Execution of Nazi "Butcher of Warsaw" & his absurd posthumous wedding - Franz Kutschera

Franz Kutschera, the son of a gardener, was born on 22 February 1904 in Oberwaltersdorf, then part of Austria-Hungary. The First World War began on 28 July 1914 and upon completing his primary school, Kutschera began service in the Austro-Hungarian Navy as a ship's boy. Following the end of the First World War on 11 November 1918 and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, he followed in his father's footsteps and became a gardener. From 1920 to 1928, Kutschera lived in the Sudetenland, a border area of Czechoslovakia containing an ethnic German majority.
In December 1930 he joined the Austrian Nazi Party and in November 1931 became a member of the SS. In January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany, and he fully intended to bring about an Austro-German union. However, Germany was not immediately militarily and diplomatically ready to carry out Hitler’s foreign policy goals. First, Hitler and other Nazi leaders focused on establishing a Nazi dictatorship. However, behind the scenes, the Nazi leadership began planning territorial expansion and a European war almost as soon as they took power.

Thank you Word History very much for the title and proper description of Franz Kutchera. He was German Nazi murderer behind the desk. And he was one of very numerous citizens of Austria that became war criminals during WW2.

The underground operatives’ pseudonyms were „Lot” and „Cichy”, not „Lota” and „Cichego”. In Polish there is something called the conjugation of names by cases, and that’s why people who don’t speak the language write them in the wrong way.

Compared to the attempt on Heydrich's life, the attempt on Kutschera's was highly professional. In Prague, everything that could have gone wrong failed, the assassins, the weapons and the entire plan failed. Heydrich died of an infection that could not be cured because the Germans did not have antibiotics. Meanwhile, in Warsaw, everything was done professionally; from reconnaissance, planning to execution. Kutschera's identity and function were secret, classified and hidden from the public, no one knew who his true identity and function. He was always accompanied by bodyguards. Heydrich was widely known, he drove an open convertible (and even walked) around Prague without protection. This alone shows the dramatic difference in the difficulty of performing both assassinations.

Much respect for all the victims. VALE.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Excellent video, but I wonder about the title,. Shouldn't he be described as Austrian instead of German?
