the Allies in July 1943 after the operation "Husky", the Duce managed to stay in power thanks to American support. However, Communist Partisans do not disarm and are supplied by the Soviets from Yugoslavia.

Generalissimo of the White Russian Armies, Lev Davidovich Bronstein, gives a rousing speech to troops under his command about how close they are to defeating the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army (commonly called the ‘Red Army’) and winning the civil war.
This comes as they prepare for the famed “Siege of Moscow” on 12 January 1922. Six months earlier, the northern Soviet stronghold of Leningrad (the name changed back to Petrograd upon the conclusion of the Russian Civil War) fell to the forces of General Lavr Kornilov after the Baltic Fleet of the White Navy, under Admiral Alexander Kolchak, wiped out the meagre Soviet Navy.
