I hadn’t previously seen the majority of the photos in this 11-minute video. Many are colourised for effect, and that works well. As well as the subtitles, there is some commentary explaining them.
Despite the rather sensationalist title of the video, none of the images are particularly distressing or upsetting. (In my opinion.)

(1) We could use a balloon apron to defend the U.S. from Chinese spy balloons.
(2) Robert told me that the USS Shaw was destroyed by a great white shark.
(3) Did the South Koreans who cut boys’ hair short also cut the girls’ short skirts even shorter?
(4) The narrator’s pronunciation of Ovillers-la-Boisselle made me cringe!
(5) Foot soldiers posing with one of the penguin actors from “Happy Feet.”
(6) Do amputees write short letters?

(4). I had to turn off the sound. I found his voice annoying.

How do humans become such monsters? I shall never get my head around the death camps or all the other ghastly horrors. What is the flaw in our make-up?

Hatred, envy, greed, entitlement. Most of us have them to some degree, others have no control over that combination.

Some heart rending stuff there Pete. In a house we moved into we found photos of women and children lined up with German guards outside the gas chambers. They were ACTUAL photos pinned to the roof timbers.

Sad memories for whoever previously lived in the house perhaps?

I was curious about that, too, Ed. I’d never heard of them before.

I recall reading something in the last century that mentioned them. But, the article gave no further information; and, that was before the Internet and the ability to look things up without going to a library. Warmest regards, Ed

Collaboration with the Germans was widespread all over Europe of course. Nobody realised that they might eventually lose the war.
