massacre: 36 innocents killed over 1 drunk German, their families made to watch

The video of the Pancevo crime has been viewed worldwide as rare color footage and one of the most horrific records of German crimes. It is important not to forget, and not to let it repeat.

Most people in Serbia were preoccupied yesterday with the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the WW2 Jasenovac concentration camp (in Croatia), where several hundred thousand Serbs, Jews and Roma were killed and tortured in horrific ways.

The amount of viciousness demonstrated in that camp were children were burned in furnaces, is upheld by the opinion of several historians who believe that Jasenovac was even more brutal than Auschwitz. However, away from public's attention, two days ago was the 79th anniversary of a horrific crime in Pancevo, a town northeast of Belgrade, when 36 people were executed

The atrocity was preceded by a cover-up
According to some historians, the cause of this mindless crime was the death of a German soldier killed by another, drunk Wehrmacht member, as they were celebrating Adolf Hitler's birthday in Pancevo, on April 20, 1941. To cover up this crime, an attack was staged on a German patrol near the Old Orthodox Cemetery in Pancevo.

Ethnic Germans from Pancevo faked the attack on members of the German army from this Serb cemetery, wanting to portray this to the military authorities as an attack carried out by the Serbs, thus triggering a reaction by German occupiers against them. The German military responded with machine-gun and rifle fire, and those who fired from the cemetery, namely the Volksdeutschers (local Germans) - members of the Kulturbund - immediately left the scene. The following day, posters were put up around the town, issued by order of the commander of the settlement of Bandelovo, stating that for each German soldier killed, 10 Serbs would be hanged.

One of the motives for the crime was also the execution of nine local Germans from Pancevo by the Army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia on the eve of the arrival of German occupation troops to this town, during the withdrawal of the Yugoslav army. Those executed were organized members of a fifth column who had tried to disarm a group of Yugoslav soldiers retreating toward Belgrade.

The crime against 36 Pancevo residents was initiated by local Nazis, most notably Jakob Avender, one of the leaders of the Nazi movement among Germans from (Serbian province) Vojvodina. During his active political work that started in the mid-1930s, Pancevo became the most significant stronghold of the Nazi movement among Yugoslav Germans.

In this town, Nazified Volksdeutscher youth organized into the so-called "Revivalists" who took over the management of Kulturbund at the end of 1938. The local Nazis were publishing their newsletter in Pancevo and had a bookstore.

A "trial" that lasted two hours
About 100 people were arrested on April 21 and taken to a military court. There was no trial in the true sense of the word, there is no record from the hearings, and the defendants were not given the opportunity to present their defense. Moreover, no formal verdicts were issued at this "trial" - instead the chairperson orally communicated the verdict to the victims.

"Rope for you, bullet for you," he said.

The entire trial was conducted within two hours: 36 people were sentenced to death and four were released.

Execution of innocent Pancevo residents
Four people were shot dead on the same day, April 21. The next day, April 22, 18 people were hanged and 14 others were shot dead. The hanging was first carried out at the Old Orthodox Cemetery. The families of the victims were forced to come to the cemetery and watch the executions. In addition, a large number of local Germans watched the hangings and shootings, as seen in the video. which also showed local German civilians, some wearing Nazi insignia, taking closer looks at the corpses of victims.

The hangings were carried out by a local German tinsmith Herman Brum - who would die in Bosnia in 1943 fighting against Partisans as a member of the 7th SS Division "Prince Eugen". The executions carried out by firing squad were done by members of the Wehrmacht.

The victims who were hanged were: Milanovic Milan, Milivojevic Milutin, Cadik Jakov, Koces Franja, Caran Milorad, Azicki Pera, Mirjic Djordje, Zestic Vladimir, Maksin Jovan, Topolovacki Aleksandar, Skovran Mirko, Ristic Ljubomir, Jeftic Milenko, Adamovic Jovan, Stojkov Dusan, Radak Kosta, Taja Cosic, Darinka Siskulovic (all from Pancevo, except Milivojevic, who was from Omoljica near Pancevo).

The victims shot to death were: Tihomir Humanovic, Ivan Grobanovic, Gojko Tesanovic, Sava Pantelic, Dusan Hadzic, Grujuc Djura, Haker Sandor, Markov Toma, Steva Peric, Crni Djura, Novak Marijan, Dragutin Milenkovic, Tihomir Nedovic, Tragomir Atanackovic, Radivoj Atanackovic, Avramov Vasa, Pinter Stevan (all from Pancevo).

All the victims, both those hanged and those shot dead, were left at the execution site for 24 hours, after which they were buried by their families. Four victims had been shot and killed the day before.

"Murders carried out with pleasure"
Gerhard Gronefeld, a German military photographer, captured the execution of the Serbs.

The hangings were voluntarily done by a Volksdeutscher, a butcher's assistant, who "carried out this horrific job with great brutality and obvious pleasure," as Gronefeld wrote.

Take a look at the video that has been seen around the world as one of the rarest and cruelest depictions of German crimes:

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he quoted w

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women. Women in concentration camps were subjected to brutal treatment and often faced more severe conditions than their male counterparts. The conditions in the camps were inhumane, and women were often subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. Women were treated differently in concentration camps than men. They were often separated from their families, forced to perform hard labor, and subjected to sexual abuse. Women who were pregnant were also subjected to harsh conditions and medical experimentation. Many women were killed, either as part of the genocide or because they were deemed too weak to continue working. One of the most notorious concentration camps where women were held was Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, women were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experimentation. Many were killed in gas chambers or through other forms of execution. The camp was designe

There is a Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War. After entering a large museum in one of the world’s most ancient cities and the former capital of the Chinese empire, Nanking—or Nanjing as it’s known today—my 18-year-old daughter Sophia and I walked over a glass walkway that allowed us to look down 10 feet of earth and observe an ancient footpath. Lights highlighted the ground under the glass while the room we were in was dark. To our right hung numerous photographs on a black wall showing Japanese soldiers slaughtering Chinese citizens in December 1937 revealed by individual lights, the types one sees on art museum paintings. Dead babies, severed heads, piles of bodies on Yangtze River banks, and helpless prisoners of war were all documented there by photographs taken by the perpetrators themselves, I

Jong Sang Thaek’s brutal execution: Stripped naked and eaten alive by Dogs North Korea, Jan 03: Unlike previous executions of political prisoners, the execution of Jang Song Thaek on December 12 was reportedly one of the most brutal ones ever conducted by the North Korean regime.

Agabbadòra Hammer

Agabbadòra Hammer “In Sardinia, the use of the "femina agabbadòra hammer" was a women's practice. Whenever an elderly man or woman of a given family was dying and in great pain, the family would call for the Accabadòra or Lady of the Good Death. She would usually be a widow dressed entirely in black, who likely inherited her role from her own mother or grandmother. The title Accabadora means "She is the One Who Ends." She arrives with a large hammer of carved olive wood wrapped in heavy wool, and is left alone with the individual who may yet be screaming in agony and terror. A witness testimonial of the practice translates: "It was dark. The room was illuminated by a single wick in mastic oil. The Accabadòra entered the house -- the door had been left open for her. She passed no one as she enters her patient's room at at the bedside. "She caressed the face of the dying person, chanted the rosary, sang one of the many lullabies usually sung to chil

King Edward VII Love Chair

King Edward VII (nicknamed Bertie), had a custom made ‘siege d’amour’ (or love chair), kept at the famous Le Chabanais brothel in Paris. It was built to allow him to have sex with two or more people all at the same time. The chair was the ultimate symbol of Bertie’s voracious sexual appetite, which became a constant headache for the royal family, especially his mother, who believed him utterly untrustworthy and severely limited his Royal responsibilities as a result. However, the more Queen Victoria disapproved, the more extravagant Bertie became in his pursuits of pleasure, the chair being the ultimate testament to his rebellious and irresponsible behaviour. The press gave him the name ‘Dirty Bertie’. It was said that his father had a word with him about his dalliances and then died shortly after their chat. Queen Victoria blamed his death on the stress brought about by “that dreadful business”, or at least a big contributing factor of it. She then arranged his marriage to Princes
