The Gallows Of Landsberg Prison

Inside of an American occupied prison at the end of the Second World War were two execution structures where almost 300 Nazi war criminals were executed. Landsberg Prison is most remembered as the site where Adolf Hitler was imprisoned, but it was also where the Americans executed many people condemned in war crimes trials. Those who were executed here included Hitler and Himmler's own doctors, and those who had slaughtered prisoners of war. There were many former guards of concentration camps also executed on the gallows of Landsberg.

That was the most informative presentation that I have ever seen regarding Landsberg Prison! Thank you, again!

[@nxtgen2b416]

Great channel. Ive learned muxh because of your work. Thank you

[@Wizzard_Robin]

Thanks for the video. My hometown is not far away of this prison.

My grand grandfather was a N@zi officer in 1930s and 1940s he left to Bolivia in 1949 and the rest is History Our family been in Bolivia since

It's terrible how many got away with their monstreous behaviour.

[@Turnipstalk]

Such as Wernher von Braun whose V2 programme killed more slave labourers than his V2s killed Allied civilians.

[@tommroz5539]

Very Good!

[@r2gelfand]

The priest did not administer final blessings, more like final rites.

[@johndeans1469]

Yes called last rites

[@stephanbernhardt5722]

Zu wenige Nazis gingen diesen Weg

[@wtfsalommy3250]

The irony of that last fact.. it all stopped, where it started ,still think they went easy on the terminations. But that's what sets us apart from the monsters

[@zingwilder9989]

I agree! The US also allowed many of the convicted war criminals, with life sentences, to be released in 10 years, or less.

Great video sir 🎉

Thanks matey!

3:05 After all the horrible things I've about Maria Mandel, she had the nerve to ham it up for the camera. No shame.

[@jonjones1233]

I still don't understand why an execution that ended up strangling to death versus neck snapping is called botched and horrific by you. When you don't call out the Poles and Russians for intentionally strangling all those they hung. Why weren't the pole and Russian hung executions called "horrific"?

[@Turnipstalk]

The Poles and Russians had been invaded by the Nazis and suffered massacres and starvation. Understandable. The US had not. You cannot judge victims of the camps by the standards of a victorious army.

Lansburg prison was where Mien Kampe was written.

[@Karl-nv5ok]

It's Landsberg and Mein Kampf.Don't butcher these words.

[@ernestclements7398]

In the early part of the 1700s English Prisoners would get the " Black Mass" the afternoon before they were hung, there they would sit on the coffins, they would later occupy, and be given the opportunity to shrivened of their sins, this was after the use of the Tyburn Tree was discontinued in favor of the drop method.

[@m.cl.ballista4642]

Criminals that lost, were trialed by criminals that won. Simple as that.

[@jesusisunstoppable4438]

Agreed

[@philstevens9914]

Non of these people look like they were about to be executed. No expression of fear. So, were they actually executed?

[@wtfsalommy3250]

They're Sociopaths muh dood... They knew all to well what the end result would be if they lost.. They lost😂

[@philstevens9914]

@@wtfsalommy3250 They did not lose. They fled to Argentina. A few took the fall for them. I think we've been lied to about many things over the years, especially war!

[@DT-wp4hk]

They knew they did a dirty job. Hard labor. Something modern policians and riot 🐈‍⬛ of ER and just stop oil don't even know.

[@santiagoecheverri5743]

No los ejecutaron. La conspiración era: un actor parecido al retenido hacia de “prisionero a ejecutar”, se tomaban fotos y filmaciones, el verdadero prisionero era liberado y se le daba un pasaporte Norte Americano junto con US$ 10.000. Luego estos hombres entraron a trabajar con la CIA, el FBI, él área 51 y otros organismos.

[@browngreen933]

They were true believers without any sense of guilt or shame. You can see that on their faces.

[@ernestclements7398]

Once the war criminals were cut down they were placed in a wooden coffin, along with the noose that was used to hang them, and were taken to a crematorium, where they were cremated, their ashes were then thrown into a river in order that they would not have any memorial to them, not even a grave marker, that could become a Nazi shrine, when Eichmann was executed in Israel, there were no appeals to be considered so he was taken directly from the courtroom, to the gallows, then hence to the crematorium, his ashes were then taken aboard an Israeli gunboat, and scattered at sea with no record of the coordinates.

[@PanTulipanPL]

"Eichmann was executed in Israel, there were no appeals to be considered so he was taken directly from the courtroom, to the gallows" Where the hell did you get this info? Eichmann was sentenced on 15 December 1961. Then his lawyers filed an appeal. The appeal was heard by the Supreme Court in March 1961, but they announced the verdict only on 29 May 1962. Then there was 30 May when Eichmann filed a petition for clemency to be reviewed by Israeli president, who denied it on 31 May. Eichmann was hanged on 1 June, just after midnight.

[@josephperreault997]

Correct term in Catholicism is Last Rights. The term final blessing seems rather odd in any faith along with holding a final service. Considering their crimes they deserved justice. Not Mercy

[@robertfolkner9253]

When I was a child in the 1950s and 1960s, it was still referred to as Extreme Unction.

[@robertfolkner9253]

The fact that the priest was in attendance keynoted the fact that God’s mercy was not dependent upon man’s opinion.

[@jesusisunstoppable4438]

Catholicism is Satanic

[@IanMcKennaLondon]

Good content but so badly scripted, countless facts repeated.

[@dave623]

It’s a style unto itself, we like it.

[@richardmoss5934]

Agreed. I too wish that someone would check and remove these repeats before recording.

[@user-vk2qw8fs7l]

Read the bible thou shalt not kill.

[@Turnipstalk]

Literally not commit murder. These commandments were for a people who had been instructed by their priests that God wanted them to commit genocide. Three thousand years later that trend still exists in Judaism.

[@krispoli22]

​@@Turnipstalkyou are correct there is a big difference between kill and murder. So few people actually want to know the truth.

[@heywoodjablowme8120]

Little known fact while in Lansberg prison all prisoners had to tie their shoelaces in little Nazis 😂❤😂
