Graphic monochrome images from a liberated Denmark show how kidnap squads hunted down and abused women who had slept with Germans at the end of WWII

Graphic photographs taken during the liberation of Denmark after five years of Nazi rule show how gangs of men rounded up and abused conspirators and women accused of sleeping with Germans.

The black and white images, taken after British paratroopers swept into the Scandinavian country in 1945, illustrate the anger and hatred the Danes felt towards the German occupiers.

In one shocking series of images, a woman who is believed to have slept with a German is chased down and stripped before having swastikas painted over her.

In other images, which are only now coming to light as they go up for auction, men are taken away at gunpoint while another image shows a baying mob rip and burn a Nazi swastika flag.




Written beside some of the pictures of men being taken away is the Danish word 'stikker' which translates to 'mole'.

The album also includes shots of a car riddled with bullet holes and a blood-soaked passenger seat

Another photo meanwhile depicts a celebratory scene of a truck carrying dozens of British paratroopers being cheered through the streets of Copenhagen.

The album, which gives a stark insight into anger felt in the aftermath of the war, is now coming up for sale at C&T Auctioneers of Rochester, Kent.

Unlike other countries under German occupation, the Danish government remained in power and the country continued to function relatively normally after leaders opted to cooperate with the Nazi regime.

But, increasingly provoked by German soldiers' brutality, resistance groups started to build momentum prompting mass strikes and demonstrations across the country.

When the Danish government refused to prohibit public meetings and impose curfews on its people in response to the action, German authorities dissolved the government and took military control of the country in 1943.

Later that year, Danish citizens discovered German troops were planning to round up Danish Jews and take them to concentration camps. Many more Danes joined the resistance which then stepped up its acts of sabotage and hostile attacks against the Nazis.

Rampaging naked Florida woman, 53, destroys an Outback Steakhouse and hurls bottles at cops before being tasered

Photos captured the moment a naked woman destroyed a bar in Florida before police came in and shot her with a stun gun before taking her into custody. Tina Kindred, 53, was acting 'out of control,' according to reports from the local sheriff's office, which led to a response from the Ocala Police Department on Monday. Kindred can be seen standing naked on top of the bar. Kindred appears to be at an Outback Steakhouse location, though she also had an incident at Mojo Grill the same day, police say. In a video of the incident, she begins trashing the bar, pulling each bottle down one by one and smashing them on the ground. When police respond, Kindred threw bottles at police officers. Kindred emerges out of the bar and begins to approach an officer.  When she gets too close, the officer deploys a taser, knocking Kindred to the ground as the cop yells at her to get on her stomach as he threatens to use it again.   Another angle shows Kindred throwing bottles before she ...

The organ that dies last in a human body

The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and subsequently they will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, the kidneys and pancreas — which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day. White blood cells can keep going for almost three days. [1] Interestingly, once someone dies, the body quickly enters the so-called “twilight of death” in which gene transcription — the first step of  gene expression , where a segment of DNA is copied into RNA — occurs. This could happen within hours or even days after the individual as a whole was declared dead. For years, researchers have noted that recipients of donor organs often exhibit increased risk of cancer following a transplant, and some researchers think that there could be a link between "twilight of death" gene transcription and this increased cancer risk. [2] In some sense, in the after...

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’). ...
