    Too old to stand trial but the child wasn’t too old to be stomped to death. It’s amazing how relaxed the Justice system was of the crimes these women committed.

    My first job out of high school was washing dishes in a restaurant owned by a Czech concentration camp survivor. The commandant of the camp was a woman. He told me some of the things he saw her do and it would chill your blood. He escaped the camp as a dead man, then worked with the Underground helping other escapees and hiding civilians. The female commandant was hanged by the British when they liberated the camp.

    German here: No concentration camp had a female commandant. There where women in high-ranking positions, sure. Some like Ilse Koch or Irma Greese perpetuated and orchestrated atrocities, sure. But in the end they where below the "Lagerkommandant" ( commander of the camp) in the hierarchy. I dont doubt that your Czech buddie endured horrible things, but he seems to have misremembered or confused that detail.

    Oh my God. You all have my sympathy & condolences. It’s a shame but 10% of society falls into what I call: “the wackjob 10%.” Sociopaths, Psychopaths, criminals, “high conflict people.” Always angry, never take personal responsibility. It took me decades of dating to find the right woman. If I may give two pieces of advice. 1. Only get involved with women who have/had good relationships with their fathers. The ones with bad relationships with their dads will be a nightmare. Don’t even think about wasting your time playing therapist and fixing them. 2. Here is my own rule I wish I followed more often when I was single: take a woman out for an inexpensive, casual first date, coffee/Starbucks is good for this..something similar. Go out of your way to pay for their drink. I found 60% of the women would not even say “thank you” when I paid. Never call them again, when they are this poorly mannered. You will thank me later.

    As an history teacher I never pulled my punches. When teaching about the camps I would show my classes some truly horrific photographs, and tell the students the full stories behind them. Before the end of the lesson many in the room would be sobbing, and as they left I used to get many thank me, and later parents would also do the same, for having told them what they all felt was something they needed to know. When I taught there was limited information about the role of women in the camps, and it was necessary for me to gloss over the topic. I have to say that it was even worse than I thought, and despite my years of dealing with this period in history, I found it very disturbing. Thank you Dr Felton for your efforts in researching and presenting this information. How I wish I'd known then more of the facts that you present in your videos.

    As a student of history for 25 years and especially in WWII, I've always shied away from saying anything political in regards to these type of videos etc.. But in recent years I have noticed that whenever I strike up a conversation or vice versa about these type of events, it seems I now get instantly ridiculed for knowing actual history by the same folks who refuse to study history or that refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't go along with what they perceive as factual. I do believe we are in for dark days ahead and as the old cliche goes, which I hate saying, "history repeats itself."

The Nazis were not politically correct and their propaganda was unsophisticated and I feel quite simplistic as it was race/culture based.

    @@tibzig1 I don't see it as inherently wrong to use the data collected from the unethical experiments of the Nazis, so long as we continue to denounce those who conducted them. Scientifically speaking, data is data, it has no moral stance. It's just measurements and numbers. If we were to throw it all away then those who were victims will have had meaningless, purposeless deaths. The very least we can do after such atrocities is to try to give some meaning to the deaths by making some positive use of the knowledge gained. That said, most of the medical experiments the Germans did do was pseudoscientific junk and will never be useful for anything, other than to demonstrate the callous stupidity of Nazi ideology. In the case of Operation Paperclip, it's rather more ethically complicated. I've always been reviled by the deliberate programme by the US of repainting Werner Von Braun as some sort of great hero figure. His war role as a Nazi party sadist that tortured, poisoned and worked to death countless thousands of slave labourers was determinedly whitewashed. His research on rocketry was indeed revolutionary, but he was not a fit human being to be the scientific face of anyone's space program. Even if they did need him in the lab each day, they should have been locking him back into a solitary cell at night. Not giving him mega-dollar book deals, letting him open shopping malls and appear on primetime chat shows. It just makes me feel sick.

    Hello,.... My Husband is telling this story.. I'm only typing it for him, When I was a international Truck Driver, I had loaded gunnery Equipment for the British Army of the Rhine, but All I had on my Delivery note was " Honer " west Germany, and driving all night from Ostend, I arrived at Honer about 5 am, I thought to myself, the army camp must be easy to find, but I was wrong, so I drove around Honer without success, until I spotted a German , so I stopped and asked where the British Army camp was, and he replied.. 80 km's away and he showed me on my map. Dam I thought... so started driving to my new destination, as I approached Honer, I picked up the signs for the army camp... all I had to do was follow the Red arrow, However the town name changed from Honer to... "Belson-Honer" and I soon reached the camp, While the soldiers were unloading my truck, the officer in charge asked me if I had my breakfast yet, to which I replied.. I hadnt, The officer send.. come with me and took me to the officers mess, and he stayed with me while I was having breakfast, while I was eating I asked him... is this the Belson concentration camp ? to whichy he repied.. no... this building use to be the SS Barracks, but the concentration camp is about 1 km down the road but, do yourself a favor... dont go there,... So what did I do... yes, I went there, and to this Day, I wish I hadnt...

I don't know which Officers mess you are referring to as there were several around the camp as British, German and Dutch military were stationed there. It's a big camp, which I was stationed at for four years in the 1970's.

Corrie's sister was incarcerated there as well, but she perished at the camp prior to Corries release.

    I worked at the Dept. of Public Works in my town with a tenure of 32 years and eventually becoming foreman in the Water/Sewer Div. I’ve obtained state drinking water (potable water: fit for human consumption,) licenses. Let me tell y’all…there’s A LOT to know about water. From its raw form to intake at disinfection plants to disinfecting it w chlorine or hypochlorite solutions to detention time to distributing it to customers’ homes via the system of piping of which we maintained. Within my studies, the term Typhoid Fever was everywhere and I’ve learned that it comes from unclean, fecal infected water. As I watch these films on WWII and learn of Nazi barbarism it saddens me to the core on what these innocent prisoners had to endure. Simple things that we take for granted today: faucets at the ready to run clean water in every house, toilets to carry away waste water, a hot shower, refrigerators w food in them and other simple things I can’t think of right now…. All of these were unavailable to these prisoners for long periods of time. Though tough to watch and learn of these despicable acts, it’s important to know that it did in fact did happen.

    Yes it did, but it only became serious during the few last months of the war. Until then those problems had been managed at least well enough to avoid such horrific epidemics. Unfortunately, the allies are quick to blame the Germans for it when it was them who hads destroyed the whole infrastructure systems all over Germany. Food, medications, spare parts and anything else needed for the operation of overcrowded camps could reach their destination, by then the Allies pilots were shooting anything that moved, including farmers in their fields. That is clearly confirmed in the 1948 Red Cross Reports on their activities during the war.

    There were a few thousand guards directly involved with the camps. A few hundred thousand soldiers were involved with escorting prisoners. A lot of these knew of mass executions, some were even directly involved but something like the camps was not something many people had actual knowledge off. If you live in 1942 Germany, you don't have free press. What you do have is a gigantic secret police that took any open critics of the regime, as well as anyone who they knew to be critical & you have a ton of propaganda concerning an alleged "resettlement". It’s not that _nobody_ knew but even the allies thought that the reports from the camps were fake. That nothing so bad could actually be going on. Covering up something that is happening in an occupied territory, far away from home, is incredible easy if are in a totalitarian state. People always ask the wrong questions: Was the Wehrmacht clean? Did the Germans know? Of course the Wehrmacht wasn’t clean, of cause the Germans knew. But to what *degree* ? That’s the thing, nobody ( and by that I mean really few people ) are talking about actual numbers. They just make it into yes and no questions but really, the answer is usually, it depends. Some knew, others didn’t.

    When I was a PhD Candidate at the University of München, my proposed Thesis was on the KZ System. I lectured on the topic several times and I had an interesting segment about the Women. This video covered the bulk of that theme, and maybe with time we can cover some if the individual anecdotes regarding some of the women. They were very complex and unusual individuals indeed. Even "scaring" seasoned SS male Camp guards with their antics. An interesting time to be sure. A close parallel is the Islamofacist formation of ISIS..when indoctrination and blind belief makes average people do incredibly horrible things.

I do know of a few such cases where prison commandants were fired for not being "cruel enough" to prisoners, as if a certain quota was expected. I wonder how many fell into this category as I would imagine many people lack the capacity to be this evil. I'm sure there is little record of this, we can only speculate.
