'I liked to shoot everything - women, kids... it was kind of sport': Secret Nazi tapes reveal how ordinary German soldiers were responsible for war crimes and not just SS


Secret recordings made by British intelligence during the Second World War have revealed for the first time the horrific atrocities carried out by everyday German soldiers.
For years the blame for horrific war crimes, rape and genocide were laid at the hands of the SS and Hitler's right hand men but a new book details how widespread the barbarity went. 
Transcripts taken from hidden microphones on prisoners of war have been collated for the disturbing book Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing and Dying: The Secret Second World War Tapes of German POWs.
Revelations: The new book reveals how soldiers like this one callously murdered the innocent and then joked about it with fellow soldiers

Between 1940 and 1945 the British and Americans bugged about 13,000 German and several hundred Italian soldiers of all ranks and services - many of which in the Trent Park detention centre for POWs in north London.
It was hoped the recordings would reveal military secrets of potentially strategic importance, instead they catalogued open and uncensored conversations about war experiences - often as to boast.
Evil: It appears the atrocities carried out by the SS and Adolf Hitler's henchmen were a lot more widespread and done by ordinary soldiers

They detail not only the extreme level of violence but a disturbing sense of enjoyment from the soldiers.
One example of many recounts:  'There was an event in the market square, crowds of people, speeches given. We really sprayed them! That was fun!' 
Another reveals the following conversation: 'We once did a strafing near Eastbourne. We flew up and saw a big castle; there seemed to be a ball or something – anyhow a lot of ladies in evening dress and a band. 
'The first time we flew past; then we attacked and kept at it. Boy oh boy, was that fun.'
Another reveals: 'I loved dropping bombs. It makes you feel all tingly, a great feeling. It’s as good as shooting someone down.' 
The book, which has been compiled by German historians Soenke Neitzel and Harald Welzer has been translated in to English for the first time, dispelling myths that German soldiers were not responsible for such war crimes.
It offers a bleak inside view of World War II and in doing so, they destroy once and for the myth of a 'clean' Wehrmacht - the German name for the armed forced.

The soldiers talk about their views of the enemy and their own leaders, discuss the details of combat missions and trade astonishingly detailed accounts of the atrocities they both witnessed and committed.
War crimes: The likes of Josef Mengele (left) known as 'The Angel of Death', Rudolf Hoss and Josef Kramer were well known war criminals but hidden microphones reveal how Wehrmacht soldiers were embroiled in the atrocities

One passage reads: Zotlöterer: 'I shot a Frenchman from behind. He was riding a bicycle.'

Weber: 'At close range?'

Zotlöterer: 'Yes.'

Heuser: 'Did he want to take you prisoner?'

Zotlöterer: 'Nonsense. I wanted the bicycle.'
The material contains disturbing accounts of sexual abuse, rape and torture as well.
Disturbing: Women and children were not spared by trigger happy soldiers, some of whom described killing as 'fun'

In one section a passage attributed to Reimbold reads: 'In the first officers' prison camp where I was being kept here, there was a really stupid guy from Frankfurt , a young lieutenant, a young upstart.  
'And he said: 'Oh, we caught this female spy who had been running around in the neighborhood.
'First we hit her in the t**s with a stick and then we beat her rear end with a bare bayonet. 
Then we f***** her, and then we threw her outside and shot at her. When she was lying there on her back, we threw grenades at her.
'Every time one of them landed near her body, she screamed.' 
'And just think, there were eight German officers sitting at that table with me, and they all broke out laughing.'

Ginger Helps Control Diabetes


When you are detected with diabetes, you feel like you a doomed to a lifetime of diet control, pills and artificial insulin injections. This is because Diabetes is never fully curable, it has to be controlled. But if you are envisaging a future where you would have to take insulin injections daily, then here is some good news for you. A compilation of recent studies says that ginger helps control diabetes.
Ginger has many health benefits even otherwise. But the fact that ginger controls diabetes specifically is very good news for many who suffer from high blood sugar related complications. Diabetes type 2 patients are specifically benefited by ginger. Let us see how ginger helps diabetics.
Ginger Helps Control Diabetes



Ways In Which Ginger Controls Diabetes:
Improves Digestion: In diabetes type 2, your pancreas stops producing sufficient insulin and thus sugar cannot be absorbed into your cells normally. The pancreas also has digestive functions apart from secreting insulin and that too gets affected. As a result, you suffer from chronic indigestion. Ginger controls diabetes side effects like indigestion and irregular bowel movements. Good digestion and prevention of acidity is one of the many health benefits of ginger. This improves your quality of life.
Inhibits Cataract Progression: Losing your eyesight is one of the many fears associated with diabetes. An independent study conducted on diabetic mice showed that, ginger extracts not only help delay the formation of cataract but also delay the development of cataract in a patient who has already got it. The health benefits of ginger includes improving eyesight. So if you have diabetes, foods like ginger is on your must have list.
Absorbs Blood Sugar: The main trouble of diabetes is that foods that are broken down into sugar do not get absorbed into the body cells due to lack of insulin. According to a study conducted by University of Sydney, ginger helps the body's cells absorb sugar without the help of insulin. This is a revolutionary discovery that would help control diabetes without insulin injections. The gingerols present in ginger control diabetes or the high blood sugar levels of an individual by aiding the absorption of sugar into the muscles.
Ginger is one of foods that control diabetes naturally. This research by an Australian University was conducted on mice. Many diabetics hope that ginger can control diabetes on a long term basis. This would help reduce the dependence on insulin if not eliminate it completely. Have you tried having ginger extracts to control your diabetes? Do tell us if it helped.

Kinds Of Yeast Infection


Yeast infections are mostly caused by an organism called Candida albicans also known as Candidiasis yeast-infection. Most of the people suffer from at least one kind of infection in their lifetime. But, men and women suffer differently. There are also some common kinds of yeast infections that you might suffer from. Check on the various types of infections and stay careful if you develop any of the symptoms.
Kinds Of Yeast Infection

Skin- Skin infections happen to be one of the most common kinds of infection that people suffer from. Yeast lives normally in the body under normal conditions. But, if the Ph balance in the body gets disturbed due to some reason or any other health problems then it might also lead to yeast infections in the body.
Skin infection is generally developed in areas like groin, breasts, underarms, lower abdomen, between the fingers, folds of buttocks, toenails etc. Any cuts or sores that does not heal or an itchy skin might be an indication of it.
Oral- One of the most common kinds of infection is oral infection. Many a times you will find itchy white patches on the lips of some people which is a kind of infection. It also develops in places like cheek, the roof of the mouth, gums and tongue. You usually have problem while eating and swallowing food. It is caused mostly in women due to the intake of birth control pills. These pills reduce the amount of good bacteria in the body, thus allowing yeast to grow as a pathogen.
Children- The infection passes into kids after the delivery or through breast feeding. And, the overuse of antibiotics also increases the chances of yeast infection in kids as it kills all the good bacteria in the body. They have a relatively weak immune system and are hence less resistant to all kinds of infection.
Men- Diabetic men are more prone to the development of a yeast infection. The sugar in the blood accelerates the growth of yeast. This kind of infection generally develops in the private parts of their body and can even spread from their partner.
Women- Women can develop infections due to the use of birth control pills, menstruation, weak immune system and hormonal changes. Also during pregnancy women develop yeast infections in some of the private parts of the body as the balance between acid and yeast gets distorted during this period.
Consult with a doctor immediately if any part of your body itches and you develop sores and redness over the area. These all might just be the symptoms of an infection.

Why Is Too Much Calcium Harmful?


Excess of anything is harmful. Be it calcium or any other nutrient, mineral, vitamin or protein. Its requirements varies depending on a person's gender and age. Calcium is also very good for your bones. And that is what makes it an essential part of your diet. But, the age old conception of more the better needs to be shred now. Here are a few reasons as to why excess calcium can be bad.
Why Is Too Much Calcium Harmful?

Women and children have more calcium requirement than men. This is because children need a lot of calcium for their growth. And women need more calcium because of pregnancy, lactation and also otherwise. Men need about 1000-1200mg of calcium every day, women need 1200-1500mg and children need about 1300mg of calcium every day. And the maximum calcium that you can have is 2500gm. Let us see what happens when there is an excess calcium intake.
  • Excess calcium might cause nausea and vomiting. Thus when you feel dizzy at times this might just be an effect of calcium. There is a need to analyze such medical conditions with your doctor.
  • The effects of excess calcium intake has also been linked to an increased chance of prostrate cancer. Hence, people already suffering from this disease should avoid excessive consumption of calcium in their diets. And also if you have cancer running in your genes its better not to have foods too rich in calcium. Too much consumption of calcium in the blood stream is thus harmful.
  • Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone tissue and its depletion over time. An excess intake of calcium might not be good for your bones, but just the opposite. Excessive calcium degenerates the bones and causes them to age early. That is why even if you love all calcium rich products like milk and its products, you should never take too much of it.
  • Excess calcium intake may also cause a lot of stomach problems like constipation, loss of appetite and abdominal pain. It might even cause frequent urination problems. This is quite harmful as your body gets dehydrated very easily and you also lose a lot of salt from your body that becomes hard to replace.
  • Too much calcium intake releases calcium into the urine that causes crystals of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate to form in the kidney. This is what leads to kidney stones. And this is one of the most harmful effects of calcium intake.
So, consult your doctor and restrict yourself to a minimal amount of calcium intake as required by your body.

Detect The Early Signs Of Alzheimer's


The 21st of September is celebrated as World Alzheimer's Day. We all know that Alzheimer's is the most crippling form of dementia or mental disorder than makes a person forget who they are. That is why it is important to detect Alzheimer's in the early stages. The test for this disease is not a very simple one because the main symptom of Alzheimer's is forgetfulness.
Detect The Early Signs Of Alzheimer's



Some Facts:
  • The first recorded case of Alzheimer's was found on 4th November, 1906 by a German Psychiatrist named Alois Alzheimer.
  • Alzheimer's symptoms are the most common form of dementia in the world right now and about 36 million people are suffering from it.
  • One new case of dementia is detected somewhere in the world every 4 seconds. And by 2050, more than 150 million people in the world will be suffering from this unfortunate disease.
Testing For Alzheimer's:
  • Now how do you draw the difference between normal cases of absent-mindedness and this deadly disease? On World Alzheimer's Day, let us find out how we can conclusively identify the symptoms of Alzheimer's.
  • Memory loss interferes with day to day life. We all tend to forget certain things in everyday. But when the loss of memory interferes with your daily tasks, then it is time to worry.
  • Not finding the right word. Sometimes, the correct word for a situation or person is at the tip of your tongue but you can't recall it. If this extends to whole sentences and difficulty in framing thoughts, then it is an early symptom of Alzheimer's.
  • Inability to do daily chores. Let us assume that you prepare a particular dish pretty regularly. One day, you try to prepare that dish and suddenly realise that you have forgotten the recipe and procedure to make it totally. This could be a sinister symptom of Alzheimer's.
  • Forgetting names that you knew very well. Now most of us cannot recall the names of out high school classmates. However, if you forget the name of your son or husband? Then it is something to worry about.
  • Confusion in place and time. Suppose you suddenly come out of daze and then cannot recall what time of the day it is, then you are probably in the first stage of Alzheimer's.
These are some of the early symptoms of Alzheimer's that you must take caution from. Have you experienced any?

What Happens When You Sit For Long Hours?


Most of us are accustomed to sit for long hours at our office desk. But did you know that there are various health hazards of it. Yes, sitting is not always relaxation. If you have to sit as long as 8-10 hours in the same position, then that might have serious consequences. Here are a few explanations as to why sitting for long hours can be bad for health.
What Happens When You Sit For Long?


Back Ache- Most of the times you will find people complaining of an acute backache. Well, this is nothing but the stiffness of the muscles that is caused because of sitting for a long time. If you sit for long then it might either be a low backache or an ache through the whole spine. Avoid such health hazards of sitting by consulting a doctor.
Disrupts Metabolic Functions- Some recent researches have proved that if you sit for long hours then the metabolic system in your body gets disrupted. There are worse sides to it. The disrupted metabolic system leads to decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This cholesterol is good for the body and the decreased levels of it gives rise to health problems.
Increased Chances Of Diabetics- Sitting for long hours has serious health hazards. It causes a decreased insulin sensitivity. And this affects women more than men. Women who sit for long hours have an increased chance of incurring diabetics than men. Inflammation is also increased due to the same. So, if you are at home then it is better that you avoid sitting in your leisure time. Engage yourself in other activities like cleaning tghe house and try to stay fit.
Neck Pain- If you have a neck pain due to sitting erect for long hours, then you must immediately go for a medical consultation. This might be spondilytis. It happens primarily due to the inflammation of the vertebral joints. So, why not try a casual walk sometimes to avoid sitting for long hours at a long stretch.
Die Early- Recent researches have proved that the more long you sit, the faster you may die. This is because the body goes into a complete shutdown. You also develop higher level of blood fats and lower levels of good cholesterol if you sit for long. These increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Thus there are increased chances of a heart attack and other fatal diseases.
You can avoid all the bad affects of sitting for long by exercising on a regular basis.

உலக அல்சீமர் தினம்: முதிய குழந்தையை பாதுகாப்போம்

More Indians Falling Prey Alzheimer Disease




வயோதிகம் பெரும்பாலான முதியவர்களை குழந்தைகளாக மாற்றிவிடுகிறது. வயது அதிகரிப்பதால் முதியவர்களுக்கு மூளையின் ஆற்றல் குறைகிறது. எழுபது வயதிற்கு மேல் மூளையின் புறணியானது சுருங்கத் தொடங்குவதால், முதியவர்கள் தங்களது ஞாபக சக்தியையும் சிந்திக்கும் திறனையும் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக இழக்கின்றனர்.
அல்சீமர் எனப்படும் நினைவுத் திறன் குறைபாடு நோய்க்கு உலகம் முழுவதும் 18 முதல் 19 மில்லியன் நோயாளிகள் நினைவுத்திறன் குறைபாட்டினால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாக தகவல்கள் வெளியாகியுள்ளன. அல்சீமர் நோய் பற்றிய விழிப்புணர்வு பெரும்பாலோனோருக்கு இருப்பதில்லை. அவர்களுக்கு விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்படுத்தும் வகையில் செப்டம்பர் 21 ம் நாள் உலக அல்சீமர் தினமாக உலகம் முழுவதும் அனுஷ்டிக்கப்படுகிறது.
இந்தியாவில் உள்ள 60 வயதுக்கு மேற்பட்டவர்களில் 20 ல் ஒருவரும், 80 வயதை எட்டியவர்களில் 5ல் ஒருவரும் அல்சீமர் நோயினால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டிருப்பதாக தகவல்கள் வெளியாகியுள்ளன. ஆண்களை விட பெண்களே இந்த நோயினால் அதிகம் பாதிக்கப்படுவதாக தெரிவிக்கிறார் ஏசியன் இன்ஸ்டிடிடுயூட் ஆப் மெடிகல் சயின்ஸ்சின் நரம்பியல் பிரிவு தலைவர் நஜீப் ரஹ்மான். 2010 ம் ஆண்டு நாடுமுழுவதும் நினைவுத் திறன் குறைபாடு நோய்க்கு 3.7 மில்லியன் மக்கள் பாதிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தனர். இது 2030 ம் ஆண்டு இரட்டிப்பாகும் என்றும் அவர் எச்சரிக்கிறார்.

உடல் ஆரோக்கியத்திற்காக உட்கொள்ளப்படும் காய்கறிகள் மறதிநோய் எனப்படும் அல்சீமர் நோய் ஏற்படாமல் தடுக்கிறது என்று சமீபத்திய ஆய்வு ஒன்றில் கண்டறியப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதில் உள்ள சத்தான கொழுப்புகளும்,காய்கறிகளில் உள்ள தாவர எண்ணெய்களும்தான் அல்சீமரை தடுக்கிறது என்கின்றனர் ஆய்வாளர்கள்.
சிகாகோவில் உள்ள ஆய்வாளர்கள் 65 வயதிற்கு மேற்பட்ட 815 நபர்களிடம் இந்த ஆய்வினை மேற்கொண்டனர். அவர்களுக்கு உயர்தர சத்துக்கள் நிறைந்த காய்கறிகள், பால் பொருட்களை கொடுத்து சோதனை செய்தனர். அதில் வியப்பூட்டும் மாற்றம் ஏற்பட்டது. 80 சதவிகிதம் வரை அல்சீமர் பாதிப்புகள் எதுவும் ஏற்படவில்லை. காய்கறிகளில் உள்ள நல்ல கொழுப்புகள் ரத்த நாளங்களில் உள்ள கெட்ட கொழுப்புகளை நீக்கிவிடுவதாகவும் ஆய்வாளர்கள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர்.
