Torture

He would dip their pigtails in the inkwell.

Yes, Alexander did allow slavery. While the city of Tyre was under siege, Alexander sold the women and children into slavery.

You would get put in the stocks or you would get hung.

Glad this was asked they did not kill or harm the red heads at all, well as long as they came from what they call Pure Blood. But also if you are curious the Nazis not only welcomed Red heads they adored them because the red head gene came from Viking and Scandinavian Descent. Hope I helped.

Indications are that Hitler was very squeamish for a dictator, and he left the torture to his underlings who less sensitive. There was at least one exception. Some Germans who were convicted in the 1944 assassination attempt at Wolf's Lair were hanged with piano wire from meat hooks so they would strangle slowly, and films were made of it for Hitler to watch.

Mainly existing devices were pressed into service- or stretched out on a rack! As France already had capital punishment by this means- Guillotines were used in Vichy France- in one case an abortionist was executed by this means. There were various forms of inhuman (tests) of gas, chemical warfare equipment, survival gear- by dunking POWs in cold water without survival gear for ( control) or test purposes- unlike Army and Navy Volunteers who would have- say heat- packls in their life vests when ( Dunked) Altitude and decompression chambers were tragically misused by different branches of the services.

why did they get tortured

Do not read this if you have a weak stomach people... I think the worst torture would be sticking a burning hot piece of metal (about 200 degrees)

Up the hole of a guys penis.

That would be the ultimate torture and extremely painful.

OUCH.

Also, hanging them up side down and putting the wasabi in your NOSE OUCHx30000.

Not as wide spread as people think. The farther was the head of the family and if anyone did something wrong he took care of it. Very seldom did it go outside of the family. When it did there might be torture involved.

They technically weren't called "torture camps", they were called "concentration camps" and its was where Jewish men and women were tooken and the women had to cut their hair really short like men and had to wear ragged old clothes.

In the World War II era, the German Gestapo (or, secret state police service) was just one of the various German organizations responsible for handling 'the Jewish question' for Germany. In general, the Gestapo's torture methods included a wide variety of physical and mental humiliations and torments. Since its primary responsibilities were the guarding, rounding up, and transporting of Jewish persons 'en masse' to execution centers (including executions themselves), however, its central culpability in respect to the inhumane treatment of Jews is tied to the physical beatings, mental and emotional belittlement, and on-the-spot shootings of Jews caught in these 'round-ups,' rather than in individual torture-methods that the organization's officials utilized in, for example, the treatment of political prisoners.

The British received harsh treatment from the Patriots in many ways. One way is that the Patriots covered the British soldiers in hot tar and then goose feathers. They burned British townsfolk's houses down because they honored King George the third. They also threw rocks at his picture because they dispised him so much. Lastly, they made effigies (dummies) of him and burned them. They were not as cruel as you think that they were. You can be surprised sometimes.

Not personally!

probably William the Conqueror of the middle ages.. he is the one responsible for massive construction of this chairs.. so probably he is also the one who invented it.

Most US Soldierss were not captured. Those circumstances were usually reserved for US Airmen who had been shot down over North Vietnam. Torture may have occurred to those downed airmen, whose status was POW (Prisoner of War). Refer to books and websites concerning POWs in the Vietnam War.

Typically, no, one can not die from Chinese water torture.

The answer previously provided details the death by hanging, drawin, and quartering of the convicted Guy (Guido) Fawkes.

Fawkes had somewhat cooperated with his captors after having been arrested in the cellars below Parliament's chambers at Westminister Hall. Fawkes gave a partial list of co-conspirators, His Majesty, King James, who was to have been the primary victim of the Gunpowder Plot, was not satisfied that Guy Fawkes had fully confessed and cooperated with authorities. The King, therefore, wrote out a detailed set of tortures, becoming progressively more intense and maiming and painful. This writing was communicated to the Lord Lieutentant of the Tower and still exists.

Formally, the King's letter indicated that His Majesty desired that Guy Fawkes be "put to the question" because Fawkes was bound over to the civil law and the legal process could not further proceed until Fawkes had properly pleaded his crime.

Generally, Fawkes would have been asked again to detail his confession. If not inclusive of further parties to the Plot against the King's person, he would have been roughed up--usually, slapped and/or punched in the face with a gloved head. (The accused still had to appear in court.) More sturdy men could have withstood this abuse. The next step, after a brief rest period was to choke the victim with a cloth to the point passing out, release the cloth and let the victim revive. This was mostly a terror technique. The next step was to use thumbscrews on the non-writing hand of a man who could read and write. This vice-like device was placed on either side of the thumb and slowly tightened to the point of either breaking the thumb or dislocating the first joint. This torture was quite painful and caused the victim to pass out. This torture could be repeated on the other fingers, again non-writing hand first.

If this got no answer to the question, the boot could be used. A wooden vice-like device that resembled a wooden half boot that was slipped over the barefoot of the victim. As with the thumbscrews, the boot was tightened until the foot was either dislocated, broken, or the ankle severely compressed. This particular torture could only be used once since it was maiming. Remember, the victim had to appear in court after the confession, under the question, was obtained.

Less often, the English used the strappado--looks like two hoops, but the victim was doubled over into the device, with the hoops being drawn tighter. Generally, the victim was left horribly contorted in this device for a period of time as gravity and lack of movement took their toll. Most victims fainted from the pain and numbness this torture caused. It could take a victim two days to finally regain feeling and movement after being placed in the strappado. This device left no marks.

Pincers, look like tongs for removing nails from horseshoes, could be heated or used cold on the victim's bare skin; face, neck, hands, wrists, and sometimes forearms excepted--the victim had to appear in court. As one might expect, pincers, literally, a pinching device, raised a very tender, red welt and, if heated, a third degree burn. This torture was the first of the life-threatening tortures and was closely supervised so the victim was not killed.

The rack was available and this deviced had the victim lying on his back on what look liked a bedstead without the mattress and a winch at one end. Ropes were looped on the victim's wrists and ankles. The crank was turned was turned a quarter to a full crank--at first, to cause general aching in the limbs. If the victim did not comply, the limbs were pulled until the arms were dislocated from the shoulder sockets as were legs from the hip sockets. A victim of this torture could take several days to revive.

If the warden was really trying to prove his point on the victim, he might use one torture that was common to the battlefield which was the use of a heated metal rod. The victim's trousers and drawers were lowered, he was bent over a table or sawhorse, and the metal rod applied against the victim's anus. This torture was meant to humilate, disorient, cause intense discomfort, and a near immediate response to the question. This torture was considered extreme and could only be used once because it could put the victim into shock and potentially kill.

All the while, the victim was given only bread and water since it was thought that refusing sustenance was inhuman.

Very clearly, Guy Fawkes was put to the question; tortured, first by beating, then by thumbscrews. The boot was probably not employed because he jumped to his death. He was probably placed in the strappado and then racked. His signature on the confession of 9 November has a barely readable signature.

First he was tortured. Then he was dragged to his place of execution. Then hung until almost dead. After that his belly was slit open and his genitalia removed. Then cut into four pieces and finally beheaded. (Hung, drawn and quartered) His various pieces were then put on display a lesson to others.

Jesus was nailed to a cross and suffered for six hours until he finally died on the cross. People who were crucified were nailed to the cross in front of everyone so they could see that person's punishment and suffering. That was one of the punishments back then in Jesus' time. "Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried."

Because we are forced to do school all day. we are mainly torcher by school work. >(
