During WWII, British Security Service or MI5
had a program called the Double XX system.
It was a counter-espionage system that relied
on spies and double agents to spread disinformation.
For example, agent Zigzag (or Eddie Chapman)
leaked falsified information to Germany by
reporting that their bombs where hitting the
intended target, Central London. But in reality,
they where undershooting by several kilometers
and missed every single time. Because of this,
the Germans never corrected their aim and
continued to undershoot for the rest of the
war. Another disinformation plan was Operation
Mincemeat. The British attached falsified
top secret documents to a corpse and dumped
it outside the coast of Spain. When the German

Pe timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, Serviciul de Securitate Britanic sau MI5 avea un program numit sistemul "Dublu XX"
Era un sistem facut sa combata spionajul ce se baza pe spioni si agenti sub acoperire sa raspandeasca dezinformare.
De exemplu, agentul Zigzag( sau Eddie Chapman) a dezvaluit informatii false Germaniei
reportand ca bombele ei atingeau tinta dorita, Centrul Londrei. Dar, in realitate
acestia trageau gresit pe un parcurs de cativa kilometri si nu nimereau niciodata. Din aceasta cauza
nemtii nu si-au corectat niciodata tinta si au continuat sa traga gresit pe tot parcursul
razboiului. Alt plan de dezinformare a fost Operatiunea Mincemeat. Britanicii au atasat
documente false top secrete pe un corp si l-au pus in afara coastei Spaniei. Cand

Romanian: 
Inaltul Comandament German a pus mana pe documente, au fost pacaliti sa creada ca fortele britanice
planuiau sa invadeze Grecia si Sardinia si s-au miscat rapid sa intercepteze atacul. In realitate,
tinta lor intentionata era Sicilia, iar Aliatii au luat puterile Axei prin surprindere. Si in timp ce
nazistii aveau probleme la identificarea acestor spioni si agenti secreti, sistemul Dublu XX al Britaniei
era foarte reusit. Astfel, dupa razboi s-a descoperit ca fiecare agent,
trimis de Germania in Britania, a fost ori arestat sau pur si simplu s-au predat.
Singura exceptie a fost un agent care nu a fost detectat niciodata
pentru ca s-a sinucis.
O multime incredibila de bombe au fost aruncate pe parcursul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial. Este estimat ca
Aliatii au aruncat 3.4 milioane de tone de explozibil peste Europa si Asia. Asta inseamna
27.000 de tone in fiecare luna. Ceva mai infricosator este faptul ca intre 5 si 15% dintre bombe nu s-au detonat niciodata.

English: 
high command got a hold of the documents they
where fooled into believing that British forces
planned to invade Greece and Sardinia and
quickly moved to intercept. In reality, the
intended target was Sicily and the Allies
took on the Axis powers by surprise. And while
the Nazis had trouble identifying these spies
and double agents, Britain's Double XX system
was extremely successful. In fact after the
war, it was discovered that every single agent
that Germany sent to Britain had either been
apprehended or simply surrendered.
The only exception was one agent who was never detected...
because he committed suicide.
An incredible amount of bombs where dropped
during WWII. It's been estimated that the
Allies dropped 3.4 million tons of explosives
across Europe and Asia. That's 27,000 tons
every month. What's even scarier is that anywhere
between 5-15% never detonated.

Romanian: 
Ceea ce inseamna ca ele sunt inca ingropate sub picioarele noastre, asteptand sa explodeze in orice moment.
Doar in Germania sunt descoperite chiar peste 5500 de bombe in fiecare an.
In timpul ultimelor luni din razboi, oribila unitate Japoneza numita "Unitatea 731" a planuit
un atac biologic de distanta lunga pe Statele Unite. Atacul nu avea vreo importanta militara dar
era vazuta ca o ultima incercare pentru a abate SUA sa invadeze teritoriul Japoniei.
Ei au numit-o "Operatiunea Cireasa Infloreste la Noapte".  Cinci submarine au fost trimisi de-alungul
Oceanului Pacific, fiecare avand trei avioane incarcate cu purici infestati cu boli. Submarinele
aveau sa se pozitioneze langa coasta orasului San Diego si sa lanseze cate atacuri Kamikaze pe oras.
Boala ar fi infectat oamenii din zona si ar fi omorat cu incetul populatia.
Operatiunea trebuia sa fie pusa in miscare pe Septembrie 22, 1945. Totusi, din cauza ca SUA a folosit

Which means that they are still buried beneath our feet,
waiting to explode at any given moment. In
Germany alone over 5500 bombs are discovered
every year.
During the final months of the war, the horrifying
Japanese unit called Unit 731 planned for
a long-distance biological attack on the United
States. The attack had no military value but
was seen as a final attempt to dissuade the
US from invading the Japanese mainland. They
called it "Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night".
Five submarines were to be sent across the
Pacific Ocean, each carrying three aircrafts
loaded with plague-infected fleas. The submarines
would then surface near the coast of San Diego
and launch several kamikaze attacks on the
city. The plague would in turn infect people
in the area and slowly kill off the population.
The operation was to be carried out on September
22nd, 1945. However, because the US used an

Romanian: 
o alta arma la fel de devastatoare (bomba atomica) doar cu o luna inainte,
Operatiunea "Cireasa Infloreste la Noapte" nu s-a intamplat.
La sfarsitul razboiului, Japonia si Rusia nu au semnat niciodata un tratat de pace formal ce sa puna un stop ostilitatilor.
Deci tehnic, cel de-al doilea razboi mondial inca se petrece intre ei.
Cuvantul "Nazi" provine din cuvantul german "Nationalsozialist". Totusi cand Hitler a ajuns liderul grupului
in 1920, abrevierea originala pentru Partidul National-Socialist
era Nasos sau mai simplu, NSDAP. Dar cuvantul Nazi provine si dintr-un cuvant Bavarian ce are ca inteles
"naiv" sau " o persoana prostuta". Este crezut ca acest lucru a favorizat folosirea acestui termen pentru opozanti
iar cuvantul a ajuns intr-un final si inapoi in Germania.

English: 
equally devastating weapon (the atomic bomb)
only a month before,
Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night never took place.
At the end of the war, Japan and Russia never
signed a formal peace treaty ending hostilities.
So between them, WWII is technically still
ongoing.
The word Nazi originate from the German word
"Nationalsozialist". However when Hitler became
the leader of the group in 1920 the original
abbreviation for the National Socialist Party
was Nasos or simply NSDAP. But the word Nazi
also derives from a Bavarian word meaning
"simple minded" or "a foolish person". It's
believed that this lead opposers to instead
favor the term Nazi and the word eventually
made its way back to Germany as well.

English: 
The most successful German interrogator of
WWII was man named Hanns Scharff. What's interesting
is that despite all the horrible things that
occurred during WWII, he never once used any
torture techniques to conduct his interrogations.
Instead, he treated prisoners with kindness
and respect and pretended to be their friend.
Hanns was well known for taking his prisoners
on a stroll through the nearby woods. But
he didn't use these nature walks as a time
to directly ask his prisoners obvious military-related
questions, but instead relied on the prisoners'
growing desire to speak to anyone outside
of their isolated captivity. In doing so prisoners
often revealed bits and pieces of useful information
Hanns had been instructed to acquire. Frequently
without them ever realizing they had done
so. His techniques where so successful that
after the war, he held lectures around the
US including the Pentagon about his unusual
interrogation strategies.

Romanian: 
Cel mai de succes interogator German din Al Doilea Razboi Mondial a fost un om numit Hanns Scharff. Ceea ce este interesant este faptul ca
in privinta lucrurilor oribile ce s-au intamplat in Al Doilea Razboi Mondial, el nu a folosit niciodata
tehnici de tortura pentru desfasurarea interogatiilor. Dimpotriva, acesta isi trata prizonierii cu blandete
si respect si se prefacea ca era prietenulor lor. Hanns era bine cunoscut facand plimbari cu prizonierii sai
prin padurile apropiate. Totusi, el nu a folosit aceste plimbari prin natura ca un moment
pentru a adresa in mod direct prizonierilor intrebari relatate militar, dar dimpotriva acesta se baza pe vointa prizonierilor
de a vorbi cu oricine dinafara captivitatii lor izolate. Facand acest luncru, prizonierii
adesea dezvaluiau informatii utile necesare lui Hanns. De multe ori ei nerealizand ce au facut.
Metodele lui erau asa de succes incat
chiar si dupa razboi, acesta a tinut lecturi prin SUA, incluzand si in Pentagon despre
strategiile sa ciudate de interogare.

Romanian: 
La inceputul anului 1940, Nazistii au inceput ocupatia Danemarcai pentru a facilita o invazie
a unei tinte mult mai importanta strategic, Norvegia.Pentru ca guvernul danez era foarte nepregatit
si foarte depasiti numeric, acestia au rezistat doar cateva ore pana ce au fost
fortati sa se predea.In ciuda acestul lucru, Danemarca a reusit sa-si salveze aproape toata populatia sa de evrei.
In 1943 Hitler a ordonat ca toti evreii danezi sa fie arestati si deporati. Cand
miscarea rezistentei Daneze au auzit de asta, au resit sa evacueze in secret 7.200 de evrei
dintre cei 7800, ducandu-i in neutra si apropiata Suedia.
In timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, companiei Coca Cola din Germania ii era dificil sa importe siropul necesar
pentru a face Coca Cola. Pentru a combate asta, seful Coca-Cola a decis sa creeze un nou produs pentru
piata Germaniei, folosind doar ingrediente avalabile atunci. Noul suc

English: 
In early 1940, the Nazis began their occupation
of Denmark to facilitate a planned invasion
of the strategically more important target
Norway. As the Danish government was unprepared
and heavily outnumbered, the invasion only
lasted a couple of hours until they where
forced to surrender. Despite of this, Denmark
managed to save almost their entire Jewish
population. In 1943 Hitler ordered all Danish
Jews to be arrested and deported. When the
Danish resistance movement heard of this they
managed to secretly evacuate 7,220 of Denmarks'
7,800 Jews to nearby neutral Sweden.
During WWII it was difficult for the Coca-Cola
Co. in Germany to import the necessary syrup
they needed to make Coca-Cola. To circumvent
this, the head of Coca-Cola decided to create
a new product for the German market using
only ingredients available at the time. The

new soda became "Fanta". The name was taken
from the German word for imagination "Fantasie".
When Hitler visited Paris in 1940, the French
cut the lift cables on the Eiffel Tower so
that if Hitler wanted to visit the summit,
he would have to climb all the 1,710 steps
on his own. As a result of this, Hitler never
climbed the Eiffel Tower and it has been said
that Hitler conquered France but never conquered
the Eiffel Tower.
As the 
war came to an end, The Red Army marched into
Nazi Germany and came across an horrific sight.

Romanian: 
a devenit "Fanta". Numele a fost luat din cuvantul German pentru imaginatie "Fantasie".
Cand Hitler a vizitat Paris in 1940, francezii au taiat cablurile liftului din Turnul Eifell in asa mod incat
daca Hitler voia sa viziteze varful, el ar fi trebuit sa urce toate cele 1.710 trepe de unul singur.
Din aceasta cauza, Hitler nu a urcat niciodata pe Turnul Eiffel si este zis ca
Hitler a cucerit Franta dar nu a cucerit niciodata Turnul Eiffel.
In timp ce razboiul se apropia de sfarsit, Armata Rosie a marsaluit in Germania Nazista dand peste o priveliste ingrozitoare.

Romanian: 
In timpul celor 4 ani jumatate de la creearea sa, 1.3 milioane de oameni au fost trimisi la Auschwitz.
1.1 milioane dintre ei nu s-au mai intors.
Faptele inumane si cruzimea pusa in punct aici
nu poate fi exprimata doar prin cuvinte. Dar pentru cei destul de norocosi sa fie eliberati,
cosmarul abia incepuse. Supravietuitorii de gen feminin au cazut victime violurilor comise de presupusii
salvatori ai lor in timp ce au incercat sa se intoarca inapoi acasa. Zeci de mii de femei din Europa
au fost pur si simplu violate pana ce au murit de Armata Rosie ce isi continua marsul.
Este cunoscut mai popular ca "Violul Europei".
Cei ce au reusit sa se reintoarca acasa in speranta ca vor reusi sa-si continue vietile lor normale
fusese striviti de faptul ca si-au gasit casele ori distruse ori detinute de altcineva.
Fara casa, fara bagaje, fara bani si multi dintre ei fara prieteni sau rude

English: 
During the four and a half years of its existence,
1.3 million people where sent to Auschwitz.
1.1 million of them would never leave.
The
acts of inhumanity and cruelty conducted here
can not be expressed through words. But for
many of those fortunate enough to be liberated,
the nightmare had only just begun. Female
survivors fell victims of rape by their supposed
saviors as they tried making their way back
home. Tens of thousands of women across Europe
were plainly raped to death as The Red Army
marched on.
It has infamously become known as The Rape of Europe.
The ones who managed to return home in the hopes of continuing their normal lives
where crushed to find their homes either destroyed or now owned by someone else.
With no home, no belongings, no money,
and many without relatives or friends as they

deoarece au fost omorati in timpul razboiului, se gasesc intr-o lupta pentru supravietuire
mult dupa ce razboiul s-a sfarsit.
De-alungul razboiului, Auschwitz avea ca staff circa 7.000 de membri din organizatia germana SS.
Doar 15% dintre ei au fost omorati sau mai tarziu fiind gasiti vinovati de crime de razboi.
Cum ar fi comandantul Auschwitz-ului ce a fost capturat in 1946 mai tarziu fiind spanzurat in 1947.
Cei ce au reusit sa scape puteau sa traiasca o viata destul de linistita inauntrul Germaniei postbelica.
Cativa dintre ei au reusit chiar sa scape din Germania de tot utilizand identitati false.

Over the course of the war, Auschwitz was

Only 15% of whom were either killed or
later convicted of war crimes.
Such as the commander of Auschwitz who was captured in 1946 and then hanged in 1947.
The ones who managed to escape could enjoy a fairly comfortable life in post-war Germany.
Some even managed to escape Germany altogether using fake identities.
Never facing the consequences of the crimes they had committed...
