Sleeping With the Enemy: Pictures of Collaborator Girls in World War II, Some Are Shocking Ones!

There are thousands joyful pictures of the liberation of France in 1944. But among the cheering images there are also shocking ones. 

These show the fate of women accused of “collaboration horizontale”. 

It is impossible to forget Robert Capa’s fallen-Madonna image of a shaven-headed young woman, cradling her baby, implicitly the result of a relationship with a German soldier.

In 1942, Germany dominated most of Europe. Greater Germany had been enlarged at the expense of its neighbors.

 They were there, and, like soldiers of every army of every period of history, as soon as they got comfortable they started scouting around for women.

 And, as always in times of military occupation, there were women to be found.

The punishment of shaving a woman’s head had biblical origins. In Europe, the practice dated back to the dark ages, with the Visigoths. 

During the middle ages, this mark of shame, denuding a woman of what was supposed to be her most seductive feature, was commonly a punishment for adultery. 

Shaving women’s heads as a mark of retribution and humiliation was reintroduced in the 20th century. 

After French troops occupied the Rhineland in 1923, German women who had relations with them later suffered the same fate. 

And during the Second World War, the Nazi state issued orders that German women accused of sleeping with non-Aryans or foreign prisoners employed on farms should also be publicly punished in this way.

Today 105 years ago, on September 15, 1918, the Allies launched the Vardar Offensive on the Macedonian Front, leading to Bulgarian surrender and the liberation of Serbia. By September 1918, the Germans had withdrawn their forces from the Macedonian Front, leaving Bulgaria isolated against the combined forces of Serbia, France, Britain and Greece. The Allies planned for a final offensive to knock Bulgaria out of the war, or at least force them to new defensive lines. On the left flank, the French, Serbs and Greeks would attack the fortified Dobro Pole mountain, while on the right flank, British and Greek forces would attack at the Lake Doiran, and on their left the French would attack by the Vardar river. On September 15, 1918, following an artillery bombardment of 566 guns, Serbian, French and Greek forces launched the Vardar Offensive against the Bulgarian 1st Army in ...

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF THE WOMEN HANGED FOR 21.48G HEROINE " MALAYSIAN ROSHAMIMA ROSLAN

 Malaysian woman to hang for 21.48g heroin Malaysian Roshamima Roslan A Malaysian couple who were due to get married drove into Singapore two years ago with 21.48g of heroin bundles in their car. The pair were caught, charged and put on trial. On Friday, the High Court acquitted Mas Swan Adnan, 27, but sent his fiancee Roshamima Roslan, 24, to the gallows for trafficking in 15g or more of the drug. In his judgment yesterday, Justice Steven Chong said the prosecution had to prove that the two of them knew exactly what sort of drugs they were bringing into Singapore. Justice Chong said the evidence showed, however, that Mas Swan believed his girlfriend when she told him that the bundles contained Ecstasy pills. Roshamima's claim was not believable, the judge said, adding that the prosecution proved that she knew that illicit drugs were hidden in their car when they entered Singapore. When Roshamima was put on the stand, she failed to give testimony that she believed the bundles to co...
