The priest who was with Ribbentrop on the scaffold was the American Lutheran chaplain Henry Gerecke (1893-1961), who wrote quite a lot about his dealings with the Protestant Nazis on trial. (There was a separate Catholic chaplain for the Catholic Nazis.) Gerecke was from Missouri, and served as an army chaplain from 1943, one of 253 American Lutheran chaplains to the US forces. Two of his sons fought on the Western front and were severely wounded, one of them in the Battle of the Bulge. After Nuremberg, Gerecke returned to the States and eventually became a pastor at the St John Lutheran church in Chester, Illinois, where he died from a heart attack in 1961.

Had the IMT cared about conducting a proper hanging, they'd have contracted with British hangman Albert Pierrepoint, who'd recently conducted the hangings of the condemned, including the infamous Irma Griese ("The Blond Beast"), whose only last word before she was hanged was "Schnell !" ("Quickly"). Pierrepoint knew what he was doing, MSGT Woods, inexplicably promoted directly from Buck Private when he accepted the job, had joined the Navy in 1929, went AWOL only a few months later, and when caught, after being court-martialed, was examined by the Navy psychiatrist and found to be "undesirable material" and was discharged. Woods worked various jobs, mostly as a common laborer, before he was inducted into the Army at age 32 in 1943. He volunteered for the hangman position in October of 1944 and falsely stated that he'd conducted two hangings in Texas and one in Oklahoma. Had the Army actually made any attempt to verify his experience, they'd have found that at the time Woods claimed to have performed the hangings, both states used the electric chair! Woods hanged at least 34 American soldiers, convicted of capital crimes such as rape or murder, a substantial portion of the condemned being black. At least 11 of these executions, conducted between 1944 and 1946, were considered as "bungled". Woods himself died in an unfortunate accident at Eniwetok Atoll in 1950. Most of the other hangings of Nazis on Oct 16, 1946, by Woods and his team, were likewise poorly conducted, but I'm sure that few, if any, felt or still feel sorry for THEIR suffering, in light of which regime they'd eagerly served and their respective parts in it. The man who likely would have gone first, Hermann Goring, had taken a cyanide pill, secreted in his luggage, and it's believed that a US Army 1LT, Jack C Wheelis, whom the former Reichsmarshall befriended, had facilitated it, but whether he knew it or was duped by Goring will remain a mystery.

Yes, having looked at the Wikipedia entry for Ribbentrop it's fairly clear that quite a lot of the commentary is lifted wholesale from that site -- which, in my view, is pretty lazy. Also, no mention is made of the fact that he wasn't really 'von' Ribbentrop at all: he lifted the 'von' (known as the Nobiliary Particle) from his aunt, who adopted him. Also, he didn't work for Pommery as a champagne salesman, but for the German company Henkell (he married the heiress Anna Henkell). As Göbells said of him: "He bought his title, married his money, and swindled his way to the top".

Fucken ridiculous, next you say that Stalin scared the french into surrender or tried to achieve "peace for our time" by uncontrollably appeasing Hitler.

You either dont push the situation to the point where THAT happens or you deal with the consequences quickly and mercilessly before they turn dire. Allies were BOTH too heavy handed and too weak. By the time Hitler was in Poland next global war was already a foregone conclusion, he deemed himself a "savior of Europe from judeo-bolshevism" and would have attacked USSR regardless of circumstances because they were his largest ideological enemy, embodiment of the ideology he hated. He also saw Britain and France and basically anybody who wasnt goosestepping to his insane tune as an enemy. What have they expected? Also on the final note - you REALLY think that if USSR havent taken over part of Poland there wouldnt be next World War? How that would have being? Hitler takes over ENTIRE Poland and suddenly forgets why he's even there and goes home to eat some sauerkraut?

Actually Ribbentropp did question Hitler about his Pact with England concerning greater East Europe; asking: “But what about that piece of paper?” Knowing all the while that Hitler was planning war. It may have been a weak gesture, but either way Hitler balled up the Pact, and threw it aside saying: “ That piece of paper means nothing!”, or something to that effect. However, it seems like, as with everyone else that wanted to have a finger in the pie; that the best way to stay close to Hitler was to help send people to MASS MURDER!

Esa es la clásica defensa de los horrendos crímenes nazis. No deberian quejarse, la desnazificacion fue algo muy light, Angelitos como Sep Dietrich, general al mando de la "das reich" de las SS, famoso por el episodio de Oradour sur glane, pero que había hecho lo mismo en Bielorrusia decenas de veces, murió en la cama. Speer, que esclavizo y aniquiló a millones de trabajadores de los territorios ocupados, no solo se libro de la horca, sino que gozó de cierta popularidad como "nazi bueno".Hubo muy pocos ejecutados para la cantidad ingente de crímenes y criminales. Al acabar la guerra"nadie sabía nada", pero era mentira, todos sabían todo, es imposible que no supiesen

Von Ribbentrop was a vile man but should he have been executed by the court he appeared before? The crimes he was charged with were identical to the actions of the Soviet leadership, especially Molotov, yet "judges" from that regime determined his guilt and punishment. He was absolutely involved in the general planning and execution of the Holocaust, yet his codefendents who weren't executed, especially Speer, had greater responsibility than he did. The Soviet leadership were all involved in even greater mass murders than the Nazis. As for planning the war, most of the British leadership was complicit in planning several wars, not least of which was WWI. He deserved execution but Nuremburg was largely a hypocritical farce and a kangaroo court. It is no surprise that Roosevelt, who was responsible for the mass deportations of American citizens in two world wars (He was involved in the far less well known confiscations of property and deportations of German Americans in WWI a quarter century before he did the same thing to the Japanese Americans. I know because my German American great grandfather was his victim in WWI and my Japanese American godfather his victim in WWII.), appointed his Justice Department henchman to be the American prosecutor. A few years before he had conducted political judicial persecutions of Republicans, like the infamous Paul Mellon case, in the 1930's. It would have been better to have judged and executed the Nazis using carefully monitored German tribunals, where they would have faced the guillotine, or military tribunals. The botched executions, and Goering's escape by suicide due to an idiotic and corrupt guard (self confessed on his deathbed) are indications of the ineptitude the Western Allied leadership, especially Eisenhower and the military, brought to the farcical trials. That a clearly insane man, who had little or no responsibility for what he was charged with, like Hess was tried at all is in itself criminal. It appears he knew things about the Soviet Union's pre-war activities Stalin didn't want revealed, so the obedient Western leadership followed Stalin's commands. Whatever crimes Hess committed when he was sane were crimes against Germans, not foreigners and the responsibility of German courts. The failure of the Western Allies to monitor the farcical post-war German courts is another black mark against them. The Nuremburg Courts are like a bad sausage. They look, and smell, worse the closer you get to them. Also, Hitler was a very wicked and evil man but he was no coward. He and Churchill were the only major WWII political leaders to expose themselves near combat (Hitler was close to Soviet troops on occasion) and to have distinguished WWI records (Churchill commanded front line troops and served on the front, Hitler served four years in active combat and had been wounded). He stuck near the front lines until his suicide and shot himself. While I don't approve of suicide it was a better end than the cringing suicides of Himmler and Goering, or the attempts to evade justice by Speer and others. Would that vile creatures like Neville Chamberlin or Sir Samuel Hoare have committed suicide to atone for their responsibilities in bringing on the war than attempting to continue their political careers. Why is being a champagne saleman for several years after serving in the army one of von Ribbentrop's many crimes? The English always being this up. Was it a crime to work for a living? What about generally worthless, but celebrated, members of the English Royal Family like Lord Mountbatten, who were rewarded with positions and lauded for them, without having any qualifications other than being the genetic products of their normally queer fathers. Mountbatten, who rose ever and ever higher despite a long list of failures, reached his apogee in the post-WWII bloody partition of the Indian subcontinent while he was the last Viceroy. Yet he's never criticized for being a permanently unemployed functionary of the Royals. Please. Of course in the end he was punished for his arrogance by treating Ireland as if it was still a Crown Territory and going there on a boating holiday while ten Irish Nationalists were dying on hunger strikes to simply be recognized as political prisoners. There he met his explosive end. He still didn't have a real job.

If you're referring to "Inglorious Basterds", which German character? The German "Gefreiter" sniper was an equivalent to Audie Murphy; "Herr Doktor" Josef Goebbels fairly well depicted, though his mistress, aide, and translator (Julie Dreyfuss) being French, is an expy of Goebbel's Czech mistress Lida Barrova. As for SS-Standartenfuhrer Hans Landa, no known equivalent, likely a composite, I'm not aware of any SS or SD officer being nicknamed "The Jew Hunter" or similar. Sturmbannfuhrer Dieter Hellstrom is simply a fictional officer, based on stereotypes of SS and Gestapo men, and likely would not, by 1944, be wearing the Allegemie-SS Hugo-Boss uniform, as nor would Landa; both would either wear civilian attire or Waffen-SS uniforms which were almost identical to Heer attire. As the Nazi heirarchy is wiped out in the theater fire in this alternative history of WWII in Tarantiono's movie, not exactly the same as the Nuremburg trials, though it depicts the Nazis getting their "just desserts", especially Hitler being riddled by gunfire from the two of the "Eight...American...JEWISH sodiers (SSgt Donowitz and PFC Ulmer) as the theater went up in flames. Although Landa asserts, in negotiating letting Lt. Raine and his men succeed in killing the Nazi leadership, that if they got "Hitler, Goring, Goebbels, and Borman" and they needed all four, "to end the war", no mention made of Himmler, nor many Nazi party functionaries, nor the Wehrmacht, and we certainly don't know of the Soviets and how things were going on the Eastern Front in this timeline.

There are a lot of people that state Joachim von Ribbentrop should have not have been executed, especially when someone like Albert Speer was not executed. Apparently, his name being so well known at the time as foreign minister is what really got him hanged. I don't know much about that but it sure seems like there were a few people that were hanged simply so they couldn't be used or worshipped by followers later on. That's a tough call if a person really had nothing to do with certain claims that have been made. I really do wonder about some of the Germans that were executed and many of the German/Nazi scientists that went on to live comfortable lives in the US and the UK. History really is written by the victors.

Absolutely. Albert Pierrepoint was an experienced British hangman who seemed like the obvious choice for the executioner. He had already hanged hundreds of ordinary murderers in England, as well as several German spies who were captured during the war. But several high ranking allied officers intervened to have John C. Woods do it instead. They had a feeling that Woods was a sadist with no real experience, who would hopefully underestimate the rope length so the prisoners would die slowly. Pierrepoint did hang a dozen or so war criminals from other trials after Woods botched so many.

His supporters said he was good because he knew this duke or that royal. The problem was that they all knew Ribbentrop.
