The disappearance of Lars Mittank in 2014

The disappearance of Lars Mittank in 2014.



On June 30, 2014, 28-year-old German, Lars Mittank travelled with friends to Bulgaria on a holiday.

During this vacation, Lars and his friends spent their week partying and going to pubs… pretty typical holiday activities.

On July 6, Lars was involved in a bar fight with other German tourists, which left him with a number of jaw injuries, and a ruptured eardrum. He was prescribed an antibiotic Cefprozil (500mg), and doctors advised him not to fly because of his ear injury.

The group were meant to return to Germany on July 7, but insisted they stay with Lars in Bulgaria until it was safe for him to fly. However, Lars refused this, and reassured that he would be fine on his own.

The rest of the group flew back to Germany as planned. One of his friends later reported that when they left Lars, he was in a “good mood” and “relaxed.”

This is where things became sketchy and creepy.

Lars checked out of the hotel that he and his friends were staying in on July 7. He then checked into another hotel that was located closer to the airport.

CCTV footage in the hotel caught Lars behaving strangely. He was pacing up and down the foyer, hiding in the elevator, constantly checking his surroundings and appeared paranoid about something or someone.

At 1am on July 8, Lars left that hotel and called his mother. He had whispered to her that four men were following him and trying to kill or rob him. He also requested that she cancel all his bank accounts and credit cards, so that he couldn’t be tracked.

His mother booked him a plane ticket back to Germany for the morning of July 8. Lars then packed all his belongings and went the Varna Airport later that morning.

Security camera footage captured him entering the airport and consulting with the airport doctor regarding his ear injury.

45 minutes later, an unknown man dressed like a construction site worker entered the medical services. Lars suddenly became anxious, mumbled something and sprinted out of the airport, leaving all of his belongings behind.

The security camera caught Lars fleeing the airport in a panic. Outside, he was seen running to a nearby field where he jumped over the fence and disappeared into the forest without a trace.

Lars has never been heard from or seen since.

He has now been missing for over 6 years, and still no one knows where he is, what happened to him, or why he fled the airport in a state of panic.

This missing person case always comes to my mind when I think of eerie true crime. What makes it so bizarre is that we don’t know what caused Lars to drop all his things and vanish outside the airport. We don’t know if he was really being hunted down by four men, or why he became so paranoid in the last days of his Bulgaria trip.

All the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are just extremely sketchy, and we may never find out what happened to him.

Thanks for reading!

Terrified Daily life in the Warsaw Ghetto through rare photographs, 1941.A woman lying on the pavement in the Warsaw ghetto, starving to death, 1941 On 2 October 1940, Ludwig Fischer, Governor of the Warsaw District in the occupied General Government of Poland, signed the order to officially create a Jewish district (ghetto) in Warsaw. It was to become the largest ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe. All Jewish people in Warsaw had to relocate to the area of the ghetto by 15 November 1940. The ghetto was sealed on that date. In total 113,000 gentile Poles were forced to resettle to the ‘Aryan side’ and were replaced by 138,000 Jews from other districts of the capital. The ghetto reached its highest number of inhabitants in April 1941. Within its wall lived 395,000 Varsovians (residents of Warsaw) of Jewish descent, 50,000 people resettled from the western part of the Warsaw district, 3,000 from its eastern part as well as 4,000 Jews from Germany (all resettled in the early months of 1941). ...

Budapest, near the Kilian Barracks, 1956 October They call for ''**dictatorship** of the proletariat'', with all the conclusions that come from it. In all the states that tried to install Communism or ''advanced Socialism'' or whatever you want to call them, no democracy and no other powers aside from Communist party were allowed to have any say in anything. In fact if you tried to disagree with the Communist party, you were branded a traitor or a enemy and attacked in all of them The funny thing is that in the initial phase of the rebellion, many members of the communist party in the USSR wanted to deal with it diplomatically and to resolve it peacefully. For example, Soviet Marshall Georgy Zhukov (who wanted to fully cooperate diplomatically and economically with the west after the war) ...

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’). ...
