Hitler executed 84 German Generals. The 14 important Generals
Nobody escaped the regime of Hitler, even those who served under him. Hitler executed 84 German Generals for various reasons like:
1. The commander of the German Home Army, General Friedrich Fromm, is shot by a firing squad for his part in the July plot to assassinate the Fuhrer.
2. Ludwig Beck was in the custody of General Friedrich Fromm, and he offered to commit suicide (“accept the consequences”). His last words were “I am thinking of earlier times.” Beck then shot himself. In severe distress, Beck succeeded only in severely wounding himself, and a sergeant was brought in to administer the coup de grace by shooting Beck in the back of the neck.
3. Job Wilhelm Georg Erdmann Erwin von Witzleben was put to death that same day at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin. By Hitler’s positive orders, he was strangled with piano wire which had been wound around a meat hook, and the execution was filmed.
4. Erwin Rommel was linked to the conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Because Rommel was a national hero, Hitler desired to eliminate him quietly. He forced Rommel to commit suicide with a cyanide pill, in return for assurances that Rommel’s family would not be persecuted following his death. Rommel died age 52 on 14-10-1944. He was given a state funeral, and it was announced that Rommel had succumbed to his injuries from an earlier strafing of his staff car in Normandy.
5. General Erich Hoepner was implicated in the failed 20 July Plot against Adolf Hitler and executed, age 27 on 08-08-1944.
6. General Fritz Erich Fellgiebel also a conspirator in the 20-07-Plot to assassinate the dictator Hitler. On 10 August 1944, he was found guilty by Roland Freisler and sentenced to death. He was executed, age 57, on 04-09-1944 at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin.
7. General Karl von Hase he was sentenced to death and hanged later the same day 08-08-1944, age 59, at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin. General der Flieger, Bernhard Waber condemned to death for mismanagement and hanged in the Spandau Prison, age 60 on 06-02-1945.
8. Generalleutnant Hermann Becker arrested and court marshalled on 01-12-1944 for impairing defence capabilities and condemned to death, loss of the honour to serve in the defence of the country, executed by firing squad, age 60 on 06-02-1945.
9. General Friedrich von Rabenau was arrested in the aftermath of the plot which culminated in the attempt on Hitler’s life on July 20 1944. On 15-04-1945, without having been charged or tried.
10. General von Rabenau, one of the last inmates remaining in the Flossenburg concentration camp was shot on the specific orders of Himmler, age 60 on 15-04-1945.
11. General Major Otto Herfurt arrested 14-08-1944 in Berlin, sentenced to death 09-09-1944 by order of the People’s Court and executed 09-09-1944, age 51, in Berlin-Plötzensee.

Trial and Execution of General Anton Dostler w/Musical Score (REAL)
Narrative of events:
On March 22, 1944, fifteen men of the U.S. Army (including two officers) landed on the Italian coast about 100 kilometres north of La Spezia, 250 miles behind the then established front. Their mission was to demolish a railroad tunnel between La Spezia and Genoa. Two days later, the group was captured by a party of Italian Fascist soldiers and members of the German army. They were taken to La Spezia, where they were confined near the headquarters of the 135th Fortress Brigade, which was under the command of German Colonel Almers. The immediately superior headquarters was that of the 75th German Army Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Dostler.
The uniformed captured U.S. soldiers were interrogated and one of the U.S. officers revealed the story of the mission. This information was then sent to Dostler at the 75th German Army Corps.
The following day (March 25), Dostler sent a telegram to the 135th Fortress Brigade ordering that the captured soldiers be executed. Recognizing that the order was harsh officers at the 135th Fortress Brigade contacted Dostler in an attempt to achieve a stay of execution. Dostler then sent another telegram ordering Colonel Almers to carry out the execution. Two last attempts were made by the officers at the 135th, including some by telephone. These efforts were unsuccessful and the fifteen Americans were executed on the morning of March 26, 1944. Major Alexander zu Dohna-Schlobitten, refused to sign the order of execution, and was summarily dismissed from the Wehrmacht (German Army) service because of his insubordination.
In the first Allied war crimes trial, Dostler was accused of carrying out an illegal order, while Dostler maintained that he did not issue the order, but only passed along an order to Colonel Almers from German Supreme Command. The trial was very controversial even for that time, and helped set the stage for the Nurenberg Trials, in that an illegal order does not and should not be obeyed.
General Anton Dostler was tried before an American War Crimes tribunal for his order that resulted in the execution.
The General's own aide testified against him and stated that he had begged the general not to issue the order of execution of the American soldiers.
General Dostler was duly charged and tried by the Court.
General Dostler was provided counsel, translators was able to call witnesses in his defense as well as enter evidence.
Upon his conviction, General Dostler was sentenced to death by firing squad.
General Dostler was afforded the opportunity to appeal and did so.
His appeal denied, General Dostler was duly executed on 1 December, 1945 in Aversa, Italy, near Naples.
The firing squad conducted themselves in an exemplary manner, and with military precision, as did all members of the execution detail as evidenced by the official footage.
In addition, General Dostler was provided an American Army Chaplain to accompany him to the firing post as well as a German Army POW Chaplain in his last hours. The execution was conducted with humility and somberness.
Lastly, General Dostler was provided a proper burial. Seems he faired far better than the American soldiers that he ordered the execution of.
The execution was photographed on black and white still and movie cameras.

EXPLORING NUREMBERG, GERMANY'S most historic city, what to see, top sites to visit
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit Nuremberg (Nürnberg), Bavaria’s second-largest city and the unofficial capital of Franconia, which is an energetic place where the nightlife is intense and the beer is as dark as coffee. As one of Bavaria’s biggest draws it is alive with visitors year-round, but especially during the spectacular Christmas market.
For centuries, Nuremberg was the undeclared capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the preferred residence of most German kings, who kept their crown jewels here. Rich and stuffed with architectural wonders, it was also a magnet for famous artists, though the most famous of all, Albrecht Dürer, was actually born here. ‘Nuremberg shines throughout Germany like a sun among the moon and stars,’ gushed Martin Luther. By the 19th century, the city had become a powerhouse in Germany’s industrial revolution.
The Nazis saw a perfect stage for their activities in working class Nuremberg. It was here that the fanatical party rallies were held, the boycott of Jewish businesses began and the infamous Nuremberg Laws outlawing German citizenship for Jewish people were enacted. On 2 January 1945, Allied bombers reduced the city to landfill, killing 6000 people in the process.
After WWII the city was chosen as the site of the war crimes tribunal, now known as the Nuremberg Trials. Later, the painstaking reconstruction – using the original stone – of almost all the city’s main buildings, including the castle and old churches in the Altstadt, returned the city to some of its former glory.
Germany is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain ranges and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its capital, is home to art and nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for its Oktoberfest and beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its skyscrapers, houses the European Central Bank.

City Tour Nürnberg, Bavaria - South Germany
A new video - City Tour Nürnberg, Bavaria - South Germany
Nuremberg (/ˈnjʊərəmbɜːrɡ/; German: Nürnberg; pronounced [ˈnʏɐ̯nbɛɐ̯k] ( listen)[2]) is a city on the river Pegnitz and the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal in the German state of Bavaria, in the administrative region of Middle Franconia, about 170 kilometres (110 mi) north of Munich. It is the second-largest city in Bavaria (after Munich), and the largest in Franconia (Franken). The population as of February 2015, is 517,498, which makes it Germany's fourteenth-largest city. The urban area also includes Fürth, Erlangen and Schwabach with a total population of 763,854. The European Metropolitan Area Nuremberg has ca. 3.5 million inhabitants.
Nuremberg was, according to the first documentary mention of the city in 1050, the location of an Imperial castle between the East Franks and the Bavarian March of the Nordgau.[4] From 1050 to 1571, the city expanded and rose dramatically in importance due to its location on key trade routes. King Conrad III established a burgraviate, with the first burgraves coming from the Austrian House of Raab but, with the extinction of their male line around 1190, the burgraviate was inherited by the last count's son-in-law, of the House of Hohenzollern. From the late 12th century to the Interregnum (1254–73), however, the power of the burgraves diminished as the Hohenstaufen emperors transferred most non-military powers to a castellan, with the city administration and the municipal courts handed over to an Imperial mayor (German: Reichsschultheiß) from 1173/74.[4][5] The strained relations between the burgraves and the castellan, with gradual transferral of powers to the latter in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, finally broke out into open enmity, which greatly influenced the history of the city.[5]
The Imperial Castle
Nuremberg is often referred to as having been the 'unofficial capital' of the Holy Roman Empire, particularly because Imperial Diet (Reichstag) and courts met at Nuremberg Castle. The Diets of Nuremberg were an important part of the administrative structure of the empire. The increasing demand of the royal court and the increasing importance of the city attracted increased trade and commerce to Nuremberg. In 1219, Frederick II granted the Großen Freiheitsbrief (Great Letter of Freedom), including town rights, Imperial immediacy (Reichsfreiheit), the privilege to mint coins, and an independent customs policy, almost wholly removing the city from the purview of the burgraves.[4][5] Nuremberg soon became, with Augsburg, one of the two great trade centers on the route from Italy to Northern Europe.

Germany: Hitler's watercolours up for auction in Nuremberg
Fourteen original artworks painted by erstwhile leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler were on show in Nuremberg, Tuesday, as the city's Weidler auctioneers prepare to put the pictures up for sale later this month.
The watercolours and drawings, dating from 1904 to 1922, are set to go under the hammer between June 18 and 20, and are estimated to fetch between €1,000 and €45,000 ($1,128-50,700) each. The pictures include what critics have called 'mediocre' depictions of flowers and rural German and Austrian scenery, including a painting of European King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. Hitler, who long held dreams of becoming an artist, was rejected from Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts in 1907, as he recounts in his autobiography 'Mein Kampf'.

Places to see in ( Nuremberg - Germany ) Altstadt
The old town of Nuremberg is situated below the hill of Nuremberg castle and is divided in half by the river Pegnitz. The part of the old town south of the river is called the Lorenzer Altstadt while the northern part is called Sebalder Altstadt. The names are derived from the largest churches in each of the sections.
Nuremberg's old town is divided by the river Pegnitz. The northern half is called Sebalder Alstadt, the southern Lorenzer Altstadt. The castle dominates the north-western corner of Nuremberg's old town. In the west (on the right, when coming from the city) the castle starts with Luginsland tower. Between it and the five-cornered tower is the Kaiserstallung. It was built in 1495 in only one year and served originally as a storehouse for grain. Today it is used as a youth hostel. The five-cornered tower was constructed before 1050 and is the oldest building of the castle and city.
Originally Nuremberg's city wall had a length of five kilometers and five gates: Laufer, Spittler-, Frauen-, Neu- und Tiergärtner Tor. From the 13th to the 16th century the wall was continuously strengthened and is one of the reasons why the city withstood all attacks during this time. Nearly four kilometers of the wall are still standing.
he street Fuell with its sand stone houses is a typical merchant's street. The craftsmen lived in timber-framed houses, many of which have been restored in Weissgerbergasse. More timber-framed houses can be seen in Obere and Untere Kraemersgasse. In Untere Kraemersgasse 16 you can often look into the tiny courtyard.
For many hundreds of years, the sandstone bedrock of Nuremberg's castle hill has been riddled with vaulted cellars and secret passageways. Rock-Cut Beer Cellars, Casemates, Water Supply Conduits. The total square footage today known 20.000 m2.

Ludwig STORY'S (PART 9)Nürnberg new people
Nuremberg, the former Nazi bastion
Since 1906 a park named Luitpoldhain, named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria. In 1933 Hitler replaced the park with a strictly-structured deployment area, the so-called Luitpoldarena with an area of 84,000 m². During the party rallies, deployments of the SA and the SS with up to 150,000 people took place in this area.
The Congress Hall (Kongresshalle) is the biggest preserved national socialist monumental building and is landmarked. It was planned by the Nuremberg architects Ludwig and Franz Ruff. It was intended to serve as a congress centre for the NSDAP with a self-supporting roof and would have provided 50,000 seats.
The Zeppelinfeld is located east of the Great Road. It consists of a large grandstand (Zeppelinhaupttribüne) with a width of 360 metres (390 yards). It was one of Albert Speer's first works for the Nazi party.
