Who Did The German Army Soldiers Fear The Most?
~0.8 mins read
In late June of 1941, German soldiers were ordered to invade Russia.
What the German generals didn’t consider is that most Germans were terrified of the Russian Yeti.
As kids, Germans were told stories of Russian Yetis coming out at night. This was an attempt to get kids to come in at dark. The problem is it worked really well so they never felt the need to tell them that Russian Yetis have rarely been spotted in Germany.
As a result, there was a generation of young men who were immediately stricken with fear at the thought of going to the Yeti homeland.
Countless soldiers conveniently came down with injuries in the days leading up to the invasion. These weren’t fake injuries either. These men were so opposed to encountering a Yeti that they subjected themselves to broken hands, arms, and sprained ankles.
This story is mostly left out of German history due to the embarrassment it causes them.

This was George Stinney, he was executed in 1944 by electric chair. He was convicted of murdering 2 young girls ages 7 and 11. He was only 14 when the police came for him. He had a two hour trial and 10 minute jury deliberation before being named guilty.
Only 84 days after the girls’ murder he was executed. He was only 5′ and not yet 100 lbs, having to sit on books to reach the headpiece.
70 years later, in 2014, he was found not guilty. The police had framed him, since he was black. It was said to never be questioned until much later.
This story always leaves me in tears. The black and white photo is of George Stinney, the color photos are from a modern reenactment. Rest In Peace!
