Not ruthlessly executed. The Jewish victims of the death camps were ruthlessly executed. He was given a soldier’s death.

The death camps prisoners died of nutrition, diseases, etc

Not a soldier when you torture people. A sadist.

Outstanding reply. Spies know what happens when they are captured out of uniform. It's either turn or face your maker.

@chadrushing4685 12 күн бұрын

Saying he was brutally shot is a little misleading and dramatic. He was instantly killed for acting as a spy. Which the Germans would have tortured and executed you for.. much more brutally.

They were not commandos, they were ordinary soldiers put into a special operations group. They had no special training. This was not a commando mission in the traditional sense.

I just finished reading Damien Lewis excellent book about the SAS mission that went badly wrong in 44 with eight men being captured. The Gestapo tried to execute 7 of the men under Hitler's commando order but two escaped. The SAS set about finding the perpetrators and succeeded in bringing them to justice. The shot SAS men all wore British combat uniforms when captured but were ordered to get changed into civilian clothes so they could be treated as spies and not covered by the Geneva Convention. Three gestapo men were convicted of murder and hanged. The SAS major in charge of the investigation tried but failed to get them to face a firing squad.

What is the title of the book? Sounds interesting.

I've seen the videos of the executions a number of times in connection with The Battle of The Bulge. I've always been a bit curious who some of the Germans were that were shot. Thank you for the story.

The Americans were really frightened of the German commando's, Bradley was hiding in his Luxemburg villa for most of the Ardennes offensive. Eisenhower ordered British General Montgomery to take command of US Armies for the duration of the battle. Bradley and many senior US Officers were furious at Eisenhower's decision to sideline Bradley, threatening to resign. However Eisenhower stuck to his decision, placating Bradley by promoting him for winning the battle he never actually took part in.

Montgomery was responsible for the Market Garden fiasco that got thousands of allied soldiers KIA. He was the worst commanding officer on the allied side. Even the Germans thought he was basically incompetent.

Not entirely accurate, Ike tasked Monty with the units North of the bulge salient for tactical purposes. Bradley wasn’t happy, but Ike said “those are my orders Brad.” and hung up.

@@NewbieNewfie No, Bradley was in his Luxemburg villa, he had done nothing since the German attack on the 16th despite early warnings from Walter Bedell Smith on the14 December. The 12th Army Group had no effective, command, which is why Ike put Monty in charge on the 20th for the duration of the battle. The US 1st and 9th Armies were placed under Monty's 21st Army Group. The truth is that this was the first time 12th Army Group had been attacked in force, and they panicked. The rest was Eisenhower's botched attempt at saving face. Trying to get Monty fired for winning the battle, that wasn't going to fly.

@@billballbuster7186 Tja, so waren sie. Erst die Hosen voll, und dann haben solche Typen ein grosses Mundwerk. Aber dann, an den Rheinwiesen, als dort die deutschen Soldaten aus Hunger und Krankheiten, wie die Fliegen starben, und ein US-Offizier an Eisenhower, die Meldung machte, das bald 1 Million Deutsche Gefangene gestorben sind, kam Eisenhower mit der Antwort:" Na und, warum nicht mehr?" wer. Bisher habe ich keinen Bericht gesehen oder Gelesen, das jemals ein US-Soldat/Offizier, wegen Kriegsverbrechen an Deutschen Soldaten vor Gericht gestellt wurde, oder gar wegen solcher Taten erschossen wurde. Das sind so die Eigenschaften bei diesen Landsleuten, das sie sehr Doppelmoralisch sind

Very good video. I've seen several about this incident and it was quite well documented. However, I don't think they were dragged out to the posts, they were matched out with the soldiers prior to their execution.

I was stationed in Germany, one December all of the lieutenants took 5 days leave to walk/drive the Bulge. One of my peers was damn near pathological about finding the building where these fellas were executed. Not my cup of tea, but “all for one”. It was rather creepy.

The "Geneva Conventions" go to great lengths to cover and define every legitimate combatant, and give them status as such, and therefore the right to be treated as POWS if captured. (although it was arguable whether such things as a simple LDV/Home Guard /Volksturm ARMBAND actually qualified) Its hardly surprising then that for those who do NOT meet those relatively generous requirements, and who even intentionally wear an enemy uniform with a view to deception, that treatment is indeed harsh.

Just for info, the bunker they were shot behind still exists, although the stakes have long gone. It's chilling to think that the bullets which killed these - and others, too - are almost certainly still in the ground in the vicinity.
