The above image depicts the beating of a man in a Nazi Jail.  Admittedly, the patchwork quality is somewhat questionable.  But the subject matter is undoubtedly accurate.... A door broken down in the middle of the night; An arrest for "Questioning";  A terrified victim dragged down into some dank cellar;   Then, the man stripped, bound, and helpless, the whipping begins.  Some Accounts of Nazi whippings report that the victim was forced to call out the number of each stroke... and if he would lose track.... the count would begin anew.
