A magnificent Soviet soldier, dressed in skirts on the battlefield, died after being captured and subjected to humiliation A magnificent Soviet soldier, dressed in skirts on the battlefield, died after being captured and subjected to humiliation In the early days of World War II, Germany's policy towards the Soviet Union was to attack the Soviet Union at a distance, and because the Soviet authorities believed that due to the strength of the Soviet armament, Germany would never take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union did not actively help other countries resist German aggression. The actual result was that the German Lightning Forces quickly moved into the Soviet Union. Of course, the old men were caught off guard, and the battle was retreating steadily, and the army suffered heavy casualties. The most indispensable thing for a fighting nation is people who can fight. When a man is dead, a woman c...

Soviet female POW in German captivity, 1941. German soldiers were ordered to execute female servicemen on the spot Soviet female POW in German captivity, 1941. German soldiers were ordered to execute female servicemen on the spot. Often before doing so, these unfortunate women faced all sorts of humiliations and abuse from their captors The Germans had very sexist views on society and viewed the practice of having women serving in the military and participating in combat as barbaric. Orders were passed by German generals where they told their men to execute female soldiers on the spot. Add to this the fact that Germans viewed Slavic people as subhumans half of whom needed to be exterminated which doesn't make this order seem unreal. Nazi Germany didn't let women work in essential war industries for the same reason. Instead they imported men from occupied countries (especially slavs) to serve as industrial slaves/serfs. When the Third Reich finally went t...

Haunting photographs that reveal how The most misremembered battle of the World War II. 1943's Battle of Kursk, the decisive face-off between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Helped turn the tide of World War II. The Battle of Kursk, fought in July and August of 1943, was the last German offensive against the Red Army in World War II. In terms of initiative and momentum, it marked the end of the Nazis' advance on the Eastern Front. By some accounts, it was the largest tank battle in history, involving an estimated 7,500 tanks and well over 2 million troops from both sides. At Kursk, Germany’s superior technology and military training were defeated by the Soviets' sheer numbers and industrial capacity. After the battle, the German forces never regained the advantage in the East or made any significant breaks through Soviet lines — the tide had turned. This is the story of the most important World War II battle most people have never heard of. Germany's Pre...

In 1989, Clarence Moses-EL received a 48-year prison sentence based on a woman's dream, where she identified him as the perpetrator who had allegedly raped and beaten her in the dark.  The assault was claimed to have occurred in her apartment after a night of drinking at a party. The severity of the assault left her with fractured facial bones and the loss of vision in one eye. At first, the victim identified three men she had been drinking with as potential assailants, none of whom turned out to be Clarence Moses-EL. However, the police did not investigate any of those men. Instead, a day and a half later, the victim claimed in a dream that a man she knew only as ‘bubbles’ was the one who assaulted her. This man turned out to be Moses-EL.  Moses-EL consistently asserted his innocence. However, he was sentenced to 48 years in prison for the crime he didn’t commit.  Moses-EL, who had always maintained his innocence, raised a claim of ineffective assistance...

Did the Dutch really eat their prime minister? How the Dutch Murdered and Ate their own Prime Minister Why Was The Dutch Prime Minister Johan De Witt Murdered and Eaten? Politics can be cruel sometimes, that’s for sure. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash, for instance, many prime ministers and presidents were quickly removed from power in countries across North America and Europe by electorates furious at what had happened.  Some of these same leaders had only just entered office before the crash and weren’t responsible for the crisis. But they were given their marching orders.  Yet perhaps they should have accounted themselves lucky to be out of a job. In earlier times, people in their position faced far worse consequences when things went awry.  Look at the example of Johan de Witt, the head of the Dutch Republic in the mid-seventeenth century, who, after a series of negative events in the early 1670s, was murdered in The Hague on the 20th of Aug...

In 1979, the reign of Equatorial Guinean dictator Francisco Macias Nguema came to an end after a coup. Nguema, characterized by insanity and a strong addiction to cannabis and hallucinogens, was responsible for the deaths of up to 80,000 people, a third of his country's population. He was executed months later. Due to his dictatorship's severe human rights abuses and economic mismanagement, tens of thousands of people fled the country to avoid persecution. This led to Equatorial Guinea being internationally nicknamed the "Dachau of Africa". His rule also led to significant brain drain as intellectuals and educated classes were particular targets for his persecution. In 1979, he was overthrown in a coup d'état by his nephew Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and was subsequently tried and executed. Nguema’s rule was marked by grotesque, almost absurd government corruption. His government did not even have an accounting system for government funds. This l...
