U.S ARMY ARRESTED FORMER JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER HIDEKI TOJO SO JE COULD BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES.

-


On September 11, 1945, the U.S. Army arrested former Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo so he could be tried for war crimes committed during World War II. 


When Army Intelligence Officers Maj. Paul Kraus and Lt. John J. Wilpers Jr. arrived to arrest him, Hideki Tojo attempted to take his own life.


 The Army officers rushed into his home and acted swiftly to ensure he did not die. Lt. Wilpers found Tojo's doctor, who lived nearby and ordered him to attempt to save Tojo's life.


Hideki Tojo did not die that day. American doctors quickly arrived, and he was rushed to an Army hospital. Tojo was tried and found guilty of war crimes three years later.


Lieutenant John J. Wilpers Jr. was finally awarded the Bronze Star Medal in 2010 for his role in the arrest of Hideki Tojo.

On September 8, 1943, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower publicly announced the surrender of Italy to the Allies.


With Mussolini deposed from power and the earlier collapse of the fascist government in July, Gen. Pietro Badoglio, the man who had assumed power in Mussolini’s stead by request of King Victor Emanuel, began negotiating with Gen. Eisenhower for weeks. 


Weeks later, Badoglio finally approved a conditional surrender, allowing the Allies to land in southern Italy and start beating the Germans back up the peninsula. Operation Avalanche, the Allied invasion of Italy, was given the go-ahead, and the next day, Allied troops would land in Salerno.


Once Mussolini began to falter, Hitler made plans to invade Italy to keep the Allies from gaining a foothold that would situate them within easy reach of the German-occupied Balkans. On Sept. 8, Hitler launched Operation Axis, the occupation of Italy. 


As German troops entered Rome, General Badoglio and the royal family fled Rome for southeastern Italy to set up a new antifascist government. Italian troops began surrendering to their former German allies; where they resisted, as had happened earlier in Greece, they were slaughtered (Germans murdered 1,646 Italian soldiers on the Greek island of Cephalonia, and the 5,000 that finally surrendered were shot).


One goal of Operation Axis was to keep Italian navy vessels out of the hands of the Allies. When the Italian battleship Roma headed for an Allied-controlled port in North Africa, it was sunk by German bombers.


 The Roma had the dubious honor of becoming the first ship ever sunk by a radio-controlled guided missile. More than 1,500 crewmen drowned. The Germans also moved Allied POWs to labor camps in Germany to prevent their escape. Many POWS did manage to escape before the German invasion, and several hundred volunteered to stay in Italy to fight alongside the Italian guerillas in the north.


The Italians may have surrendered, but their war was far from over.

The Execution of The Female Guard of Stutthof Concentration Camp ... Moment Never To Be Forgotten

-
Image
  Gerda Steinhoff, Jenny Wanda Barkmann, Wanda Klaff, Ewa Paradies and Elisabeth Becker were all brought to the gallows for their executions. Each one had been found guilty of crimes against humanity for their involvement in the evils of Stutthof.  They were all given the "short-drop" method of hanging which basically strangled the condemned for many minutes before they died.  Been better if the entire population of Germany (men, women, and children) were executed for being Nazis.   Their death could be done by slowly strangled to death, water boarded, impaled on a stake (Vlad Dracula preferred method), crucified, or skinned alive on live television so we hear all their screams and pleads of mercy as it took days to die.

It's the latest in a string of copycat attacks in China, including one a month ago when a half-naked woman was stamped on by a stiletto-wearing rival. Locals say such scraps go ignored because there is an acceptance that love cheats are deserving of a beating having caused a man to cheat on his partner. In this latest incident, accused Lin Yao Li, 38, was ambushed by four women as she walked home from shops in Puyang, in eastern China's Henan Province.
