Nazi resistors on trial. Imagine YOU standing there in front of THIS judge.

[baraxor]

The Bomb Plot trials were filmed for widespread public viewing...ironically, Goebbels convinced Hitler to restrict this as he criticized Freisler's ranting and baiting of the prisoners, fearing that this would make the "traitors" more sympathetic to the German people.

[ssean1290]

@Allanlegacy43 I would have said fuck hitler and fuck you too

[Allanlegacy43]

have made it clear that if Hitler left the tactics to those experts who actually know what military tactics are and not some corporal that Germany would have won the war by now. I would have stated infactially that Hitler is solely responsible for the lost of the war and he is going to self destruct very soon and take all of you cowards who never had the guts to oppose him and all of Germany down with him, and then finish with the words that at least I tried to stop him from destroying Germany!

[Allanlegacy43]

These guys knew they were dead men, they knew they would be hung. If that was me I would have been as loud and as bosterious and expolisive as I could. I would have went into a tirade and I would have solely made the point of Hitlers military and tatical blunders and stupidities that cost Germany the war. I would have brought up Dunkirk, I would have brought up not invading England, I would have parotted the stupidity about engaing in a two front war and the disatorious effects. I would cont.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

Brave.

[TheDosaaaa]

Just like Judge Judy lol, she calls hers a peoples court too..

[1stLtDavis]

They deserved it, fucking bastards wanted Germany to be split up be communists...which it was.

And now the Germans are having to bear the brunt of the financial disaster created by big, globalist banks.

[xpat73]

Killed by a bombing raid...couldn't happen to a nice guy! I hope you rot in hell you scumbag "judge"

[williamblair11]

@xpat73 I hated that this fkr got killed in the bombing raid and escaped justice..I hope he had a painful death!!!

[wadehwallace]

That judge is a traitor to his nation...the man standing before the judge is the very exemplar of courage, conscience, and patriotism. A true citizen.

[BuddyWillis]

MOOOOIIIDDDDAAAHHHHHLLLLSSSS!

[Nomoreidsleft]

Was there any footage of Hitler alive after the Valkyrie Operation? It's very possible that Hitler could have been killed during this operation, and they covered up his death.

[VicRattlehead6655]

@Nomoreidsleft

Yes, during the battle for Berlin, he was filmed honoring a few little Boys, who blew up Soviet Tanks.

[Nomoreidsleft]

@VicRattlehead6655 Yes, I saw that footage. It was mostly pictures of the boys recounting their deeds. There really wasn't much if any footage of Hitler actually in the same frame as those boys. So, I wouldn't it call it definitive.

[alternatehistories]

Imagine ME standing there? Sure...I'd be proud to have stood there...because ultimately history would've have proven me right.

[EmilyyKaathryn]

One Bang Him.

[samsudinabubakar]

I would pee by instant if I were to be him in 'at time'....pity those people who lived during that period ! How could and what make they behave as such??? They were educated, well knowledgeable but again they cant think as what we think today. Viewing the vid make me ' fly on the time zone' as i was there in front of the judges......

[waterman1976]

ah yes, good ole ronald freisler. that old bolshevik.

[Rico8458]

soon at all TSA airports we will stand like that before we board a flight. lol.

[Audinos]

The law eventually came down on Roland Freisler. Literally. During an air raid, he went back into the courthouse to get documents when a bomb hit the building. A large column fell over and smashed him.

[TheBaltimoreKnight]

The judge's voice is just straight evil, let alone his totally lopsided judgement.

[BLUEHIPPO47]

This Judge would shit his pants if he had to go one to one with those he verbally attacked..It is easy to act hard when you have the power of a brutal authoritarian state behind you..He was just another inadequate Nazi ..its funny how these poor specimens of humanity thought themselves to be superior..maybe some overcompensation going on here.Ein Knackered Adolf was a bit of a dick really,you'd have to be really dim to fall for that Nazi crap..

[Vindix007]

Mr. Freisler must to be in hell right now.

Hahahahaha.

Die fucking german bastards.

[Lm3ntz]

@Vindix007 Well the Germans who tried to stop hitler died because of this court. Happy now?

[Vindix007]

@Lm3ntz I am talking about the nazi-germans friends of Hitler, fucking moron!

[kklmjk]

I Bet Judge JUDY is more intimidating than this judge!

[FieldMarshalRommel23]

@kklmjk Does judge judy hang everyone who comes in front of her? He doesn't even know what half the people done, he just hands out execution sentances because he enjoys it!

[BreakTheSkyMyseIf]

@kklmjk Haha, I'd like to see judge Judy tell this judge off. XD

[TheTruthMustPrevail]

at the bogus Nuremberg trials the communist jews attempted to charge the Germans as guilty of the 1940 Katyn forest massacre in Poland. Both the British and Americans knew that the communists had murdered those 25,000 people in cold blood but remained silent which etched in stone the identity of the true criminal nations. The "holocaust" propaganda fraud was implemented to camouflage the numerous extermination operations carried out by the British empire, Soviet empire and USA empire.

[dubblpumper]

On that day 8 "conspirators" of the Valkyrie plot were sentenced to death. Basically Freisler had already in his own mind had sentenced them to death even before they had arrive for trial. These were called "show" trials. Latter that day all 8 were transported to Plotsensee prison and hanged with thin cord or piano wire from meat hooks. They were lifted off the ground and then dropped, kicking, struggling and convulsing for UPTO 15 mins before they died!!! It was quite grisly!!!

[brandenburg2388]

@dubblpumper from the few hanging videos that I've seen, death happens almost instantaneously.

[DaRkNess1400]

this happened after the operation valkyrie right?

[ruhri0411]

In 1941 101 people werde condemned to death by the people's court. From 1942, when Freisler became the president of this "court", this number increased to 2,300 in 1944.

btw. his nickname at this time was "the raving roland",please watch here on youtube "Sophie Scholl -the final days" (english subs), Freisler appears from part 12

[cubbyhomes]

No point on even going to that court.. you step foot in there you're automatically guilty. I'd just say hang/shoot me, so they don't waste my time.

[josefkesselring]

@cubbyhomes Actually, about 1 in 10 were acquitted (source: Ingo Müller: Furchtbare Juristen).

[RavingDissension]

Once you're brought before Freisler, your execution is probably a forgone conclusion. Ergo, it's best to in with your head held high. Much respect to this individual.

[bjr43]

I wouldn't wanna be on trial with that guy as the judge.

[blackjacklover70]

This was scam and all who convicted the people in this trial were on trial themselves by the allies one year later for this false trial.

[Ikari2030]

Fuck you Freiser...

[JohnRusso007]

Ulrich Willhelm Graf Schwerin von Schwanenfeld. You in my view where the bravest man in history. Ulrich still spoke the truth even with knowledge of the horrible fate that awaited him from these Nazi fanatics. RIP

[29jug11]

This is what the FREE world was saved from by all those millions of military and civilians who died in the Allied cause on our behalf..............we have a lot to be thankful for....RIP:

[janelasdedeus]

Integrity at its most sublime and maybe even divine.

[bjr43]

Ugh, Freisler, don't think I could stand to be around the guy if I'd lived back then. The pants thing, read they did that to Witzleben.

[sandhgreen]

If I was standing in front of THAT judge, knowing that I WAS going to hang no matter what, I would have said... "Mr. President - FUCK YOU and the HORSE you rode in with!"

[stwads]

@sandhgreen Quite a few of them did apparently!

[alanheath]

The German hero (victim) on trial is Ulrich Wilhelm Graf Schwerin von Schwanenfeld on 21 August 1944. He was judicially murdered the same day. The former communist and by this time fanatical Nazi, Freisler only lasted another 4.5 months and was killed in an air raid.

[CanyonLakeRebel]

Looks like any modern American family court!

[cstcomputers]

@CanyonLakeRebel Best comment I've read in months... I've been there done that in Seattle, it was just like that. I was forced to pay child support to my X's step children... What a laugh, I moved fem...

[cstcomputers]

@CanyonLakeRebel Best comment I've read in months... I've been there done that in Seattle, it was just like that. I was forced to pay child support to my X's step children... What a laugh, I moved f***em...

[sayanroy36]

@CanyonLakeRebel

its funny, how we,americans , the most ignorant of them all, try to demean the gravity of such horrific events

sophie scholl will agree

[cod5ftwz]

@sayanroy36 just go ahead and make a statement on America. Every country makes mistakes including America. It is ignorant people like yourself who butcher our image with remarks such as this. America is generally a fairly educated country with every right to demean the gravity of such horrific events. In the end the U.S played a large roll in the demise of Nazism and we can "demean" the horror of Nazism from a first hand perspective.

[craigio180]

meeeuuurdderrrr! lol. that Freisler was a leg end! and an actual celeb of his day.

[turgeo2004]

reminds me of the us supreme court.

[BarbarasUrates]

Man. When I think of people like this I wonder what comples their actions... Sadism? Do they enjoy watching others suffer, I mean who could actually enjoy watching others suffer? I carry out this thought futher: The Germans have a word for it, Schadenfreude - literally meaning pleasure derived from the misfortune of others. This filthly scoundrel died when a bomb landed on the court house and a steel beam landed on his head. GOD SPEAD!

[BarbarasUrates]

That's not all... then Friesler, the so called President of the People's Court says "No, you can't be cracking up, because you're nothing."

[redslownight]

is there a full video of all the trials?

[HotSIzZle12]

Thanks! I just read that he died during an allied bombing raid... justice served.

[junkdeal]

@HotSIzZle12 He sure did! I read a first-person account of someone who was being tried in his court. An air-raid alert went off, the defendents and others were hustled to the basement, Freisler went back to the courtroom to get files, and the bombs dropped in to say, "hey!" This defendent, I can't remember who he was or what he did, survived the war because of this!

[jaxxx1975]

@HotSIzZle12 Such a silly commend, I have ever read under a Video, about the German Resistance against Hitler! So many civilist died by your bombing raids. And you make raids against civil cities like Dresden. And only beause you hit one criminal and killing 5000 civilist, is your mission completed? Yes for some anglo-american are the justice served! The same with Japan, Japan was almost defeated, but some US-Heros wanted to test their new weapon. A country full of heros ---> USA

[GCarty80]

@HotSIzZle12

Yes, justice by B-17...

[mahirzz]

@HotSIzZle12 Yep, that too at a trial for Fabian von Schlabrendorff, a conspirator in the July 20th plot. FVS was to be sentenced that day, and he survived the bombing raid. It was reported Roland Freisler's body was found under debris, with the file of Fabian von Schlabrendorff still clinched in his hands.

[bearcub410]

THE NAZI'S WERE BULLIES

[tgr128]

That's the understatement of the millenia

[HotSIzZle12]

Do you have any info about the name of the judge?

[raproducer]

I believe his name was Roland Freisler.

This was called "The People's Court"

[666xxchrisxx]

@raproducer lol it needs that court music

[emmteez1]

@HotSIzZle12 Yeah he was raving fanatical nazi hell bent on pleasing Hitler at all costs. Ironic that a piece of his own roof fell on his head killing him during a US bombing raid..lmao
