The JUSTIFIED Execution Of Julius Streicher - The EVIL Nazi Newspaper Editor

During the Second World War and as Hitler rose power within Germany, there were a group of high ranking Nazis who helped brainwash the population and also help Hitler instigate a reign of terror. Following World War 2, the Nuremberg Trials took place in which the remaining high ranking members of the Nazi Party were placed in front of a trial and judged for their crimes such as waging war and the Holocaust. One of these men was Julius Streicher, a horrifically anti-semitic man who helped to spread hatred across Hitler's Third Reich.
Julius Streicher was by Hitler side since the very start. He was present when Hitler tried to seize control of Munich during the Beer Hall Putsch, and he was a close friend to the Fuhrer of Germany. He later became the Gauleiter of Franconia. Streicher is most well known today for being the founder of Der Sturmer, a virulently anti-semitic newspaper that spread propaganda against those in Germany that were persecuted. Der Sturmer contained shocking images and accusations. Although Streicher was not a member of the army or the military, after the Second World War he was placed on trial for his crimes involving the Holocaust.
It was found that he was guilty of spreading hate and contributing towards the persecution, and for this he was sentenced to death. It was with the Nuremberg Executions that Streicher was killed by the executioner John C Woods, but his execution did not go to plan.

@George Staunton: Sgt Wood was, by reports, an NCO who probably liked his position a bit too much. I don’t recall him to have had much of a background in the “field” for his MOS as hangman, and was rather inept at his job. I also have come to understand, and I am a retired career US Military officer, is that Sgt Wood was, at best, only marginal as an NCO. But for a few, the bulk of those sent to the gallows as deserving a “clean soldiers death”. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Sgt Wood if you have the time.

One could order a professional hangman intentionally do a bad job to make a Nazi suffer but consequences would follow if discovered having done so. But there would be no such repercussions for putting the job in the hands of someone supposedly a professional, and hide behind the incompetence of the hangman.

[@paullewis2413]

Not sure about this one. We have to remember that we are looking at these cases from a great distance in time. The trials were held very soon after the end of the war and it's quite reasonable to expect that feelings of revulsion of Nazi war crimes were running so high that in most cases a death sentence seemed not at all unreasonable for anyone having close ties to the culprits. We can view the situation from a less hysterical perspective now so it's foolish to make judgments on what happened in those now far off times.

I did my dissertation about the Nuremberg Trial and whether Soviet participation was its biggest weakness. One of the big arguments I made was that Streicher should have received a more lenient sentence than Rudolf Hess, a man who had more power in Nazi Germany that Streicher ever did. Streicher was an absolutely horrid man but he seemed to be killed because he was seen as a personification of Nazism instead of anything he actually did. I wonder what others think of this.

[@erichaynes7502]

The Allies had to De-Nazify Europe so they had to get rid of extremists like Streicher, who would just continue to cause problems if he was allowed to live. Millions of Jews were murdered it doesn't bother me that such a severe anti-semite like Streicher was executed. Not one bit.

[@Johnnycdrums]

Agreed, his sin was his words, and he was out of circulation by 1940.

[@GregSticker]

Actually, Hess was not really given any real position of influence in the National Socialist government. He was not completely liked because he was seen as an inefficient administrator. Then he was seen as a traitor after his ill fated flight in 1941 to England to broker a peace with the British. He was a prisoner of the British until after the war. Thus, he could not have any role in the German government. He was sidelined basically. My question then was why was he given a life sentence. Having been marginalized by fellow Nazis and going out on his own to sue for peace . Perhaps 20 years in prison could have been more proportional to whatever crimes he may have committed. I am just uncertain in view of his mere symbolic position in the Nazi state and his departure from Germany and subsequent capture by the British in 1941, what real war crimes could he have committed.

[@itwaswalpole]

@@GregSticker The evidence I used was that he had wrote down and to some extent cowrote Mein Kampf and had been Deputy Fuhrer, showing that he had a close connection to Hitler. He made many speeches and was one of the signatories of the Nuremberg race laws. I don't think he had as much power as his title would insinuate but he definitely had more institutional power than Streicher. The fact that he flew to Britain before the Wannsee Conference and Operation Barbarossa certainly worked to his favour at Nuremberg but I think that if Streicher could get a death sentence for being a Gauleiter, raging anti-Semite and downright disgusting then I think there's little reason why Hess shouldn't have either.

[@jamespowell5259]

You have a point. Streicher's presence in the dock was met with open disgust by a number of defendents. Goering openly avoided him at every opportunity (hardly surprising, given Streicher's libels against Goering and enmity within the Party). Doenitz also lodged a formal request with the American Commandant, Andrus, not to be housed in the same wing as a "pornographer" and "Jew-baiter". Both saw Nuremberg as a way to uphold what they saw as the Reich's impressive war record; Streicher was not a good look on that front...

[@gma729]

Streicher, who never ordered anyone's death (he had no such power) came across like a crude, knuckle-dragger.

Purim Feist 1946

[@yitzchokd]

Although many perceived these comments as the mad rant of a lunatic who was convicted of crimes against humanity, it's worth examining what Streicher meant. He certainly appears to have been aware of the Purim story which tells of the attempted genocide against the Jews that Haman planned, and how, when his plans were defeated, Haman and his ten sons were hanged. It appears that rather amazingly, Streicher was making a historic link between the Nazi genocide and the attempted genocide by Haman, who, like the Nazis, also wanted to wipe out the entire Jewish people. Eleven men in fact had been sentenced to death at the first Nuremberg trial but Hermann Goering committed suicide before his death sentence was carried out. "The Hebrew word for a tree is eitz, which is also “wood” in English. The hangman at Nuremberg was named John C. Woods, an American army officer."
