These days pass the eighty anniversary of the victory of the Allied Camp in World War II over the so -called axis countries led by Nazi Germany, and it is the most bloody wars in human history.
The Nazi party leader, Adolf Hitler, had a limitless expansionist ambition, as he sought to turn Germany into a great empire and called it “the third Reich” inspired by the term Reich, which was called the Roman Empire, which lasted about 9 centuries (911-1806), but his state, which dreamed of more than 12 years, did not last.
The war ended in 1945, but its effects are still witnessing one of the most terrible crimes that humanity has known. From the camps for the nuclear bombing, the war left a legacy of pain and suffering that was not wiped out of memory.
With this report, we shed light on the human repercussions of the war, through the stories of the survivors and the numbers of victims, and how the six years formed the features of the modern world, with all the wounds they carry.
War in lines
Hitler began implementing his plans to achieve his expansionary ambitions on September 1, 1939, when German forces bombed and invaded Poland, after which France and Britain also entered the war against Germany to indulge Europe into hell.
All global forces were engaged at the time in the war, and the world was divided into two camps: the axis countries, which includes Germany, Italy and Japan, and the Allied camp and includes the United States alongside Britain, France, Russia, Australia, China and most European countries.
The axis countries achieved some victories in the beginning, and German forces took control of France, most of the Eastern European countries and parts of the Soviet Union. Japan achieved wide victories over China and took control of large areas of Asia and the Pacific.
However, at the end of 1942, the wins of the Allied countries began and the lands of Germany occupied by Germany, including France. In Eastern Europe, the Red Army achieved a historic victory in Stalingrad to be able to expel the Germans from the Soviet Union, then from Central Europe before it decided the Battle of Berlin in 1945, and on May 8, 1945, Germany surrendered without restriction or condition after Hitler’s suicide.
In Asia, the US military has regained the initiative since the summer of 1942, but it took another 3 years of fighting due to the ferocity of resistance to the Japanese who surrendered until after they were subjected to the only nuclear shelling in history, as the United States threw two nuclear bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945.
The human cost of the Second World War
Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, as the strategic bombing of residential centers killed millions of people, including the two atomic bombs that were thrown at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and tens of millions of people techniced because of massacres, hunger and diseases.
It is estimated from various sources that this war has killed between 50 and 85 million people, the majority of whom are civilians, in addition to this number, tens of millions of wounded and distorted.
The war witnessed serious human rights encroachments. In addition to the killing of millions of innocent civilians, the conflict defined the items of torture and executions, arrested tens of thousands of children and women, and committed collective gatherings against many peoples, and the Nazis also used thousands of people with their slaves.
At the end of the war, there was a tragedy of another kind related to tens of millions of homeless refugees, and some studies have estimated that World War II caused the displacement of about 200 million people in Europe and Asia, 100 million of them in China alone.
Ruffinsbrok camp .. collective murderer
In a report of the French channel “TV 5” entitled “Mothers of the camp on the anniversary of the children of Ruffinsbrok” the report called some survivors who were born inside the detention camp, which is 80 km north of Berlin, the largest Nazi detention camp for women and children.
German Angelor Broshno, who was born in April 1944, says that the camp had detained more than 130,000 women, about 30,000 of them died while they were detention due to killing, hunger or illness, and pregnant women were subjected to abortion with deadly injections, and whoever was able to hide her pregnancy kills her child as soon as he was discovered, and the newborn children kill suffocation, burning or dumping.
The Polish and Iria Beach, the mother of the child Mikolai, born on March 25, 1945, said, and she was among the largest caravan of pregnant women who arrived after the Warsaw uprising in August 1944. The vehicles, brick carrying, and sewing the uniform. “
The French soldier, Madeleine Alemer Rubin, recounts in her book “I have given life in the death camp” that she had a secret and with the help of her daughter’s female prisoners on March 21, 1945 in “a small, narrow room, which is a corridor, there is no water, no toilet, no electricity, nothing but a candle on the ground.”
French Marie Shombert says that starting in September 1944, many newborn children were collected in a room and their average age was about 3 months, and the mice bite the fingers of children confined to them alone, as most of them died due to hunger, diseases and cold, which reached 15 degrees below zero.
The report explains that few of the detainees’ women can breastfeed their children, and most of the time, either the child dies, the mother dies, or prevents reaching her child for breastfeeding.
Frenchman Jean -Claude Pasrat – who was born on November 13, 1944 – says that he survived the generosity of some female prisoners on the farm where his mother was working, where he was breastfed by a Roman and Russian woman, who just lost their two children.
The report quotes the witness, Mary Jose, that children quickly become like the elderly with a swishing skin, swollen stomach, triangular faces, and suffer from green diarrhea.
The beginning of 1945, the situation worsened, as the Ruffinsbruck camp was bombed with gas and the number of its victims reached about 6 thousand, after which thousands of women and children were sent to other camps.
Women were hiding children in their skirts while the bus climbed, as happened with Selfie Aalmer, and other children (as is the case of England Broshno) to walk with their mothers in the “March of Death” that spanned 60 km, as the Nazis forced their prisoners to walk when the Soviet soldiers approached them to transfer them to other camps in Germany and Austria.
The crimes of Americans are the greatest silent about him
In a report entitled “The Great in World War II”, French writer Isabel Murgeger reported that hundreds – if not thousands – of French women were raped by American soldiers in a crime that was silent about him, and reveals that the day of victory also has its dark side.
Isabelle explains that almost everyone knows that on June 6, 1944, 156,000 American, British and French soldiers landed on the French shores of Normandy to liberate France from the grip of Nazism, but what is not known to many is that after a few months, specifically in October 1944, the US military authorities ruled 152 soldiers for French rape.
The writer quotes the American historian and author of the book “Soldiers and Women” Mary Louise Roberts as saying that the declared number is much lower than the real number of American soldiers who committed the crimes of rape of French women as many women preferred silence, in addition to the shame associated with rape, the atmosphere was full of joy and celebration of the editors.
The American historian adds that, to motivate American soldiers to fight away from the homeland, “their promise their leaders in France, which is inhabited by plain women,” and thus the historian sees that sex has been used as a way to control France.
The report estimates that there are thousands of rapes committed by American soldiers between their introduction in June 1944 and their departure in April 1946, and was not reported.
The report states examples of the maintenance cases that were kept secret, quoting French citizen Amy Dupre (99 years old) that she had preferred silence for 80 years about the rape of her mother in 1944, but with the approaching celebrations of the alliance forces in France approaching, she no longer wanted to remain silent.
In her small village, Montor, Amy, who is 19 years old, was very happy, like all her neighbors, with the arrival of these “editors” who preached the end of the German occupation, but soon would be disappointed. On the evening of August 10, two American soldiers entered the family farm and “they were drunk and they needed a woman,” said Amy.
In a letter she brought out from an old cloth that her mother wrote to her so that she would not forget anything, she quoted her as saying, “The soldiers shot my husband, and the bullets penetrated his hat, then moved my threat towards you and went out to protect you, so the soldiers took me to the fields and raped me 4 times alternating.”
After 80 years, the girl says her voice was broken as she was reading her mother’s message, “Oh, mom, I have suffered, I am thinking about this every day as well,” adding, “My mother sacrificed herself to my protection, and while they were raping her, we waited until night, we do not know if she would return alive or will shoot her.”
In another case, Jane Tournellic, 95, remembers how a black American soldier raped her older sister (Catherine) after breaking the door of the house and killing her father who tried to intervene, and the soldier shot him.
After the incident, one of Catherine’s sisters ran to inform an American garrison stationed a few kilometers away, she told them that a German soldier did it, she was wrong. When they saw bullets the next day, they knew immediately that he was American.
The report says that Catherine retained the confidentiality of her rape, which poisoned her life until her death approached, when she confessed to this to one of her daughters (Jenin Placar), she told her while on her bed in the hospital, “She was raped during the war during the liberation” and her daughter asked her if she had happened to anyone, and she answered, “It was liberation, and everyone was happy, I was not saying anything like this To believe me.
He talks about a stereotypical racism practiced by the US military during the limited trials about the rape of French women, as the black -skinned of American soldiers was blamed.
The report quotes a book issued in 1976 by writer Louis Gilo, who was a translator of the American forces in France that “those who were sentenced to death were almost all of them black.”
Marie Louise Roberts confirms this proposal, as she considers that when the US military leadership realized that “the situation has become out of control”, she chose “to make black soldiers a scapegoat in order to convert rape into a” black crime “to maintain the reputation of the white Americans absolutely.”
Roberts demonstrated this with “amazing” statistics: during 1944 and 1945, among the 29 soldiers who were sentenced to death for rape, 25 of them were black soldiers, and indicated that “the army interpreted this with the fact that the lions were a potential rapist, and that they had a aggravating sexual orientation, a racist stereotype prevailing in the United States.”
The report indicates that the sensitivity of this information and after the publication of her book in 2013, Mary Louise Roberts was placed under the police control, which the historian himself explains as an attempt to continue to spread the “legend of the brave and honest American soldier who protects the woman whose country is proud of” even if that means continuing to lie, according to the American historian who believes that the wars that the United States fought after the Second World War implemented this, it was also Ethical, such as the Vietnam War and the Afghanistan war.
The Second World War, then, was the largest military conflict throughout the ages, whether in terms of the cruelty of the fighting, or the harmful consequences of the population and the devastating effects on the ground.
That war has led to the annihilation of empires and countries, and in return, the position of states and new world powers have resulted in the form of the world as we know today, with the imbalances and injustice it suffers from, so will he need to correct the imbalances and end the existing grievances to a third world war, or will God be to the world of adults who fortify him with justice after he was filled with injustice and injustice?
