Most Brutal And Horrific Form Of Execution In The Acient History. - Education

Consider yourself lucky if you are reading this, you most likely not to have lived in a society with extreme judgements, sentences, and punishments. Back in the good old days if you did something wrong, for example stole a goat, chicken, Adultery, you were pretty much assured being handed a death sentence. In those days there was no hanging around on Death Row, contemplating the errors of your ways whilst waiting for some form of humane, painless death. Executions in the ancient history seems to be so barbaric and devices used were built with careful engineering to push the guilty to feel extreme and prolonged pain before death. The forms of execution listed below really are so barbaric that you might question your faith in human nature. Blowing from the gun. With the invention of the cannon came this wonderfully imaginative way of executing enemy combatants. The basic method was to tie the unfortunate victim to the barrel of a cannon and fire it. Horrific as this sounds I imagine it w...

Love in the Time of War: Vintage Photos of Soldiers Sharing Last Kisses



The act of saying goodbye is always an emotional one, especially when it’s to loved ones who are going to war. The vintage photos of soldiers kissing their girlfriends, wives, or even kids before getting deployed or going to war capture the human side of war.
The shots depict the immense sacrifices that soldiers and their loved ones had to make during World War II.



Many of them knew they might not make it back home alive. These photos captured the raw emotions of those moments, soldiers hugging their loved ones tightly, looking into their eyes, and kissing them goodbye.
These moments of goodbye display the deep love and commitment that soldiers and their families had for one another, despite the challenges and uncertainty that lay ahead.
The old photographs serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices that soldiers and their families made during times of war. War is not solely about the soldiers who fight on the front lines; it is also about the families left behind.


Korean War Goodbye Kiss, Los Angeles, Sept. 6, 1950.

The duration of time that soldiers spent overseas during World War II varied based on the location and mission. Some soldiers were deployed for several months, while others were sent overseas for several years.

For example, soldiers who fought in the European theater typically spent longer periods away from home than those who served in the Pacific theater. In general, soldiers stationed overseas for a year or more were not allowed to take leave and return home.



Written correspondence provided soldiers with a much-needed connection to events back home. For families at home, receiving word from soldiers in the field provided additional assurance against fears of loss.
So many letters were exchanged between soldiers and their families during the Second World War that letters eventually had to be microfilmed to save space on cargo ships. This microfilmed mail was known as Victory mail, or V-mail.


Many letters sent home included detailed information about what daily military life was like, focusing on ordinary activities that took place between military operations.

Since letters were strictly censored, there was no specific information about the soldier’s location or the military operation they were affiliated with.



Correspondence sent from loved ones at home, on the other hand, was full of local details, such as weather, sports teams, gossip, or family matters

True story of teen girl praised as a 'one woman army' for killing over 100 Nazis with clever technique

Zinaida Portnova, known for having taken the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food at just 16 years of age. She was captured by the Gestapo and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed 2 more Nazis. The teenager managed to execute three Nazis, even after she had been captured Zinaida Portnova's story is one of particular significance, with some nowadays labelling her as a 'one woman army'. Born in Leningrad, Russia, in February 1926 - Portnova had quite the life, even though it was cut pretty short. She was a seventh-grade student at the 385th school in the Russian city in 1941, when she left for her grandmother's house in the Vitebsk region. Nazi Germany invaded the shortly after that, and an incident with Nazi troops led to Portnova despising them. German soldiers hit her grandmother while they were confiscating the cattle, leading to the girl (quite understandably) havin...

Pata Seca; Meet Slave Whose Only Duty Was To Have Sex With Women To Procreate

Slaves were known to be priced possessions of their owners who mainly were used for hard labour especially on farms and other labourous areas of enterprise. It's a known fact that slavery contributed significantly to the development of the Western nations and some of the upcoming developed countries like Brazil and the likes. While I will not waste time to take you on History class or lessons, stumbled on a name and story that looked like fiction yet a true life and historical figure in Brazil. Pata Seca was a black slave in Brazil in the late 1880s, while there are varying versions of his story and biography one thing remained constant. That Pata Seca was a slave who didn't work on any farm, factory or engaged in any hard labour through out his life but was groomed, pampered and given preferential treatment is an irony only explained by the reason for which it happened. The whole arrangement was a sinister one aimed as using Pata Seca as a breeder of slaves, just as dogs and o...

Beria cried like a baby when he heard he was going to be executed

Beria and Stalin Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, is a person for whom the world even if it wished in a moment of lucid embrace, would find itself with an impossible task to show sympathy for. Beria in his last moments, pleaded for his own life, it was ironic as he had been in charge of the NKVD the predecessor of the KGB, and he had personally overseen hundreds of thousands of deaths if not millions. Much of what the world knows about Beria are the horrific deeds he committed. It is likely much of his reputation has been made worse, but this is not to say that he was not instrumental in committing war crimes. His actions included acts of depravity against women, and their murder while head of the NKVD as well. Beria had not just committed crimes but been part of a system he had a major role in creating. The Soviet Union became a state which could not even exist without constant fear of arrests, accusations, torture, forced confessions and death, though these elements are not unique to it al...
