@Jason L This is the classic fight of Good vs. Evil. Good will always conquer Evil. Despite the fact Evil will always rear its ugly head. Hate of any kind will always hold people back.
He’s always the one sitting at the front at the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal grinning and showing no remorse. They got a guy who looked exactly like him to play him in the dramatisation of the trials. Took me aback . Brian Cox did an excellent job as Goering.
She may have recognised him but the evidence of a Mauthausen inmate at Nuremberg was decisive in getting him hanged. Francesc Boix, a Spanish-Catalan prisoner at Mauthausen actually succeeded in taking photographs of Kaltenbrunner's visit to the camp in 1943. Few today remember the 5,000 plus Spaniards that died in Mauthausen between 1941 and 1945. Honor y Gloria

As the camera pans across the courtroom, it amazes me at how many old men are in that room. These old men, actually these old monsters perpetrated such evil upon the world that it staggers the imagination.
Well, some weren't so old, Kaltenbrunner was only 42 yrs old when hanged, Himmler was too young for first line in WWI, don't forget that some people seems older than their real age, expecially in the past. It's a sad thing that a lot of these monsters evaded capture and the hangman
Actually very many nazis were young and the nazis gave many young men opportunities to rise fast in society. The reason you see mostly old men in the trails, is that most of them started their career before the nazis came to power. They rose to the very top when the nazis came to power and stayed there. Prime examples of young nazis are Kaltenbrunner himself or Heydrich his predecessor. Another one would be Albert Speer.
Kaltenbrunner was born in 1903 (first minute of this documentary, also Wikipedia). So he did his evil deeds aged between age 35 and 42. Youngish, even by the standards of 1930s/40s. Hitler himself was aged between 45 and 55 during the 3rd Reich. Most top Nazi's were of a similar age to Hitler. Again, not old.
I knew the American OSS officer, Robert Matteson, who captured Kaltenbrunner in the ski chalet in the Totesgebirge in Austria in 1945. Around 1990 Matteson still had Kaltenbrunner's #2 KRIPO identification badge (Himmler had #1). At one time he also had Kaltenbrunner's #2 SS badge, but that was stolen from him in a restaurant by a Jewish gentleman who asked to see it. Matteson excused himself for a moment to use the restroom and when he came back the Jewish gentleman and Kaltenbrunner's #2 SS badge were gone.
@@martinapierini9750 Mr. Matteson did not mention the name of the Jewish gentleman. Nor as i recall the year it happened. Nor did he mention an OSS officer named Ernst Ehrenkranz. But was your grandfather Ernst Ehrenkranz ever in India where this happened?
@@browngreen933 my grandfather was OSS in Austria during and after the war. He was living in Bad Aussee in the the Ramgut Baron Oppenheimers former home. Post war he was issued a US uniform, given a large black vehicle and two dogs. His ID allowed him to freely move between all four occupation zones. He was present in the immediate aftermath of the Liberation of Mauthausen. He had contact with the liberated Simon Wiesenthal. Where he went after the OSS became the CIA I’m not sure of. He wrote letters to my grandmother from Brazil and Argentinia.
I was hoping that when it came to his execution, being of such height, that it may have been screwed up and the drop miscalculated. Having been to Matthausen Concentration Camp, this creep deserved to suffer or at least have the trap door wack him in the head. Well, he certainly learnt one lesson, don't trust the person you're cheating with.

@@thewwiiprofessor5808 you are correct and I am very familiar with Albert P. My comment was more based on the fact that some of the people executed may have deserved a slow execution after all the atrocities they committed. What I mean, is that I don’t feel bad for the slow strangulation of some of these monsters.
8:47 For me, botched executions for war criminals is a great thing! How horrible must it have been to been experimented on as a prisoner to find the 'right' execution method for killing millions of innocent civilians.

Why is it that everyone who are accused of evil doings seem to have the same look about them?! Just look at pictures of some evil people they all , at one time, have the same expression on their face. 🤔
A few natizs were as ruthless and cruel as Ernst kaltenbruner. Many don't even know his name, and don't know what a central role he played in the final solution of Jews and sinti Roma and all others that the Natzis considered as undeserving to live.
Speer, after his death was implicated on being far more instrumental in the concentration camp system than previously thought. He is now considered the one who got away.
There's a very good article online written by the man in charge of storming the cabin that kaltenbrunner was hiding in. Its a french website but its in english and is very interesting. He goes into great detail about kaltenbrunner's apprehension.
I think that Jon c woods (executioner) was deliberately chosen to botch the executions to make them more drawn out and painful on purpose in order to enact revenge (which was well deserved)
The Executioner at the Nuremberg Trials did his job perfectly. No controversy about it, he delivered those monsters to their maker with more respect than they disserved.
There is an argument and I personally believe it's a good one because the Nuremberg trials failed to achieve an admission of guilt ( except for one case as far as I know), that instead of hanging they really should have been put away for a minimum of 50 years so that every day they would be reminded of and confronted by their crimes. Certainly for the first few years they would have been full of arrogance but the march of time is relentless and like Rudolf Hess they would have either gone mad or committed suicide. A more fitting punishment IMHO

@@JohnJones-ct9pr The U.S. made sure Bin Lade was killed by enlisted men and then a day or two later had a few young enlisted sailors dump his body into the gulf. When Himmler killed himself the officers had a young enlisted man guard the body. Just doing their job, taking out the trash.
I see that "Good ol boy" Sgt Woods was at work here again. And looks like he had enough practice by then to give poor Ernst a moderately quick exit. Someone had to have specially picked Sgt. Woods for that job knowing his skill level.
That's not true. Don't blame the reaction to an evil act. You forget that Israel does similar things with innocent people, after stealing their old land, and the Chosen people led communism (Trocky, Lenin, Marx, Kun, Levine, Luxemburg, Adorno, etc.), killing 100 million people. The Western Allies also killed much more people than the Nazis.
Why should we really care whether it was painless or not? This is a serious question. Not saying the Allies should have gone out of their way to go Medieval on the Nazis, but I would not have lost any sleep over the problem. Oh, I don't today either.
There is a good wiki page on woods. Basically he lied and said he had done it before in the US and got the job. Probably not many volunteers for the job! You had to weigh the condemned person, then you could calculate the length of rope and drop needed, he got that wrong a few times, put the noose in the wrong place etc.
Eric, I agree! Those monsters died much too easily. I am German born, March, 1945 and, of course I had no responsibility for what happened in the previous years of my birth, and I don’t believe in collective guilt, yet I feel a certain shame for what happened in the country of my birth. A country that produced the greatest technologies for good and high culture in music and the arts and I still can’t wrap my head around the historical facts of evil committed. Since then, there have been other holocausts and there will be more to come....very sad🇨🇦

Rosenberg, from what I've read, was considered a bit of a joke among Hitler and his inner circle. He wrote a lot of books on "racial philosophy," one of which was once described by Goebbels as an "ideological belch." During the war, he was part of operations to loot massive amounts of artwork from the conquered nations.
When Hitler went to jail in Landsberg prison, he put Rosenberg in charge of the Party, telling a close associate his reason was that Rosenberg was "weak and lazy".
Are we to surmise his cut up face was an outcome of his mentioned temper, in younger days? I meet people on the street today who are like that. I doubt it will be any better for them than for like people who had the Nazi opportunity. I do not believe there was anything extraordinary about any of the infamous Nazis - just normal people caught up in an unfortunate unchecked (for a time) malignancy. Just an everyday portion of hate, anger and/or cowardice in the right time and place does the trick. The conversation tends toward Hitler and the Nazis but while that was one of the worst phenomena, it was by no means the only nor the last. Things go on today in your city and mine, as well as war crimes known to have gone down since 1945, that demonstrate hate, anger and so forth, that equal that of the Nazis, even though they may be on a smaller scale, or to a degree go unnoticed.
America and the Allies are great countries can you imagine what would have happened had Germany won the war? Instead the allies won the war and helped to rebuild Germany After Germany had started 2 world wars.
Can you imagine with your little wraps of paper trying to defend yourself against such barbarity the horror & disgust other human beings that led to these monsters doing what they did was unspeakable hell is too cold for these Nazi murdereres.....,,.
I am a human being they are monsters those unspeakable people led small children into gas Chambers through babies into ovens & on a daily basis starved brutalized and shot Jews to death they had no bloody right to even have explanations
All respect to Mr. Woods. 28 minutes to died?? Now that's a hangman...for a Naz!!! Hell yeah!!! HELL YEAH!!! i just wish they could all have had a taste of the Wood. And if he could have stretch it to say an hour, I wouldn't complain! Make that scum dance all night long!
The allies knew what was going on in these camps, they did not know the scale of the extermination but they knew these camps existed from eye witnesses, the troops on the other hand didn't
Born in 1903, he would have been old enough to enjoy the styles and music of the Roaring 20's, may have done the Charleston! I always wonder how he turned so bad! I wonder if he thought of a hot record from 1925 as he was dying. Of short skirts and bobbed hair?
Justified? No -- he should have been burned at the stake or fed alive to predatory animals! Fitting eternal damnation for him: his damned soul being fully conscious as the souls of dogs (from the camps) eat it, much as was so with camp dogs with live prisoners. Dogs are less efficient killers of large prey than are bears and big cats, so there is no simple neck-bite that ends it all.

@@JohnJones-ct9pr The U.S. made sure Bin Lade was killed by enlisted men and then a day or two later had a few young enlisted sailors dump his body into the gulf. When Himmler killed himself the officers had a young enlisted man guard the body. Just doing their job, taking out the trash.
@@erichaynes7502 Himmler was murdered...couldnt have him giving testimony about the hc being a bunch of l eyes
Willy, Himmler was NOT murdered. He killed himself by swallowing poison in order to escape justice for his war crimes.
So hard to understand what mankind did to mankind Horrible
Kaltenbrunner was also good friends with Otto Skorzeny who had the biggest scar of all!
Makes sense, since both were Austrians.
I see that "Good ol boy" Sgt Woods was at work here again. And looks like he had enough practice by then to give poor Ernst a moderately quick exit. Someone had to have specially picked Sgt. Woods for that job knowing his skill level.
I've always considered the possibility that that's why he was selected for the job. He certainly was no Albert Pierrepoint.
Still waiting for 3R to do a figure of this guy.
This morning it was still Titled "The Brutal Execution of Ernst Kaltenbrunner" nothing brutal about it not brutal enough should have been the Title!
That's not true. Don't blame the reaction to an evil act. You forget that Israel does similar things with innocent people, after stealing their old land, and the Chosen people led communism (Trocky, Lenin, Marx, Kun, Levine, Luxemburg, Adorno, etc.), killing 100 million people. The Western Allies also killed much more people than the Nazis.
Obviously a distant relative of Josh Hawley.🤣🤣🤣🤣
"hit his head on the way down" what a fucking shame,not...
Wonder if Stephen Miller sees this man as an inspiration for what he wants America circa 2030 to be like?
"bloody successor of hangman Heydrich" as described by William shirer
It seems he was shunned by the other accused as they sat in the Dock
Why was Woods chosen to carry out executions if his methods were not “ideal” ? Was he charged ?
No, he died from electrocution some four years later.
I guess he was the closest executioner before they brought pierrepoint
The British were efficient with their execution the Americans were punishing with their execution.
Why should we really care whether it was painless or not? This is a serious question. Not saying the Allies should have gone out of their way to go Medieval on the Nazis, but I would not have lost any sleep over the problem. Oh, I don't today either.
There is a good wiki page on woods. Basically he lied and said he had done it before in the US and got the job. Probably not many volunteers for the job!
You had to weigh the condemned person, then you could calculate the length of rope and drop needed, he got that wrong a few times, put the noose in the wrong place etc.
the man was a brute even to his own staff. I have a book on him where it states he stuck a female secretary in the face for a typing error.
Nakam, never forget or forgive the crimes committed
Eric, I agree! Those monsters died much too easily. I am German born, March, 1945 and, of course I had no responsibility for what happened in the previous years of my birth, and I don’t believe in collective guilt, yet I feel a certain shame for what happened in the country of my birth. A country that produced the greatest technologies for good and high culture in music and the arts and I still can’t wrap my head around the historical facts of evil committed. Since then, there have been other holocausts and there will be more to come....very sad🇨🇦

@@wallykloubek4079 respect to you sir😊
No crimes were committed - just lies from the jews
Sir ! who.are you anyway.. i like the way of your presentation & your subject matter on the different people's. personally I do know a bit already.. But I like the sound of someone's voice Which makes all the difference in the world. Keep up the good work & the power's to be will watch over You !!! L8TR.
A lot of the nazi hierarchy seem to have links with Linz
Please do Alfred Rosenberg. Little information and no documentaries on him. Very interesting pos he was.
Rosenberg, from what I've read, was considered a bit of a joke among Hitler and his inner circle. He wrote a lot of books on "racial philosophy," one of which was once described by Goebbels as an "ideological belch." During the war, he was part of operations to loot massive amounts of artwork from the conquered nations.
Alfred Rosenberg was Jewish.
@@lakewrites no, he was a Baltic German. But his fellow party leadership liked to joke that he must be the only Jewish Aryan in the world.
When Hitler went to jail in Landsberg prison, he put Rosenberg in charge of the Party, telling a close associate his reason was that Rosenberg was "weak and lazy".
Given how much death he caused, he should consider himself fortunate he can only die once
All the executions were too kind.
"Yoo-hoo Ernst!"
"Who are you?"
"I am your mistress silly!"
"Fuhhhhk me.."
i always wonder why the prisoners wore sunglasses...embarrassment?
@Twiggy Smallz i did not know that. thank you
Woods was the right person at the right place at the right time !
Freely, happily giving onto others something he was so afraid to have others do onto himself.
Thank you
Himmler was afraid of this dude
Moral: If you're going to commit crimes against humanity, don't keep a mistress.
Are we to surmise his cut up face was an outcome of his mentioned temper, in younger days? I meet people on the street today who are like that. I doubt it will be any better for them than for like people who had the Nazi opportunity. I do not believe there was anything extraordinary about any of the infamous Nazis - just normal people caught up in an unfortunate unchecked (for a time) malignancy. Just an everyday portion of hate, anger and/or cowardice in the right time and place does the trick. The conversation tends toward Hitler and the Nazis but while that was one of the worst phenomena, it was by no means the only nor the last. Things go on today in your city and mine, as well as war crimes known to have gone down since 1945, that demonstrate hate, anger and so forth, that equal that of the Nazis, even though they may be on a smaller scale, or to a degree go unnoticed.
Cuts on face were dueling scars.
The scars were from a car crash. Kaltenbrunner liked a drink or ten.
thank - you .
Hoping I would hear the executioner was JC Woods.
Yes, the executioner of the war criminals tried at Nuremberg was John C. Woods.
Woods got his with his electrocution - hopefully it was extremely painful
After the executions Woods said
Fast and well done job
Woods got his in the end - electrocuted
America and the Allies are great countries can you imagine what would have happened had Germany won the war? Instead the allies won the war and helped to rebuild Germany After Germany had started 2 world wars.
Indeed
Ever see Man in the High Castle? It’s about if the nazis and Japanese won. Some pretty scary stuff.
@@pippa212 I am going to watch it since you recommended it.
@@samva777 you have to look past some of the stupid parts of the plot. But the Nazis in Manhattan and Long Island NY are spooky
That had to do with the USA, who wanted Germany strong again against the USSR. The cold war had already started.
Borman, Eichman, and Mengela all got away?
mengele? yes
eichmann? no
bormann? suicide in 1945
I'm glad the man's name was spelled out. The way you are pronouncing it, sounds like Kassenberg
After WW2 the media repeatedly confused Kaltenbrunner's name with that of American journalist, H.V. Kaltenborn. Oops!
I tell you what those dueling scars sure drive home what a fanatical people they were.
You gotta sort your voice tone out.It's all over the shop!
One gets the sense that this eventually will be the end for the higher officials of the CCP.
Also for the crooked polititions in the US.
One can only hope thats the case
Can you imagine with your little wraps of paper trying to defend yourself against such barbarity the horror & disgust other human beings that led to these monsters doing what they did was unspeakable hell is too cold for these Nazi murdereres.....,,.
I am a human being they are monsters those unspeakable people led small children into gas Chambers through babies into ovens & on a daily basis starved brutalized and shot Jews to death they had no bloody right to even have explanations
All respect to Mr. Woods.
28 minutes to died??
Now that's a hangman...for a Naz!!!
Hell yeah!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
i just wish they could all
have had a taste of the Wood.
And if he could have stretch it
to say an hour, I wouldn't complain!
Make that scum dance all night long!
The allies knew what was going on in these camps, they did not know the scale of the extermination but they knew these camps existed from eye witnesses, the troops on the other hand didn't
There was nothing going on except the incarceration of Enemies Of the State
Born in 1903, he would have been old enough to enjoy the styles and music of the Roaring 20's, may have done the Charleston! I always wonder how he turned so bad! I wonder if he thought of a hot record from 1925 as he was dying. Of short skirts and bobbed hair?
Burning at the stake would have been too gentle for this man.
Justified? No -- he should have been burned at the stake or fed alive to predatory animals! Fitting eternal damnation for him: his damned soul being fully conscious as the souls of dogs (from the camps) eat it, much as was so with camp dogs with live prisoners. Dogs are less efficient killers of large prey than are bears and big cats, so there is no simple neck-bite that ends it all.
