8.4.1945: Massaker von Celle Kurz vor Ende des Krieges in Europa, die alliierten Truppen sind nur Tage entfernt, werden kurz vor knapp noch unsägliche Verbrechen begangen. Aus einem durch Luftangriffe beschädigten Zug entfliehen im niedersächsischen Celle KZ- Häftlinge. In der Zeit vom 8.-10. April 1945 führen SS und Wehrmacht eine großangelegte Suche in Celle und Umgebung durch. Mindestens 170 (wahrscheinlich eher 200-300) Häftlinge werden erschlagen und erschossen. Auffallend: zahlreiche Celler Bürger beteiligen sich freiwillig an Suche und Mord. Am 12.4.45 wird die Stadt von britischen Truppen besetzt. Von April bis Mai 1948 wird der Fall vor einem Militärtribunal verhandelt in einem der ersten Nachkriegsprozesse wg. NS- Verbrechen.

Die Frage stellt sich: Warum haben sich insbesondere Zivilisten freiwillig (!) an der Jagd auf die KZ-Häftlinge beteiligt und an den Morden? Das Ende war abzusehen. Es war klar: in wenigen Tagen kommen die Alliierten, dann wird Celle besetzt. Es gab die Möglichkeit sich zu entscheiden zu töten, oder sich herauszuhalten. Nicht einmal Aufbegehren war nötig, einfach nur die Entscheidung, sich nicht freiwillig zu melden und zu töten. Die Beteiligten entschieden sich für das Töten. Warum? Es gab die Gelegenheit! Unter dem NS war eine Strafe nicht zu befürchten. Unter den Alliierten würde man keine Gelegenheit mehr haben. Also schnell noch mal raus und töten. Was sagt das über Menschen aus?

Requirements for a new heavy tank were signed #OTD in 1945. This tank would have a 122 mm gun with a muzzle velocity of 1000 m/s and enough armour to protect itself from it. This was the first of many tanks to carry the index IS-7. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD On April 7, 1946, the Soviet Union officially annexed northern East Prussia, establishing the Königsberg Oblast (later Kaliningrad). Following the Potsdam Conference, this move permanently redrew post-WWII European borders and led to the total expulsion of the German population.

#OTD On April 7, 1945, the battleship Yamato was sunk by U.S. aircraft during Operation Ten-Go. As it capsized, a massive magazine explosion occurred, sending a smoke cloud 6 km into the air. One of the largest battleships ever built, its loss resulted in over 3,000 casualties.

There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

#OTD in 1944 Hitler ordered trials and production of a new lightened suspension. The Einheitslaufwerk suspension was a compact, light, and simple system that could be used on a variety of vehicles. It was tested, but never put into production. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
Applique armour for KV-1 tanks was ordered #OTD in 1941. The extra 25-30 mm thick plates improved the tank's protection, but added nearly three tons of weight. The extra plates were soon almost entirely phased out in favour of thicker main armour. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
