Franz Reichleitner - Sadistic NAZI Commandant of Sobibor called " The IDIOT ". Franz Reichleitner was born on the 2nd of December 1906 in Ried im Traunkreis, then part of Austria-Hungary. He was 26 years old when on January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by German President Paul von Hindenburg. Reichleitner joined the Nazi Party in 1936 and became a member of the SS in 1937.
The SS - Schutzstaffel or Protection Squads - was originally established in April 1925 to protect Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders and speakers and provide security for political meetings."
In January 1929, at a time when the SS numbered 280 men, Hitler appointed Heinrich Himmler Reichsführer-SS. 4 years later, when the Nazis seized power in Germany, members of the SS numbered more than 52,000. As a reward for its role in murdering Ernst Röhm and the top leadership of the SA on June 30-July 2, 1934, Hitler announced that the SS was an independent organization. SS chief Himmler was now subordinate to Hitler in Hitler's new capacity as Führer of Germany. As Führer, Hitler was no longer a politician or chief executive bound by the legal constraints of the German State, but rather a symbol of Germany's future survival and greatness, with authority to act outside the laws of the state to guarantee Germany's survival and greatness. Himmler's subordination to Hitler within this “Führer-Executive” chain of command was the basis for the immense power that the SS accumulated during the Nazi regime. As SS chief, Himmler received authority directly from Hitler to carry out ideological policies that the laws of the state might not permit. This ideologically rooted “Führer authority” enabled authorization of indefinite incarceration in the concentration camp system and mass murder. Nazi leaders justified this extra-legal chain of command and the policies initiated under its authorization by the national emergency decrees following the Reichstag Fire in 1933 and, after 1939, by the intensified emergency created by the war.
When World War 2 started on 1 September 1939, Franz Reichleitner worked for the Nazi Euthanasia Program, code-named T4, which was the systematic murder of institutionalized patients with disabilities in Germany. The patients were transported by bus or by rail into 6 killing centers where they were murdered. In these centers the Nazis gassed, shot, or killed by lethal injections those who were deemed “unworthy of life “such as residents of welfare institutions, some concentration camp inmates, the chronically sick, the mentally and physically disabled, homosexuals, and even sick German soldiers. Reichleitner worked at the Hartheim Euthanasia Centre in Austria and served first as an assistant supervisor under officer Christian Wirth before assuming Wirth's position of chief supervisor.
The T4 program predated the genocide of European Jewry, the Holocaust, by approximately two years. Historians estimate that the program claimed the lives of 250,000 men, women, and children. In the fall of 1941, Nazi Germany implemented a plan to systematically murder the 2 million Jews living in German-occupied Poland. This plan was codenamed Operation Reinhard and as part of this action, three killing centers were established: Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor.
On 1 September 1942, with the rank of SS-Obersturmführer, on the orders of Christian Wirth and Odilo Globocnik, Reichleitner took command of the Sobibor extermination camp with Franz Stangl's departure to Treblinka.
German SS and police officials conducted deportations to Sobibor between May 1942, when the regular gassing operations began, and the fall of 1943. Most of the Jews brought to Sobibor were immediately gassed by carbon monoxide which had been piped into the gas chambers from an engine. About 250,000 victims were murdered in this killing center.

Reichleitner was one of the holocaust murderers who only a few people knew. This was caused by the lack of photos of Reichleitner. Fortunately the "Niemann album" contains some excellent photos of Franz Reichleitner. So his face became known under researchers of the SHOAH. The same fate as Demjanjuk-he always denied having been in Sobibor until the Niemann album came out....more obscure camp guards will follow from oblivion I suppose...

Hundreds of thousands of prisoners were allegedly killed with diesel exhaust. Only problem is it's IMPOSSIBLE to kill someone with diesel exhaust. Diesel exhaust is very safe, and even contains oxygen. That's why they use diesel engines on submarines and in underground mines. Don't take my word for it, research it. You won't find any study that shows that you can die from diesel exhaust. If a large element of a story is a lie, should you believe any part of a story? Ask any judge.

Such evil beasts the perpetrators of those atrocities were who murdered Jews and other innocent civilians in concentration camps and death camps (call them "murder mills") in Europe. Any SS guards who were killed by the revolting prisoners deserved the violent deaths they inflicted upon their victims. Well, those who sow violence will reap the same and more. Thank you for this eye-opening video. Keep on educating your subscribers and viewers about the danger of hating people who are simply different from others, whether they are Jewish, black, or something else.

Reichleitner was more of a drunk than a sadist. In just about every photo I've seen of the man, he looks sauced. With Wagner, Gomerski, Bolender, Bauer, Bredow, Frenzel and more, Sobibor was chock full of murderous thugs who put the commandant in the shade when it came to sheer cruelty. Still, he got what he deserved. As long as the channel is doing all the Aktion Reinhard killers it might be interesting to do an episode on Gottlieb Hering, the second commandant of Belzec. Over his life he went from an anti-Nazi to a sadistic death camp commander. His demise was a serious mystery.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 8 ай бұрын

Meh... with a little luck, in a battlefield hit, he took it in a lung... He could squirm and struggle and gurgle for a good half-hour on his own blood... That's pretty brutal... only a tad messier than swinging on a rope for 10 or 20 minutes... AND as long as he could still struggle, the son of a b*tch could cling to hope for rescue, recovery... keep trying all those tips for survival in the field... sitting upright as much as possible... direct pressure... controlled breaths... He could've lingered even longer than any half-hour, as a matter of fact... just slowly and steadily filling his lungs up even one at a time with steadily congealing and semi-gelatinous blood and foam... hehe... I rather enjoy that mental imagery. One can always hope... AND not for nothing, but when in a "real" firefight, you don't get to run around "making sure". The ammo has to be conserved, so you just put the enemies down, and as soon as they're no longer a threat, you move sights to the next and the next... SO it's not an outrageously forlorn hope... It's a pretty fair bet he died, struggling and choking... coughing out his innards... wallowing in muck and trying to scramble for cover... forced to stay still when the other soldiers got close... hoping against all the odds he actually had a chance... alone... scared to death... cold, wet, and miserable... eventually realizing the awful truth, that there was NO such hope, no rescue... no backup coming... not even the chance to surrender for anything more than a coup de grace in his brain-pan... and even hoping for that in the last few minutes... just for it to be over... ...and fade to black... ;o)
