Schutzstaffel

Medical Experimentation in Nazi Camps A long-standing hatred of the Jews came to a turning point when Hitler became chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Hitler had a “final solution” for the Jews which entailed extermination. Dachau opened March 1933 and the first people interred were political opponents of the Nazis.

This is important because then people can understand why the Nazis hated any other race besides their own. The Lebensborn society was created on December 12, 1935, and the creator was Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's right-hand man and head of the Schutzstaffel or the SS. He had planned a project to promote an "Aryan future" for the Third Reich and turn around a declining birth rate in Germany. People were motivated to have more children in the fatherland as well as in occupied countries. Most…

The most despicable person who ever lived is often thought to be Adolf Hitler, but he did not establish the concentration camps or the plan to eradicate the people he deemed impure. The real monster was Heinrich Himmler. His life before World War II helped shape his political views. With his political views, he quickly moved up the ranks, and accomplished many things for Nazi Germany. Heinrich Himmler came from a humble background and lived an average life before World War II. Heinrich…

The belief that the Jewish race was associated with the Devil developed from biblical times, thus shaping Jews into a scapegoat for social issues throughout the centuries. Jews were not viewed as equals to the rest of society nor were they given the opportunity to prove their worth. They were forced to believe that they were inferior to the majority of the world and that if a predicament occurred they were at fault, even if they had nothing to do with the matter. Jews were blamed for disliked…

June 6th of 1944, better known as D-Day, was not the first time the Allies had planned a major large scale invasion against Nazi Germany. The British were considering the possibility of a major Allied invasion across the English Channel in 1942 as well as later on in 1943. However, none of these operations were ever carried out, specifically due to the fact that the Germans were almost always aware of the Allies’ plans. This was not the case during D-Day, though, because the Germans did not know…

JAVIER, Bryle Felix A. A Critique on The Act of Killing When Adolf Eichmann, the SS-Obersturmbannführer who was responsible for the mass deportation of Jews in Eastern Europe to the death camps, was put on trial by the Israeli government for crimes against humanity, he constantly justified that he was acting upon that which was ordered upon him as well as going with the tide of the powers that be. This remorseless defense was famously chronicled and evaluated upon by the German Jew, Hannah…

Stalin, too, used children as targets for indoctrination, although he preferred the classroom education approach to the youth group movements of Nazi Germany. In Stalin’s Russia, children were taught from a young age that Stalin was their supreme leader, and that he knew what was best for their country. They would recite oaths of loyalty in classrooms, and pledge their allegiance to Russia and Stalin (Cote). This continuous repetition enforced their belief that they had to follow Stalin, and…

Concentration camps in Europe during World War II were a land of uncertainty for those detained there. They could be alive for an hour and dead the next; harsh weather, disease, lack of food/bedding and clothes, as well as merciless Wehrmachte [Schutzstaffel] (officers/guards of the concentration camps) all attributed to making their environment a living hell, but arguably the worst offender was – themselves. “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen” by Tadeusz…
