>Although the Second World War is a well‐known historical period, anthropological recoveries, especially of enlisted soldiers, are rare for the period. […] According to the biological profile of the soldiers recovered, a wide range of ages was represented (18–50 years old). This air force population contained young German boys, who were enrolled just before the beginning of the war (from the outskirts of Berlin, for example) (Adams, 1944) and military personnel who had several years of experience with the Luftwaffe (notably when engaged during the Spanish [Civil] War). > >The young aviators were recruited from the age of 18, and training lasted a few months for bombers (Adams, 1944). The [Reich’s] air force was very selective. In 1939, the Luftwaffe was composed of young soldiers (half of the enlisted records) and supervised by former pilots from the First World War or by men who had moved from the Reichswehr to the air ministry in 1933 (Razoux, 2019). > >This age distribution is consistent with the cohort of soldiers exhumed. All ages are represented without a predominance of young soldiers, which will be more important at the end of the war. They also had a minimal height requirement to be a pilot of at least 160 cm, and being between 170 and 185 cm was preferred (Moulin, 2009). The estimated stature of individuals was ranged from 157 to 179 cm. The estimate is proposed with a standard deviation, which explains the somewhat low range compared with the minimum size requirements. > >However, we are still within the standards. All individuals were required to be within the specified heights to be recruited. The biological profile corresponds to the known recruitment for the Luftwaffe at the beginning of the war. > >[…] > >Historical documentation, archaeological evidence, and anthropological analysis all strongly suggest that the 10 individuals buried with military equipment are soldiers who died as a direct result of combat and airplane crashes. For the individuals buried without military equipment and with a craniotomy, this indicated that the individuals died at the military hospital near the airfield and were afterward buried in the temporary cemetery. > >However, the cause of death was difficult to determine because they did not have lethal bone injuries. The practice of craniotomy was already observed in the German army during the First World War, but it was not associated with a specific cause of death (Jankauskas et al., 2014).

1882: Axis commanding officer turned Allied traitor, Petre Dumitrescu, was born. He captured 15,565 Soviet prisoners of war at the cost of 10,541 casualties, but when Bucharest surrendered to the Allies in 1944 he helped capture of 6,000 Wehrmacht members. Make of that what you will. 1895: Hermann Florstedt, Axis concentration camp commandant, rudely imposed his presence on the earth. 1913: Erich Mußfeldt, another Axis criminal, stained humanity. Artur Axmann, leader of the HJ, joined him. 1932: The Imperialists established the collaborationist State of Manchuria in northeastern China. 1937: The Fascists ordered the constructions of Ermland and Franken as Tōkyō named Jisaburo Ozawa the chief of staff of the Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. 1938: The Imperial Japanese Army and Navy aircraft began a six‐month‐long aerial bombardment campaign against the Chinese temporary capital city of Chongqing. The Imperialists also renamed the Nanjing Safety Zone International Committee the Nanjing International Rescue Committee. 1940: Wehrmacht General Franz Halder, reluctantly, as ordered by Berlin, incorporated General Erich von Manstein’s planned thrust through the Ardennes Forest into the invasion plans for France. Likewise, Fascist submarines sank six merchant vessels that each flew French, Spanish, Greek, Panamanian, Netherlandish, and Norwegian flags. A total of forty men died on the six vessels. 1941: Berlin’s Chancellor met with tank generals and tank designers at his residence Berghof in southern Germany. He insisted on using larger (either 50‐millimeter or 75‐millimeter) high velocity guns for Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. He also demanded some soldiers to be released from the front to man tank factories. Likewise, Axis aircraft mined the Suez Canal in Egypt, forcing the transit of carrier HMS Formidable into the Mediterranean Sea to be delayed. 1942: Berlin, Rome, and Tōkyō signed a military convention in Berlin, laying down ‘guidelines for common operations against the common enemies.’ 1943: At the Berlin Sport Palace, Goebbels announced the implementation of total war in the Third Reich, bringing women into the industrial war effort. In the same speech, he also called Jews ‘the root of evil in the world’. Likewise, the Gestapo arrested Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie, members of the White Rose, for opposing the Third Reich.

Several instances are currently spamming this community with garbage. We're trying to ban them all but new ones keep popping up. Our apologies but do know we are working on it.

Believe it or not but Lemmygrad admin is not my daily job and I have to do that as well, so it might be flooded in the meantime 😤

>Among the groups lined up in ordered ranks eager pay homage to Mussolini, for the first time we saw a large section of young women with very unusual clothing—safari suits and pith helmets. This display was a living representation of the new policy aimed expressly at girls that had been inaugurated in 1937. Indeed, these girls had been carefully selected for the occasion from among those who had felt the benefit of courses and camps for colonial preparation. > >These were set up in line with detailed programmes issued by the secretariat of the National Fascist Party, working closely with the Fasci Femminili (open to the masses since the early 1930s), and the Istituto Fascista dell’Africa Italiana. The news was given considerable prominence in the régime’s press, for example L’Azione Coloniale, with an abundance of commentary and photographs.²² > >[…] > >After the war of aggression against Ethiopia, which began on 3 October 1935 and ended on 5 May 1936 with General Pietro Badoglio’s conquest of Addis Ababa, the régime felt the need to unite all the forces that could be considered valid supporters of imperialist policy. > >To this end, a widespread media campaign was launched, targeting female subjects, who should become pillars of the new image of Italian society that Mussolini wanted to portray. Large gatherings of women in the capital, creation of the so‐called Giornata della Fede [Day of Wedding Rings],²⁵ awards to prolific mothers: they appeared more and more frequently on the front pages of newspapers, being praised for their supreme dedication to the Duce and the destiny of the fatherland. > >The moral fortitude and abnegation of Fascist women were exalted in their commitment to the economic battle against the embargo on foreign products, but it was with the prospect of changing the strategy in the colonies that the Fascist leaders pointed directly to the involvement of the female element as a guarantee of stability and morality. > >The (re)population of Ethiopia²⁶ was becoming problematic: the men who had moved there (soldiers, farmworkers and labourers) had indulged in excesses of sexual unruliness, adopting inconvenient practices such as the madamato,²⁷ the frequentation of prostitutes, or conceiving children with African women.²⁸ The régime could no longer tolerate such abuses, which did little in defence of the race, an increasingly propagated and widespread ideal. > >In the beginning of 1937, it was therefore decided to start a vast press campaign that spoke explicitly of “colonial women”. The first phase of this project was to preach the validity and goodness of the transfer of unmarried women to Africa in order to contract marriages with the existing settlers; the second phase, which involved a much more complex and articulated project, brimming with directives and regulations issued directly from the Fascist Party top brass, focused on the education of young women, training them for life in the colonies.

(Emphasis added.)

It might be surprising that many Fascists would later deviate from their staunch conservatism by allowing women more flexibility in terms of mental and physical education, for example:

>There was a specific and consistent focus on physical education, an activity that had now become a necessary feature of the model of fascist woman, being essential for eminently eugenic purposes.³⁹ > >[…] > >In fact, it was hoped that more and more professional women would decide to move out to the farthest reaches of the Fascist empire, and the skills most in demand were enumerated in detail. These included “the healthcare and chemistry professions […]. In engineering, mechanical and electrical, women graduates qualified for that professional exercise will also find a place as the plants progress”.⁴⁷

One should be careful not to assume that this flexibility was something that the Fascists granted out of altruism or some change of heart. A more plausible explanation is that this flexibility was a means of dealing with a labour shortage, and imposing Fascist colonialism on a preindustrial region in Africa was going to be much more challenging than instituting Fascism in a more industrial country like Italy, where the ruling class was very permissive, so Realpolitik was necessary and the Fascists had to get the most out of their women settlers. Switching to traditional gender rôles was still perfectly welcome:

>The remaining part of the manual covers hygiene and sanitary issues — childcare, breastfeeding, weaning, baby hygiene, house cleaning, food preparation and first aid — closely linking them to the work of nurturing, ever the province of women.

1932: Adolf Schicklgruber arrived in Berlin (rather than six feet under Berlin like he should have). 1937: To the Fascists’ annoyance, Martin Bormann ordered that clergymen and theology students were disallowed from joining the NSDAP. 1939: Rome passed more anti‐Jewish legislation, and the Empire of Japan’s 5th Fleet arrived off Qinghai Bay, Hainan island in southern China some time between 2300 hours and the end of the day. 1940: After sundown, during this dark night with minimal moon light, six Fascist merchant ships sailed out of Vigo, Galicia, Spain, intending on breaking the Allied blockade. The ships: Arucas, Morea, Orizaba, Rostock, Wahehe, and Wangoni. Likewise, as U‐23 began her eighth war patrol, the Kriegsmarine’s destroyers Z3, Z4, and Z16 deployed 110 mines in the Shipwash, a busy sea lane in the North Sea east of Harwich, England. 1941: Admiral Darlan became Vichy France’s new Vice Premier while Berlin promoted Erwin Rommel to the rank of Generalleutnant, but the Axis lost El Agheila, Libya, marking an end of Operation Compass. Axis submarine U‐37 assaulted Allied convoy HG‐53 and the Axis damaged British cruiser HMS Neptune. 1942: During the day, Axis troops captured Tengah airfield at Singapore while behind the front 10,000 additional troops arrived at the beachheads. At 2100 hours, the Empire of Japan’s 4th Imperial Guard Regiment landed at Kranji in northern Singapore, but the attempt was driven off by Australian 27th Brigade's heavy machine gun and mortar fire before the Australians fell back in anticipation of another landing. Likewise, Imperial Japanese Special Naval Landing Force troops arrived at Gasmata airfield, renamed Surumi airfield by the Axis, in southern New Britain to expand the existing grass runway built by the RAAF. Axis aircraft damaged British cruiser HMS Cleopatra and destroyer HMS Farndale maybe around the same time that Axis submarine U‐654 attacked Allied convoy ON‐60. 1943: The Axis lost Belgorod, Russia and Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands to the Allies. Meanwhile, on Ambon Island in eastern Indonesia, the Axis beheaded 85 Australian and Netherlandish prisoners. 1944: Walter Heitz, Axis colonel general, died, but the Axis recaptured Aprilia, Italy and the Reich’s Foreign Ministry in the Hague reported back to Berlin that to date 108,000 Jews had been deported from the Netherlands. The Netherlandish population considered Axis methods brutal, and church circles were actively promoting disapproval for the deportations. 1945: Half of the German 19.Armee evacuated back into the Reich proper before somebody blew up the final Rhine River bridge in the Colmar Pocket in France. Likewise, Axis engineers blew up the dam over the Ruhr, thereby presenting the U.S. Ninth Army with an unbridgeable strip of surging water. This led to the assault from the south being postponed and the waters would not subside sufficiently for General William Simpson’s leading troops to resume their advance until later in February. In the meantime, Otto Wünsche arrived in the Reich and disembarked Reich servicemen who had been in Latvia at the end of the war, and the Axis lost its submarine U‐864 as well as three destroyers and passenger ship Steuben.

---- Events that happened today (August 14):

1890: Bruno Emil Tesch, Axis chemist who co‐invented Zyklon B, arrived to worsen life with his existence. 1934: Adolf Schicklgruber received a signed document containing Hindenburg's ‘last wish’, which was for the restoration of the Hohenzollern monarchy. Schicklgruber did not have the document published. Hermann Göring was injured in an accident outside Munich when the car he was driving collided with a truck on a narrow road. He sustained injuries to his back and cuts to his face and knees, but left the hospital the next day. 1936: Nationalist forces led by Juan Yagüe captured the walled city of Badajoz. Once inside, a savage repression known as the Massacre of Badajoz began, making headlines around the world. Meanwhile, Portugal accepted a French proposal for neutrality in the Spanish Civil War, an important step in the international nonintervention agreement France was seeking. 1937: The Battle of Santander began. Chinese warplanes attacked Imperial ships in Shanghai harbour, but most of the bombs missed their targets and struck civilian areas instead, killing over 1,000. 1940: Fascist administrator Gustav Simon abrogated the Constitution of Luxembourg, banned all opposition parties and made German the only official language there. 1941: Axis forces captured Krivoy Rog while the Third Reich commissioned the submarine U‐583. Meanwhile, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill jointly issued the Atlantic Charter, stating the Allied goals for the postbellum world as British bombers conducted an overnight raid on the railway yards at Hanover. 1943: Allied bombers flew a record distance, traveling 2,500 miles from Australia to carry out the first bombing raid on the island of Borneo, striking the Axis oil reserves at Balikpapan. Meanwhile, the Axis lost both the Battle of Roosevelt Ridge and the Battle of Belgorod. To make matters even worse for them, Rome was declared an open city by the Italian government a day after its twoth bombing, making the announcement in a radio broadcast by Stetani, the official news agency. Marshal Pietro Badoglio, the Italian Prime Minister confirmed the decision later in the day, offering to remove Rome’s defenses, under the supervision of the Allies, in exchange for no further bombing. Finally, the British submarine Saracen was damaged by depth charges from Italian corvettes off Bastia, Corsica and scuttled to prevent capture. 1944: The Osovets Offensive officially ended with the completion of Soviet objectives. Canadian and Polish troops began Operation Tractable, the final offensive of the Battle of Normandy. An Italian prisoner of war was killed during a violent conflict between Yankee soldiers and Italian POWs. Finally, the Axis submarine U-618 was sunk in the Bay of Biscay by British ships and aircraft. 1945: Emperor Hirohito recorded a radio message to the Japanese people saying that the war should end and that they must ‘bear the unbearable.’ That night the Kyūjō incident occurred, an effort by a group of officers to steal the recording and stop the move to surrender. The attempt would fail and the conspirators would commit suicide. 1947: The Western Allies completed the Buchenwald Trial. Of the 31 convicted staff members of the Buchenwald concentration camp, they executed only 11, and gave the rest prison sentences, most of whom they let out early. 1956: Konstantin Hermann Karl Freiherr von Neurath, Axis diplomat and war criminal, dropped dead. 1988: Enzo Anselmo Giuseppe Maria Ferrari, Axis businessman, expired.

One of the reasons that I try to avoid mentioning nationality more than necessary is that it quietly implies (especially through repetition) that the better people of the same nationality were either nonexistent or somehow responsible for their siblings’ atrocities. For some of these victims, Fascism tainted entire nationalities by sheer association:

>During his interviews Menachem expressed his anger and said that he still he wished he could take revenge on the Germans who killed his younger brother. He was particularly enraged that his nine‐year‐old brother was hunted by the Germans and reportedly tied up and shot. This was after a Polish man tipped them off about his whereabouts. He said that he remained enraged about this throughout his life: I hate the Polish more than the Germans because they killed my brother by handing him over to the Germans.

>Lenna expressed her unremitting rage against the Germans. I lost my whole family. I never buy anything German. People say, “forgive and forget”. To forgive, never. I don’t care what the Germans do. I don’t care how they try to make up for it. I don’t care how many generations come after. A German is always a German, forever.

>Anne expressed her anger in the following way: The Lithuanians were all murderers; they took the Jews from their homes and took all their possessions. My mother and my sister were killed. I was told that my eleven‐year‐old sister begged for her life before being shot by the Nazis. Of course, I carry a grudge. I don’t like the Germans and am still angry.

One of these victims did not hold the same grudge, but, interestingly, she was actually angry at Judaists:

>Miriam reported she was not angry toward the Germans and wanted to forgive them, but not forget, feeling hatred is destructive, and it spoils one’s life. However, this was a complex response, as during the interviews Miriam frequently mentioned her anger at religious Jews and Rabbis for not adequately commemorating the Holocaust and the loss of Jewish people. Why do they commemorate the exile from Egypt but there is no commemoration of the Holocaust? My father and all my family members were killed as well as six million Jews.

Nightmares were common:

>In addition, he relived his experiences of being shot in his leg by a German, during his nightmares.

>For decades she suffered from disturbing nightmares where she dreamed that her children were being chased by [Fascists] and although her functioning was good, she reported that at times she struggled to emotionally self‐regulate and she was prone to being irritable.

>For decades she felt persecuted by horrific nightmares of [Fascists] attacking her children and she would wake up her husband by crying and shouting in her sleep.

>She reported that she still suffered from nightmares.

An important point: while all Shoah survivors such as these suffer from trauma, it is a stereotype that their trauma’s effects are so extreme that they can no longer perform mundane tasks like getting out of bed. Generally speaking, that is not the case. Quoting Rich Brownstein’s Holocaust Cinema Complete:

>On the contrary, Holocaust survivors are resilient, generally vibrant, well‐adjusted, normal, fully‐functioning members of society. True, they always carry the weight of the Holocaust and are certainly not dismissive of their experiences, but Holocaust survivors are not incapacitated or cartoonish, as grossly exaggerated in films.

---- Evens that happened today (July 28):

1942: Because of the alarming Axis advances, Moscow was forced to issue Order № 227, which criminalized unordered retreats or otherwise relinquishing one’s position. 1943: Per Operation Gomorrah, the Royal Air Force bombed Hamburg, Germany causing a firestorm that killed 42,000 civilians. 1968: Otto Hahn, a key figure in the Third Reich’s nuclear arms programme, expired.
