Italian Doctors Fooled Nazis by Inventing This Fake Disease

In 1943, a team of ingenious Italian doctors invented a deadly, contagious virus called Syndrome K to protect Jews from annihilation. On October 16 of that year, as Nazis closed in to liquidate Rome’s Jewish ghetto, many runaways hid in the 450-year-old Fatebenefratelli Hospital. There, anti-Fascist doctors including Adriano Ossicini, Vittorio Sacerdoti and Giovanni Borromeo created a gruesome, imaginary disease.

“Syndrome K was put on patient papers to indicate that the sick person wasn’t sick at all, but Jewish” and in need of protection, Ossicini told Italian newspaper La Stampa last year. The “K” stood for Albert Kesselring and Herbert Kappler — two ruthless Nazi commanders.

The doctors instructed “patients” to cough very loudly and told Nazis that the disease was extremely dangerous, disfiguring and molto contagioso. Soldiers were so alarmed by the list of symptoms and incessant coughing that they left without inspecting the patients. It’s estimated that a few dozen lives were saved by this brilliant scheme.

The doctors were later honored for their heroic actions, and Fatebenefratelli Hospital was declared a “House of Life” by the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation.

So why is one considered ‘inappropriate’ and the other accepted? Stop sexualising my body. 

I wonder this too. Why is it a man’s breast and nipple are okay to show but a woman’s breast and nipple isn’t.

ok but just THINK how op momo could be if horikoshi wasnt a coward

she could create armor at will like a second skin

she could be a fucking TANK just like kirishima. no one can ever injure her because at a moment she’s made titanium covering over her skin and the bullets just bounce off

close combat? she should be a boss of that. you can’t touch her without getting a handful of spikes. you have to dodge the weapons she’s constantly making. there’s a crossbow firing out of her elbow. how is she doing that?

also while im here she should be built like an absolute unit and chubby as hell she’s!!! eating loads and she needs the nutrition!! god!!! 

my canon now

#it makes me want to write momo centric fic ahhhhh it would be too powerful i might accidentally thanos snap all cishets out of existence

op write it that’s a good thing
