the german hold

a pressure point exploited by the germans while transporting prisioners in ww2. The german hold is exicuted by simultaniously pulling someone's ear with the thumb and forefinger while simultanoiusly driving another digit into the space were someones ear and jaw meet. It is known for causing extream pain in those who incorrectly try to excape, forcing them to move with the person exicuting the hold.

The german hold hurts like hell. I used it on my brother once to get him out of my room.
This movie was used to force many people into their "quarters" during ww2
