The execution methods that were actually used by the Vikings

We know that elderly people were thrown ( or went voluntarily ) off cliffs, so they would not be a continued burden. Infants were left in the wild to die of exposure.

The Jomsviking lost the Battle of Jørungavåg and were beheaded (by axe). The details of the executions is high literature thanks to Snorri Sturlasson. He also relates how Olav Tryggvasson put some wizards onto some skerries that were inundated at high-tide. The holy trees (in Uppsala for example) had some strange fruits as humans, probably thralls were hung there.
Not only thralls had to because of the crops failed:

This is an illustration (from 1880s) of an event which is probably before the attack on Lindisfarne, and relates to how king Domalde had to perish so weather could improve. The saga is not that specific about how they actually did it. The Tollund Man is probably another (nameless) king that had the same fate. (pre-viking age too, but it could probably have happened in the viking age)

so there was a spectrum of possibilities. The method that is most famous is Blood eagle which may or not be true, but those were hard times anyway.

A French soldier looking at the remains of a leg that still has a boot on during the Battle of Verdun, 1916

 A French soldier looking at the remains of a leg that still has a boot on during the Battle of Verdun, 1916. 108 years ago today, the Battle of Verdun, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of World War I, came to an end. The battle lasted for 10 months and resulted in over 700,000 casualties, including some 300,000 killed. The Germans designed Verdun to be a battle of attrition. The German Chief of Staff, General Erich von Falkenhayn, planned to "bleed the French white" and lure them into a battle where they would suffer heavy casualties, hoping to break their will to fight. The Germans targeted Verdun because it was a heavily fortified stronghold, and its fall would be a blow to French morale. Despite extensive German preparations, the French were largely unprepared for the offensive. The initial bombardment allowed the Germans to advance and overrun the first French defensive lines. German forces captured Fort Douaumont, the largest and highest fortification on th...

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’). ...
