The Executions Of The Commanders Of The Einsatzgruppe - Full WW2 History Documentary

Hi all - please note this is a compilation of those who were condemned following the post war trials. (Offering a slight explanation if information is repeated)

Residents of hell now.

Himmler disliked Ellendorf because he "had no sense of humor." Funny guy, that Himmler...well-known as 'the life of the [Nazi] party,' everyone else thought Himmler's impressions of Mussolini and Goering to be hilarious.

Higher Education certainly does NOT guarantee good morals RS. Canada

It is amazing that it took six years after WW2 to meet their just fates.

Humans..., they just don't get it, do they.

No remorse. No kidding I saw that look on the prisoners face when getting executed on the gallows. It was literally the face of no remorse and the face of a true sicko

Thank you for this video and all the work that's gone into it. Important to remember history so we don't repeat it. Can you please add a link to the records of those trials. I would like to read the testimonies there.

This thing could have been less than half as long, if they didn’t repeat so much. Watching the same photos and dialogue 4-5 times is unnecessary.

...These Guys Were Pretty unlucky not to get Pierrepont or Someone as scientific as Him!, Chances Were if They ended up With John Woods or the HKBД They most likely Strangled to Death, anywhere from 4-20 minutes, and that Chair on the back of a flat bed is a good example!!!...

Einsatzgruppen, plural. The Heer was the German army, not the Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht was the armed forces

Good evening, and Thank You for your Important, Informative, and Excellent videos. I appreciate learning from every one.

I have a Sommergefechtsbluse Modell M-35 for an SD Unterscharführer that did time with Einsatzgruppe - A. During the fighting withdrawal to Warsaw, he was wounded by a strafing airplane and evac'd to Prague, then to Frankfurt where he was born. His injuries had him labeled " Front unfähig" and he was on light/ limited duty as Germany collapsed then surrendered. He went to his childhood home, hid his Uniform and Soldbuch, and assumed the identity of a Senior Sgt. That died in the Frankfurter Hauptlazarette. He went to work for US Forces and 5th Corp in Frankfurt where he was a motor pool mechanic for 37 years. He gave me his uniform a year before he died. With a large glass of Schnapps, he would describe Einsatzgruppen " Sonderaktionen" that would make the hair on your neck stand up. One of the rarest uniforms in my extensive WW2 German Militaria collection.

Intertesting, but too much repetition of the background and photos. You would have been better to have given a general summary relevant to all and then shorter specifics for each individual.

Good morning, and as always, Thank You for Excellent, Informative, and Important videos.

Justice served. The concept of Mercy did not apply here.

Nobody talks about the guys who helped train the SS, Emil Augsberg and Franz Alfred Six, becoming the driving force behind the creation of the Green Berets.

They all volunteered they thought they would all become rich with personal slaves..when they lost they said we were forced

How can you give men like these "spiritual guidance" prior to death? They didn't even give their victims dignity. Religion is madness.

out of the hundreds of thousands SS men only three small units did all of these crimes. The Einsatzgruppe, Dirlwinger Brigade (prisoners let out) and Totenkopf Camp guards. Prob 5% of the entire organization. I am German, a collector and historian. We can cherry pick crimes all day but can not condem all of the soldiers who fought against Communist Bolshevism. In 1932 the Bolshevist (Holodomor) starved 10 million people and turned them into cannibals. The Germans knew this and went after those Marxist who infiltrated the German Universities, govt, media. They fought back. You would have done the same. War is Hell.
