The JUSTIFIED Execution Of Ansgar Pichen - The EVIL Cook Of Belsen

During the Second World War, as the Allies and the Red Army took over large amounts of Nazi-occupied territory, they came across huge concentration camps. It was here where the Holocaust was carried out, and where the true evils of the Third Reich and Hitler's regime occurred. Many of the soldiers who liberated the camps were haunted for lives by the images they saw, but after World War 2 many of the main perpetrators of the Holocaust were place on trial.
Bergen-Belsen was one of the largest concentration camps liberated, and the British who liberated the camp were horrified by what they saw. They had around 60,000 starving prisoners to help many of whom were suffering from diseases such as typhus. Within the prisoners were a number of SS guards and the concentration camp staff who decided to stay at the camp, and one of these was Ansgar Pichen one of the cooks. Pichen himself had only been at the camp a few months, however he was alleged to have shot prisoners in cold blood who were stealing food out of desperation.
Pichen was placed on trial in the Belsen Trials, and evidence was placed forward against him about his crimes. He denied any ill-treatment however was sentenced to death and in Hamelin Prison he was executed by Albert Pierrepoint.
