At 6’5, 450 lbs, Big Van Vader got his first national exposure in the American Wrestling Association (AWA). He went by the moniker Baby Bull, which was later changed to Bull Power. White honed his skills during this time, and his ring work improved significantly to the point that he was booked in a match with Stan Hansen for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship, where he was defeated. Although originally signed to All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), AJPW owner Giant Baba traded White’s contract over to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in 1987 after consideration. Upon joining NJPW, White was given the ring name Big Van Vader and began to wear a black wrestling mask. His new identity was based on a strong warrior of the same name from Japanese folklore. He was introduced as the crown jewel of the Takeshi Puroresu Gundan stable which was managed by Takeshi Kitano. Vader challenged Antonio Inoki, who had already defeated Riki Choshu, and defeated the worn-down Inoki. The pro-Inoki audience ri...

A female Soviet soldier has been captured by the Wehrmacht. 1941 The Wehrmacht actually had direct orders to kill any female soldiers they came after as they saw such a thing as unimaginable and degenerate. Do we know what happened to her? She was shot.  Given she obviously has not been shot yet, she would likely have been sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, where she likely died of starvation. The Germans didn't dare to kill her because she said "How dare you!" Female Soviet soldiers are one of the greatest examples of the myth of the "clean Wehrmacht" being tarnished. Several Wehrmacht generals were so insulted by fighting women that they ordered them to be executed immediately, including Güyher von Kluge and Walther von Reichenau. Because the Germans didn't have separate POW camps for women, if they weren't executed they were mostly handed over to the SS and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. She was very likely raped and murdered as th...

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...

Blood and Hatred, 1994 Seen here is a Hutu man showing the scars that he sustained during a machete attack. He was a prisoner in a concentration camp during the Rwandan mass killings, which saw Hutu militias kill what is thought to be 500,000 - 1,000,000 people in 3 months. The Rwandan Civil War was a brutal conflict that occurred in Rwanda between 1990 - 1994. It occurred between two ethnic groups, called the Hutus (majority) and the Tutsis (minority). It began when the Tutsi Rebel group, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, led an uprising against the Hutu government after the Hutus seized power in the 1950s. The fighting lasted for 4 years and was marked by extremely brutal killings and rape. In 1994, when the Hutu president was assassinated, Hutu extremists began to mass kill Tutsis and Hutus who did not support the mass killings. In 100 days, about 800,000 people were killed. Outside of Rwanda, intervention by other countries was slow and afterwards was criticised for not helping the situ...
