 “Men of the US 1st Marines Division at Cape Gloucester, New Britain, Bismarck Archipelago, December 1943.


Although the Allied victory at Guadalcanal was a step forward in protecting shipping lanes, Australia was still threatened by the Japanese Empire in 1943.

Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger directed the 1st Marines to capture another strategically located Japanese airfield and garrison. This time the 1st Marines would land at Cape Gloucester, on the island of New Britain. The Marines landed in an area known as Cape Gloucester on December 26th, 1943.

The landings went mostly unopposed by the Japanese defenders but the Marine’s strongest enemy was already there: a wall of green foliage extending at points right to the water line. Giant trees, rotted or damaged by gunfire fell at the slightest tremor. One is said to have fallen on a Marine, claiming the battle’s first casualty. Marines hit three feet of rough water as they leave their LST to take the beach at Cape Gloucester, New Britain.

Following naval and air bombardment, provided by U.S. and Australian forces, the Marines initially encountered little resistance when they reached the beaches at Cape Gloucester on December 26th, 1943: While the operations on Arawe were under way, Krueger had developed plans to seize the Japanese airfield and garrison at Cape Gloucester on the western tip of New Britain.

He assigned this mission to the 1st Marine Division, combat veterans of Guadalcanal. Because enemy defenses were concentrated near the airfield, the marines landed on an undefended beach about six miles to the east on December 26th, 1943. Once ashore, they advanced to the airfield along a narrow strip of dry ground.

Japanese resistance was surprisingly light, and the marines controlled the airfield by December 29th. Japanese aircraft did manage to inflict some damage on the amphibious assault force supporting the operation, sinking one destroyer and damaging other support ships.”

The most horrifying and disturbing video on the internet

There were some pretty gruesome videos - a man with each arm tied via a rope to the back of a car and then both cars would drive off in opposite directions and rip both arms off, Los Zetas beh£adings, the Budd Dwyer su!cide. Something that I could never stomach was seeing animals being harmed and I always refused to watch anything involving animals. The Barnabas Gamez Castro and Felix Gamez Garcia beh£ading. Baranabas was the uncle of Felix, both were drug couriers for the Sinaloa cartel. The video starts with Barnabas (sitting on the left) and Felix a bit bl00died (on the right), sitting on the floor leaning back against a wall, they’re sitting right next to each other. Both appear quite calm, given the circumstances; like they have accepted their fate. It appeared like they were forced in to making some sort of apology or confession… then you hear a chainsaw revving up, it’s placed to the neck of Barnabas and he grimaces, blood splatters all over his nephew and you can see a look of ...

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’). ...
