The Pole Hanging Execution Of The German Luftwaffe General
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- At the end of World War 2, there was a German Luftwaffe General who was brought to an execution post/pole for his war crimes. He was sentenced to death for being involved in the aerial bombardment of Belgrade, and he was a very senior member of the German Air Force. He was even given orders during the Battle of Stalingrad to supply by air the German Sixth Army. But this failed, and at the end of the war he was executed in the very city where he inflicted a huge amount of terror.

Well..being Tito's (now fully Communist) Yugoslavia...this was (and the British knew it) a one way ticket. All down to politics and appeasing Tito
The Gorla massacre, also known as the bombing of Gorla, was an aerial bombing attack on Gorla, a neighborhood in Milan, Italy, conducted by the United States Army Air Forces in October 19441. During this tragic event, 184 children (known as the “Piccoli Martiri di Gorla”) along with their teachers lost their lives when an Allied air raid struck the entire Milanese district of Gorla
Folks, remember the Victors are always correct and the losers are the Bad ones!!
Pronounced as Feebich, more or less, not Fyebig. Not that he's going to be worrying about that ....
Yeah, at very least it's pretty well known that the german "ie" sound like "ee", while it's the "ei" that sounds like "eye".
It can be quite annoying how the English make zero effort in pronouncing German names correctly.
His crime was losing the war.
If he was a war criminal for that bombing, what was "Bomber" Harris (Hamburg etc) ? And the American equivalents ? Hard to escape the accusation of "victors' justice" at times
You might got a point, but the Germans had started the war without being attacked and the bombing of Belgrade was not militarily justified but mere retaliation. And yes, most Eastern European trials of that time did not met western standards and often served rather political means.
I would share opinion that especially Britain was not in a good position to extradite or to punish people for air raids.
How many people were killed in London birmingham Coventry and other british cities by German bombers
@@bobbybates2614 ... by far not as much as in Dresden or Hamburg for example where they created fire storms.
@@LarsPW You're point is?
@@flickthenick Today both the rockets to Britain and the bombardements deliberately on civilians of German cities would considered as war crimes.
Harris wanted to alienate the Nazis but they achieved the opposite giving an idea that the western countries could actually be so bad as depicted in Nazi propaganda.
Und wo hängt Bomber-Harris?
Bomber-Harris wurde in den Adelstand erhoben, weil er auch unschuldige Zivilisten des mörderischen Deutschen Nazireiches töten liess. Merke: Nur die Kriegverlierer werden für ihre Verbrechen bestraft und exekutiert, niemals die Sieger. Selbst Stalin musste für keinen seiner Massenmorde und Tötung regimetreuer Kommunisten nach erfolteter Geständnisse von Verbrechen, die nie begangen oder auch nur versucht worden waren, büssen!
Yes!
If the Americans and British had lost the war many of their leaders, starting with Arthur Harris, could have been tried and hung under the exact same justification as this man. In fact American and British murder of innocent civilians by bombing was far worse. The US continues its crimes - 29 countries bombed since WWII with over 5 million civilian deaths. Murder is murder regardless of who does it, or the justification offered.
Sehr gute treffende Antwort ! 👍
Harris war nicht überrascht, ein Land zu bombardieren, mit dem er sich nicht im Krieg befand. Wer den Schneeball den Hang hinunterrollen lässt, kann nicht zur Verantwortung gezogen werden. Kommt Ihnen Gernika bekannt vor?
Vae Victus, meine Deutche freund, vae Victus.
6th Army surrendered in Jan-Feb 1943, not 1945. Otherwise great video as always.
...and Bomber Harries?
Luftmarschall Lord Harris gewann den Krieg im Gegensatz zu den Verlierern der Nazis wie Göring und Fiebig.
And General LeMay
I want to learn, but just can't listen to all the run-on sentences.
Britain declared war on Germany sept 3, 1939
Not the other way around
You are an excellent example of the saying: born stupid and learnt nothing!
Yes, Germany only invaded Britain's ally Poland, because of a devastating attack by Polish forces on a German radio station. Or so German propaganda stated. Now, who would you believe ?
A fact never highlighted .
@@tonybony5805 Ok? They were still declaring war on NAZIS.
What do you think Munich Agreement of 1938 is for? The West already bend over backwards and unwillingly sacrificed Czechoslovakia to stop a war. Do you think Hitler just trip and fell and started bombing and invading Poland by accident. "Oops, my bad. This won't start WW2 are we?!"
" Inside of Yugoslavia" " He was a very experienced man of the German airforce", Inside of Silesia" "Inside Nazi Germany" Pitiful.
Funny isn't it: how Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers Harris wasn't held accountable for doing exactly the same.
What about the bombing of German city Dresden in 1945 by British and American pilots ?. 25.000 people lost their lives.
Classic case of "winners write the history."
It was 50.000 not 25.000
I knew a man that was at the Banhuf while bombing started with his mother. They followed burned streets out. Where P52 Mustangs strafes them.
Dresden happened after many of the war crimes which Germany had committed.
Wer den Wind sät wird den Sturm ernten
Pronounce Fiebig as Fee big
Actually Fee-bik (at the end of a word, the "g" is like a k).
Also..forgive changing the record...was there not a stand off between Tito's partisans and the 8th Army somewhere contested in Northern Italy and Yugoslavia in 1945?
Lucky the Allies won, their air command would have been screwed for thir war crimes.
Thought thumbnail was photo of Bill Burr
Regardless of the content of each of these videos,I am sick and tired of this ridiculous English pronunciation of the narrator.Can't you find someone who speaks and pronounces proper English....the way its spoken by educated British people.Its a pain to the ears,listening to this narrator...
@@irenehartlmayr8369 As it is with most Tanks who only speak Redneck Hillbilly English.
The audacity of the allies man
It is pronounced FEE-BIG, *not* FEYE-BIG.
War is hell & people will die. Respect & love for all victims🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was following Orders.😮
Which at Nuremberg was dismissed..however in this day and age has made a comeback that certain people actually get away with saying to exonerate themselves..rather shocking wouldn't one say
@@HeavyDragoon Again, he was following orders. Obviously, YOU have never spent a day in uniform. If you don't obey orders, YOU are executed. Wake up, Dummy?
@@HeavyDragoon Speaking of Getting Away with crimes, Antifa rioted in Portland for 4 years, toppling historic statues/monuments, destroyed public/private property, looted businesses, burned buildings and when Police arrived and arrested these scumbags, they went crying to the ACLU. They received $35,000.00 each by Oregon Taxpayers. And they say, Crime doesn't pay?
Sein Verbrechen bestand darin, ein typischer deutscher Barbar zu sein.
What about American pilots who dropped atomic bomb on Japan ?
It’s ok if you’re the victor..rules for thee, not for me…
What happened to the pilots who bomb Pearl harbor and started the war? Nothing!
DRESDA, MONTECASSINO, NON MILANO THE AMERIDOGS DROPPED BOMBS IN A KINDERGARTEN: The Gorla massacre, also known as the bombing of Gorla, was an aerial bombing attack on Gorla, a neighborhood in Milan, Italy, conducted by the United States Army Air Forces in October 19441. During this tragic event, 184 children (known as the “Piccoli Martiri di Gorla”) along with their teachers lost their lives when an Allied air raid struck the entire Milanese district of Gorla
Are you a citizen of the United States?
Gentlemen, listen and learn: In a war, there are no such people as non combatant innocents. Wars are won by destroying the civilians of the opposition. It worked that way in Japan, it worked that way in Germany.
The Germans capitulated at Stalingrad in February 1943, nor 1945
Not the Germans, only the 6th Army ! 😅
@@robertdecker2240 I strongly suspect he knows that.
The German made one big mistake: they lost the war. Crimes committed by the Americans or the British and not to forget the Russians were never prosecuted because they won. Hypocrisy at the highest level.
Is that comedian Bill Barr in the clikbait?
It seems commenters forgot who started the war. The allies were responding to slaughter and invasion. There is a difference between naked aggression and counter punching by the Allies. The German and Japanese civilian deaths from allied bombing is in their leaders. They started and the Allie’s finished it. Same as the Hamas/Israel war in Gaza. Civilian deaths in Gaza is solely the responsibility of Hamas. Before the massacre: no bombing. After the massacre and rape of men, women and children, civilians are killed in bombs to kill cowardly Hamas using civilians as human shields.
Trollfabrik!
👍👍👍
The Americans did not start the war Hitler and Germany did.
What happened to Dresden was small fry compared to all the atrocities and crimes committed by Hitler and Germany
In Dresden even German Nazis of the SS, Gestapo and NSDAP were killed by the British and American bombs. They had dropped German bombs on civilians in Poland, UK and other countries from 1939 until 1944!
Hypocrisy!
If the Americans and British had lost the war many of their leaders, starting with Arthur Harris, could have been tried and hung under the exact same justification as this man. In fact American and British murder of innocent civilians by bombing was far worse. The US continues its crimes - 29 countries bombed since WWII with over 5 million civilian deaths. Murder is murder regardless of who does it, or the justification offered.
Small fries. Interesting view of cuvilian suffering. Well ok, Targeting almost every German civil population in all big cities and blowing nagasaki and hieroshima off the face of the earth may not add up to German and Japanese atrocities; but you sure tried hard to match the numbers, and it's hard to maintain a good guy image in face of the facts, isn't it?
Martin Feibig from the story is a very experience Luffwaffe fighter pilot.
But it is very sad that used his experience to serve the Nazi.
He wasted his experience for the Nazi.
It was the same story with his boss Goering both were war heros when they were very young but when they became Nazis it was their downfall and both had a bad end how sad talented people wasted their talents and dishonored themselves
mr. narrator get yourself a dialogue coach do a little bit of fact checking.. from the facts come the truth. That’s why in court we hear them say what are the facts. And maybe get AI to construct the narration so it flows better… if you don’t know how to pronounce a word find out the correct pronunciation that will stop you from sounding a little bit foolish, but thank you for your work
Yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
