Nazi Brute of Sobibor who tore Jewish inmates apart with his bare hands & whipped prisoners

Karl Frenzel, one of 3 sons of the railway worker, was born on 20 August 1911 in Zehdenick, then part of the German Empire. Karl Frenzel was among the millions who believed Hitler was Germany's only hope. In August 1930, he joined both the Nazi Party and the SA, or the Sturmabteilung, which was the Nazi paramilitary force also known as the Storm Troopers or 'Brownshirts' due to the color of their uniforms. By this time, Frenzel had been dating his first girlfriend, who was Jewish and whom he met in 1929. Their relationship ended after two years when her father discovered that Frenzel was a member of the Nazi Party. Several years later, she and her family emigrated to the United States to escape the growing anti-Semitic persecution in Germany.
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. In the summer of the same year, Frenzel, thanks to his connections within the Nazi Party, was able to secure a position as a police officer. However, after a few months, he left the police and took a job in a metal products factory. In October 1934, Frenzel married his wife Sofia and they bought the furniture for their new home from a Jewish merchant. Karl and Sofia were Christians and they went to church - as Frenzel later claimed - "if not every Sunday, at least every other or third Sunday". All of their five children were baptized The Second World War started on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Shortly before the outbreak of the war, Frenzel learned that trustworthy party members were being sought to participate in a "special task." This task turned out to be the Nazi Euthanasia Program, code-named T4, which involved the systematic murder of institutionalized patients with disabilities in Germany. 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 code-named Operation Reinhard, and as part of this action, three killing centers were established: Belzec, Treblinka, and Sobibor.
In April 1942, because of his experience in the T4 program, Frenzel was sent to the Sobibor extermination camp in German-occupied Poland.

Whilst I agree with your comment I would just like to add my opinion that any political agenda brings out the worst in people, how many people has communism killed for example, people who believe in democracy also will kill people who are quite happy living in whatever state they are living in, indoctrination I believe brings out the worst in people, all people are capable of evil if they are either put under or given the right circumstances.

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

I've always heard the expression, "the victors write history" but I never really came face-to-face with the fruition of what that statement means or saw examples of it. But now after studying World War II for several years very intensely, I can say that I definitely see what we have been doing to the history of Germany and the people who lived there during that time. We take the examples of individual circumstances and isolated occurrences, and don't get me wrong, there are some pretty dark shit there, but then we characterize the entire military or the entire population in that way. A good example is the ss. Ask most people and they will tell you that all the SS committed war crimes and by nature and by protocol these were "evil" soldiers. If you do proper research, not watch KZbin and pop-historians, you can actually find out the truth. For instance, this terrible guy's story illicit the assumption comment that these people "were quite common". I can't even count how many times the Wermacht is called "The Nazi Army" in documentaries and commentaries. To illustrate how ridiculous that is, it would be as if the US Army was called the Democrat Army under Clinton or the Republican Army under Bush

[@lonestarbug]

How about Communism and its monsters?

[@mariolasanda8116]

[@ChairmanPaulieD]

there's a KZbin video on here where a team of archeologists, engineers, British CSI analysts we're discovering human remains at the Sobibor death camp location. They were identifying small bone fragments nothing big of course but I think they were near the areas of where the cremation pyre's were located at and the gas chambers were located. It was just SICKENING 🤢🤮

I can't begin to imagine the Emotions Mr. Blatt felt during that Interview!

[@ChairmanPaulieD]

Thomas Blatt and Stanisław "Szlomo" Szmajzner remained lifelong friends and I'm 100% convinced that Szlomo avenged his family's murder by killing Gustav Wagner in San Paulo, Brazil in the LATE 1970's and he came face to face with Gustav Wagner at a police station bc Wagner was detained for a charge but was released for some reason and he was then found dead with a knife 🔪 in his back but the investigators and detectives decided to rule it out that it was suicide. I don't know how you stab yourself in the back and die a painful death 😏🙄🤔

I recently watched the (2018) Sobibor movie on Tubi and Frenzel was ALWAYS eyeing Perchesky AKA "Sasha" especially in the scene where he ordered Sasha to chop down a LARGE tree and he gave him (5) minutes to do it and Sasha did complete the challenged order and gave Sasha an apple but he refused it and i think along the lines "he was only trying to be friendly and polite" to Sasha 😐

You think I was born yesterday? To compare ww2 victims that DID NOT START the war, with a group that started Oct 7th or equivalent of 9-11 for us makes no sense. When we had 9-11 we went to war only with those responsible. We didn't just sit back and take it. So they had 10-7 -23 and DID NOT sit back and take it, like you wanted them too. What were they suppose to do after so many people lost their lives in one day do nothing and allow it to happen, again. Further, I don't understand why they stole children, holding them hostage? ... 0:54 Who does that? Yes Putin also stole children in Ukraine but he stopped. Imagine if someone stole your precious child, wouldn't you want the authorities to find her? So they had to find those CHILDREN who can't defend themselves. That's why such stong (not weak) action was taken. Because weaknesses doesn't work. The solution to the land problem like here in America was to share the land north and south. Had that been understood sooner the civil war could've been prevented.

[@Kaisan-vc8fw]

It is worth mentioning that the Germans invaded HALF of Poland, whilst the Russians who at that moment were allied to Germany, _invaded the other half._ However, it is also important to realise that yes, 6 million Jews were murdered. But also 5 million Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals and various other people the 3rd Reich didn't like. They were also extreminated in the camps or during the 'shooting holocaust' of the Einsatzgruppen. T4 was actually named Aktion T4 .... It was named after the address of the offices where it was palnned, Tiergartenstrasse 4. Berlin. People need to be extremely careful taking any of these KZbin videos as 'Gospel' ... they are mostly giving information that is partial and often gloss over important information.

Israeli soldiers operate under a strict code of never deliberately killing innocent civilians. That is why they kept delaying their attack on Gaza after the October 7th atrocities...to give civilians time to leave. But Hamas stopped many from leaving, in the cynical knowledge that Israel would then be blamed when civilians were caught in the crossfire. Israel is fighting for it's very survival from terrorist nations that seek to finish what Hitler started...please remember what you have seen in this documentary and remember also the vow of the Jewish nation...."Never again".
