The Oubliette Of Dachau - The Torture Of The Standing Cells

Inside of the concentration camps, there were horrific elements of torture that aimed to break a prisoner physically and psychologically. During the Second World War, millions found themselves imprisoned within the Nazi camps, and the guards were known for the horrific brutality. However inside of Dachau, one of the earliest concentration camps, there was a horrific torture chamber that aimed to push a prisoner to their physical limits, and sometimes it forced prisoners to their deaths.
The Standing Cells forced a prisoner into a standing position, and they could not sit down or crouch down. They were forced into this one position and were held there for days and sometimes weeks on end. Imagine having to stand for up to 6 weeks, as some prisoners were stuck inside the standing cell for that long. Some prisoners were also not fed during their time there, which caused many to die a horrific and agonising death. The SS Guards also regularly beat the prisoners inside the cells, and this form of torture was inspired by Medieval history.
Inside Medieval Castle, often there was an oubliette dungeon found. This was a hole in the ground where a prisoner was simply left and forgotten, but they were often so cramped they were forced into the same position until they died. The Standing Cells used by the Nazis inside of the concentration camps were inspired by the Oubliette, and they were a sadistic form of torture inflicted onto the victims of one of the most evil regimes the world has even seen.

Stephen was a wonderful, kind and decent man. He abhorred cultural Darwinism. But like it or not, Darwinism DID lead to the Holocaust. I think Steve realized this, although he described himself as an atheist. I think that deep down inside, Steve realized that the "complexity" of development of new species REQUIRED intelligent design. He came up to that conclusion and proposed: "Punctuated equilibrium evolution" to try to deal with the multiplicity of newly designed organisms over the millennia. But he doubted it. He loved Bach. I think he was very well aware of God. But to discuss it openly would have crashed his career. Perhaps he was deeply conflicted. If so, he was not alone.

After visiting London about 30 years ago, I recall visiting The Tower Of London. At the very bottom of The Tower, there were the remains of what was called "A Dark And Close Place". It was a floor-placed cavity into which a prisoner would be inserted, which was then covered by a huge block (i.e., no possibility of escape, nor even any possibility of movement.) The DACP drained to the Thames, and so as the tide rose, rats would be forced into the drains - and would dine upon the unfortunate prisoner (who could not move.) Criminy - Avoid the Dark And Close Place!

@@pyellard3013 The road to power lies in the mastery of the will. Unlike the conflicts of the last century, this century is plagued by modern media, which has supplanted itself, as a shared objective reality in the minds of the populace. The will of the people have been subverted, and any attempt at logic and reason falls on deaf ears. COVID is being measured with a different metric than all other afflictions. It is being measured cumulatively rather than consecutively; therefore, the numbers keep increasing, when in fact they have been decreasing. 200,000 fewer deaths in the second year, and even fewer going into the third. It is not debatable, it is fundamental. The confidence of the people had nothing to do with the fall of communism. The Soviet Union fell because the U.S dollar is the world premiere reserve currency, which means that to conduct international business and trade (buy oil - hence the petro-dollar), all countries must have vast reserves of USD on hand, which enables the U.S the ability to print lots of currency (debt) to build up its military and export its inflation to every country hog-tied by the system of central banking in the world. That is why the Soviets went bankrupt. Thank you Saudi Arabia and OPEC. Every country, except 4, pays a hidden tax to the U.S which then transfer the real wealth (resources) to the central bankers through this scheme of inflation. President Woodrow Wilson made a deal with the devil on December 23, 1913. They now come to collect in 2033. Adolph Hitler was Time "Man of the Year" in 1938. How did he do it? How did he rebuild Germany after utter destruction in WW1 and crushing terms under the Treaty of Versailles, where Germany's war debts were 3 times her GDP? He printed his own currency. Now are you beginning to see what things are all about? It is all about the money and who gets to create it. Currency creation is the only game in town. It has been for the last 2000 years. And now beginning in 2028, the next and final depression, it will be concluded. People do not need confidence, people need knowledge.

I had the privilege a few years ago of meeting an old man who was a prisoner in Auschwitz where he was taken at the age of 14 with his parents and 9 year old brother. He survived but they perished. Amazingly, he bore no hatred because, as he said, "Hatred destroys you in the end. It serves no purpose." He told me his story calmly and in a matter-of-fact way and I tried to imagine if I could be so level-headed and sane after experiencing such horrors. I reflected afterwards how privileged I felt to have met this lovely human being and how lucky I was never to have endured what he had gone through. Hegel said, "We learn nothing from history other than that we learn nothing from history." True, but we must always be alert because history has an uncanny knack of reigniting its old nastinesses.

I seen a video that explained and showed pictures of the Germans getting thousands of Jewish prisoners in the middle of winter and marching them over a 1000 miles in order to evade American intervention. Most of these prisoners had no winter gear and some were barefoot. I wonder what happened to all these cruel bastards after the war. Did the have offspring and are these offspring haunted by thoughts of their own torturous fantasies. Pretty creepy. Kudos to James S. (comment below) for quoting: "There's a saying in Eastern Mysticism that states, ".... even Satan is astounded at what man does". I'm inclined to agree. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoXZfmWdiNKCpsk

@@rosemarydudley9954 Some were hung, some had crappy sentences and walked free a few years later and some were not even bothered with because of the time it would have taken. They should have locked them all away until their trials, even if it took 50 years. The Russians had the right idea for handing out justice to them.
