The Executions Of The Guards Of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp - Full WW2 Documentary

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- One of the most brutal and horrific concentration camps of the Second World War was Bergen-Belsen. It was staffed by many evil guards such as Irma Grese and Josef Kramer who became notorious for their involvement in crimes against humanity and execution. It was a site where there was a huge amount of torture and suffering, as prisoners were left to succumb to disease and starvation.
But at the end of the conflict, there was a set of trials that took place to bring those former guards of Bergen-Belsen to trial. In this video we look at those men and women who were known for depravity, and they were condemned at the end of the trials.
Join us today as we look at, 'The RUTHLESS Executions Of The Guards Of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp'

I don't believe in censorship of the videos of what happened in WW2, Because history should never be forgotten
Agreed
History on the just and negative should always be reminded. New generations shouldn't repeat our generations mistakes. Make that loud and clear to new generations.
We are live in 1938 of Germany as I speak
Don’t believe look it up
People out of fear did what American government said to do during the pandemic plandemic
They did what they did because the captive ones weren't angels at all , but TH-cam never mentioned it . Its always telling people's lies and calumnies !
The chosen ones were pedos and killas , now they digging tunnels all over new York
Some schools don't want children to learn about the ww2. Because it's too traumatic for children to learn about.
My Dad went into Bergen-Belsen to help liberate it. He said they could smell it for miles. They made the German guards go through the piles of bodies, some were still alive but they died shortly after. They rounded up the villagers marched them over to witness the burial they denied knowing what was going on. He never got over what he saw. Very sad.
Having been there, and seeing how close the houses are, there is no way they didn't know! They would have had to sweep up regularly from all the ash falling, and it fell like snow! I was based just down the road.
@@dawnyp4617 thank you my Dad never told me how close the houses were so that is good to know.
Of course it smelled - they're Jews!
@wenken24 Massive respect to your dad, that must have been traumatic for him. My Grandad refused to talk about what he witnessed.
That’s what they portrayed in Band of Brothers too. Really powerful episode.
😢 As a young German women I would like to thank those brave men and women who fought against the cruel Nazi-Regime ❤
I grew up at my grandparents who told me a lot about the WWII 😢
My grannys family hided three jewish families and helped them to escape 😢 They were so afraid the Nazis would catched them because that would have mean they would have become taking to concentration camp too 😢
We all need to remember about this cruelty and inhumanity, this should never been forgotten!
❤❤❤
Lying on the internet for likes, how pathetic.

How anyone can even THINK a dictatorship would be preferable over Democracy blows my mind.
Those people can’t know what they are thinking, but some of them do. Beyond horrific.
Hitler was elected.
Just look at the US now, it’s happening as we type, very scary. People happily giving their vote to someone who wants to be a dictator all the while they think they’re the “most free”. Terrifying!
I hope Americans know this when they vote in November 2024. Project 25 reads like a playbook of Nazism. In my opinion.
Democrat Socialist voted for National Socialist, it was very democratic.
After the footage of Shani Louk emerged from Oct 7, 2023 Democrat Socialist professors at Cornell University said it was exhilarating
@@MrAnarchris Oh my, look! "Democrat Socialist". Lol. Scary words, there. Why is it conservatives think that helping others is so evil, it threatens the very survival of society? And why are people who think like that so easily manipulated? Are you really that gullible?
I had two (British ) relatives whom helped free the remainder of prisoners in Bergen Belsen . They told me when I was a young child, after the war , the horrific conditions of MANY dead bodies , many people almost dead, emaciated and barely alive. The place had a stench of death every place. . I visited two of the Polish death camps when I was in my teens. I was struck by the silence of the place. Not even birds were singing . Other visitors were silently sobbing as we visited the former buildings where inmates were ware housed. Deeply moving .
They were pdos n klls
I met a lady who survived this camp, she was very ill when the British liberated the camp and British soldiers brought water but she was knocked to the ground. Soldiers picked her up and took her to the field hospital, she was grateful for the care that British medics nursed her nack to health. She was truly a hero of WW2.
She certainly was a hero!
I'm glad she survived.
Many concentration camps victims sadly died when they were first liberated and first fed.
Because they hadn't eaten proper food in normal quantity for so long, when they first ate their fill their stomachs couldn't take it and they died.
The liberators were heartbroken.
They immediately realized the problem and stopped distributing food.
They then started feeding the victims tiny portions and gradually increased the amounts until the victims could handle normal meals.
The horrors the nazis inflicted are beyond understanding.
Take care!
👋🇨🇦
Those kind people that saved her shouldnt be ignored
She was a very strong and determined individual but the true heroes of WW2 are the brave young men like Cpl AJ Williams who chose to serve and paid the price of not being returned home to us.
The Survivor,the British soldiers and the medics were all equally heroes in their own ways.Thank goodness the Allies,and all those fighting behind enemy lines,and others,managed to stop them, before it was too late, before Hitler became leader of all continental Europe and all the Islands.I think it was a bit touch and go (or as ex-manager of Manchester United Alex Ferguson said it:"Squeaky Bum Time"!) as to whether we stemmed the tide of Blitzkrieg or not. Can you imagine having to live like this(if you were lucky)?As I have Romany ancestry,had the Nazis won,I would be for the high-jump as soon as they took over.
I'm glad this video talks about the Bergen-Belsen camp,as I know it was this one and it's liberation,that most impinged on the British psyche,at the time, mainly because the British army had liberated it.
I'm so glad that we hadn't got rid of hanging at this period.Good ol' Albert Pierrepoint,we could do with his kind of 'help' nowadays

My Grandad(an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander.Rip🤕✌️)was a PoW for 5 years during WW2 after his capture at St Valery on the french Coast with his Division(51 Highland) by Rommels 7th Panzer Division.He spent the last 2 years of the war held in the Hell of Bergen-Belsen,where he was finally and mercifully liberated by his fellow Brits in April 1945.God bless all who suffered and Died in that terrible conflict and a curse on all Warmongers Past and Present....."Lest we forget!".🇬🇧⚔️⚓️🛡🇬🇧😎✌️

Wow, thank you for sharing!
Your Grandad was a hero!❤
I hope that his experiences were written down.

I’d like to say a personal thank you to your grandfather and ALL the other heroes that fought through the most horrendous conditions to give us the freedom we have today. I, will NEVER forget. ❤
My grandfather was one of the allied soldiers who liberated Bergen-Belsen. He said that the inmates were begging to be shot when the Allies arrived. Despite having been at war in North Africa, Italy and from D-Day all the way into fortress Europe, a seasoned soldier who'd seen almost unimaginable horrors, what he experienced in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen haunted him until he died.
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
@@anthonyreed480, what makes absolutely no sense?
@@Pete-tq6in They were "begging to be shot" in a place where you can be killed for looking at a guard the wrong way.
@@anthonyreed480 you clearly know very little about Bergen Belsen at the end stage of the war.
Many prisoners had been taken there from other camps and dumped there. The guards didn’t have sufficient ammunition to have shot them all, even had they wanted too. They knew the Allies were due to arrive and most guards had fled the camp.
The prisoners were starving and diseased and had seen terrible privations, what makes you think that many of them didn’t want to die quickly and painlessly?
My grandfather was a brave and honest man, he fought on three fronts, he was not a liar.
Read a book @Anthony because every single combat veteran who was there and wrote about their war experiences the same thing. Combat was hell but this was pure evil. Thousands of dead or dying people who were obviously tortured haunted those men to their graves. My late neighbor who island hopped across the Pacific was haunted by the civilian deaths on Okinawa.
My Mums cousin was part of the British Army unit that liberated Belsen. My mum said he never really recovered from what he saw there.
As the generation portrayed in this excellent presentation breath their last, it is only by the carefully archived record that we hold up the bravery of prisoners and liberators against the inhuman brutality of the captors.
We Must Keep the Record!!

. One female guard not listed here was put on trial. She had been moved around to 5 different camps and retrained claiming she was too nice. Number 8 woman at Belsen trials. Ehlert last name
She did not kill anyone and looked after her inmates
Forced into it and originally was sentenced to 15 years. Served 12.
She had been found guilty at one court but since she showed kindness there actually were camp survivors who defended her saying she was forced to do some strip searches but did not hurt them. She had helped the sick .
The guard lived to be in her 80s while her 23 year old boss was hanged.
In such a hell at least there was one kind person
I found her story interesting as the camp survivors saved her life because of her kindness to them.
Anne Frank (1929 --1946) was at Bergen-Belsen. She died there in March, 1945, because the overcrowded conditions brought in a typhus epidemic.
I went there last year to see her grave
So that would be 1929-1945 then 😊 I visited her house /museum before being taken. Unbelievable living conditions 😢
What makes me mad about this is her father should have left early believe it wasn’t happening and got out to late.
He survived move to America
@@judithhstevens126 they were not able to leave not enough visas
The woman at .39 who walks out with her head held exaggeratedly high has always bothered me. Did she really think to herself "Ive done nothing wrong. I will walk out in front of those cameras with my head held high."?
I mean, kind of yeah. Look at the current state of US politics. They have a leader who is mentally ill and truly thinks he’s in the right.
Ah, she thought she was in the clear. All those women were hanged by the Allies, I believe.
If you served in WW2 against the axis, you have my respect. Thank you for ending these horrible people.i hope all of the Holocaust survivors are very comfortable financially and physically right now. There is no way to repay someone for something like this though.
Look what those zionist do now ! In Gaza...nothing learned from their torturers...shame !
There are very few still alive. Considering the Nazis typically exterminated older men women and all children first thing. Some children made it. A handful of Mengele’s twins made it. At this point, any survivors would have to be at least 90 years old at minimum (assuming they were 8-10 years old between 40-45

My father landed on sword beach on D day, fought for Caen, the battle of Normandy, then up to Holland and Nijmegen bridge, from there to the northern shoulder of the battle of the bulge in the Ardennes of Belgium, then across into Germany and down through Germany until he was at the liberation of Belsen. He said it was awful.

And these are the people the neo-nutshells here in the US look up to. I had a teacher whose father was one of the heroes that liberated that camp. When one of my classmates decided it would be “cool” to decorate his book cover with a swastika, he brought in the pictures from the camps and gave us a history lesson that has struck with me 50 years later
@buffb6014 no they just want to continue the hate and the “our race is better than yours “ ideology

I had an uncle who was one of the fordt in belsen. He never spoke to a german again and couldnt come to see us when stationed not far from belsen
Yet German POWs were treated better than American black troops. The American black soldiers were barred from the going to canteens and socializing with white people, but German soldiers were allowed in. How sad was that?
170 lb and she's only 5 feet 4 inches. That's kind of heavy as we can see from the picture. I just can't help myself from thinking about all the luxurious food she ate whilst surrounded by people literally starving to death.

I fear the Tiktok generation who remarkably don't know anything about WW1 or WW2 would not show the same grit. My son knows all about it at 13 because we did our family tree and he took a real interest. His Teacher couldn't believe he knew who Franz Ferdinand was, the rest of the class laughed and said 'that's a band'!
Worrying. We must keep educating future generations because it could happen again. Especially in the current climate.
You said it mate this modern generation have not a clue about real life take their phone /Internet they would have a meltdown
These tik tok kids would more likely me the nazis
or you old people not giving them a chance are the problem. genocide is happening right now and it seems like the young ones are the only ones with the balls to fight it.
I taught my daughter as well. Being that I lived in West Germany in the 1980s and visited Dachau, among others, she was taught first hand about this, along with the Cold War. Being that when I lived in West Germany the wall was still up. I have never hid history from my daughter, no matter how horrific it is.
The college aren’t as seen on tv etc of conniving with the Palestinian
If we don’t stop them now
Everyone in America that wants their freedom will not have it
If they get control.
It's so brutally easy to turn a blind eye.
I can't imagine the PTSD that the liberators must have experienced when they saw what evil had been done in those camps. I wonder how many of them felt horrible guilt because they hadn't gotten there sooner. Wow, it makes my heart ache. And that's not even to say what hell the prisoners suffered. I literally can't fathom what it was like.
My dad was in the army and we lived not too far from Belsen, and I remember my granny and grandad coming over for a visit. They wanted to go and see the Belsen camp, we piled into the car and off we went, and my dad, who never in his life got lost driving, convieniently got lost, and he'd left the map on desk back at base. Funny how not one of us believed him

It was very sad her sister died the day before she did. 😢
It interests me how time and again the accused criminals claimed at trial that somehow they were “worse” at being “the worst” of humanity, or improbably “better” than their cohort or commending officers. As if only murdering starved prisoners for stealing a spoiled potato, taking a turnip, or eating discarded potato peels were benign and permissible killings which weren’t as bad as those crimes committed by others.
Claiming to be “less horrible” doesn’t excuse any unconscionable actions perpetrated by any human being who was armed, well fed, adequately housed, and able to rest and relax while captives suffered horrifically and pondered when they or those beside them would be further tortured or murdered.
Oh…these guards and camp personnel were quite “guilty enough” indeed!!
And if one of those guards were you, what would you have done? Do you know? Are you sure of that? Would you sacrifice your own life for a principle? Maybe so...
@phyllismathon9379
Thank you Phyllis for the question.
Indeed, I do not with certainty know my future actions based upon the prior experiences which form my frame of reference.
I do not know, and can not know, my future feelings, thoughts and conduct as lived fully in the present. The Stanford University “prisoners and guards” role playing experience which was within mere days so horrific that Phillip Zimbardo(?) terminated the “lesson” quite early, taught me that we are each and all potential humans behaving in humanely.
The electric shock experiment - the so-called systematic electrocution” of a (planted) subject by a volunteer interrogator tells me much about societal pressure, the willingness to set aside compassion in order to please a “superior,” the experiment overseer, and the invisible line between the Have’s and the Have Not’s of the power continuum.
There have been hundreds of publicly known real world examples of mob mentality, abuse of military power by detainment personnel, crimes against citizenry by law enforcement officers, overstepping of authority by members of the judicial and governmental leadership strati, and countless acts of domestic violence committed out of sight and sound of neighbors, friends, family and aid organizations.
Human beings, to paraphrase and extrapolate upon the words of Lewis Carrol’s Dr. Jekkyl, are all at a moment a good person or a monster.
Your query is appreciated, Phyllis, for its stimulation of mulling and musing.
IF any german had opposed the reich, they would have been tortured and killed. So, any resistance would not only have ended that person's life, but it would have been for nothing.
So, most all of us would have gone along, to save our own skin, and not waste it. There's no "maybe" there. But a large proportion of the german population were entirely behind hitler's mass murder, that is both obvious and proven. No "maybe" there, either.
@@phyllismathon9379
At time point10:26 you state that the bodies were taken down and cremated. This was not so. They were buried withing the grounds of Hamblin prison. Some years later on after 1950, when the Prision was handed back to the German authorities, it was In March 1954, that the German prison authorities set about exhuming the bodies from the prison yard, identifying the remains and putting them in separate coffins for reburial in individual plots. A total of 91 bodies were reburied in hallowed ground in Hamelin's Am Wehl Cemetery. Today it is just a field with long grass as the Cemetery officials said no memorials would be allowed on the graves; but wooden crosses would be allowed if relatives paid for them. Right up until the 1980s, there were local citizens’ initiatives to tend the graves and erect wooden crosses in memory of those executed. I understand that the wooden crosses were removed following complaints that the area was a rallying point for Neo Nazi groups in 1986.
The hangings of the Belsen guards are well-depicted in the movie "Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman" available on TH-cam.
For whatever reason to this day I’m still surprised how ordinary people can seemingly turn into ruthless psychopaths like this, committing horrific crimes against humanity. Today we’re seeing some of the same things and ordinary people pretend it’s not happening. Ordinary people so far gone by propaganda and psychological warfare on behalf of powerful politicians they truly believe they’re more important than the other. Dehumanizing and propaganda are what lead us ordinary people into very dark places
there is a movie called "the relief of bergen-belsen". don't remember who made it, but they also used original footage from the british when they found the place in it. it's a really hard movie to watch. but highly recommended.
One really sad part of this is that when the allies tried to feed the liberated prisoners, some died due to not being able to digest solid food after being starved so long. That must've traumatized the allied soldiers even more. I hate nazis.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 💔🙏😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sorry to have to say this, and please take it as constructive criticism, but the narrator's voice is completely wrong for the gravity of these videos. It sounds as if he is reading a recipe from a cookbook. There is very little in the way of modulation or emphasis in his delivery, just a casual and conversational tone. Videos like this need sombreness and drama in the voice-over to do justice to the importance of the film.
Many were not brought to trial
Less than 1/10th were convicted.. makes me livid that the other doctor (by records just as bad as megler) WAS ACQUITTED due to “not being a part of the experiment’s prisoner selection” Basically the 10,000 of his “experimenals” aka victims, almost all died, the few that survived were permanently disabled all got no justice all because he *claimed* (and was believed obviously hence acquittal) that “Frank chose the patients not me” absolutely disgusting that they got zero consequences and got to live comfy lives and probably still deep down think they did nothing wrong.. makes me fkin seething and additional fact: Hitler never ONCE visited ANY of the concentration camps- speaks volumes and shows that people lower down than him were making despicable depraved choices.. That ENTIRE SS DEATH HOUSE HEADS SHOULDVE BEEN CONVICTED and they weren’t!!!
I Appreciate how well Researched your videos are, as well as the Time, and Effort. Thank You.
Albert Pierrepoint was not ruthless; read his autobiography, Executioner: Pierrepoint. He knew that the prisoners could hear their graves being dug on the eve of their execution. He made his feelings known but the grave-digging continued. He felt sorry for the criminals, saying without their uniforms and ranks they were a pathetic group of people. He said that Irma Grese was as bonny a girl as he'd ever seen. Anyone who went into Bergen-Belsen with the liberating troops would agree that these people deserved the death penalty.
I agree that he was not a ruthless man. He had a job to do and tried to do it as professionally and humanely as possible. I've read his autobiography. The film 'Pierrepoint' starring Timothy Spall was excellent.
I served in Germany and was working at Hannover Airport. We lived in Celle and Bergen-Belsen was 10 minutes away. I used to collect signals from the base at Hohne. That base was once home to the SS officers. The Roundhouse was the building they stayed in. Very strange doing my weekly shop, as they had a massive NAAFI.
Visited Bergen-Belsen a few times especially when family/friends came to visit.

Thank you for your videos of history past.
I cannot imagine being a prisoner in Bergen- Belsen or any Nazi concentration Camps.
My only criticism is you repeat yourself over and over. Some facts only need to be said once. I get the women first, piers does his measurements etc etc. Unless this was smaller videos put into a larger ( still could of edited those parts out) I don't see why. Maybe repeat facts every 3-4 people to remind the listener of the routine. Instead feels like I'm being repeatedly smacked in the face making it hard for me to get through the entire video. Like being read a book for a 4 year old to an adult. But the individual trials and specifics of what they did is well done 👏 long way of saying try to repeat yourself much less 😅
Yes, this bears the seams of several shorter videos stitched together. As a long-form; the information is very poorly organized and repetitive.

Odd! How so many liberators were shocked when they entered the camps even after listening to Hitler's speeches before Aug-1939. America, Britain, Canada were amongst the most rabid nations about the policy of taking in all the people or refugees that Hitler didn't want. House of Commons-U.S. senate claimed to be shocked. Of course the lovely Vatican who gave exit visas to Eichmann, Mengele, Priepke, Stengele, Wagner, 1945 and beyond. But, none to Jewish families 1937-38. Bergen-Belsen is where Anne Franke died. Neither U.S.A.A.F. or R.A.F. ever did anything to rip out Nazi railroads going to death camps, Nazi deportation centers, perhaps even the ovens of Auschwitz itself. They blew up other Nazi railroads to bits though.
There wasnt much point in blowing up railroads- they could be repaired in a matter of hours, often using slave labour.
@lorakossen1830 Didn't do S... to try and even slowdown Holocaust and mass murders, then had audacity to be shocked! Blew up other railroads all the time. Could have broadcast on BBC names of all Nazi officials to be rounded up and executed everyday before May 8th, 1945. Didn't even try psychological warfare. Didn't even try to make a big dent in the mass murder.
Look at their faces awaiting trial. No remorse. Mean, cruel faces
Thank you for your videos they are really informative and true, what the Nazis did here and all the other camps was pure evil, Anne Frank and her sister Margot dide there having going through the horrors of Auschwitz,or should I say murdered,so cruel and inhuman what they did, could you do a full length video about the Anne Frank story it's so incredible what all these people went through, thanks again,
Volkenrath was a hairdresser? Well that explains that statement of a hair style as you wouldn't forget that in a hurry sure made her easy to identify by liberated prisoners.
So glad these stories are being told. Too many deny the cruelty of the Germans...
It was a collision of history that bought it about. Most Germans didn't want the nazi until Hindenburg against his better judgement was persuaded to make the little corporal chancellor. It was human beings indoctrinated into a set of actions . Believing them to be right because the government said it was.
It was the cruelty of human beings caught in a collision of history. It's happened all through history. It wasn't a set of actions peculiar to Germans.
Execution was too quick for that filth
Good evening, and Thank You
At 1:26:50 the Major Munro who gave that speech is my grandfather, who was called on by the British Army to give these war criminals a defense. He also was the solictor for Bormann and Hossler.
Their fürher and Göring took the easy way out.
I believe these monsters were given the easy way out.
It's sad to me that some people are trying to do this again but luckily there is one place that isn't Poland i wonder y
I had 2 family members in camps. I have met and talked to many survivors. One distant relative was a Catholic nun, who hid Jews. They killed her and she was elderly.
This is a permanent wound to the families and survivors. An entire generation gone.
Look bro, I get it, you want runtime. I understand but it was annoying hearing about the camp conditions, the details of Hamlin, and the process of execution of the Nazis for every individual person. These details are only necessary once in the video.
Ok Karen 🙄
@@harleygurl5698 what is the goal of this reply? Is it not a reasonable critique to say that restating literally the exact same details over and over gets annoying?
@@longdeath8843 lmfao 🤣 do what you got to do Karen 🤣🤣
@@harleygurl5698 that's what I thought
@longdeath8843 yeah your so tough Karen hahahahahahahaha
No Rest for the Wicked.
Oh my God he is as mature as a toddler.
My late father was one of the first one's to Liberate Bergon Belson and he had Knightmares for over fifty years until his own death on Monday April 29th 1996 and until I saw the old film from that camp I couldn't understand why he had Knightmares for over fifty years and I was Shocked beyond words and My late Uncle Norman fought in the Burma Campaign and he had anti Japanese feeling all his life and he would never forgive the Japanese😂
The Japanese could be terrible people as a result of narcissistic, supremacy beliefs and attitudes. What they did in Nanking and elsewhere is unforgivable. This is why it is important to teach the children humility.
My Grandad served in WW2. He suffered what we know now as PTSD. He would scream in his sleep. My Dad said he would never speak about it. He had bullets in him, and old shrapnel wounds. I never met him as he died at 42 before I was born. I wish I'd met him and I really feel for my Dad who was only 15 when he died.
Spelled "Bergen Belsen"
and "nightmares".
I'm sorry about the Spelling mistakes it's this Bloody phone and I've got Mild learning difficulties due to me being disabled
First...I thank and respect your late dad for his service...I cannot imagine the horrors and atrocities you Dad saw...up close and personal...his mind must have been blown...I don't think you can witness such depravity and walk away unscathed...
Hell is forever,and forever, never ending
Sounds like the Tory party they want to make people die from ill treatment.
I want to watch this and learn, but I find your narration style off-putting.
Could you do better puppy1584?
@@audreyricci6383 yes!
Thanks!!
Thank you for the Researched the Videos😢
Is repeating the same facts over and over again the new style for documentaries.
Repeat the facts so maybe some will remember. Goebbels plan, was to repeat the lies until the masses believed it as truth. Not much different then some of the propaganda today especially. Read Project 25 and tell people to vote that out!!
My friends dad was the leader of the British who liberated that camp. An American German. He said his father was irreparable after he came home.
I highly recommend the film “Pierrepoint”, renamed in North America as Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (even though he wasn’t the last British hangman) for a fascinating look at the executioner, especially during the period discussed in this documentary.
They should never blurr out stuff. It keeps the truth from being known.
TH-cam may be responsible for that.
The people who make these documentaries seem to be tireless in their efforts to find narrators with the most repellant voices and delivery styles...plus the editing reflects almost a total disregard for an intelligent and convincing skill. The film images are often repetitive, irrelevant or inappropriate..just filler and arbitrary scenery which does not inspire confidence..bad job, editors, you should report back to the employment office..i hear mcdolds is hiring.
in some countrys today are stil terribel things happening today. lets focus on that or the past happens again.
These monsters were given more respect during their trials & subsequent executions than their hundreds of thousands of victims were given smmfh
Good they were evil!!!!!!!
After watching this documentary. I now understand and appreciate the job that my ancestor, Albert Pierrepoint, performed.
There was a man in my county who lost his whole family in one of the camps he was the only survivor his name was max trumpeters he has passed on now
Interesting And A Insight Of What Happened To Innocent People Of World War 2 🕊️🕊️❤️❤️🙏🙏
I met a survivor in 1998 , according to Her , the “lampshades” were a thing , that is a FACT.
They absolutely weren't.
There's a book about the pursuit of one; to prove they exist. IIRC, the search came up empty.
Yes especially if they had tattoos. One collector was a female Nazi guard. The Nazi's had a communal gathering room (a lunchroom if you will) that contained jars of human body parts all lined up. One was even a punishment lying on a shelf. Just sickening!!!
@@badgoat666nope it's true. They liked to collect skin with fancy tattoos
They were at Buchenwald. The commandants wife used nice looking tattoos and had them turned into lampshades, commander Koch’s wife
All these horrors are human-made.
It should never be forgotten
Tell your dad I said thank you for serving our country ❤
Which man was more proud of both their work and reputation ? Dr. Klein ? Or 'The Beast' ?.
They were "" only obeying orders""
Isn’t this the concentration camp where Anne frank, her sister and mother died 😢
Three weeks before the camp was liberated
Please show some respect for ALL of those killed in battle, murdered in camps, blown up or whatever other doom befell them. It is not and never should just be the Anne Frank and family pity party!!!
@@sarahbowman7566 what was disrespectful about my question? Go be a keyboard Karen elsewhere.
Just Anne Frank and her sister. Mrs Frank starved at auschwitz. She stopped eating
Hey dude clearly you’re doing well with you’re channel, but the inflection in your voice is so repetitive it becomes very annoying. Like, if you were to read something with dialogue is that how you would read it? Because if it’s to convey a certain tone or ambience I kind of get that but it just annoys me lol. Maybe you could talk more normally and add music for ambience.
All three actually look depraved.
I knew a man abe weinrib who survived bergen belsen, the germans thought he was dead and threw him in a pit, he was almost buried alive before being liberated. He lived to 101
Wondering how you "work as a clock"
Executing cooks and guards was criminal. They took the fall as top SS leaders and scientists were employed by the allies.
These videos are hard to watch. The sound of your narration make them even harder to. watch.
If all children were killed off, why are the children in this film seen rolling up their sleeves to show the numeric tattoo on their forearms?
They were the last children in the camp . Therefore they still had the tattoos. Rip fk the German guards
They were twins used in experiments
Read up on Josef Mengeles twin experiments and you'll have your answer
Kramer is pronounced Kraymer.
Eye for an eye
Ok
I know you’re trying very hard to be Very Accurate about the executions But telling us Every Single Time about weighting them, putting a hood over their face and the chalk X is too much…we get it…it was precise and done the same way Everytime And the women were executed first.
Sorry to complain about a very well researched article But it got on my nerves!
My grandad was part of the liberation team
I became involved with a family through one of my daughters seeing one of their sons . The grandma had been in a concentration camp when she was a teenager, before she had a family anyway. The thing is, the whole family were so antisemetic. I never could understand because I could never ask them why. It's a mystery to me.
They torched it all in the end to get rid of the typhus.
too repetitive
Why are nuns among the targeted detained?
The narration is so monotone, that makes me sleep. The content is great though.
Wonder why the British didn’t cremate the female prisoners like the males?? Video states Grete was buried in a coffin after execution.
This is no accurate about Scandanavia
People find a reason to harm each other because they feel over whelmed by the number of them all. So they devide them by race, religion, and financial groups.
