Something that strikes me is every time there is a cult or society or deep history points of interest regarding 18th century, more specifically around 1800-1850s, times. It's almost like ther have been a reset in history from that point of time where we no longer have "real" data or information about what really happened for sure at that time and beyond.. Skull and bones society was created then, the modern world civilisation as we know it today was essentially started back then, all the basic technology and beginning of our modern science really started to move forward from this point and not earlier.. all the famous scientist that got us to where we are today, like Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Newton and many more are from around that time ish, and it seems ver much to me like much of our history was corrupted from that point and forward.. What do yall think about this? Thanx
The skull and bones have been a military symbol for centuries in many armies of the world and other organizations (not only in Europe). Also in Germany they date back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. At that time, this symbolism had a different meaning than it is commonly believed. During the Napoleonic Wars, such markings were worn by Prussian troops fighting for liberation from French tyranny. That is why in Germany they were associated as a symbol of liberation. After the First World War, German tankers began to wear such markings (on the lapels of their uniforms). However, it was not widely known, because the Germans had long concealed the fact that they were creating a tank army. Tankers considered themselves to be the continuators of the Prussian Black Hussars, hence the adoption of their symbols and some traditions. For this reason, they were later often mistaken by the Americans for SS men. Therefore, many tankers were mercilessly abused and killed. There were even attempts (by the Allies) to explain to their own soldiers the difference between tankers and SS troops. Unfortunately, the confusion remained, because apart from the army, the Waffen SS units also fought on the front. They also had tanks units. For this reason, the Allied soldiers did not distinguish between these formations and the bloody battle against the tankers (hereinafter mistakenly identified as the SS) continued until the end of the war. Hitler, after coming to power, created the SS formation (initially they were to be only a unit of his personal protection). Some two Nazis designed the famous black uniforms for this newly formed paramilitary formation. (It is not true that Hugo Boss invented them. His company only won a government tender to make these uniforms, long before the war.) Designers of these uniforms wanted the SS to make a positive impression and be associated with the former liberating Hussars. Therefore, without asking anyone's permission, they appropriated the Skull and Bones symbol, completely ignoring the fact that it had been used by tank troops for years. Even the army couldn't argue with the SS.
All right, except the part with the Prussian Hussars. The German armoured branch never adopted the traditions of the Prussian cavalry. The reason why they had skulls on their uniforms is more related to the Freikorps that put this sign on their AV7 tanks. There is a video of Military History Visualized where Ralph Raths director of the German Panzermuseum at Munster explains the uniform and also the background of the death head.
Of course, that is also why the SS soldiers working in death camps wore skulls and bones as their unit insignia with the SS. Because it symbolizes liberation. Of course.
Symbols are one thing and real life is another. And yes, many people run away in horror when they hear the Arabic "saalam" and so do the Palestinians when they hear the Hebrew "Shalom". Both words mean 'Peace'. The sign of the cross (Christian symbol of redemption and salvation) for many has become a symbol of annihilation and destruction (e.g. the Crusades affected not only Jews, pagans and Muslims, but also Christians with different beliefs. Therefore, for example, for Orthodox Christians, the "Latin cross" has a different, rather negative meaning than for Western Christians Vietnamese, Chinese and Russians react allergic to seeing stars and stripes. Examples can be multiplied. The Nazis appropriated and used many symbols cynically (isn't the swastika a symbol of peace in Asia?). Regards.
Hussards in WW I and other units used it too. Haven't you ever seen that picture of Von Mackensen with a beret displaying a HUGE cloth made skull and bones? Even the savages from Wagner mob use a skull in their patch. It was used in Vietnam too. And in units of the Brazilian Army and the Portuguese Military Police, not to mention many - by no means all - Pirate flags from the XVII Century. I think everyone used it except my Grandmother.
The Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale University. Only members can enter their building. Even the president of Yale is not permitted to enter unless they are a member.
That's the Bonesmen, or "DEKES" (Delta Kappa Epsilon). It used to be the medical fraternity at Yale. Now it's a big party fraternity with members in every field of endeavor. They went coed in 1969 and take only 15 members a year. There are a ton of conspiracy theories about them. Like they have a catacomb under their frat house full of the remains of historical figures (and a couple of presidents). They venerate the number 322, the year BC the Greek philosopher Demosthenes died. They set their clocks or watches 5 minutes out of time; regular time is called "barbarian standard" (i.e, non-Greek). George W Bush served as Rush Week Chairman at Yale his senior year, while John Kerry was President of the fraternity. Kerry supposedly blocked desegregating the frat while he was there, refusing to allow Jewish or Black pledges to join (despite the frat taking such pledges since the 1930s if they were athletes). Which is ironic because his father was a Czech Jew who converted to Catholicism and his paternal grandfather was an Orthodox Jew. His mother was a Forbes and a Protestant. He was raised a Episcopalian. He attended a prep school in Massachusetts that didn't take Catholics or Jews.
also Pirates of the Caribbean kinda adopted it. I think it probably symbolized bringing death it’s way. Flying that flag on your ship kinda indicated there was going to be a real dog fight ……coming your way
Of course, that is why the Skull and Bones were used as the specific symbol for the SS guards working in death camps such as Auschwitz. Because it represents liberation. Of course.
Yes. Problem is, the Soviets were not very sensible to those subtleties; for them, any German displaying a Skull & Bones was a SS, even if he was in any Wehrmacht Panzerkorps unit. They saw Waffen SS troops everywhere, even in places where they had never been, and often regular HEER Panzer crews paid the price needlessly. No one cared much. After all, my Ukrainian Wife's Grandmother was a nurse in the Soviet Army and recounts that if receiving German wounded they allways finished them with air injections, that kill instantly by stopping the heart. Nowadays in Ukraine it's the Snipers, that if captured are killed on the spot by both sides, and this is ongoing since 2014. Artillery man often have one finger cut as reprisal, and if you're in the Infantry they will at the very least beat the crap out of you, and more than once. My Stepson, Father of two, is currently fighting in the Ukrainian Army and told me all this. He was drafted in 2010, discharged in 2011, then mobilized again in 2015 on the very day his son was Baptized... now I can only pray for him to survive. 🇵🇹💪🇺🇦 🙁
Deaths heads are commonly used by military units world wide. Even the Rio de Janeiro state police use the deaths head in their official Crest/logo to this day. Also the SS was never an organisation of the German Government, it always remained part of the NSDAP organisation.
It's a common symbol used by many nations for a variety of military units. The German use probably started with the Black Brunswick units of the Napoleonic Era. The 'Punisher' skull from comic books has been used by US Special Forces. Various skull symbols are currently being used by both Ukrainian Nationalist Battalions and also the Russian Wagner PMC military units.
Hussar Regiments in Europe frequently had skulls in their insignia. The skull has only been a sinister symbol device fairly recently. In the 19th C it was a symbol for life and was usually associated with doctors and surgeons.
Anyone advertising, glamorizing, glorifying a symbol of death ☠ 👹💀is evil minded people who look for bloodshed. Mutilaters of the flesh is associated with death.
The Portuguese Military Police the old guard of the Queen Lanceers they use similar insignia with skull and bones to represent the death as path for glory. "Glória ou Morte"
Yes I know. I used them as stock footage because that portion of video was free. SS parades are usually copyrighted, and their licenses are very expensive.
When the British nuclear submarine returned to a Port in Scotland after the Falklands war sinking the neutral Argentine ship the Belgrano, it flew the black flag of skull and bones called the Jolly Roger.
The Belgrano was sunk long after Argentina's initial attack and invasion of the Falkland Islands and the British garrison there on April 2. It wasn't sunk until the 2nd of May long after hostilities had commenced in serious. South Georgia had been retaken by force, an Argentinian submarine put out of commission and several air attacks had occurred by both British and Argentinian forces. On top of that the Captain of the Belgrano admitted in 2003 that he was NOT trying to steam out of the "exclusion zone" but was instead, maneuvering to find British ships to sink, AS ORDERED. Your description of the Belgrano as a "neutral" ship is utter and dishonest propaganda bullshit!
My ancestor was a Swedish Grenadier who fought the Russians in 1741 - 1743, then the Prussians "The Pommerska War 1757 - 1762. It was during this war he encountered the Prussian Hussars bareing the Totenkauf Badge. It was said they the Totenkauf Regaments were fierce fighters. From what I understand the SS Totenkauf were not Front LIne Troops, but mainly served behind the lines. Being Paramilitary they dealt with civil matters in the worst way.
That symbol reminds me of the old pirate flag the "skull and crossbones", given the moniker the "Jolly Roger". Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
The SS uniform was based on that of the elite corps of the old German Imperial Army, the Uhlans, or Prussian Lancers. Lancers in several European countries wear black uniforms and skull-and-crossbones badges, fir example the British 17th Lancers😊, part of the famous Light Brigade.
The Skull and X Bones is the Symbol ''To the Death we Fight'' and they did. Not many armies have ever matched the SS in raw stamina and courage. They were all chosen for their elite stamina. Their route marches are the stuff of Legends
That's largely because they were hopped up to the gills on crystal meth at the time. Hitler, Goering and many of the senior Nazis were also addicts of methamphetamine or heroin. They even invented dolophine which they bequeathed to us as methadone
@@carolramsey6287 flick me the links to this stuff cheers I've got all their gay stuff sorted and the cellers they used to swim in full of prime kosher blood. Did you know Hitler actually had fresh boys sent to his Office every day right up to the day he topped out.
The skull and crossbones were just symbols of intimidation, not "hate." That symbol, along with the swastika, goes back to the centuries Before Christ when the German tribes invaded India and brought Hinduism with them. Those symbols are still found all over India as well as in archeological sites of the ancient Greek civilization. Theologically, the skull and crossbones and the swastika are considered paganistic symbols. Nazism was a resurrection of paganism in Germany which was intended to supplant Christianity in the lives of the people. Nazism, like marxism, is totally anti-Christian.
The Totenkopf like the Maltese cross was not unique to the German army. These symbols are used by armies even today. I can give two examples offhand. The British army uses the death's head, and the US Marine Corps uses the Maltese cross. As I said, that's just two quick examples I happen to know of. This is common military symbolism.
The Brunswick Black Hussars were twinned with the British 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own). That's why the 17th has a skull and crossbones badge. Their motto was "Death or Glory". Up until WW1 they had strong links and friendship between them dating back to the Napoleonic Wars. The two nations had a shared hatred of France before Kaiser Wilhelm's ham handed saber rattling drove them apart.
I wouldn't exactly call it a symbol of Terror. look at the British who 17th and 21st Lancers he was a skull and crossbone badge in honour of General Wolfe
Basically it is used in many places, it is a symbol that is used for kind intimidation in a war situation, it is something similar to the word police nowadays, but in 1930 the word police would not have as much value because their way of working was very ineffective and this also indicated they were on duty.
The skull used on SS uniforms was meant to iconify their, 'Loyalty Unto Death' ethos. The one used by the panzer troops was of a different design and was adopted from the black hussars of pre imperial times to give a sense of antecedence to what was then a very new arm of the German military. The skull and crossbones is still used today by some military units such as the British 17/21 Lancers with their motto, 'Death or Glory' underneath.
The British army regiment the Queens Royal Lancers also have this emblem on their cap badge ( I think it was not unknown to certain friends of Captain Pugwash as well).
When one looks at pictures of the German Freikorps and their battle tanks from 1918-1920, they had the skull and bones symbols prominently displayed on their tanks, very large on some, and this was before the Nazi party even existed. As many others have pointed out here, many other nations, kingdoms, and armies used the skull and bones logos for hundreds of years.

A pointer to another programme...the reason for swastika devices appearing on Finlands military vehicles including planes and how very far East tribes of indigenous peoples were lured to the German side purely by the use of the swastika symbol. Did both the Ku Klux Klan and native Amercan nations use the salute of the outstretched arm? There is extant a large copy of Mein Kampf produced in Braille and perhaps a good discussion of the Hitler Youth Banne B and G which deployed German blind and deaf young people along with another provocative anomaly that the leader of the BDM was both an unrepentant Nazi who survived the war and a lesbian. Certain high ranking officers in the SS were gay.

Anyone notice the steel helmets worn by the Freikorps men with rounded peak? I'm sure they're not being worn backwards.
"Hans... Are we the baddies ?"
When one looks at pictures of the German Freikorps and their battle tanks from 1918-1920, they had the skull and bones symbols prominently displayed on their tanks, very large on some, and this was before the Nazi party even existed. As many others have pointed out here, many other nations, kingdoms, and armies used the skull and bones logos for hundreds of years.
Why
Why not?
So cool

Sehr geehrte und gut.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way............
Shhhta!
Who gave birth to God? Where did he come from?

He is the eternal spirit, HL
No beginning, no end
Time, as we know it, is a created element cast between eternity past and eternity future so it is difficult for us to consider anything other than time
But time will be more at the end of the millennial reign of Christ (approximately 3040 AD, earth time)
If you get a chance, read through the gospel of John in the New Testament
This will give an overview of God s strange design, that is to say the Creator joining with mankind via the spirit, taking mankind as his counterpart known as the mystical bride of Christ
And finally (if HL is not too wearied) from Zechariah in the Old Testament:
"The heavens were made for the earth
Earth was made for man
Man was made with a spirit
The spirit was made for God"
This is the meaning of life

But time will be no more
Typo from prior post correction
"he gave his only begotten Son" - and who did God give his son to? To himself. Why? Because God had a weird blood sacrifice fetish?
A pointer to another programme...the reason for swastika devices appearing on Finlands military vehicles including planes and how very far East tribes of indigenous peoples were lured to the German side purely by the use of the swastika symbol. Did both the Ku Klux Klan and native Amercan nations use the salute of the outstretched arm? There is extant a large copy of Mein Kampf produced in Braille and perhaps a good discussion of the Hitler Youth Banne B and G which deployed German blind and deaf young people along with another provocative anomaly that the leader of the BDM was both an unrepentant Nazi who survived the war and a lesbian. Certain high ranking officers in the SS were gay.
Tankers also wore the skull and bones.
