What happened to the heads of the worst murderers in history? (II)

It’s common to hear the Germans say they knew nothing of what was happening to the Jews.
Guess that year is this photo of a Jewish lawyer with SS walking barefoot through the streets of Munich? 1941, 1943, 1945 ? …. No, 1933. Six years before the start of WWII.
Rarely in history it has a people been so blind and deaf collectively.

Yes, this happened in 1933 in view of all Germans.

The “incredible” punishment suffered by the leaders of the murderers :

 Josias, Hereditary Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont

  He joined Adolf Hitler‘s Nazi Party, becoming a member of the SS on 2 March 1930. Waldeck-Pyrmont was elected as the Reichstag member for Düsseldorf-West in 1933 and was promoted to the rank of SS Lieutenant General.^[1] He was promoted again in 1939, to the Higher SS and Police Leader for Weimar. In this position he had supervisory authority over Buchenwald concentration camp

  His “terrible” punishment was :

 Waldeck-Pyrmont was arrested on 13 April 1945, and sentenced to life imprisonment by an American court at Dachau during the Buchenwald Trial on 14 August 1947. He served only three years of his sentence before being released in December 1950 for health reasons. He was granted an amnesty by the Minister President of Hesse in July 1953, which resulted in a significant reduction of the fine imposed on him.

Died in 1967 so, his health was not so bad after all. 

Ricardo Walter Darré

 Ricardo Walther Oscar Darré;  was one of the leading Nazi “blood and soil” (German: Blut und Boden) ideologists and served as Reichsminister of Food and Agriculture from 1933 to 1942. He was an SS–Obergruppenführer and the seventh most senior officer of the SS. When the Second World War ended, Darré was the senior most SS-Obergruppenführer, with date of rank from 9 November 1934, outranked only by Heinrich Himmler and the four SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer.

 Darré strongly influenced Himmler in his goal to create a German racial aristocracy based on selective breeding. The Nazi policies of eugenics would lead to the annihilation of millions of non-Germans.

 His “terrible” punishment was :

 In 1945 the American authorities arrested Darré at Flak-Kaserne Ludwigsburg and tried him at the subsequent Nuremberg Trials as one of 21 defendants in the Ministries Trial, also known as the Wilhelmstrasse Trial (1947–1949)-

 Darré was sentenced to seven years at Landsberg Prison. He nevertheless was released in 1950 and spent his final years in Bad Harzburg. He died in a Munich hospital on 5 September 1953.

 Josef “Sepp” Dietrich  was a Waffen-SS general.

Dietrich led the Leibstandarte, this “elite”

(to call “elite” to a bunch of murderers is a sinister joke )

division, a component of the Waffen-SS, was found guilty of war crimes in the Nuremberg Trials. Members of the LSSAH participated in numerous atrocities. They killed at least an estimated 5,000 prisoners of war in the period 1940–1945, mostly on the Eastern Front.

 Under his overall command killed between 77 and 82 U.S. prisoners of war near Malmedy, Belgium, in what is known as the Malmedy massacre.

 His “terrible” punishment was :

Dietrich was tried as Defendant No. 11 by U.S. Military Tribunal at Dachau  he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Malmedy massacre trial for ordering the execution of U.S. prisoners of war in Malmedy. Due to testimony in his defence by other German officers, his sentence was shortened to 25 years.  Dietrich served only ten years and was released on parole on 22 October 1955. However, he was rearrested in Ludwigsburg in August 1956. He was charged by the Landgericht München I and tried from 6 May 1957 until 14 May 1957 for his role in the killing of SA leaders (aka Night of the Long Knives“) in 1934. On 14 May 1957, he was sentenced to nineteen months for his part in the purge . He was released due to a heart condition and circulation problems in his legs on 2 February 1958. By then he had already served almost his entire 19-month sentence.

Dietrich was sentenced to death in absentia by a Soviet court in connection with war crimes committed by Leibstandarte in Kharkov in 1943.

In 1966, Dietrich died of a heart attack in Ludwigsburg at age 73. Seven thousand of his wartime comrades came to his funeral. He was eulogized by former SS-Obergruppenführer und General der Waffen-SS Wilhelm Bittrich, another war criminal that led the 8th SS Cavalry Division Florian Geyer, involved in war crimes in the USSR (August 1942 – 15 February 1943).

Wilhelm Bittrich  was an SS-Obergruppenführer and Waffen-SS General    

 He also led the 8th SS Cavalry Division Florian Geyer, involved in war crimes in the USSR (August 1942 – 15 February 1943).  Which was involved in anti partisan operations behind the front line and was responsible for the extermination of tens of thousands of the civilian population.

 His “terrible” punishment was :

 After his arrest on 8 May 1945 he was extradited to France  As the commander in charge of the culprits, he was held responsible for the misconduct of his subordinate troops and sentenced to five years in prison. The sentence was considered as served after a long pretrial detention. He was put on trial for a second time in 1953 and sentenced to five years in prison for countenancing hangings, pillage and arson,but was acquitted by the French court in Bordeaux again and released in 1954.

 Seeing little or no punishment for these murderers in series, it is true what a prosecutor said at Nuremberg trial, that a chicken thief was punished more than these serial murderers.

   

Too much “collateral damage”

What happened to the heads of the worst murderers in history?

For very little knowledge of history that has a normal person have, he  knows the atrocities committed by the Germans in the Second World War and that those several hundred thousand Germans, the SS called, were the most fanatical murderers, so anyone can think that after the war they were captured and punished appropriately to their crimes. Let’s see if this assumption is true with some of the most famososo murderers.

Rudolf Diels first chief of Gestapo

 Rudolf Diels was the first chief of Gestapo, thousand of deaths are on your back.

The punishment was :

After 1950 he served in the post-war government of Lower Saxony, and then in the Ministry of the Interior, until his retirement in 1953. He died on 18 November 1957 when his rifle accidentally discharged while he was hunting.

Paul Hausser founder of SS officer schools

 Paul Hausser was the founder of the SS officer schools

where they were taught  racial theories and as exterminate entire populations, women, elderly, children.

 The punishment was :

 In 1946 he was called as a witness at the Nuremberg Trials for war crimes, testifying in favor of other members of the SS. It remains in a German internment camp until it is released in mid-1948.
After his release he became leader of the association of veterans of the Waffen-SS and writes several books
He died in Ludwigsburg (Württemberg) on December 21, 1972, at the age of 92 years.

 

Feliz Steiner tactical guru of the early armed SS an later commander of the Germanic Panzer Corps

 Feliz Steiner General of the Waffen-SS, and a member of the Nazi Party of Germany.

 The punishment was :

After the capitulation of Germany, Steiner was imprisoned and indicted as part of the Nuremberg Trials. However, he was cleared of all charges of war crimes and released in 1948. He continued to live in Germany, wrote several books, and participated in organising support for former Waffen-SS members. He died in 1966.

 

Gottlob Berger the “father” of Waffen-SS .Before

 Gottlob Berger was the “father” of the Waffen-SS, as he not only implemented recruiting structures and policies that assisted the Waffen-SS to circumvent Wehrmacht controls over conscription, but also extended Waffen-SS recruiting first to “Germanic” volunteers from Scandinavia and western Europe, then Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) outside the Reich, and finally to peoples who in no way reflected Himmler’s ideas of “racial purity”. He also sponsored and protected his friend Oskar Dirlewanger, who he placed in command of a unit of convicted criminals. The Sonderkommando Dirlewanger subsequently committed many war crimes in the areas it operated,

Gottlob Berger the “father” of Waffen-SS .After

 And his punishment was :   

He was tried and convicted in the Ministries Trial of the U.S. Nuremberg Military Tribunals for war crimes, and was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment. His sentence was soon reduced to 10 years, and he was released after serving six and a half years. After release he advocated for the rehabilitation of the Waffen-SS and worked in several manufacturing businesses. He died in his hometown in 1975.

 

Walther Friedrich Schellenberg

Walther Friedrich Schellenberg Himmler´s foreign intelligence chief

Walter Schellenberg. He does not seem very remorseful,

The punishment was :  

During the postwar Nuremberg Trials, Schellenberg testified against other Nazis. In the 1949 Ministries Trial he was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment, during which time he wrote his memoirs, The Labyrinth. He was released in 1951 on the grounds of ill-health, due to a worsening liver condition, and moved to Switzerland, before settling in Verbania Pallanza, Italy. The following year he died of cancer in Turin.

We could go on with many more, but the reality is that except the few who committed suicide as Himmler and those who died in the war that they themselves had provoked hundreds of thousands of SS murderers and their leaders escaped justice unpunished any and they lived quietly in Germany. 

 What do  teach these hundreds of thousands of murderers to their children?

 

 

In the Line of Fire

The war and the destruction of the economy has also led the Ukrainian economic blockade have caused a catastrophic humanitarian situation in part of the territory of Donbass, trying to prepare, often precariously, for the second winter in war. Despite the attempts efficiently distribute humanitarian aid coming from Russia or provided by humanitarian organizations, the situation of the most vulnerable sectors of society remains serious in some areas, especially in small localities not served by that institutional support.

Humanitarian battalions of militias or private initiatives, mainly Russian citizens or organizations have tried to fill those gaps. In his blog, Littlehirosima, Yevdokia Sheremetyeva usually relates humanitarian missions acquired with funds collected through the Internet and distributed in different areas of Donbass, both in times of war and ceasefire. Sheremetyeva also has its views on the actual situation of the population of Donbass and small stories of those who have lost everything and who have been unable to leave the area despite the hunger and destruction have no place to go.

This is Alekseyevna Doroshenko. He suffered hell of Debaltsevo.

We met on a city street by chance. our van unloaded He came as humanitarian aid to a woman suffering from skin cancer. He quietly approached us and took my hand.

“Guys, bring humanitarian aid?

The woman, like a wounded animal, he looked at us with hope.

“That have you?”

Unfortunately, we can not help the whole city. Sorry but we can not …

“My house is destroyed, comes, I show it”.

“Go ahead, this is my home. Or was my home.

And there it was. A house. Have you ever been completely burned houses, where even the remains of past life are: calcined beds, appliances?

Have you ever seen anything so by the owner? Even the bravest get dizzy when entering the “ground zero”. It’s like they ripped the soul. The woman began to run from one place to another in search of something.

“When we destroyed the house, everything around was burning. My daughter told me “go, go”. All around us there was nothing but flames. And tanks. ”

The street where his house was suffered more than any other in Debaltsevo. He was in the firing line.

The woman walked confused by the ground covered with the remains of a past life. Just listen. They are not more than two minutes.

Irina Alekseyevna picked all the dishes have endured. He also collected all the fragments of shells and placed them in a corner. The dishes are in sight. Eight months have passed since the slaughter of February.

Washed first snow, then rain. Now the sun dries the dishes. Ririna Alexeyevna carefully protects their dishes. No moves. Nor uses.

“Where do you live? With family, with neighbors? ”

“I live here”.

Next to the house is shed. The entrance leads to a completely filled room furniture and other belongings. There is no space at all.

“Where she is your daughter?”

Do you live nearby in Cheremushky “.

“Why not welcome you there?”

“How could They? They live four, including her husband, in an apartment in one room. ”

And standing there like an idiot, you can not hold and asked: “How is it possible? It is very cold here! And there’s no room! ”

He turned to me looking at me with his piercing gaze. So much pain and sadness at a glance. He put his hand on my shoulder and walked away.

Plates, small cups still in my mind. Long time nobody needs, but were carefully collected in the chaos. The owner continues to care the day walking through the rubble of his house.

Things you did not know about Germany

Late, too late start to appear books that tell the truth about Hitler’s Germany and postwar and myths are falling one by one , the diaries of current Germans, new books and testimonies show the complicity of most of the Germans before, during and after the war with the extermination policies and in avoiding the punishment of the criminals. Exceptions were those who fought against Hitler, a very, very small  minority, most of teh Germans  joined him ( to Hiler ) by fanaticism, or, many more,  for material  interest.

 
Collective amnesia is falling apart as more details are known, but it is incredible how late have been known and as yet, Germany hindering justice for victims in many ways, for example by refusing to criminal punishment, denied restitution of material goods stolen to the heirs of the victims, etc.

   

  

On 3 Iuly 1965, Neues Deutschland reported :

Twenty–one ministers and State secretaries from the Federal Republic, 100 generals and admirals of the Bundeswehr [armed forces], 828 high–ranking judicial officers, lawyers and judges , 245 leading officíals of the Auswartíges Amt, Bonn ambassadors and consulates as well as 297 mid– and high–ranking officíals from the police force and the Federal Office for the Protection – the Constitution were influential pillars of the Hitler dictators.

 

Konrad Adsenauer ( former President FRG and one culprit

Naturally in a society that has contributed massively with the murderers the poison extends to all layers of society even the most “holy” parts of that society.

A Stasi dossier from 1963 come to the sobering conclusion that 

“ The majority of church governing bodies consist predominantly of former NDSAP* members …”

* Nazi Party

  

Details are nauseating , the Gernan Federal Intelligence in the West, employed people as the SS murder Klaus Barbie, “The Lyon Butcher.”

   Americans after the war got the files containing the membership cards of more ten million members of the Nazi party, 15% of the population joined the party.
For decades  the Germans prevented thet the files back to Germany for fear that information was known and membership cards corresponding to many of the government members , army and German society, from writers to musicians , even philosophers, were hidden.

  

   Guess who was appointed responsible for keeping the files of members of the Nazi party when they were returned by the Americans?

  Another nazi of course. Wolfang A. Mommsen, that had worked in the occupied Soviet Union before 1945 and was member of NDSAP.

   A cuel irony is that team that dealt with the prosecution of former Nazi criminals  , guess what ? , Yes were also nazis !. in the headquarters of the State Justice Aministration in Ludwigsburg

Forced by a parlamentary group, the German Government, so late as  December 2010 (¡!)  give a list with the names of 26 government minister and a chancellor who had been members of the NSDAP or other criminal organizations as SS, SA, Gestapo before 1945. 

Real killers !

Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor of Germany from 1974 to 1992 and member of Nazi Party

 Only in 1979 the Bundestag lifted the statute of limitations for murder and genocide once and for all with a majority of 255 votes to 222, not a great diference and 222 of them wanted to exonerate criminals and Nazi murderers children for ever , 43,5% of the German parliament, and in 1979 !, 

What a luck that the Germans had repented of their crimes !. Ha, Ha…

 More nazis in the goverment of Germany :

Klaus Bremm general inspector of the Bundeswehr

Helmut Schlesinger President of the Bundesbank
