Irish famine maybe, probably somewhere in the middle of the Isle where there were no ships that could carry you to America and every person you passed in the empty, once lush lands, was malnourished and dying. Disease ripping through an already tiny population, while you watched every ounce of food that could've saved your children being shipped off across the irish sea to feed people who've despised you for centuries. Must've felt like the end of the world

That pool was only accessible to SS men and certain privileged Aryan prisoners employed as inmate-funcionaries in the camp. The presence of the swimming pool does not say anything about the conditions for Jewish inmates in Auschwitz, and does not challenge the existence of an extermination program with its proper facilities in Auschwitz II.

>The concentration of so much fighting in such a small area devastated the land, resulting in miserable conditions for troops on both sides. Rain, combined with the constant tearing up of the ground, turned the clay of the area to a wasteland of mud full of human remains. Shell craters became filled with a liquid ooze, becoming so slippery that troops who fell into them or took cover in them could drown. Forests were reduced to tangled piles of wood by constant artillery-fire and eventually obliterated.[87] The effect on soldiers in the battle was devastating and many broke down with shell shock.
>A French lieutenant at Verdun, who would be killed by a shell, wrote in his diary on 23 May 1916, "Humanity is mad. It must be mad to do what it is doing. What a massacre!

Verdun without a doubt in my mind
The sheer amount of unattended corpses in such a relatively small battlefield would have been atrocious. I believe the soldiers said, marching into Verdun, you could smell it before you saw any sign of battle. On top of that it had the highest number of shells dropped per square meter in any battle in history. Very few ways to keep your sanity safe there.

At least the Jews got fed regularly until '45. During the ACW prisoners were lucky to get fed at all. A lot of the Southern POW camps were notorious for being more deadly than being on the battlefield. Being in a Japanese POW camp was even more deadly than that.

Duty compelled them to move on up to the line, and when two days later they passed down that way the wretched man was still there; but only his head was visible and he was raving mad."

I'm having a hard time deciding whether Stalingrad or Verdun/Passchendaele were worse.
Stalingrad was terrible for it's combatants fighting as if they were rag-tag survivors in some macabre post apocalyptic frozen hellscape. Always low on food and supplies, constantly pinned down in basements and ruined buildings.
The big two of the Western Front were like a churning bloodbath of mulched, rotten earth and constant explosives raining down on your head. Not to mention all the horrible incidental ways you could die other than getting shot/blown up.

Looking at this, I'm so fucking glad that I live on the beautiful norwegian countryside.
Electrified swamps in the WW1-esque Iran-Iraq war were pretty metal. They would let the enemy creep up in their boats, fire an artillery barrage so all the men would jump in the water, then fry them with a jerry rigged power grid. In the morning, they would collect the bodies and then create a road out of them for their tanks to advance.

Getting blasted with high levels of radiation shatters the chromosomes in your body, you will only stay alive as long as your currently living cells will last, they can not successfully replicate any longer. If you are blasted with enough radiation, you will be essentially already be dead, you are conscious and seemingly unharmed, but your body is suddenly unable to sustain itself for perhaps three months under intense medical supervision.
This means you will essentially rot away, alive, until your organs fail. Your skin falls of, your eyes rot out, your brain falls to pieces, and slowly but surely the last remaining living cells in your body die and that's the end of you. That was the fate of those blasted by radiation at Chernobyl, and in other radioactive incidents.

I never really understood how this works. Most enzymes in your body have a lifespan of few minutes to a couple of hours until they stop functioning and need to be replaced. But if your chromosomes are destroyed, wouldn't that mean that your body can no longer produce new enzymes? That would be certain death in a matter of minutes. Or are the chromosomes just incapable of replication, but still transcribable for RNA polymerase?

Plenty of places and events have been much more worse than hell
>Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
>Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
>Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
>Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
>Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

They asked Austria-Hungary to declare war SOON while the international community was on their side. If they had invaded Serbia days after the assassination then their may not have been a war. Instead Austria-Hungary waited and really screwed over itself and Germany.

I don't want to sound like a retard or something, but sometimes I get the impression that we are truly living in some kind of hell realm.
Sometimes the amount of suffering seems out of control.

Not on one day tho. At Hiroshima the blast killed approximately 75.000 people, while 255.000 would die in total by the end of the year due to radiation.
The first day of the Somme saw the loss of over 80.000 men (Brits, French and German included).
It's a close cal, but the sad record still goes to the Somme.

Many places in history were atrocious. And right now, in this very moment, there are a lot of people being tortured beyond our wildest dreams in many parts of the world (prisoners of ISIS, prisoners on North Korea labor-camps, women used in forced prostitution on Russia and Ukraine, mutilated girls and soldiers in Africa). It makes me sad and sick even to think about it.
But, to give you just one example, lets see some of the Japanese Unit 731 “works”.
“Testimonies from participants shed some light about parts of the experiments. An anonymous medical assistant described in a 1995 New York Times interview his first vivisection:”
>"The fellow knew that it was over for him, and so he didn't struggle when they led him into the room and tied him down. But when I picked up the scalpel, that's when he began screaming. I cut him open from the chest to the stomach, and he screamed terribly, and his face was all twisted in agony. He made this unimaginable sound, he was screaming so horribly. But then finally he stopped. This was all in a day's work for the surgeons, but it really left an impression on me because it was my first time.”

This dude is talking out of his ass, of course your chromosomes do not simply all die. They get damaged, if they get damaged to a degree where the cell can not function, it dies. If the DNA gets damaged slightly the cell can give you some cancer later, or get picked off by your immune system. Not nearly all cells get damaged at all, even in high exposures, gamma radiation is relatively shallow in its most destructive effects.
What I do not get is how they managed to keep him alive. Of course the skin will rot away or straight out die through cell autolysis, but it can be "replaced". His bone marrow was also certainly fucked, but he got blood transfusions afaik. But at those dosages the mucous membranes in his intestines could not have possibly survived. People who have been blasted with so much, like the ones in Chernobyl, die from some really nasty diarrhea, because their intestines can not resorb the water they throw into the digestive system.
But this is rather a question for /sci/ I think.

It's not worse than before, well, maybe a bit compared to 20-30 years ago, but the main thing is that the mediafocus is entirely on all the terror and horror. It's understandable that someone would feel like this, but the fact is that shock and horror sells. It's important to separate the news from your life, at least a couple of days a week. Turn off the tv, don't reed the news until a day after and go hug a cat.

>The truth is that people think pointing out the crimes of communists is 'uncool'
No they don't.
Maybe if you hang out on RevLeftor something.
Are you implying that the USSR was not a hated enemy and that 'Communism' in the minds of most westerners doesn't still mean gulags, secret police, and mass executions?
>>1307093
Well the northern industrial towns, widnes, st helens, ext. Where described as hell on earth around 1890s. In a report on conditions. Close packed housing, factory smoke blocked sunlight all year round. It was reported nothing grew in the area, the water and air was poisoned by chemical emissions. Acid in the atmosphere rotted the teeth and destroyed the digestion of the inhabitants. It was dark, stank, dirty, bare, the inhabitants suffering in pain and poverty died early. Sounds like hell.

Not that guy and he was being an melodramatic faggot but I honestly believe that most founders of modern democracy would shoot themselves in the mouth if they saw how people were abusing their privilege as citizens while performing none of the duties that are necessary to keep a democracy from falling apart.

That being said, my vote also goes to either ww1 (Verdun/Passchendale) ww2 (Gulags, Nanking) or Rwanda 1994 just cause I imagine genocide to be bad enough if it's done with industrial equipment, but immeasurably more fucked if it's people getting hacked up with machetes. Just gore and screams and gore.

Ok let's fix this. The radiation makes the water in your body convert to all manner of combinations of H's and O's, but the most deadly is what they call a "reactive oxygen species" that is basically an oxygen with a free radical. That oxygen doesn't give a shit about what it's going to pull that other electron from so it will take it from literally anything in the body. The problem is that you just create another unpaired electron in 99% of cases. Your body eats itself from this.
>>1322520
Didn't they tear down ancient ruins to build that giant clocktower?
>>1322520
Fuck thats pretty
A WW1 trench would have been bad but the eastern front of WW2 would have literally been the worst, just imagining being a citizen in somewhere like the Ukraine is terrifying, so many different factions that want you dead, both sides wanted to exterminate you and you had to go into hiding eating sometimes human flesh just to survive.
>>1323378
Id say the trenches were worse, at least a citizen could run, and there was no gas
>>1323384
You run and get caught by partisans, these partisans would kill you if you were the wrong allegiance. There was also widespread accounts of people resorting to cannibalism in some soviet cities because there was no food. I mean WW1 would be bad but seeing your whole family raped and slaughtered and getting so hungry you start to eat grass and insects and eventually people is pretty fucked up.
>>1323384
>at least a citizen could run
Run where, exactly? How far do you think you'd get, accounting for the weather, the size of the Ukraine, partisans, anti-partisan patrols, border guards, etc?

Dna has amazing reparation mechanisms. It can even "repair" double strand cuts.
Radiation damage is from creation of ROS and random reactions, its acumulative but can be repaired. Literally every day we get radiation damage from the sun yet we repair most of it
> mfw we literally have lil cancer specks called moles
This ouch guy had so much damage just like you said that his skin and outer tissues died, very much like a 3rd or 4rth degree burns.
That doesnt mean the rest of his body was dead tho, just damaged. Also he must have experimented kidney and liver failure from the huge amount of processing and purging his body was trying to do
>>1322520
Looks like an Rpg town. The white specks are chatboxes from ppl selling overpriced cards

I've always liked the art and architecture that came from Islamic civilizations. It's too about about the terrorists and the whole throwing homos off the roofs of those buildings.
>>1323333
Yup. Can't be worshiping those ancient ruins. That'd be idolatry.
Definitely Osowiec Fortress
German forces used poison gases against the defenders. Thinking that all of the defenders were dead, Germans started advancing. Fourteen battalions of Landwehr - at least 7000 infantry men - were participating in that attack. When German infantry reached the first line of defense, they were counter-attacked by what was left of 13th company of the 226th Zemlyansk regiment (about 60 men). Surprise attack and bloody clothing (Russian soldiers were coughing blood up because of poison gases destroying the lung tissue) put Germans in the state of shock and made them run. The five remaining Russian guns opened fire at this point aiming at the running mass of Germans

their justice system is weird. Some murderers get hung under the death penalty, but others get nothing.
Another example is that cannibal who murdered and at a girl in France, and then checked himself out of a mental institution in Japan after five years.
It's probably the result of having ostensibly a rule-of-law system based upon European-style law (primarily German law), but such a system having little historical or cultural depth among the population, including lawyers, judges, legislators, and administrators.

according to netouyos on /int/ this was done by ethnic Koreans.

>Mass destruction and desolation
>Nightmarish experiments conducted by Unit 731 on civilians and POWs
>Cultural hatred and mistrust between China and Japan that extends to this day
I think these facts show that the description of the war was not "exaggerated" and with such an extremely high body count it was not "par the course" for your typical conquest in history unless you're talking about the Mongols or Timur. This idiotic "par the course" meme cannot excuse such atrocities of this or any other modern war and it needs to die out.

That's real edgy man. You and all the Japs who invaded China should burn in hell. Thank God we kicked Japan out of China, nuked them twice, and occupied them for years.
