 Buchenwald concentration camp Buchenwald was a Nazi concentration camp established on Ettersberg [de] hill near Weimar, Germany, in July 1937. It was one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps within Germany's 1937 borders. Many actual or suspected communists were among the first internees. Prisoners came from all over Europe and the Soviet Union—Jews, Poles and other Slavs, the mentally ill and physically disabled, political prisoners, Romani people, Freemasons, and prisoners of war. There were also ordinary criminals and sexual deviants.  All prisoners worked primarily as forced labor in local armaments factories. The insufficient food and poor conditions, as well as deliberate executions, led to 56,545 deaths at Buchenwald of the 280,000 prisoners who passed through the camp and its 139 subcamps. The camp gained notoriety when it was liberated by the United States Army in April 1945; Allied commander Dwight D. Eisenhower visited one of its subcamps. From A...

 During the Dachau liberation reprisals, German SS troops were killed by U.S. soldiers and concentration camp prisoners at the Dachau concentration camp on April 29, 1945, during World War II. It is unclear how many SS guards were killed in the incident, but most estimates place the number killed at around 35–50.  In the days before the camp's liberation, SS guards at the camp had forced 7,000 inmates on a death march that resulted in the death of many from exposure and shooting. When Allied soldiers liberated Dachau, they were variously shocked, horrified, disturbed, and angered at finding the massed corpses of prisoners, and by the combativeness of some of the remaining guards who allegedly fired on them. Sparks account Lt. Col. Sparks, a battalion commander of the 157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division wrote about the incident. Sparks watched as about 50 German prisoners captured by the 157th Infantry Regiment were confined in an area that had been used for storing...

 Frederick Reynolds – for the murder of his mistress. 39 year old bookmaker, Frederick Reynolds was convicted of the murder of 40 year old Mrs. Beatrice Greenberg on Tuesday the 17th of December 1946. Reynolds came to trial at the Old Bayley before Mr. Justice Atkinson on the 7th of February 1947.  Reynolds testified that he had known Beatrice for 13 years and three years later she had become his mistress.   His councel, Mr. Eric Cuddon, asked him if his wife knew about the relationship with Beatrice, to which he replied that she did, as both women had worked together at the same factory in Highbury in 1938.  In court was Beatrice’s husband, Sidney Greenberg, who stood up and shouted “That is a damned lie, Sir.  My wife never worked at Highbury before the War.”  Sidney was told to be quiet and sit down by an usher.   On the evening of 17th of December Reynolds had been drinking heavily and had walked to Beatrice’s flat at 40 Avenell Mansions in Avenell...

 Iwo Jima was finally declared secured on March 26, 1945. When the battle concluded, nearly 7,000 Marines had lost their lives and another 20,000 were wounded.  The strategic importance of the island, and the enduring image of Marines raising the American flag on top of Mount Suribachi, cemented the Battle of Iwo Jima as one of the great victories in the history of the Marine Corps.  The Secretary of the Navy, James V. Forrestal, who watched the flag-raising from the beach, famously remarked “the raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years.” U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant Harry Linn Martin of Bucyrus, Ohio was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on Iwo Jima on March 26, 1945.   A few minutes before dawn on the morning of March 26, the day the Iwo campaign officially closed, the Japanese launched a concentrated attack and penetrated the Marine lines in the area where 1st Lt Martin's platoon was bivo...

 German soldier who hung himself at the end of the war Ray Cunneen’s unit came across this German soldier in the woods. He had evidently hung himself when Germany surrendered, 1945 During the final weeks of Nazi Germany and World War II in Europe, many civilians, government officials, and military personnel throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe committed suicide.  In addition to high-ranking Nazi officials like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, Philipp Bouhler, and Martin Bormann, many others chose suicide rather than accept the defeat of Germany.[1] Motivating factors included fear of reprisals and atrocities by the Allies and especially the Red Army, Nazi propaganda glorifying suicide as preferable to defeat, and despondency after the suicide of Adolf Hitler.  For example, in May 1945, up to 1,000 people killed themselves before and after the entry of the Red Army into the German town of Demmin. In Berlin alone more than 7,000 suicides were report...

 The Horrifying And Lethal Experiments Of Unit 731, The Laboratory Of Death In World War Two, Japan created a top secret project named Unit 731 which sought to learn more about human physiology. Officially called the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army, Unit 731's methods were completely unethical - and that's putting it lightly. Brutal human experimentations were conducted in Unit 731 that resemble things straight out of a horror movie. It shocks the mind to think that these experiments really happened, but indeed they did. Japan committed war crimes throughout WWII that are cruel and horrifying. They used grisly torture methods on countless victims that ranged from bamboo torture to cannibalism. However, the worst methods occurred in Unit 731. Located in Manchuria, most of the test subjects for Unit 731 were Chinese. By the end of the war, as surrender became imminent, the Japanese involved with Unit 731 attempted to destroy all evidence...
