Execution of Alfred Jodl German General who signed the German Instrument of Surrender

Execution of Alfred Jodl German General who signed the German Instrument of Surrender in ww2
Alfred Jodl was a Nazi German General Colonel (Generaloberst) during ww1 and ww2 who served as the chief of the Operations Staff of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, the German Armed Forces High Command, throughout World War II. He was slightly injured during the 20 July plot of 1944 assassination attempt of Hitler. Jodl signed the Commissar Order of 6 June 1941 (in which Soviet political commissars were to be shot) and the Commando Order of 28 October 1942 (in which Allied commandos were to be executed immediately without trial if captured behind German lines). after the defeat of nazi Germany and Hitler suicide, Alfred Jodl signed the German Instrument of Surrender on 7 May 1945 in Reims as the representative of Dönitz and Nazi Germany surrendered in world war 2.

    The Commando Order was a war crime and justly punished- commandos fought in uniform openly as soldiers. Nothing unusual about raiding tactics- that alone doesn't make one a franc tireur or any other kind of nonstandard pseudo combatant. They were soldiers. Partisans, spies, any commando who happened perhaps to be doing an op in civilian clothes or German uniform, if that happened [it'd be more common for special operators now], would have been legitimate executions. Cases where the soldiers are able to shed foreign kit and are wearing proper national uniform underneath are dodgy, but if they manage to change while fighting and you only capture them after, you are obliged to take them POW. Ruse of war is legal. For example, if the US had captured any Operation Greif units fighting still in Allied uniform, which apparently they did not, the Germans being aware of the way to survive, they could have executed them. [Correction- they did execute several German soldiers taken in US uniform.] Commissars is more difficult. They weren't combatants and did not formally exercise command or hold military officer rank. But they were in uniform and part of the chain of command in some sense, so they were part of the army structure, properly dressed, and could be considered analogous to a member of any uniformed army support services branch, MAYBE entitled to pick up a weapon too and defend a post at need. Plus, the Germans eventually got around to appointing NS Guidance Officers in 1944, their own commissars and, at least, Western Allies didn't execute them. Maybe the Russians did a few, I don't know. They kept vast numbers of POWs never to be seen again, so who knows what they did to most of them, never mind the NSFOs. OTOH, the NSFOs WERE military officers with additional duties and had rank and command authority, indisputably part of the chain of command in the traditional senses. Ultimately I come down on the side history adopted wrt the commissars, but it's a nearer run thing. Of course, in practice, the issue is the Russians would hardly have accepted doing anything else, and they were winners bestriding the carcass of much of German Europe. They earned the right to have at least some of the terms to dictate. If they'd lost, the horrible stuff the Germans would have done to them scarcely bears contemplation, considering what they already had done and what we know of their plans. But even a more legitimate German regime would have been fair to declare the Communist Party and the NKVD criminal organizations like we did with the NSDAP and SS in the real world. Moral equivalence in truth, avoided by Soviet victory.

    A few points: 1. Soviet commissars were not Russian. I would specify what precise ethnicity they are, but KZread is owned and operated by people of that exact ethnicity, and thus ban any mention of this fact. 2. Soviet commissars were the most evil, brutal & sadistic vermin to walk the Earth. The treaties and conventions of humane treatment of POWs did not apply to them because they were not regular uniformed soldiers. 3. It is generally accepted that National Socialist Germany treated American, British, Soviet, etc. POWs in accordance with all treaties and conventions. Commissars (like partizans) were exempt from this for obvious, justified and understandable reasons.

    Germany has not accepted the Nuremberg Trial verdicts until today. The main reason is, that they were based on law which was not valid at the time when the crimes were committed. The conduction of the trials in this way was not necessarily stupid, because most of the committed crimes were also illegal under the law of the Germany Reich. Murder was of course also a crime during 1933 until 1945. And Germany has accepted also the international law of Geneva convention.

    ‘“Murder was a crime during 1933 until 1945.” Murder was a mantra, not a crime, for the Nazis. If a German killed another German, yes, he/she would be put on trial. If the Gestapo or the SS killed a German for whatever reason they were not subjected to any investigation. The murder of innocent ‘enemies’ of the state was not only legal but endorsed and pursued to an extreme. Not to mention the millions of non-‘Aryans’ murdered under the Nazi regime, your statement is absurd and offensive, to say the least.

    La verdad es dura y triste: cuando un país gana una guerra no sólo tiene derechos totales sobre el territorio de la nación vencida, También se gana el “derecho” a (re)escribir la historia del conflicto que condujo a la guerra. Se hace del derecho de imponer su propio punto de vista como “la verdad”, acusando al país derrotado de ser “maligno, equivocado, criminal y ambicioso…” “nosotros somos los buenos; los otros son siempre los malos”. “Nuestros muchachos son héroes; los otros son monstruos diabólicos que merecen ser muertos hasta el último bebe de 2 años”. Pues, si honestamente se deseara castigar los crímenes de guerra cometidos por todos los países beligerantes - vencedores y vencidos - entonces se tendría que montar un tribunal internacional militar y político de gigantescas proporciones, y libre de dobles estándares y censura. Pues si de crímenes de guerra se trata, ¿qué podemos decir entonces del caso del Comandante Británico de la Real Fuerza Aérea durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Sir Arthur Harris (también conocido como, “Bombardero Harris” y “Carnicero Harris”), quién inventó e implementó el concepto de “bombardeos por área” en lugar de “bombardeos de precisión”; eufemísticamente, “Bombardeos Estratégicos”, que era otra manera de decir “si algo se mueve en territorio alemán hay que pulverizarlo completamente”. En julio de 1943, a través de la “Operación Gomorra”, el “Bombardero Harris” supo desatar una horrenda tormenta de fuego con sus bombarderos sobre Hamburgo, achicharrando a decenas de miles de civiles, que luego repitió con enorme éxito sobre todas las grandes ciudades de Alemania. En sus propias palabras, “el objetivo de la Ofensiva Bombardera Combinada debiera explicitarse sin ambigüedad: se buscaba destruir las ciudades alemanas, matando a trabajadores alemanes, y desarticulando la vida civilizada en toda Alemania… destruyendo viviendas, servicios públicos, transportes y vidas, generando un problema de refugiados a una escala sin precedentes, que conduzca al colapso de la moral tanto en la retaguardia como en los frentes de guerra debido al miedo a los bombardeos amplios y crecientes. Estas son las metas aceptadas e intencionales de nuestra política de bombardeos. No son una mera consecuencia de nuestros esfuerzos para destruir factorías” Terminada la guerra mundial, ¿alguien juzgó al “Bombardero Harris” por sus horrendos crímenes? No exactamente. En vez, en 1992 la Reina Madre de Inglaterra inauguró una estatua honrando la memoria de Harris en el predio de la Iglesia San Clemente Danés en Londres, mientras muchos manifestantes gritaban “¡Harris fue un criminal de guerra!” Pues la Verdad Histórica es que cientos de miles de hombres, mujeres y niños alemanes - civiles y militares - sufrieron horrendas muertes y heridas gracias a la creatividad del “Bombardero Harris” ¿Y qué hay de políticos “democráticos” como el presidente estadounidense Franklin Roosevelt y el premier británico Winston Churchill, y sus jefes militares que unieron sus fuerzas para destruir la ciudad abierta de Dresde en febrero 1945 cuando la derrota alemana era ineludible y esa ciudad se había convertido en un punto de reunión para cientos de miles de refugiados civiles que huían del avance del Ejército Rojo? El 13 de febrero de 1945 Inglaterra despachó una primera oleada de 244 bombarderos cuatrimotor pesados de la RAF, seguidos por una segunda oleada de 529 bombarderos. Al día siguiente, Estados Unidos despachó 300 bombarderos pesados B17. Todos sobre Dresde. Se estima que hubo más de 300.000 muertos - la mayoría civiles, incluyendo a decenas de miles de niños. Todos calcinados por el fuego y las bombas. Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña alegan que no tenían otra opción que asesinar a millones y millones en Hamburgo, Dresde, Berlín, Múnich, Hannover, Frankfurt, Colonia, Ulm, Tokio, Kioto, Osaka, Hiroshima y Nagasaki… ¡Sólo lo hicieron para terminar rápidamente con aquella guerra!,,, la doble moral de los "democraticos" aliados…

Because of the Americans objections the executions were put back for 7 days but he was then executed .These deliberations went on behind the scenes .

Much like the WEF, UN, (WHO), EU and NATO are doing today. On the other hand - just like taking out Saddam did not end well, the CIA orchestrated yellow spring by taking out Ghaddafi did not end well, the creating of ISIS by the CIA, the CIA money to the Talibans against Soviet and the killing of Anwar Sadat back in 81 did not end well... I'm not sure an orchestrated take over by the US deep state ruling the uniformed (uninformed?) army would end particularly well either. Nothing is straight forward in world politics.

    @@user-es7rm9gb5g I largely agree with you that many of the senior officers of the Wehrmacht - and all of the SS middle and high ranking officers deserved to be executed. They were for the most part cold blooded killers, whose bestial behaviour put them outside the norms of society! They deserved the ultimate sanction of death. However, with Field Marshall Jodl, a case could be made for a very long term of imprisonment, like Albert Speer. Yet, the Tribunal sentenced him to death. Why? Jodl signed the Commissar Order of 6 June 1941 (in which Soviet political commissars were to be shot) and the Commando Order of 28 October 1942 (in which Allied commandos, including properly uniformed soldiers as well as combatants wearing civilian clothes, such as Maquis and partisans, were to be executed immediately without trial if captured behind German lines). Also in 1941, Jodl made this statement: ‘ In view of the vast size of the occupied areas in the East the forces available for establishing security in these areas will be sufficient only if all resistance is punished, not by legal prosecution of the guilty, but by the spreading of such terror by the occupying power as is appropriate to eradicate every inclination to resist among the population. The competent commanders must find the means of keeping order not by demanding more security forces but by applying suitable Draconian methods.’ These chilling words left no room for doubt as to what Jodl wanted to achieve. Jodl couldn’t escape his wartime statements.

What aboat you who justifies your own atroccities ..... When you step over a certain line, you disqualify yourself for Geneva treatment, but unfortanately many Allies had the odacity to got away Scott free. The Germans paid for what the Nazi's did in Ww 2 with 7 ooo ooo soldiers dead, no argue aboat that, but the other side did not pay.The winner writes the laws and history. What annoyed me aboat this justice after the war, when the allies started to demonized and criminalized fighting soldiers for how good they fought or the obvious consequences of war when man start killing his fellow human being. Questions: *but do you judge Gruppen Fuhrer Johachim Pheipher, shooting American POW at Malmedi, while he saw the same thing hapened to thousands of his comrades when executed by Soviets on Eastern Front and Amerians GI's( o yes, it was a national sport with the soldiers of uncle Sam, especially with Waffen SS. 80 years before that the North and South did it to each other, cruelty of note, why will it stop now. Man is evil, does not matter what language he speaks. Even PARATROOPER, of Band Of Brothers, Lt Dick Winters at some stage in his memoirs mentioned when ordering taking back POWs he removed all ammo from the GI task to take the POWs back for processing, but only one bullet, knowing the habit of murdering POWs in process to POW assembly points. Reason behind it, if you use your bullet the other POWs will jump you. Regardless, many German POWs did not make it to the assembly points *I myself, 1944/45 would have no problem ordering the shooting on the spot of downed bomber crews from. B 18s and Lancasters, shot down over Germany while the 8th Airforce commander, and Bomber Harris, ordering their men, not to bomb military targets any more but with pure evil intent, to see how Manny Civilian targets, targeting Woman and children you can kill, then you want to claim rights????? does not work that way!! sorry! 💀They hanged Jodl but what aboat Bomber Harris and His American Counterpart of the big 8 * Do you execute a Waffen SS fighter for being one of Germany best elite Soldiers, what aboat the Russian Guards, British Dragoons, US Marines(called Devil Soldiers) all vicious fighting men and not very preoccupied with prisoners. Ask the Japanese aboat the USMC , the Ghurkas etc, all fighting units striking fear into their enemies, all have one thing in common, taking prisoners were rare and a slight "suggestion" DO we hang them all. If I would have been a young German,and 6 ft,i would defenatelly be in the Waffen SS or a Falschirmjager because a young volunteer head work like that! Are they Criminals? *Do you hang Hary Truman who refused to allow more than 2 000 000 Amari cans killed invading Japan..... certainly not!!! SO I PERSONALLY FEELS THE ALLIES OVERSTEPPED THE LINE, THE DAY THEY STARTED TREATED FIGHTING SOLDIERS OF GERMAN ARMY, KRIEGSMARINE AND LUFTWAFFE AS MURDERING CRIMINALS BECAUSE YOU RESENT THE HARD TIME HE GAVE YOU!

He served his government, as all soldiers do and, after the war fell prey to the Punitive, Reactionary "Denazification" murders committed by the Allies. On the whole, as my research has it, the Wermacht was not a National socialist organisation but a Patriotic Army led by a Dictator. Many of the German Generals executed by the Allies where just Soldiers doing their duty. Much like the Soldiers doing their duty in Iraq, Syria, Afganistan etc. etc. Have you any knowlege of the law passed after 1945 which states that "No Allied Leader or seviceman can be charged with War Crimes". Have you heard of the Rhine Meadows Concentration Camps? Where Millions of Germans where Staved to death by Churchill and Isenhower after the war. History needs to be studied from all angles to give us a clear view of who and where we are and to shed light on what is going on now. Because what is going on now is not too far removed from early Nazi Germany or Early Soviet Russia. Think thats enough for now. BE MORE PIRATE :)
