What other races did Hitler perescute?
In addition to the Jews, many Gypsies were killed. The Nazis also sent homosexuals, communists, pacifists and Jehovah's Witnesses to the concentration camps. They also killed handicapped people and later in the war some Allied PoWs and Catholic priests also ended up in the camps. Russian PoWs weren't generally sent to concentration camps but had camps separate to Allied PoWs and were very poorly treated and died in their thousands in captivity. Many of the people subjugated by the Nazis weren't sent to concentration camps but were rounded up to work in labour camps attached to German factories, and again, conditions in these camps and at the work-sites were atrocious so many slave workers died. These included Poles, Czechs and French.
Did any British solders serve in the Waffen SS?
Yes, there where about a platoon (20 men) joined from the POWs. A handful where given the choice of fighting the Russians with the SS or staying as POWs, some choice many and I mean many laughed it off, but the original few where turned into recruiters and sent to special camps where a few POWs where housed, then the recruiters would drop hints and try and turn the soldiers against the USSR. They didn't see any action and where short lived but for a time lived like pop starts in Berlin as a propaganda tool.
Where did the death march occur in word war 2?
The Bataan Death March began on April 10, 1942, when the Japanese assembled about 78,000 prisoners (12,000 U.S. and 66,000 Filipino). They began marching up the east coast of Bataan. Although they didn't know it, their destination was Camp O'Donnell, north of the peninsula. The men, already desperately weakened by hunger and disease, suffered unspeakably during the March. Regardless of their condition, POWs who could not continue or keep up with the pace were summarily executed. Even stopping to relieve oneself could bring death, so many chose to continue walking while relieving themselves. Some of the guards made a sport of hurting or killing the POWs. The Marchers were beaten with rifle butts, shot or bayoneted without reason. Most of the POWs got rid of their helmets because some by Japanese soldiers on passing trucks hit them with rifle butts. Some enemy soldiers savagely toyed with POWs by dragging them behind trucks with a rope around the neck. Japanese guards also gave the POWs the "sun treatment" by making them sit in the sweltering heat of the direct sun for hours at a time without shade. The Death Marchers received almost no water or food, further weakening their fragile bodies. Most POWs only received a total of a few cups of rice, and little or no water. Sympathetic Filipinos alongside the road tried to give POWs food and water, but if a guard saw it, the POW and the Filipino helper could be beaten or killed. Some POWs had the water in their canteens poured out onto the road or taken by the Japanese just to be cruel. Although thirst began to drive some of the men mad, if a POW broke ranks to drink stagnant, muddy water at the side of the road, he would be bayoneted or shot. Groups of POWs were often deliberately stopped in front of the many artesian wells. These wells poured out clean water, but the POWs were not allowed to drink it. Some were killed just because they asked for water. The POWs marched roughly 65 miles over the course of about six days until they reached San Fernando. There, groups as large as 115 men were forced into boxcars designed to hold only 30-40 men. Boxcars were so full that the POWs could not sit down. This caused more to die of heat exhaustion and suffocation in the cars on the ride from San Fernando to Capas. The POWs then walked seven more miles to Camp O'Donnell. At the entrance to the camp, the POWs were told to lay out the few possessions they still had; any POW found with any Japanese-made items or money was executed on the spot.
What happened in the beginning of World War 2?
I believe you mean: What happens during World War 2 in the Philippines? If that is what you mean then here is a simple outline. The US owned the Philippines at the time (1941). Japan invaded the Philippines soon after they bombed Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The Army forces fought the Japanese and were driven back to the Bataan Peninsula. They continued to fight until they were basically starving and did not have enough ammo to fend off the Japanese. Their military General MacArthur had left the Philippines at the beginning when President Roosevelt ordered him to leave the islands and head to Australia. The US Army forces were taken as prisoners by the Japanese when they were forced to surrender. Filipinos who fought with the American were also taken as prisoners. The POWs had to march a long way to a camp called Camp O'Donnell. On this march thousands of men (both American and Filipino) died along the way because the Japanese would not give them any fluids or food. They killed off anyone who could not keep marching. Some of the POWs were taken to Japan and other places. Many died in the ships as they traveled to Japan. Some were killed when the Allied Forces bombed the ships the POWs were in (unknowingly of course). The Filipino citizens spent three plus years in agony being ruled by the Japanese Soldiers. They were frequently starved, beaten, killed and even had babies killed to be forced to do what the Japanese Soldiers wanted them to do. While all this was going on the US Forces and their Allies were trying to get back to the Philippines to free the nation from the Japanese oppression. This took over three years. When they did return they had to fight a sea battle, many land battles, rescue the POWs and drive the Japanese off the Philippine islands. Thousands died in this effort. Many hundreds of thousands of Filipinos died at the hands of the Japanese during the war and nearly a hundred thousand allied forces died to save the Philippines or as POWs.
