Guards making sure the defendants of the Nuremberg Trials wouldn't commit suicide in their cells
I have one. Japanese Army Officer sword. It was more mass produced and not an early one that would have been more hand made or more traditional.
I didn't know what it was besides a Katana when I bought it. At the time I had some Asian inspired decor. I saw it in a shop and bought it. Researched it later. It doesn't bother me that it's from the war. It's probably fairly common and one of the cheaper ways to get "a real oneMy grandpa was in the war and while deployed got a Japanese katana and silk parachute that he kept wrapped by his bunk. Then he came down with some fever or illness that necessitated him getting shipped home and because he was unconscious at the time he wasn't able to grab those objects. Woulda been a cool souvenir / heirloom, c'est la vie It's like 100 times better than any other guard post, you get to lean against the cell, you dont actually have to guard anything, there's no annoying civilian around you, you get to chitchat with a war criminal, you dont need to carry a rifle or stupid clothing, you probably stay there like 2 hours at most before being replacedI work as a security guard part time and 50% of my "missions" is sitting on a chair for 8h straight while watching Netflix. Some companies for example need someone to watch a specific door for insurance reasons 24/7 even if there aren't any people in the building during the night and on weekends. And I don't even have to defend it or anything. If anything happens, i have to hide and call the police. Most important job in the universe, i know..The soldiers knew this was a historic moment and one misconception is that soldiers really dont hate eachother, we're all human afterall. For some, sure but most wanted these Nazis dead. Most hated them for very good reason. They weren't just normal soldiers, these were all high ranking Nazis.
The same thing goes for the people who dropped the atomic bombs. It was discussed in our class when I was a kid, a lot of people thought how they'd suffer nightmares and just be in this horrible state for life. NOPE. Most felt they had a duty and carried it out with absolutely no regrets of any kind.
If only these guards existed for Jeffrey Epstein... they probably would have accidently suicided too though lo used to work at an airport and one of the punishment duties (for example if you were late or the manager didn’t like you) was to stand for 8 hours and watch a window in a wall to make sure nobody passed anything from landslide to airside. They could have covered the window as it wasn’t used, but kept it there in order to use it as punishment. You were watched on cctv and if you looked away for more than 15 seconds you got sacked. Safe to say nobody wanted that Maybe it was his psycho ex-cop-turned-drug-dealer cell mate. Maybe it was one of the guards. Maybe he really did kill himself and the camera going out and all the other weird coincidences were just giving him the opportunity.
But in any case, it was a travesty of justice done to benefit the intelligence-connected ruling elite by getting rid of a link that could lead to them. Mask off moment for all of modern society.
