"Farewell, dear Soviet people. We will be killed today, but we want to live. We are young, we have survived terrible tortures, remained faithful to the Motherland ...
Me, Alec. Sergeevich Kuznetsov, Russian,
lived in ... My friend is Saarestik Valdur, an Estonian from the Estonian SSR. Dago Island, places ... "

A note from the underground worker Irina Malozhon transferred from prison.
Not later than October 1943
"Dear uncle, I am not afraid of death. I am only offended that I have lived a little, that I have done little for my country. Uncle, I am already used to prison, I am not alone here, there are many of us ... And yet I am not afraid of death. Tell mom not to cry. I still wouldn't live with her for long. I had my way. Let Mom hide the grain, or the Germans will take it. Farewell.
Your Irina. "

Letter and note from the Red Army signalman M. A. Blyumin. Found on the body.
October 22, 1941
Letter to relatives.
"Hello my dear.
I am writing in the same apartment, in the same city, where our unit took up defense. I am writing this letter to the accompaniment of our artillery, which sends "goodies" to the bastards. Today is four months since the war is going on ...
As long as I'm alive and well, I feel good, I'm sure that victory is ours. The Germans have already lost their military spirit, they have already begun to come to us and surrender.
They seem to be having a hard time. What do you hear? Write something about dad. Where is he? Where do you work and how do you help the front? And we, front-line soldiers, promise to crush the hated fascists, and together (if I am alive) we will celebrate at the great Victory Day.
Goodbye, hello to family and friends, be healthy, kiss. Your son Misha Blumin.
With whom do you correspond?
My address: Army in the field, field post, 321st reg. Regiment, communications company, to MA Blumin.!

Note by M.A. Blumina
(without date)
The order has been executed. Long live the Motherland!

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he ...

THERE WERE NO BATHROOM WITH MODERN TOILET IN MIDDLE AGES– worl

Image
THERE WERE NO BATHROOM WITH MODERN TOILET IN MIDDLE AGES It's true, that there were no bathrooms with modern toilets like the ones we have today. Instead, the palace residents relied on chamber pots. Basically, chamber pots were small pots or bowls that were used as a toilet in the bedroom. They were emptied in the palace's gardens or in cesspits located in the palace's cellars. It was a common practice in those days and not just limited to the Palace of Versailles, but also in other palaces and homes of the wealthy. Now, you might be thinking, how did they manage with this kind of system? Well, it was not as bad as it sounds. The palace was equipped with running water and the residents had private bathrooms, but they were only used for bathing and grooming. The palace was also equipped with a sewage system, but it was not conpalacenected to the toilets. In addition to that, the  was also serviced by a large staff, so chamber pots were regularly collected an...

On this day 2nd March 1945, Burma.

On this day 2nd March 1945, Burma. Corporal Fazal Din was attacked by sword wielding Japanese soldiers after taking an enemy bunker and was run through the chest by one of them. Din led an attack on a number of entrenched enemy positions. The Japanese had repelled an earlier assault, killing many of his friends.  To provide support, a tank went ahead of them, but it continued moving forward, leaving the bunkers, Din attacked the one nearest him; destroying it with grenades.  The other two lay silent because they were empty. He wheeled toward the last bunker as bullets mowed more men down, but not Din. Then the shooting stopped; the Japanese had run out of ammo. Furious, eight soldiers burst out of the bunker, wielding swords. The two in front were officers, screaming as they made a beeline toward the Indians. A Bren light machine gun killed one of the officers and a soldier but in doing so he, too, ran out of bullets. He was immediately killed by the second Japanese officer’s ...

The Death Of Tightrope Walker Karl Wallenda (video).

The Death Of Tightrope Walker Karl Wallenda (video) . Karl Wallenda's final — and tragic — tightrope walk was caught on video in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He had been performing stunts since he was six years old. He was trained to walk on a high wire, cycle across a tightrope, and balance as one of a seven-man pyramid. Rarely was a safety net used. For him, it seemed, nothing was impossible. Then, on March 22, 1978, the world watched in horror as Karl Wallenda fell to his death. As he attempted to walk across a high wire strung between the two towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel, the 73-year-old Wallenda lost his balance, teetering on the wire for 30 heart-stopping seconds before plummeting 10 stories.

Evil Experiment Carried Out In History Of World War Ll–world History And Facts. In the early to mid 1940s, during World War II and the Holocaust, the Nazi’s experimented on thousands of men, women and children. Their major target populations included Romani, Sinti, ethnic Poles, Soviet POWs, disabled Germans, and Jews from across Europe. At Auschwitz and other camps, under the direction of Eduard Wirths, selected inmates were subjected to various hazardous experiments that were designed to help German military personnel in combat situations, develop new weapons, aid in the recovery of military personnel who had been injured, and to advance the Nazi racial ideology. Experiments on twins Experiments on twin children in concentration camps were created to show the similarities and differences in the genetics of twins, as well as to see if the human body can be unnaturally manipulated.  The central leader of the experiments was Josef Mengele, who from 1943 to 1944 performed experiments...

The Disturbing History Of Chinese Water Torture — And How It Drove Victims Insane

Image
The Disturbing History Of Chinese Water Torture — And How It Drove Victims Insane. A centuries-old interrogation method, Chinese water torture was actually invented far from Asia and eventually evolved into far crueler forms of punishment. Human beings have inflicted untold suffering on each other since the dawn of time. Over the centuries, people have worked to devise constantly evolving forms of punishment and coercion. Compared to devices like the Iron Maiden or chains and whips, Chinese water torture may not sound particularly grueling, but history begs to differ. Medieval torture devices typically used razor-sharp blades, ropes, or blunt instruments to pry confessions from subjects. Chinese water torture was more insidious, however. According to the  New York Times Magazine , the torture method involves holding a person in place while slowly dripping cold water on their face, forehead, or scalp. The splash of water is jarring, and the victim experiences anxiety whi...

Execution by cannon in Shiraz, Iran, circa 1890s.

Image
Execution by cannon in Shiraz, Iran, circa 1890s. The prisoner is generally tied to a gun with the upper part of the small of his back resting against the muzzle.  When the gun is fired, his head is seen to go straight up into the air some forty or fifty feet; the arms fly off right and left, high up in the air, and fall at, perhaps, a hundred yards distance; the legs drop to the ground beneath the muzzle of the gun; and the body is literally blown away altogether. "Blown from a gun" was a punishment often used by colonial powers against locals who believed their body parts must be together to enter the afterlife. It was reserved as a special punishment when just death wasn't enough. Local feral dogs would usually eat the pieces of the dead that could be found. This photograph depicts the dreaded method of execution formally used in several parts of the world: death by cannon. Shiraz, modern day Iran. Circa 1890s.  This method of execution was used ever since at least the...
