Introduction to author Robert A. Johnston by Germania International

Adolf Hitler

Many collectors and information seekers—especially advocates of historical revisionism—have been positively and emphatically interested in an article written by author and historian, Robert A. Johnston, who has contributed to Germania International, and has been featured in several magazine articles regarding his book, Gun of Desiny and WWII subjects.

On numerous occasions, Mr. Johnston has graciously and generously acted as an unofficial curator of sorts while providing me with unassailable and most valuable information because of his vast experience dealing with historical items for more than half a century.

This magazine accounting published in several history journals for the most part traces the history of a petite Smith & Wesson .22-caliber revolver (Ladysmith model) that the writer discloses as the gun that most likely changed the course of modern history. Since I asked Mr. Johnston to allow me to print the amazing article on my site, he graciously consented and you can read it here.

However, having said this, I now must announce that the aforementioned articles have recently been reorganized and widened greatly; it is now lauded as a 444-page book. The fantastic saga of the Ladysmith revolver is but one of twenty-two chapters that comprise this delve into history.

In the book, the author reveals many previously rejected or otherwise ignored facts about the former owner of the weapon, the man known to history as Adolf Hitler.

I am an adamant reader of books on WWII and of the famous personalities of that turbulent era, but of all the books by the so-called eminent Hitler biographers, most seem to portray him as wicked and threatening. Yet the German people, whom I consider the most discerning and intelligent people on the planet, adored the man who was to them nothing less than messianic and the liberator of the Teutonic peoples. The truth is, the victors of any war practically always write the final premise or hypothesis, and any mention of the role of the vanquished enemy becomes fair game for vicious recriminations when these jugglers of truth recount totally fabricated falsehoods and outright spurious prevarications.

Mr. Johnston listened to a different drummer: that’s for certain. His noteworthy Hitler bio and the facts brought forward most definitely reflect this theme. The book is replete with many interesting photos some of which I am told had never been published. Essentially, the book promises to be the most different yet truthful revisionist book on Adolf Hitler that you will ever read. In recent years, there have been some other fine volumes that attempt to show the human side of this amazing man. I have read several of them with enthusiastic appreciation and realization that the truth would finally prevail. After all, there are still three things that cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth!

After all is said and done I maintain that Gun of Destiny will rank as one of the most worthy biographies yet written in this revisionist vent; I assure you of an exceptional and fascinating read. I’m elated that author Johnston has consented to letting us handle this crucially significant and long-needed study into the other side of the life of history’s most libeled personality.

After reading this book, and if you are of the right age group, you just might harken back to the oft-repeated words of the great radio commentator Paul Harvey when he said, “And now you know the rest of the story.”
