Keitels last words were "now I get to be with my sons" Son Hans Georg killed in Russia in July 1941. Yet son Ernst Willhem a POW with the Soviets that Wilhelm thought was dead. Ernst returned to Germany in 1956 with the last 400 POWs in the Soviet Union. So it is known that Wilhelm did not shield his sons from serving in front line service.

Awesome series! The narrator has a great voice that keeps the subject interesting

You're one of the best documentary makers on. YouTube. Please keep up your excellent work.

In 1961 during the trial of Adolf Eichmann, philosopher and writer Hannah Arendt coined the term “banality of evil” in reference to the bureaucratic structures that supported the Nazi regime’s most horrendous atrocities, and it seems to apply to this case as well.

Nicely done, guys!?👏👏👏👏. I always enjoy your channel!!

Brilliant program! Thank you for producing it!

As a military man myself I just have to say one thing about this video. Nobody in the military can simply say “NO” when given an order. You will be punished and at worst thrown into the brig. With that said there are other ways to be human and not take part in these atrocities such as leaving his post and the country. Knowing what we do about the nazi party I’m sure that this too would have resulted in his death in some way, shape, or form. Please don’t think that in any way I am defending this man because I am not, he got the exact punishment he deserved for what he did. I just felt compelled to say that it’s not as easy to refuse an order or to tell your superior to “fuck off” in the military as most people thinks it is.

Outstanding job. Much better than TV costly productions, we are definetely entering a new age of content, and of watching mindset.

I have been looking for a documentary on Keitel's life for quite a while. This is a dream come true.

superb material, excellent video library.

Great Work as always! Thank you 🙏 🫡

So glad that I found People Profiles. EXCELLENT.

This was fantastic! Thanks, @ThePeopleProfiles. I've read and watched a lot about Keitel, but didn't have the backstory. It makes it so much more interesting when you do. You added a whole lot to my understanding of who this man really was. One small request? I'd greatly appreciate a bio of Keitel's handmaid, Alfred Jodl. Thanks again!

While this is a reasonably good documentary, Gerd von Rundstedt is repeatedly shown in place of Keitel.

Another amazing documentary. One of my favourites you have done is James Connolly. I'd love it if you done another one on Ireland's greatest, Michael Collins. He almost single handedly changed the course of history for Ireland and Great Britain.

Excellent presentation!

Being german, i'm happy about the quality and the perfect research. Well done, thank you!

This documentary is very well done!

The family always said that great grandpa was a bit of a fanatic but I can see now they were holding back quite a bit.
