Major Crimes and True Crime

How the female Nazi soldiers get executed British hangmen meticulously weighed female Nazi guards to ensure a swift, calculated death. In Poland, executioners just stood the women on cargo trucks and drove forward. While the Third Reich strictly barred women from combat roles in the Wehrmacht, thousands volunteered or were conscripted into the SS-Gefolge (SS retinue) as Aufseherinnen , or female camp guards. When Allied forces liberated the concentration camps in 1945, they captured these women alongside their male counterparts and put them on trial for war crimes. Those sentenced to death faced execution methods that varied sharply depending on which Allied power held jurisdiction. In the British occupation zone, military tribunals like the Belsen Trial resulted in death sentences for several high-profile female guards. Among the most notorious was Elisabeth Volkenrath, the head wardress of Bergen-Belsen. Captured by the British in April 1945, she was held in a makeshift prisoner-of-w...

“The Bitch of Buchenwald”: The Story Of Ilse Koch, One Of The Holocaust’s Biggest Monsters Ilse Koch may not be as famous as the Holocaust's ringleaders, but she was every bit as evil. Ilse Koch, the "Bitch of Buchenwald," was accused of selecting tattooed prisoners to be murdered so their skin could be turned into lampshades, book covers, and gloves. She stole from inmates, whipped prisoners for looking at her, and became one of the most feared Nazi concentration camp guards. Ilse Koch was born in Dresden in 1906 and joined the Nazi Party in the early 1930s. After marrying Karl Otto Koch, commandant of the Buchenwald concentration camp, she quickly gained notoriety for her cruelty. Survivors of the camp recalled that she always seemed particularly excited about sending children to the gas chamber. Witnesses also claimed that Koch chose prisoners with unique tattoos to be killed, their skin preserved and fashioned into household items — including lampshades, bookcovers, a...

Reasons why a person executed by electric chair does not feel pain The process of electrocution is pretty straight  forward. You will be strapped into a hard backed wooden chair by leather belts at your wrists, ankles, forearms, chest and waist. Electrodes will be attached to the crown of your head and one or both of your calves. The electrodes will be faced with sponges soaked in a saturated brine to conduct the electricity into your body and reduce burning. On command from the warden, the power supply will be activated, delivering a fatal electric shock through your body at the electrodes. Most electric chairs deliver somewhere in the area of 5–13 amps of alternating current at between 1,700–2,500 volts. Multiple shocks are applied prior to checking for signs of life. The process is often more of an art than a science; executioners developed their own particular techniques through a process of trial and error. If done properly the sheer force of the electricity should depolarize ...

In 1941, after the German invasion and at the age of 18, Zoya volunteered to join a group of partisans carrying out sabotage missions.

A Russian collaborator denounced her (his reward was a bottle of vodka) and she was captured. Subjected to all kinds of torture and humiliation to get her to inform on her comrades, Zoya said nothing.

On July 25, 1941, German soldiers of the 19th Corps of the army shot 16 local Serbs in Smederevska Palanka, Serbia. The story of German corporal Josef Schulz spread all over the world. According to the story, when his superiors ordered him to fire on the prisoners, he placed his rifle on the ground and walked away. When his comrades opened fire, he stepped out from among the trees and was immediately shot by his own men. For decades, people believed this story. A monument was even erected for Schulz and the local victims. Historians also identified a photo taken by a German war correspondent as showing the German corporal standing outside the line of soldiers moments before he was shot. But German Army records state that Josef Schulz was killed in action against Serbian partisans on July 19, 1941, before the massacre took place. A later forensic examination of the famous photograph also found that the soldier in the photo was actually someone else who had walked away from his comrades ...

More than 800,000 female soldiers were deployed by the Soviet armed forces on the Eastern Front in World War II. The German soldiers fighting against them were shocked and full of hatred towards the women who were waging war. The Nazi war ideology expected women to be in the home, not on the battlefield. Soviet female soldiers were even the subject of German soldiers’ pejorative slang term for female soldiers armed with guns: Flintenweiber. As opposed to male prisoners of war, female soldiers lost all of their rights as prisoners very quickly. Many female soldiers were shot, even hanged, by their German prisoners of war. Others were sent to concentration camps, such as Ravensbrück. In August 1942, near Stalingrad, the German 16th Panzer Division received heavy fire from an anti-aircraft gun position. After a long and bloody battle the position was finally destroyed by German tanks. When the German soldiers finally reached the position of destruction they found a group of young Soviet w...
