That's not quite the case, he was speaking up for the ethnic Germans who were forcefully removed from areas (where they had lived for centuries) after the end of the war.
It’s more than Zayas speaking up for the rights of displaced Germans. His arguments simultaneously downplay the actions of the Nazi regime, from before WW2 through what is happening today in Israel. If he has shown support for advocates of the Hawaiian Kingdom, it’s because it fits in with his other views, considered questionable at best by many, including historians and scholars:
• Dr. Bernward Dörner, German historian specializing in antisemitism: Zayas ignores decades of research in his quest to absolve the Germans of having known about the Holocaust, and his evidence and reasoning are faulty. (Source: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, April 18, 2011, review of Zayas’ most recent book
• Professor Frank M. Brucher, in 1993 German Studies Review article: Zayas “makes no attempt to integrate his work with that of existing historiography on World War II, Nazi Germany or war crimes in general
• Rainer Ohliger, German social scientist and historian, reviewing Zayas’ book “A Terrible Revenge” in 1997 German historians’ forum: The “murderous Nazi-German foreign policy that was in place between 1938 and 1945. . . is starkly underemphasized [by Zayas’] book and arouses suspicion that we are dealing with a historical revisionist work.”
