- Adolf Diekmann was born on the 8th of December 1914 in Magdeburg then part of the German Empire. Although his father was a primary school teacher, Diekmann left school in 1932 at age 17.
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. In April 1933 Diekmann joined the Nazi Party and in May of the same year he became a member of the SS. He then completed his high school education at a Nazi secondary boarding school, in Naumburg, earning his degree in December 1935.
When in August 1938 Diekmann completed a course and was promoted to Second Lieutenant, he then became a part of the so-called SS-VT unit, which was a mechanized infantry unit at the disposal of the Führer, Adolf Hitler.
The SS-VT served as a small, elite unit within the SS, separate from the regular German Army and after the outbreak of Second World War it was expanded and reorganized into the Waffen-SS, which was the military branch of the SS.

Years ago I read an interview with Diekman's son in a German Magazine. He became a medical doctor and didn't know the extent of his father's crimes until medical school. During a break one of his classmates visited Oradour-sur-Glane and when the classmate discovered that Diekman was this guy's father, he never spoke to Diekman's son again. The son mentioned that once he ask his grandfather why they never talked about his father and the grandfather replied that his father had done something terrible . Later in life he visited Oradour-sur-Glane on multiple occasions.
🫡his father. Terrorist think again about attacking illegally on military unit.
In my humble opinion, it is and was a very terrible situation that caused the brake up of the family, this due to the fact that w.w. 1 / 2 separated many family members who, in many cases, had no, or very little, part of the situation 😢
You cannot blame the son he was only a child
Fat jack above seems to know little about the law of proportionality. Or he is simply an SS apologist.
Sins of the father, in my opinion, should not hold the son responsible
If I remember correctly Oradour-sur-Glane is still uninhabited to this day, still abandoned 60 years later after the brutal massacre as a war memorial.
It is. It has been left as a memorial.
Au trecut 80de ani de la masacrul de la Oradour-sur-Glane nu 60!
A new Oradour sur Glane was rebuilt next to the old one which was kept as a memorial.
True
It's definitely worth visiting to reflect on a terrible time in history
One the most informative WW2 channels on any platform. Consistent and prolific excellence.
You are amazing! Thank you so much!
Excellent channel.
@@curiouslyme524 Thank you so much :)
One of my uncles was part of the first wave on Omaha beach. He said it was horrible. I didn’t know anything about this until about a month before he died. When cleaning out the house my mom came across a photo album filled with pics you don’t see in the documentaries. Even after 70yrs it’s still emotional and difficult to keep a dry eye. Those men were truly amazing!! It’s difficult to comprehend and put into words the thanks for what they experienced in order to free a world gone half mad.
My dad was one of five in his squadron of Glider Pilots who survived their D-DAY LANDINGS. He too never said much about that war or what those men witnessed! After reading EXDOUS as a teenager, I became very interested in the concentration camps, the medical experiments, as well as the horrendous torture inflicted upon the inmates. Also having a grandfather who was a pure German, I became very interested in the people rather than the actual battles.
You are so correct--the debt we owe those brave men and women for their sacrifices can never be repaid!
@@nanabutner it’s impossible to comprehend what those men and women witnessed on a daily basis….
Horrible & gruesome. From what I can read though it seems that anyone joining the SS mob did not have a very good chance of battle survival anyway. An almost self-destructive syndicate of brutes.
Thank you so much for mentioning our Canadian 🇨🇦 troops that were part of D-Day! So often we are left out of documentaries that we were very much a part of!
The Canadian forces were a critical part of the D-Day invasion and many gave their lives in the effort. They deserve just as much recognition as the others.
Indeed we don’t hear too
Many things about our 🇨🇦 troops
Im a french Canadian and I have heard some stories about a french 🇨🇦 who was kinda Rambo guy
I also heard a story were SS murdered 🇨🇦 soldiers on D-Day
Thank You for bringing this to our attention. The massacres at the hands of the SS should Never be forgotten!
D-Day US Para no prisoner’s order. Is US as such ok war crime to do❤
@@454FatJackWhy don' t you go back to school and learn two things: (1) history, (2) how to write a clear and coherent sentence in English.
Nu a mai trăit mult acest individ, după atrocitățile de la Oradour-sur-Glane! După plată și răsplată!
I sent a " thanks". I really appreciate your Channel. It's my Favorite History Channel.
What a Diek...
Why are the executions of these unfeeling killers always described as " brutal "
I'm descended from Polish Jews, but this is about much more than just Jews, Slavs, "others"... and the nazis. This is about a problem that we humans have with each other. Unless and until we find a way to solve it, this kind of horror will continue happening.
Unbelievable horror, this is evil of the worst kind Judgement day these bastards will pay the ultimate price for these horrific crimes!
I remember reading somewhere that it was actually in the village of Oradour-sur-Vayres that Kampfe was taken, but the Nazis got the names mixed up. I don't know about the validity of this, though. (But on another note, normally your pronunciation and diction are normally outstanding, but in this case you completely mispronounced "guerillas". It's pronounced like the animal. Simple as that.)
Id heard that too.
There’s a very good reason why Oradour-Sur-Glane was left untouched and was made into an Open-Air Museum and Memorial…. It was kept as a constant reminder that such horrific atrocities would never happen again!
I wonder how many of these monsters' ideologies continue in their descendants today? The spawn of the spawn of their spawn. 🥶
Many many, unfortunately!
Is extreme dislike of nazis deemed inappropriate in the comments? My language talking about nazi war criminals is a bit colorful, but I don't get why it keeps getting filtered out. I mean, we know the gravity of what these individuals did from the videos.
I found the narrators’s intonation and pronouncement of the Nazi’s name interesting and almost comical. The vitriol in his voice intensified the crimes he was describing that were perpetrated and the justice of an early death the German experienced. The Maquis were known for their fierceness and for putting at risk other partisans who committed acts of lessor sedition through pamphleting and listening to the BBC on the radio for news of the war. The common mistake the Nazis made was underestimating the hatred they engendered by their random acts of cruelty. They thought they were untouchable for their crimes against humanity. Eugenics has a lot to answer for.
Good day, and Thank You.
Is it any wonder the 80th infantry division refused, for the most part, to take SS prisoners.
the movie "Le Vieux fusil" (1975) is about these WW2 episodes in Oradour.
There’s actually a movie covering this horrific event in it, can’t recall the name sadly but the movie captured the pure horror and genuine cruelty of this tragedy.
Edit: it’s called Come and See (1985)
Is it "A cry in the night"? I know sort of what you mean but it's been so long, I don't recall accurately
Mel Gibson transposed it to America and had the 'redcoats' doing it in "The Patriot" because that's how seriously he takes historical accuracy.
@@Nameless_Night FOUND THE MOVIE! Called “come and see” from 1985, brutal movie that captures the true horror and hell that occurred.
@@Salamanders01 THANK YOU!!!!
He is a namesake to Adolf Hitler by the first name.
He might want to say as a defense that he was obeying Hitler 's order.
👍👍👍
undoubtedly the most terrible tragedy here is his last name
4:53 Why did he have three s' on his calor? Never seen that before. †
A planet earth not worthy living on it.
D-day
Op. Overloverd
Bad record for such a renown division like Das Reich...
"What have we achived until 1939? The envy of the makers of democracy grew. The same people that put Germany in the Great War started this war! Mr Chrchuil and Mr Eden started to be worried. They asked me why do I have the SS if I want peace? Because there are people that dont want it!!! The creators of democracy are the ones who turn brothers against brothers. They arr the ones who start and end the wars. This is the war of Nacionalism vs globalism"
Austrian Painter 1940 (Germany)
Democracy only works when everyone wants to pay that game.
When they dont...
You can still go there today. It is as it was.
Diekmann evidently committed suicide by intentionally not wearing a helmet during artillery bombardments.
Or he forgot to wear it...?
Warriors. The ones that I know, anyway. Submit to a code. One of the principle parts of that code is that you are not allowed to harm children...ever! In fact, you are required to protect them at the risk of your own body, regardless of where they came from.
Oradour story is so sad and tragic
Yeah nah.
Are there any other topics in the channel besides just Nazi, Nazi, Nazi? As if there had been no other dark chapters, tyrants, dictatorships, mass murders and genocides in world history - I just remember the near-extermination of the American natives from Canada to Chile/Argentina, the slave trade with Africans or the Jewish Bible story about the “Conquest of Canaan”!
Well...... YOU could make a channel to cover those topics.... anytime you want to....
@@williampawson5476 Hitler wrote his infamous book 100(!) years ago, the Holocaust was 80(!) years ago - how long do you want to keep "discovering" this scary story again and again?? The communist Soviets had eliminated almost all of the German-Jewish communists who had fled to Moscow before World War II and killed many more civilians than even the Nazis, not to mention communist China!
@@carstenmanz302You seem upset that your Nazi heroes are being exposed. Get over it.
At 11:32 he looks like he was a wimp!
The vcoice- over has an intonation that seems to be not enterily impartial..🤔
Why would the person be impartial for someone who slaughtered 642 people?
Who’d think the record would be broken in 2023/2024
Humans - failed
The number of Innocent Children, Women, and Men is Horrifying! Unimaginable, and Unforgivable! Prayers 🥀🥀🥀🥀🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔
What a ridiculous talkover voice, doing a sort of Lord Hawhaw impression. And quote; "...born in Magdeburg, then part of the German Empire..." as though it was some distant Baltic enclave, when it is in fact a major city right in the middle of Germany to this day. And do we need the entire history of WW2 just to lead up to this particular incident ? Low brow rehash for the unthinking.
Brutal death? Too soft...
Interesting pronunciation ''Moscow''???
And 'gu-where-rilloss.
The content on this channel are good, but i think this much commercials is harmful. I was getting interrupted by adds 3 times just for a 10 minute video! If I get interrupted 5-6 times in a 20 minute video I will not bother watching it. I will boycot it as a matter of principle
UA-cam places the ads not World History.
Channel has nothing to do with ads
@@kuriburger
If that is the case then UA-cam is killing itself. I cannot even watch my own videos here on youtube without seeing lots of ads.
And I get comments removed on my own channel from youtube censors - despite according to other users they didn't write anything offensive.
Don’t be so cheap, get UA-cam premium and there are no commercials. Haven’t seen a commercial on here in years
UA-cam premium! No commercial
Can you imagine you show this video in israel tv and compare this men to nethanyahu - this would fit the situation done by israel 1
000%
Diekmann stadium was the stadium of Fc Twente
Wow good history lesson about giving into a country (germany) germany that was teaching hard core socialist values to their youth and then of course germany just wants to take one country back “they say” to only then wage war against those countries that agreed to let them have that country(In this instance germany wanted to take back Czechoslovakia) then ww2 had began the following month
Sound familiar in 2024 ? Crimea now Ukraine ???
yes we know that putlerites are modern day nazis. thats why ukraine gets weapons

Well, the Nazis should have learned that when they would stir up hatred that it would get out of control and lead to destructive repercussions against them, just like playing with fire would get you burned sooner or later.
They felt themselves "Uebermenschen"... 🤔🤔🙄🙄😄😄😒😒
