BESTIAL Crimes of Egon Zill - Sadistic NAZI Commandant of Natzweiler Struthof & Flossenbürg - WW2

Bestial Crimes of Egon Zill - Sadistic Nazi Commandant of Natzweiler Struthof & Flossenbürg - WW2. Egon Zill was born on the 28th of March 1906 in Plauen, then part of the German Empire.
After World War I ended, Germany experienced great political turmoil. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany, which had lost the war. In addition, the country saw the overthrow of its monarchy. In its place was the new Weimar Republic, a democratic government. Racist and antisemitic groups sprang up on the radical right and they blamed Jews for Germany’s defeat in the war. These groups opposed the Weimar Republic and the Treaty of Versailles. They were against democracy, human rights, capitalism, socialism, and communism. They advocated to exclude from German life anyone who did not belong to the German race.
The Nazi Party, founded in 1920, sought to woo German workers away from socialism and communism and commit them to antisemitic and anti-Marxist ideology.
On the 30th of January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by the German President Paul von Hindenburg. Immediately after Hitler came into power, Germany became a dictatorship, and the Nazi regime quickly began to restrict the civil and human rights of the Jews and established the first concentration camps, imprisoning its political opponents, homosexuals, Jehovah’s witnesses, and others classified as “dangerous”.
One such camp was Hohnstein.
In 1934 Egon Zill got married. His wife had been a member of various National Socialist organizations since the mid-1920s and the marriage produced three children.
From the 12th of October 1934, Zill headed the guards at the Lichtenburg concentration camp.
From the 1st of February 1938, Egon Zill became the commander's adjutant in the Lichtenburg, which by then had become a women's concentration camp. One of the camps female guards was Maria Mandl whose specialty at Lichtenburg was to strip the prisoners naked, tie them to wooden posts and beat them mercilessly until she could no longer lift her arm.
On the 15th of May 1939, Egon Zill was sent with the other Lichtenburg guards to the newly opened Ravensbrück concentration camp.
Ravensbrück, opened in May 1939, was the only major women's camp established by the Nazis. In total, some 132,000 women from all over Europe passed through the camp, including Poles, Russians, Jews, Gypsies, and others. Of that number, over 92,000 women perished.
At Ravensbrück Egon Zill held a position of commander's adjutant. However, he was also a sexual deviant. Despite having his own wife, Zill was known for sexually harassing and brutally abusing the female prisoners. Once he even contracted a venereal disease.
Zill, who due to his short stature was given the nickname "Little Zill", remained in Ravensbrück until December 1939.
He gradually climbed up the camp hierarchy, owing these promotions to the cruelty and sadism with which he treated the prisoners. His behavior in each subsequent camp was more and more brutal. Not only did he order many crimes to be committed, he often carried them out himself.
The second world war began on the 1st of September, 1939 with the invasion of Poland.
On the 1st of December 1939, Zill was deployed in Dachau concentration camp holding a position of Protective custody camp leader. Protective custody camp section oversaw the prisoner’s complex and was ruled by the infamous SS Death’s Head Units.
Having received his Death’s Head unit training in Dachau, Zill was familiar with all the terrors the camp had to offer its inmates.
In December 1941 Zill succeeded Hermann Pister as commander of the Hinzert concentration camp which remained mainly autonomous until the 21st of November 1944, when it was administratively linked to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Between 1939 and 1945, 13,600 political prisoners between the ages of 13 and 80 were imprisoned at Hinzert.
In April 1942 Zill became the commandant of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp which was the only concentration camp established by the Germans in the territory of pre-war France, about 31 miles southwest of Strasbourg
In mid-September 1942 Egon Zill became a commandant of the Flossenbürg concentration camp. Flossenbürg’s original purpose was to exploit the forced labor of prisoners for the production of granite for Nazi construction projects.

Well done History Channel by bringing these criminals into the bright light and exposing these monsters. I’m not Jewish but I did work on a kibbutz in Israel to learn more about these people who suffered so much prejudice. I was impressed by their ingenuity and resilience against overwhelming odds from the surrounding Arab armies. I don’t support the continued building in the occupied territories but then many of the Israelis also think the government too nationalist. The division between Ashkanasi and Sephardic peoples are the historical roots between Mediterranean and Eastern European Judaism. The latter having control of education and government and the former having to occupy the army and labour. The Ashkenasi are the minority but are more powerful as the moral engine of Judaism and are aided by the West especially the conservative religious right wing of America who base their support on Biblical grounds. It is useful for the West to have eyes and ears in the Middle East and often share intelligence to counteract terrorist activity. Collectively they are responsible for the demise of the Soviet Union who could no longer afford to justify its regime, much to the relief of the international community.

This planet belongs to people who with every essence of their being, would live up to the image of God, and love him and all humans with a whole heart (Genesis 1:27 - Matthew 22:37-39), and that will soon be possible thanks to the ransom sacrifice given through Jesus Christ. Also, remember that there are truly dark forces in this world that are far worse than any imperfect humans, and that is the devil which is the ruler of this world (1.

He was the worst of the worst! Evil man, it was difficult to process his level of sadism ... always when you think that nothing worse can come, they surprise u! Thanks for your nice words, glad to have you here! :)

[@DeepTexas]

@@WorldHistoryVideos There are many reasons I enjoy your work! First, I would’ve never known about this disgusting Nazi troll little Egon. Hopefully, he’s spending eternity having his genitalia mauled. WHC shines bright light into dark corners, where Nazi insects have been able to hide in history’s fading memories. The information quality is post graduate-level, while the production blows away every other channel out there; the footage is almost all unseen to me before, and it’s rare that I don’t recognize footage. Also, I sincerely hope your fans take the time to watch at least a second time to pause and read the captions on these exhibits. If only to contemplate the beautiful face of a victim, or the surly humiliation of a Michael Spiegel’s humanity. These names, these faces… because of you, they stand defiant in their silent testimony.

[@WorldHistoryVideos]

@@DeepTexas thank you very much! We were wondering during the last few weeks - do people see how much time we spend on the footage, pictures, captions? You have responded this, thank you. Coz many channels don't really care about this at all which makes the editing 10 times easier but the result is, we would say, not so good! Thank you for your kind words, devotion and support, we really appreciate it. Greetings

15 years in prison. All the people he hurt and only 15 years. They might as well have just let him get off scot free. Disgusting.

Now you understand the importance and raw depravity of mind manipulation over the masses.. it's much more efficient effective and sinister at the present moment seems the cycle continues when we do not learn from the tragedy and strife.. it's almost a cognitive dissonance issue being exploited in the grand human experiment... We need to wake up ang grab some coffee as a species the sooner we realize this the better the human race will be.. we must work on our consciousness and spiritually clear all the distortion that we are bombarded with on a daily basis quite deliberately by those that choose to bestow our race a scarlet letter.. there is and will only ever be one king... You will know him when you see him.. keep your eyes and mind open so you can see and feel the fallen imposters... Never forget... Never again ..

Well Documented young lady. a great presentation on behalf of the ones who could not speak for themselves in those camps of Evil!.

[@Ani46137]

As someone who lives in Israel, even here as a special remembered day with traditions for the day that everybody follows, we don’t learn that much about the camps, the most we were taught was how they would burn the Jews after killing them with gas, and this video taught me a lot more than what the teachers here do, which is very sad

[@stevekern7235]

The Zionists knew what was happening in the camps but marked it down as "breaking eggs to make an omelet". The goal of the Zionists was the creation of the nation-state of Israel. That was manifested through the horrible deaths of many people. Zionism is a bloody and ruthless ideology.

15 years is Unconscionable for the horror and torture he put people through. On a lighter side, if that’s possible, I noticed on one of the group pictures that in the background there is a man looking out of a window - the equivalent of today’s photobomb 🙂

[@MrSmiley1964]

It is unbelievable how easy he got off. IDK, but for some reason, the image of starving, freezing men placing granite stones in a pit and covering them up. Only to dig up those same stones and put them in a freshly dug pit, angered me like few things I've seen while watching your videos. And believe me, many of the facts I've learned watching these videos have pissed me the F. off. I can only hope that those he tortured and murdered in Dachau did the same to him in his final days. But I doubt it, such men don't have the psychological make up for that kind of empathy.

[@hannahp1108]

That work was part of what was called the "Dachau model" for concentration camps. It was meant to be back-breaking, repetitive, and brutal work, but also completely pointless, to break both the mind and the body. That's what they did before they started exploiting the inmates for actual useful labor, before the war

[@coopsawright7225]

@@hannahp1108 The fact that they wasted so much useful labor for the sake of evil brutality may have in fact lost them the war if you take away the stupid invasion of Russia when they did.

[@annfrank411]

During WW2 my great grandmother together with my grandmother were hiding a Jewish man under a concrete septic tank for over a year at that time if someone was hiding a one Jew 50 poles would be killed the man survived in hiding and escaped to USA. But someone else did the same and Nazi soldiers raided the village killing many including my new born uncle they took him out and thrown him alive in to the flames holding his parents to watch how he burns alive in a burning pit. That night went by from then on as bloody Christmas Eve. It shows you how cruel they were but as well how much people have risked for trying to help others. Can’t imagine pain of that boy nor his parents to watch how your child is burning alive and you can’t do anything pure cruelty and no excuse.

[@19801981ification]

Life is a circle and to an extent a cycle of ascension that circle can be a long long orbit or it can progress or it can be comparatively shorter that depends on your willingness to learn life's lessons and laws that pertain to it. Or create spiritual drag and push back against the light and there by create more darkness for ones soul to try to digest.. the thin line between good and evil runs straight down the middle of every human heart... The choice is yours no one may follow that path is meant for your steps alone..

I have to discuss this having watched your videos. First, how would some ordinary seeming people turn into brutal sadists. Not all of the guards were born with ‘sadistic guard’ tattooed on their arm. Would you ever bring up the Stanford Prison experiment in one of of your videos? It would be an interesting tie in that could explain why there was such horrid treatment of normal people.

[@stevekern7235]

Some may seem normal, but have deep demons psychologically. One cannot behave in a monstrous manner in normal Soicety, but in extreme conditions where brutality is encouraged, these people`s true colors can show.

[@DiD86]

I remember when I was with my grandma at a local vet getting her cat vaccinated years ago. There was a elderly jewish lady that was waiting with us in the lobby getting her pet looked at. A young dude came in with a german shepherd and the dog was friendly but the elderly lady was like really scared like petrified by the dog. As a child I didn't exactly understand what was happening to her but my grandma explained later that german shepherds were used to torture Jewish people during ww2. I don't know why but that experience has stuck with me since back then. I feel so sorry for that lady and to think that an animal would've been exploited to torture people just sickens me.
