A Tortured Confession - Literally

It had long been suspected that the Confession of Rudolf Hoess (the final camp commander at Auschwitz) had been brought about by torture (the fact that the confession was laced with absurdities; 2,000,000 Jews gassed to death, 10,000 cremations a day, fat oozing from ignited bodies oozing over other bodies, etc.), and so when it was all but proven in a 1983 book by Rupert Butler (an anti-Nazi book), in which one of the interrogators, Bernard Clarke, not only confessed to torture but bragged about it, it hardly came as a surprise..................................................................................Of course, this wasn't the only example of the British trying to beat a confession out of a German. The "London Cage" over in London was routinely used and it's hard to think that any of the Nazis at Nuremberg escaped the rigors to one degree or another. Look, I don't have a problem at all in criticizing Hitler (whose views on German Jewery was borderline paranoiac) and the Germans but the when the good guys engage in evil acts and escape the scrutiny, I personally can't abide by it and nor should any of you folks.
