How Britain tortured Nazi PoWs: The horrifying interrogation methods that belie our proud boast that we fought a clean war
http://archive.is/CkEbO or http://web.archive.org/web/201210271531 ... n-war.html
The German SS officer was fighting to save himself from the gallows for a terrible war crime and might say anything to escape the noose. But Fritz Knöchlein was not lying in 1946 when he claimed that, in captivity in London, he had been tortured by British soldiers to force a confession out of him.
...
Of 3,573 prisoners who passed through Kensington Palace Gardens, more than 1,000 were persuaded to sign a confession or give a witness statement for use in war crimes prosecutions.
...
Of the 21 accused, 14 were hanged after a war-crimes trial in Hamburg. Many confessed only after being interrogated by Scotland and his men. In court, they protested that they had been starved, whipped and systematically beaten. Some said they had been menaced with red-hot pokers and ‘threatened with electrical devices’.
...
In his memoirs, he disclosed that a number of men were forced to incriminate themselves. A general was sentenced to death in 1946 after signing a confession at the Cage while, in Scotland’s words, ‘acutely depressed after the various examinations’.
...
A naval officer was convicted on the basis of a confession that Scotland said he had signed only after being ‘subject to certain degrading duties’.

Scotland also acknowledged that one of the men accused of the ‘Great Escape’ murders went to the gallows even though he had confessed after he had — in Scotland’s own words — been ‘worked on psychologically’. At his trial, the man insisted he had been ‘worked on’ physically as well.



In Germany the British had a torture centre at Bad Nenndorf:

The article seems to be egg-dancing around the issue of torture.

But it is in main-stream media, which is all that's required by wikipedia standards:

More on Bad Nenndorf:

British Torture at Bad Nenndorf - Johannes Heyne
https://codoh.com/library/document/5924/

SS General Oswald Pohl, right before his execution, explained his "inhuman" treatment by the British at Bad Nenndorf. SS officer Heinrich Steinmeyer also goes into great detail about his experiences at Bad Nenndorf in the above article

Also see this thread/article:
TORTURE: verifiable, acknowledged, damning. What Does It Mean for Revisionism?
viewtopic.php?t=11697

It discusses Rudolf Hoess and Josef Kramer's documented torture. On Hans Aumeier: whereas there is no actual documentation of his torture, David Irving argues that he was subjected to the same interrogators as Hoess. Aumeier's first confession of 29 June 1945 stated that he knew nothing of gas chambers and no inmate was gassed when he worked at Auschwitz. But on 25 July, Aumeier completely flip-flopped, writing in great detail about the alleged first gassing at Auschwitz and all the subsequently built alleged homicidal gas chambers at Birkenau. Mattogno in his "Bunkers of Auschwitz" book exposes Aumeier's fraudulent gassing testimony.

NOTE: I am taking a leave of absence from revisionism to focus on other things. At this point, the ball is in their court to show the alleged massive pits full of human remains at the so-called "extermination camps." After 8 decades they still refuse to do this. I wonder why...
