Over 20,000 deserters and war resisters paid the ultimate price at the hands of Hitler's brutal war judges and bloody executioners. Thousands of others died in prison camps and penal battalions. Even for those who escaped death, life was never the same. Even today, many of those who refused to serve the Nazis live as pariahs, scorned by a society that professes to hate the regime they had actively opposed. In contrast, their judges, masters of unbelievably draconian sentences, thrived in post-war Germany and beyond as honoured men in prestigious positions. Hitler's Deserters: When Law Merged with Terror is the story of this incredible injustice. It is the disturbing story of what happened to those who refused to fight for the Third Reich, and - even more horrifying - it is the story of an international community that has turned its back on them.

Uber 20 000 Deserteure und Kriegsdienstverweigerer wurden von Hitlers brutalen Kriegsrichtern zum Tode verurteilt und hingerichtet. Zigtausend andere kamen in Militargefangnissen und strafrechtlichen Batallionen ums Leben. Selbst fur diejenigen, die mit dem Leben davongekommen waren, war das Leben nach dem Krieg nie mehr dasselbe. Bis zu ihrem Lebensende galten die meisten Manner, die den Nazis ihre Gefolgschaft entzogen hatten, als Verrater. Im Gegensatz dazu konnten ihre Richter, Leute, die dem NS-Staat treu gedient hatten, als geehrte Manner sofort nach Kriegsende in Politik und Justiz ihre Karriere fortsetzen. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht ein unglaubliches Unrecht. Es erzahlt die Geschichte von Justizmorden von erschreckendem Ausmass.

Even for those who escaped death, life was never the same. Tormented by their memories of indescribable mental and physical abuse, those who once refused to serve the Nazis had to live as pariahs, scorned by a society that professed to hate the regime they had actively opposed. In contrast, their judges, masters of unbelievable draconian sentences, thrived in post-war Germany and beyond as honoured men in prestigious positions.

Description 'Strip naked; pull back the foreskin; turn; bend forward; spread your buttocks.' In the hands of a perverted military establishment generations of German young men have always done what they were told. And, it has got worse with time: during the Nazi era at least male doctors performed the degrading military 'medicals'; thereafter, as a bizarre result of 'equal opportunities', zealous women have taken over. Mental anguish due to such humiliation is widespread in society, but nobody seems to care. Protection of young men is not a priority. It is true, economic woes (not calls for human rights) will soon end conscription. But, on a smaller scale the abuse will continue - now with 'volunteers' as victims. MEDICAL RAPE presents a shocking story that might look like fictitious sadomasochistic porno. However, it isn't: it is a true account of state-authorised sexual abuse. Therefore, in the name of millions of defenceless young victims, the author calls for an unconditional apology for what they were exposed to by their own country. He also demands an immediate stop to further ill-treatment.

Description

A large part of Britain's care home sector has in recent years been outsourced to private companies. From time to time appalling conditions in some of these homes are disclosed to the public by undercover journalists. But, unfortunately, no significant change seems to happen as a result. Very soon it's all 'forgotten' and life goes back to 'normal'.

This book is different from many of these newspaper stories and TV documentaries. It is different because it's written by an insider with extensive personal knowledge of the profit-obsessed industry behind the abuse.

As a trained nurse Lars G Petersson has spent years working in British nursing homes - from Surrey in the south to Edinburgh in the north - and in abuse.uk he takes his reader on a detailed tour behind the curtains of a world where so many Britons end their lives in utter misery. By doing so, he paints a picture of not only shockingly low standards and abusive care but also of systematic staff exploitation, toothless regulators and a catastrophically flawed government control system.

Abuse.uk is a book about a failed system that betrays those it was meant to shelter and care for. It is also a book about a business that closes its ranks against the 'pestilential' dissident and supports the perpetrators' efforts to keep it all in the dark.

In a number of cases this has led to serious public debate and major improvements for vulnerable people.

Description

Ab 17 mussen sich deutsche Jungen laut Wehrpflichtgesetz wiederholten erniedrigenden Untersuchungen unterziehen. Bei uberwiegend weiblichen Arztinnen und deren Assistentinnen heisst es dann: nackt ausziehen, Hoden abtasten, Vorhaut zuruckschieben, umdrehen, bucken und Pobacken spreizen. Wie es einst Hitler machte, so zwingen deutsche Behorden der mannlichen Jugend heute immer noch sinnlose korperliche Untersuchungen auf, die ursprunglich nur zur Einschuchterung und Erschaffung gehorsamer Soldaten benutzt wurden. Als Folge davon sind bei den Mannern seelische Schaden weit verbreitet. Doch niemand will die Verantwortung ubernehmen. Alle drucken sich, nicht nur das Verteidigungsministerium, sondern auch die Arztekammern und die Gesundheitsbehorden. Mit diesem Buch wird nun ein Skandal gesellschaftlichen Ausmasses enthullt, uber den bisher als Tabu geschwiegen wurde.
