Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

I could be wrong, but I'd venture that he is actually giving an insane amount of fucks.

[–]wayndom 362 points363 points ago

It's Heinrich Himmler who doesn't give a fuck in this picture...

The prisoner is Horace 'Jim' Greasley, who escaped over 200 times, each time returning to the camp after making love to his German (and secretly Jewish) girlfriend.

Stephen Spielberg is considering making a movie about Greasley, who died at age 91 in February...

[–]magicbullets 207 points208 points ago

Fuckin A, he made it to 91. Himmler, the weaselly fuck, didn't make 45.

kelly's heroes is a great film. I'm generally not a fan of history movies. They simply cannot usually convey the entire situation. But hell, that was a good movie

Patton was a great general, though not perfect, and the majority of his men loved him.

    [–]TheKnightofNew -1 points0 points ago

    I don't know about that. However "cool of a dude", he was fighting for the Nazis. His actions were preventing Germany from falling faster than it would have had he just surrendered, thus ensuring more innocent and military lives were wasted, if not by his direct hand. I respect that he wasn't out there slaughtering Jews and civilians, and that he treated his captured prisoners better than others, but the bottom line is he was fighting for a cause that was killing millions of innocent people and tearing apart Europe. And that doesn't make him that cool to me.

    [–]Bafungoogoo 1 point2 points ago

    That's no shit.

    [–]Jonthrei 13 points14 points ago

    He was ordered to commit suicide, entirely because he was involved in a plot to kill Hitler. He was not executed because Hitler still respected his contributions as a general, and offered him a more "honorable" death.

    The only reason he was fighting for a bad cause was the location of his birth.

    [–]moneymizzlle 2 points3 points ago

    He was a soldier, fighting was all he knew. He believed in German conquest and that was what he fought for. There is no honour in surrender , and it goes against the soldier's very nature. He was no worse than any other warchief.

    [–]Jonthrei 4 points5 points ago

    I don't know if you're familiar with the man, but he did not execute prisoners (Hitler ordered all commandos to be executed, he never killed one), he offered medical supplies and food to hostile combatants when their supply lines were cut, avoided civilian casualties at all costs, etc. The man firmly believed in treating all human beings with respect - even the thousands actively trying to kill him.

    [–]moneymizzlle 0 points1 point ago

    Indeed I am.

    [–]Bafungoogoo 0 points1 point ago

    They cut that murderous traitor Lee slack no end and I'll bet he killed more good Americans the Rommel ever did.

    Anyway fuck everything that made nazi Germany's war machine, hitler, himmel, Krupp or Rommel, all part of a death machine that fed ovens and soaked the planet red. Fuck all of it.

    No honor in any of it.

      edit: okay apparently i'm wrong and jew can be considered a race. i think thats pretty weird but my point still stands:

      don't feel entitled to something because something happened to someone else decades ago. feel entitled to something because it pisses you off right now and here.

      [–]cheekytriangle 7 points8 points ago

      Also definitely an ethnicity... The ashkenazim have distinct genetic traits and a shared ancestry. Besides, Nuremburg laws said that if you had a single jewish grandparent, that made you jewish. If Josh_Thompson wants to consider himself jewish or half-jewish, then by all means...

      [–]XaeTae 5 points6 points ago

      There is a difference between being an ethnic Jew and a religious Jew. Don't get upset over topics you clearly have no knowledge of. The Nazis disliked Jews (both ethnic and religious) along with gays, gypsies, most religions, and blacks. They were terrible people, that's for sure.

      [–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

      Hate to burst your bubble, but being Jewish is being that race. Judaism is the religion that most Jews believe in. There are atheist Jews too I believe.

      [–]thesprunk 2 points3 points ago

      Lechuckyy was saying that just because he's that race doesnt mean he owes/is owed something.

      The Russians and the polish are all entitled to hating nazi's just as much. Not to mention the germans who wanted nothing to do with the nazi's (including their "ancestors" aka modern germans").

      Just because something happened in the past to "demographic A" and you happen to fit into modern day "demographic A" doesn't (by that fact alone) mean you're entitled to anything more or less than anyone else.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

      Yes indeed I realized my fault, but forgot to correct myself. I meant to just point out that he is still half-Jewish regardless of religion, and other cultural relations.

          Jewish is both a religion and a ethnic group. Religiously speaking your mother has to be Jewish (matriarchal linage) for you to be considered religiously Jewish, otherwise you would need to convert. But you can also be ethnically Jewish because it was a very isolated group of people demographically speaking. Same with the Amish, to a point, as they typically only reproduce with in their own culture and create a unique genetic footprint (they are actually studied by geneticists btw).

              This reminds me of Help, I am Being Held Prisoner, a very funny novel by Donald Westlake about a bunch of prisoners (in a modern US prison) who, having access to a tunnel that allows them to easily escape their prison, instead use the tunnel to live normal lives in the outside world, only going back into the prison once a day for roll call.

              [–]Deejster 2 points3 points ago

              Excellent knowledge, thank you.

              Although he was Hitler's "loyal" right-hand man, Himmler even sucked at being a Nazi.

              In contrast to other contemporary Nazis, such as Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler was presented with few decorations and never was awarded a combat medal.

              [–]Lensky_the_Poet 5 points6 points ago

              Although he was in charge of the Gestapo, Himmler himself could be characterized as a bureaucrat with delusions of grandeur. He was influential and dangerous because of his position, but he was certainly not a soldier.

              If that fence hadn't been there, I'm sure Greasley could have taken him :-P

                Was thinking that too. Courage isn't the same as not giving a fuck.

                [–]too_many_secrets 0 points1 point ago

                From Wikipedia: "Courage is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. Courage is acting in spite of fear. "Physical courage" is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, death, or threat of death, while "moral courage" is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement."

                I'd pretty much sum that up as not giving a fuck. (I'm going to edit this in that I can see it being both giving a fuck and not giving a fuck...hmmm.)

                ... acting in spite of fear.

                I'd say if you didn't give a fuck you wouldn't be afraid (in that either he doesn't care if he dies, knows he's too important to kill, or knows that Soviet snipers just over the hill are about to take out Himmler and his group in 3.. 2.. 1..).

                        I've been going through Isaac Asimov and he's wonderfully optimistic.

                        I'm afraid I've let his out-look color my thinking.

                        [–]archonemis 1 point2 points ago

                        Brave New World dealt especially with social engineering by a combination of "eugenics" and mind control through superfluous use of one's time. By contrast a lot of the focus of 1984 was in language use - "Newspeak."

                        The two novels compliment each other not only by proximity [of publication], but also in that Huxley was a mentor to Orwell. They both spoke, from different ends, about the same concept. The language use employed in Brave New World was mostly hypnosis, subliminal thought and related concepts.

                        These concepts and their application can be seen in contemporary society.

                        But I digress.

                        Read the afterward of Orwell's 1984. It's, in my opinion, more chilling than the novel.

                          As with most stuff on Reddit, it was overplayed within a few hours. People still think they're cool or something. I'm guessing their mother's don't let them say "fuck" in their household, so they sneakily get it out of the way on websites. This most likely holds true if they are 14 or in their 40's I'm guessing.

                            He also escaped his prison camp, only to come back in. He did it over 200 times! All to see a local girl he was smitten with. Makes me feel bad, I never even snuck out of my parents house.

                            The nearest neutral country was Sweden, 420 miles to the north. Perhaps for this reason the guards were lax, and the Germans seemed to consider that those trying to escape were effectively attempting suicide.

                            This is Horace Greasley who is facing down Heinrich Himmler. A must read story.

                            The prisoner has been identified as Horace Greasley, who said he did not know who Himmler was at the time, but realised that he was some superior officer. Greasley said that when the photo was taken he was demanding more food for the prisoners, having taken off his shirt to show how thin he was. Rations did not improve as a result.

                              You really should read it, but what I got from it is that he snuck out to visit his girl who was 40 miles away. He couldn't actually escape the country, because doing so would be a 420 mile journey to Sweden.

                              [–]reptomin 0 points1 point ago

                              How in God's name did he sneak out so many times and sneak back in? The Germans never caught on? How could they be so shitty at guarding them? How was he so good at it but nobody else said "Uh, fuck this, I'm leaving and NOT coming back?" Did they all just sit there and look at the hole in the fence and go "hrm, that's a hole in the fence.. gonna go back to my cage."

                                Horace Greasly (the dude staring down Himmler) outlived him by 65 years. If that isn't sweet revenge, then I don't know what is.

                                That photo is one of the most powerful I've ever seen.

                                Ironically, to me it seems like Himmler is the one giving no fucks. His stare seems to be "who are you, I'm Himmler". And the officers behind him seem to be having some fun too.

                                In the end, Himmler committed suicide and was buried in an unmarked grave.

                                For some reason this makes me think of Greasley waking up every day and thinking, "Haha! Fuck you Himmler!"

                                No he didn't. 91 minus 45 is not 65.

                                I think he meant that 65 years after Himmler died in 1945 was 2010, the year that Greasley died, confused me at first but he did live for 65 years after Himmler's death.

                                If you read the article, he didn't know who Himmler was, he wasn't staring him down. He was asking for more food, and took his shirt off to show how skinny he was. While it's a cool picture, it's not the act of defiance everyone is making it out to be.

                                The prisoner has been identified as Horace Greasley, who said he did not know who Himmler was at the time, but realised that he was some superior officer.

                                Given that the most logical and the easiest reaction by the guards was to execute him, then I vote for him having balls of steel.

                                The background is interesting, but I don't think it takes anything away from the bravery on display in the photo.

                                [–]Ikus13 1 point2 points ago

                                What the fuck is wrong with you. Think about it for a second will you? He stood up to a Nazi officer and told him he was unsatisfied with his food rations. Now consider that shooting POWs was something Nazi officers enjoyed, and it was very common. In fact, sometimes they just randomly shot POWs and laughed, with no reason whatsoever. Giving them a reason to shoot you pretty much meant death.

                                And he did it while taking off his shirt and standing up while everyone else stayed put, waiting to see the officer's reaction, waiting for the imminent headshot.

                                It's the ultimate act of defiance. But you're too busy talking through your computer to even begin to imagine what it meant to do what he did in that picture.

                                  I find something deeply sinister about Himmler's appearance in almost every picture of him. Even when he's smiling he looks malevolent as fuck. And I don't think it's just the knowledge of his participation in the Holocaust. Himmler just looks evil.

                                  I'm pretty sure that Himmler is the one who doesn't give a fuck in this case. He cared so little that he let the man live.

                                  Horace Greasley escaped and returned to the camp many times, as he was in love with a german nurse. she carried his baby and ended up dying in child birth, which he only found out about after WW2

                                  He even asked for more food for the POWs.

                                  The picture is reversed for some reason. The nazi eagle emblem goes over the left pocket, the medal ribbon bar goes over the right. Their coats/blouses are also buttoned backward.

                                  you say that, but I bet the Nazis called him over for some reason.

                                  Biggest "fuck you" face given ever.

                                  I think that is a lot of fucks given.

                                  Many fucks were given, if you know the background story

                                  [–]Kalgoor 0 points1 point ago

                                  Shortly after he was probably made an example out of with a shovel.

                                  EDIT:Oh right he lived.

                                  [–]seanjuro 0 points1 point ago

                                  Oh the things I would like to do to that man. Things involving what he did to others such as sterilization experiments without anesthesia while he slowly starves.

                                  Fucking Himmler. What a chicken shit bastard. Good riddance.

                                  I say that Greasley guy was probably a snitch or something.

                                  this post is the pure definition of being a karma whore. Sorry, but true.

                                  There are a million other reasons for this photo other than NFG.

                                  And sadly, this guy likely didn't live through the war (please provide me evidence that I'm wrong, it won't bother me, but understand my point).

                                  Ironic, the similarity in the picture to Netanyahu and a Palestinian prisoner ... Himmler didn't have a combover

                                  'no-fucks given'?

                                  Do resent, hatred, loathing and disgust not count?

                                  None of us will ever be as badass as Greasley.

                                  I actually think labeling this as "no-fucks-given" is offensive. Not only that, its not even funny. at all

                                  [–]HunterS 1 point2 points ago

                                  Maybe it would have been more properly styled, "like a boss," but don't you think you're putting form over substance? The important part is the content OP is sharing, something I've never seen before and which made an impact on me. I believe the generic and repetitive titles reedit gives to its content are merely that - an envelope to give me something potentially funny, potentially meaningful, potentially wtf. I wouldn't necessarily be offended if I received an old photo of my grandfather that happened to have a unicorn sticker on the envelope.

                                  His point was his fearless stare in the face of these people. Not no fucks given because he didnt care about being there.
