Added a truly incredible truth from a 1958 book called Allied Wartime Supremacy, which is sourced mainly from Polish government archives. Many of you reading this already know the truth, but this is a smoking gun. It is a tragedy that this isn't more well-known. I urge you to show this to everyone you know. Check it out here:

The 25th anniversary of Mourning the Ancient!
I can hardly believe that it has been TWENTY FIVE years. I still remember the day we decided to do a project that we could spread the truth we had learned. We decided to use what we knew best -- music, as our vehicle. I remember lying on the floor of my little apartment as we brainstormed on what we should call it. We liked 'Starvation of Light', light being symbolic for truth, and how this world is starved of it. But somewhere in my teenage brain I came up with 'Mourning the Ancient'. Yeah it is a strange name, and it doesn't exactly encompass our beliefs, but we envisioned the earliest of days, pre-history, and an escape from this dark age.
Of course, our true 'mourning' is National Socialist Germany, then and now, but we didn't want to just come onto the scene that way. We wanted to establish ourselves first. To slowly feed the viewers truth. To slowly slip them the antidote to the enemy's poison -- truth.
I'm sorry there isn't a big update to celebrate the anniversary. But if you look on the update history (below) you'll see that I released a huge amount of WWII interviews for a long stretch of time. I think they are very important, more important than a selfish Mourning the Ancient update.
I had wanted to finally release a compilation video of old Mourning the Ancient photography, much of it from the late-1990s (and some after). We used to film our photo shoots and sometimes just shoot dark ambient material. There are hours and hours of material that I think a lot of readers would like to see.
Then of course there is the delayed final two photo shoots of Mourning the Ancient. It's sad, but it's time to move on. 'One cannot stare at the sun too long...' But most of the props are ready, so we'll see if I can make it happen. If not, well I've left you with 150 photo shoots in the Gallery.
I did manage to put up one photo shoot from January 2020, with the name 'Cats Bathing in the Sun of Forever'. I hope you like it, it was a simple shoot.
Check it out:
Thanks to all the great people I've met over the years, you've kept Mourning the Ancient alive with your love and support. You make it all worthwhile. You know who you are!
...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOURNING THE ANCIENT!

Special thanks to Brian, who did these interviews, from a young teen visiting his aunt in Germany, to an American soldier seeking the truth. The work you did is a priceless treasure for all time.
Also I'd like to thank 'Wolf', who has been an ever-present comrade and fellow researcher of the interviews. Your German language translations and corrections are also priceless!

Rainy solemnity.
Here we are again, friends and comrades! That most special of days - the 134th birthday of mankind's greatest son -- Adolf Hitler. The majority of you reading this have celebrated many of Adolf Hitler's birthdays, each in your own way. Many of you live in occupied countries that make it a crime to celebrate this day. And of course, this year more than any, there is a large influx of new men and women who have discovered the truth in 2023. Let me say to them: give the fight everything that you can, if you get discouraged or lose your way, you need only look to the glorious and healing light that is Adolf Hitler. His deeds, his death, his resurrection -- through our love.
Despite our enemies' cheap hate. Despite our enemies' recycled lies. Despite their vitriol, their vomited words, their petty darkness.
It is our love for our peoples.
Our love for our families.
Our love for our ancestors, who live in each one of us.
Our love for truth.
Our love for our valiant dead.
Our love beats their hate.
Our love beats their childish evil.
Our love for Him.
An eternal star to follow on dark nights.
And let's not forget, our love for a good fight. In 2023 let's give them what they want -- TOGETHER -- let's FIGHT!
Friends and enemies, I'll see you on the battlefield!
