OK, one can find out by reading the comments. All I mean is, it should have been indicated in the summary: "Gen. Anton Dostler, shot by firing squad In the first allied war trial after the war (on Dec. 1, 1945) for having ordered the execution of a group of American saboteurs caught behind the German lines in Italy in March 1944"
@Lenore21 hitler had blacks, asians, arabs, muslims, indiens, and even some jews in his werhamcht and waffen SS, a total force of over 1million soldiers in his army wernt white, and 60 percent of his force wasnt german. hitler was no more evil then anyone else in the world today and back then, and everyone world has done genocide, even america
I don't see why some of you feel bad for him. Every single one of them deserved to die. I'm only sorry 'cause they didn't suffer more. When you start a war, you have to think the consequences if you lose it. Especially when you kill and torture so many people.
@Lenore21 bit unfair thinking that a lot of the german solders were under order of death to do what there did so there were basically surviving them selfs got to remember a lot of the german army were only young men of around 19 or 20 years old you can not judge all germans because of one man and yes ok the generals may have done sum bad things and killed a lot of people but there were under orders just like any other general in 2ww.
@jdraver They were even younger. I still remember a 15 year old soldier's grave from my visit to Maleme cemetery. I'm not angry at Germans and I don't hate them. Don't take me wrong. But the truth is that they voted for him. They sent their children to fight an awful war. I'm not glad for what happened, but people are cruel during war. Imagine a handful of common people starving to death having a chance to take revenge from the ones that got them to that point. Do you think they won't do it?
thats nothing compared to the nazi-german crimes...COMPENSATIONS must be given from Germany to all those countries which suffer from these bastards...Especially Greece and Poland...
There is othing fair or humane about war to begin with. This is what you do when you win. Hypocricy isn't something new. Until we come up with something better than war, stop complaining and worrying about what is fair and humane and just deal with who we are.
This is the execution of General Anton Dostler who ordered the execution of 15 American soldiers who were captured in uniform in Italy in 1945, overiding protests by subordinates that this violated the Geneva convention. @KurtfonKoh you should check in Wikipedia etc. instead of wondering aloud whether Dostler committed crimes.
@MrCuddlyable3 I didn't "wondering aloud whether Dostler committed crimes", I even didn't knew his name. Yet, this IS an execution - so, do not wonder why so many dislikes - that's my point. American and British generals ordered to execute german soldiers and officers without charge or trial as well. No one execute them for those orders. And even if did, there are would be as many dislikes on such vid as they are now.
@sifounas83 Because it's an execution. Seeing no crime he did (did he anyway? except for commanding his troops in battle?), it's hard to judge him. For today's viewers it's rather crime to shoot that general. No one's gonna judge a winner... sometimes we should tho.
@PrinceSamanti Fool. He was responsible for executing 15 US army men. On March 26th, 1944. He also carried it out under an illigal order. And lied in court. Before he was found guilty. Just because you see him executed doesn't mean the Alies were brutal and cowards you hypocrite. Know you facts first.
@PrinceSamanti Yeah because in war. Innocent people shouldn't die. The Germans were a great example! Of course I'm an ignorant man. Anyone who does not agree with you is ignorant. Your grandfather was probably a good man. I'm not a jerk. And as for the US soldiers. Please tell me who's more cowardly? The Taliban. Who shoot behind women. Put bombs on children, women, and the mentally disabled? Taliban who gas children's schools? If you have any respect for soldiers STFU. I respect yours
@blackhawk438 Have you ever thought that in a war anyone fights based on the weapons he has? Taking into consideration all the high tech weaponry usa has what should taliban do, to defend their country? Fight in an open field? Learn some stuff before you just express your opinion. And please please please don't tell me the us army went to Afghanistan to establish democracy. I can't stand that.
@sssooottt They should fight with honor. Not hiding behind the weak and disabled. Or hurting the helpless to spread their message. Get a proper sense of moral before "you just express your opinion". And why would I ever go about telling people they are trying to establish a democracy? I never hinted that. Like how you try to get me to challenge you on it. The Taliban can fight in the hills or however they want without coward like tactics.
Ja I'm sure that's what the Nazis would have done to any Allies they caught executing their guys. They definitely would have got a trial and a priest too.
Look out for other video footages of General Dostler´s execution here on YT where in the beginning the 15 Americans were also described such as "posing as Italians". How can yoiu possibly pose as an Italian in case you are dully uniformed with American uniforms ?!?
It remains as it is: This was the first trial against a German officer after WWII and it was highly politcally motivated to say the least and should set the tone for further trials. But this case is FAR from being clear or evident
@somedayillbefree Your cynicism and cowardice is not of Jesus, nor of God. It is the false teachings of the devil himself who preaches 'do nothing' as he wages war on everything around you.
@somedayillbefree and what does jesus say he will do to the wicked of the world when he returns? Do not fool yourself with the words of pacifism taught by the very same enemy who wishes for your cultural destruction. They have even detached you from the very word 'cultural'. Proven in your own words. They have won you over already. Make no mistake, God and his righteous army are coming. I supposed you shall be planting beans and potatoes while the men of God defend you. Coward.
BTW, I still await your sources that the 15 men were executed under "the command order" and of course, that they were dully uniformed whilst getting captured.
@kernerschreiber13 Look up "Alexander zu Dohna-Schlobitten" on Google, and look at the references; youtube won't let us post links.
Several under Dostler's command testified as to clothing in which the Americans were captured, that he issued orders that the Americans be executed, that they tried without success to have his order rescinded. Note that the men were not tried, and Dostler's orders required him to turn them over to the Security Service -- which he did not do.
@unclesmrgol I already did send you two of my sources......American ones, too for that matter.
The 15 commandos were NOT dully or properly unifomed according to the regulations of the Geneva Convention. You have to wear "fixed distinctive marks", "recognisable at a distance" which probaly was not the case with the 15 men on that sabotage mission as according to one source they "wore no insignia" whilst getting captured which alone most probably constitutes an violation of the Geneva Convention.
@2210ethan Errr, ok, first off, you, you know that Dostler was "defended" by American military lawyers.......there you can see how lousy his "defence" was to put it mildly.
Secondly, it is NOT RELEVANT "who did it" or "who did not do it" regarding this "Dostler trial".....WHOEVER - Dostler or Almers or WHOEVER - gave the order of the execution of those 15 commandos of that sabotage mission it was probably well covered by the regulations of the Geneva Convention....hence- victor´s justice....
A criminal in the US would also have been defended by US lawyers.
And it is relevant who did it- Dostler did it. He denied it. He was convicted and sentenced. He got due process and a priest. What to you think the 'victor's justice' looked like in the land that Nazi Germany occupied?
A lot of you people disgust me. I would have killed this man with my bare hands, and I do not feel comfortable with that idea. These are the same people that lined up thousands, upon THOUSANDS, of completely innocent civilians, and shot them in cold blood, among other extremely terrible things. Has the U.S. ever done that? Even made them dig their own graves? Get over yourselves
@weefek many of the atrocities were comitted by the S.S. the german army and its generals are generally not blamed for such acts as they were just soldiers, and this man cannot be blamed for the sins of an entire country, its like saying all muslims are terrorists
General Dostler did adhere to the regulations of war (which I think he indeed did) it would be still ok to execute him because he was German and only because he was German because.. the Germans were all evil, murderous etc...?!?
Well we should do the same for the terrorist that isnt covered in the geneva convention , they are not in a way shape or form in a army. instead we send them to cuba and release them in a couple of years to go back overseas and shoot americans again. media and liberal thinking has allowed this to go on to long.
@jeffblacky Please name a Gitmo detainee that was released who have been convicted of killing Americans. These are the "worst of the worst", remember? How many convictions have been obtained on the 775 original detainees? 5 convictions? How many have died awaiting disposition? How many have been murdered or committed suicide? How many have had their convictions overturned due to lack of evidence? It's a farce on the grandest scale. And a blotch on American honor.
German generals in WW2 were often sent directives from Hitler that were illegal and cruel. Such generals would be in quite a dilemma if such orders were blatantly disobeyed. On the other hand, would it have been ethical for the american CO to 1) ask for volunteers for a suicide mission 2) put them in uniforms and 3) allow the commandos to kill anything in sight that interferes with their mission? I'll never know.
They really should have zeroed those rifles, or get someone that know what they are doing to shoot him. Did anyone else see that MAYBE one out of those 12 rounds hit its mark? And one hit him in the right arm! Not close to the heart at all.
@Hobbes0331 In an execution by firing squad not all of the weapons have live rounds. Supposedly that is supposed to relieve the guilt by not knowing that you were the one that fired the fatal round.
@imtired20- The ones that had bullets couldn't shoot for shit, thats all I am sayin. One shot didn't even hit the chest! It grazed the arm! HAHA, bad shot man, bad shot.
@Hobbes0331 Generally in execution squads run like this only every third man actually has a bullet the rest are blanks, they do this so that the firing squad are saved moral conscience later on and cant then be arrested for murder as you're not sure who actually killed the man....
Not saying what the Nazi stood for was good but this man was shot for something that our men would do in the same situation. I think this execution shames post WW2 justice and if the Nazi's did this we would call it a war crime.
@Hobbes0331 Incorrect! There was an honor code, and respect for the Geneva Convention by the Allies. The U.S. or Britain never conducted any atrocities of the kind the German's did.
@1toscany actually there were incidents of U.S. soldiers conducting executions, there is a vid about it somewhere on youtube. its just not talked about much because we won
@Hobbes0331 This man ordered the execution of 15 captured uniformed American soldiers. He refused repeated attempts by his subordinates to halt the execution. One of his subordinates was dismissed from duty for refusing to sign the order of execution saying that it violated the Geneva Convention.
I don´t get your logic there at all; you did write that General Dostler did not even see the 15 saboteurs....According to your statemenet how can he be SURE that the "executions were illegal" ?!?
BTW, Dostler was not even a member of the NSDAP.....your comments sound more and more ironic.
mildly or you may even call it a kangaroo trial where the verdict was fixed from the very beginning.
We all know that the Nazis committed a lot of of unbelievable atrocities but the allies have no clean slate either and don´t stand on the moral high ground. And in this namely "Dostler Case" the only war crime attributbale to General Dostler was his very own execution committed by the Americans >>>> the epitome of Victor´s justice.....
Those who study history & speak with those who were alive at the time, can tell of a times very different than what we know of, especially here and there in our relatively comfortable homes at a computer. In the 1930, 40s, & 50s, you followed orders or paid the ultimate price, in many cases. Most people didn't question orders, it just wasn't something you did. All that said, justice is administered by the society of the day, & the place. We can judge all we like, but that's the way it was.
@ilieff1 "Just following orders" are for cowards. Its not good enough, you must stand up for what youve done. I think its fair to execute any collaborators to war crimes.
You dont get the order from ur squad leader to shoot a prisoner of war, and just do it cause its an order. Thats a war crime, for dirty pigs like the half german army of ww2
@Entirehappy Have a look at my posted comments one day ago.
There you will see that General Anton Dostler was executed because of victor´s justice....as simple as that.
He did adhere to the regulations of war and was especially in compliance with the Geneva Convention.I will send you two sources via the message function here on YT.
@Entirehappy in October 1942 British forces has captured and executed some German soldiers in channel island, in reaction to that Hitler issued an order to act same way against captured commando operations members. in March 1944 this German general ( Anton Dostler ) give order to execute captured us or OSS operation team who was on their way to demolish a railway with explosives in italy.
@jscholtz The 15 American commandos on a sabotage mission were actually OUT OF UNIFORM (I´´ll send you two Url´s of ,y sources via YT message): In case you are out of uniform you are no longer considered a "POW", anymore but a spy and be summarily executed at the spot.
General did adhere to the regualtions of war by giving the order of the execution.
Dostler´s trial is the epitome of victor´s justice.
@kernerschreiber13 I haven't researched the topic in detail, but I basically just answered the question according to the generally accepted version. I will look into it further.
@jscholtz Well, you did chose to tell the "official" politically propaganda-ridden American version of the nototrious "Dostler Case" to put it mildly or to say the least.
Let´s be real here: Allies did cover up many war crimes committed by their own and in the Dostler´s Case they acted like ultimate hypocrites: Americans did execute German Special forces at the spot, and the Wehrmacht did the same to sabotage commandos on the other hand.
Allied post-war propaganda tried to cover up many things.
@kernerschreiber13 I chose to answer the question. It was asked why the man was executed. I gave the official reason given by the executioners. I did not say anyone had to believe it.
@IProjectDynamo Well, absolutely not.....General Dostler gave the order of the execution of 15 American commandos who were out of uniform; so, he did adhere to the regulations of war and especially, he was in compliance with the Geneva Convention.
His very own execution was the only war crime attributable to him.
@kernerschreiber13 If he was in compliance with the Geneva convention then why did the officers of the unit that was ordered to execute the commondos try to persuade him not to carry out the execution...and why did Dohna refuse to sign the execution papers? Oh yes, that's right, because what they were doing was violating the Geneva convention.
@IProjectDynamo Not really; Germany was losing massively on all fronts in June of 1944.
And some officers might not want to be associated with the execution of 15 American "boys".They already did fear the post-war treatment by the allies and rightfully os, like the trial of General Dostler demonstrated.
This trial gave credit to made "hearsay" testimonies and also was threatening witnesses
@kernerschreiber13 How can you fucking moan about allied war crime u utter fucking freak. U AND UR NAZI ANCESTORS KILLED OVER 6 MILLION PEOPLE U FUCKING GAYNAZI CUNT, DIE IN UR SLEEP.
@SpartanPict You should consider jumping off a flat whilst cutting your wrist. You fucking cunt. I bet youre some weird nerd that nobody cares about and now starts denying the holocaust, I will fucking find you and kill you nazi piece of shit.
@iBiiRd i dont know why this man is executed but whoever committed a war crime should be solemnly condemned, be they the Axis or the Allies. So why cannot kernerschreiber13 moan about it "if it's true"? There isnt a comparative measurement when it comes to war crime. PERIOD.
Actually the 15 were in uniform. Dostler never even saw them he just issued an order to have them killed. Another German officer was dismissed for disobeying it. 'Victor's justice'? No, just plain justice, he got a trial and a priest and a firing squad, which is a lot more than most of the Nazi victims got.
@2210ethan I will give two sources via YT message that will say the 15 commandos were out of uniform.....at least, even according to the trial´s own official notes they "wore no insignia", "had their field jackets insid out". According to the Geneva Convention with that kind of clothing you are a spy / sabotuer who is disguised by NOT being in uniform.
Spies can be summarily be executed at the spot without any trial at all....!!
This "trial" was highly politically motivated trial to put it
@STHFGDBY Once again: Those 15 American commandos were out of uniform. In that case, you are no longer protected by the Geneva Convention as you are considered a spy.Spies can summarily be executed at the spot. Allies did it, Axis did it.
So, General Dostler got executed for something that also was standard procedure used by the allies. Ergo, no "fair game" as you did put it but the epitome of victor´s justice by the Americans.
@STHFGDBY I guess you don´t get the legal meaning when it comes to the Geneva Convention and who is protected by it and who is not.General Dostler did adhere to the regulations of war by giving the order of the execution of the 15 commandos (spies).
Please, refrain from being a self-righteous allied hypocrite: According to your sound logic, it could well imply that NUMEROUS American Generals also deserved to get executed. It is quite interesting that only the losers commit "war crimes".....
@kernerschreiber13 Oh but I do, but who are the Germans to quote from the Geneva Convention. The are the very ones who didn't give a flying fuck about the geneva Convention so like I say he deserved what he got. You can boo hoo for him all you want but dambed if I will..
@STHFGDBY Hmm, quite interesting.....I always thought the allies were on the moral high ground and were fighting for freedom and stuff *cough*....*cough*.....
At least, you were quite honest with your reply. so, you said that in case that some or even numerous soldiers of the ennemy did commit war crimes you are allowed to take revenge on EVERY OTHER soldier of that ennemy no matter of the very own personal responsibility and situation of that specific soldier.
Once again, they were in Allied uniform. More than that, Dostler didn't dispute the illegality of the shootings, he just disputed his own responsibility for it, IE he knew it was illegal.
@2210ethan He disputed both during or at least try to plead his case during that trial.
And once again, the sources I have clearly say that the clothing of the 15 commandos did not fulfill the requirements of the Geneva Convention....ergo, they were not protected by it.
BTW,where are your sources for claims and assumptions that they were in FULL uniform ?!?
The second source you sent me clearly states that the men were in uniform. But that's actually not that relevant as the fact remains that they were executed under the command order. AND, as I said before, Dostler's argument was that he didn't give the order to have them killed, NOT That they were in disguise. And as I said, his subordinate showed that some Germans still had the courage to do the right thing, unfortunately they were too few to save Germany or her reputation.
@2210ethan The second source does NOT "clearly states" that the 15 commandos were dully uniformed. Actually, it has a citation of the official trial´s notes that the 15 Americans from that specific sabotage mission "wore no insignia", "had their field jackets turned inisde out". And there OFFICIAL TRIAL notes. With that kind of official infomation one could very well say that according to the Geneva Convention they were not dully or properly uniformed.Besides, your argument that Dostler and
@kernerschreiber13 his "defense" in front of that trial did not dig deeper or did not dig at all into the regulations of the Geneva Convention when it comes to the requirements of a proper or dully uniform only does demonstrate how lousy (if at all) General Dostler was "defended"..!! AGAIN, you have to "fixed distinctive mark recognisable at a distance" to be classified as dully unifromed which most probably wss not the case with those 15 commandos.
@PilotInCommand100 Exactly my point....the 15 American commandos according to numerous testimonies or sources were OUT OF UNIFORM and therefore were classified as such and summarily executed by the Gerrmans.

@kernerschreiber13 Look up "Alexander zu Dohna-Schlobitten" on Google, and look at the references; youtube won't let us post links.
Several under Dostler's command testified as to clothing in which the Americans were captured, that he issued orders that the Americans be executed, that they tried without success to have his order rescinded. Note that the men were not tried, and Dostler's orders required him to turn them over to the Security Service -- which he did not do.

@unclesmrgol I already did send you two of my sources......American ones, too for that matter.
The 15 commandos were NOT dully or properly unifomed according to the regulations of the Geneva Convention. You have to wear "fixed distinctive marks", "recognisable at a distance" which probaly was not the case with the 15 men on that sabotage mission as according to one source they "wore no insignia" whilst getting captured which alone most probably constitutes an violation of the Geneva Convention.

How much more simply can I say it:
Dostler's defence was N_O_T: "They were out of uniform"
It W_A_S: "I didn't do it. Someone else did"
Hence- he got executed.

@2210ethan Errr, ok, first off, you, you know that Dostler was "defended" by American military lawyers.......there you can see how lousy his "defence" was to put it mildly.
Secondly, it is NOT RELEVANT "who did it" or "who did not do it" regarding this "Dostler trial".....WHOEVER - Dostler or Almers or WHOEVER - gave the order of the execution of those 15 commandos of that sabotage mission it was probably well covered by the regulations of the Geneva Convention....hence- victor´s justice....

How many have had their convictions overturned due to lack of evidence? It's a farce on the grandest scale. And a blotch on American honor.

German generals in WW2 were often sent directives from Hitler that were illegal and cruel. Such generals would be in quite a dilemma if such orders were blatantly disobeyed. On the other hand, would it have been ethical for the american CO to 1) ask for volunteers for a suicide mission 2) put them in uniforms and 3) allow the commandos to kill anything in sight that interferes with their mission? I'll never know.

Those who study history & speak with those who were alive at the time, can tell of a times very different than what we know of, especially here and there in our relatively comfortable homes at a computer. In the 1930, 40s, & 50s, you followed orders or paid the ultimate price, in many cases. Most people didn't question orders, it just wasn't something you did. All that said, justice is administered by the society of the day, & the place. We can judge all we like, but that's the way it was.

Let´s be real here: Allies did cover up many war crimes committed by their own and in the Dostler´s Case they acted like ultimate hypocrites: Americans did execute German Special forces at the spot, and the Wehrmacht did the same to sabotage commandos on the other hand.
Allied post-war propaganda tried to cover up many things.

And some officers might not want to be associated with the execution of 15 American "boys".They already did fear the post-war treatment by the allies and rightfully os, like the trial of General Dostler demonstrated.

The second source you sent me clearly states that the men were in uniform. But that's actually not that relevant as the fact remains that they were executed under the command order. AND, as I said before, Dostler's argument was that he didn't give the order to have them killed, NOT That they were in disguise. And as I said, his subordinate showed that some Germans still had the courage to do the right thing, unfortunately they were too few to save Germany or her reputation.

@2210ethan The second source does NOT "clearly states" that the 15 commandos were dully uniformed. Actually, it has a citation of the official trial´s notes that the 15 Americans from that specific sabotage mission "wore no insignia", "had their field jackets turned inisde out". And there OFFICIAL TRIAL notes. With that kind of official infomation one could very well say that according to the Geneva Convention they were not dully or properly uniformed.Besides, your argument that Dostler and
