When Russia and China have freed their monsters?

DEVELOPMENTS

Mass murderer Mao and Stalin continue to have a detrimental effect on their country. If the Germans woke up one morning, found in the heart of a thriving democratic Berlin, a huge portrait of Hitler, Germany would be terribly outraged. But China, a country that has become much freer and richer than ever, still thinks portrait of Mao, one of the most brutal tyrants in history, the central exhibit at Tiananmen Square. In Hitler's war, a total of ruined 35 million lives of soldiers and civilians. Mao starved and killed twice . However, they were his own people, but with this condition, the Chinese had to be doubly opposed to placing his portrait in the central square. Meanwhile, in Russia, and the image of Stalin's activity gradually rehabilitated. Some of the truth was expressed in the famous diatribe Khrushchev in 1956, but, nevertheless, international action Stalin often referred to as a patriotic field. Until now, the Russians are in no hurry to make a connection between the gulag in their homeland and an aggressive foreign policy: the Comintern, created to In order to promote a revolution of the Soviet type in the world, the invasion of Finland, the Baltic countries and in Poland at the beginning of the war and the brutal subjugation of Eastern Europe. The man who killed his best senior generals on the eve of the Nazi invasion, which refused to believe, that the Nazis had invaded the territory of the country, it is portrayed as the savior of the nation. He spent a tough internal policies and ruthless diplomacy, a vivid example of which is the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939. At the same time, increasingly it argued that it was necessary to defend the country from German - fascist hordes. It is true that Stalin and Mao managed to make their country strong and make the rest of the world to reckon with them. When a ruthless dictatorship, these things can be done, Hitler worked wonders for the German economy in the 30s, it has reached incredible heights. But ongoing totalitarianism cost Russia buried in the ground and the deformed spirit of the people. In China, as a result of "the Great Leap Forward, Mao" (40 million dead), and then the Cultural Revolution, the country is impoverished. The terrible Kolyma Stalin's labor camps was a huge amount of people who are constantly dying of hunger and cold, their frozen corpses were hung and hung in this state until the thaw to possible fingerprints. In the remote provinces of China, as a result of hunger, arranged Mao's mother exchanged children to not have their own.Today, when the Russians and the Chinese have full access to information about their monsters, why their governments are in no hurry to tell the truth ? The answer is simple: The government has never been profitable inflame tensions and provoke division, which may result from this is true, and in many cases people do not tend to recognize her. However, in China, the official position of the state, approved in 1993, Deng Xiaoping, It states that the policy of Mao was 70 percent right and 30 -nepravilnoy. Under pressure from the victims of the Cultural Revolution for greater integrity, he noted that this is not the exact percentage, but limited "situation." And the situation is that the less educated Chinese population may be nostalgic for the era of Mao and the "iron rice bowl", and that in the future may be at risk of displacement leading to the leadership position of the Communist Party. In Russia there is a sense of movement back. The era of Stalin and unusually takes alarmingly high position in the results of a national survey on the topic of the most significant dates in the history of the state. In connection with the refusal of President Putin this week to condemn him for the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact, we should remember that 61 percent of Russians do not know that the Russian troops invaded Poland on September 17, 1939, a few weeks after its signing. But many people do not want to know. 

Top Secret: Terminatiors of the Soviet Union

AMAZING FACTS

American historian Jeff Strasberg in his book gives a lot of evidence that in the period from 1936 to 1941, the Soviet Union was working on a secret project to create super - soldiers.

The soldiers were not crammed with chemicals or any drugs, their brains were implanted gold electrodes, which neutralized the work of pain centers. The bones in their limbs have been replaced with titanium implants that protected the soft tissues of landmines and shells, as well as from gunshot wounds . In this case the person does not threaten any injuries, because it will not lead to the fragmentation of bones and amputations.

Strasberg said that the experiment was attended by about 300 young volunteers (although participation was more forced than voluntary). All the soldiers have signed a non-disclosure document and the disclosure of "military secrets" could lead to death.

Later, half of the participants in the experiment went to live in military districts and the other half formed a special division. A week before the start of the Second World War soldiers were transferred to the Brest region, where the first day of the war it was completely destroyed by German artillery. Perhaps Nazi intelligence informed in advance about the "super - soldiers."

However, another 150 victims horrible experiments on human flesh remained alive. Maybe there were more than 150. In 1945, the Allied forces captured the secret medical facility in Germany. There were found the bodies of people who belonged to the Soviet troops. The bones in their bodies were replaced with steel dentures. It was also found the body of an officer with steel ribs. Moreover, they found the bodies of several dwarfs who became pilots because undersized people less vulnerable to the enemy, and their light weight allows you to take on board more fuel and ammunition.

The work center for the production of "universal soldier" was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. Almost all of his staff were mobilized into the army and were killed at the front. It is possible that the security services have taken care of themselves to such dangerous witnesses are not alive.

After the war, the project was canceled as not justified. It was created the atomic bomb, so the idea of soldiers termination was considered outdated. As it turned out, the book Strasberg was not the only source of information on super - soldiers.

In 1994 Vitebsk doctor Sergei Kovalenko found human remains in the old cemetery on the outskirts of the city.Apparently, the content of one of the graves of the river water has been raised to the surface. He was surprised that the skeleton was made of metal prostheses on hinges. Prosthetics almost completely replaced the human bones, not just arms and legs. On each of the bones was a sign of the hammer and sickle and the words "Kharkiv. 05.39." Konovalenko did not dare to bring my finding, arguing that it would be a sacrilege. However, two days later he returned to the place, but the mystery remains disappeared. They were either washed away by rain into the river, or someone had picked up.

Sergei haunted this story, and he decided to investigate. He found that before the war in the city of Vitebsk was the center of a secret military prosthetics. In the center of limbs and joints healthy soldiers of the Red Army was replaced by artificial.

During his investigation, Sergei Kovalenko came across a copy of the video designed for "official use". Seen footage of his horrified: the foot soldier, cut in the knee area, the extracted bone and iron prosthesis installed in its place.Immediately the voice-over says that the operation is carried out without anesthesia, because the pain is removed from the center of the human brain. Soldier during these cruel manipulation smiling. In the second part of the film in the area of ​​the elbow cut hand gushes blood, but a man doing the same thing he did with his foot. And again, "volunteer" smiles modestly.

According to Kovalenko, many of the soldiers were killed after such operations, as happened rejection of prostheses.Many soldiers who "turned off" pain centers, subsequently developed a brain tumor or a mental illness. Soviet surgeon failed to create an army of invincible soldiers, although victory in the war was won.

The unknown side of the personality of the beloved Hitler

DEVELOPMENTS

It was the mysterious part of the life of Hitler, which did not know the whole world for many years of the Third Reich. Now, however, a well-studied the biography of Eva Braun shows how unknown the first lady of Nazism was the exact opposite of what her favorite Adolf considered the ideal woman.Famous German historian Heike Gertemaker in his book "Eva Braun: Life with Hitler" portrays Eve, not as a woman, besotted state of his men, and as a loyal, independent thinker, that does not fit into those public statements by Hitler on what should be a woman. Eve was the only woman except his mother, who was able to touch the soul of Hitler, whom he married in the last days of the war. Born in 1912, she was 23 years younger than the men, whom she called a wolf (the nickname by which Hitler was known among his Nazi slave). She worked as an assistant Heinrich Hoffmann, the photographer who became famous and rich because the Fuhrer became a personal operator. With Hitler himself, she met in 1929. Gertemaker writes about how the blue-eyed blonde Eva was able to touch something cold heart of Hitler. It was her personality, her charm and independence that has captivated the Fuhrer until until they died together in Berlin on April 30, 1945. In the book of 350 pages the author writes: "It was completely different, not what it described . She was capricious, but an uncompromising different absolute loyalty to the dictator. "She led a life completely opposite to that which is described in the propaganda films of the Third Reich. Since Eva was neither housewife is not, nor mother, and, apparently, did not want her getting it meet the needs of man 23 years her senior, who had a questionable habits and was emotionally unstable. However, it is more than just an attractive young companion Fuhrer. Eve, as said the book, Hitler built a completely different life, far from the titanic struggle in the war, conquest and genocide, making it a homemaker, and like a normal tired after a busy day of human rights. Most recently, in Germany came another book that tells the story of the fragile health of Hitler, who take special medications, preparing for an intimate meeting with Eve. Hitler throughout his reign to maintain the fiction that his only bride was Germany. Therefore, the existence of Eve was a mystery to all, except for a very narrow circle of people, and the secret was kept for a sufficiently long period of time after the end of hostilities. German Spiegel magazine has called the book "the first biography of the sound and adjusted the image of a dumb blonde in the background of a mass murderer." Gertemaker in his book is really used only accurate information, backed up by documentary or eyewitness. One day, when in 1938 she saw a photo of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sitting on the sofa in his Munich apartment, she said, "If he only knew the history of this sofa! " Naturally, they talked about the physical side of love Eve and "Wolf." In the same year, in his will, Hitler wrote that no matter what happens, Eve should receive benefits from the Nazi funds before the end of his days. One of the closest associates of Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, who died in the bunker on the same day when his patron wrote at the time: "She's a smart girl, that means a lot to the Fuhrer." Eve share a love of Hitler and architecture, and, as they say in the book, actively participated in the implementation of his plans to turn his native Linz into the artistic capital of the Reich. "It has never been so banal, which it described," - says Gertemaker, also look for evidence of hearing that Hitler had his SS to investigate and explore the family tree of Eve in order to find out whether she had Jewish blood. In 1932, after his father's death Eve tried to commit suicide if she did, she would be the second woman near to Hitler, who committed suicide. His niece Geli Raubal committed suicide in Hitler's Munich apartment in 1931. Eva second time tried to commit suicide in 1935, after eating sleeping pills. The incident, according to the author of the book, much closer together it with the Führer. "She was faithful to him unto death, and, most likely, it is this unconditional loyalty to Hitler placed above all other virtues" - says Gertemaker. "Only my shepherd dog and Mrs. Brown faithful to me and belong to me only, "- he complained to Hitler at the end of the war.

Sex hormones to turn Hitler into a woman

AMAZING FACTS

Some have tried to use bombs to neutralize the Fuhrer, others used the least serious weapon, but did not achieve any results. It is now known about yet another bold method of British spies neutralize the man standing behind the German war machine - to give him a female hormones.

Agents planned to add a dose of estrogen in his food to become less aggressive and more like his docile younger sister Paula, who worked as a secretary. "Spies working for the British, were close enough to Hitler, so he had access to food," - says Professor Brian Ford (Brian Ford), who revealed the plot. He explained that estrogen was chosen because it has no taste and has a slow and subtle effect, so when testing food Hitler he would not reveal.

Speaking about the scheme, plan, Professor Ford, science writer and researcher of the University of Cardiff, said: "The Allies had a plan, they hoped that they could be added to food Fuhrer estrogen, which in turn would lead to a significant change in his personality, he would become more feminine and less aggressive. Research allies in London showed the importance of sex hormones. "

"There were agents who had access to his food, it was quite real," - he continued. As before eating food Fuhrer always tried his tasters, Professor Ford said that just add poison to food was not possible, as a taster died immediately. "Sex hormones - that is another matter."

The plan for the use of estrogen is described in a new book by Professor Ford called "secret weapon: technology, science, and race to victory in World War II" (Secret Weapons: Technology, Science And The Race To Win World War II). He stressed that the idea was only one of many attempts will nullify the war. Among other efforts, he noted disguise bombs in cans for fruit imported into Germany or the dropping of a large number of poisonous snakes on enemy troops.

However, he notes that most bizarre of all was the plan to defeat the giant water wheel full of explosives, which was to be "released" from the Normandy coast. "Despite the fact that the idea has not been realized, for the creation and testing it It took, by today's standards, £ 1 million. " The idea was developed, of course, in the strictest secrecy.

Professor Ford managed to unearth the details of using recently declassified files. Despite the large number of outlandish schemes War, a book that will be published next month, looks at how competition between countries to inspire them to develop new technologies.
