The Second World War was the most cruel and bloody in the history of mankind. She pulled into his deadly cycle of dozens of countries and peoples. And, in the opinion of seeing documentary evidence, the paintings of the death of people, impassively fixed by the camera, it is impossible not to shudder. It is difficult to say that it is terrible in this selection - paintings of mass alarms or a terrible, ineverance moment of death of a single person.

Katyn.

Removing bodies from mass burial in the Katyn Forest. According to the documents, more than 21 thousand Poles were shot here - both prisoners of officers and political prisoners. Only a few decades after the tragedy, Russia officially recognized the guilt of the NKVD in this atrocity.

Warsaw Ghetto

Residents of Warsaw Ghetto before execution. Murders in the ghetto took place every day: killed old and weak, children and women ... In addition, the terrible tesnotes and hunger reigned in Ghetto. Not wanting submissively waiting for death, the residents of Warsaw Ghetto raised the uprising. From April 19 to May 16, 1943, fierce battles were walking on the faces. The Germans have introduced Jewish parts into the territory of the ghetto and, which cuts off the quarter over the quarter, was brutally suppressed resistance. In total, during this time more than 7,000 rebels were killed.

Slaughter in Malmed

During the battles in Ardennes near the Belgian village of Malmedi, 84 American soldiers were captured. All their siepers shot immediately, in the field. Several prisoners managed to escape. They came to the news of the Boyne in Malmedy to the American command.

At the sailors who were in the water attacked a flock of hungry sharks. For very approximate estimates, up to 150 people died from the teeth of hungry predators. The death of sailors "Indianapolis" is considered the most massive in the history of the death of people from the teeth of sharks. In a picture, the doctor inspects terrible wounds from shark teeth from one of the survivors.

Slaughter in Nanjing

As a rule, young, often unlawed suicide pylots sent their cars to the bases and the ships of allies in the Pacific Ocean. The bitter irony lies in the fact that the blows of Kamikadze did not always achieve the goals - both due to the allied air defense and because of their own small preparation. Fanatics boils in vain.

"Sea Wolves"

"Seasy wolves" during the battle for the Atlantic called the detachments of German submarines, which were growing across the ocean and with the same ruthlessness of the trees as military and commercial vessels. During the war years, "sea wolves" came up about 4,000 vessels, on which approximately 75 thousand people died, because salvation in the open ocean for people was practically not. The picture is a ship traded by one of the "sea wolves", goes under water.

Italians in Ethiopia
