The GIs who raped France: We know about the mass rape of German women by Stalin's soldiers. Now a new book reveals American troops committed thousands of r@pes on French women they were 'liberating' Targets: Some American GIs saw French women as spoils of war according to an explosive new book The handsome American soldier was Elisabeth’s tenth client that evening. Working her trade on the top floor of a dingy apartment block in Paris, she felt that she had seen them all. Grateful: French women are seen waving American flags in Paris in August 1944 following the city's liberation, but the book alleges that thousands of French women were raped by GIs after freeing the city from the Nazis For the past four years, the men had been Germans, and now, since the city had been liberated in August, 1944, they were Americans. It made little difference. Elisabeth held out three fingers of her hand to indicate the price of her body — three hundred francs. ‘Too much,’ said the soldi...

C0p’s incredible explanation for being locked in car with female suspect who wanted s*x A police officer gave a shocking explanation after radioing a fellow cop for help when he locked himself in his patrol car with a female suspect who said she was ‘down to f***’. San Diego cop Anthony Hair claimed that he locked himself in the back of his cruiser by accident with a just-arrested woman. Hair recently resigned, amid an investigation that revealed he was not as innocent as he initially said. The two-year veteran with the force was one of a few cops who arrested two suspects in a car theft on August 15, 2023. Hair was tasked with taking one of the arrestees, an unidentified woman, to the police headquarters Minutes into the ride, the woman began talking to Hair and his body camera recorded the conversation. Are you married?’ asked the woman. Hair replied, ‘Why are you asking that? ‘You’re not too bad. What’s it gonna hurt me if I work the system, you know what I mean?’ the woman said. ‘T...

Inside the ISIS-style Houthi reign of terror with crane hangings, firing squad executions and gun-toting kids LIFE in Yemen is brutal and has become increasingly more so since Hamas launched its murderous rampage through Israel in October. Firing squad executions, hangings by crane and public floggings are now on the rise in the conflict-torn country - and no one, not even civilians, is safe. Muhammad al-Maghrabi reacts as he is prepared to be executed in Sanaa after being convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl A member of the Yemeni security forces executes one of nine men convicted of being involved in the killing of a Houthi leaderCredit: AFP Houthi rebels, who emerged in northern Yemen in the 1990s and have been fighting the government since 2004, took over Yemen's capital Sanaa in 2014 and much of the north by 2016. With access to Yemen's military hardware - including missiles, tanks, and air assets - and the support of Iran, the Houthis have only continue...

The women behind the 'Super Race Children': Nazi nurses who helped scientists in quest to breed elite Aryan race and euthanize the 'undesirables' Like other wartime nurses, those in Nazi Germany selflessly tended to wounded soldiers in some of the toughest conditions imaginable. But they also had a more sinister side to their job - assisting with Third Reich's 'experiments' including euthanizing the mentally handicapped and other groups Hitler deemed 'undesirable' and assisting in the creation of 'Super Race Children.' A collection of photographs has captured these women, probably in the nursing profession's darkest hour. UV: A nurse gives children of working mothers UV light treatments at a nursery in Berlin, Germany The actions of the Nazi doctors throughout the war are well documented but the actions of the nurses and others who assisted them in their controversial endeavors are often ignored. Probably the most disturbing project the n...

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Tragedy and Humiliation.  U.S. and Australian brutalisation of women on the Japanese mainland (Excerpt From Pages 66-69) “There was a far darker side to the U.S. and allied occupation of Japan, one which is little mentioned in the vast majority of histories – American or otherwise. When Japan surrendered in August 1945, mass rapes by occupying forces were expected… [despite setting up of a comfort women which recruited or otherwise trafficked desperate women to brothels] such crimes were still common and several of them were extremely brutal and resulted in the deaths of the victims. Political science professor Eiji Takemae wrote regard- ing the conduct of American soldiers occupying Japan: ‘U.S. troops comported themselves like conquerors, especially in the early weeks and months of occupation. Misbehavior ranged from black-marketeering, petty theft, reckless driving and disorderly conduct to vandalism, assault, arson, murder and rape. Much of the vio...

The terrified young boy with his hands raised at the center of this image was one of nearly half a million Jews packed into the Warsaw ghetto, a neighborhood transformed by the ­Nazis into a walled compound of grinding starvation and death. Beginning in July 1942, the German occupiers started shipping some 5,000 Warsaw inhabitants a day to concentration camps. As news of exterminations seeped back, the ghetto’s residents formed a resistance group. “We saw ourselves as a Jewish underground whose fate was a tragic one,” wrote its young leader Mordecai Anielewicz. “For our hour had come without any sign of hope or rescue.” That hour arrived on April 19, 1943, when Nazi troops came to take the rest of the Jews away. The sparsely armed partisans fought back but were eventually subdued by German tanks and flame­throwers. When the revolt ended on May 16, the 56,000 survivors faced summary execution or deportation to concentration and slave-labor camps. SS Major General Jürgen Stroop took such...

French bullfighter SPARES the life of animal just after it gores him in the backside in brutal encounter A French bullfighter let the animal live after he got a horn up the backside while performing in his hometown.  Andy Younes, 20, was in the ring in Arles, equidistant from Marseille and Montpellier in the south of France, when the animal got after him.  Dramatic photographs captured the moment the young matador was caught by the bull, sending him tumbling to the ground.  And while the bull is usually killed at the end of a performance, if the animal shows exceptional skill they are pardoned and sent back to the ranch on which they were reared to live out their Younes, who entered the bullring for the first time when he was just five years old, was performing at the Feria de Paques Easter festivities in Arles, southern France, on Sunday.   The Easter Feria marks the start of the French bullfighting season, but it didn't get off to the best of starts ...

The Butcher of Warsaw, Oskar Dirlewanger, the worst of the worst... 124 years ago today in 1895, one of the most brutally barbaric men of all time, guilty for some of the worst crimes and atrocities of the 20th century, Oskar Dirlewanger, was born in Würzburg, Germany. Nicknamed ‘Gandhi’ for his slender build, such a name could not have been more ill-suited to such a beast of a man as Dirlewanger. Though the Nazi regime had many truly unforgiveable and demonic personalities in its employ, few of them come close to the level of sadistic savagery which Dirlewanger exercised, his evil belonging more to the world of Dante’s Inferno than to the mortal world of the living. Precious little is known of Dirlewanger’s exact origins or his family background. Born in the 1890s, he belonged to that generation of Germans who were destined from birth to fight in the Great War. In 1913 at the age of eighteen he joined the Prussian Army and served as a machine gunner of the Royal Württemberg Corps. The...

In the summer of 1944, at the same time as the D-Day landings, the Soviets were launching their massive offensive in Belorussia . It devastated Germany’s Army Group Center, and for the next few months Soviet troops ran wild. They raced west through Poland, pausing on the outskirts of Warsaw on the Vistula River in August and September to muster recourses - and also to allow the Germans to crush an uprising by the Polish resistance. Meanwhile, the gains continued in the Balkans. In August, Soviet troops poured into Romania and overwhelmed the Germans with tanks. Romania’s figurehead King Michael led a coup that overthrew Romania’s military government. Now, Romanians who had been fighting and dying in support of Adolf Hitler’s war would be fighting and dying in support of Joseph Stalin’s war. The loss of Romania also meant more fuel shortages for the Germans. Dominoes started to fall in southern Europe. After Romania, Bulgaria dropped out of the German alliance as well. The Soviets also ...

Nanjing!.

R*pe of Nanking The Japanese army had pushed quickly through China after capturing Shanghai in November 1937. By early December, it was on the outskirts of Nanjing. The speed of the army's advance was likely due to commanders allowing looting and rape along the way. As the Japanese approached, the Chinese army withdrew the bulk of its forces since Nanjing was not a defensible position. The civilian government of Nanjing fled, leaving the city under the de facto control of ...

This is new video of Rukhsha incidents! A brutal honor killing depicting a woman who was stoned to death in a hole by Afghan men was caught on tape and posted to social media on Friday. Stoning, or Rajm (Arabic: رجم) in Islamic literature, is a form of capital punishment practiced in United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Northern Nigeria, Aceh in Indonesia, Brunei, and parts of Pakistan. In Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which have been central fronts for the U.S. in the War on Terror, stoning has been declared illegal. However, it is practiced extrajudicially and according to Sharia, or Islamic law. Rajm is described as punishment in multiple hadiths–Shi’a sayings can be found in Kitab al-Kafi, while Sunni sayings can be found in the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim–but the method in the video is telling. In the sunnah of Muhammad, the method of stoning by digging a pit and burying the person’s lower half in it before stoning takes plac...
