Waldeck-Frankenberg | 1945 und ich | Archivmaterial

Die Filmaufnahmen zeigen ein riesiges Lager mit deutschen Kriegsgefangenen in der Nähe von Frankenberg, einen Gottesdienst für US-Soldaten bei 04:57 und die Siegesfeier der Alliierten im Hotel Fürstenhof in Bad Wildungen bei 06:56.
In vielen Orten des Kreises widersetzten sich Bürger*innen den NS-Durchhalteparolen und signalisierten mit weißen Tüchern die kampflose Aufgabe - trotz Androhung der Todesstrafe. In Frankenberg zog der Leiter der Edertalschule, Friedrich Meis, den amerikanischen Panzern entgegen. Am 29. März 1945 war der Krieg in Frankenberg zu Ende. Als Befreier wollten viele Frankenberger die Amerikaner noch nicht sehen. Zwei Wochen zuvor waren bei zwei schweren Bombenangriffen noch fast 100 Menschen in der Stadt ums Leben gekommen. Im Vergleich zu anderen Städten hat Frankenberg den Krieg aber relativ unbeschadet überstanden. Von knapp 4000 Wohnungen, waren nur rund 4 Prozent zerstört bei Kriegsende.
Anlässlich des 75.Jahrestages des Kriegsendes haben wir Archivmaterial für alle Regionen Hessens recherchiert - in unserem hr-Archiv und in den National Archives in Washington. Dort haben wir auch viele bisher unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen gefunden, die die US-Armee während Ihres Einmarsches und kurz danach in Hessen gemacht hat. Dieses Filmmaterial haben wir anhand der Angaben des Archivs nach hessischen Regionen und Kreisen sortiert. Da es oft keine Infos gab, wo genau die Aufnahmen entstanden sind: Habt ihr mehr Informationen, was in diesem Clip oder wer genau zu sehen ist? Dann meldet euch bei [e-mail].

Der junge Soldat im Vordergrund war mein Vater. Er hat "seine" Kompanie aus Ostpreußen nach Nordhessen geführt. Er hat davon berichtet wollte aber keine Einzelheiten schildern. Ich bin Historiker geworden auch mit dem Motiv die Hintergründe zu erforschen und der Nachwelt zu vermitteln. Das ist mir zum Teil gelungen, denn die Traumata sassen tief.

@@grayharker6271 The myth of the clean Wehrmacht is a fantasy. The regular German armed forces (the Wehrmacht) were involved in the Holocaust or other war crimes during WWII. Wehrmacht waged on the Eastern Front, we now know, was more a criminal campaign than a conventional one. Soldiers murdered millions of civilians-including Jews-despoiled the region of economic resources, burned tens of thousands of villages to the ground, and starved millions of POWs. Starting as early as Sept 9,1939 - 300 Polish prisoners of war were murdered by the soldiers of the German 15th motorised infantry regiment in the Ciepielów massacre.

Don't kid yourself. Both wars had widespread and enthusiastic support from large segments of the German population. The only difference between the end of the WW I an the end of WWII is that at the end of WW I a lot of Germans felt they "really" hadn't lost. At the end of WW II, they were, for the most part, thoroughly disabused of that notion.

Very significantly large numbers of German soldiers who surrendered to the Allies ended up under Soviet control due to post war reparations manpower negotiations. Captive soldiers were tasked with rebuilding and clean-up. They were divvied up according to the negotiated need of the victor nations. The Soviets were deemed to have the greatest need.
