THE GATHERING OF EVIDENCE

Image
THE CAMP AS EVIDENCE THE GATHERING OF EVIDENCE The first U.S. Army photographers reached the camp three days after the liberation of Buchenwald on 11 April 1945. The pictures they took were published all over the world and have continued to shape the public’s image of the concentration and extermination camps to this day. They also came to serve as evidence of the National Socialist crimes. The war correspondents were as shocked as the American soldiers by the conditions they discovered in Buchenwald. Margaret Bourke-White, who worked for Life Magazine, later recalled: “I kept telling myself that I would believe the indescribably horrible sight in the courtyard before me only when I had a chance to look at my own photographs. Using the camera was almost a relief; it interposed a slight barrier between myself and the white horror in front of me.” In addition to press photographers, army photographers from the 166th Signal Photo Company were at work in Buchenwald. The pictures take

What a reality!!! The Retired MD of a bank

Image
What a reality!!! Retired MD of a bank after 5 years of retirement came to a branch in his city to collect money.  All those working in the bank are new. He introduces himself as the former MD of that bank. On being introduced, an officer offers him tea and curiously asks, "How is your day going after the opportunity?" The former MD said, “The first 2/1 year felt very bad. It was hard to adjust to the new situation.  Now I understand, after the game of claim is over, the king and the soldier are put in the same box. Position, post, title, honor-showkat are all temporary. People's love is permanent, which has to be achieved by good behavior.  Time explains the account of whose life! We want to understand this truth while we have time, don't we? #Copied

July 7-8, 1950 - Chonan, South Korea

Image
July 7-8, 1950 - Chonan, South Korea  Desperately trying to slow down the North Korean Army onslaught as it continued to move deep into South Korea, the understength, poorly equipped 34th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division - about 2 000 men - was sent to intercept a 12,000 man enemy division, supported by T-34 tanks, at Chonan. The 34th, at the cost of about 300 casualties (including over 100 killed and 80 captured), managed to delay the NorKs for about a day and a half.  The Regiment's 3rd Battalion was rendered all but ineffective in the struggle. During the action near Chonan, Korea, the 3rd Battalion, had been surrounded by superior enemy forces which then launched a tank and infantry attack.  1LT James C. Little voluntarily took command of a 2.36 inch rocket launching team and a rifle grenade launcher. With these inadequate weapons, he destroyed two of the enemy tanks.  Noticing that a platoon, which was operating without an officer, was preparing to prematurely withdra

TEN THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE KOREAN WAR.

Image
TEN THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE KOREAN WAR. 1.  Soviet Leader Stalin green-lighted the North Korean invasion partly because an American sergeant who worked in the US Embassy became a spy for the Soviets.  He revealed that the US was withdrawing from South Korea to Japan.  Stalin assumed the US would not fight for South Korea. 2.  The Bodo League Massacre -  before the war, South Korean dictator Syngman Rhee had rounded up hundreds of thousands of suspected communists and political opponents and put them in re-education camps.  This was called the Bodo League.  A few days into the war, Rhee ordered the extermination of many of these people.  The mass executions were done without trial and many innocent civilians were killed.  The estimates range from 60,000 to 100,000.  They were buried in mass grave.  The deaths were blamed on the communists and the South Korean government covered up the crime for four decades.  Some American officers witnessed the executions.  When the crimes

U.S. Army Private First Class Kaoru Moto of Hawaii was posthumously awarded the  Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on July 7, 1944, near Castellina, Italy. Moto was born to Japanese immigrant parents and was a Nisei, which means he was a second-generation Japanese-American.  He joined the Army in March 1941, ten months before the attack on Pearl Harbor. He volunteered to be a part of the all-Nisei 100th Infantry Battalion, mostly made up of Japanese-Americans from Hawaii and the mainland. On July 7, 1944,  near Castellina Marittima, Italy, Moto single-handedly silenced two enemy machine gun positions while acting as a scout and then destroyed a third despite being severely wounded. For his actions on this day, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, which was posthumously upgraded to a Medal of Honor in 2000. Moto left the Army while still a private first class. He died at age 75 and was buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The torture! In the book Vigiar e Punir Michel Foucault begins his narrative citing the forms of SUPLICATION.

The torture! In the book Vigiar e Punir Michel Foucault begins his narrative citing the forms of SUPLICATION. The torture for those who are unaware of this practice is a form of torture, which aims to make the condemned confess his crime, his sin and repent of them. During the Middle Ages this method consisted of making the "criminal" suffer so that his sins could be purged. Among the most common methods was the wheel - the condemned had his feet on the ground and hands in the middle of a large wheel, in this way the wheel was turned in order to stretch the whole body, not satisfied in some cases the bones of the legs and fathoms were breaks. According to Lyn Hunt's story in her book "The Birth of Human Rights", this was the last type of torture used by justice. At least officially. Foucault comments that throughout the Middle Ages justice itself realized that such measures were as cruel as the crimes committed by the condemned. That's why the meth

Masha Bruskina.

Masha Bruskina. Masha Bruskina was a Russian teenage female partisan. She was a 17 year old Jewish high school graduate and was the first teenage girl to be publicly hanged by the Nazis in Belorussia (Belarus), since the German invasion of Soviet Union on the 22nd of June 1941.  Her execution and that of the two men hanged with her took place on the 26th of October 1941 in the city of Minsk. In the photos of her, you will see that she has blond hair, but her natural colour was dark. She dyed her hair when she started to work for the underground. Witnesses to her hanging, testified that Masha struggled hard and lost control of her bladder and bowels.  After hanging for three days, she and the men were taken down and only when her body was traditionally washed before her burial by local people and members of her family, did her dark hair show up. She worked as a nurse in a military hospital and was a member of an underground cell which aided Soviet officers hospitalised there to escape a

British Captain pilot Albert Ball posing for a photograph with a German propeller following his 43rd aerial victory, ca. May 5, 1917. Colourised by 'Photos Redux' on Facebook. On May 7, 1917, the British flying ace Captain Albert Ball VC was killed in action near Douai on the Western Front - Britain's 4th deadliest pilot of the First World War. In August 1914, Albert Ball enlisted in the British Army at the age of 18. Ball already had military experience, having served in the Officers' Training Corps, and was therefore appointed to train new recruits instead of serving in France. He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant by October 29, 1914. Ball was  not content with his role on the home front. Seeking more action, he eventually took up private flying lessons in June 1915. Although his flying instructors deemed him an average pilot, Ball found flying thrilling and requested a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps.  His request was granted, and by February 18, 1916 he was in Franc
