Downfall - German General Helmuth Weidling

Downfall 2004 - Rent or own full movie: amzn.to/3SowDGH
In 1942, young Traudl Junge (Alexandra Maria Lara) lands her dream job -- secretary to Adolf Hitler (Bruno Ganz) at the peak of his power. Three years later, Hitler's empire is now his underground bunker. The real-life Traudl narrates Hitler's final days as he rages against imagined betrayers and barks orders to phantom armies, while his mistress, Eva Braun (Juliane Köhler), clucks over his emotional distance, and other infamous Nazis prepare for the end.

[@mp1314]

@@edgaraquino2324just to be completely correct, Weidling held the rank General (der Waffengattung), which is indeed equivalent to a three star, but Generalleutnant (Lt. General) was only the second general rank in the Wehrmacht. Only later in the Bundeswehr the German general ranks were aligned with US Army ranks, as was the description of „three stars“

[@genericpersonx333]

To be technical, any officer of the Wehrmacht below the rank of Generalfeldmarschall was always obligated to submit to orders from a Generalfeldmarschall. Weidling, thus, would have been required to follow any orders from a Generalfeldmarschall if any had been forthcoming. However, as things were in Berlin in the battle, the only Generalfeldmarschall of significance was Keitl and he was operating as an administrative head of the Wehrmacht, not concerning himself with the management of the defense of the city. He was "busy" managing the Wehrmacht as a whole, leaving field command to Weidling. Long and short, Weidling answered directly to Hitler during his tenure as Commander of the Berlin Defenses, no Generalfeldmarschall exercising their authority over him in practice.

You knew that deserters were executed, so it was either maybe die fighting, or definitely die deserting.

[@michaelterry1000]

@@Citiesinmotionplayer It would be interesting to know the survival rates of German soldiers that deserted vs those that continued to fight. The numbers may depend on when it was that you deserted.

[@JGRMSTR-ts6je]

General Weidling was born in 1891. In WW1 he served with the artillery, then with the airship fleet as first officer and later commander of several Zeppelins. In WW2 he served in Poland and France, then on the eastern Front. He commanded an "armored corps" in the last stand at the Seelow heights. After the scene depicted here, he was made commander of the Berlin area, under strict orders not to surrender despite the hopelessness. After Hitler shot himself, he ordered the surrender of the remaining forces. His surrender orders were: "On 30 April 1945, the Führer committed suicide, and so has abandoned those who have sworn loyalty to him. According to the Führer's order, you still believe you have to continue fighting for Berlin even though our lack of heavy weapons and ammunition as well as the overall situation make further resistance appear meaningless. Every hour you keep fighting prolongs the horrible suffering of the civilians in Berlin and of our wounded. Every soldier who would still die at this point would be sacrificing himself in vain. Together with the commander-in-chief of the Soviet forces I order you to stop fighting immediately. In 1955, Weidling died of a heart attack in a soviet prison camp.

[@whiteknightcat]

"died of a heart attack" ... so the Soviets said.

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

Separate and stratified command and military structure is one of the hallmarks of fascist governments. Why do you think the Waffen SS was created in the first place? To have a parallel military component separate from the Herr. The same reason that in Russia today the Rosgvardiya exists separate from the Army and the FSB.

Sad ending for him. Helmuth Weidling wasn't really a Nazi so much as a loyal German officer serving his country, and he served with honor and integrity, he ignored orders for summary execution of commandoes and partisans, treated POWs with respect, and discouraged looting and pillaging by his junior officers. As Commander of the City Defenses during the final battle of Berlin he did everything he could to maintain some semblance of order, stopped the Walking Court-Martials, ignored the orders to flood the subways which would have murdered the civilians sheltering in them, and he surrendered the city to the Russians as soon as he was legally able to do so (as soon as all his superiors were dead or fled). Sadly the Stalin needed an example, someone to put up before the cameras and show how Soviet Justice works, and all the better choices were either dead, fled, or were smart enough to surrender to the West where they had some chance. So Weidling was taken by the Soviets, put on a show-trial, and spent the remainder of his life in a Siberian Gulag.

[@sammessenger1170]

"While Weidling was in command, XLI Panzer Corps was responsible for an atrocity committed by the Wehrmacht in the Soviet Union during the war. Up to 50,000 civilians were deliberately infected with typhus, and placed in a "typhus camp" in the area of Parichi, Belorussia, in the path of oncoming Red Army forces, in the hopes that would cause a massive outbreak of typhus among the Red Army soldiers. That was noted by the commander of the 65th Soviet Army, General Pavel Batov, months later when it found itself facing the same corps in the Battle of Berlin." I would never claim that the Soviet late/post-war trials were by any means justice, but this particular guy maybe isn't the one you should try to defend.

When he grabs the medal and says you see this, don't talk to me like that... I assumed that was a reference to his rank or a medal for bravery or something that meant he should get more respect. But the other 2 guys have the same medal from the looks of it. Can anyone explain what you think he meant by this? what's he implying / referencing? cheers

[@dottorekaoz8679]

I am not sure, but Weidling had the Ritterkreuz with Eichenlaub and Schwertern (knight's cross with oak leaves and swords), while the others seem to miss these extras...

[@mikeggg5671]

It's amazing, that some people who turned out to be truly vile bastards, still did amazingly heroic things. This general, who grabs his metal as you say, earned it in battle. So did the other two. However, they were ultimately moved into cushier positions, and so even though they carried the same metal, they turned out to be horrible people

[@radite2177]

Not exactly.. while three of the medal are called Iron Cross there are stage level of it (5 stages if Im not mistaken) and the one that says "continue" have the lowest stage of the medal while the general have Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords which are number 3 out of 5 level. The lowest Iron Cross are common given to soldier that do bravery/heroic act while above that you need do more something special and bigger than that for sure :D You can check this, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight%27s_Cross_of_the_Iron_Cross#Knight's_Cross_with_Oak_Leaves_and_Swords

[@wanderschlosser1857]

​@@radite2177All 3 got the Knights Cross, which was the only Iron Cross worn around the neck. Weidling likely had a few more add-ons like oak leaves, swords, etc. Anyway, no matter the add-ons, getting a Knight's Cross required quite some achievements in the military. Even if all 3 would have the same it still requests a certain level of respect talking to each other which Weidling demanded.

[@tomtom34b]

You get add-ons to the medal, basically re-awards. Your service is regarded to be enough to get the highest medal, you already have it, you would receive it again, so you get an add-on instead, basically. And these add-ons would indicate that you earned it several times. That´s what he was pointing out. For infantry-men and generaly Heer or army units, this would not necessarily be direct action in a fight (you don´t need to take out T34s with satchel charges as a colonel, but if you happen to do so, okey that counts...) , but also leadership of the troops you command and how well you command them. But in the airforce, it was common to advance by air kills. Marseille, aka known as the Star of Afrika, was a fighter pilot who had a much lower rank than Field marshal Rommel or Kesselring, who did completely other things to earn these medals and add-ons respectively. Marseille received the highest degree of addons by air kills vs western pilots. However Rudel, a Stuka pilot, received all these addons and then.. received these add-ons in GOLD to his Knights Cross, as the only german. This reward was made specifically for him. I guess even Hitler had to salute him first, LOL. But, yeah, there was a "seniority" in this medal, it came in different classes. So that explains what he was pointing to. I assume there were two types of soldiers who would get the medal: The ones who deserved it, and knew what it took to receive it, and the ones whose turn it was, and they kinda got it for political reasons. Krebs and Burgdorf strike me as the latter, while Weidling strikes me as the former. The former would never disrespect the latter, but vice versa makes sense.

@@MobiusCoin In the early years of the war, the Knights cross was like the british Victoria cross, the highest order you could get for bravery. To have a Knightscross in 1942 like Weidling was heroic. To have Oakleaves and swords ment that he earned it 3 times. He also wears the "german cross" wich means that he nearly missed out a 4th time. Later but especally after d Day the knightscros was "given aweay" to produce heros for their PR mashinery. To cover the fact that they were loosing the war. To show what the early knights cross meant to the public you can look to the 17th March 1941. On that day, 3 geman submarines engaged a convoy. The three captains been Otto Kretschmer (knights cross) Joachim Schepke (knights cross) and Günter prien (knights cross and objectivly one of the best soilders of all time) went for it and well.... U100 of Shepke was ramed and Schepke died, Prien got sunk and Kretschmer was captured. When the leaders in Berlin learned about that, they decided to give the public only one loss per day, because it would be bad for the moral to loose heros on one day. (Well technically its the second highest, there was also the "great german cross" but the only person who ""earned"" it, was the person who made it, Göring himself)

"Do you see this? I dont you to use that tone with me" "Bro all three of us have that same medal"

[@mikeggg5671]

All three of them actually earned that medal. It was not an easy medal to get. But he is reminding them at that point.

[@leavenoonebehind8015]

I think that was a medal from ww1, so the others are too young to have fought in that war, but he did that too

[@mikeggg5671]

@@leavenoonebehind8015 no that's thr Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. In German Ritterkreuz

[@radite2177]

Not exactly.. while three of the medal are called Iron Cross there are stage level of it (5 stages if Im not mistaken) and the one that says "continue" have the lowest stage of the medal while the general have Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords which are number 3 out of 5 level. The lowest Iron Cross are common given to soldier that do bravery/heroic act while above that you need do more something special and bigger than that for sure :D You can check this, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight%27s_Cross_of_the_Iron_Cross#Knight's_Cross_with_Oak_Leaves_and_Swords

Es ist nur ein Film und nicht mal ein Guter. Die Realität schaut anders aus.

[@AngelNavarro-bn8if]

May someone explain to me, why some soldaten salute the general whilest some do not?

[@siraco4278]

I think most who don't salute him are wehrmacht soldiers who know the war will be over in a few hours, so dont keep up anymore with strict protocol. And the ones who do salute like the one in camo do so because they are fanatic ss soldiers. The S.S soldiers volunteered so they are more fanatic
