Hmm, I don't see any interesting gory details in that article but it reminds me of similar boobs about other historical times.
The most erotic stuff I read was in the book about soviet NKVD police tortures although not sure if it was real or just propaganda.

Unlike those Chinese people, soviet (and also Nazi) interrogators loved to torture dicks and nipples for women. What a good time to live, you can have fun and get paid for it LOL
here is some stuff from the book I read at school.

The most common method of torture was to squeeze a dick with pliers which by their claims was pretty effective. women posed a bit bigger problem because they do not have dicks (and probably because of the lack of sex education torturers were unaware about the existence of clitoris. LOL)

so squeezing nipples with the same pliers was the most obvious option
but sometimes it was not an easy job because those damn bitches were mostly fainting instead of screaming in pain.

Life in gulags also was pretty fun sometimes. One of the inmates decided to nail his balls to his bed (looks like this is some kind of national sports in Russia) and spent all day in that position this way turning into the local attraction for everyone until, in the end, he decided that it is enough and went to the hospital

The situation in Germany was even better, you could just rent slaves and do whatever you want with them, maybe use them for work or have fun.
As I know a common method of nazi execution/torture was hanging men by their balls and leaving then like that until they die.

it makes me think about how the bible would look like if Romans were using the same method instead of crucifixion.

what is even more interesting is that most of that stuff about soviets and nazis written by survivors are presented in the form of comedy.
look like when you live in death camp you have no other option than developing a good sense of humor.
