Executions → Nazis at work - hanged woman (U.S.S.R.; 1942) (Set 2)
This a pathetic photo image of the woman who was just hanged by Nazi.
This is a tribute to the amazing courage of so many women during World War II who were put to death for plotting and fighting against the Nazis, as resistance fighters, partisans and activists in towns and concentration camps. It is estimated that more than 4,000 women of various ages were hanged by Nazi forces between 1939 and 1945. A gallows was used when the Nazis wanted to make a particular example of the prisoner and these were usually crude and simple structures that did not have a trapdoor or drop. Prisoners were never hooded and rarely blindfolded. Their hands were normally tied behind their backs with cord but their legs usually left free. They were given little or no drop, partially to prolong the pleasure of the soldiers and because their cruel and slow deaths would act as a stronger deterrent to the local people who were often made to witness the event. Typically a thin rope was used, fashioned into a simple slip knot. It was not unusual for prisoners to kick and struggle after suspension and to lose control of their bladders and bowels. The bodies could be left hanging for several days as a grim reminder to others. In cold weather, they were sometimes left hanging for a week while in summer they would be taken down sooner, perhaps two to three hours after the hanging.

| I'm shocked that the German army in this picture took the trouble to dress in our glorious Russian uniforms to hang this woman. They didn't even iron the creases properly, but then again we don't issue irons to our men and especially not to the women! |

| I feel so Angry. Its burning a flame like a billions of suns. This world has more or less been insane through the years. And today it seems to get worse. They act like animals that hounting for food. They are not like what hummanity is about. They arent creative when they kill. You can see this in words: You cant (directly) find wisdom in physical fighting that is worth enough to understand how to prevent the cause of this situation, that must be understood to prevent it from happening again. When you use your speech instead, it can heighten the experience to prevent the cause of a problem. This is because of the openness that leads to better understanding of a current situation. If you fight against your own understanding, then you have lost in a further sense. |

| Nazi troops marvel at floating communist, 1944. Attempts to recreate this surprising phenomenon with other reds frequently resulted in slapstick misunderstandings and Charon Boat photo sets. |
