HOW A FIERY BOLSHEVIK BECAME A FANATICAL NAZI

 How a fiery Bolshevik became a fanatical Nazi 


Roland Freisler, the chairman of the People's Court of the Third Reich, was called one of the most bloodthirsty Nazis in Germany. Interestingly, during his youth, he was an ardent Bolshevik and a fighter for the "happiness of the working people". 

Freisler was imbued with communist ideals when he was in a prisoner-of-war camp in Russia. The revolutionary events of 1917 completely fascinated the former soldier of the German army and he joined the Bolshevik Party. 

Returning to his homeland in 1920, Freisler devoted himself to law. He completely changed his political views and, in 1925, joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party of Adolf Hitler. 

In the Third Reich, Roland Freisler was able to reach the heights of power. From 1942 until almost the collapse of the regime, he served as chairman of the People's Trial Chamber, which tried cases of treason, espionage and other political crimes.  

Freisler personally condemned 4,951 people to execution. All his life, he strove to erase his Bolshevik past, exhibiting fanatical loyalty to the Führer. The latter, however, remembered well the early biography of his follower and often half-jokingly called him "our Bolshevik". 

The Nazi executioner certainly awaited the bench of the Nuremberg Tribunal, but, on February 3, 1945, he died during the bombing of Berlin. On his last day of life, he still managed to send four people to their deaths.

THE SURRENDER OF GENERAL TOMOYUKI YAMASHITA aka "Tiger of Malaya".

Image
 Tomoyuki Yamashita, Yamashita Tomoyuki, 8 November 1885 – 23 February 1946; also called Tomobumi Yamashita was a Japanese convicted war criminal and general in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Yamashita led Japanese forces during the invasion of Malaya and Battle of Singapore, his conquest of Malaya and Singapore in 70 days earned him the sobriquet "The Tiger of Malaya" and led to the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill calling the ignominious fall of Singapore to Japan the "worst disaster" and "largest capitulation" in British military history.  Yamashita was assigned to defend the Philippines from the advancing Allies later in the war. Although he was unable to prevent the superior Allied forces from advancing, despite dwindling supplies and Allied guerrilla action, he was able to hold on to part of Luzon until after the formal Surrender of Japan in August 1945. After the war, Yamashita was tried for war crimes committed by troops un

  I have never read anything more horrific than this. 😭 The photo below  shows Italian General Alexandro Luzano standing above a slaughtered Serbian child in front of a school in Prebilovci. The letter he sent to Mussolini after this crime has been preserved in the military archives: "Dear Duce, My boundless devotion to you, I hope, entitles me to deviate in some way from strict military protocol. That is why I hasten to describe to you an event that I personally attended three weeks ago. While visiting the districts of Stolac, Capljina and Ljubinje (between 60 and 130 km north of Dubrovnik) - I learned from our intelligence officers that Pavelic's Ustashas had committed a crime in a village (Prebilovci) the day before, and that when it became known , the surrounding Serbs to be upset again. I miss the words to describe what I found there. In the big school classroom, I found a slaughtered teacher and 120 of her students! No children were older than 12! Crime is an inappropri

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF THE COMFORT WOMEN WHICH CONTAIN BOTH GIRLS FORCED INTO SEXUAL SLAVERY

Image
 Comfort women were women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces in occupied countries and territories before and during World War II. The term "comfort women" is a translation of the Japanese which literally means "comforting, consoling woman". During World War II, Japanese troops forced hundreds of thousands of women from Australia, Burma, China, Netherlands, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and other countries into sexual enslavement for Japanese troops; however, the majority of the women were from Korea.  Many women died or committed suicide due to brutal mistreatment and sustained physical and emotional distress. After the war, Japan's acknowledgment of the comfort women's plight was minimal, lacking a full apology and appropriate restitution, which damaged Japan's reputation in Asia for decades. Only in the 1990s did the Japanese government begin to officially apologize and offer compensation. Estimates vary
