As you read this court testimony, which reveals the disgusting attempts of police in California have attempted to railroad three anti-fascists; and the extent to which the police actively collaborated with neo-nazis to do so, we want to remind you of one thing: none of this would be made public if Yvette Felarca had not been able to hire competent legal defense. And she might not have been able to do that if not for The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund, which raised thousands of dollars for her legal team.
So if you donated to The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund, you not only helped Felarca and her two co-defendants fight these absurd charges, you’ve helped expose police collusion with neo-nazis. If you haven’t donated to the Defence Fund, maybe this is a good time to start!
On this day, 25 March 1939, the Nazis brought in a tougher new law forcibly conscripting all 10 to 18-year-olds into the Hitler Youth. But despite years spent trying to mould “national socialist” youths, thousands of working class young people formed gangs known as the “Edelweiss Pirates” to socialise and organise their own fun activities. They began to get into fights with Hitler Youth patrols and when the war started they conducted sabotage, slacked at work and began to help Jews, deserters and POWs. Some became partisans and launched armed attacks on Nazi officials. Many of them were executed, but many survived the war, where young workers slacking off continued to be a problem for the Allied occupiers. We tell their story in our podcast: https://ift.tt/2Jf1GkZ https://ift.tt/2TTBm98

No contemporary war reports from the German front mention the name of Eric Jones. And there is not much information about him online – in fact there is more about a Welsh climber of the same name. But the Eric Jones who worked in secret at Bletchley Park in the 1940s is soon to be declared a figure of equal importance to Alan Turing.
Recently declassified documents show that Jones, the son of a Macclesfield textile manufacturer, was the man responsible for interpreting and prioritising all the covert intelligence that came into Britain from Nazi-occupied Europe and from spies working near the frontline.
They also show that his decision to force Britain’s rival military forces to work together may well have won the war and it certainly laid the groundwork for success on D-Day. And what is more, Jones later went on to become the first head of the government’s listening station at Cheltenham, GCHQ.
