Humanity is gradually beginning to forget about the horrors of World War II. He is already much quieter and more “tolerant” about events and does not talk about them as crimes. The names of heroes and criminals are forgotten. But this must be remembered! We need to know and respect those who stopped the madness of destruction. And don’t forget what would have been an alternative, what, for example, these “cute” girls carried.

There are known cases when Mandel personally took several prisoners under her protection for a while, and when she got bored with them, she put them on the list for destruction. Also, it was Mandel who came up with the idea and creation of a women’s camp orchestra, which greeted newly arrived prisoners at the gate with cheerful music.

Originally posted by stomaster at the USA as a refuge for Nazi criminals

The American intelligence service hid from international justice dozens of Nazi war criminals and their collaborators, according to a six-hundred-page report by the US Department of Justice, the contents of which were hidden for four years. Endangered in the end lawsuit The ministry released a edited version with the most sensitive parts removed. However full version the report was obtained by the newspaper The New York Times .

The most prominent war criminal with whom the CIA collaborated was Otto von Bolschwing, writes "Independent newspaper". This is an employee of Adolf Eichmann's department who was directly involved in the development of the plan to cleanse Germany of Jews. Washington provided assistance to von Bolschwing in obtaining asylum in 1954, and von Bolschwing began working for the CIA.

Nevertheless, the Department of Justice decided in 1981 to seek von Bolschwing's deportation from the United States. But he died that same year at the age of 72.

Among the fascists sheltered by the CIA were other notable figures of the Third Reich. For example, Arthur Rudolf, who ran the Mittelwerk ammunition factory. In this position, he organized the use of forced labor of workers and prisoners of war deported to Germany. The US authorities turned a blind eye to this blemish in Rudolph's biography and brought him to America. After all, Rudolf knew a lot about rocket production. NASA recognized his achievements with an award. He is called the father of the Saturn 5 rocket.

The CIA's cooperation with fascist veterans was known before - they were used as sources of intelligence information, as well as as scientists. But this report sheds light on the level of cooperation American intelligence agencies with the most hardened criminals. The report also found that Nazi criminals were allowed into the United States with knowledge of their past. " America, which prided itself on being a safe haven for the persecuted, has become, to a small extent, a safe haven for the persecutors as well. ", it says.

But he still questions the previously mentioned figure in 10 thousand fascist criminals V- Apparently, there were fewer of them in the USA. In addition, the Special Investigations Service identified more than 300 fascists who were not allowed into the United States or were stripped of their citizenship and deported.

The report was compiled by senior Justice Department lawyer Mark Richard, who persuaded Attorney General Janet Reno to begin work in 1999. He edited the final version in 2006 and called on the department's leadership to publish the report, but was refused. After suffering from cancer, he told family and friends that he would like to see the report published during his lifetime. Mark Richard died in June 2009. Speaking at his funeral, Attorney General Eric Holder said he spoke to Richard a week before his death and he was still trying to get the report made public.

And only after Richard's death, Washington lawyer David Sobel and public organization"Archive national security" filed a lawsuit demanding the release of the report under the Freedom of Information Act. The Justice Department initially tried to appeal the lawsuit, but eventually gave Sobel a copy of part of the report, but even there, more than 1,000 phrases and footnotes were excluded.

The Justice Department says the report, which took 10 years to prepare, was never officially completed and does not present official conclusions. The department also mentioned "numerous factual errors and omissions,” but did not indicate what exactly they were.

Having obtained full text and comparing with the trimmed one, the newspaper The New The York Times found that they tried to hide from the public a conflict with Switzerland over jewelry looted by the Nazis and unsuccessful attempts to obtain cooperation from the Latvian authorities.

The Justice Department's reluctance to release the report could cause political embarrassment for US President Barack Obama. After all, he undertook to make his administration the most open in the entire history of the country, and he entrusted the coordination of the work on declassifying government archives to the Ministry of Justice.

1. Ladislaus Chizhik-Chatari(Ladislaus Csizsik-Csatary), Hungary

During World War II, Cizik-Csatari acted as chief of police for the protection of the ghetto located in the city of Kassa (currently the city of Kosice in Slovakia).

According to documents held by the Wiesenthal Center, the man enjoyed beating women with a whip, forced prisoners to dig frozen ground with their bare hands, and was involved in other atrocities.

After the war, the court of the revived Czechoslovakia sentenced Cizik-Csatari to death, but the criminal moved to Canada under an assumed name, where he began to engage in the art trade.

In August 2001, he was stripped of his Canadian citizenship. In 2004, his citizenship was restored, but this decision was reversed in May 2007. In November 2009, the Federal Court of Appeal again restored Oberlander's citizenship, and in September 2012 this decision was again reversed.

Criminals who are presumed dead:

1. Alois Brunner(Alois Brunner), Syria

In February 2009, it was reported that he allegedly died in Cairo, Egypt in 1992, but there is no evidence of death. To this day, Heim has not been found and his death has not been confirmed.

The material was prepared based on information from RIA Novosti and open sources

The Holocaust, the murder of millions of innocent people and the thorough ethnic cleansing of Eastern Europe were just some of the policies of Nazi Germany before and during World War II.
The leader of the Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler, considered his main goal to expand the territory of the German Empire as much as possible, as well as remove all Jews and representatives of other “undesirable” nationalities from the territory of Europe. The names of most Nazi criminals, such as Hitler, Josef Mengele, Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Eichmann, Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Goering became known throughout the world, but a significant part of the equally, and sometimes more bloodthirsty followers of national fascist ideology remained in the shadows.
10. FRIEDRICH JECKELN – DEVELOPER OF THE “JECKELN SYSTEM” FOR THE LIQUIDATION OF “UNDESPENDABLES”

SS-Obergruppenführer (the second rank in the SS after Heinrich Himmler), Friedrich led one of the largest "Einsatzgruppen" - a "tactical group" or "deployment group", whose main task was massacres on the territory of the occupied Soviet Union. By personal order of Jeckeln, more than 100 thousand Jews, Slavs, Gypsies and representatives of other “undesirable” nationalities were brutally killed in the territories captured during the Second World War.
Having joined the Nazi Party in October 1929, within a year Jeckeln became a member of the SS, and three years later he was elected to the Reichstag, the German parliament. Remembered for his ruthlessness and cruelty, Jeckeln took a personal part in the liquidation of members of the left and other opposition parties.
Using his own method of mass murder, known as the “Jeckeln System”, in which people still alive were forced to undress and lie in freshly dug mass graves, Jeckeln carried out three of the most terrible Nazi executions of the Second World War: in Rumbala (November-December 1941, 25 thousand were executed . people), at Babi Yar (September 1941, more than 180 thousand people were executed) and in Kamenets-Podolsky (June 1941, about 24 thousand Jews were executed).
Behind mass execution In Rumbula, Jeckeln was awarded the Iron Cross. In April 1945 he was captured by Russian troops and in early 1946 he appeared before a Riga military court. At the trial, the killer was calm and admitted his guilt: “I must bear responsibility for everything that the SS, SD and Gestapo did in the eastern lands. My fate is in the hands of the court and I only ask you to take into account extenuating circumstances. “I consider my sentence fair and accept it in full repentance.”
Found guilty of war crimes, Jeckeln was hanged on Victory Square in Riga on February 3, 1946.
9. ELSA KOCH – “BUCHENWALD BITCH”


Elsa Koch, wife of the commandant of the Buchenwald and Majdanek concentration camps, Karl-Otto Koch, is recognized as one of the most cruel women the entire Nazi regime. Her bloody deeds earned her the nicknames "Bitch of Buchenwald", "Red Witch of Buchenwald", "Beast of Buchenwald", "Queen of Buchenwald", and "Butcher's Widow", but even these cannot convey her inhuman cruelty.
A member of the Nazi Party since the early 1930s, Koch met her husband through mutual friends and began her career as a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin. She came to Buchenwald after her husband was appointed camp commandant in 1937.
Koch treated prisoners in both camps horribly and is said to have enjoyed killing “undesirables” without the slightest remorse. She did not even hesitate to rip off areas of tattooed skin from prisoners, using them as lamp shades, book covers and pillowcases. On Elsa's orders, the camp guards raped, tortured and killed prisoners right in front of her eyes, which gave her undisguised pleasure and joy.
In August 1943, Elsa and Karl Koch were arrested by the Nazis themselves on charges of embezzlement and embezzlement, but just a year later Elsa was released. A year later, in June 1945, she was arrested by the US Army.
One of the first Nazis tried by the US military, Koch was tried in 1947 in Dachau and, despite being pregnant, was sentenced to life imprisonment "for violating the laws and customs of war." In 1948, General Latsis Clay commuted the sentence to 4 years, citing insufficient evidence, but Elsa was again arrested and retried. This time she was found guilty of multiple murders and sentenced to life imprisonment with deprivation of all civil rights.
Elsa Koch hanged herself in women's prison city ​​of Aichach in September 1967 and was buried in the city cemetery in an unmarked grave.
8. HERTHA BOTHE – “SADIST OF STUTTHOF”


Another equally brutal Nazi was Herta Bothe, a concentration camp guard who was nicknamed the “Sadist of Stutthof” because of her disgusting actions.
A member of the League of German Girls (the women's wing of the Nazi Party) since 1939, Bothe was called up to serve as a guard at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in September 1942 and was soon transferred to the Stutthof camp near Danzig. It didn't take long for Hertha to become famous thanks to severe beatings prisoners and the undisguised pleasure of watching the suffering of prisoners who were tortured and raped.
But her crimes were not limited to Stutthof. While escorting a group of female prisoners from central Poland to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Hertha beat a Jewish girl, Eva, to death with a wooden block and shot two other prisoners, although she never admitted to it.
Arrested in April 1945 by Allied forces during the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, Borte was brought before a military court, where she was found to be a "ruthless follower of the Nazi regime." Sentenced to ten years in prison, on December 22, 1951, she was pardoned by the British government, having served only 6 years. Hertha Bothe is still alive.
7. EUGENE FISCHER - CREATOR OF NAZI EUGENICS, GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND “BIOLOGY OF THE ARYAN RACE”


Some Nazi doctors, such as Joseph Mengele, were more famous than Eugen Fischer, but his work was the basis for many of Hitler's revolutionary ideas and policies.
Occupying the position of director of the Institute of Anthropology, Heredity and Eugenics named after. Kaiser Wilhelm from 1927 to 1942, Fischer created the theory of “racial biology”, justifying the superiority of the Aryan race over other races of “subhumans”.
And although he joined the Nazi Party only in 1940, before that Fischer carried out the illegal examination and sterilization of 600 children - descendants of French-African soldiers, and also wrote 2 scientific works early National Socialism: “Fundamentals of heredity and racial hygiene” and “Theory of human heredity and racial hygiene.” Fischer's works became scientific basis adoption of the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws, as well as a scale for determining racial purity.
His numerous experiments with gypsies, Jews and Germans of African descent, aimed at finding evidence of racist theories, made Fischer so famous among the Nazis that even Hitler himself mentioned his works in Mein Kampf. Another invention of this pseudo-doctor's feverish brain was the concentration camps, the first of which was built in 1904 in South Africa to isolate the "inferior" races.
Incredibly, after retiring in 1942, E. Fisher was not put on trial for war crimes and lived in peace until his death in 1967.
6. JOSEPH KRAMER AND IRMA GRESE – “THE BEAST OF BELZEN” AND “THE HYENA OF AUSCHWITZ”

The commandant of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Joseph Kramer, did not feel any pity for his prisoners at all, nor did his “comrade-in-arms” Irma Grese.
Nicknamed the "Beast of Belsen", Kramer worked at the Natzweiler-Struthof, Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz camps, killing tens of thousands of prisoners with brutal and uncompromising methods. Kramer began his “working” career in the Natzweiler-Struthof camp, the only one in modern France, where he personally gassed 80 Jewish men and women, and then preserved their skeletons for the Institute of Anatomy at the Imperial University of Strasbourg.
From May to December 1944, Kramer was in charge of the operation of the gas chambers at Auschwitz, happily killing thousands upon thousands of prisoners on an industrial scale previously unknown to mankind. After this, he was transferred to Bergen-Belsen, where he continued his brutal dictatorial rule until the liberation of the camp by the British, for whom he even gave something of a tour.
Irma Grese first worked in the Ravensbrück camp, then in Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz, and everywhere she was equally cruel. Known as the "Hyena of Auschwitz", she derived pleasure from observing the suffering of the sick and weak. Possessing extraordinary external characteristics, Irma had many lovers among SS workers, including Josef Mengele.
At trial, both sadists were found guilty of war crimes and hanged in December 1945 at Hamlin Prison. Moreover, at the time of her execution, Irma was only 22 years old, which made her the youngest criminal of the 20th century sentenced to death under English law.
5. REINHARD HEIDRICH - THE INSPIRER OF THE HOLOCAUST AND THE “FINAL SOLUTION”, CALLED “THE MAN WITH THE IRON HEART” BY HITLER


Despite his position as one of the most important Nazi leaders during World War II, Reinhard Heydrich's atrocities often remain in the shadows. If Adolf Hitler himself calls someone “a man with an iron heart,” then this is probably one of the most bloodthirsty Nazis.
SS General and Head of the Main Directorate of Reich Security (which included the Gestapo, criminal police and SD), Heydrich also oversaw the Czech regions of Bohemia and Moravia. One of the founders of the SD, Heydrich neutralized opponents of Nazism even before they came to power, and also participated in the preparation and conduct of Kristallnacht (mass pogroms of Jewish families in Germany and Austria in 1938).
During World War II, he was involved in the suppression of Czech cultural identity and the liquidation of pockets of resistance in Bohemia and Moravia, and also had a hand in the creation of the "Einsatzgruppen" - units systematically engaged in the liquidation local population and Jews. In addition, Heydrich personally presided over the 1942 conference in Wanza, where it was decided " final decision» about the deportation and extermination of all Jews in the territories occupied by the Germans, which became his main crime and led to the Holocaust.
In May 1942, Heydrich’s atrocities were put an end to by a group of Czech soldiers trained by the British and sent to eliminate him as part of special operation codenamed "anthropoid". Hitler long lamented the loss of one of his most devoted generals, who unquestioningly carried out all his extravagant wishes.
4. MARIA MANDEL – “THE BEAST” DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE MURDER OF MORE THAN HALF A MILLION WOMEN IN AUSCHWITZ


Maria Mandel is considered directly involved in the murder of more than 500 thousand women prisoners in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. It is not surprising that for her boundless cruelty she received the nickname “beast”.
Born in Austria-Hungary, Mandel became an employee of the Lichtenburg camp immediately after the Anschluss of Austria in 1938, after which, in May 1939, she was transferred to the Ravensbrück camp. Impressing her superiors, Maria quickly moved up the ranks and was soon put in charge of conducting roll calls and punishing offenders - beating and flogging prisoners gave her sadistic pleasure.
My notoriety Mandel acquired it after being transferred to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in October 1942. The female commandant could not surpass the men, but she had absolute control over the female part of the camp prisoners, thanks to which she became the manager of all female units of the Auschwitz camp, including Hindenburg, Rajsko and Lichteverden.
Mandel became famous for ordering the immediate death of any prisoner passing by if she dared to glance at her. Approving the lists of camp prisoners to be exterminated, she sent more than 500 thousand women and children to the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
Maria also chose so-called “pets” from among the Jews, forcing them to walk around the camp and carry out various tasks, after which she became tired of them and had to be destroyed. In an attempt to increase the efficiency of the extermination process, Mandel created the "Auschwitz Women's Orchestra" to play for the prisoners dancing on their way to the gas chambers.
In August 1945, M. Mandel was captured by the US Army and, despite requests for clemency, was hanged in January 1948 after her trial in Auschwitz.
3. FRIEDRICH WEGENER - A SCIENTIST WHO CONDUCTED EXPERIMENTS ON PRISONERS BUT WAS NEVER CONVICTED FOR HIS CRIMES


The pathologist who discovered the disease originally known as Wegener's granulomatosis, Friedrich Wegener was involved in horrific experiments on prisoners in concentration camps and Jewish ghettos, although he was never convicted of any crimes.
An ardent supporter of Nazism, engaged in propaganda with a party card in hand, and joining the National Socialists even earlier than Adolf Hitler, Wegener played an important role in shaping the views of the future leader of Germany.
Occupied high post in the German military medicine system, Friedrich Wegener served in medical institution near the Lodz ghetto in Poland, where he conducted his experiments on Jews. Wegener is accused of testing new drugs, introducing various substances into the bodies of victims, as well as performing autopsies on living people to study still functioning organs.
Wegener managed to maintain his Nazi past until his death in 1990 and even received an American Lung Institute award for the discovery of a new disease. However, less than a year after Wegener's death, information about connections with the Nazis and sadistic experiments was made public. The scientific community deprived him of all awards and titles, renamed the open disease and consigned Wegener to complete oblivion.
2. ODILO GLOBOCCHNIK - A MAN CALLED BY ONE HISTORIAN "THE MOST VILE GUY IN THE MOST VILEEST ORGANIZATION EVER KNOWN"


Described by historian Michael Allen as "the nastiest guy in the nastiest organization ever known," SS warlord and Austrian Nazi Globocnik committed a litany of war crimes during World War II.
One of the main organizers of Operation Reinhard, Globocnik took part in the murder of more than a million Polish Jews during the Holocaust, ensuring their identification and delivery to the Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor and Belzek concentration camps. He also took a direct part in the extermination of 500 thousand Jews in the largest Warsaw ghetto in Europe, and subsequently in the extermination of the inhabitants of the Bialystok ghetto who resisted the Nazi occupation.
An ardent supporter of the Nazi theory of racial superiority and ethnic cleansing in Eastern Europe, he created and oversaw the Lublin reservation, in whose labor camps about 95 thousand Jews worked. According to Globocnik, Jews in labor camps had to provide themselves with everything they needed or, in otherwise, die of hunger.
It is also believed that it was Globocnik who convinced Heinrich Himmler of the need to use scientifically based methods of exterminating people in concentration camps and received permission to test gas chambers in the Belzek camp, after which they began to be used in all “death camps.”
After fleeing to Austria in May 1945, Globocnik was captured by British soldiers, but in prison he bit through a cyanide capsule and avoided trial. The priest of the local church refused to desecrate the sacred ground of the church cemetery with the body of a Nazi criminal, and Globocnik was buried away from the cemetery.
1. OSCAR DIRLEWANGER – CHILD molester and necrophiliac, the most “vicious and bloodthirsty” of the Nazis


Oskar Dirlewanger is closely associated with the most terrible and inhumane crimes of the Second World War, most of which were committed by his subordinates - soldiers of the SS penal unit "Dirlewanger".
For raping two 13-year-old girls in the 1930s, Dirlewanger was sentenced to prison, but was later released after believing that the brave fighter in the Spanish Civil War could be useful to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in their military campaigns.
Participation in the First World War and Civil War in Spain they not only made Dirlewanger a first-class soldier, but also contributed to the formation of his sadistic inclinations, which were fully realized during the Second World War.
It was thanks to his military experience that Oscar quickly made a career in the SS and received command of his own penal unit, known for its brutal methods.
This SS commander recruited most of his soldiers from convicted criminals, concentration camp prisoners, and even from asylums for the mentally ill, whose bestial cruelty was experienced in the occupied territories of the USSR. They killed, tortured and raped adults and children, while their commander watched with pleasure. Dirlewanger even thought of feeding the prisoners rat poison to entertain his soldiers, allowing them to rape the agonizing women.
Timothy Synder, Chris Bishop, Richard Rhodes and other historians in their writings confirmed the inhuman anger and bestial cruelty of this Nazi, calling Dirlewanger the most cruel sadist of the SS and the entire Second World War, with whom no one can compete.
Captured by French troops in June 1945, Dirlewanger died in the Altshausen prison camp due to mistreatment and constant beatings. The death certificate of the sadist says that he died of natural causes, but many are sure that the SS man was simply beaten to death by Polish soldiers.

Second World War, undoubtedly became the most important and catastrophic event of all world history. The echoes of the most devastating conflict of all time can still be heard and will probably always be heard. It’s scary to remember those times when humanity lost its human appearance, and real monsters broke out.

Looking at the main antagonists of World War II who walked under Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany and their crimes, it seems that humanity has forever lost its humanity. Of course, the Nazis are not the only ones who distinguished themselves in the competition for the most sophisticated atrocity, but this TOP 10 is dedicated only to the fascists.

1. Friedrich Jeckeln.

A World War I veteran, Friedrich Jeckeln became the leader of the SS police in the occupied Soviet Union. He was also in charge of the Einsatzgruppen, which completed the final stage of the plan to cleanse the occupied territories of “racially inferior” ones. He had his own system for committing mass murders, from which even experienced executioners were shocked. He ordered trenches to be dug, where the future dead lay face down, most often on fresh corpses, and then they were shot. He is responsible for the murders of more than 100 thousand people. In 1946, he was hanged by the Red Army.

2. Ilse Koch.

Ilse Koch earned many nicknames during her meteoric career at the Buchenwald concentration camp. Beast, Bitch, She-Wolf of Buchenwald - all these nicknames belong to the wife of Karl Koch, the head of this concentration camp. Officially, she was a simple guard, but by abusing her husband's power, she eclipsed many Nazis in the matter of cruelty. Despite her happy childhood, she made souvenirs and jewelry from human skin. She especially liked the bindings made from tattooed leather. But this could not be proven in court. She beat, raped and tortured prisoners without any reason, and if someone looked askance in her direction, she executed the unfortunate person right on the spot. The SS themselves executed her husband for the murder of a local doctor who treated him for syphilis, and she was acquitted, but later the Americans arrested Ilsa. Already in prison she committed suicide.

3. Greta Bosel.

Nurse Practitioner before World War II, and then staff member In the concentration camps, Greta Boesel selected prisoners fit for hard work for the benefit of the Third Reich. She threw the sick, crippled and other “defective” into the gas chamber without remorse. The motto of her heart was the words: “If they cannot work, then the path will rot.” After the war, Bosel was accused of mass murder and sentenced to death.

4. Joseph Goebbels.

Meet the man who coined the phrase "total war" - Joseph Goebbels. He was the one responsible for everything government materials and information released to the general public. In other words, he was the Minister of Propaganda. Because of him, the German people turned into aggressive fascist bastards, thirsty for the blood of innocents. Even when the Germans began to lose all their positions at the front, he continued to firmly stand his ground, not allowing his faith in a just cause to succumb to doubt. Goebbels remained in Germany until the very end, until the Red Army found him in 1945. That day he shot and killed his six children, then killed his wife, and finally committed suicide.

5. Adolf Eichmann.

Using his knowledge of Hebrew and Jewish culture, this man became the architect of the Holocaust. He helped lure Jews into the ghetto by promising them " better life" His person was most responsible for the deportation of Jews within the Third Reich. When his mother-in-law gave the go-ahead to start, Eichmann took sole command of the distribution of Jews from the ghettos to concentration camps. After the war he managed to escape and hide in South America However, secret Israeli units tracked him down and executed him in Argentina in 1962.

6. Maria Mendel.

A native of Austria, Maria became the commandant of the concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau between 1942-1944. Known as “the monster,” Mendel became the grim reaper for more than half a million women. Her specialty was human pets, with whom she played for a short time until they died. The Third Reich awarded her a second class cross for her services to the Motherland. For her crimes against humanity, she was executed in 1948.

7. Joseph Mengele.

"Angel of Death" Josef Mengele is the embodiment of the devil on Earth. Being the head of one of the many concentration camps and a doctor by training, he did not spare the prisoners in his experiments. His favorite path was genetics and heredity. Mutilation, amputation, injections are a barbaric mockery of human nature. But his perverted fantasy did not stop there. One day Josef sewed his brother's twin eye onto the back of his head. He was one of the few who managed to escape at least some punishment for his crimes. In 1979, he died of a stroke.

8. Reinhard Heydrich.

"The Executioner from Prague" is one of the most cruel and scary Nazis throughout Nazi Germany. Even Hitler considered him a man with an “iron heart.” In addition to governing the Czech Republic, which became part of the Reich in 1939, he was actively involved in the suppression and persecution of political dissidents. He is responsible for organizing Kristallnacht, the Holocaust, and creating death squads. Even some SS men, from Berlin to the most remote occupied settlements, were afraid of him. In 1942, he was killed by Czech special forces. agents in Prague.

9. Heinrich Himmler.

Himmler was an agronomist by training. This “collective farmer” counts 14 million people, 6 of whom are Jews. He was one of the “architects of the Holocaust” and became famous for harsh repressions in the Czech Republic. He repeatedly held conferences on the topic: “The extermination of the Jewish people.” When Germany began to concede the war, he negotiated with the Allies in secret from Hitler. Having learned about this, the Fuhrer accused him of treason and ordered his execution, but the British caught the traitor first. In May 1945, he committed suicide in prison.

10. Adolf Hitler.

Elected in democratic Germany, Adolf became the embodiment of horror in just 50 years. There is a debate among historians about who is more worthy of the first place on this list: Adolf Hitler or Heinrich Himmler, but both sides agree that without Hitler the world would not have seen Himmler.

An artist by vocation, a veteran of the First World War, an unsurpassed speaker, he was able to convince the entire nation that the Jews were to blame for all their troubles, and that without war the Aryans would disappear. All of the above sins are attributed primarily to him: genocide, massacres, outbreak of war, persecution, etc. He is personally involved in the death of 3% of the human population of the planet.
