I can understand that when the GI's were liberating Dachau, ss officers in the camp threw down their arms and stood with their hands in the air and smiling, why they were shot down where they stood. After seeing the barbarity of the camps, it's easy to understand their disgust, hate and abhorrence for the kind of people who did that and expected to be taken prisoner and treated humanely, I can only say that I would have done the same. The GI's also stood by and watched the prisoners they had released beat to death the camp guards. The pictures taken of such incidents were not pleasant, they are outthere on the internet,

Everyone who didn't agree with Hitler was labelled a communist to justify his disdain, to make it more acceptable that they were sent to concentration camps. Exactly the same, only different in name. The only difference being that if push comes to shove and there was a civil war or similar today, the fascist left would be annihilated a lot quicker than the fascists of the 1930's.

Their fellow man decided to show just how much of animal they really were. All humans have an sadistic streak inside of them. Why else is the concept of revenge universal for our species. After being tortured and deprived for so long, and now having an opportunity to do the same to your torturer....... As they say, “Payback is a Bitch”.

My father was in the Polish army in the war his friend Anton Golba who was later in the Polish underground and was captured and sent to Auschwitz. I remember him saying that when the gas’ chambers were so overloaded with women ,babies and elderly the Germans had the prisoners dig massive pits to burn them. Anton mentioned how one Christmas at Auschwitz the German guards were singing the German Christmas song Oh Tannenbaum while they flung babies and small children ALIVE into these burning pits. I visited Auschwitz with my father back in the 1970’s and those massive pits were still there. Auschwitz had over 8,000 SS people working there, Germans of course but also Austrians and Ukrainian who were just as vicious. Out of the 8,000 SS I think less than 100 were hanged.

The only thing that makes me madder at what they did, is that they tried to lie, or downplay their behavior and deeds. “I didn’t agree with killing Jews”! “I gave them extra food or rations”! Yea right, Tell it to GOD!

I had a friend whose parents were in the camps. They weren't like any people in our upper middle class neighborhood. There was a real flatness to them but we were kids and didn't understand why. One time his father got mad at me and was shaking the wooden fence. Why? who knows. I was worried because if he touched me, my father who was an combat infantry man in WW2 would have taken taken him apart. So, his father died suddenly. His family was at home receiving condolences. The way it worked was that his mother was in one room being cared for and receiving condolences from other death camp inmates and friends. And in the other room was my friend and his brother receiving condolences from their friends. And then I knew the depth of what they went through. Their bond was even stronger than blood.

The Americans knew this, but did not share this. Early in the war, there were rumors of camps and horrible conditions. So the military asked certified pacifists if they would voluntarily go thru a “starvation test” to see how starvation would affect the human body and the best ways to “bring them back”. The Pacifists were told this was to help POW’s found. Doctors present would monitor their bodies and how they reacted. They would also make sure no one dropped below being 30% being underweight for ethical reasons. Which is still quite a lot. I saw an interview of one of the volunteers. He recalled the physical and psychological effects of being so hungry. How afterwards he was very food paranoid afterwards. But seeing the camp footage after the war, knowing what he went thru helped save lives, he would do it again. As a military brat, and supporter of our troops, I wanted to give him a hug. Recalling what he remembered clearly hurt. He may of been a certified pacifist. But he still helped.

Doctors made sure no one dropped below 30% below healthy body weight....well tried to. They closely monitored how the body reacted to starvation, and how it reacted to food. They quickly realized an introduction of rich food was a BAD idea. Instead, they needed simple basic foods, like broths or even baby food to be given since the body could not handle the rich food anymore. A slow gradual introduction of protein, electrocutes and only much later carbs could be introduced.

@@WyattRyeSway It is not a historian's job to make moral judgements. They should report the facts and put them into context. A historian needs to ask "what, why, etc", not "was this good or bad?"

I’m a Russian-Israeli Jew (which is oddly the second time I’ve said this in the last hour) and as someone who lost family in the holocaust, it was bad. Genocide is bad. The Armenian genocide was bad. The Native American trail of tears was bad. Sometimes, we must make moral judgments. The holocaust was bad and the punishment was justified for most. Many didn’t get as much as they deserved. Perhaps some got more but the holocaust was bad and these cases, given they were adjudicated and sentenced, not just murdered, were justice, not vengeance. As a Russian Jew from Petersburg (which was Leningrad during the great patriotic war), I am well aware of Nazi atrocities. Many, too many, escaped justice. Many did not. These are the cases of those who did not. Justice was meted out (I think I used the word meted right but I’ll apologize now in case I didn’t).

He had standards. He was a professional. He went above and beyond to endure those condemned died quickly. Before condemning Albert.....remember those he executed were sentenced to death by the state or thru trial. He was not Judge or Jury. He was just the executioner. While it’s scary how he had killing a person quickly down to a science, he has no botched executions to his name. He also treated the dead with respect by cleaning the bodies afterwards. When set to execute the aforementioned criminals in this special, he threw a fit when there was only 12 coffins, not 13. “they paid the ultimate price, they are dead. There is no use in punishing them further”. Interesting fact. Ancient executors had to ensure the condemned were healthy and fit before execution often. They actually had side jobs as doctors as a result because they had a lot of knowledge on human anatomy and medicines as a result. One executer estimated he actually saved more lives then he took. One executer was so renown for his ability as a doctor that the state pardoned his children so they could (before job went from father to children per the law) so they could become doctors and not have to carry on his legacy of being an executioner.

What's a "normal man", come to think of it?

All this because the people believed in the ideology and followed one man. How stupid is life.

Do you have information on Wilhelm Boger, who was an SS sargent working in the Political Office (i.e. prisoner interrogation) at Auschwitz? He apparently enjoyed beating people to death on his "Boger Swing" apparatus. He was tried in the German Frankfurt trial in 1964 or 1965 and convicted, sentence to life with hard labor.

Who’s the man in the photo at 8:36? Second from the right, next to Hossler I think. I’ve seen him in so many Auschwitz photos. He’s always smiling or laughing and it pisses me off.

Mr. Pierrepoint was far too professional for those Nazi killers. The liberators should have handed over the Beast of Belsen and all the other Nazi beasts to the surviving prisoners for execution.

And Hess supposedly wasn't one of the really bad ones. He flew to Scotland early in the war, before the really horrendous concentration stuff started and allegedly thought he was going to arrange a peace agreement with the UK

it is Hoessler not Hossler as pronounced by the narrator

The deadpan narration style spoils these videos.

I do understand that guards were given orders that they had to follow or suffer the consequences themselves, however some of these animals really seem to enjoy the power of life and the brutality that came with it. Some of the female guards were just as evil

A SS Cook conjures up some funny images. Might explain why he was such a miserable human being.
