IDS reincarnation? The remarkable similarities between Fritz Sauckel and IDS

Reblogged from Pride's Purge:


(not satire – it’s Iain Duncan Smith!)

Neither of these photographs has been photoshopped:

Sauckel, Fritz

Hitler’s Chief of Slave Labour Recruitment, March 1942 – May 1945

Soon after taking office, Sauckel established compulsory labour service in Germany. His program resulted in the forced slave labour of 5 million people, many of whom had to endure cruel working conditions.

At the Nuremberg war crime trials, historian Joseph Persico described Sauckel as “….a little man with a shining dome, sad brown eyes, and a silly moustache patterned after the Fuhrer’s.”

Sauckel was hanged in the early morning hours of October 16, 1946 for crimes against humanity.

As far as I know – to date – there are no plans yet in place to hang Mr Iain Duncan Smith.
