I earn £50 as a naked cleaner - my partner is okay with it but some of my clients have creepy requests A woman who works as a naked cleaner has revealed the weirdest parts of the job - including clients who are also naked. Lottie Rae, 32, took up the unusual role to make some extra money in 2017, and charges £50 an hour - estimating she's made a few thousand pounds over the years. The British cleaner says in the six years she's been working as a naked cleaner she's had a range of clients - including some who just want company, naturists, and others who 'hope for something more'. The cleaner, who describes herself as 'free-spirited' says the role has made her feel more body confident and even says it's empowering. Lottie said: 'There's a fair few people who are creepy - a handful of the guys I clean for book cleaners on the premise they will get something else.

Thirty-two frightening snapshots of a hanging. And no one knew who the victims were – until now

Thirty-two frightening snapshots of a hanging. And no one knew who the victims were – until now. The 32 black-and-white snapshots were like frames from a disturbing home movie —  four men marched to the gallows and hanged one by one. There’s a large crowd of onlookers present. Many are in military uniforms. Two priests accompany the condemned and raise crucifixes for them to kiss moments before execution. The scene is the stone courtyard of a big brick building where people are looking out glass-less windows and thronging the rooftop. Many bystanders have cameras. In one picture, a doctor with a stethoscope checks a victim for a heartbeat after he’s been hanged. When my colleague, copy editor Panfilo Garcia, brought the pictures to me and the Retropolis desk, he wondered whether anyone would like them as a donation. He had gotten them from his sister, but knew little about them. They were curled and a little yellowed from age. There were no captions. Thirty-two frightening snapshot...

American mutilation of Japanese war dead

Image
American mutilation of Japanese war dead Brutality is common place in a war of attrition. The miX of Japanese war crimes and the extreme hatred of the Japanese in America led to things like this as a coping measure for soldiers. The pacific war is so incredibly fucked and not nearly enough people know about it and the wide range of atrocities that happened in it. People always talk about the horrible cost of human life in Hiroshima and Nagasaki but know nothing about the Tokyo firebombings or the millions of murdered Chinese civilians. During World War II, some members of the United States military mutilated dead Japanese service personnel in the Pacific theater. The mutilation of Japanese service personnel included the taking of body parts as "war souvenirs" and "war trophies". Teeth and skulls were the most commonly taken "trophies", although other body parts were also collected. The phenomenon of "trophy-taking" was widespread enough that disc...

The Battle of Bataan

Image
The original caption says "Japanese Prisoners captured on Bataan being led blindfolded back to Headquarters for questioning" Found in the US Army Official WWII Green books. Very interesting photo, you can see how exhausted the American soldier leading them is. The Battle of Bataan was a very rough slugfest for everyone involved The Battle of Bataan (Tagalog: Labanan sa Bataan; January 7 – April 9, 1942) was fought by the United States and the Philippine Commonwealth against Japan during World War II. The battle represented the most intense phase of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines during World War II. In January 1942, forces of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy invaded Luzon along with several islands in the Philippine Archipelago after the bombing of the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. The commander in chief of the U.S. and Filipino forces in the islands, General Douglas MacArthur, consolidated all of his Luzon-based units on the Bataan Peninsula to fight agai...

The body of a Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima island

The body of a Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima island. The battle of Iwo Jima is the only time that American casualties exceeded Japanese in World War II, February 1945 by Eugen W. Smith.  The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was a major battle in which the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and United States Navy (USN) landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during World War II. The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, had the purpose of capturing the island with its two airfields: South Field and Central Field. The Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with a dense network of bunkers, hidden artillery positions, and 18 km (11 mi) of tunnels.The American ground forces were supported by extensive naval artillery and had complete air supremacy provided by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators throughout the battle. The five-week battle saw some of the fiercest and bloodiest fightin...

Two Chinese soldiers guarding a captured.Japanese soldier in Changde, Hunan Province, China

Two Chinese soldiers guarding a captured.Japanese soldier in Changde, Hunan Province, China // Nov-Dec 1943 Most ironic thing was that the KMT was encouraged to take prisoners to use as bargaining chip with Japan. When Red Cross went to Japan, Japan straight up said no Japanese soldiers were taken and those captured aren't Japanese (Basically implying that a real Japanese wouldnt surrender) The troops viewed every POW as a coward, because they themselves were taught that surrendering is cowardice and a disgrace, they were taught to not surrender at all. This characterized the Imperials as brutal to POWs. Women's rights in Imperial Japan was abysmal, where poor families can basically sell their daughters to brothels as legalized slaves. This way of life extended into their conquered territories as the comfort women. However, the overarching cause for these is the military, who sought to popularize their rule by claiming tenets to nationalism and racism, and combined with a corru...

German soldiers taken prisoner at Stalingrad, 1943

German soldiers taken prisoner at Stalingrad, 1943 About 1 in 8 of them survived being pows and made it back to Germany. Of course, it depends on precisely what time frame you're talking about and who you're asking(the Russians had a much lower number, of course), but the German government, after the war, estimated about 1 in 3, with the last prisoner returning home in 1956. No question, though. It was a lot. The first thought I had when I saw this picture was "things will not go well for you." Seriously? I thought the number was more like 1 in 2. That may be close for the overall German prisoners during the war, but for just the German prisoners taken at Stalingrad, only 5,000 of 91,000 POWs taken ever returned to Germany. dude what... those are EXTERMINATION CAMPS, im talking about surviving concentration camps. HUGE difference! Also, The jewish population in europe Pre-ww2 was 9.5 million. After ww2 it was 3.8 million, so 6 million were killed by the nazis. That me...

Female Soviet soldier in German captivity 1941

Female Soviet soldier in German captivity 1941 Were enemy female soldiers exectuted by the Nazis? Unfortunately female red army soldiers were often raped and killed by the fascists or just killed. My grandmother who fought as a sniper with partisans throughout the war in Belarus and Ukraine would often tell me about her experiences She would talk about how many of her female colleagues would carry improvised suicide devices, or cyanide capsule but those were extremely rare. When they would hit the rail lines transporting POWS.to garner more manpower would often recruit the few surviving women,commissars, and Cossacks into special "retribution or revenge" pacts where if they while on expedition outside of the swamps where they operate from, if they encounter any German settlers they would brutally torture and kill the family, often drenching the occupied homes, blood, and other bodily materials. She would say how they were all fuelled by hate and rage, fighting with little to ...

An unfortunate Soviet female soldier lies dead, shortly after being executed by her German captors. 1941

An unfortunate Soviet female soldier lies dead, shortly after being executed by her German captors. 1941. Red Army female soldiers did not have a life to envy. The Germans called them "rifle broads". I believe there was actually a German Directive to kill female soldiers outright, similar to the "commando order". Their fellow Russian male soldiers called them "field mattresses".  The propaganda machine is quick to replace that with the timeless woman-knight archtype ('polianitsy"). Behind the lie of smiling hyper-snipers was a war against life itself. Nobody knows how many times it ended like this. You see a photograph like this and wonder about the human mind on the other side of the lens. Was he documenting reality, possibly the nihilism of war? Or is she a hunting trophy. Imagine how many hands and minds a photo from early 1940's, taken by a nobody halfway around the world and long dead, of 1 subject out of tens of millions, has to go throu...

Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today

Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today. During the reign of Charlemagne women were impaled on sharpened poles put in the vagina. Slowly over days the pole would travel the length of the body through the organs causing tremendous pain, simply because a woman was found collecting herbs in the forest. She was labeled a witch. Their screams could be heard for days as an example to those who would not accept the foreign faith. Christianity became so popular because of sheer terror of what would happen if it wasn't accepted. And people think the Nazis were horrible.... Read more  This is still happening today in the form of collective social pressure.

Female Kurdish fighter from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (ygs Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan, PKK) captured by Turkish Army soldiers. Gassed and poisoned by Saddam. Shot and blown up by Turks. Betrayed by America. Kurds remain a rock of stability in a sea of violence and mistrust. A brave and stubborn people, wanting a home to call their OWn. I support Kurdish independence and freedom. Very hard to say any administration has done well in this region of the world. I agree, it was tragic when the Obama administration set a hard and fast withdrawal date from Irag. Resulted in part to the rise of ISIL. But compared to uncle Joe, the guy seems like Churchill. There are different Kurdish groups, though all want their own nation carved out of other countries, so that is going to be a violent struggle for the ages. Not really that easy to pick good guy over bad guy here. But the Kurds were one of the fevw to effectively fight ISIL. The Turks, well, the Ottomans didn't seem to have an issue...

Two engineers, trapped on top of a burning wind turbine, hug eachother. One jumped off, the other stayed. This picture is from Ooltgensplaat, the Netherlands, in 2013. This wind turbine caught fire as two technicians were working on it, and there really wasn't much they could do once the blaze got going. In this picture, the two embrace before one tries his luck at jumping almost 200 feet to his death. The other tried crawling down through the tube, only to get trapped inside. They were 19 and 21 years old.... Read story  October 31, 2013 (Netherlands) – Two young mechanics, ages 19 and 21, died when a fire broke out in a wind turbine where they were performing  routine maintenance.  The tragedy occurred at Deltawind’s Piet de Wit wind farm in the Netherlands, but highlights the hazards associated with fires caused by wind turbines.

The Japanese Army forced 75,000 Allied prisoners to march 65 miles through the Philippines

The Japanese Army forced 75,000 Allied prisoners to march 65 miles through the Philippines "They called it a ' death march ' because of the way they died. If you stopped on the road, you were killed. If you had a malaria attack, they killed you. If you had to stop to defecate, they killed you. If you just couldn't take another step, they killed you."⁠ After Japan defeated the U.S. in the Battle of Bataan in April 1942, The Japanese Army forced 75,000 Allied prisoners to march 65 miles through the Philippines. ⁠After nearly 80,000 American and Filipino soldiers surrendered to the Japanese following the excruciating three-month Battle of Bataan, there were even greater horrors in store for them. The prisoners were forced to march more than 60 miles through the tropical heat of the Philippines with almost no water and just one bowl of rice for the entire week. And those who survived the marching were treated to worse brutality by their captors. The luckier victims w...
