October 31, 1943:
- October 26: "Three thousand Jews are deported from Kovno, Lithuania, to the slave-labor camp at Klooga, Estonia.
- "The United Nations War Crimes Commission, composed of 15 Allied nations (the Soviet Union is not among the participants), has its first meeting, in London.
- October 30: "Dr. Zelik Levinbok, a Jewish doctor interned at the Koldichevo camp in Belorussia, escapes with his wife and eight- year-old son."
"A gruesome mound of burnt bodies testifies to the mass murder that occurred at Maly Trostinets, near Minsk in Belorussia.
With the liquidation of the Minsk Ghetto in late October 1943, more than 2000 Jews were transported to Maly Trostinets to meet their deaths.
In all, tens of thousands of Jews were executed at this site."
“A gruesome mound of burnt bodies testifies to the mass murder that occurred at Maly Trostinets, near Minsk in Belorussia.”
Oskar Dirlewanger and his crew at work, yet again...
This guy was the real deal, a pedophile sadist that reveled at killing and butchering people, sometimes even his own men, made up of the worst of the worst of Germany’s criminals, and Russian Hiwi’s, who hated the Communist-supporting Jews as much or more than the Himmler did.
Dirlewanger didn’t really “hate” the Jewish People, it just gave him an excuse to partake in his favorite activities, including child-rape, then injecting them with strychnine so he could watch them convulse and die, while he was getting his jollies. This guy reveled in blood and death, always leading his troops from the front, being wounded many times, and personally murdering anyone that didn’t follow his orders.
Even the Germans hated this guy, but he had patrons high-up in the SS, some of whom enjoyed his same taste for young girls. And his unit was highly “effective” in the field, especially in anti-partisan work, which kept his German Army foes at bay.
His troops will “save the day” in Warsaw during the ghetto rebellion, after the Russian Liberation Army falls apart, and Himmler orders its General executed.
