Interesting that the only nation in WWII to carry out unrestricted submarine warfare from their moment of entering was the USA. Indeed there were senior officers both of the USA and UK who felt the prosecution of Doenitz was unreasonable and unjustified. I believe some of the most senior even went so far as to say they would testify on his behalf; pretty extraordinary. The only clearly established case of a u-boat killing survivors in the water ended with the commanding officer being prosecuted via court martial and executed. I have no sympathy for the gang of criminals that comprised the senior figures of the Nazis, but I have always thought Doenitz's case was that of "victor's justice".
Well, actually an American Sub Cmdr Morton stopped to gun down several hundred Japanese survivors and British POWs after he sunk their ship and was awarded the Navy Cross for it as well as receiving a letter of commendation for the act from Admiral King.
@@crazyforcoffee5950 That's true. There is good and evil in every WW2 side , lots of allied generals commited war crimes too. Only history is written by the victorious so no one talks about that.
Hı bro, do you have General Heinz Guderian Nuremberg court document? I wonder General Heinz Guderian. Because he's big soldier, smart and respectful. He's a real soldier.

Yes Doenitz was one of the only ones I liked that was accused
All sides were just as bad

The counsel for Doenitz was Kranzbuehler - L not K. Guessing it's a typo.
why does this day 126 dönitz clip have the same content as the day 124 dönitz clip?
Groundhog day for doenitz
AKA Duncan Doenitz.

最后法官：来麦给你，来来来，你他妈来讲
They didn't bring to light the laconia incident, No surprise really the british and americans couldn't be painted as bad like they were.
I don’t speak German so this is wasted on me.
This trial was a joke
