Ah Those Were The Days


The Nazis liked Christmas, you go and think about that.

Karl Hoecker, an adjutant to the camp commander of Auschwitz death camp collected 116 photos of his happy army days during the war. They were found in 1946 by a US intelligence officer who kept them to himself for 6 decades before giving them to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
US intelligence being an oxymoron of course.
Many of the photographs were taken at Solahuette, a SS resort near Auschwitz where the camp officers and guards would go to for a good time away from the stresses of a hard days work.

Always ready to belt out a drinking song, Nazis like Dr Mengele, Rudolf Hoess, gas chamber supervisor Otto Moll and Birkenau Kommandant Josef Kramer would stay there and relax , a regular Butlins holiday camp it was.

Hans and his amazing organ was always around to play a nice cheerful polka. Hoecker is seen here enjoying blueberries with a group of female SS auxiliaries, on the day this picture was taken (22 July 1944) 150 prisoners, arrived at Auschwitz. The SS selected 21 men and 12 women for work and killed the rest in the gas chambers, fucking cheery huh?
It wasn't proven that Hoecker committed any war crimes but I think his closeness to the big wigs and what he is serving as is a crime enough, he was sentenced to seven years in prison and released on parole in 1970. He worked at a banking job and eventually died in Germany in 2000, aged 88. Maybe if these pics were shown instead of pocketed he might have gotten a more fitting sentence. Ah the things that were plundered by the liberating Yanks.


Nice doggy, of course it is probably trained to rip a Jew a part, lets hope it got Hans.

Disgusting pictures , what kind of people can degrade and murder thousands and then get on like they're at a holiday camp? When we the allies had our greatest generation then the Germans must of had their worse, what were they part demon?
