The Third Reich (German for "empire", "state" and even "kingdom") is the German Empire, which lasted from 1933 to 1945. After the National Socialist Party came to power under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the Weimar Republic fell and was replaced by the Third Reich. Secrets, riddles and secrets of its rulers still excite the minds of mankind. Consider some of the features of this empire in the article.
Third Reich
The first Reich was a state in Europe - the Holy Roman Empire, which included many of the European countries. Germany was considered the foundation of the empire. This state existed from 962 to 1806.
From 1871 to 1918, a period began, which is called the Second Reich. His decline came after the surrender of Germany, economic crisis and the subsequent abdication of the Kaiser from the throne.
Hitler planned that the empire of the Third Reich would stretch from the Urals to Atlantic Ocean. The Reich, which was prophesied for a thousand years, fell after thirteen.
The Fuhrer dreamed of the greatness of Germany and its revival as a world power. However, the Nazi Party became a product of bitterness and chaos.
From the very beginning, all of Hitler's speeches were filled with the spirit of violence and hatred. Strength was the only power he recognized. For the Germans, the new order meant, above all, the return of the national dignity that had been lost in 1918. Hitler managed to combine humiliation and the desire to rise, giving these feelings a new monstrous meaning.
The birth of the Nazi ideology. Aryan race
For outsiders, one of the secrets of the Third Reich was the phenomenon of National Socialism. Hundreds of rituals arose out of nowhere and fascinated millions of Germans.
Darwin's theory has led people into confusion. Centuries-old faith in God was undermined. Occult sects and circles sprang up all over the country. Secret societies were created that tried to revive ancient Germanic mythology.
They drew knowledge from the writings of Guido von List, an Austrian esotericist who claimed that the ancient knowledge of the German people was revealed to him.
WITH late XIX centuries, crowds of seekers of truth flock to ancient and mysterious Tibet. Many do not want to believe that man descended from a monkey, and come here in search of perfection and knowledge of the secrets of the world.
One of the travelers was Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who created the work The Secret Doctrine. In this book, she writes about how, in one of the Tibetan monasteries, she was shown an ancient manuscript that tells about the secrets of the world and reveals the secrets of the past. Blavatsky's books talk a lot about the seven root races, one of which, the Aryan, is supposed to save the world.
The List Society, together with German mythology, skillfully combines the works of Blavatsky. In its charter, it prescribes the laws of the future Aryan people.
Along with List's theory, the science of eugenics emerged, based on Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest. She proposes weeding out the weak and sick, giving evolution a chance to create a healthy generation. Increasingly, it is believed that the key to the well-being of the nation is heredity. From Britain, eugenics reaches Germany, where it is called "racial purity" and deeply influences German occultists.
After List's death, Jörg Lanz took his place and, combining occultism and eugenics, created theosoology - the occult religion of the race.
The history of the creation of the Third Reich is closely connected with the name of Lanz. When Hitler comes to power, he, being his ardent admirer, divides the inhabitants of Germany into two parts by the first law - pure Aryans and those who will be their subjects.
Secret societies
In his visions of the ancient tribes, Guido von List saw a secret order of priest-rulers, keepers of all the secret knowledge of the German people, and called it "Armanenshaft". List argued that Christianity forced the guardians to go into the shadows, and their knowledge protected such societies as the Freemasons, the Templars and the Rosicrucians. In 1912, an order is founded, into which many leaders of the National Socialists enter. They call themselves the "Armanist Assembly".
The renunciation of the Kaiser's power was a terrible blow to the heads of secret societies, since it was believed that the aristocracy had the purest blood and the strongest supernatural abilities.
Among the many groups organizing the counter-revolutionary nationalist opposition is the Thule Society, an anti-Semitic lodge that promotes the teachings of List. This secret society was popular among high society and strictly observed the purity of Aryan blood. The hair of the true heirs of the race of the gods had to be blond or dark blond, the eyes were light, and the skin was pale. In the Berlin branch, even the jaw and head size were measured. In 1919, under the auspices of the Thule, the German Workers' Party was founded, of which Hitler became a member, and then the leader. Later, "Tulle" is transformed into "Ahnenerbe", another of the secrets of the Third Reich. The symbol of the party is the swastika, the exact shape of which was chosen by Hitler himself.
Mystery of the swastika
The Nazi Party adopted the swastika as its emblem in 1920. It spread everywhere - on buckles, sabers, orders, banners, being a symbol of the occult and esotericism.
Hitler personally developed a sketch of the flag of the Third Reich. The red is social thought in motion, the white represents nationalism and the swastika is the symbol of the Aryans' struggle and their victory, which will always be anti-Semitic.
The swastika was a symbol of the basic dogma of the Nazis, which stated that absolute will would triumph over the forces of darkness and chaos. In the world of social-nationalism, the Aryan race was the bearer and distributor of order. Before the swastika became a symbol of the Nazi party, Austrians and Germans began to use it in the form of amulets. This was back in World War I and had its roots in the teachings of Blavatsky and Guido von List.
Elena Petrovna was shown seven symbols, the most powerful of which was the swastika. In Tibetan mythology, the swastika is a solar symbol meaning the sun, as well as the fire god Agni. The swastika was a manifestation of light, order and fortitude.
Guido von List, while traveling into the past, discovers the secret meaning of the runes. Ancient signs, according to List, were the most powerful energy weapons.
The Nazis used runes everywhere. For example, the rune "Sig" - "victory", was the emblem of the Hitler Youth, the double "Sig" was the trademark of the SS, and the rune of death "Man" replaced the crosses from the monuments.
Photos of the flag of the Third Reich in the hands of Nazi soldiers still inspire fear in thousands of people.
Among all the strange symbols, List, like Blavatsky, put the swastika above all. He told a legend about how God created the world with a fiery broom, a swastika that symbolized the act of creation.
A lot of documentaries have been shot about the swastika and other secrets of the Third Reich. They provide facts and evidence about the secret symbolism that was filled with Nazism.
Black Sun of the Third Reich
One of the secrets of the Third Reich was the elite SS detachments, keeping many mysteries and secrets. Even members of the Nazi Party did not know what was going on inside this organization.
Initially, they were the Fuhrer's bodyguards, and then, led by Hitler's personal bodyguard, Henry Himmler, became a mystical elite. It was from their ranks that a new super race was to emerge.
People were considered as ideal samples of the purest Aryan blood. Getting there was not easy. Even one seal blocked the way to this select detachment of the Third Reich. True Aryans had to prove the presence of German ancestors since 1750 and study the racial biology and esoteric destiny of the Aryans.
The SS has become a secret occult order dedicated to building an empire. The Aryans were supposed to subjugate all peoples. According to Nazi mythology, it was believed that in solar system there are two suns - visible and black, that which can be seen only by knowing the truth. It was the symbol of this sun that the SS detachments were supposed to become, the secret decoding of which was translated as the “Black Sun” (German: Schwarze Sonne).
"Ahnenerbe"
In 1935, the historical society "Ahnenerbe" - "the heritage of the ancestors" was created. His official mission was to study historical roots German people and the spread of the Aryan race throughout the world. This is the only organization that officially dealt with magic and mysticism with the support of the state. By 1937 it becomes the research department of the SS.
The Ahnenerbe scientists had to study history and rewrite it so that it was the Aryans, the blue-eyed and fair-haired Nordic race that brought light to the rest of humanity, that became the progenitors of all mankind. All the discoveries were made by the Germans, and it was they who created the whole civilization. The Nazis recruited philologists and folklorists, archaeologists and engineers. Special Sonderkommandos were sent to the occupied territories to search for ancient treasures.
Experts gathered around the world dealt with astronomy, mathematics, genetics, medicine, as well as psychotropic weapons and methods of influencing human brain. They studied magical rites, the occult sciences, the paranormal abilities of people and experimented on them. The goal was to contact the higher minds of ancient civilizations and alien races to gain new knowledge, including high technology.
But above all, the Ahnenerbe scientists were interested in Tibet.
SS expeditions to Tibet
In the thirties of the XX century, Tibet was practically unexplored and difficult to access, and therefore full of mysteries. The legend was passed from mouth to mouth that the mythical Shambhala, a country of goodness and truth, is hidden in the Himalayas. There, in deep caves, lived the guardians of our world, who knew great secrets.
Interested in the secrets of Tibet and the Third Reich. The Nazis tried several times to enter the country.
In 1938, the Austrian biologist Ernst Schaeffer, under the auspices of the Ahnenerbe, went to Lhasa.
In addition to the mythical Shambhala, Schaeffer was to develop ties with the Dalai Lama and the Prince Regent. Germany promised to help Tibet in the fight against the British. Schaeffer intended to smuggle weapons for the Tibetans to attack the British posts on the border with Nepal.
After Schaeffer, the Nazis made many expeditions, taking out ancient texts written in Sanskrit from there. There is a version according to which "Ahnenerbe" got to Shambhala and came into contact with powerful spirits. The wise men agreed to help Hitler and for a long time provided magical support.
It is said that the gas chambers in the concentration camps and the people who were burned in them were sacrifices to the gods of the Nazis.
However, they did not hear the fascists' pleas for world domination, and the bright ones turned away, not recognizing violence and bloody sacrifices.
Underground cities of the Third Reich
Keep the secrets of the Third Reich underground SS cities and military factories. Some of these objects are still classified by special services.
Underground factories of the Third Reich became one of the most large-scale projects humanity. When Allied aircraft began to strike military factories, the Minister of Armaments in 1943 proposed moving them underground.
Thousands of prisoners were driven to concentration camps, who were forced to work in inhuman conditions.
In the town of Nordhausen, underground tunnels are located in the rock, where one of the secret developments of the Luftwaffe, the V-2 rocket, was made. From here, rockets were delivered by underground railway to launch points.
On the territory of Falkenhagen, in a dense forest, the Zeiverg object is hidden, which is still partially classified. The Nazis planned to produce a terrible weapon there - the nerve gas "Zarin". Death from him came within six minutes. Fortunately, the plant was never completed. He continues to keep the secrets of the Third Reich. underground cities SS are not only in Germany, but also in Poland.
Not far from Salzburg, an underground plant was built with secret tunnel branches, code-named "Cement". They were going to manufacture intercontinental ballistic missiles there, but the project did not have time to launch.
Fürstenstein Castle near Waldenburg hides one of the biggest secrets of the Third Reich. This is an underground complex in which a complex system of shelters was created for Hitler and the top of the Wehrmacht. In case of danger, the elevator lowered the Fuhrer to a depth of 50 meters. There was a mine, the ceiling height of which reached 30 meters. The building was given the code name "Rize" - "Giant".
Treasures of the Third Reich
After Germany begins to lose, Hitler gives the order to hide the gold that the Nazis confiscated in the conquered territories. Wagons loaded with treasures go to the untouched war lands of Bavaria and Thuringia.
In May 1945, the Allies captured a fascist train with untold riches, and boxes full of silver and gold coins were found in the Merkers mine. After that, rumors spread about the new secret of the Third Reich. Where are the treasures of Hitler, many adventurers wanted to know.
In total, the Nazis confiscated more than 8 billion gold from the occupied countries, but, as it turned out, this was not enough for them.
In concentration camps, Sonderkommandos collected gold from the crowns of murdered prisoners, as well as rings, earrings, chains, and other jewelry confiscated during searches. According to some reports, by the end of the war, about 17 tons of gold had been collected. The crowns were melted down at a factory in Frankfurt, made into ingots, then taken to a special account of Melmer in the Reichsbank. When Germany lost the war, the gold was still in the deposits, but when the Russians entered Berlin, it was not there.
From the underground residence of the Fuhrer - "Rize", only a part of the drawings remained, so there were rumors that not all tunnels were found. It is said that a freight train filled with gold is hidden somewhere underground. The dimensions of the structures indicate that they were built, including for transport.
The legend of the "golden train" says that in April 1945 the train left for the city of Wroclaw and disappeared. Scientists say that this is impossible, since the city was surrounded by that moment. Soviet troops and he couldn't get there. However, this does not prevent treasure seekers from continuing their search, and some claim to have seen wagons standing in the dungeons.
It is known for sure that most of the gold was hidden in the Merkers mine. IN last days The Nazis carried the rest of the treasures throughout Germany during the Third Reich. They lowered gold into mines, drowned it in rivers and lakes, buried it at battlefields, and even hid it in death camps. The secret of the Third Reich, where Hitler's treasure is located, has not yet been unraveled. Perhaps he lies and waits for his master.
Nazi bases in Antarctica
In the summer of 1945, two German submarines from the Fuhrer's personal convoy moored to the shores of Argentina. When the captains were interrogated, it turned out that both boats were repeatedly on south pole. So it turned out that he hides many secrets of the Third Reich and Antarctica.
After the discovery of the mainland in 1820 by Bellingshausen and Lazarev, it was forgotten for a century. However, Germany began to show an active interest in Antarctica. At the end of the thirties, Luftwaffe pilots flew there and staked out the territory, calling it New Swabia. Submarines and the research vessel "Schwabia" with equipment and engineers began to regularly go to the shores of Antarctica. Perhaps they began to transport there during the war important people and secret industries. Judging by the documents found, the Nazis created in Antarctica military base, which had the code name "Base-211". It was needed for the search for uranium, control over the countries of America, and so that in the event of a defeat in the war, the ruling elite could hide there.
After the war, when the Americans began to recruit scientists who worked for the Wehrmacht, they found that most of them had disappeared. More than a hundred submarines were also lost. This also remains a secret of the Third Reich.
The fleet, sent by the Americans to Antarctica to destroy the Nazi base, returned empty-handed, and the admiral spoke about incomprehensible flying objects, similar to saucers, that jumped out of the water and attacked the ships.
Later, drawings were found in the archives of Germany, which indicated that scientists were really developing disc-shaped aircraft.
To better understand the events in which Germany took part from 1939 to 1945, the documentary film "The Third Reich in Color" will help. It contains unique shots from the life ordinary people, ordinary soldiers and the Nazi elite, the public life of the country in the form of parades, rallies and military campaigns, as well as its "dark side" - concentration camps with a monstrous number of victims.
We are used to watching all the horrors, mysteries, secrets and mysteries of the Third Reich from TV screens and book pages. Let these stories about Nazism be stored in the memory of people and, left in the past, will never be repeated again.
"Ahnenerbe". The existence of this highly classified organization, created with the personal participation of Adolf Hitler almost a hundred years ago, is the subject of the closest attention of top-ranking leaders of the USA, the USSR (Russia), France, England, China ... What was it: a myth, a legend that keeps the dark , terrible mysteries of prehistoric civilizations, alien knowledge, magical secrets of otherworldly forces? Let's try to figure it out...
Ahnenerbe takes its origin from the mystical organizations Germanenorden, Thule and Vril. It was they who became the "three pillars" of the National Socialist ideology, supporting the doctrine of the existence in prehistoric times of a certain island - Arctida. A powerful civilization, which had access to almost all the secrets of the universe and the universe, died after a grandiose catastrophe. Some people miraculously escaped. Subsequently, they mixed with the Aryans, giving impetus to the emergence of a race of superhumans - the ancestors of the Germans. That's it, no more, no less! Yes, and how can one not believe it: after all, hints of this are clearly visible in the "Avesta" - the oldest Zoroastrian source! The Nazis were looking for confirmation of their racial theory all over the world - from Tibet to Africa and Europe. They looked for ancient manuscripts and manuscripts containing information on history, magic, yoga, theology. Everything that contained at least the slightest, albeit legendary, mention of the Vedas, Aryans, Tibetans. The highest interest in such knowledge was shown by the ruling elite of Germany - politicians, industrialists, and the scientific elite. All of them tried to master unprecedented, higher knowledge, encrypted and scattered throughout all religions and mystical beliefs of the world, and not only ours. And we must pay tribute not without success.
The residence of the educational, historical and educational society for the study of German history was located in the small provincial town of Weischenfeld, Bavaria.
Wewelsburg Castle, headquarters of the Ahnenerbe after entering the SS
The initiators of the creation of the "Ahnenerbe", in addition to Hitler, were the Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, SS Gruppenfuehrer Hermann Wirth ("godfather")
and racologist Richard Walter Dare. By and large, "Ahnenerbe" was looking for sources of "special knowledge", those that could contribute to the creation of a superman with superpower, superknowledge. During the Second World War, "Ahnenerbe" receives a full carte blanche to conduct "medical" experiments to create it. The Institute conducted thousands of sadistic experiments: captured soldiers of the anti-Hitler coalition, women, children sacrificed their lives on the altar of genetic and physiological experiments of the Nazis! Moreover, the masters of shoulder cases from science also tormented the elite of the SS - members of the "knightly" orders: "Lords of the Black Stone", "Black Knights" Thule "and such a Masonic order within the SS itself -" Black Sun ". The effect of various poisons, exposure to high and low temperatures, pain thresholds - these are the main "scientific" programs. And besides, the possibility of mass psychological and psychotropic influence, work on the creation of a superweapon was investigated. To conduct scientific research, Ahnenerbe attracted the best personnel - world-famous scientists. However, one should not think that everything was lumped together. No, Ahnenerbe, with German pedantry, divided the work into the following areas: the creation of a superman, medicine, the development of new non-standard types of weapons (including mass destruction, including atomic weapons), the possibility of using religious and mystical practices and ... the possibility of intercourse with alien highly developed civilizations. Not weak?! Have the Ahnenerbe scientists achieved any significant results? It is quite possible, especially when you consider that after the defeat of the "thousand-year Reich", the United States and the USSR made titanic efforts to search for the Ahnenerbe archives, all kinds of materials, employees, material values. What was discovered in complete secrecy was taken out. Scientists mastered the new, again secret laboratories of the victorious countries, where they continued to work in the same vein. The huge breakthrough of the USSR and the USA in the field of atomic, electronic, aerospace and machine-building technologies in the post-war period can serve as confirmation of the achievement of certain successes by the scientists of "Ahnenerbe". But let's go in order.
A well-known and indisputable fact is the adherence of the leaders of the Third Reich to various mystical practices of the East, and especially Tibetan ones. Moreover, the Nazis began relations with Tibetan monks back in the mid-1920s. It remains unclear why the Buddhist monks felt such a disposition towards fascism. Maybe they were attracted by the idea of creating a superstate? But be that as it may, several historical research expeditions undertaken by the Germans to Tibet in the late 30s were crowned with complete success. The expedition members, led by Ernst Schaeffer, managed to visit the city of Lhasa, which was closed to outsiders, moreover, they visited the sacred place - Yarling, and the regent Kvotukhtu gave Hitler a personal letter in which he called him "king".
Forbidden City Lhasa (Tibet)
After spending three months in the East, the expedition brought to Germany hundreds of meters of film dedicated to mystical and religious rites, many manuscripts subjected to the most careful study. As a result, a report fell on the table to Hitler, after reading which he was extremely excited, and the idea of a superweapon, as well as the idea of interstellar flights, no longer left the leader of the Third Reich. And after the establishment of radio communications between Berlin and Lhasa, a large group of representatives from Tibet arrived in Germany. Their corpses, dressed in SS uniforms, were subsequently discovered in the premises of the Reich Chancellery and in Hitler's bunker. What mission was assigned to these representatives of the far East remained a mystery, which they voluntarily took with them to the grave. To what has been said, it is perhaps worth adding that in search of mystical documents, German scientists and special Sonder teams searched not only Tibet. They exported to Germany dozens and hundreds of parchments in Sanskrit, ancient Chinese. Wernher von Braun, the creator of the first rocket aircraft, once said: “We learned a lot while doing research in mysticism, astronautics and much more, Ahnenerbe was actively working on much more prosaic things, for example, atomic weapons for ourselves in these papers.” And quite recently, absolutely fantastic materials have appeared that the lion's share of knowledge on the development of atomic weapons and space technology"Ahnenerbe"received from representatives higher civilization from Aldebaran. Communication with the "aldebarans" was carried out from a top-secret base located in Antarctica. In 1946, the Americans undertook a search expedition. One aircraft carrier, fourteen ships, one submarine - quite an impressive force! Richard Evelyn Byrd, who led this event, code-named "High Jump", literally stunned the magazine fraternity many years later: "We examined the Ahnenerbe base. There I saw unprecedented aircraft capable of covering vast distances in a fraction of a second. The devices were disc-shaped.
One of the "flying disk" schemes
Equipment and devices were delivered to Antarctica by special submarines. This begs the question: why Antarctica? A very interesting answer can be found in secret materials about the activities of Ahnenerbe. The fact is that it is there that the so-called transdimensional window is located. And the already mentioned Wernher von Braun spoke about the existence of disc-shaped aircraft capable of climbing to a height of 4000 kilometers. Fantastic? May be. However, the creator of the V-1 and V-2 can probably be trusted. By the way, in 1945 at a secret factory in Austria soviet soldiers found similar devices. Everything found under conditions of the strictest secrecy moved to the "bins" of the USSR. And the stamp "Top Secret" for many years reliably provided the citizens of the Land of Soviets with a calm sleep of ignorance. So, the Nazis communicated with representatives of other worlds? Not excluded. Although there is one “small” discrepancy here - who are they and what are they ?! To give such a regime as fascism, the technology of interplanetary movement, the manufacture of FAA rockets and “spice up” such a bouquet with mini-atomic bombs! Maybe the Hollywood filmmakers are right, making films about evil "little green men"?!
Yes, the special archives of the USA, the USSR (Russia) and England keep many secrets! In them, perhaps, you can find information about the work of the "priests" "Thule" and "Vril" to create a time machine, and when - in 1924! The machine was based on the principle of "electrograviton", but something went wrong there and the engine was installed on a flying disk. However, research in this area was too slow and Hitler insisted on accelerating other more urgent projects - atomic weapons and V-1, V-2 and V-7. Interestingly, the principles of the FAA-7 movement were based on the knowledge of the possibility of arbitrary influence on the categories of space and time! Fantastic to such an extent that I can’t believe it, but I really want to ...
Being engaged in research in mysticism, astronautics and much more, Ahnenerbe was actively working on much more prosaic things, for example, atomic weapons. Quite often, in various historical materials, one can find a statement about the false direction of the Germans' research, they say, they would never have received positive results. This is absolutely not true! The Germans already in 1944 had atomic bomb! According to various sources, they even conducted several tests: the first on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea, the other two in Thuringia. One of the explosions was carried out with the participation of prisoners of war. Destruction of a total nature was observed within a radius of 500 meters, with regards to people, some burned down without a trace, the remaining bodies bore traces of high-temperature and radiation exposure. Stalin found out about the tests a few days later, just like Truman. The Germans were actively preparing for the use of "weapons of retaliation". It was for him that the V-2 rockets were designed. A small warhead with a powerful charge that sweeps entire cities off the face of the earth is what you need! Here's just one problem: the Americans and Russians are also developing nuclear programs. Will they strike back? Leading atomic experts Kurt Dinber, Wernher von Braun, Walter Gerlach and Werner Heisenberg did not rule out such a possibility. It should be noted that the German superbomb was not atomic in the full sense of the word, but rather thermonuclear. Interestingly, one German atomic scientist, Heilbronner, stated: “Alchemists knew about atomic explosives that can be extracted from just a few grams of metal,” and the German Minister of Arms supplemented him in January 1945: “There is an explosive the size of a matchbox, the quantities of which enough to destroy the whole of New York." Hitler lacked, according to analysts, one year. "Ahnenerbe" and "Thule" did not have time ...
However, Ahnenerbe obtained scientific knowledge not only in the traditional way. "Thule" and "Vril" practiced methods of astral obtaining information from the noosphere, by feeding the test subjects with potent drugs, poisons, hallucinogens. Communication with spirits, with "higher unknowns" and "higher minds" was also widely practiced.
One of the initiators of obtaining knowledge through black magic was Karl-Maria Wiligut. Wiligut is the last representative of an ancient family, cursed by the church in the Middle Ages. The name Wiligut can be translated as "god of will", which is equivalent to "fallen angel". The very origin of the clan, as well as its coat of arms, is shrouded in mystery, and given the presence of two swastikas in the middle of the coat of arms and its almost complete identity with the coat of arms of the Manchu dynasties, one can imagine what a great influence this person had on the top of the Third Reich. Sometimes he was called "Rasputin Himmler." In the most difficult times, Himmler sought the support of Wiligut. He read the fate of the Reich Minister from certain tablets, completely covered with mysterious letters. Yes, the demand for black magic in Nazi Germany was always the highest. In 1939, the black magician Wiligut retired. He spent the rest of his days in his family estate, terrifying the locals, who considered him the secret king of Germany. Mage died in1946. And with it, many secrets of the "thousand-year Reich" died.Carl Maria Willigut
But the secrets of the Ahnenerbe are still alive and waiting to be unraveled...
John Woods was a good executioner. When his victim hovered in the air, he grabbed her by the legs and hung with her, reducing the suffering of the dangling in the noose. But this is in his native Texas, where he has already executed more than three hundred people.
On the night of October 16, 1946, Woods retreated from his principles.
The American pros were to hang the bosses of the Third Reich: Goering, Ribbentrop, Keitel, Kaltenbrunner, Jodl, Sauckel, Streicher, Seiss-Inquart, Frank, Frick and Rosenberg. In this group prison photo, they are almost at full strength.
The Nuremberg prison where the Nazis were kept was in the American zone, so the executioner was also provided by the US government. In this image, US Sgt. John Woods demonstrates the "know-how" of his legendary 13-knot loop.
Goering was to be the first to ascend the scaffold, followed by Ribbentrop, but two hours before the execution, the Reichsmarshal committed suicide by taking a capsule of potassium cyanide, which (according to one of the possible versions) was given to him by his wife in a farewell kiss during their last meeting in prison.
How Goering found out about the upcoming execution is unknown; its date was kept a strict secret from the condemned and the press. Before death, the convicts were even fed, offering one of two dishes to choose from: sausages with salad or pancakes with fruit.
Goering bit through the ampoule during dinner.
Executed after midnight in the gym of the Nuremberg prison. Woods built the gallows in just a day: just the day before, the soldiers were still playing basketball in the hall. The idea seemed to him a good one: three gallows, interchangeable ropes, body bags and, most importantly, hatches in the scaffolds under the feet of the guilty, into which they should immediately fall when hanging.
No more than three hours were allotted for the entire execution, including the last word and a conversation with the priest. Woods himself later proudly recalled that day: "Ten people in 103 minutes. It's a quick job."
But the minus (or plus?) was that Woods hastily calculated the size of the hatches, making them very small. Falling inside the gallows, the executed touched the edges of the hatch with his head and died, let's say, not immediately ...
Ribbentrop wheezed in the loop for 10 minutes, Jodl - 18, Keitel - 24.
After the execution, representatives of all the allied powers examined the corpses and signed the death certificates, and journalists photographed the bodies with and without clothes. Then the executed were loaded into spruce coffins, sealed and transported under heavy escort to the crematorium of Munich's Eastern Cemetery.
On the evening of October 18, the mixed ashes of the criminals were poured into the Isar Canal from the Marienklausen bridge.

The corpse of Heinrich Himmler. The Reichsführer SS committed suicide on May 23, 1945, while being detained in the city of Lüneburg, by taking potassium cyanide.
The corpses of the leader of the National Fascist Party Benito Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci, who shielded the Duce with herself during the execution on April 28, 1945 on the outskirts of the village of Mezzegra.
The dead bodies of Mussolini and Petacci, along with six bodies of other fascist hierarchs, were transported to Milan and hung by their feet from the ceilings of a gas station in Loreto Square.
Deputy Fuhrer for the party Rudolf Hess. The only one of the three defendants sentenced to life imprisonment, who served the entire term - 41 years. In August 1987, 93-year-old Hess was found hanging from an electric wire in the yard of the Spandau prison in Berlin.
P.S. Nuremberg executioner John C. Woods died on July 21, 1950. According to legend, from electric shock when testing an electric chair of his own design. In life, everything is more prosaic: he really died from an electric shock, but while repairing the wiring in his own house.
Usually, when they talk about the reasons for Adolf Hitler's coming to power, they recall his outstanding oratorical gift, charisma, political will and intuition, the difficult economic situation in Germany after the defeat in the First World War, the Germans' resentment for the shameful conditions of the Versailles Peace, but in reality this all are just secondary prerequisites that contributed to his coming to the top of the political Olympus.
Without regular serious funding for his movement, paying for a number of expensive events that made the German National Socialist Workers Party (in the German transcription NSDAP) popular, the Nazis would never have reached the heights of power, remaining common among dozens of such local movements. For those who have seriously researched and are researching the phenomenon of National Socialism and the Fuhrer, this is a fact.
The main sponsors of Hitler and his party were the financiers of Great Britain and the United States. From the very beginning, Hitler was a "project". The energetic Fuhrer was a tool for uniting Europe against the Soviet Union, other important tasks were also solved, for example, the ground tests of the "New World Order", which they planned to spread throughout the planet, passed. Sponsored by Hitler and the German financial and industrial circles associated with the global financial international. Among Hitler's sponsors was Fritz Thyssen (the eldest son of the industrialist August Thyssen), since 1923 he provided significant material support to the Nazis, in 1930 he publicly supported Hitler. In 1932, he was part of a group of financiers, industrialists and landowners who demanded that Reich President Paul von Hindenburg appoint Hitler Reich Chancellor. Thyssen was a supporter of the restoration of the estate state - in May 1933, with the support of Hitler, he established the Institute of Estates in Düsseldorf. Thyssen planned to bring the scientific base under the ideology of the estate state. Thyssen was a supporter of the war with the USSR, but he protested against the war with Western countries and opposed the persecution of Jews. As a result, a break in relations with Hitler followed. On September 2, 1939, Thyssen left with his wife, daughter and son-in-law for Switzerland. In 1940, in France, he wrote the book "I financed Hitler", after the occupation of the French state, he was arrested and ended up in a concentration camp, where he stayed until the end of the war.
Financial assistance to the Nazis was provided by the German industrialist and financial magnate Gustav Krupp. Among the bankers, money for Hitler was collected by the president of the Reichsbank and a confidant of Adolf Hitler in connection with his political and financial sponsors in Western countries ah Hjalmar Mines. This talented organizer since 1916 headed the private National Bank of Germany, then became its co-owner. From December 1923 - head of the Reichsbank (led until March 1930, and then in 1933-1939). He had close ties with the American corporation J.P. Morgan. It was he who, since 1933, carried out the economic mobilization of Germany, preparing it for war.
The reasons that forced the German financial and industrial elite to help Hitler and his party were very different. Some wanted to create a powerful strike force against the internal "communist threat" and the labor movement. They were also afraid of an external danger - the “Bolshevik threat”. Others played it safe in case Hitler came to power. Still others worked in the same group with the global financial international. And everyone benefited from military mobilization and war - orders poured in as if from a cornucopia.
After the defeat of the Third Reich in the war and until now in mass consciousness Jewish people are a victim of Nazism. Moreover, the tragedy of the Jews was turned into a kind of brand, cashing in on it, receiving financial and political dividends. Although much more Slavs died in this massacre - more than 30 million (including Poles, Serbs, etc.). In reality, Jews are different from Jews, some were destroyed, persecuted, while other Jews themselves financed Hitler. The "world community" prefers to remain silent about the contribution of influential Jews of that time to the formation of the Third Reich, the growth of Hitler's influence. And people who raise this issue are immediately accused of revisionism, fascism, anti-Semitism, and so on. Jews and Hitler is one of the most closed topics in the world media. Although it is no secret that the Fuhrer and the NSDAP were sponsored by such influential Jewish industrialists as Reinold Gesner and Fritz Mandel. Significant assistance to Hitler was provided by the famous banking dynasty of the Warburgs and personally by Max Warburg (director of the Hamburg bank M.M. Warburg & Co.).
Among other Jewish bankers who did not spare money for the NSDAP, it is necessary to single out the Berliners Oskar Wassermann (one of the leaders of Deutsche Bank) and Hans Privin. A number of researchers are sure that the Rothschilds participated in the financing of Nazism, they needed Hitler to implement the project of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. The persecution of Jews in Europe forced them to look for a new homeland, and the Zionists (supporters of the unification and revival of the Jewish people in their historical homeland) helped organize the creation of settlements in the Palestinian territories. In addition, the problem of the assimilation of Jews in Europe was solved, persecution forced them to remember their origin, unite, and Jewish self-consciousness was mobilized.
Interestingly, in fact, Hitler and his party were financed and paved the way for the Nazi seizure of power in Germany by the same forces that prepared the revolutions of 1905, 1917 in Russia, sponsored the Bolshevik, Socialist-Revolutionary, Menshevik parties, and carried out close work with all Russian revolutionary forces. This is the so-called "financial international", the owners of the banks of the United States, Britain, France and other Western countries, the American Federal Reserve System.
In addition, it should be noted that the top leadership of the Third Reich itself largely consisted of Jews or people with Jewish roots. These facts are stated in the work of Dietrich Bronder "Before the advent of Hitler", based on 288 sources (he was general secretary association of non-religious communities in Germany), Henek Kardel "Adolf Hitler - the founder of Israel" (during the war he was a lieutenant colonel and knight of the Iron Cross). A lot of facts about the Jews in the Third Reich can be found in the works of Willy Frischauer "Himmler", William Stevenson "The Brotherhood of Bormann", John Donovan "Eichmann", Charles Whiting "Canaris", etc. Adolf Hitler himself had Jewish roots, such famous Nazis , as Heydrich (after his father Süss), Frank, Rosenberg. The Jew was one of the authors of the plan "On the final decision Jewish question» Eichmann. The extermination of Poles and Jews on Polish territory was led by the Jew Hans Michael Frank, he was the Governor-General of Poland in 1939-1945. One of the most famous adventurers of the 20th century, Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln, an ardent supporter of Hitler and his ideas, was born into a family of Hungarian Jews.
was a Jew Chief Editor anti-Semitic and anti-communist newspaper Sturmovik, racist ideologue and ardent anti-Semite Julius Streicher (Abram Goldberg). He was executed in 1946 by the Nuremberg Tribunal for anti-Semitism and calls for genocide. Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and his wife Magda Berend-Fridlander had Semitic roots. Semitic origin was Rudolf Hess, Minister of Labor Robert Ley. It is believed that the chief of the Abwehr Kanaris came from Greek Jews.
Before the war, up to half a million Jews lived in Germany, up to 300,000 of them left freely. Those who did not leave partly suffered, but the Jews of Poland and the USSR suffered the greatest damage, they were significantly assimilated and they were “put under the knife” as having lost their Jewish identity. Many Jews fought in the Wehrmacht, so, only in Soviet captivity got about 10 thousand people.
Personally, thanks to Hitler, a category of more than 150 "honorary Aryans" appeared, which included mainly large Jewish industrialists. They carried out the personal instructions of the leader to sponsor certain political events. The Nazis divided the Jews into the rich and everyone else, there were benefits for the rich.
Thus, we see that many interesting pages were cut out of the history of the Second World War and its prehistory through the efforts of the Western media, official historians, and politicians. Jews financed the creation of the Third Reich, Hitler personally, were in the leadership of Germany, participated in the "solution" of the Jewish question, the destruction of their fellow tribesmen, fought in the German armed forces. And after the collapse of the Reich, the German people were charged with all the blame for the genocide of the Jewish people and forced to pay an indemnity. Until now, Germany and the Germans are considered the main culprits in inciting the Second World War, although the organizers of this massacre remained unpunished.
The USSR and its political leadership like to be accused of anti-Semitism, but Saiko in the book "Crossroads on the Road to Israel" and Weinstock in the work "Zionism Against Israel" provide very interesting data. Of the Jews who were persecuted by the Nazis and found refuge abroad between 1935 and 1943, 75% took refuge in the totalitarian Soviet Union. England sheltered about 2% (67 thousand people), the United States - less than 7% (about 182 thousand people), 8.5% of refugees left for Palestine.

The main secret of the past World War II: the link - the Jews and the Nazi regime. Jewry is divided into several large groups that are very much at odds with each other. I recommend reading very interesting information, which will add understanding to those who are interested in the real reasons for the events taking place ... This Jewish bastard ruined the best Germans and Slavs.

The past and the future are intertwined with a strong thread, but few people think about it in the present.
Every action, every choice made leads to certain consequences, and it is these actions that predetermine the subsequent course of events in life.
But many people make the same mistakes over and over again, not realizing that the past, present and future are connected, and only you can determine what exactly this connection will be.
Love, hope, courage. Death, life, birth. Future, present, past.
All this existed before us and will exist after.
Everything is interconnected.
150 thousand soldiers and officers of the army, air force and navy could be repatriated to Israel, according to the Law of Return. This suggests that in almost every Jewish family in Germany in the 40s, someone fought on the side of the Nazis.
It is well known that after the defeat of Nazi Germany, its main leaders either committed suicide, or were convicted during the Nuremberg Trials and executed, or sent to prison for many years. But many of those who took part in the committed crimes managed to hide in distant lands and avoid punishment for a long time. Some were never caught.
Let us recall the high-profile stories of those Nazis who nevertheless were overtaken by the punishing hand of justice - even after decades and on the other side of the Earth.
Jewish retribution
The most famous Nazi criminal caught after the end of the Nuremberg Tribunal, Adolf Eichmann is considered one of the main organizers of the Holocaust.
As a native of Germany, Eichmann, like Adolf Hitler, grew up in Austria and even attended the same school in the city of Linz as the Fuhrer for some time. Two years after joining the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), he was assigned to work in the newly formed "Jewish" department. Immediately after the outbreak of World War II, the policy of the Third Reich towards the Jews changed: from “voluntary” emigration (to which the people despised by Hitler were forced by all means) it was decided to move on to forced deportation. It was Eichmann who developed its various options, including the creation of a reservation for Jews in Madagascar (!). In 1941, a new directive appeared: the “Untermensch” was to be physically exterminated. This is what Eichmann did until the end of the war, organizing the process.
After the defeat of Germany, the Americans arrested him, but they did not have time to identify him: at first he presented false documents, and then he completely managed to escape. After that, under a new name, he rented a piece of land in a Saxon village, where he lived until 1950. In 1948, with the help of the Franciscan friar Edward Dömeter, who was part of the circle of Nazi-sympathetic Catholic clergy, Eichmann received documents in the name of Ricardo Clement and began to prepare the ground for moving to Argentina. Two years later, he managed to get a Red Cross humanitarian passport. With him, he reached the Italian Genoa, hiding along the way in the monasteries, and boarded a ship to Buenos Aires.
IN Latin America Eichmann did not show off, but this did not stop him from moving his wife and three children there from Europe. And soon the former Nazi was helped by the now democratic homeland: he got a job at the local branch of Mercedes-Benz, where he rose to the rank of head of the department. With the new funds, the family was able to build a house. And everything would be fine, but some people across the ocean really wanted to find Eichmann. And waited for their chance. In this they were helped by the vigilant resident of Argentina, Lothar Hermann, a half-German-half-Jew who emigrated from Germany in 1938. His daughter somehow started dating a young man named Klaus Eichmann, and the father suspected something was wrong, which he reported to the German prosecutor. And from that information got into the Israeli special service Mossad. Knowing that the Argentine government was in no hurry to extradite the former Nazis, the Israelis decided to take Eichmann out on their own. They successfully carried out this operation on May 11, 1960, grabbing their target right on the streets of Buenos Aires and injecting her with a tranquilizer, and then loading her onto a plane as a member of the official Israeli delegation, who became “bad”. In the Promised Land, he was interrogated for almost a year, preparing trial, which was decided to be as open as possible.
Both during the investigation and at the trial, Eichmann adhered to one line: he did not consider himself guilty, because he only followed the orders of “responsible leaders”, to which he did not belong. True, at one of the meetings, the Israeli prosecutor quoted to the Nazi his own words, which he said in 1945: “I will go to the grave with laughter, because the feeling that five million lives are on my conscience gives me great satisfaction.” Eichmann initially explained that he meant "enemies of the Reich", such as the Soviet Union, but later admitted that he was referring to the Jews.
Eichmann was sentenced to death penalty through hanging. He was executed on the night of June 1, 1962 at the age of 56. His last words were: “Long live Germany! Long live Argentina! Long live Austria! These are the three countries I was most connected with and I will never forget them. I greet my wife, family and friends. I'm ready. We will meet soon, because such is the fate of all people. I die with faith in God.”
Butcher from Lyon
The fate of this criminal strikes with its bizarre twists and just asks for the pages of an adventure novel. A man with a funny name Klaus Barbie was born in 1913 in Germany, in a family with French roots (ancestors' surname was Barbier). His father was drafted into the Kaiser's army, where he fought in World War I against the French, whom he apparently passed on to his son. Returning home after being wounded in the neck near Verdun and being held captive, Klaus Barbie Sr. drank heavily and often engaged in assault. His son also acquired a taste for violence well.
Barbie's party career was swift, and at the age of 29 he headed the Gestapo branch in occupied French Lyon. There, in the homeland of his ancestors, the young SS man showed himself to the full extent. At his headquarters, he personally engaged in the brutal torture of all suspected members of the Resistance, regardless of their gender and age. So, the daughter of one of the leaders of the local partisans claims that Barbie ordered to skin him alive, and then dip his head in a bucket of ammonia, which is why he died.
Historians claim that in total in France, Barbie was involved in the death of 14 thousand people, for which he received the nickname "The Butcher from Lyon." At the same time, the command greatly appreciated the effective employee, and in 1943 Hitler personally awarded him the Iron Cross, first class.
The end of the war suddenly opened up new career opportunities for Barbie. In 1947, after being imprisoned, he was recruited by the US Counterintelligence Corps to help the US in the fight against communism (and all other enemies along the way). Over the years, intelligence work in Europe became more and more difficult for him, because the French, who had sentenced him to death in absentia, began to demand that the Americans hand over the Butcher. They, however, refused, and in 1951 even helped him emigrate to Bolivia, using Catholic clergymen (already mentioned in the section on Eichmann) to cover up.
Barbie with friends in Bolivia
In South America, Barbie continued to work for the Americans, and in 1965 he was also recruited by West German intelligence. Many of his overseas activities are not well known, but he is believed to have helped the CIA capture the legendary Ernesto Che Guevara and helped grow the criminal empire of the equally legendary drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Pablo Escobar
In Bolivia, Barbie, known as Klaus Altmann, became his own man, rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the local army and was friends with two dictators, Hugo Banser and Luis Garcia Mesa. He, in fact, helped the second to come to power. At the same time, in Europe, the location of the Lyon executioner was revealed back in the early 1970s, but Bolivia ignored all French requests for extradition. And only in 1983 a new democratic government Barbie was arrested and sent to trial across the ocean.
In 1987, the hater of the French, who was already 73, was sentenced to life imprisonment. In court, he declared: “When I stand before the throne of the Lord, I will be acquitted.”
Four years later, Barbie died in the prison of the same Lyon, where he committed his main atrocities. He was simultaneously diagnosed with leukemia, cancer spinal cord and prostate cancer.
Executioners from Sobibor
Persecution for the destruction of people in Nazi concentration camps was subjected not only to top leaders, but also to direct executors on the ground. One of the most complex stories such was the fate of the administration of the Sobibor camp, which functioned on the territory of Poland from May 1942 to October 1943. During this time, at least 250 thousand representatives of this people died within its walls as part of the so-called “Operation Reinhard” to exterminate Polish Jews.
Franz Stangl
The first commandant of Sobibor was Franz Stangl, a native of Austria, who began his career in the police. At 32, he left the police bureau to work in the Reich's new project, the T-4 Killing Program. This initiative was aimed at clearing society of physically and mentally handicapped people through their "compulsory euthanasia".

Another similar poster. The inscription reads: “60,000 marks. So much is spent by society on the maintenance of this person with a hereditary defect for life. It's your money too, citizen."
It was with this program that the mechanism began to work, which was soon used as an instrument of the Holocaust.
Having received an appointment in Sobibor, in the three months of his leadership, Stangl passed about a hundred thousand Jews through the conveyor of death. After that, he received a new appointment - to lead a similar death camp in Treblinka, opened a little later and suffering from “poor organization”. There, the new commandant also set up the process in an exemplary manner. For the color of his uniform, he received the nickname “White Death” from the prisoners, although he himself distanced himself from the cruelties of the staff and did his job dispassionately. Later, Stanglt stated that he did not feel any hatred for the Jews and was indifferent to ideology, but simply realized his professional ambitions. He perceived the victims not as people, but as a “cargo” to be eliminated.
Gustav Wagner
His assistant in Sobibor was another Austrian, Gustav Wagner, nicknamed “The Beast” and “Wolf” for his cruelty, as well as the German Karl Frenzel, who replaced Wagner in his absence. According to another former camp worker, Erich Bauer, this trinity was worried about the “indicators” of the institution entrusted to them, sadly stating that Sobibor was losing to Belzec and Treblinka in terms of the number of Jews killed.

Postwar fate three comrades formed in a similar way. Stangl and Wagner, like many other Nazis, were also able to escape to South America- however, not to Argentina or Bolivia, but to Brazil. But in the "country of wild monkeys" their paths diverged.
Stangl, who got a job at the Volkswagen plant, did not even bother to change his name and was eventually arrested and extradited to Germany. This happened when the "White Death" was 59 years old. The court sentenced him to life imprisonment, and in June 1971 he died in prison of a heart attack.
Stangl giving an interview in prison
But Wagner, who changed his name to "Gunther Mendel", happily avoided extradition: the Brazilian authorities consistently refused to extradite him to Israel, Austria, Poland and Germany. Already in 1979, he freely gave an interview to the BBC, in which he said: “I did not experience any feelings ... It was just another job. In the evenings, we never talked about her, but just drank and played cards.”

True, a year later, the life of Mendel-Wagner still ended. He was found in Sao Paulo with a knife in his chest at the age of 69. According to his lawyer, he committed suicide.

As for Karl Frenzel, he did not escape from Germany anywhere, but worked as a lighting technician in Frankfurt until 1962, when he was accidentally recognized on the street during a lunch break. At the trial, he said that he regretted what happened in the concentration camps, but during the war he believed that it was legal and even necessary.
Karl Frenzel
The court sentenced Frenzel to life imprisonment, but after 16 years, for health reasons, he was released. He died in 1996 at the age of 85. In an interview, he said: “When my children and friends ask me if all this really happened, I tell them that yes, really. Then they say that this is impossible, to which I once again answer them that all this is true.
