"Night and Fog." Historical Movie about German Concentration Camps in WWII

Last edited Mon Feb 6, 2023, 07:54 PM - Edit history (2)

I was looking at reviews of "Horror Films" then I realized the most evil movie & horrible movieI have ever seen, was a " documentary". The movie was a documentary of the Holocaust, called "Night and Fog". (30 minutes)
You can read reviews on Internet Movie Data Base, (IMBD) or get a copy at the local library.(IF YOU WANT) Warning those bodies are real, and the pictures, of the camps are real. ...And YES, IT IS A HORROR FILM
...... And you have been warned. Yes, it is evil, and one of the most evil films ever made. And it is a..........
.........."documentary" of German Concentration Camps... .... and it is totally real & honest.
AGAIN.........YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.!!!!!

1. I have seen many interviews with vets who liberated the camps

on You Tube. One thing that all of them remembered was the horrific stench a mile from the prison camp. The neighboring towns knew what this smell was, THEY ALL KNEW! It smelled of burning flesh, rotting bodies, filth and disease. The soldiers didn't know what to do since this was 100% unbelievable. Most of them threw up from the stench alone. In Bergen Belsen there was so much Typhus from overcrowding that some of the walking dead resorted to cannibalism since the dead bodies were all over the grounds. The soldiers went into one of the Nazi prison camp "hospitals" and found a completely conscience man nailed to a board standing upright and his intestines had been taken out and put on a table next to where he was standing. The soldiers had to leave him there and alerted coming troops and hopefully would be sending the poor man off to a real hospital. He likely died before this happened. Even Gen Patton puked at the sights amd smells. Most of the soldiers who liberated the camps were unable to speak about it for the rest of their lives, not even telling their family amd friends about what they saw. Many finally spoke about it 50 hears later and they still broke down and cried. Those images will never be forgotten and they will suffer as long as they live after witnessing the cruelty inflicted upon one human, millions of humans from others who were not so "human".

the comment about the horrific ..."stench" from the burning bodies...
This is it, & it absolutely real. This film is about the camps taken by the Nazis for their own history.
They thought they would win the war, and wanted a film to verify their win.....That is why this was made.

Except the very end, with a tractor doing its work. That was taken by the allies after they liberated the camps.

7. This is the liberator's testimony that I was writing about.....

This man is incredible, Curtis Whiteway. The scenes he witnessed are so vivid. His testimony of the Nazi experiment on that poor man is at the 2:38 mark. I can only watch it for a little while then resume it once I pull myself together. The entire testimony is worse than anyone can possibly imagine. "Horrid" doesn't begin to describe the inhumanity.

Parma Ohio. We were a brand new public HS and they had an experimental curriculum. I haven't seen it since, but the images stayed with me my whole life.

crud...You saw this movie before I did. I think I saw it in 78 or 79 (for the first time)

Every image has stayed with me my whole life too. ...Yes, it is educational is a very special way.

It explains clearly what the Nazi program was all about. (in a way that you will never forget)
And it is more ... "evil" than any movie I have ever seen. Guess what? Only 30 minutes.

WARNING: PERHAPS THE MOST EVIL MOVIE YOU WILL EVER WATCH...AND it is: TOTALLY REAL.


.............NO SPECIAL EFFECTS, NO FAKE THIS OR FAKE THAT...30 MINUTES. (that's it, that's all)

........................... YES, this is what Hitler was... "ALL ABOUT"................

Some deny the holocaust... Some openly brag about it.

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are in Charlottesville marching to "take back America".

When did the Nazis have America?

KKK Conservative boasting:

“We killed six million Jews the last time,” he answered. “Eleven million is nothing.”

Eisenhower wanted the Holocaust and death camps thoroughly documented because he knew there would be these evil scum who would try to deny it.

Yet Trump has his 6MWE and Camp Auschwitz followers. That's anti-denial in his own camp. (6 Million Wasn't Enough)
