Revealed: Victims of UK’s cold war torture camp

Photographs of victims of a secret torture programme operated by British authorities during the early days of the cold war are published for the first time today after being concealed for almost 60 years.

The pictures show men who had suffered months of starvation, sleep deprivation, beatings and extreme cold at one of a number of interrogation centres run by the War Office in postwar Germany.

A few were starved or beaten to death, while British soldiers are alleged to have tortured some victims with thumb screws and shin screws recovered from a gestapo prison. The men in the photographs are not Nazis, however, but suspected communists, arrested in 1946 because they were thought to support the Soviet Union, an ally 18 months earlier.

Fra The Guardian og mere her

Denne historie blev refereret i DR-P1 her til morgen. Allerede da de nævnte overskriften, og jeg hørte P1’s journalistens klynkende stemme læse historien op -tænkte jeg med det samme ‘Guardian’ – Ja ganske rigtigt, hvem kunne ellers finde sådan en historie frem, der er selvfølgelig allerede krav om erstatninger og undskyldninger. Formålet er selvfølgelig at vise, at englænderne, der reddede verden fra tyranniet, faktisk ikke var bedre end Gestapo. Profeten er slem, men Guardian er slemmere. Spændende at følge med i hvordan denne Politisk Korrekte historie vil udvikle sig – vi har ikke hørt det hele endnu.

  1. Nå nej. Man skal hellere vælge sig en ond og en god og så holde sig til det. Gud bedre det at man forsøger at se nuancerne i en historie.
