Nuremberg Trial Day 199 (1946) Field Marshal Erich von Manstein Direct Dr. Hans Laternser 

Danke fürs hochladen. :) Thanks for this upload. :)

The questions are fair and polite, in clear German. The accused are given time to explain their actions. I am impressed with the clarity of the spoken German. Beautiful! Manstein does not blame anyone. He describes the historical context of the time, including the effects and ongoing legacy of the WW1 context. In fact, he often alludes to WW1. The lesson we can all learn is that war is bad and we should avoid it. Had I been round at the time, and a German, I would have been proud to have Manstein as my leader. I am sure that the court would have respected him also.

“When this war is over we will be accused of an infinity of murder as if all men at war everywhere hadn’t behaved in the same way” The Forgotten Soldier

He expresses himself clearly, succinctly and logically. Very typical of someone brought up in a Prussian/German environment.

Thanks dir this vid

I expected a deeper tone of voice from Field Marshall Von Manstein.

He had a high pitched voice. First time i have heard him speak. Doenitz too was a squeaker.😊

Der taktisch und strategisch größte Generalfeldmarschall der damaligen Wehrmacht!!! Treue um Treue.....

General von Manstein ist ein Held gewesen, den Hitler nicht leiden konnte.

Los sovieticos le tenian la celda lista en sus famosos campos de reeducacion ,pero nunca se imaginaron que Manstein terminaria como uno de los principales asesores de la Otan en la Guerra Fria .Si no me equivoco ,en la foto donde sale fumando se alcanza a distinguir en su uniforme el escudo de los vencedores de Sebastopol .

Interessant zu hören, was die Angeklagten gesagt haben. Ohne Zensur und ohne Kommentar. Sehr schön. Das damalige Gericht ist anzuzweifeln.

Is this testimony available in English translation?

Where are the video?

These Nuremberg Trial videos are historically quite significant, but they would be much better with either a voiceover translation or subtitles.

WAITE A MINUTE; VON MANSTEIN WENT ON TRIAL FOR BEING A GENERAL ON THE LOSING SIDE?

3:05 "Als outsider" dass ein Wehrmachtsgeneral schon Anglizismen benutzt, das ist bemerkenswert.

En 1939, en una sola fábrica de tanques rusa producían más tanques que en todas las fábricas alemanas. En la primer arremetida, los alemanes destruyeron 35.000 tanques y carros blindados estacionados al Oeste para... invadir Europa.

Strange how the caption and description is in English, but they provide no English subtitles. What's the purpose of that? They lure in English speaking people...due to the English caption, then they throw German at us. What the heck is that about?

The story goes that at the Berlin Victory Banquet in 1945, after Russian troops performed their gruelling "Soldier's Dance" with military precision, Patton - not wishing to be upstaged - immediately launched into "Dixie" with a fine, soaring falsetto, gracefully conducting himself with his own gold-plated General's Swagger Stick. His high-pitched canteen opera naturally stole the whole show with broken champagne glasses and raucous applause. Unfortunately, Stalin and Zhukov were so unnerved by Patton's singing, they were forced to evacuate the minstrel's tribute with Explosive Vibratory Flatulence (EVB}. A condition, by the way, the State Department uses to this day for diplomatic leverage at all high-level talks.

Von Manstein was a great officer

"WE DEFEATED THE WRONG ENEMY!" Now we are paying the price

I apologise ifI'm being stupid but not speaking German I cannot follow any of this . The Robert h Jackson Centre should surely have a German name .

Die Stimme ähnelt sehr der von Karl Dönitz.

Vaya valientes. Tirandole toda la culpa al muerto, a alguien que no puede defenderse.

Fair justice of the victorious Allies! They never disarmed their military forces after WW 1, no on the contrary they were deploying more and more military. France: 724.000 Belgium:113.000 Germany:100.00 Poland: 275.000 Sowjets:885.000 This a ratio of about.....a bloody lot. They elegantly broke their promises! And the so called Polish victims tried to force the French at about 3x to start a two-frontline -war against Germany between the years of 1919 to 1933. Years before Hitler came to power. They also circulated maps depicting the new borders to their West, for instance, in the vicinity of our capital Berlin. Not to mention their policy about treating their minorities in the most cruel and apalling way. Hence killing, rapeing and ransacking about 58.000 Germans living in Poland due to the stupid and severing borders fullfilling the Versailles Dictate. While declaring war on Germany on the 3rd of September, they never declared war on Russia although they invaded Eastern Poland on 17.9.1939! And which conclusions do we draw about the Jewish DECLARATION of war on Germany on the 24.3.1933? Was that just a joke? Welll we will never learn, because documentnare willneverHitler was in office for about 53 days only.Strange but evident....and I could go on and on about Roosevelt and Churchill etc. If you have further questions it would be my pleasure to enlight you about the historical events taking place in this period of time.

Sadly there's no English subtitles. The fallen liberators families would have wanted to hear what Manstein had to say.

'It was nothing to do with me, guv!' Please, you only need to read through the KTBs of various units on the eastern front to know what a pile of BS this is. The whole gang should have faced the firing squad.

Der Sieger schreibt die Geschichte...

Convicted and sentenced to eighteen (18) years and only served four (4).

Who is the best german general? Manstein or Rommel?

Greatest Commander of all time in the whole world.

mein Onkel-Urgroßvater.

Where are Stalin, Churchill, Truman and other criminals to be judged by justice?

As the accusations of war crimes and the validity of their innocence gets pointed in the comments, lest not forget that these men just like our honored servicemen and woman are all soldiers. Warriors who fought to the very end for their countries. Call it blind loyalty, but I see it as honorable valor to ones country. Each country played their role in terms of war crimes during WWII. At least they learned to be at least somewhat better in our modern society.

Talking like a canary...tweeting like a bird... that suits him! That's Manstein

A Great Prussian Style Commander. A great military leader and cultivated man .These were a class of military leaders like of which will never come again Their memory must be preserved. Indian Military Veterans salute then .

I Have footage farm Die Deutshe Wocensch videos which Gobbels team was broadcasting in theatres across Germany and Wermacht units, you can see in Baltic state Invasion that Jewish civilians are being stripped and shot, similarly when the Germans were sure of Soviet Union surrendering till Oct -1941, 2 million Soviet POW's were starved to death, only after when the realised they needed the POW labour did these POW have better survival rates, even Polish civilians trying to give some milk to Soviet POW's were shot by the Wermacht. The biggest post world war 2 myth was that of a clean Wermacht, most Wermacht leaders were for the Invasion of Soviet Union, belived in Utermenchen concept and performed the war of Anhilation on the Soviets, it was only at the Wars end they all pretended to be innocent.

My German's rusty wish it was in English please.

RIP heiliges Deutschland ❤

My German is so so. Auto translation is bad.

Best marschall maybe in Europe during WW2

Ich sage nur Jawoll!

Amazing Von Manstein

I don't believe he was a criminal,he was good at his job.

videl som Hákový kríž na moste necítil som nič a knihu ktorú som ešte nečítal nevidel môj boj ne prešla by mňe cez srdce mali chlapec 🧒

The German soldiers were grossly & unfairly hounded after the war. They were absolutely defeated and should have been left alone to go back and rebuild their broken and destroyed country. None of them deserved to be hanged or shot.

Genius interviewed by non-geniuses.

Sounds just like a Kraut _Patton._

Don't speak German so this is just jabbering to me

Why the hell were they allowed to smoke cigarettes during the Nuremberg trials …..if it was the other way around, they would be facing a firing squad.

Miss real men

Schachmatt Herr Feldmarschall! Mit 4 Jahren ist er noch gut weggekommen.

None of this is any good without fucking subtitles. ....

Rudol Hess wird am wenigsten vermisst und erwähnt, schon komisch RUDOLF HESS hat gelebt bis 1987 . Ich habe das Gefühl das Rudolf Hess einen Großen Teil zum Ost Block System und DDR Politik dazu beigetragen hat. Meine persönliche Meinung als alter West Deutscher Bürger und christ. Klaus - Dieter Scheffel geb. BURGET

Useless.

The man was a murderer and was complicit in the holocaust. I dont care how much of a 'genius' on the battlefield he may have been.
