What are the most well - known German World War 2 scary stories?

The Rape of Nanking is one. The Japanese army carried out mass killings, rapes, and looting in Nanking. Tens of thousands of civilians were brutally slaughtered. Women were raped in large numbers, and the city was left in ruins. It was a great tragedy for the Chinese people and a dark chapter in World War 2.

The rescue of the Danish Jews is very well - known. When the Nazis planned to round up the Jews in Denmark, the Danish people united. They hid Jews in their homes, churches, and other places. Fishermen used their boats to transport Jews to safety in Sweden. This mass rescue was an amazing display of the Danish people's resistance against the Nazis and their compassion for the persecuted.

A well - known one is the story of the 'Ghost Army'. The U.S. created a unit that used inflatable tanks, sound trucks, and other decoys to make the Germans think there were large numbers of troops in certain areas. It was quite a clever yet also a bit 'ridiculous' in a sense ploy.

The story of the ghostly drummer boy is quite famous. Legend has it that during battles, a young drummer boy would be heard, but not seen. His drumbeat was said to be a signal of impending doom. It was believed that he was a spirit, still trying to fulfill his duty from the war.

The Red Tails squadron, an all - African - American unit in the USAAF. They faced discrimination at home but in the air they were heroes. They had great success in escorting bombers over Europe, proving their worth as pilots and their courage in the face of danger.

Another well - known one is about the haunted cemetery. People claim to have seen strange lights and figures floating among the tombstones. Some say they've even been touched by cold, unseen hands while walking through it.

The story of the Lost Battalion is another. Trapped behind enemy lines, they were cut off from supplies and support. They had to fight off the enemy while slowly starving and running out of ammunition. The sense of isolation and impending doom in that situation made it a truly scary story of WW1.

There's a story about a BTS member feeling an 'unusual presence' during a late - night practice session. However, considering they often practice for long hours and get tired, it could have been just a momentary hallucination. They were in a big empty practice room, and the silence and exhaustion might have made their minds play tricks on them. Maybe the lack of proper ventilation made them a bit dizzy too, and they misinterpreted that feeling as something spooky.

The Bermuda Triangle is a well - known one. It's a region in the ocean where many ships and planes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Some believe there are strange natural phenomena like magnetic anomalies that cause these disappearances.

One of the more famous stories is about the cursed lake. The water in this lake is always cold, even in the middle of summer. There are rumors that a group of settlers angered a local spirit long ago, and as a result, the lake has been a place of misfortune. Boats have mysteriously capsized and swimmers have felt unseen hands pulling them under.
