THE TERRIBLE EXECUTION OF VERA SALVEQUART A REVENSBRUCK CONCENTRATION CAMP NEAR FURSTENBERGFOR WAR CRIMINAL

  

Vera Salvequart - war criminal.


Ravensbrück concentration camp near Furstenberg in Germany was the only major Nazi concentration camp for wlling base for female SS supervisors. 


Some 3,500 women underwent training there. They then worked in Ravensbrück or were sent to other camps. The camp was established in 1938 and liberated on April 30th, 1945 by the Russian Army. 


28 year old Vera Salvequart had not been an SS guard, but rather a prisoner herself in Ravensbrück. She was born on the 26th of November 1919 in Wonotsch in Czechoslovakia and had trained as a nurse. 


She had also served several periods in prison for having Jewish boyfriends. She claimed to have stolen plans for the V2 rocket and passed these to Britain. 

 She was sent to KZ Ravensbrück in December 1944 as a Kapo and worked as a nurse in the camp's hospital wing. Here, in February 1945, she was said to have administered poison in the form of a sleeping powder to some 50 of the patients, of whom 12 died. 


Sixteen members of the staff of were arrested and were tried between December 5th 1946 and February 3rd 1947 by a British military court at Hamburg on war crime charges. 


All were found guilty on Monday, the 3rd of February 1947, except one, who died during the trial. Eleven were sentenced to hang, including five women, head nurse Elisabeth Marschall, Aufseherin Greta Bösel, Oberaufseherin Dorothea Binz and Kapos Carmen Mory and Vera Salvequart.  


Their sentencing can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyFKWJlG7mU  Vera Salvequart is wearing the No. 10.


Marschall, Bösel and Binz were hanged at Hameln by Albert Pierrepoint on the 2nd of May 1947.  Carmen Mory committed suicide by cutting her wrists on the 9th of April.


Vera Salvequart petitioned the King for a reprieve in view of her passing secrets to the British. She was granted a stay while this was considered but the Royal prerogative of mercy was withheld and on Thursday the 26th of June 1947 she followed the other three women to the gallows. 


 She was the first of thirteen prisoners to be hanged that day by Albert Pierrepoint, assisted by Regimental Sergeant Major Richard Anthony O'Neill, the execution being carried out at 9.03 am.  Her body was later buried in the Wehl cemetery in Hameln.

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group i

  Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified. In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code. A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks.    Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation. Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics. In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned to death by 50 men in a stadium with 1000 spectators. After his death it was revealed he saw a girl that has been raped by three men an...

The Worst And Brutal Story of the Bisbee Massacre Which Took Place on Main Street At The Castaneda And Goldwater Mercantile

Image
  The Bisbee Massacre:  Part Three The event forever known as the Bisbee Massacre took place on Main Street at the Castaneda and Goldwater Mercantile Emporium on December 8, 1883. What started as a robbery to grab the monthly payroll of the Copper Queen Mine escalated to murder leaving five people dead including Annie Roberts’s unborn child.  The bandits escaped and in an extraordinary and effective effort by County Sheriff Jerome Ward and his deputies all were captured and jailed in Tombstone in just 45 days. The five gang members who committed the robbery and murders—Red Sample, Tex Howard, Mick Kelly, Big Dan Dowd and Billy Delaney—went to trial on February 9.  Judge David H. Pinney presided.  The evidence against the defendants was strong and the prosecutor’s case well-prepared.  All five were found guilt on February 11 and sentenced to die on the gallows.   Their ringleader, Bisbee dance hall owner John Heith, was tried separately but concurr...

One of the men is identified as Felix Gamez Garcia, who admits to trafficking drugs to the United States and the other man is identified as Barnabas Gamez Castro, who is the uncle of the first man.  Despite their bad decision to become halcones and collaborate with one of the most powerful drug cartel in Mexico, the Sinaloa Cartel or CDS, they are foremost human beings and no human being deserves to die in this manner. Both men are sitting against an adobe wall, they have no shirt on, and seem renounced to their fate.  They answer the questions posed to them by sicarios dressed in military uniforms, and they talk, but deep inside, they must know that no matter what they say, they will not make it out al...

I HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING MORE HORRIFIC THAN THIS

Image
    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, WATCH:  MAKE MONEY FROM CRYPTO 2024 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 chi...

THE HORRIBLE ENTERTAINMENT OF THE NAZIS IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS

Image
 The HORRIFIC entertainment of the Nazis in the concentration camps Perhaps the most disconcerting kind of performing arts to emerge from Nazi concentration camps was the concept of ‘human vivisection,’  or the exhibition of prisoners as mere spectacles of entertainment for SS guards and men. Prisoners could be compelled to entertain in absurd and highly obscene spectacles, often exhibiting their near-starving bodies.  It is often asked why Jews did not make greater attempts at resistance. Principally, they had no access to arms and were surrounded by native anti-Semitic populations who might collaborate with the Nazis or,  even if they were opposed to German occupation, may have been willing to condone the elimination of the Jews and were reticent to put their own lives as risk.  In essence, the Jews stood alone against a German war machine zealously determined to carry out the “final solution.” Moreover, the Nazis went to great lengths to disguise their ultima...

MAN K!DN*P G!RL R*P£ HER UNT!L PR!V*TE P*RT. D£STR0Y£D

Image
  Donald Smith k!dnapped, r*ped, and mvrdered 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle. He lvred the girl’s family to Walmart and then left with just her. The medical examiner’s report was so graphic that it’s hard to read, let alone hear, and it’s clear this man is absolutely disgusting. But, if you can believe it, it gets worse, leaving one simple question: Does Donald Smith deserve the death penalty for raping and murdering Cherish? Cherish Perrywinkle of Jacksonville, Florida, went missing from a local Walmart in June 2013, and her case quickly made national headlines. According to Rayne Perrywinkle, the child’s mother, she and her three daughters, including 8-year-old Cherish, were shopping when a stranger changed their lives forever. Struggling financially, the mother said she thought that Donald Smith, then 56, was the blessing she needed when he approached her and offered to help her out. Little did she know, his “kind” gesture was all a front to get what he really wanted, and it wou...

The Story Of The Judas Cradle, Perhaps The Most Agonizing Torture Device In History

Image
   While it may not look like much, the Judas cradle is believed to have spelled a sickening end for the heretics who ended up on the wrong side of its razor-sharp tip during the Spanish Inquisition. If there’s one thing that we can expect from the Spanish Inquisition, it’s unique and brutal methods of torture. In fact, some of history’s most infamous torture methods were implemented by the inquisitors to punish those believed to have sinned, including the rack, the wheel, and water torture. One lesser known torture method favored by the Spanish, though, was the Judas Cradle — and oddly, they considered it to be one of the most humane. There’s not much to the device itself. It’s a carved wooden pyramid at the top of three wooden legs, sort of like a stool though admittedly not one you’d want to sit on. It was placed in the corner of a torture chamber, and above it a person would be suspended, nude, with their hands and feet bound by ropes attached to gears. They would then be ...

1944: THE WOLA MASSACRE BEGIN'S DURING THW WARSAW UPRISING

Image
  Posted on 5 August, 2017 by Headsman On this date in 1944, a weeklong German slaughter of Polish civilians and resistance fighters began in the Wola district of the capital city Warsaw. The Wola Massacre marked the start of the Reich’s counterattack against the Warsaw Uprising, the heroic and suicidal rising mounted by the Polish Home Army as the Red Army’s summer offensive brought it to the banks of the Vistula. Aiming to claim some foothold upon which to influence events in the soon-to-be Soviet-occupied Poland, the Home Army enjoyed initial success in the first days of August. But German reserves from the Replacement Army — the vehicle by which the Valkyrie plotters had attempted their coup against Hitler just days before, and now as a consequence answering directly to Heinrich Himmler — were quick to the scene and would turn back the rising in weeks of bloody urban warfare. Himmler’s authority in crushing the Warsaw Uprising would also allow him to give rein to his SS for a c...
