The ESCAPE Of Josef Mengele - Auschwitz's Angel Of Death

One of the most infamous and horrific names associated with the Holocaust was the 'Angel of Death,' Josef Mengele. Inside Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Mengele would perform some of the most sadistic and barbaric experiments in history, and would demonstrate immense cruelty and barbarism on the innocent prisoners chosen to take part in his trial. Mengele would also take part in the selections, being an SS doctor and would send thousands of people to their deaths inside the gas chambers.

Josef Mengele however would never face justice. Despite his crimes against humanity, he would flee Auschwitz before he was captured by the Red Army who would liberate the camp. Following the end of the Second World War, many high ranking Nazis and members of the SS would escape justice through the ratlines which were established to help them flee. Mengele was actually arrested by the US Army, but would be released as he wasn't deemed at the time to have been a war criminal. But during the trials that followed World War 2, stories of Mengele's experiments and crimes would come to light.

Mengele would end up in South America, and set up a new life for himself under a number of false names before returning to using his notorious name. He worked as a carpenter initially and also as a salesman and would move between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil to escape being captured in the same way Adolf Eichmann would by Mossad. He would even go on holiday to Europe to go skiing in Switzerland after the war. Mengele would live into the 1970s, and whilst swimming on holiday would drown after having a stroke. He would never face justice.

It bothers the absolute crap out of me that the bastard got away.

[milserpentine]

For those upset he got away I can warm your hearts by telling you he had a stroke while swimming. This made him drown while being fully aware of his surroundings but unable to escape as he was paralyzed. I feel this death was far more terrifying and painful than being hung by long drop.

[AnotherPointOfView]

Why do humans take so much pleasure in watching other humans suffer. This truly truly escapes me. I do not understand.

[mytruecrimelibrary]

The fact that the children called him "uncle " Mengele is beyond sick.

[UncoolNegated]

He died of a stroke while swimming. I've always liked believing that the stress of being caught factored into causing his stroke.

[gregluna]

Hundreds of them got a get out of jail card from U.S.A. and Russia.

[alanaldpal]

I understand how he, unfortunately, eluded capture or accountability in South America, but how did he get by for FOUR years in Europe, after the war and before fleeing to South America?

[willswalkingwest]

For someone that eluded capture for so long, they sure seem to know an awful lot about him.

[maew]

I'd like to think that as he drowned he got to feel the same helplessness, fear, and pain his victims did.

[clivechallinor]

You should do a video about Shiro Ishii, a kind of Japanese Mengele, he was caught and then freed in exchange for his 'research'

Priests of the Catholic Church were instrumetal in helping some of the monsters escape to Latin America, they had options to give them cover and to let them travel uder their cover.

[jamesdevine]

No words for a man satan would reject.

[jamesdevine]

He went back to his hometown in the 60s...and no one batted an eye...MENGELA FAMILY WERE BIG EMPLOYERS...

I think I had a doctor who was from the middle east and was at least as bad as that man . Had he been given the authority to do what the German doctor did he would have done so. At least he was put under supervision Still even then he prescribed me a combination of drugs that made my life for about three weeks a living Hell. It was only when a nurse took me to his supervisor that I learned I never ever should have been given those drugs. He caused me to cause my car to go into a ditch due to not knowing what the heck I was doing and had me in such a state I was laughing and crying at the same time. That was twenty years ago and since that time I learned he told people they should go kill themselves there was no hope and at least one did that right there in the hospital jumping off the third floor and landing right on the doctors section of the cafeteria . Still he is working at the same hospital . I think he was not fired as he was from the so called religion of peace

[SponsorShort]

Did you know he even made a trip to Germany with his own real name on a west Germany passport in 1956?!!

[rossmorebaz]

How can the most evil one of them all have escaped justice .. after all the sick twisted things he did . he just got away with it ... How could they let him just get away so easily In the history of humanity he is probably the worst version of a human being that ever existed

[callanightshade]

The most evil thing about him is how he could be and was so kind to the children and made them feel safe with him just to send them to the gas chambers once he was done experimenting with them. That's true evil

[throwball]

The atrocities that man does to one another during war, I don’t know what else to say.

[mars]

He reminds me of the Joker, a complete psychopath that felt liberated when he didn’t have to pretend he was sane.

[franvolz]

I am so glad you have slowed your speech down. It is much more understandable. Thank you! Thank you!
