Nazi Methods of Torture/Death
The Nazis, still renowned the world over for its horrendous mass killing methods, had many unconventional and inhumane techniques at killing large numbers of people. They needed to kill large numbers of people with few resources and few people who knew the truth. To successfully do this, the Nazis had to come up with extremely efficient methods of killing, and that was how concentration camps and death camps came into place.
The Nazi death camps were first introduced in the early years of World War II, and progressed as Germany became more victorious as more and more Jews and other 'subhumans' were being murdered. Auschwitz, a famous death camp, had just over a million victims murdered. The Nazis were clearly acting illegally by this point, so far that everyone already noticed it. It didn't really matter, however, as Germany had made it clear once they had gone to war. Concentration camp crematoriums no longer bothered to hide the ashes, the smell or the victims. Gas chamber victims were no longer buried properly, and death camps got so crowded that SS death head units just lined the victims up in lines and shot them in the head one by one. It wasn't a very hygiene method, but the Nazis didn't give a Jew!
Besides the killing, the Nazis did way worse things to their victims. Besides the common torture of inmates including whipping, punching, kicking and raping, the Nazi scientists also performed extremely brutal experiments on the prisoners. This included removing functional organs to see how long the patient lived afterwards, testing the pain thresholds of humans and practicing new surgery methods (without anesthesia). A famous Nazi doctor, Joseph Mengele, performed horrible experiments on his victims. He was known as the 'Angel of Death' because of all the deaths that occurred when he executed his experiments on them. After the war, he fled and was never found.
The handful of leaders in this terrible portion of the Nazi rule should, in my opinion, have been sentenced to death. Many of the leaders were cowardly men in person, including Hitler, and they committed suicide rather than face the humiliation of defeat.
