Fritz Klein- a doctor in the Romanian army, who joined the SS troops and became a concentration camp doctor.

Biography

In origin, Fritz Klein was a so-called Volksdeutsche, educated in Budapest. From 1939 to 1943 he served as a medical lieutenant in the Romanian army.

Since the Volksdeutsche could not be drafted into the Wehrmacht due to foreign citizenship, he, as recorded in his personal file, on May 26, 1943 was "preliminarily" transferred to the SS Troops. In a "preliminary service relationship" he was seconded as a military doctor to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and worked in a women's camp, in a "gypsy" camp and in the so-called "family" camp of Jews, where he made, among other things, selection for gas chambers and crematoria.

With the beginning of the evacuation from Auschwitz at the end of January 1945, he came along with the "death march" to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He worked from February 10 to mid-March 1945 in the Neuengamme concentration camp, but returned from there before liberation. He was one of the few who did not flee, but waited, together with commandant Joseph Kramer, for the arrival of British troops and handed over the camp to them. The guards and the commandant who remained in the camp were forced to bury the corpses lying all over the place in a large mass grave. At the same time, a photo was taken of Klein standing in the grave.

Klein does not appear on any of the "SS service lists" (Germ. SS-Dienstalterslisten, lists of officers of the general SS and SS troops) of the personnel service of the SS, although he undoubtedly belonged to the security team of the concentration camp. During the Belsen Trials, held from 17 September to 17 November 1945 in Lüneburg, a British tribunal sentenced him to death. On December 13, 1945, he was hanged in Hameln (executioner Albert Pierrepoint).

outlook

Klein is credited with the following statement, which was the answer to the question of how his work relates to medical ethics:

Photograph of SS men in a mass grave

Klein was arrested when the concentration camp was liberated by British troops on April 15, 1945. In the following days, he was forced, along with other SS men, to bury the corpses lying around the camp in a large mass grave. The British found over 10,000 dead and about 60,000 survivors. On April 24, 1945, British Sergeant H.Oaks of the Army Film & Photographic Unit (A.F.P.U) took a picture of Klein and another SS man standing on a mountain of corpses in a mass grave.

An excerpt characterizing Klein, Fritz

- Well! As you like? Stella asked cheerfully.
The man, completely stunned by what he saw, did not utter a word, only looked at all this beauty with eyes widened in surprise, in which trembling drops of “happy” tears shone like pure diamonds ...
- Lord, how long have I not seen the sun! .. - he whispered softly. - Who are you, girl?
- Oh, I'm just a man. Just like you - dead. And here she is, you already know - alive. We walk here together sometimes. And we help, if we can, of course.
It was clear that the baby was happy with the effect and literally fidgeting with the desire to prolong it ...
- Do you really like? Do you want it to stay that way?
The man just nodded, unable to utter a word.
I didn’t even try to imagine what happiness he should have experienced, after that black horror in which he was daily, and for so long, was! ..
“Thank you, dear…” the man whispered softly. “Just tell me, how can it stay?”
- Oh, it's easy! Your world will only be here, in this cave, and no one will see it except you. And if you don't leave here, he will stay with you forever. Well, I will come to you to check... My name is Stella.
- I don't know what to say for this... I didn't deserve it. This is probably wrong ... My name is Luminary. Yes, not very much “light” has brought yet, as you can see ...
- Oh, nothing, bring more! - it was clear that the baby was very proud of what she had done and was bursting with pleasure.
“Thank you, dear ones...” The luminary sat with his proud head down, and suddenly burst into tears like a child...
- Well, what about the others, the same? .. - I whispered softly into Stella's ear. - There must be a lot of them, right? What to do with them? After all, it's not fair to help one. And who gave us the right to judge which of them is worthy of such help?
Stellino's face immediately frowned...
– I don't know... But I know for sure that it's right. If it wasn't right, we wouldn't be able to. There are other laws...
Suddenly it dawned on me:
“Wait a minute, but what about our Harold?! .. He was a knight, so he also killed?” How did he manage to stay there, on the “upper floor”? ..
– He paid for everything he did... I asked him about it – he paid very dearly... – Stella answered seriously, wrinkling her forehead funny.
- What did you pay? - I did not understand.
“Essence ...” the little girl whispered sadly. - He gave part of his essence for what he did during his lifetime. But his essence was very high, therefore, even having given away part of it, he was still able to remain “on top”. But very few people can do this, only truly very highly developed entities. Usually people lose too much, and go much lower than they originally were. How Luminary...
It was amazing... So, having done something bad on Earth, people lost some part of themselves (or rather, part of their evolutionary potential), and even at the same time, they still had to remain in that nightmarish horror that was called - "lower" Astral... Yes, for mistakes, and in truth, you had to pay dearly...
“Well, now we can go,” the little girl chirped, waving her hand contentedly. - Goodbye, Light! I will come to you!
We moved on, and our new friend was still sitting, frozen with unexpected happiness, greedily absorbing the warmth and beauty of the world created by Stella, and plunging into it as deeply as a dying person would do, absorbing life suddenly returned to him.. .
- Yes, that's right, you were absolutely right! .. - I said thoughtfully. ›

There are good photographs, there are not very good ones, and there are completely unobtrusive ones. And there are shots that change the world and move history. These are not always professional shots, more often, on the contrary, we are talking about amateur photographs. It's just that a man with a camera was exactly where he needed to be, and he took a picture that remained in the memory of people even after generations. This collection contains ten military photographs that humanity will never be able to forget.

Dr. Fritz Klein, the Bergen-Belsen camp doctor, had a specific job: selecting Jews and Gypsies for the gas chambers. Nevertheless, he did it voluntarily and, as they say, with all diligence. Moreover, he did not even make an attempt to escape when the British troops approached the camp. Actually, this picture was taken at the moment when, at the request of the British, the former camp personnel collected the corpses lying around its entire territory into one mass grave, where they were buried. Well, the labor zeal of Fritz Klein was appreciated: on December 13, 1945, by the verdict of a military tribunal, he was hanged.

Up to 450,000 Jews lived in the Warsaw Ghetto, the largest of them all - if that, of course, can be called life. The ghetto itself was created in 1940, but already in the summer of 1942, mass deportation of its inhabitants to the Treblinka death camp began. And in the spring of 1943, an armed uprising broke out in the ghetto. The rebels, armed with homemade weapons and bombs, as well as a few pistols, tried to resist the German administration. As a result, six thousand people were killed during the suppression of the uprising, another seven thousand were burned in a fire set by the Germans, the rest were taken to Treblinka. The very same picture called "Forcibly removed from pastures" was first published by the Germans themselves, and then used at the Nuremberg trials as evidence of Nazi crimes.

The famous D-Day photograph by Robert Capa captures the landing of the Allied forces in France. Tens of thousands of American, British and Canadian soldiers made it to shore under heavy German fire, many by swimming. And Cape had no time to take care of the correct exposure: when history is being made, there is no time for the technical perfection of the pictures.

Officially titled "Loyalist Militia at the Moment of Death," the photograph captures the tragic death of a soldier during the Spanish Civil War, which was started in an attempt to stop Franco's fascist government from coming to power. The picture went around the world, showing the brutality of war. And although today almost everyone recognizes it as staged, this does not diminish the effect that the sight of a soldier, as if dying before the eyes of the viewer, produces. The author of the photo is again Robert Capa.

This is one of the most famous photographs of the Vietnam War, already rich in photo chronicles. On it, the head of the Vietnamese state police, General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, shoots a newly captured Viet Cong. For this shot, Eddie Adams received the Pulitzer Prize, and the picture itself became one of the strongest incentives for the anti-war movement. However, the circumstances of its creation are not so unambiguous: the Viet Cong, whose name was Nguyen Van Lem, was caught near a ditch in which there were several dozen corpses of policemen and their families.

The photo captured the climax of the second war in Iraq and became a symbol of regime change in the country. The cult of Saddam Hussein fell along with this statue, and soon the dictator himself was hanged by the verdict of the tribunal. For hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and their families, the photograph was a sign that the war was over.

Nick Ut: Vietnam War, 1972

Another photo from Vietnam. The naked girl in the foreground is Feng Tai Kim Fook, who has just torn off her burning clothes. The fact is that Vietnamese aviation launched an airstrike on the village of Trang, in which the Viet Cong strengthened. The village burned down, and Kim Fook received terrible burns. The doctors of the American hospital in Saigon considered them fatal, but after 17 plastic surgeries the girl was saved. Photographer Nick Ut received a Pulitzer Prize for the picture, and for the new government of Vietnam, Kim Phuc became something of a propaganda material. As a result, in 1992, she and her husband fled to Canada, where she lives to this day, establishing a foundation and helping children who were victims of wars.

Joe Rosenthal: American flag over Iwo Jima, 1945

This is perhaps the main military photograph for the United States. It captures the moment when the Marines set the flag (however, the second - the first was too small) on Mount Suribachi. The flag became a symbol of the first land victory of the Americans over the troops of Japan, especially since it came at a considerable cost: the United States lost more than 25 thousand people killed and wounded in the battle for Iwo Jima. Well, the photographer Joe Rosenthal not only received the Pulitzer Prize, but also forever inscribed his name in the history of world photography.

This picture is recognized all over the world. Perhaps it can be considered the most famous military photograph in the history of mankind. Alexei Berest, Mikhail Yegorov and Meliton Kantaria hoisted the banner of Victory over the Reichstag on May 1, when the fighting in Berlin had not yet ended. The picture, of course, staged, was taken a day later: on May 2, a photojournalist begged the fighters to climb the dome of the building with a flag, and these were already other soldiers. Nevertheless, the photo became famous and for millions of people it still remains a symbol of the Victory.
