HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- Erich Hoepner was born on the 14th of September 1886 in Frankfurt an der Oder, then part of the German Empire.
When the First World War broke out on 28 July 1914, he was deployed to the Western Front as a company commander and staff officer. Hoepner was promoted to Captain of Cavalry and by the time the war ended on 11 November 1918, he was decorated several times, including the Iron Cross First and Second Class.
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party came into power in 1933.

![MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - KOMBAT PACK 2 REVEAL TRAILER!! [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mi2M58zEQVc/mqdefault.jpg)
I have to disagree. he cared for his men, hated Hitler, was never a Nazi and was decent to prisoners and civilians. Its a difficult one, whilst I may not shed a tear i would not class him in the same category as the rest of the degenerates we usually learn of.
He was Brutal to Russian Civilians and POW's
In my opinion all wars great, small or so-so are by their very nature genocidal. He at least had the balls to not take the suicide option but his family suffered (unlike Rommel who committed suicide to save his wife and son). I agree with your thoughts Dave Wilson
@@lynnesorensen7083 Obviously you did not read his CV. I have! In the Russian Records and in Nuremburg, where his name came up Dozens of times, he acted Brutally with no qualms giving orders to Kill POW's and Women and Children alike, he was opposed to Hitler but was a Jew Hater ! You say all Wars are Genocidal by their very Nature, that is not Correct, the First War was not Genocidal, the English Civil War was not Genocidal, the War against Napoleon was not Genocidal, similar the Franco German War and Hundreds of others, you cannot compare what the Nazi's undertook in the Soviet Union and the Holocaust itself.
Maybe 'there were no tears shed' because his family was killed in the concentration camp after he was arrested for being a decent soldier?
Hoepner ordered atrocities during the invasion of Russia that surpassed even the SS at the time. He turned against Hitler because Nazi Germany was losing the war.
Micropops,
the Eastern front was a wholely different war where no-holds-barred rules
did apply :
‘dolf’s directives
that vulturetail
Awfoul-Joe’s directives.
General Hoepner, given his hatred of the ss & gestapo in his own country must have found the nkvd political kommissars
of exactly the same ilk, & more than heartily carried out his orders.
I would think his wife and sister mourned his passing.
Did they survive Ravensbruk?
Were they aware of his atrocities?
Great content, since I discovered this channel never missed a single video. Congrats for the great work; and let's never forget the past so we can never allow it to happen again.
Thank you
Heopner was "brutal"? How was he brutal when he probably did more to uphold standards of decency than most people there at the time?
He ordered atrocities during the invasion of Russia that surpassed even the SS at the time. He turned against Hitler because Nazi Germany was losing the war.
I am going to look In some of my history books if can find anything more about this guy ( Erich Hoepner ) I am wondering how mean he was or nice he was. It is to bad " Operation Valkyrie Failed ".
Hitler was Germany’s Shirt of Nessus put on willingly.
When it began to burn 🔥 her skin, Germania tried to shed it off. It teared at her skin & flesh to the bone 🦴
Today anutter nation had it dawned on her too, that the Shirt she had put on is the Shirt of Nessus.
He ran out of adjectives
He was incriminated for war crimes.
Did his family survive the concentration camps ?
From my understanding, they were supposedly all killed in a gas chamber literally after a few days after his death.
You are addicted in using the word "brutal" for some odd reason.
Because it is a marketing tool "brutal" to get RUclips viewers' attention to have more viewers for the videos that I think.
All warfare is Brutal.
@@jonathannixon8652 so?
A brutally judgemental comment. ❤
@@rons4297 explain before you complain.
So many unfortunate errors in this doco, and important material left out. For example, in 1938 he was Claus von Stauffenberg’s commanding officer, and knew him well. Hoepner was designated head of the Home Army while the coup was in progress, to replace the uncooperative General Fromm. Hoepner was not arrested at his home, but at Home Army headquarters - the Bendlerblock. No piano wire was used, nor was this term used. It is the result of a mistranslation. Witnesses state that in most cases death came quickly. Hoepner was a longstanding opponent of the Nazis, and many mourned his death.
Stuaffenberg and HOepner were the cool Nazis, I wouldn't mind palling around with them.
I'm amazed at the Restoration, and Colorizing you do on these films! It makes the impact even stronger.
Lots of problems with program .
Care to elaborate on that claim?
Interesting Video, Thanks for posting. 👍
Thanks for watching. Greetings
I wouldn't regard him as brutal; he was loyal to his troops and wasn't an ardent Nazi. Rather unfair.
And murdered soldiers and innocents in cold blood in the Soviet Union
I think you missed the part that talked about his treatment toward Russians. 🤔 He may have been less bad than others. But still bad.
@@danij5055 It was a brutal war, on the eastern front. The Soviets were equally as nasty.
@@MrNaKillshots Okay. That doesn't make him not brutal. 🤔 You do know that both sides can be brutal. Even if one is less brutal than the other, they can still be brutal. Him being those things you said and him being brutal are not mutually exclusive.
"There where no tears shed on Erich Heopner "...The dumbest sentence of this channel.
The video didn't describe any criminal behave of Haepner... But just the opposite. The man was a professional soldier in the German army, did not belong to the Nazi party, hated the SS soldiers... Why the negative attitude towards him? And he even try to kill Hitler (Or at least he was charged about that).
If you researched the history of this criminal, you would know why he doesn't deserve tears.
But you are very lazy.
@@williamberkowitz9388he is fcukn lazy 😅
This video talked about his treatment toward Russians. I think you missed that 🤔 He may have been less bad than others. But still bad.
It’s too bad that Chamberlain and the Brits didn’t know about the Oster plan! It could have all been so different!
Hate click bait, would have watched it anyway without the misleading caption.
Great video and amazing photo coloring. Good work. The quality of your historical documentaries keeps increasing! 👍
as always amazing video, thank you ♥
Thank you
Hoepner was a member of the German resistance and took part in the 20 July plot of 1944
Resistance I don’t think is the correct word. Soldier who wanted to save Germany from poor leadership.
@@nordlandak6853 resisting a dictatorial regime makes you a member of a resistance movement. That is by definition.
@@leonardomafrareina7634 except he wasn’t against dictators just that dictator.
@@nordlandak6853 maybe, but it is still a resistance. The Yugoslavian resistance was against German occupation, but not against a communist dictatorship, and still are called resistance.
He had a family
Wait a minute. I thought Erich Hoepner was a good guy. THERE WERE TEARS shed for Erich Hoepner.
He was less bad than others. But still bad.
With each passing story the history gets more grim. Surprised anyone managed to survive, anyway!
"Brutal" General? What a load of utter garbage. Get Real.
This video talked about his treatment toward Russians. I think you missed that 🤔 He may have been less bad than others. But still bad.
Why is it that you can make a video about a dude who literally wanted to get rid of hitler, never joined the nazi party, hated the SS, had his family thrown in concentration camps and still somehow go “ThErE wErE nO tEaRs ShEd FoR…”
Your videos are getting too rinse and repeat, not to mention that most people would agree that you got the ending wrong… again
One remark: Get the facts right, will You.
Finns, did fight against Russians, and Russians alone!
They fought in Kaukasus and Eastern front. Not against Baltic States!
Do not insult Finns, they went to Germany, only to fight Russians, and that was because not a single nation, provided Finland with weapons, just as today, with Ukraine!
Wake up, this is the same scenario, as back in WW2. Get real, or the Ruzzians will "knock", on other European doors, soon.
from a Finn in Diaspora, just by that reason
I believe it is the Caucasus.
@@timrrrr1401 Tomatoes or Tomatoes! What`s the point, You seem to know where this was. Have a Nice Day.
@@outsider7658 I think the point is obvious, try to find "Kaukasus" on ANY MAP. For someone whose opening statement was " get the facts right will you." this seems important. Oh.....and in your reply "Tomatoes or Tomatoes" are the same thing. And last, relax.....this was not personal, I was trying to be helpful.
@@timrrrr1401 😏 Likewise, let`s not get too serious. As said: Have a Good One.
"not a single nation, provided Finland with weapons, just as today, with Ukraine!"
Uh, American here 🙋 I would like to have a word about that point. It's been contentious among Americans just how MUCH is being given to help Ukraine. So I don't know what you're talking about there. 🤔
Listening to this on 10 May, the day "BATTLE OF FRANCE" started...
For the first time I disliked a video on this channel. “No tears were shed” is starting to annoy me so be. Since he was a German in WW2 he automatically is a despicable war criminal, someone to be hated? Even if he did nothing wrong and tried to keep humanity, honour and respect in the war? This is just bloody awful.

Hoepner saw bosom-buddy similarity of nkvd commissars with geheime-staat-polizei of the ss & dispatched them as he would like to do to the ss of his own country.
His open contempt for the ss didn’t sit him well after July 20th ‘44
If you researched the history of this criminal, you would know why he doesn't deserve tears.
But you are very lazy.
@@williamberkowitz9388 Vot r u talkink abouut?
Does anyone in the West see similarities to our present US government? Or am I imagining it?
Not even close.
@@djquinn11true. In the US we are experiencing what is known as soft
Tyranny. Two tier justice system, and using the power of the government to attack political opponents is how it begins.
If you are alluding to what Donald J Trump wished he could do, yes, I see them.
If you're alluding to what the Dem's are doing to Trump, yes indeed
Current States Gov is worse, they have a senile Puppet as president & he's constantly speaking mumbo-jumbo
For constantly deleting a certain comment I posted in the comments section, I've sent a complaint to you Tube and sent an email to your contact address and voted down this video
There are plenty of tears
what a sad story inside Germany in WW2
5:58 I'd like to see the evidence behind this POW mismanagement after Dunkirk.
For as far as I've read and heard, the German army (disregarding the SS) were very respectful and professional to captured western allied POWs since all sides were signatories of the Geneva Accords.
I know the Germans rendered aid as best as they could considering their overstretched logistical situation.
Not so much to the French colonial troops, but I wouldn't consider them "large numbers", for as tragic as their treatment was.
This perplexes me.
I disagree with the" no tears" comment.
Every German is brutal by definition.
It seems from your own video that this "Brutal German NAZI General" was neither brutal nor a Nazi.
Good evening, and again, Thank You for these Important, Informative, and Excellent videos.
This guys voice totally pisses me off. All dramatics
Yep! Them pesky Natsies!
To each their own. I find the voice perfect for the content. And not at all overly dramatic.
His voice reminds me of Squidward
Turn it off?
Please learn from history.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Brutal???? You like that word hey?
Do you really need to tell us when WW 2 started, every time you make one of your videos. To me, you are given to over emphasis. Other than that, you do give out informative videos.
You might be very surprised how many Americans under age 55 have no idea when WWII started. And, they can't assume that whoever watches one of their videos is going to watch every single one. I just go with it.
What's the big deal?
Every video is someone's first. These are stand alone videos. So yes.
Is the voice sounds odd is it human 😂
👍👍👍
I have mixed feelings about many of the July plotters. I have nothing but admiration for those who tried to stop Hitler from the very beginning of hic Chancellorship, and the religious circles who spoke out against him from the beginning. But it seems like there were some who turned to the anti-Hitler brigade only once it was clear Germany was losing the war. I might put Hoepner in that category...
He was a general in the army and obliged to carry out his orders within the framework of the Geneva Convention. His murder of Commissars indicates he had a dislike of communism and Judaism. Collaboration in crimes against humanity were obfuscated by who the perpetrators were. It was obvious he had a military attitude and approved of war for war’s sake because it would make Germany greater. However he sowed the seed and reaped the whirlwind that the Russian response was to occupation and operation Barbarossa.
SS Totenkopf were not at all a part of the Waffen SS they were the SS branch which managed concentration camps.
So, Totenkopf were noit in war at all.
SS had 3 branches, Totenkopf (camps(, Waffen SS (army branch), and Algemaine SS (the "black" ones, whuich standed infront of govermnment buildings etc)
Have you got a speech impediment?
Seems like clickbait in the form of slander to refer to this man as "brutal"...
If the channel was SERIOUS about history they would correct this.
Giving it a week then blocking the channel permanently if there's no change.
BARBAROSA
he was in the movie fiddler off the roof.
Swinger
😮 misleading video
Great channel please change nothing 😮.
It's an OK video but stupid clickbait using the word "bestial". That word is only used in the context of having sexual relations with an animal.
many gays
Hello. Did he hated the Jews, like many of the Nazis?
He wasn’t a nazi, he was part of the normal German military and refused to become a nazi.
He was 3rd Reich & still carried out his orders against humanity & allied forces
Those defending Hopner should take into consideration his attitude and handling of both Jews and Slavs on the Eastern front. These people no doubt say he got what he deserved even if he was humane to other people and was brave enough and wise enough to try to eliminate Hitler and the SS. Humane and ethical people apply their standards to everyone equally.
Every WW2 Germany video narrated with an English or British accent is going to be biased.
Always remember the 60 billion 😢
60 billion?
@@wasupkido 600*
Ribs In peaches 6000000000000000 jews😢
Are you referring to the 11 million victims of The Holocaust?
60 BILLION what...stars in the sky???
This shit reminds me of the protests for the HAMAS terror organization.
Allegedly they hung Hubner higher than usual, because he still stank of 3rd Reich "back fat"
