I recall some documentaries showing small items made with human skin, or actual tattos, but who knows... Surely the story would have worked better showing the work of some "experimenter" in Mengele style (I remember a great Uncle Creepy) story based on this.<br />Sad to say, the majority of men like Sterne did not receive proper punishment, not to mention highly useful and celebrated guys like Von Braun who exploited slavery work of prisoners<br />By the way, I have a feeling this is not a concentration camp for Jews, but resembles one of the early structures for dissidents or political opponents. <br />@Brad S.: I don't have the TZ episode you mention, what's the season? I only remember the U-Boote episode, kinda similar.J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-56049804309339117122014-12-15T19:10:53.197-06:002014-12-15T19:10:53.197-06:00Similar to the Twilight Zone episode where the for...Similar to the Twilight Zone episode where the former Kommandant is tried for his crimes by ghosts of his victims...Maybe Rod Serling read horror comics?Brad S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04859168410639247441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-38840009511200425352014-12-15T14:50:43.506-06:002014-12-15T14:50:43.506-06:00A heart with an arrow through it?

A giant, comedic anchor?<br /><br />I've never been the biggest fan of horror stories that bring in the Holocaust, but they do serve a purpose, especially at the time with the cold war looming. In reality, many of those associated with these atrocities got away, in one way or another, by their own hand, or just being taken by the war. These kind of stories give people the sense that justice will prevail, when we all known that, many times, it does not.<br /><br />Then again, it has the habit of minimizing the true horror.<br /><br />Even more horrific -- old Ludwig looks a bit like the Skipper in page 3!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-11031986410221496462014-12-15T14:20:27.698-06:002014-12-15T14:20:27.698-06:00I'm currently doing a course at the former Dac...I'm currently doing a course at the former Dachau concentration camp near where I teach, so this was an interesting (if ludicrous!) offering.Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-89397203530412578282014-12-15T11:28:28.789-06:002014-12-15T11:28:28.789-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.com
