Anyone know what specific kind of torture would cause that?

Repeatedly smacking you in the head with something heavy, but not very rigid. Like an old phone book.

edited to add: You can also hold the phone book against their head, and then hit them with a club or a bat.

Blunt force trauma.
Doesn't take very much force to damage the skull or brain, and unless you're hitting the face or breaking skin, it's probably not going to leave any visible marks either.
Look up the "breaking wheel", a medieval torture/execution method, for context. You can break nearly every bone in someone's body without ever breaking the skin.

Nuremberg witch trials, one might say...

If you're being tortured, at some point you'll say/do anything, admit to anything. That's why you can throw out all the Nuremberg "confessions" and coerced testimony.

It became a show trial from day one. They had to try them under piracy laws. Which is obviously bullshit.

I remember reading about one officer who confessed to working at a camp with a made up name that did not exist.

Just be careful, because this is also how they make all the confessions re: blood libel 'lack credibility' as they were 'coerced'.
