Germany use child soldiers in WW2




this is a Russian “Child of the Regiment.” These tended to be orphans adopted by a military unit. These children where, as you tell, often armed to teeth and almost always found at the front line. The German army used child soldiers extensively at the end of the war.

The Volksstrum was made up of men previously wounded, the elderly, and, most often, children. These soldiers where forced into uniform and thrust against the Allies. Often, if captured, they would be told to loose the uniform and go home.

The Americans didn’t conscript children like Germany, but it was rather easy for underage people to join up. One member of the Marines was awarded the Metal of Honor for saving several comrades from a grenade. Before the awards ceremony, it was discovered that he was 17, and had joined up at the tender age of 14!

The Japanese used many child soldier in the battle of Okinawa. Some of these children were even sent as suicide bombers against American tanks. In the battle of Iwo Jima, 30 botany students where stranded on the island. These children where each given 2 grenades; one to use against the enemy, one to use on themselves.

did mystique really have to walk home naked after she lost her powers in last stand

So did mystique really have to walk home naked after she lost her powers in last stand? Her feelings would be really really hurt at the moment and she would feel very vulnerable as a human looking like one but as he literally left her there I don’t think she would take too long into weaponizing this shame into looking like an innocent victim “could you please take me to civilization, oh a sweater? Thank you you are a kind soul 😇 “ Unless the feds arrived really, really fast she would be out of that place in 20 minutes tops and only if not much cars are passing by. Though she might contact the feds herself if there is some deals to be won. All the dirt and location of magneto resources in exchange of a blank slate and a promise of not doing any activities that could be considered criminal She would be charged. They know her identity despite her ability to shapeshifter including her fingerprints. She will not be off the hook like the last person said. They know who she is and power...

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn. Between East and West Germany, the west was much more Nazi. Prominent Nazis made a concerted effort toward the end of the war to surrender to the Western allies who would treat them better, and were then incorporated into government and military command. You didn't have people like Adolf Heusinger, Franz Halder, or Hans Speidel running around in East Germany. You didn't have leadership like Adenauer pushing to halt denazification in East Germany. Saying all the nazis "switched hats and went to communist East Germany" is like saying males produce estrogen. Sure they do a tiny bit, but is that really the gender you associate with estrogen? One of the facts that I learned about the Holocaust from my grandfather that has stuck with me even up throug...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
