AT 1:18 the narrator made a small mistake: the man wearing the m43 hat is Karl Hermann Frank who was the ss and police leader in occupied Czech Republic (Protectorate of Bohemia Moravia) . It was Hans Frank who was in Poland . I dont know if they were related, but these men were in 2 different countries during the german occupation.
Both were murderers .
@@bellaadamowicz8380 The narrator speaks about governor of GG Hans Frank in general gouvernement =occupied Poland, the pictured man is Karl Hermann Frank the HSSPF, high leader of ss and police in Bohemien Maren Protectorate . Its a big difference in their rank and country were they resided.
Hans Frank and Karl Hermann Frank were not related. They just shared the last name. Hans Frank was born in Karlsruhe, Germany and Karl Hermann Frank was born in Karlsbad in the Sudetenland part of Czechoslovakia.
Goering was not , "captured". he presented himself to the US.
Let's be frank, he ran from the Russians...
What a heap of idiotic nonsense. Goering was relieved he was capured by the Americans and not the Russians. He was his usual flabby and obese and was noticed to have manicured fingernails. So much for the man who promised to change his name to Meier if the Luftwaffe weren't to win the Battle for Britain. This fatso was a disgusting piece of shit and should
have been handed to the Russians on the spot for immediate execution.
Goeing surendered with his wife, daughter and driving up to the US US Army Base located in Nuremberg!
@@celloswiss Not to mention the SS were after him as well.
LOL, presented himself at point of a gun.
I think they confused Karl-Hermann Frank with Hans Frank.
Two of the worst!!!☠☠
Doenitz lived until December 1980. He was the last European leader from WW2. Hirohito died in 1989.
Should include Rudolf Hess who died in 1987?
King Michael of Romania died in 2017 at age 96. He led the coup in 1944 that ousted Ion Antonescu.
Last one was King Michael of Romania, died 2017
This clip of Goering is backwards. At first he was pleasant and convivial with the reporters, but you can see a distinct change in his demeanor (the first part o the clip) when he is told he was being charged as a war criminal.
Goering turned himself in expecting to be relieved of his military and political titles, but keep his aristocratic titles and property as the europeans have done for centuries. When he was told that he was under arrest, he knew he was done.
well he was quite an idiot :D
Goering had no aristocratic titles.

Fascinating.
At 1:18 you don´t see Hans Frank, "the last King of Poland" but Karl Hermann Frank, successor of Heydrich in Bohemia and Murawia. He got hanged as well
Thanks for clarifying.
What an excellent spot. I knew it wasn't Hans Frank and I've rarely seen KH Frank wearing a closed collared uniform. Here he's passing himself off as a military SS general, although he was the Higher SS Police leader for the protectorate. One of the giveaways to his status is the war merit cross around his neck, which was only awarded to non combatants. This is the man responsible, after Heydrich's assassination, for the liquidation of Lidice, amongst many other atrocities. There is footage of his trial and subsequent public execution.
In fact he was not Heydrich´s successor, that was Kurt Daluege (still as the acting reichsprotektor instead of Konstantin von Neurath) and then Wilhelm Frick (official Reischprotektor). Frank was a state minister (der Staatsminister), which was something little bit different...
Thanks for this comment. I asked me also : who is that guy ? I know how Hans Frank looks like ... I was surprised that this guy wearing a SS uniform in rank of SS-Obergruppenführer (equivalent to a 3* general in the US army) was presented as "Hermann Frank, governor of Poland" . Now, all is clear.
Many claun's from Germany and Russia still dreaming " Oh! Polish crown".
Goering was an air ace in ww1.
And was so disliked by his comrades in JG1 that they never invited him to their reunions.
Commanded the Red Baron's old squadron.
@@bkreed27 Why was he disliked?
@@Briman2052 he was apparently quite arrogant, a braggart, etc. May also have been related to the fact he took over from Richthofen who, one can imagine, was a tough act to follow

I wish they would play Goring's comments to the assembled news media that he made, would be interesting to hear what he actually had to say.
Maybe they don't want anyone to hear what he has to say.

Ewald v. Kleist was arrested after the failed assasination of Hitler but was released from jail later. After he was captured by US forces he was handed over to the British Army who extradited him to Yugoslavia where he was sentenced to 15 years later he was extradited to the Soviet Union where he died in captivity ... he has never been in the trial in Nurenberg and I don't really know if he was really guilty for war the crimes he was accused to.
@@tonyhill5235 Thank's for clearing my error
@@tonyhill5235 the fieldmarshall got arrested too, but released 'cause the gestapo couldn't find any connections to the plotters. the soviets couldn't find any proof that he committed war crimes so, they accused him of being "kind with the southern soviet people" making a "good" propaganda to the n*zis.....
he changed all the prisons of the soviet union dying in the one close to moscow, and there are rumors (theories tho) that they used him to test poison or some sh!t like that. i f*cking had tears in my eyes when i saw this..... he believed in god until the end.
last thing, the dad of the other ewald got executed by the gestapo but his son lived pretty long tho.
@@der_kluger_gunther8391 yes aware what scrubbed history tells us. That is not what happened. I know this pig Nazi family and how their Nazi records were scrubbed...paul didn't even die in Russia. Although some know this personally we all have to remember generally that the u.s. coveted these Nazi and cleaned their names and backgrounds.
Of course he wasn't guilty! He was an "angel"....
He was almost sacked, because he told the SS "there are to be no excesses in my area of command." basically telling them to screw off. The SS got so pissed off with Kleist that they complained to Goebbels. But, Kleist was so well respected that the complaints didn't lead to anything. In fact, Kleist even recruited Partisan units in Ukraine. He was able to do this, because instead of letting the SS just murder everyone, he won over the Ukrainians by giving the SS the boot. He was sacked after he was barely able to retreat from the Caucuses, leaving all their heavy equipment behind, after the defeat at Stalingrad. Hitler wanted to execute Manstein and Kleist for retreating, but their reputations were so strong that Hitler was wisely advised not to do it. Kleist wasn't a nazi party member, but he was still complicit in aiding the regime. He wasn't an angel, but he deserved better than to die in a Soviet Prison camp. The Source for this information is Hitler's Field Marshals and their Battles by: Samuel W. Mitcham.
I love how Karl Dönitz’ name always comes out as DOUGHNUTS with the captions on
I have a huge respect for those U-Boat crews, Such a dangerous mission with a very high mortality rate , especially towards the end of the war & after the Enigma was cracked.
No respect, they were shooting the survivors they torpedoed . War crimes.
@@bellaadamowicz8380 study the history correctly. no u-boat captain ever gave the order to shoot survivors in the water or lifeboats. if they had, then why were there no u-boat captains at the nuremburg trials? nice try!
Yes, study history correctly .
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck (27 March 1916 - 30 November 1945) was a German U-boat commander of the Second World War who was tried, convicted, condemned and executed postwar for ordering his crew to shoot the survivors of a Greek merchantman sunk by U-852.

When you think about all the merchant marine crews who went down, that alone should take of the respect off. You need to get off your romantic idealism of these people.
@@bellaadamowicz8380 Isabella, they don't want to know the truth because their minds have already been made up. There was nothing noble about U-boat crews.
Goering knew and spoke perfect English
Goering was kind of disappointed. He thought he would be treated as a celebrity. Instead, he was treated as the war criminal he was. I know, history is written by the victors. But Goering was a bit delusional. He didn't think their ideology was a bad thing.
@@gustav-no8rz none of them did. and many lived on with their lives after the war
Very interesting that they were being called war criminals even before the trial.
+HBB "Discovered" I always thought that a trial was there to prove responsibility and not to pre-judge. After the war many Allied and Soviet atrocities have been discovered, but strangely no show trials.
Lets start with concentration camps, they may have been introduced into Germany in 1937 but only copying a British idea from 1901/02 whereby the "kind and considerate" British decide to ethnic cleanse the Boer Republics and commence a campaign of killing women and children to persuade the "bitter enders" to acquiesce to British rule. If you are a student of this period in history please investigate the Rhine Meadows, ethnic cleansing in Silesia, ethnic cleansing in Sudentanland, ethnic cleansing in Elsass and the terror bombing of German cities in 1945 before you attempt to whitewash the Allies and the Soviets. The Soviets who were such "brave and honorable" allies in 1945 but were despicable enemies in 1946. Do not pretend that the victors justice was honest and fair when the Soviets were sat on the judicial panel, the victors write the history of any war that is understood, but look deeper and you will always find that wars are not a simple division of good and evil. They are vile expressions of man,s hatred and jealousy, but never try to make one side to be saintly and the other evil, evil exists in all men. If you wish to stick with your simplistic view of the war all well and good but please do not try to paint the allies as saints
As you say war is far from simplistic, explain your simplistic comment "Germany started the war". As an historian of this period I find your comment simplistic and it is not what it is.
Very simplistic, just very glad you were not my one sided history teacher. Whatever happened to research? Obviously your prejudices severely distort your view on world events. It is really depressing to think that you consider yourself a teacher of history, I feel sorry for your students who have to listen to what is nothing more a regurgitating propaganda lesson.
eat shit and follow your leader if you can't live in a world without nazizm
It is not Hermann Frank (Generalgouvernement), but Karl-Hermann Frank (Protektorat).
HANS Frank
I had an idea to open a chain of Donut shops called "Karl's Donuts", which would feature "sinkers" and "Luftwaffles". Couldn't get a small business loan, however.
Two quibbles, one minor and one major. First of all, referring to Kleist and Runstedt as "v. X" is like calling Arthur Wellesley "of Wellington." More importantly, Grand Admiral Doenitz did not name himself as German head of state. Hitler named his successor in his will.
he sure as hell went along with it though with the Flensburg government. he could've told whoever to EFF OFF and not assume the position.
Two more corrections.
After the abolition of titles in Germany in 1919, nobiliary particles became part of the surname, so by then "von Kleist" WAS his surname.
And the grand admiral was named by Hitler only as Präsident, not Führer of Germany. The latter title was assumed by Hitler when he combined the roles of chancellor and president.
@@LadyFairChildVideo And who do you think would have over saw the German surrender? If not him then somebody else would have. Someone in a German leadership position had to tell their military to stop fighting.
Donitz wasn't "self-styled". He was appointed as such by AH.
No surprises considering this video was made by the British.
I think this is an American film clip. It gets a few things wrong, as others have pointed out.
Doenitz was not appointed the ‘new fuehrer’. Chancellor Hitler had combined the offices of president and chancellor in August 1934, when the incumbent President Paul von Hindenburg died. Hitler used the Enabling Act to merge the office of chancellor with that of the president to create a new office, "the leader" (or Führer). He had been unofficially called that before, as leader of the Party.
Although the offices were merged, Hitler continued to be addressed as "Führer und Reichskanzler" indicating that the head of state and head of government were still separate positions, albeit held by the same person.
When he died, he had left instructions that the offices were to be split again. Doenitz was to be President, and Goebbels was to be chancellor. So, there never was but one fuhrer.
What kind of a name is ‘judenfrei’?? I like these videos, but neo-Nazis hang around them, like a bad smell hangs around garbage.
Perhaps you can take your complaint to the the people who made this news report back in 1945.
WW2 was Man vs. Evil, and Man lost
Sinister music when featuring the Germans. A strong and happy tune for the Americans meting out out justice to the vanquished.

"Arthur Seyss-Inquart, the traitor of Austria!". Looking forward to a fair trial then.
A lot of these trials are just for show, all the evidence was clear and cut, only reason a few didn't get hung was because they didn't lie through their teeth and accepted responsibility
@@Best.Of.Britian A lot of the evidence was definitely clear and cut for some of the really big names but there were almost 200 people tried I think in total. A lot of those people needed investigations and lawyers and a decent chunk were innocent and/or acquited/received no charges at all.
It definitely doesn't seem like it was all for show, it was a lengthy process that was just arguably the most judicially minded court case in human history up to that point and possibly even still to this day. Literally thousands of legal experts and lawyers on site from dozens of countries able to advise and go through the paperwork. It definitely had the added side effect of putting on a good show I guess, as if to say "Look, we are correcting for the wrongs of the Nazi atrocities!" but at the end of the day I think there are arguments that this was actually more fair and justice minded than most normal murder cases, especially since the high profile nature probably meant they had quite good lawyers I would imagine.

Good job
Goering should bought a new miracle bra for the occasion.

Good 'ol Dunkin' Doenitz.
Goering thought he was going to be treated like a star lol..
*He was 'treated like a Star' because of all the information in his head and that fact that he was the only one of 'highest-rank' other than Hitler himself to be taken alive*
@@gerrynightingale9045 For like a day.
Göring liked to take drugs after he had been hurt during Hitlers attack against the German government in Munih 1920. Therefore had been unable to realize the real intentions of his enemies and to command the German Air force!
Which goes to show a bloated ego will make you act like a fool and having a high iq won't change anything about it. These guys didn't have clue what they were doing . they were like a fox in a henhouse.
@@christophedallaporta8836 Goering knew exactly what he was doing in joining the 'NSDAP' and he felt "Desperate times call for desperate measures" insofar as 'War Plans' were concerned, as did 1.8-million veterans of the 'Great War' that saw Germany collapse in every way possible and growing worse by the month as France and England began 'stripping-away' industry and refusing to negotiate in any manner*
( *In many ways, the 'War' never ended for Germany because of severe demands from the Allies* )
*As for 'bloated ego' he was of 'Royal Blood' and a fearless pilot who became an 'Ace' and was Manfred's successor to the 'Flying Circus' squadron during the 1st. World War*
*He was in the 'front line' with Hitler during the 'Munich Putsch' were he was shot by someone's pistol 3-times and the stomach wound never healed properly, where lesions and strictures caused him constant pain for years, making it difficult to sleep and causing him to 'snack' frequently because a full meal was too much for his system to cope with*
*In 1935 Goering 'countermanded' the 'political imprisonment of Jews at Buchenwald' ordering that 'All Jewish males who served honorably during the 'Great War' are to be released and their properties and effects are to be restored to them'*
*This caused Himmler no end of grief since it violated his own orders, yet there was little he could do against the 'ReichsMarshal' who was second only to Hitler in authority*
*At the Nuremburg trials, Goering was the only 'Nazi' to never denounce Hitler or the 'Party' saying "We did all we did to save Germany from utter ruin and take-over by the Communist Party" and although he was disgusted by films of the 'Death Camps' he could never accept that it was Hitler's own private orders that allowed and encouraged it all, saying "This was Himmler's doings and I doubt Hitler knew the extent of such mindless murders occurring'*
A bit strange how most of the generals surrendered/captured wearing their best uniforms, and various paraphernalia of rank and complete with ribbons and awards, oblivious to what they would represent to the people meeting them. Goering was stripped of his awards and ribbons but left with his hat and shoulder boards for a time.
They obviously thought they looked impressive, but they looked like buffoons . Make believe props in fancy dress party .
German generals looked like Christmas trees, with all the nonsense on their chests.
@@roybean7166 Yes. Flashy psychopaths
I suspect that the Wermacht uniform code for standards of dress and turn-out obliged them to wear all of their awards when in the presence of other high-ranking ( or foreign) personnel. What's so interesting are the shots of Rastenburg when they visited Hitler: they were all wearing their Knight's Crosses to the Iron Cross, carrying their Field Marshal's batons, etc.
Like Lee, surrendering to Grant, the German generals made a sacrifice of their lesser quality uniforms to the gods of war, keeping their best, if they could.
Now I understand where john williams arranged some main lines of star wars soundtrack...
Nice swagger stick.
Not much else they could do. Goering's pistol is in West Point Museum a Smith and Wesson 38
I wonder if any of the British or Americans would have still fought if they saw the world of 2023...
They would have been reluctant to fight had they known that the U.S. elite and Wall Street would soon see to it that the important German business leaders who had set up and sponsored Hitler would do little or no jail time for their involvement in various war crimes.
Nothing wrong with 2023 except for Republicunts
yes they would hilter was evil and never forget , no matter how much u suk his dk
no fucking way. they fought for freedom, safety and a bright future for their children.

Yes till around the 23rd of May 1945 he ran a Nazi government with the uks blessing in northern Germany so the Russians would stay out of Denmark and Norway. Once the US and Britain's troops made it that far north he was removed as head of state and taken into custody. Crazy right?

Admiral Horthy, Regent of Hungary is interesting. Hungary had no monarch, but he was that monarch’s regent, and Hungary had no navy, but he was an admiral in that navy.
He tried to take Hungary out of the Axis alliance in October 1944 , and was deposed and arrested by Hitler. That all worked in his favor, and after giving some evidence he was allowed to retire to Portugal. Lucky guy. Hitler did not shoot, and the Allies did not prosecute.

*Doenitz was never remotely 'Fuhrer' or 'Chancellor'*
*Hitler gave him "Full authority to act in my name with such forces as you have to continue the fight in your region"*
*Technically, Goering was 'ReichsMarshal' as per the mandates of 1935 and he was actually 'Head of State'*
*Goebbels was the 'Party Leader' at the instant of Hitler's death...but had no authority over military forces*
*Himmler was 'unemployed' at the instant of Hitler's death, since he had no true military rank other than his command of the 'SS' and that was more a political distinction than anything else, since all of the 'SS' were adjuncts to Hitler himself*
*Doenitz had full command of whatever was left of the Navy and a few assorted battalions and nothing more*
*He would have to 'take orders' from Goering had any been issued, but the surrender was already underway so that point is moot in any event*
*Much has been made of Hitler's orders regarding Goering over "He's to be stripped of his immediate authority and placed under arrest at his home!" yet no one ever made any attempt to implement that 'Fuhrer Order' because everyone knew Hitler would countermand it in a few hours time and it was never 'Officially sent and recorded'*
( *Goering enjoyed 'special status' with Hitler because he was one of, if not the only man Hitler trusted implicitly to always
'have his back' given that during the 1923 'Putsch' Goering had been in front of Hitler on the street and taken a severe bullet wound in the belly as well as at least one other 'thru-and-thru' bullet in a thigh* )
*The abdominal wound caused many strictures and adhesions after the pistol-bullet was removed that took months to heal and Goering never enjoyed his former robust health again and his morphine addiction did not help either in later years*
*Hitler never forgot 'Providence meant for him to protect me so the Party would not lose it's Leader so early in the struggle'*

no german had all pieces but after they killed like 4 or 3 and they lose 1 the enemies get them back
Nice bunch of scoundrels. Not one to save the other (not event the generals)
Hi. We are skinheads. Let's worship a group of people that lost a war so decisively, America still occupies their country 79 years later.
The war criminals who invaded Iraq looking for fictional weapons of mass destruction! They got away!
Every inch of land taken from Islam is a victory for indigenous people and freedom. Africa should try it sometime.
Yes but they didn’t murder 7 million Iraqis in a 3 year period did they dumbass
'Victors' justice'.

Maybe i need some new glasses,... but i dont see war criminal Churchhill there?!
I wish we had leaders today with his balls and charisma, the Europe he fought to preserve has been given away by idiots more interested in bringing the worst of the third world to overwhelm their own citizens with the threat of death and destruction as a thank you for their wretched resettlement... I guess you need more than glasses, the victors didn't want war ...he fought to win by all means necessary you babbling fool
Have you actually read ‘Mein Kampf’?
And: citations for the Rothschild and letter quotes, please?
Fielmann!
You won't see him as he never was a War Criminal. Read more then say less.
Dave Williams assholes like you dont know anything and rant here shits..churchill was the biggest motherfucking war criminal of ww2 with that communist pimp joseph stalin.
The Germans never really accepted that they were defeated in WWI, so the leadership did not have to surrender. German pride must have been hurt real bad when the allies steamrolled and walked all over Germany in April 1945.
I wonder if the allies insisted on unconditional surrender in WW2 so they would not have to listen to any stab in the back garbage again? In 1945 the Germans KNEW that they had lost the war.
@@j3lny425 I think the record shows that the allies would have insisted on unconditional surrender anyway -- leaving Germany "intact" was not a real option. But the fact that the Germans engaged in revisionist history about WWI didn't help, you're right.
Should have stayed in Germany and not attack the whole world than
Well, Stage 1 of the Breakdown of Germany was achieved in WW1, The Prussians were basically removed from power in the German State. It is actually the Prussians that made Germany Industrially and Militarily Powerful by WW1. So, since WW1 there has been a decline of Germany.
The best GERMANY'S
The narrators voice is absolutely brilliant its poerfull British empire voice
Rendição é traição!

Goering being interviewed, like a celebrity, wtf?
I can imagine how difficult the wake up was for all these criminals ! Unfortunately many of them were hired by the Americans / CIA or protected by German law and had a nice live at the end. Disgusting like always justice is just symbolic
A legend in military history ❤️ respect forever ❤️
The Last Knights of Europe
It is amazing to me the arrogance of those men. They have lost the war and everything they believed in. They are on the way to the POW camp. They are smiling and getting into the trucks, like they're going out to dinner.
Robin Gardner they were captured by British or Americans so they were happy it wasn’t the Soviets
Robin Gardner They probably acted nice in hopes to get a smaller punishment
Why "arrogance"? They fought for their country and tried to save the civilised world from Marxism. They lost, Marxism won. The state of the western world is in now, proves they were on the right side of history. The final destruction is well under way.

Американцам сдались,надеясь избежать казни за свои зверства. Некоторым удалось,например Менгеле за ценную информацию по опытам над людьми.
Согласен со тобой на все 100% потому что американские дети Жены не были в концлагере им этого не понять
shut up
Creó qué los americanos admiraban a los alemanes para ser los mejores soldados.
Those who sow wind will reap whirlwind. That's the lesson of history. Those who attack other countries and want to use the force,, must have the force at least.

Private familiary interests or the interests of the katholic church are always the startingpoint of all wars. Please begin to be smart and informed. Only then the world could change
