Monsters in Uniform

Firstly, only a few years earlier, and when Britain and her allies were almost on their knees fighting the Germans, the Irish took it upon themselves to rebel against Great Britain.  Virtually all of the Tans were British ex servicemen who would not have forgotten that, and nor should they have done !

Secondly, the atrocities committed by the Irish ( even against their own ) were utterly devilish. For example, a British Customs and Excise officer was tortured by the IRA for many hours in order to get him to open his safe. He refused . He was then taken down to the beach, beaten and tortured again and then made to dig his own grave ( a vertical pit ) into which he was thrown and the sand back filled up to his neck.  He was then left to drown when the tide came in.  The following morning his torturers went back to the site, only to find that the tide hadn't come in far enough to drown him. So, what did the IRA do They dug him up, tortured him again, waited for the tide to recede and then made him dig ANOTHER hole ten yards further towards the sea to let the next tide drown him !

Jacques Rancy with a Shrunken Head that was found in one of the houses used by an SS-Doctor. These were foremost handed out during the period of Camp Commandant Koch, most likely prepared by a dermatologist from murdered inmates and handed out as presents within the SS fraternity in the camp.(This shrunken head was identified as one of a Russian POW) PS.: There is some controversy as to the actual identity of the shrunken head.
