Execution of Gerhard Flesch - From Bestial NAZI Killer in Poland to Sadistic Torturer in Norway

Gerhard Flesch was born on the 8th of October 1909 in Posen, today’s Poznań, then part of the German Empire. After Germany lost the First World War, which ended on 11 November 1918, Poznań became a part of Poland and the Flesch family moved to Bavaria. Flesch then studied political science and law in Marburg and married Ursula Richter. The marriage produced two sons - Tilo and Udo. During the Second World War he would have another child - a daughter Gerd Reidun - whose mother was a certain Anneliese Zechmeister.
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. The same year Flesch joined the Nazi Party and in 1934 he became a member of the SS. In 1936 he joined the Gestapo and Reinhard Heydrich, its chief, gave him the task by to monitor religious sects in Germany.

Now, the narrator sounds like he delivers his final line with a snarl! : )

[@roaropgard8575]

May the victims in Norway rest in peace 😢😢 We shed tears for you😭😭

[@Kazino790]

It is hard to believe how many unhealthy people lived at that time, who were merciless even to children😢

[@WorldHistoryVideos]

Unbelievable ... isn't it? We are shocked as well ..

[@diodebridge]

That's one of the reasons many people deny the holocaust. A lot of young people these days simply cannot believe the level of industrial murder thousands of officials in Nazi Germany partook in. Part of it is due to their own innocence, part of it is willful ignorance.

[@oskarrmason9617]

I love your work HW, so I would love you to tell the story of Karl Plagge (no relation to the war criminal Ludwig Plagge) the good German officer who saved Jews during the Nazi occupation of Vilnius, Lithuania.

[@ladycplum]

I L-O-V-E your channel. The best thing is when I hear of a Nazi I've never been aware of before. I have to admit, I'm not familiar with the Nazis who administrated much in Norway, other than Josef Terboven.

[@911Kongen]

I don't know if it is possible to change the image of the video, but if it is, change Trodheim into Trondheim. It might not be that important for most, but as an norwegian I did not understand that this was actually Trondheim in Norway before I saw the video.

[@WorldHistoryVideos]

Hello, sure. We have already corrected it and you should see the change in few minutes. Many thanks for correction. Have a nice day. Thanks for watching!

[@snoox27]

Nice to see a polite correction.

[@haraldsalbrechter8676]

Thank you for commenting on Norway and injustice. To my grandmother Christine Salbrechter , my uncle Franz, a former soldier in for example Bergen, gave a memory photo of a pretty lady with the signature " In Liebe" and "Solveig". Grandmother told me proba bly he had a child in Norway. I feel concerned how was the live of this lady and her child. Where could I possibly get information? My grandmother has been against investment of family members in NSism.

[@haraldsalbrechter8676]

she was quarreling fiercely with one of her daughters to stop her comitment to BDM.

[@akorn5800]

Hello sir please tell us the back ground music

[@odin7094]

The Russian's hanged was done on Walter Antonius Gemmecke's birthday! It didn't happend at Misjonshotellet '' SD HQ '' But in a villa at Gamle Oslovei '' Old Oslo road ''. 10:32 Is NOT Johnny Pevik but Odd Sørli, who also gave Rinnan the Coup de grâce at his execution! 10:42 NOT Rinnan or his gang!

[@Ulmerkotten1]

Just a small linguistic correction: "Weser" is river in Germany. "Ubung" means training, but the "U" is actually a german "Y". The correct prenounciation is: "Weser Ybung".

[@kotoko2759]

What’s the name of the instrumental song?

[@Immanuelmpeight]

❤

[@popcornhead3479]

What does guilty of ma da mean?

[@jameswells-green9476]

Calling this narrator's voice as robotic is rather harsh on robots.

[@nancycrowe9063]

God bless the victims that lost their lives from the Nazis🙏🙏🙏

[@carausiuscaesar5672]

Aye but what happened to Peter 😼AH’s beloved cat?

[@popcornhead3479]

What is Jamony and what is a Jamon?

[@keithmcwilliams7424]

It took three hours to conquer danmark

[@fredsimmons2793]

The depth and extent of Seventh Day Adventists church's collaboration with Hitler has been minimized,and I think their involvement should be focused on, considering their later involvement and participation in helping in the Rawandan genocide.They seem to always come out smelling like a rose.

[@lorenzbroll0101]

Grim. Yet another unknown malevolent fanatic.

[@Celtopia]

It's still pronounced "Stechen "Most Poles in Szczecin speak German as a second language. It is right on the border.

[@breedavis8838]

Germany might have defeated a few places but a lot of them soldiers were inbred

[@franceswhitley9378]

I like your channel but I find the robotic voice annoying. I would prefer to hear a “normal” human voice

[@WorldHistoryVideos]

We use a human voice, our colleague works with us for years ...

[@lamenzies]

Can you give an example of a normal voice? I consider this impeccable delivery, but I'm genuinely interested in your answer because I'm a linguist, and I like to hear other opinions about language.

You could be be speaking about the butcher of Gaza = Netanyahu
