Fascinating documentary, thank you. Frank was a horrible person who deserves neither our pity nor our forgiveness. His youngest son has a message for people because of his dad, "Don't trust us [Germans]." He was very scarred by his father's actions and his execution, which happened when he was quite small. He carries the photo of his dad after he was hanged to remind himself to never feel sorry for him, and to remind himself of what his dad was and did.

More evidence of the way Hitler used and then betrayed his lieutenants, Frank started out as a lawyer for the party, eventually becoming a Minister of Justice, before being stripped of all his powers and sent to the worst part of Poland to become an administrator with few powers. Hitler did not seem to care for administrative types who showed anything resembling a conscience or anyone who seemed to make waves whenever he changed his mind on political matters. Ernst Rohm was a classic example. Without Rohm, the Nazis would have never come to power, but later on, he was seen as a liability and was executed without trial. Loyalty meant nothing to the Fuehrer. He wanted loyalty from everyone, but he owed them none!

That’s not true. Hitler was extremely loyal to certain of his subordinates. Even when Goering was obviously incompetent, hooked on drugs and becoming an increasingly laughable figure, Hitler stood by him. Stalin would’ve had Goering shot after the Battle of Britain. Hitler remained loyal to Ribbentrop, long after he’d outlived his usefulness and he tolerated Himmler’s hypochondria and bizarre superstitious beliefs, only turning against him when he discovered he was trying to negotiate with the allies. Hitler even allowed Albert Speer to live after he admitted that he had been disobeying the Fuhrer’s orders. Hitler was a human being who could be very lenient with people he liked and ruthless and dismissive of people he didn’t….just like most of us.

True

Hans Frank had been aware of the 'Final Solution' and had a significant position in the regime responsible for it. Whatever the level of remorse shown, he had participated in the genocide and was therefore correctly punished by death as a result. He was the individual responsible for the General Government from its beginning until end and whatever level of involvement in or responsibility for the extermination of millions, he could not have been expected other than to have paid the price - and the price was not just his life but the continuing association of him with the Final Solution. It's through informative records like this that enable us to individually and en-masse to maintain an awareness of guilt, direct and indirect, with this most terrible of crimes whether we are Jewish or not.

Pretty good, once again the idea that Frank felt remorse came up. I think it’s a little odd that you mentioned Sixtus O’Connor (Catholic Chaplain) here but didn’t mention Henry Gerecke (Protestant Chaplain) in your Keitel or Ribbentrop documentaries despite the fact that we know considerably more about his service at Nuremberg. Apparently shortly before execution Frank asked O’Connor if he could mark a few cross (and to tell his children he had died well for his crimes) symbols on his body like his mother did when he was a child and O’Connor obliged. Hans Frank may have felt real remorse (in part I think it was true because he willingly surrendered his diaries which were later used to prosecute him) but I agree that doesn’t mean he should have escaped his death sentence. His hanging was at least relatively clean and quick compared to Ribbentrop’s and especially Keitel’s.

Yes. Your effort is excellent. Yes, Frank was a horror story, and there are many pictures that can be painted to show this. One, his use of Jewish Peoples as personal slaves, gardeners etc, amidst casual murder being carried out in his presence, should these individuals act contrary to orders. So many lawyers and doctors gained rank in the SS and SD, and they were, Frank among them, some of the worst individuals any Nation could possible create.

I agree that his execution was just, remorse or no; but I do hope that his repentance was genuine and that he was able to find peace in the end.

In this video it states that Speer got a life sentence which is incorrect. Speer served 20 years along with Schirach and both were released on the same day. Speer died in London in 1981. Hess got life along with others who were released on health reasons. Hess was the only prisoner never to be released. Thanks for posting.

Albert Speer was sentenced to 20 years prison not life

One of my favorite Nazi biographies(Alfred Jodl and Julius Streicher were others).

Very interesting some of it was new to me, as I watch many videos about the German leaders of WW2.

Where are Frank's diaries now housed? Are they accessible to academic researchers?

Excellant video.

Very good.

Any chance of doing a profile on Edmund Heines?

Well researched & exceedingly well presented. As to Hans Frank's culpability... I'd say: Ranking in the lower-middle level of the world's worst serial mass-murderers is hardly praiseworthy. It does make me wonder, how a priest can presume the right to give absolution to the murderer of a million or so utterly innocent men, woman & children, none of who were consulted. That seems to take a world-class amount of chutzpa, to me.

Interesting video

These armies look absolutely primitive in 1935-6 compared with a short 4-5 years later in 1940-41. Possibly partially due to improvments in photography and film, but it sometimes appears as though the entire German country , cities, towns, scenery, street scenes, people and their attire , etc.etc. became very modern over night ! If the Wall street financial criminals had not brought about the international crash, just imagin what might have followed instead of what did.

Even though Hans Frank was a gruesome, brutal, terrifying person, he has a wonderful son whom I really admire for his courage to still engage for peace and democracy even though he's old meanwhile and still facing a lot of hate from right-wing-people. Niklas Frank is a great man.

Wonderful documentary and should say you are always excellent in being unbiased in presentation which helps us understand a person’s evolution & complexities. Like most said, Frank was prob appalled at the extent to which Nazis went but he was weak enuff not to do anything about it. It doesn’t excuse him as he is accountable as he accepted the position offered to him knowing well the nature of these guys. However , I think WW2 also presents a complex view of the region there. Russians hated the Poles as much as Nazis did , poles were anti Semitic too from what I understood. So in the end the only thing common was hate which one group exploited to commit horrors that shud shame humanity as a whole.

Kinda seems like he was sentenced death not for having much direct impact on the situation, but for being a cheerleader of it

Also no mention of the vicious thug Bandera in the Borderlands/Volhynia/Wolyn in 1943 and the massacres he was responsible for stirring up (this is the guy Putin is referring to when he talks about Nazis in Ukraine).

However , please no Native Americans were sent to their death by gas chamber or intentional starvation or worked to death through forced labor. While there is a feeling America should return the land taken from American Indian Tribes, I suggest you start with surrendering any land you own and any all members of your family own. Tribe members were given reparations. While the American past is filled with racial injustices. The world must move forward and never repeat our brutal past and injustices toward any group. Never Again. By the way my husband is part Miami Indian ( proven lineage). My stepmother's family left Poland in the mid 1930s to escape Hitler.

Frank's biography reveals a man shamed by his father's malfeasance, haunted by a sense of inferiority, and intellectually limited. Weren't his "objections" at the Wansee Conference more for his own protection from legal liability, ironically under the laws of Das Dritte Reich/Nuremberg, for the cataclysmic eventualities that followed?
