Three Soviet POWs, one who looks like a civilian, stand in their own grave moments before their execution by German Wehrmacht forces. Eastern Front, 1942

Three Soviet POWs, one who looks like a civilian, stand in their own grave moments before their execution by German Wehrmacht forces. Eastern Front, 1942.

Some examples from an interrogation report of *U-490*, sunk 12 June 1944:

>The captain, Oberleutnant z. S. d. R. Wilhelm Gerlach, was 39 years of age.  For many years before the war, he had served in the merchant marine and had won his master’s certificate.  At the outbreak of war, he was drafted to the U-boat arm as an enlisted man.  He served for a time under Kapitänleutnant Johann Mohr on U-124, first as quartermaster and later as executive officer.  U-490 was his first U-boat command.  His men were rather scornful of Gerlach.  They felt that he was too timid and resembled a clerk in a shoe store more than a naval officer.  He was pleasant and polite but very secure with his interrogators.  They were astonished to find that a man of his age and worldly experience had succumbed so completely to Nazi doctrine.  His mentality had become hopelessly warped and he actually stated that if he felt that he would never see his wife again, he would instruct her to have an illegitimate child every year for the glory of the Vaterland. …

>The engineer officer, Oberleutnant (Ing.) d. R, Hubert Rotter-Woletz, 27 years of age, had been a graduate engineer in civilian life.  When war broke out, he joined the navy and served for a time in mineswepers.  He was greatly respected by his men for his knowledge and ability.  They stated that he had several inventions to his credit, the patents of which bore his name.  He was completely secure with his interrogators and proved to be an ardent Nazi.  He was stubbornly convinced that Germany would win the war and actually believed that the German people were endowed with superhuman qualities.

Most of the reports don’t mention the political views of any officer in their summary, but these two have stuck in my mind for a couple years. Note that the Kriegsmarine is often considered the cleanest branch of the Nazi war machine, though in part because there hasn’t been as much scholarly study as the Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe.

Executing The Beautiful Spectre.

Executing The Beautiful Spectre. Seen here are several former SS camp guards and overseers executed after the first Stutthof trial, in 1946. The Stutthof trials were a series of war crime tribunals held in Poland for the prosecution of former Stutthof concentration camp staff and officials. The Stutthof concentration camp was the first German concentration camp outside German borders in WWII, located near the village of Stutthof, Free City of Danzig(now Gdánsk, Poland). Stutthof was originally a civilian internment camp, but eventually expanded and became a vast network of forced-labor camps. It turned into a regular concentration camp in early 1942. A crematorium and gas chamber were added in 1943-44, to be used as a part of the final solution. Over 60 000 prisoners of Stutthof and its subcamps died as a result of executions, disease, starvation, brutal treatment, forced labour ,and death marches after forced evacuations. Soviet forces liberated Stutthof on May 9, 1945. One of 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’). ...
