A TERRIBLE STORY OF MAJOR DICK WINTERS WHO LED THE U.S ARMY UNIT IN ALL OF WORLD WAR II.

 


At the Dachau concentration camp, they liberated scores of Holocaust prisoners who'd endured months, if not years, of hell.

One day, my grandson said to me, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war? And I said to him, 'No, I'm not a hero, but I have served in a company full of them."

Major Dick Winters led perhaps the most storied U.S. Army unit in all of World War II. On D-Day, he and his "band of brothers" in Easy Company defeated a far larger German force and allowed the Allied advance to continue.

At the Dachau concentration camp, they liberated scores of Holocaust prisoners who'd endured months, if not years, of hell.

And as the war in Europe drew to a close, they captured Hitler's personal mountaintop retreat in southern Germany — then kicked back on his terrace in triumph while sipping champagne from his wine cellar. 

But for decades, Winters was reluctant to even tell his story, lest he be called a hero. Eventually, however, Easy Company's harrowing and courageous exploits on the Western front in 1944 and 1945 would be immortalized in "Band of Brothers."

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF MANKATO THE LARGEST MASS EXECUTION EVER CARRIED OUT IN THE USA.

Image
  On August 17th, 1862, The Sioux Uprising began in Minnesota, which resulted in more than 800 white settlers dead. It started when four young Sioux murdered five white settlers at Acton. The Santee Sioux, who lived on a long, narrow reservation on the south side of the Minnesota River, were reacting to broken government promises and corrupt Indian agents. A military court sentenced 303 Sioux to die, but President Abraham Lincoln reduced the list to 38.  They were to be hanged at Mankato, Minnesota on December the 26th 1862.   The St. Paul Pioneer Press account of the execution "On Wednesday each Indian set apart for execution was permitted to send for two or three of his relatives or friends confined in the same prison for the purpose of bidding them a final adieu, and to carry such messages to absent relatives as each person might be disposed to send.  Major Brown was present during the interviews, and describes them as very sad and affecting. Each Indian had ...

The body, soon identified as German adventurer Manfred Fritz Bajorat, was completely calcified in an eerie shade of grey, as if he was made of ash.

  On February 25, 2016, a group of fishermen happened upon a seemingly abandoned yacht drifting off the coast of the Philippine island of Mindanao. But when they peered inside, they found something more startling than they could have ever imagined — the mummified body of a man, frozen in place right there in his chair. The body, soon identified as German adventurer Manfred Fritz Bajorat, was completely calcified in an eerie shade of grey, as if he was made of ash. Positioned right next to the boat's radio, Bajorat was believed to have been trying to make one last distress call when he died in the very spot where the fishermen later found him. To this day, no one knows exactly how long his body had been sitting there, slowly mummifying while his boat drifted at sea.

THE HORRIBLE STORY IF PROFESSOR HERHARD BUHTZ FORENSIC MEDICINE SPECIALIST FROM BRESLAU....

Image
  In late March 1943, Professor Gerhard Buhtz, forensic medicine specialist from Breslau, oversaw the first exhumations of Polish officers murdered by the NKVD in Katyń. It wasn’t long before the Polish laborers excavating the pits came across two bodies which seemed out of place: one belonged to a 13 year-old boy wearing shorts, sandals and a jacket, the other to a young woman dressed in a military garb. At first, they were thought to be mother and son – which didn’t add up, since this was an execution site for Polish officers, policemen, border guards and public servants, not for families – and less so for children. With time, the puzzle was solved. The woman was Janina Lewandowska, Polish Army pilot and radio operator, and the boy must have been an accidental victim – probably a local child who got too curious about the shooting in the woods, came too close, was spotted and killed as well. Both – 2nd Lieutenant Lewandowska, née Dowbor-Muśnicka, and the lad – were most likely sho...
