Last Words of Nazis and Military Officers before Executions Nuremberg Trial 

In case you missed it they were hanged along with the nine other condemned defendants from the first Nuremberg trial 😴😩

Fact that most people do not know: on 16 October all condemned defendants were hanged along the other condemned defendants from the first Nuremburg trial.

A little tip: You could have shortened the video by a minute if you didn't say "He was executed along with the other nine condemned prisoners" when detailing EVERY SINGLE PRISONER!

Remember if you want midroll ads just make sure to add "along with the 9 other defendants in the first Nuremberg trial" to every other sentence.

My father, Capt. Rex Morgan, US Army, was Chief of Mortuaries of the European Theater, during and after WW2. He and his men were responsible for establishing temporary American cemeteries on the continent, several of which became permanent. Dad had two big claims to fame in this role. He oversaw General George Patton’s funeral - picking out the casket and dressing the general for burial. Dad can be seen in news reels walking behind the coffin during the funeral procession. Dad also attended the Nuremberg hangings and was put in charge of disposing of those remains. The bodies were taken in secret to a crematory in Munich. Dad put Herman Goering, who cheated the hangman by committing suicide by taking cyanide, into the crematory oven first, followed by the others. The cremation process took all day. Dad dispersed the ashes in secret and destroyed the urns with hatchets. My father never liked the decision to hang the men. He thought it set a dangerous precedent. Like many of his generation, he didn't speak much of his WW2 experience. He put that chapter in his life behind him and went on to have a very successful and fascinating life.

This is indeed interesting content and good information, but watching it completely feels like I too was hanged along with the 9 other condemned defendants in the 1st Nuremberg trial

You can bet that, "I take full responsibility for my actions" was not anyone's last words.

I half expected someone to say "It was fun while it lasted!"

Let me guess, there were nine other convicted defendants from the first Nuremberg trials.

Great video, nothing like it out there. Very good information. Thank you!

An American physiologist ask a question to one of the 9 condemned Germans. He asked how did you get the people, the German people to accept and go along with all the invasions, Poland & USSR etc.. "The people? the people can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders. all you have to do is tell them they're being attacked, denounce the peacemaker for lack of patriotism and expose the country to danger. it works the same in any country, whether it be a dictatorship, monarchy, parliament or democratic secular society" --Hermann Goering commander of the German Luftwaffe 1946... This bombshell of a quote has been used and abused over and over again on us Americans..

Those 9 other defendants got hung 9 times! Wow

Long live the German , people. Love all the medals they win every four years at Olympics . Their genes are amazing.

Know your history, for it is bound to repeat.

It’s amazing how they loved they country until the end

Hello, I am trying to find any info on the internet were those condemned defendants also hanged along other condemned defendants from the first Nuremburg trial? Does anyone know. I might have skipped it if it was in the video...

My polish grandfather survived the second war. The Russians invaded Poland September 17th 1939 how come France and Britain did not declare war on Russia for invading Poland. The communist Russian soldiers massacred innocent polish civilians and unarmed soldiers in Katyn Forest no war crimes were ever charged against Russia. When the second war was over all the Allied forces portrayed Poland let communist Russia occupy their country from 1945 till 1989. The Polish people fought for 50 years for their independence. Russia and Japan should have been charged with war crimes.

1:55 It is interesting that Ribbentrop already knew what was coming after WW2. He knew the conflict of the cold war was coming which is quite interesting

Great to know about this part of History and what these people faced at Nuremberg trials

Thank you very much for your videos are very interesting! Duken schun! By the way, your voice is beautiful 🌻♥️🌻

My uncle Tony was an Oz war correspondent in the Far East. He said he didn't want to see another hanging.

What happened to the other nine defendants of the first Nuremberg trial? I must have missed that part

I spent 60 days as a guard while serving in the US Army at Spandau Allied Prison in Berlin 1958-1963 the prisoners there at the time was Rudolf Hess Albert Speer Baldur Von Schrauch

Last words. " Will it hurt ?" Reply " No one has complained yet "

Excellent commentary. You are very well spoken. I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you ♥️🇨🇦

My uncle was in General Pattons us 3rd Army .He was a security police officer at the Nuremberg Trials .He was 18 years ..

I am not European. Thank you for the well kept documentaries,

I'll subscribe if you do a video on the 9 other defendants at the first Nuremberg trial. Promise...

You forgot Julius Streicher also said “Purim Fest 1946”.

It is hard to believe that so few were held accountable for the deaths of so many...

Frightening how normal people can become monsters. Go with the crowd and do the most disgusting things to others.

What is unique to Germany is that they call their country the 'Father Land', no other country says this. All other countries call their land the Mother Land...

They can say whatever they want, yet they will have to face the creator for what they inflicted on his creation.

Streicher was horrific but he never quit.

Amazing video! I just have one question: Were they hanged along with the other nine defendants convicted in the first Nuremberg trial?

Well, he was right about the Bolshevicks!

It will always baffle me how differently one and the same thing can be handled. While the Allieds treated German war criminals super harshly they helped to brushed the countless Japanese warcrimes under the carpet. Simply despicable.

Not one word of regret or accountability for what they had done.

Excellent presentation. I liked how you lined everyone up by the timeline of their deaths in numerical order. None of these men expressed remorse or repentance.

Well done...last words excellent

Liked and subbed. 👍

Thank you for video.

From the times of the executions, they were doing them in rapid succession like an assembly line

Regarding "their last words" it is worth mentioning that Gen.Wilhelm Keitel was the only one who explicitly stated that he had taken part in/being part of criminal schweinerei and he regretted that (or something to that effect), I think he is the only one who expressed that and in so doing he was not avoiding the blatant and outright truth, the other handful who articulated some kind of remorse did it in a "muffled" vocabulary (not even Speer delivered something equal aloud), on a graded scale he is the one (possibly together with Speer) who admits guilt to some extent-for a man who showed subservient stupidity (and many less flattering characteristics) on so many occasions he managed to raise himself somewhat during the last days, if any relatives of his are alive today I think this is what they should remember of him.

Ahhh, those were the days. Those were the days of no endless appeals and legal maneuvers that merely drain taxpayer dollars to be given to lawyers. In fact 99% of lawyers give the rest of them a bad name.

Conspiracy of committing crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity.... churchill was guilty of all three but lived to become the "greatest Briton of all times." Pretty ironic.

So nobody said "Hang On"

Not sure why but when I hear her repeating “along with the nine other condemned defendants from the first Nuremberg trial” I keep thinking “and a partridge in a pear tree”.

imagine having a nap and out of no where being waken around 1a.m to hit the hopes.... its like a real life night mare

History has a real sense of repeating itself.

No mention of streicher’s newspaper? Serious omission.

The timing of the executions is interesting. Albert Pierrepoint, the Official British Executioner, always allowed bodies to hang for half an hour after the drop. When he was drafted in to help execute over a hundred convicted war criminals in a few days, he did so by insisting they built a second gallows and cutting the time between executions form half an hour to 20 minutes. These would seem to be much more frequent assuming they only had one gallows.

Streicher also screamed “Purim Fest 1946!” before he went to a warm place.

where can i find videos of those 9 other condemned defendants from the first Nuremberg trial😢

I was stationed in Berlin from 1969 thru 1971 in the US army. I guarded Rudolph Hess at Spandau prison.it was very creepy.

Can’t be told enough. Tell the story of the horrors of Nazis again and again.

That first one wishing for peace, so weird to hear the things they say but knowing the things they have done.

You fail to note that Seys Inquart was reichskommissar of the The Netherlands.

Perhaps taken out of context, some of the last words came to be fulfilled in the post-war rebuilding of German sectors and more so after the recent reunification of Germany.

Thank you very much. Very good clip

My American grandfather fought for the U.S. in WW1. Ironically so did my German grandfather, my mothers father, for Germany in WW1 AND WW2. Both my grandfathers were born in 1888. I got to meet my German grandfather in 1980 when he was 92 while visiting with my mom when I was 13. He knew some English since in WW1 he was captured and held prisoner in England . He seemed very excited to talk with me and my sister. He talked of being prisoner in WW1 in England. I learned later about his WW2 service. It was toward the end of the war in 1945. Hitler was losing and getting desperate and called up older Germans to serve. He was 52 when sent to fight the oncoming Russians. Apparently the march became too much for him and he knew he would fall out in time so he and another solder feigned exhaustion and fell out, then got up and defected back home. He buried his weapon under a concrete entrance to the back of his house. Many may see this as a cowardly act I suppose, but he had ten children back home and did not want to leave them fatherless, which surely would have happened. Soon after he was discovered as a deserter and proceedings were being initiated to process him for this crime. However, Germany was defeated and it never came to pass. Apparently there were many such desertions in the end and other saw no reason to die for a war inevitably to be lost. Had I not been 13 and wiser , I would have thanked him for his service in 2 wars and for saving himself. But I was just a dumb kid really. My mind was just full of Holocaust images and could not grasp the greater scope of that terrible war.

Did she really have to remind us that they were hung with the 9 other defendants at the 1st trial after every bloody person.I think we all got the picture,they where hung together

Less "along with the nine other defendants of the first Nuremberg Trial", and more about the crimes they were found guilty of!

One day the truth of this war will be widely known.

Take one thing from me today guys, humans will never ever learn from their mistakes, instead they will continue doing great evil, again and again...

They never considered that they'd have to answer for their crimes because they never thought they were committing crimes! They were delusional!

The three nazis in your thumbnail pic, Goering, Hess and Speer weren't hanged. Just saying.

Where are the words of Dr Karl Brandt? It was a shocking truthful indictment of the USA - words that are even truer today!

you've said "along with the nine other condemned defendants from the first Nuremberg trial" like 11 times in the video xD

I once spoke to a survivor of the bataan death march who served with my uncle. Words cannot describe the anger I feel over these atrocities

The Victor writes the History.

I think most Germans after WWII regretted they lost the war... not the attrocities. Otherwise they would not have fought till the bitter end.

Many people did not learn much from the events leading up to the war or they are just ignoring those lessons . Well we are ready to repeat that tragedy which will be much more devastating.

Humanity is so cruel...

Interesting information, although the phrase, "along with the 9 other condemned defendants of the first Nuremberg trial", didn't really need to be repeated 10 times.

Wow! Not one apologized for what they had done!

Sometimes I tend to wonder why such men even allowed themselves to be captured only to be put on trial knowing there wouldn't be any hope at the end of the tunnel for them. Why not at least try to hide and escape before being caught? It would've been easier for them to do back then than it would be today.

So, was each person hung along with the nine other condemned defendants from the first Nuremberg trial?

Hitler's last words WERE recorded !! He said : " Next time......no more MISTER NICE GUY !!"

Fascinating that the executions were carried out on the SAME day and in such a methodical manner. 'Bing, Bang, BOOM'. No doubt in order to eliminate any emotional outbursts from the condemned.. 💀

Sometimes I feel comments are AI generated.

very interesting...Thank you.

Excellent!

Thank you. These men died with little indication of conscience. I don’t support imposing death, and I don’t suppose such trials are easy to conduct, but I think holding leaders responsible for offensive atrocities is right. And I would include leaders of multinational corporations that destroy and endanger life.

I served the US Army from 1981 to 1987. Did my officers commit crimes of which I'm not aware? Am I legally liable for being a member of that organization?

Imagine trying to go to sleep and getting woke up to get hanged.

this story is told in the most sleep-inducing way.....

Guy front row center in the thumbnail is Rudolf Hess, and he wasn’t hanged. Died of old age in Spandau prison in Berlin….never heard he had any last words.

The Soviet Union judging Germany for war crimes is absurd.

All these evil men got far better deaths than they gave their victims.. These monsters killed even little children and babies besides men and women and their cruelty knew no bounds. Justice served as far as I'm concerned.

Hanging defeated Generals is a controversial step. Their job is to conduct wars on behalf of their country. When Porus was defeated by Alexander, he was asked how he should be treated, he replied, "like a king treats another king."

When you look over Ribbentrops career, I'm still not sure why they chose to hang him, it comes off as nothing but spite. Keitel at least you could pin things like the standing order to execute commandos and other such breeches of the laws of war. He may have been a lame yes-man, but the buck stopped with him on those things. The rest of the gang quite asked for their fates, Goering included. I suppose it's easy to second-guess 80 years later. Never was sure either why Hess was stuck in prison for life, he didn't seem to earn that really, and seemed fairly nuts.

The sad thing is the hypocrisy!! This is still going on, and sometimes by us, and the world stays silent…….

Oh I want to hear their last words. Powerful video.

Han Frank I believe said it would take a thousand years for the crimes committed by Germany to be forgotten or forgiven ? ( not said on his day of hanging ) I think he was wrong there, the crimes committed will never ever be forgotten or forgiven.

This was a very good video. Suggestion: What were the last words of female Nazis before they were hanged?

At the 5th iteration, i'm pretty sure we all understood that they've all been hung along with the other 9 condemned defendants from the first nuremberg trial

Good video. I am curious why the men were hanged at such an early time in the morning rather than during regular day hours. There must have been some reason.

speer showed remorse (or so he claimed) and was spared the death penelty though he got 20 years, while another one who was as guility as speer who didnt show remorse was put to death

The hang times were unreal! I guess they were all standing in a single line.
