Here is what happens to the Soviet female soldiers when they were being capture by the German soldiers




In the war between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, there were a lot of female soldiers from the Soviet side

The German hierarchy did not believe that women are supposed to be in actual combat. As a result, they used them only for secondary duties like guarding prison camps, drivers, and other jobs.

In contrast, many snipers in the Red Army were women and women pilots of the Russian Air Force took actual part in combat. The Russians threw in almost 1,000,000 women into battle.

This was hard for German army to reconcile. On the 29th of June 194i, Field Marshall Gunther von Kluge, commander of the 4th army issued an order that captured women soldiers were to be summarily shot dead.

Initially, there was an order to shoot Soviet uniformed females on sight, but it was quickly rescinded. Still, plenty of female fighters were shot. They were commonly raped and tortured before that. And that started very early on. Of course, the treatment got more brutal as time went on and Germans got angrier. But plenty of women were not shot. Instead, they were mistreated in concentration and death camps. They were regularly raped by the guards (both Germans and locals) and tortured in ways that I can’t even describe. Naturally, they also had to work. And they were exterminated at will.

This order, of course was illegal and was rescinded but individual commanders continued passing orders and women taken as POWs were shot. However, this was not the end. In October 1941, when many women were captured from behind German lines indulging in partisan activities, Field Marshal Walter von Reichenau issued specific orders that women along with captured Russian soldiers were to be immediately shot dead. Further down the line, the commander of the 75th division General Earnst Hammer issued another order stating roughly the same thing.

The end result of these orders is that the woman soldiers taken as POW’s were summarily shot. However, a few were captured and suffered sexual abuse. The sad part is that these orders were not issued by the Gestapo or the SS but by the so-called professional German army for which there was no excuse.

Boris the crown prince: Remarkable photos of Oxford's golden generation reveal PM and his 1980s contemporaries - including Nigella Lawson and David Cameron - partying when it was cool to be posh and privileged, says Toby Young (who had a front row seat) 1k   comments + 12 View gallery The pink-faced young man at the dispatch box of the Oxford Union looked slightly bewildered. He glanced up at the packed chamber, nervously fingering his mop of blond hair, as if he’d been transported there through a window in the space-time continuum.  Advertisement This was October 1983 and it was a ‘freshers debate’, an opportunity for new arrivals to make a good impression on the senior members of the famous debating society. I was due to speak after this young man and had spent several days preparing. ‘Can someone kindly remind me what the motion is?’ he asked in an exaggerated, upper-class accent.

This is how long the average prisoner live once he arrived in Auschwitz before taking them to the gas chamber

Auschwitz was large but not the worst of the camps; it most probably was the most well known It was a labor camp. Prisoners were worked to death. Those arriving WERE sorted into those groups that could be used for work and those who were considered worthless: children, the old and sick. These were sent immediately to the gas chambers to be liquidated. So they were there maybe an hour before being killed. In 1941-1942 the extermination camps in Poland, Sorbibor, Chelmo, Treblinka, Belzec were used to empty the Polish Jewish ghettos. Understand that the word “concentration” meant where the Jews and undesirables were gathered or concentrated for subsequent elimination. There was a vast dislocation of people in the wake of the Nazi invasion of Poland and the Soviet Union. Millions of Jews were concentrated in sections, ghettos of cities and then were rounded up and ship to extermination camps. These camps were constructed away from major cities and from the time a train arrived with a load...

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’). ...
