  • Werner von Fritsch was born on the 4th of August 1880 in Benrath Castle near Düsseldorf then part of the German Empire. His upbringing was shaped by his strict father, Lieutenant General Georg von Fritsch, who put great value on love of country, reliability, duty and honor. He was such a "merciless disciplinarian" that his son would find it difficult to form close relationships throughout his life.

    As far as questioning the description "brutal". If another person kills you, no matter the method, no matter severity of the wound, or the duration of the death, it is brutal. Parting from life under any circumstances is actually pretty brutal. Maybe the parting isn't what some would consider sordid, lurid or horrific, but it's still brutal notwithstanding.

    This documentary claims that Von Fritsch was brutally killed by Poles. This would suggest that he was taken prisoner by Polish soldiers and murdered. The documentary didn't say that.

Even as Germany was planning aggression, aggression was being planned against them. Practically from the moment Hitler took power in fact. Just like with WW1 the war in central Europe could have been contained to central Europe. But everyone was mechanized and wanted to flex their might. The only point of vacillation was preparedness and waiting for the right conditions to motivate the public opinion towards war.

    It's comical that liking, or messing around with other dudes was the "moral?" focal point for his dismissal. The planning and putting into action, the annihilating of innocent individuals, families, children, and objecting clergy men who they sent to their demise wasn't a "moral" or ethical breaking point for them. Weren't their also actually married SS members having numerous affairs?

    03:44 "had an extreme hatred of Poland". Without context, that is extremely misleading and prejudicial.
    Fritsch was born at a time when there was no Poland on anyone's map. The restoration of a Polish nation state after an absence of more than 100 years thru the 1919 treaty caused a lot of upheaval in the lands that had been German for generations. There were clashes, small engagements by militia forces from both sides, and the establishment of the German corridor laid the foundation for future conflict.''
    Fritsch harbored no such animosity towards the USSR because as a successor regime to the TSar, it had legitimacy in his eyes, and no German lands were lost to Russia as a result of the new map of Europe.
