Second World War was fought totality methods.The warring parties have used all available means to inflict the maximum damage.The fight with the partisans in the rear of the German forces was not limited by any moral norms, it used the most brutal methods of interrogation.

In the occupied settlements in the territory of European countries, including the Soviet Union, in the first days of the occupation unfolded work department of the Gestapo.Torture of suspects in all underground work became a special article of investigation of crimes of the Nazi regime in Nuremberg.

Given the massive atrocities of the invaders in the Soviet Union, we can understand the reasons for their cruelty to citizens of other countries, including women and torture by the Gestapo, remained a little-known pages of history.But in countries such as Holland, Denmark, France, the fascist executioners showed zeal, ruthlessly cracking down with the Patriots.

In 1940, the Nazis invaded northern Norway.City Kristiansad since the beginning of 1942 has become a place where they placed the "House of Terror", the headquarters of the secret state police of the Reich, the main function of which was the suppression of clandestine activity of local anti-fascists and an obstacle sabotage operations conducted by British intelligence.Torture of women in the Gestapo made with special sadistic refinement, which used many ingenious devices designed.After the war in the former house of the city archives, where the torture chambers, in memory of the events of the war museum was opened.

Beating circuits, electric current, electric intolerable heating head reflectors - these interrogation methods were applied mostly to men.Torture of women in the Gestapo usually lay in the fact that they mutilated hands were made for this special machine, pull out the nails or blunt joints.The exhibition presents these mechanisms, they are genuine, and after the liberation of Norway captured by Soviet troops and the patriots in 1945.

The museum city Kristiansad reconstructed some of the scenes "work" of the Gestapo torture photos are also presented.Here are a couple suspected of collaboration with the anti-Nazi underground, subjected to interrogation.The husband was chained to the wall chain in order that he could see how beat up his wife.Torture of women in the Gestapo methods are often combined physical and psychological impact on prisoners is based on the fact that someone does not stand ahead and begin to talk.Beating children in the presence of mothers also became severe test.In fact, the nerves could not stand even the executioners themselves, in order to maintain a "performance", they used drugs and spirits.

In Norway, the death penalty is rarely used, but the Nazi executioners have paid for their crimes with life.During the trial, three hundred witnesses testified, exposing the methods of work of the Norwegian department of the Gestapo.The Criminal Code has been temporarily changed, and in June 1947 the Nazis guilty of abuse and killings of prisoners of war and civilians were hanged.
