The UNSPEAKABLE ENTERTAINMENT of the brutal SS Death Head wardens | Concentration camps
myth making is intrinsic to any war and these myths typically last the longest for instance the belief in the exceptional effectiveness of the SS divisions supposedly in the toughest situation they were the ones who rescued all the others this myth was fabricated by the SS and the propaganda efforts of Gobles it is true that SS divisions were quite motivated and even fanatical however this does not replace tactical and Technical combat skills that is the ability to fight in fact it was the SS division that suffered the most significant losses
often due to the fact that they were inferior to weach units in military training by the middle of World War II the training level of weach soldiers and officers had declined whereas the training of assess units had somewhat improved on average the SS fought not better than the wormar except that towards the end of the war they resisted most stubbornly and did not want to surrender which is understandable since they had committed so many bloody atrocities let’s analyze using the example of the third motorized and later
tank division of the SS with double and even triple designation Waffen and VT but more often it was called duting hop or death’s head death’s head in this video we are more interested in not the military component of the death head tank division but the flip side of this n formation the fact is that most of the guards and officers of the concentration camps were also listed in the assess division dead head hence another myth arises that the Waffen assess division was formed from concentration camp guards actually it was the other way
around Waffen divisions were formed from the so-called security detachments Storm Troopers and fighters of the asss order only a small part of whom could be involved in the service at the daaka or mat housing concentration camps but after being wounded in battles The Unlucky soldiers could very well end up in a concentration Camp as guards or wardens in turn guards who were found guilty of some misconduct could be sent to the front in a word rotation with SS units was frequent in followed specific roles Wen SS Personnel was involved in
Frontline operations ssvt units focused on combating partisans and Performing rear guard duties and assess starting cup units were responsible for guarding and Performing police functions in concentration camps an SS officer might have fought on the front line then fought with partisans behind the lines and later after being wounded and hospitalized ended up as a guard in a concentration camp meanwhile numerous dting cop SS members never experienced combat at the front lines concentration camps all of this stemmed from their leader theore Ike the
organizer of the tting cup division ik played a key role in the establishment of concentration camps commanded the daa concentration camp and continued to serve as an expector of concentration camp until his death in 1943 its common name the division received from the symbol carried by assess Storm Troopers a skull with bones the main thing that Ike managed to achieve was streamlining the Personnel Service in the camps straight discipline and Reporting especially economic each concentration camp according to the inspector should
generate income while still commant of daau theer Ike established degrading and inhumane conditions for prisoners torture and beatings were considered routine and normal daily events Ike had no tolerance for the lenient guards and concentration camp employers who according to the commandant sniveled and slobbered meaning those who showed any degree of humanity toward the prisoners and swiftly dismissed them later already being a camp inspector and at the same time the commander of the division he sent soft from A’s point of view guards
to the death’s head division to the front daa became a model in the organization of the entire reich’s Camp system Ike trained a whole cohort of Camp commanders and the commandants Adolf ikeman Rudolph HZ Carl AO Co and many of his other students it was Ike who came up with idea of enlisting Camp inmates willing to be ruthless to their former comrades to assist the German guards entertainment dead head units provided security and carried out police functions in most large and medium siiz SI Nazi concentration camps as their
