History of Namibia
Between 1884 and 1915, Namibia was part of German territory called German South West Africa. The German Empire killed thousands of people during a 1904-08 revolt by local Nama, Herero and San people, in what some historians have called “the forgotten genocide”. Earlier this year, Namibia turned down a €10m ($12; £9m) offer by Germany for reparations, saying it would continue to negotiate for a “revised offer”. After World War One, Namibia came under South African control and gained independence in 1990.
But it still has many German-named towns and a small German-speaking community. The centre-left Swapo party arose from Namibia’s independence movement and has ruled the country since 1990. But support for the party has fallen following bribery allegations over the fishing industry. In last month’s elections, Swapo lost control of 30 major towns and cities.
Austrian Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Reign of Terror
Austrian Germany’s Hitler whose roots were from Austria spewed out virulent anti-Semitism and obsessive pursuit of Aryan supremacy. Adolf Hitler rose and raised up the Nazis who were a far-right fascist political party which arose during the social and financial upheavals that occurred following the end of World War I.
Hitler’s Party was small and marginalised, receiving 2.6% of the federal vote in 1928, prior to the start of the Great Depression in 1929.
By 1930 the Party won 18.3% of the federal vote, making it the Reichstag’s second largest political party.[While in prison after the failed Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, which laid out his plan for transforming German society into one based on race. Nazi ideology brought together elements of antisemitism, racial hygiene, and eugenics, and combined them with pan-Germanism and territorial expansionism with the goal of obtaining more Lebensraum for the Germanic people.
The regime attempted to obtain this new territory by attacking Poland and the Soviet Union, intending to deport or murder the Jews and Slavs living there, who were viewed as being inferior to the Aryan master race and part of a Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy.
The Nazi regime believed that only Germany could defeat the forces of Bolshevism and save humanity from world domination by International Jewry. Other people deemed life unworthy of life by the Nazis included the mentally and physically disabled, Romani people, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and social misfits.
The Genocide
Hitler executed genocide, the murder of hostages, reprisal raids, forced labor, “euthanasia,” starvation, exposure, medical experiments, and terror bombing, and in the concentration and death camps, the Nazis murdered from 15,003,000 to 31,595,000 people, most likely 20,946,000 men, women, handicapped, aged, sick, prisoners of war, forced laborers, camp inmates, critics, homosexuals, Jews, Slavs, Serbs, Germans, Czechs, Italians, Poles, French, Ukrainians, and many others. Among them 1,000,000 were children under eighteen years of age.1 And none of these horrendous figures even include civilian and military combat or war-deaths targeting over twenty million, nine hundred forty-six thousand (20,946,000) victims between 1933 To 1945.
Hitler told Heinrich Himmler, the most powerful figure in the Third Reich, that it was not enough for the Jews simply to die; they must die in agony. They sought the best way to prolong their agony where Himmler turned the matter over to his advisers, who decided that a slow, agonizing death could be brought about by placing Jewish prisoners in freight cars in which the floors were coated with quicklime which produced excruciating burns. The advisers estimated that it would take four days for the prisoners to die, and for that whole time the freight cars could be left standing on some forgotten siding. Finally it was decided that the freight cars should be used in addition to the extermination camps. The Nazis murdered nearly six million European Jews, men, women and children. This genocide is called the Holocaust.
The extermination procedure in the gas chambers were women were driven to gas chambers and SS men escorted the men, women, and children selected for death to the gas chambers—initially to the gas chamber in crematorium I and “bunkers” 1 and 2, and, from the spring of 1943, to the gas chambers in crematoria II, III, IV, and V.
Trucks carried those too infirm to walk, and the rest marched. These people had to disrobe before entering the gas chambers. In crematorium I, they undressed either in the yard (surrounded by a wall) or in the antechamber. Wooden barracks were erected for this purpose at bunkers 1 and 2. There were special undressing rooms at crematoria II-V.
When large numbers of transports were arriving in 1944, the people assigned to death in the gas chamber in crematorium V also disrobed in the open air. After the Sonderkommando was quartered in the undressing room in crematorium IV, the people sent to die there undressed in a specially constructed barracks.
The SS men kept the people fated to die unaware of what awaited them. They were told that they were being sent to the camp, but that they first had to undergo disinfection and bathe. After the victims undressed, they were taken into the gas chamber, locked in, and killed with Zyklon B gas.
After they were killed, Sonderkommando prisoners dragged the corpses out of the gas chambers. They cut off the women’s hair and removed all metal dental work and jewelry. Then they burned the corpses in pits, on pyres, or in the crematorium furnaces. (Until September 1942, some of the corpses were buried in mass graves; these corpses were burned from September to November 1942.)
Bones that did not incinerate completely were ground to powder with pestles and then dumped, along with the ashes, in the rivers Soła and Vistula and in nearby ponds, or strewn in the fields as fertilizer, or used as landfill on uneven ground and in marshes.
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world’s countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. In a total war directly involving more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and the only two uses of nuclear weapons in war.
World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million deaths, a majority being civilians. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, massacres, and disease. In the wake of the Axis defeat, Germany and Japan were occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against German and Japanese leaders.
