Answer 2

I can't find Nyilar for you (are you sure you spelled it correctly?), but I can help with the rest. It looks like you are reading about the concentration camps in Europe during the Nazi era.

The S.S. were the Schutzstaffel, or protective squadron, established as a personal guard for Hitler. They became the elite of the Nazis and were responsible for many of the atrocities of the Nazi era.

Kapos (heads) were prisoners who were put in charge of the other concentration camp inmates. Most of them were in for criminal charges, rather than being members of groups such as Jews, Roma or Sinti, or homosexuals, and since they felt that their own survival depended upon their carrying out the will of the Nazis, they often were crueler than the Nazis themselves.

Pipel were the personal servants of the more important Kapos. My understanding is that they were often young, vulnerable, and deeply abused (especially sexually) by the powerful kapos.

An oberkapo was the top kapo (over-head), responsible for other kapos and with a great deal of power.

A lagerkapo (camp head) is the prisoner in charge (under the Nazis themselves, of course) of the whole camp.

A Musulman (which means Muslim) was the slang term for someone who was so starved and beaten down that he or she had lost the will to live and barely seemed human any more. The pictures you may have seen of those found at the end of the war, who were pure skeletons without any remaining light in their eyes, were of Musulmanner.

Achtung is like saying "attention!" or "watch out!".

A Blockaelteste was the head of a single barracks.

Calvary was the hill on which Jesus was crucified.

Mein Kampf (this is two words, not one), meaning "my struggle" or "my fight" in German, was a book written by Hitler, in which he laid out his philosophy which set the groundwork for the Nazi era.

Answer 3

Those (or at least some of those) are German. You need to look at German to English dictionaries, which can be found online with google and the word 'free' added in there.

Answer 4

Calvary is the army on horseback.

Meinkampf is "MY struggle" Hitlers autobiography
