Werner von Fritsch -German GENERAL and FANATICAL Anti-Semite Brutally KILLED by the Poles during WW2

Werner von Fritsch was born on the 4th of August 1880 in Benrath Castle near Düsseldorf then part of the German Empire. His upbringing was shaped by his strict father, Lieutenant General Georg von Fritsch, who put great value on love of country, reliability, duty and honor. He was such a "merciless disciplinarian" that his son would find it difficult to form close relationships throughout his life.

Loving this narrator. He reminds me of Fractured Fairly Tales.

These are sometimes hard to watch, but it's important to keep in mind "never again" especially considering current world events. Much obliged, WH.

That , unfortunately, doesn't apply to Armenians, even Israel supports the non indigenous, Azerbaijani Moslems!

One more detail. I read that when von Fritch was hit, a german medic tried to attend to him, but he refused treatment.

Really enjoy the insight into this sordid history. Love your videos ❤

[@knackerEv]

As far as questioning the description "brutal". If another person kills you, no matter the method, no matter severity of the wound, or the duration of the death, it is brutal. Parting from life under any circumstances is actually pretty brutal. Maybe the parting isn't what some would consider sordid, lurid or horrific, but it's still brutal notwithstanding.

[@shelbynamels7948]

so if a little old lady confuses the gas with the brakes and runs you down, that makes her what, a brutal killer of an innocent KZbin poster?? That's the headline you're going with??

[@markfalcoff1743]

Fritsch was not a homosexual. He was framed with the accusation in an attempt to get rid of him by rivals in the high command. He was eventually cleared of the charge but was relieved of his position as commander in chief of the German army.

[@diplodocus6969]

he sounds pretty gay

[@knackerEv]

Yeah that's what I read. And he deliberately exposed himself on the battlefield and refused treatment for his wounds, because he had been wrongfully disgraced. Which wasn't something you could socially recover from under that regime in Germany.

This documentary claims that Von Fritsch was brutally killed by Poles. This would suggest that he was taken prisoner by Polish soldiers and murdered. The documentary didn't say that. I don't think Fritsch was a fanatical anti-Semite. An anti-Semite but not a fanatical one. I don't think Fritsch called for the extermination of the Jews.

[@coling3957]

Fritsch deliberately exposed himself to enemy fire..

He was shot by either a machine gun or a sniper in the thigh. The bullet tore an artery (probably a femoral) and he died in a minute. What was brutal?

[@ladycplum]

@@thhseekingI know, right? Unconscious and dead in under a minute. A quick death. Reminds me of the scene in Band Of Brothers when one of the soldiers accidentally shot himself in the leg with a Luger, severed the main artery, and bled out in about the same amount of time.

[@knackerEv]

​@@bobdollaz3391it never will because of this excesses committed by the NSDAP fanatics. But I do agree with you. There was no shortage of warmongering amongst all the major players. Even as Germany was planning aggression, aggression was being planned against them. Practically from the moment Hitler took power in fact. Just like with WW1 the war in central Europe could have been contained to central Europe. But everyone was mechanized and wanted to flex their might. The only point of vacillation was preparedness and waiting for the right conditions to motivate the public opinion towards war.

[@censusgary]

It sounds like the Nazis didn’t give Fritsch a fair shake. But he was a genocidal anti-Semite who willingly worked for them, so my sympathy for him is very limited.

[@prinz89]

It's comical that liking, or messing around with other dudes was the "moral?" focal point for his dismissal. The planning and putting into action, the annihilating of innocent individuals, families, children, and objecting clergy men who they sent to their demise wasn't a "moral" or ethical breaking point for them. Weren't their also actually married SS members having numerous affairs? I wonder how they proved he was "innocent".😂

[@shelbynamels7948]

03:44 "had an extreme hatred of Poland". Without context, that is extremely misleading and prejudicial. Fritsch was born at a time when there was no Poland on anyone's map. The restoration of a Polish nation state after an absence of more than 100 years thru the 1919 treaty caused a lot of upheaval in the lands that had been German for generations. There were clashes, small engagements by militia forces from both sides, and the establishment of the German corridor laid the foundation for future conflict.'' Fritsch harbored no such animosity towards the USSR because as a successor regime to the TSar, it had legitimacy in his eyes, and no German lands were lost to Russia as a result of the new map of Europe.

[@AmerigoGadsden]

Fritsch loved pole. Live by the pole, die by the pole.
