JUNE 1940 HITLER'S NEXT BIG MISTAKE Just before the surrender of France in June 1940


JUNE 1940 HITLER'S NEXT BIG MISTAKE
Just before the surrender of France in June 1940, General Guderian, commander of Second Panzer Army, had suggested to Hitler that he could quickly move his Panzers down through France and Spain to capture Gibraltar and cross into North Africa.

 Hitler’s Chief of Staff, General Alfred Jodl suggested a similar plan as being a better strategic use of resources than the half-cocked Operation Sealion.
Hitler was also being urged to take Gibraltar by Admiral Raeder, and at this point Hitler seriously considered the idea.

 He had his head of the Abwehr, Admiral Canaris, carry out intelligence work in Spain and by November a plan had been acknowledged, but not quite agreed upon, by Hitler.

General von Reichenau had been put in charge of the plan, known as Operation Felix and a large force of artillery and dive bombers were put on alert for the occupation first of Portugal.

Time passed, due mainly to Hitler’s usual dithering and persistent interference in the minutiae of planning. Instead of ordering those who knew best to get on with the plan, he could not resist being the ‘great commander’ – an epithet only he and a few of his lackeys genuinely believed...[PIC.

1852, a dark portrait now reveals a heart-breaking history

1852, a dark portrait now reveals a heart-breaking history ....  A few years ago I was asked to restore, and colourise this portrait by someone who had a very nice, but dark, and gloomy print of it.  They had no idea who she was, but they'd fallen in love with this fragile, and very naturally beautiful young woman who lived over 170 years ago. Recently a friend in the U.S. had stumbled on the image with the family history behind it, and to be honest I was a little saddened to learn of her fate ... "When Anna Sullivan Waters was born in 1833, her father, Thomas, was 35, and her mother, Ruth, was 31. She married Zachariah John Waters on June 7, 1851, in Centerville, Tennessee.  They had one surviving child during their marriage a son William M Cornelius "Neal" Waters. She died as a young mother in 1853 in Centerville, Tennessee, at the age of 20. She is buried with her two new born daughters they all died due to delivery complications that occurred during the birth of ...

U.S. Army Hangman John C. Woods Intentionally Botched Nazi Executions To Ensure Their Agonizing Deaths. The  Nuremberg executions  took place on 16 October 1946, shortly after the conclusion of the Nuremberg trials. Ten prominent members of the political and military leadership of Nazi Germany were executed by hanging: Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Alfred Rosenberg, Fritz Sauckel, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and Julius Streicher.  Hermann Göring was also scheduled to be hanged on that day, but committed suicide using a potassium cyanide capsule the night before.  Martin Bormann was also sentenced to death  in absentia ; at the time his whereabouts were unknown, but it is now thought that he committed suicide or was killed by Soviet troops while attempting to escape Berlin on 2 May 1945. The sentences...

Freedomite

Image
Freedomite The  Freedomite  movement consists of a split-off of the Doukhobors, a community of Spiritual Christians began a mass migration from Russia to Canada in 1898. The Freedomite movement first appeared in 1902 in Saskatchewan, and later in the Kootenay and Boundary Districts of British Columbia. Freedomites began to divide from Doukhobors in 1902 in Saskatchewan, Canada, self-named as "God's people" and  Svobodniki  (Russian: "sovereign people"). The faction, later called "Freedomites", opposed land ownership, public schools, using work animals, etc. and are mainly known for protesting nude. By 1920 the common English term for them became  Sons of Freedom . Of about 20,000 active Doukhobors in Canada today, ancestors of about 2,500 were Freedomites, and many descendants have joined the USCC Community Doukhobors. Doctrine Freedomite meetings were similar to other spiritual Christian folk-Protestants fr...

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he quot...

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women. Women in concentration camps were subjected to brutal treatment and often faced more severe conditions than their male counterparts. The conditions in the camps were inhumane, and women were often subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. Women were treated differently in concentration camps than men. They were often separated from their families, forced to perform hard labor, and subjected to sexual abuse. Women who were pregnant were also subjected to harsh conditions and medical experimentation. Many women were killed, either as part of the genocide or because they were deemed too weak to continue working. One of the most notorious concentration camps where women were held was Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, women were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experimentation. Many were killed in gas chambers or through other forms of execution. The camp was designed ...

Directly from ancient Rome, Carvilio's ring: The excruciating pain of a Roman mother for the death of her son.

Image
Directly from ancient Rome, Carvilio's ring: The excruciating pain of a Roman mother for the death of her son. In 2000, during the removal of a high voltage pylon in a private property near Grottaferrata (a suburb of Rome) archaeologists found two sarcophagi, which contained the remains of the noble Aebutia Quarta and her son Carvilio Gemello, who lived in the first century after Christ. Carvilio died prematurely at the age of about eighteen, in mysterious circumstances (perhaps from poisoning). After losing the only male child, the roman noblewoman built a wonderful sarcophagus, with accurate finishing and refined inscriptions for his son.  Due to the floral ornaments placed at the entrance and inside, the archeological site today is known as the "Hypogeum of the garlands". When Ebuzia died (probably at the age of 40 or 50), she was buried in the same place of her son Carvilio. The two nobles were embalmed (probably because they were followers of the cult of Isis, which ...

War crime hangings at Landsberg in May 1946. With special thanks to Traugott Vitz for his help with this article. Over two days at the end of May 1946, 28 German war criminals were hanged at Landsberg am Lech prison in Germany (US War Criminals Prison No. 1). The Dachau concentration camp was liberated by two divisions of the U.S. Seventh Army on the 29th of April, 1945.  40 members of it staff were tried at the camp by a US General Military Court, presided over by Brigadier General John Lenz. The trials lasted from the 15th of November to the 13th of December 1945.  36 defendants received the death sentence.  Eight of these sentences were reduced to terms of imprisonment by the Reviewing Authority, the remaining 28 death sentences being confirmed. The trial went under the designation “USA against Martin Gerhard Weiß (Weiss) et al.”, Case No. 000-50-2. Martin Gerhard Weiss was the camp commandant at Dachau.  This trial became the “Parent Case” for 488 other trials (a...

THE RED ROOMS OF THE DEEP WEB

Image
THE RED ROOMS OF THE DEEP WEB This topic seems so simple that it is almost obvious, but you will find that it is far from so. Many of us, even just out of curiosity, have tried to inform us on the internet if there really is a deep web and to what extent sites go down illegally. The Red Room would be "the apotheosis of illegality", where through a live streaming viewers can decide the fate of a victim, even going as far as his death. But do such sites really exist or are they an urban legend? I will try to get there by steps. The term "Red Room" derives from the Japanese metropolitan legend "Red Room Curse", which in turn refers to a horror animation created in Adobe Flash of 2000 in Japan. So if we really want to be picky, we will never find a site called "Red Room" on the deep web (unless the authors are very, very stupid). Until a few years ago the red rooms were considered a hoax invented by some perverted individual and with a bad morality, ...
