You asked 'which part' but apparently you figured that out. It's not my 'proof text,' it's a quote and you left out the reference, please don't do that:Markk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 02, 2025 2:54 amWhat part? He spoke generally, on a podcast, for two paragraphs about this. If you are talking about SS Sturmbannführer (a major) Rolf-Heinz Höppner's letter on 16 July 1941, what did the letter to Eichmann say?Marcus wrote: ↑Tue Jul 01, 2025 6:05 pm[bolding removed]
I just saw that Markk's post to Morley included a reposting of the section of the Cooper transcript that includes the part that's been shown to completely untrue. Markk has posted this lie multiple times in this thread, after it's been shown to be a lie. Markk has no credibility.
You quoted this if I remember correctly.... what did that letter say, please paste the letter and we can compare it to your proof text, and what Cooper said in the podcast. You did read it right? If you haven't read it, and you can't find it, I can paste it here for you.
Recently, Darryl Cooper, in a podcast with Tucker Carlson, made statements that grossly misrepresent the German Nazi regime’s actions during Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Cooper claimed that the Nazis were "unprepared" to handle millions of prisoners of war and political dissidents, suggesting their brutality was a result of poor planning. This statement is patently false. The German invasion of the Soviet Union was long-planned and included genocidal strategies of dealing with the local Jewish population not as a response to logistical challenges, but as an ideological one.
Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan remarked:
"Tucker Carlson and his guest Darryl Cooper engaged in one of the most repugnant forms of Holocaust denial of recent years. These far-fetched conspiracy theories are not only dangerous and malevolent, they are antisemitic."
Cooper attempts to prove his mistaken point by quoting a letter supposedly from a German Wehrmacht officer, where he indicates that the murder of civilians and POWS in the USSR was out of “humane” concerns due to insufficient food supplies. This, too, is patently false. In reality, the letter by SS officer Rolf-Heinz Höppner on 16 July 1941, advocated for the murder of all the Jews in the western region of occupied Poland, called by the Nazis the Warthegau. Misrepresenting this as anything but intentional mass murder distorts history and downplays the Nazis responsibility for the Holocaust and for their other crimes.
Head of Yad Vashem's International Institute for Holocaust Research Prof. Dan Michman states:
"Mr. Cooper isn't known for having done any scholarly research on Nazism and the Holocaust, and his statements in this interview clearly demonstrate his ignorance."
It is crucial to uphold the truth of these events. Approximately six million Jews, including some four million killed near their homes in Eastern Europe, were murdered as part of the Nazis’ systematic genocide called by them “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” Any attempt to distort these historical facts or explain this away sanitizes these genocidal crimes and dishonors the memory of the victims.

Yes, I read the letter being referred to, and yes, I agree with their assessment, which is the part you continue to post even though Cooper is incorrect:
And no I won't provide the letter for you. If you want to argue Cooper wasn't wrong, make your own argument (like Morley, I see no value in your round and round obfuscations) but it's been established to my satisfaction that his statement re this was in error.Cooper attempts to prove his mistaken point by quoting a letter supposedly from a German Wehrmacht officer, where he indicates that the murder of civilians and POWS in the USSR was out of “humane” concerns due to insufficient food supplies.
