The JUSTIFIED Execution Of Karl Hermann Frank - The Beast Of Prague
As the Nazis and the German Army took over large parts of Europe during the Second World War, millions of people were forced to live under Nazi occupation. This meant that their lives were changed forever, and even countries such as France and the Netherlands had to live with this for a number of years until the Second World War turned against Hitler and the Third Reich. One country which was taken early by the Germans was Czechoslovakia, and it suffered greatly during World War 2.
One man who rose to prominence was Karl Hermann Frank. He was a key Nazi in the Sudetenland and became incredibly powerful as the Nazis took over Czechoslovakia. He was placed into a number of different positions in which he helped run 'Bohemia and Moravia' with different people such as Reinhard Heydrich. Along with Heydrich, the two were incredibly brutal and they executed hundreds of innocent Czechs to bring the rest into submission and to make the Czechs work harder for the Nazi war effort. Heydrich however was assassinated, and following this Karl Hermann Frank ordered horrific massacres and reprisals for the Czechs.
Frank continued his reign of terror over the Czechs and tried to defend Prague right up until the end of World War 2, but following this failing he was arrested by the Americans. He was then handed over to the Czechs and placed on trial and was sentenced to death, but in front of a crowd of thousands he was executed in a busy Prague street. He truly was a despicable and immensely cruel man.

I am finding these interesting as my uncle was in the 4th RAC and was captured after his tank was blown up. He was a prisoner in a stalag South of Prague and was made to repair buildings that had been damaged by bombing. Unfortunately he fell from a roof and killed 3 days before Russia started liberating the country. He is burried in the Commonwealth War Graves in Prague.
That's very sad. Have you ever been to his grave? I am not from Prague but from another Czech city, but if I ever visit Prague war cemetry, I will surely remember story of your uncle.
No but his daughter who he never met has they took some sand from his grave and when his wife died we threw some on top of her coffin
Your uncle is part of what they call The Greatest Generation! Men like your uncle saved us!
I’m so sorry for your family . So close to freedom. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@gonefishing167 On Prague war cemetry, there are mostly POWs and victims of accidents. Even among the Red Army soldiers, because they reached Prague when the fighting was almost finished, so those who fell, did so in the very last moments of war. Others died of injuries, or in some accidents and there is even fifty or so soldiers who died of alcohol poisoning. Those are the biggest tragedies - when someone survives the war, only to be struck down by a car week after or dies because happy citizens gave them too much alcohol... The story of this British soldier is one of such tragedies. He had to know that the end was approaching, that it would be today, or tomorrow, or day after and he would be free and would write to his family... It reminds me of one Russian war movie I saw on YT (with English subtitles, I am not that good in Russian to see it without them). It's about the young Russian officer in WWII. At the end, the hero survives the war and writes his love on the 9th May that he will soon return and then there are the end titles saying that he died three days after this letter. I always considered it the tribute to all those who died shortly before or shortly after the end.
2 blocks from the Matilda Boat Hotel is the Church with the crypt where the Czech SOE boys who got Heydrich were being hidden ... the bullet scars are still there clearly visible on the street around the footpath level crypt window ... they were ratted out and payed the ultimate price ... Inside the Church foyer is a small museum dedicated to them ... and in the crypt itself are head busts of the agents.... truly brave people.
The place where Karl Frank was executed itself (Pankrác Prison) was the place where captured Czech resistance members were guillotined and their mass buried bodies were found.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy
Thats right

Only reason to hide history is to repeat it.

I’ve learned so much watching your channel. Excellently done!! ❤️
The crazy thing about this time and what happened is that it's so hard to distinguish between a Czeck, a Pole, a Jew, a German or any of them, but they were so hung up on the minor differences they actually murdered!
The execution of Karl Hermann Frank was justified, worse is what happened to his lawyer. Frank wanted German lawyer, he got a Czech one, but one who tried to do a good job (I think Frank himself was aware of that his ex offo Czech lawyer wasn't shirking his duties, but did a good job). The lawyer - Kamill Resler - didn't want the job, but when he got it, he did it well. Because any defendant has a right to have a defense lawyer who tries his best for their client. That was what Resler believed in and therefore he did a good job even for a man he personaly despised. It was also a reason why he got the job. The trial brought international interest, so the Czech authorities didn't want a mock trial with a shi**y defense. But the Czech public didn't understand that and considered Resler to be a traitor. And how Resler reacted? He took another unpopular cases - Gestapo confidents, traitors, etc. because he wanted to spare another ex offo lawyers of what he himself suffered. And he suffered a lot, personaly as well as proffesionaly. He end up kicked off of lawyer's association. A great man with firm believe in legal state, sometimes he is called "Frank's last victim."
Shame for that lawyer..I guess it must be similar for lawyers who defend trash like Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacey, as they are professional and have to put aside their own judgement and morals as someone has to do it I must admit though I find it difficult to comprehend how anyone can take these cases
@@XxpauldadudexX not shame for lawyer at all. He became the punching bag so other colleagues could hold up their head high. Law is not law until you have a prosecutor and defender. Otherwise anyone can execute like the Nazis did without a court. That is what makes a difference to civilized society. The law that even the lowest dredges of society can be given their voice and then determined by peers if guilty or not.
100% agree. Our justice system mandated by our constitution is far superior to that of Nazi Germany and Trump cultists NAZIS!
If you don’t think evil people deserve a fair trial, then you just want to kill them outright. Just like the evil people do.
@@Sirissssss I was once charged as a felon. I have my suspicions over all of that, I think it was a set up. But for what it is worth. My Dad served as a guard at Nuremberg post WWII. The due process of law was a big deal to him. He also told me that British Intelligence had Heydrich killed, because the Czech's got along a little too good with the Germans at the time. Too bad none of it happened and we just learned to get along after WWI.
Just can’t get enough of this WW2 stuff!! Thank You!!
Thanks for sharing😊
...and yet not one Russian was ever executed for their agreement with the Nazi's for their offensive actions against Poland and the raffle of the 3 baltic nations.
Doesn´t surprise anyone. Was any of the RAF pilots hanged for the bombing of the Boelcke Barracks on April 3rd & 4th 1945, only a few weeks before the end of WWII in Europe? More than 1000 casualties caused by the British in this concentration camp - subcamp accuse!
Merci pour toutes vos vidéos et continuez !!!...
These documentaries are excellent and really good history lessons. I am 73 years old, and I never knew, that so many Nazi war criminals were brought to justice. Thank you so much .
I'm a German born after the war... I'm still very sorry about what has happened that time but there are still people with Hitler's attitude in our world.. it's a shame
I am Half German (Bavarian) and half Czech (Bohemian), you don´t have to be sorry, it was not you who is responsible for what happened when you wasn´t on this world as i am not. But yes, there are still people in Germany and also here in Czech Rep. who are idiots and who think that the nazi order was kind of nice.
A shame is also that the whole world turned a blind eye on the suffering of the Jews. The USA did everything to keep them out of their country, 103 million Americans ( = 83% of the US-population) oposed to save Jewish refugees from Austria & Germany in 1939. And the rest of the world was not better.
The works would have been perfect I don’t think it’s a better world Today always the best ideas and work is lost be user of people who oppose to progress in the ultimate fashion

I'd love to think that genocide isn't a disturbing quality of the human condition with varying degrees but the truth is that we're horribly tribal at times. Lets learn from past mistakes if we can.
Maybe you and I can, but not humanity. You can prepare yourself a list of genocides that occurred since 1945 and the list is sadly rather long.
More people have been killed in the name of equality than any sort of tribalism.
I am afraid we don not learn anything. This could happen again in the future with all the populist at the helm.
I'd love to believe that God was not the planner of these genocides.
A hope that, I am afraid, is not going to happen. The only point of studying history is to learn lessons from it and not to repeat past mistakes. However, humans have proved again and again an unerring ability to undertake the most barbaric crimes against other humans with whom they do not agree. The quest for power and to maintain that power is seemingly the strongest urge that certain humans possess. Certainly, those humans are a small percentage of the total but their willingness to put personal ambition above the norms of morality is ...disturbing. As I come to the end of my life, I see very little, if any, sign that future generations will be spared from recurring barbarity.

On May 2 1945 Eamon de Valera as Irish prime minister and minister for external affairs, accompanied by Joseph Walshe, the secretary of the Department of External Affairs, visited Dr Eduard Hempel, the German representative in Dublin, to sign a book of condolences opened on account of the death of Adolf Hitler. Walshe claimed that he and Frederick Boland, the assistant secretary of the department, had implored de Valera not to go. Literally on bended knees, we asked him to remember all the Irish-Americans who had lost their lives during the war, but because he had been to the United States embassy two weeks earlier to condole on the death of President Roosevelt he was afraid of being accused of being partisan
Was Eamon de Valera a Nazi sympathiser? It was reported that during ww2, Ireland welcomed many Nazi visitors thought to be on spying mission to gather intelligence about invading the UK. Churchill was so alarmed that he had plans drawn up to invade and occupy parts of Ireland !
Heidrich actually survived there assasination attempt but died in the hospital soon after from infections caused by bits of his uniform and fabric from the car seat shrapnel that got in his blood stream
He tried a feeble attempt of a Hitler salute during the execution. Truly evil man.
5,000 Czechs were murdered in retaliation for Heydrichs assassination. Thankfully he faced the hang mans noose.
Again. Another scumbag I'd never heard of....
5,000 Czechs were just for the Heydrichs assassination, that's on top of the murders that were openly committed along with the hundreds of thousands that were just made to disappear. Nazis were besides Stalin and henchmen the most murderous regime I think + I say think because there may have been worse + I'm just unaware of them
@@robertgoines1831 this is actually difficult correctly to estimate. The number of victims of Nazi regime in Czech lands is considered to be 300 000. Number of direct victims killed /mudered by Communist regime is estimated much lower, but its necessary to take into account that the regime existed for 40 years and destroyed many lives of people directly/indirectly. Like people having lives shortened by being in prison or sent to labor camps.
At the Nuremberg war crimes commission they estimated that 11 million Germans could be classified as war criminals. Thats how many should have been hung!
@@mikeoz4803 just look at the US nowadays, how easy it is to fool people with hateful and blatantly untrue messages. Drumpf only had to say the election was stolen ( which it was not) to incite people to overthrow the elections and democracy. That’s all it takes: a powerhungry psychopath. Sad really. And just like many ordinary German people, ordinary US-citizens are trapped in the same inhuman policies. So please, don’t point the finger but clean up your own frontyard. Wishing you all the best in these dangerous times!
When Frank died he became a, "Cancelled Czech" (Czech).
Let him suffer forever. Let Righteousness flow on like a river.
I agree Respectfully.
However letting him suffer may not do benefits maybe we should let him change for god said I do not take pleasure in the suffering of the wicked,but take joy in the repentance of the wicked-book of Ezekiel

@@zerosparky9510 how would u know? U r not god there is still one last chance for him in the final judgment if he did not repent and admit god at that point then he can’t be saved the main point is not how many evil deeds he did but whether he wants to change his life and accept god

Bit of a stretch to say the soviets “freed” Prague.
Not really. Czechoslovakia didn't become communist until the coup in Feb 1948.
Much better than the Nazis but I take your point.
Actually it was the Vlasov Army, anti-Communist Russians who first liberated Prague.
@@bobapbob5812 Vlasov's Army were there but their contribution was not decisive. Lets put it this way: if Vlasov's Army were not there do you think the Germans would have held Prague? There was also the Prague Uprising in which the local Communists took part. In fact a few American soldiers made it to Prague too.
@@noelpucarua2843 I didn't say Vlasov freed Prague. They were the first on the scene. I worked with an AF E6 whose father was in Vlasov's army.
The Panamanian town of Lídice de Capira changed its original name shortly after the war to honor those whom this criminal had murdered in Lidice, in 5he Czech Republic.
I think there was more such towns and villages around the globe. Quite opposite to what Nazis expected, I am sure. They wanted to erase the name from maps and memory.
...I REMEMBER REALLY THAT A TOWN IN THE U.S. CHANGED IT'S NAME TO "LIDICE".
Good morning, and Thank You. I just found this video.
Just a minor correction. Karl Frank’s execution was not “captured on tape”, it was filmed and so captured on celluloid. Video tape recording wasn’t invented until 1951.
Yeah, that was a weird one. I was wondering if he meant audio tape, but did they even have it back then? On the other hand, a lot of people today use the verb "to film" something, when they're just digitally recording video with their phones.
@@alukuhito audio tapes were first developed by German sound engineers in the 1930s but weren’t commercially available until the 1950s. The commentator doesn’t say the execution of Karl Frank was audio tape recorded, he probably saw the film ( now digitised) as the event can be seen on KZhead.
If you live your life exactly to the letter of the principles and moralities that were taught to you all your life and believed wholeheartedly that the evils you do are necessary to preserve order and the state, who is ultimately truly the more responsible; the society or the individual?
Both. The state for being morally reprehensible and the individual, who has the power of reason and, like us all, knows right from wrong. Every decision we make, we reason with ourselves, mostly know what the correct choice is, and usually make that choice.
@@XxpauldadudexX said, "who has the power of reason and, like us all, knows right from wrong." We are not born with a set of values. We learn them somewhere. We know right from wrong because someone taught us the difference. Also, I asked who was MORE responsible as I clearly do not give the person a pass.
Unadulterated evil, all of them. How fortunate to have met such a civilised death.
What is your accent @TheUntoldPast? I like your videos very much, but I also like accents, and I cannot quite place it. Computer generated? But even if so, what accent?
Unfortunately such regimes are never understaffed. There are always people whom love to inflict suffering & pain on others. When regimes offer no outlet for this, serial killers start.
I believe this guy's execution was on you tube..the way they executed him was kinda weird..they had him lay down at a 45° angle on this contraption that slid on a pole, with the noose around his neck,their was a soldier standing close to him with both arms around him as if to guide him down,. Then all of sudden The guy pulled the lever and he slid down the pole about the same length as his body height..it was quick and efficient..I will never forget that execution,thnx KZhead algorithm for sending that my way.
Indeed weird. But Amon Goeth's hanging was almost as weird.
Known as the Austro-Hungarian "pole" method, called Würgegalgen (literally: strangling gallows). Taken to the gallows, which Is a pole with a large hook at the top. The condemed then has a strap placed around the waist and Is hoisted to the underneath of the hook. The executioner then places a thin rope (which Is attached to the hook) around the neck. The executioner then pulls the condemed down, by the head, In a rapid downward jerk. It's a terrible way to execute someone, but this guy deserved no mercy. All those murdered on his orders, shocking crimes...Remember Lidice!!!
You can see him moving about a few seconds after the execution. But the hangman hold him so he can't move. Wonder if it was a quick death?
kzhead.info/sun/rcizndSqpnN9gWg/bejne.html
The film of this execution is or at least was available on KZhead.
m.kzhead.info/sun/Y9ylYrihhZ5qnWw/bejne.html
Seen it, Enjoyed it.
Acts 21:31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. Acts 21:32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. Acts 21:33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. Acts 21:34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. Acts 21:35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people. Acts 21:36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
His death was no great loss to humanity, that's for sure. Shame that he could only die once.
During WW2 the Germans published many books about the 1930s Russian Communists crimes committed by the Soviet leadership in Ukraine against ordinary Ukranians. The Germans published names and ethnicity of the Soviet criminals and their helpers. Those books are not available now.
Maybe so, but after the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact to divide Poland between USSR and Nazi Germany, and after the Germans genocidal practices, any German books about communist crimes are laughable.
Such terrible times but I think we must see them and heed their warnings as to what can happen 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Sad capter of history? Many greetings to your Chamberlain and Daladier...
Oh yea everbody else is guilty, just not hitler and the nazis
@@joachim5080 Czechs welcomed Germans into their land by laying down their weapons. That's a fact! Even Czechs wanted the original plan to happen: Letting German go to the East, fight the Soviets and bleed each other out dry. Every western power and all Europe's plan was that: German-Soviet war. Molotov-Ribbentrop ruined their calculations.

He had the honor chevron on right sleeve. He joined ss before 1933, this execution is online or at least it was at one time along with SS Kurt Daleuge in the same fashion
Yes, several yearsago I saw pictures as he was being hung/ hanged.
Heydrich routinely referred to Daluege as "dummi, dummi". He wasn't very bright according to everything I've studied, but he did reach the rank of Oberstgruppenfurhrer. I think there were only three to ever reach that rank.
Told endlessly on the History Channel. "Justified"- who on Earth quarrels with that?
You'd be surprised. For one, holocaust deniers.
There is also the execution of Sophie Scholl in this series, so I guess they adjusted the title as not to get fighters against the Nazi regime mistaken for criminals and criminals mistaken for heroes if one just skips through, just reads the titles and doesn't watch the videos.

Cause of death, hanging. Narrator: An autopsy was performed on the body. The premise of an autopsy is to determine cause of death. Lol.
Frank's execution is covered graphically on KZhead. He was strangled by the gallows and a guard had to keep his eyes from popping out of their sockets.
@@pauldh62 It was routine for the guard/executioner to use his fingers to close the eyes of his victim as the rope tightened: no eyes popped out.
Here in Alabama after executions, autopsies are performed. I never understood that either.
What's interesting about this series is that you are showing the history of many of the lesser known scumbags who deserved what they got. You should have shown the footage of his execution as it is available.

This nazi was a monster, but nothing compared to Heydrich, Heydrich was the worst of them all.
It's funny that Heydrich actually wanted Fegelein investigated for his actions. Himmler said no and told him to drop it. Heydrich ended up dead because of an infection caused by the horse hair used in his car.

@@cw6983 Woops. You got the wrong guy. Trump was the bigger problem, obviously. I mean, I know you guys never really have good politicians, Democratic or Republican, but get real.
It's happening now here
Here's an interesting thought. Could Frank have been aware of the plot to assassinate Heydrich? Would have made sense to allow that to happen. Removes Heydrich so his job is once again open AND allows him free rein in executing mass murder, something he was especially good at.
@Jamis Billson well, I guess I'm scum then. Might as well be. According to Hillary Clinton, I'm also deplorable, so there's that. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a Trump supporter. As a rule, I don't support people, only policies. All politicians are corrupt, so to support any of them, you're bound to be disappointed.
@Jamis Billson I can't speak intelligently to the politics of either party in the UK other than to know that Torries are conservatives and Labour is the liberals. I have enough to deal with just deciphering the nuances of US politics. I do think Brexit was the way to go. More importantly, so did the majority of people who voted for it. I don't understand why any sovereign nation would be OK with a collective body dictating what their economic policy needs to be. Not only that, as a member of the Eurozone, you are contributing to the bailout of fiscally irresponsible member states like Greece, Italy and Portugal. That's a drag on Britain's economy. As far as conservatives being only for the rich, I'm not sure how things work in the UK, but here in the States things worked out pretty well for me, and most others, after Trump was elected president. In 2016, I was unemployed due to layoffs resulting from the Obama economy. I'm far from rich, and things were getting pretty desperate. By March of 2017 jobs were becoming plentiful, and I found employment at a salary higher than I was making before I got laid off. I also benefited from his income tax cuts. You probably don't know this, but under Trump, unemployment fell to it's lowest levels since the 1960s and black and Hispanic unemployment fell to record lows. Economic growth, which Obama told us would never exceed 2% in our lifetime rose to over 3%. The fast tracking of the Coronavirus vaccine, that was his initiative. No matter what he may or may not have said about the virus (he's not a doctor after all), it cannot be denied that he knocked down the majority of red tape required to get a vaccine approved. Yes, Trump is a vile, disgusting, misogynistic human being, but fortunately, that does not disqualify someone from being president. Sometimes it's necessary to be a bull in a China ship (excuse the American idiom) to get things done.

@@kevinh5349, You may also add a huge part of the Lithuanian peasant population at that time to your list. If the matter of any Lithuanian participation with the Germans in the "Holocaust of bullet's" is brought before a court nowadays in Lithuania, the Litigants are than charged with purgery if they cannot provide compelling evidence of the Lithuanian atrocities and then they themselves subsequently risk being incarcerated, so nothing can be done.
@@kevinh5349 very true. The death camps were mostly Guarded by Ukrainian or Belorussian and others.
@@waynejensen4150 yes. Very disturbing. Although any that were caught by the Soviets were most Likely executed?
The German synchronised motorcycle display team in action there at the start! 🤣🤣🤣. All joking aside though the Nazi's got their deserved comeuppance, well most of them.
actually very few of them
@Ivana Notyers ...YOU'RE FORGETTING THAT GERMANY WAS IN RUINS FOR A HECK OF A LONG TIME- AND GERMANY WAS DIVIDED FOR OVER 40 YEARS!!! THE GERMANS CERTAINLY DIDN'T GET OFF SCOT FREE-!!!
Weldone!
Those murderers who could no be caught and therefore did not receive justice, God Will condemned them...
Looking at him, you can see why he'd hate an attractive Jewish man.
German Empire ceased to exist in 1918 so it couldn't take over Sudetenland.
At the Nuremberg war crimes commission they estimated that 11 million Germans could be classified as war criminals. Thats how many should have been hung!
@@mikeoz4803 Agreed !
Interesting little clip of the sign saying "Peace In Our Time", only Neville Chamberlain never said that. What he did say was " Peacd FOR Our Time". Likely the most misquoted phrase in history.
I don't like violence of any kind, against any one. Violece is horrible.
Why did they give him an autopsy haha, I think the cause of death would have been obvious!
They wanted to analyse the brain for abnormalities.
Bureaucracy
If he wasn’t dead before he certainly was after.
Death by hanging from a pole was slow and agonizing! A fitting one, I think.
Not so much for him. I heard in some document that war criminals were dropped from height and it snapped their necks and they died instantly. After the communist coup, the commies hanged people with lower drop and they died slowly. Many of these people were completely innocent besides being enemies of the regime. I am a Czech and I am interested in history of my country.
His execution is on KZhead and he died almost immediately, something I am sure most of his thousands of victims didn't experience in their shockingly unjustified and monstrous murders by this thug tyrant.
Actually no, it caused almost immediate unconsciousness from pressure against the carotid artery, using a thin noose. It was the method used in the Austro-Hungarian empire before, of which Czechoslovakia had been a part.
On the contrary, Frank’s video of his execution shows it is surprising quick causing almost instantaneous death. Too easy for this piece of Nazi garbage.
@@simonh6371 ok. I dont have medical education. So thanks for the explanation. But point is the same, I believe. People executed 45-48, real war criminals died immediately and did not suffer. People after communist coup of 48 died often much more painful death when hanged.
The British hangmen where quick and efficient resulting in instantaneous death. However, I’ve read some accounts of the US executioners botching lots of them. Some where still faintly breathing and twitching when put in the coffins and buried. They may have awoken with badly swollen necks , half conscious and delirious whilst suffocating underground. Some Nazis adhered to a strange form of Teutonic , muscular Christianity which when faced with their crimes went to the scaffold , albeit dignified , but privately in terror because they knew they where going to Hell.
Those nazis are not even adherents of Christianity or representation of German Teutonic nobility.. they even created their own religion called "Positives Christentum" which promotes the racial purity of German people.
The day will come when wars belong to the to the past.. Isaiah 2:4 states: "He (Jehovah God) will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore." Micah 4:3 reinforces the same promise: "He will render judgment among many peoples and set matters straight respecting mighty nations far away. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore." Will this take place soon?
We can but hope 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@gonefishing167 The person who is asking this promise is the God all mighty; and what He promises, He fulfills as stated in Isaiah 55:11: "So my word that goes out of my mouth will be. It will not return to me without results, But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight, And it will have sure success in what I send it to do."
@@gonefishing167 Please have in mind the the Almighty God Jehovah does not lie, according to: Numbers 23:19: "God is not a mere man who tells lies, Nor a son of man who changes his mind. When he says something, will he not do it? When he speaks, will he not carry it out?" Titus 1:2: "... and is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago... Hebrews 6:18: "... this same way, when God decided to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, in order that through two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to the refuge may have strong encouragement to take firm hold of the hope set before us"

That name is very interesting, mt herrmann is where the fallen angels came to earth, karl like karl Marx, and Frank, every one I have ever met named frank,FRANKLIN, frances, or Francois have been complete arse holes
Including my father, maternal grand FATHER , and others!
Benjamin Franklin and Anne Frank,?
What did FDR do that was so bad?
I have a friend called Frankie and he is an absolute gent, so I think your theory is rubbish.
what about the Frank family..you know Anne Frank
Another monster of evil is removed, not fit to live as a human.
Frank died a lot quicker than all of his victims ..the professional Check hang men, who hung him, ended his life almost immediately...therefore treating a cruel monster a Hella lot better than he did when he terrorised a whole nation.
@5:00 He wasn't assassinated in Prague. He was attacked there and died a week later. Get your facts straight.
His cod was blood poisoning from the fabric of the seat in the car he was in but alot of people think Himmler had him poisoned because of how powerful he was becoming.
@@jeffreyval9665 Funny...
@@4fit816 when the machine gin jammed the other guy threw a bomb and fabric from the seat of the car supposedly gave him the blood poisoning. I'm just saying alot of people think Himmler had him poisoned. Himmler was a very jealous evil guy who knows what really happened.
The execution of murderers is always justified (or never justified).

Or maybe justified

I have zero pity for Karl Hermann Frank or for Kurt Daluege.
If The Untold Past was my History Teacher back in the day, I would’ve gotten an “A”. But back in 1988, I had the worst, most boring teacher ever.
You were probably busy day dreaming about which "new kids on the block" member you were going to marry....like all the other girls. Paula Abdul was my unrealistic music video crush but I didnt like her music.. I was to busy trying to figure out if her mole was real or fake or if they where flipping the film negative around because sometimes it would be on the left....sometimes on the right.....who needs to know about world history when there are more pressing issues....i never did figure out the answer to the question regarding the mole on her face.....i got my first eazy-e cassette tape in 1990 and from then on i was enthralled with explicit lyrics.....before the eazy -e tape i had a 2livecrew tape but "me wasnt so horny" in the 5th grade and so "me did not love them long time" ...they were not gangster enough for a white kid from Indiana like me.
@@davy1458 You made me laugh! Even though I was “preppy” back in the day, I didn’t like NKOTB. I was into more alt music, metal and grunge.

It will fall to us to pull man kind from the ashes and rebuild the world....we are the grand kids of the greatest generation who fought world war 2.....we were taught survival skill we weren't even aware were for our survival....we didnt need airbag or seat belts because we are so tough....just like the song says :we are the world, we are the children, we are here to make a brighter day.".....the song did mention a single word about these millennial ass holes....they were leaving us a secret message and we didnt even realize it till now.

And the Irish prime minister of Ireland Eamon Develera former Sinn Fein gave his condolences to Nazi Germany people on Hitlers death.
And the British government resettled in Britain, four thousand Nazi war criminals who had committed appalling atrocities in Ukraine, homes, jobs and a future were given to these murderers in exchange for information about the Soviet Union. Check out my story on You Tube or just read your history book.
I once read a book called holocaust and it was two diarys...once from a Nazi ss officer who was a lawyer named Eric dorff....and the other a diary from a young man in a Jewish family....cant recall what happened to the Nazi but the Jewish guy lived....thankfully....I always wondered what happened to the Nazi...in his diary he had discussed working with rienhard heydrick until his death and then under boarman I think.
Plus jamais ça 🌹🙏
Does anybody else see the similarities of the beginnings of the ss to what is happening today?
Unfortunately, yes.
What is happening today?
It’s been many years since I expected commentators (people who post comments and replies) meet reasonable standards of intelligence, morality and the ability to understand the multi-faceted sides of any story. The opportunity to reply is too often taken to espouse personal prejudices, political positions and untruths. This is an excellent video although the question about whether any execution is justified is surely based upon moral and religious grounds. The idea of an eye-for-an- eye is not often followed these days and, possibly most extremely in hardline Islamic areas/states. That Frank was an unalterably evil man who gave up any right to determine the course of his own life. Justified to execute him? Surely a personal question to which everyone is entitled to their own answer. Would I,poisoning him for his life have been more fitting? Why should a state pay to keep him in a prison? The retaliations against the death of Heydrich were, indeed, dreadful. It must go without saying that they were totally, totally unjustified and their legacy remains today. Is it correct that the Allies were aware that the killing of Heydrich would bring about massive retaliations? Quite possibly not on the scale that happened but reprisals against killed Nazis were commonplace. What was the logic, the thought process of the Allies, presumably that included the Czech government in exile, that determined the death of Heydrich was so so important that it justified the likelihood of the killing in reprisal of innocents? I don’t know the answers to these questions. Perhaps the author of this piece, or someone like Dr. Mark Felton, can provide some insight.
Maybe the killing of Heiydrich brought bad reprisals but I bet it also put fear in the hearts of other murderous Nazis. In the long run perhaps it made them refrain from as much terror, knowing that swift justice, by rote of assassination, could be their fate.

Are the two executioners behind the post pulling on a rope attached to his feet when he begins raising his arm? Like, to squeeze the life out of him? Looks like his legs are stretching at that part, that’s what leads me to believe that. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.
