ONE OF THE LEADERS OF OPERATION REINHARD: ODILO GLOBOCNIK (21 APRIL 1904 TO 31 MAY 1945)




On this date, 31 May 1945, one of the leaders of Operation Reinhard, Odilo Globocnik, committed suicide by biting on a cyanide capsule.

 

Globocnik in 1938 at the rank of SS-Standartenführer
 Odilo Lotario Globocnik or Odilo Lothar Ludwig Globocnik (21 April 1904 – 31 May 1945) was a prominent Austrian Nazi and later an SS leader. As associate of Adolf Eichmann, he had a leading role in Operation Reinhard, which saw the murder of over one million mostly Polish Jews during the Holocaust in Nazi extermination camps Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibór, and Belzec. Historian Michael Allen described him as "the vilest individual in the vilest organization ever known".

Keyes’ running mate: Tiller murder “answer to prayer”
"I am glad George Tiller is dead," Wiley Drake says

Given Alan Keyes’ descent into Birtherdom and his recent anti-abortion protest at Notre Dame, which featured dolls covered in fake blood, it should be no surprise that the man hangs out with something of an eccentric crowd. Turns out it’s sort of violent, too.

Last year, when Keyes ran for president (yes, he ran, sorry if you didn’t notice), he had Wiley Drake as his running mate. Tuesday, Right Wing Watch noted that Drake, who’s also served as the second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention, has been celebrating the murder of abortion provider George Tiller. “There may be a lot who would say, ‘Oh that is mean. You shouldn’t be that way,'” Drake said on his radio show. “Well, no, it’s an answer to prayer.” He went on to explain:


Would you have rejoiced when Adolf Hitler died during the war? … I would have said, “Amen, praise the Lord, hallelujah, I’m glad he’s dead.”

This man, George Tiller, was far greater in his atrocities than Adolf Hitler. So I am happy. I am glad that he is dead. Now I am sad that he went to hell, because he had a choice just like everybody else did. He could have chosen Jesus Christ and when he died went to heaven. But he chose the devil. He chose to neglect, he chose to reject Jesus Christ. And therefore on Sunday morning when he breathed his last breath there in the Lutheran church, he breathed his last breath, and he slipped into the presence of the devil. And I have a strange hunch and a strange feeling that there is a special, superheated, super-hot place in hell for people like George Tiller.

Mitsuo Fuchida’s Christian Quote
Mitsuo Fuchida (淵田 美津雄 Fuchida Mitsuo, 3 December 1902 – 30 May 1976) was a Japanese captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service and a bomber aviator in the Japanese navy before and during World War II. He is perhaps best known for leading the first air wave attacks on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Working under the overall fleet commander, Vice Admiral Chūichi Nagumo, Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the entire aerial attack.

After the war ended, Fuchida became a Christian evangelist and traveled through the United States and Europe to tell his story. He settled permanently in the United States but never became a U.S. citizen.
