Former Jugoslavia must have been a truly savage place in WW2. Possibly Neidholdt had some redeeming features that we are unaware of, otherwise surely he would have been strung up. The hand of Tito may have been involved - we will never know.
Fighting partisans (aka gurrelias, terriorists, etc) is a brutal business.The constantly used term, "Innocent civilians," is often an oxymoron. I'm sure he committed war crimes, but probably no more than the partisans he fought against. He was executed because his side lost the war.
God point. Many civilians who were German friendly in the occupied countries were demonized after the liberation. And many so-called "freedom fighters" emerged. Ethically wrong. They lost and once the war stopped it should have stopped. The country was free.
Partisans are not terrorists, they fight against invading forces . Germans were invaders . Dont go to other country to kilo and pillage and you will not need fight partisans. I must remind that most german generals survived war even from SS.
Even if the title did not say "German" you can tell by the title the execution was done to a German. Japanese executions are "Brutal" when the convicted did the same crimes.
to the victors who right does history do historians who have tested the archives write the true history of events like them or hate them lies the truth reader makes up their own mind
Cautious on factual matters? Documents on both the axis and allies sides confirm everything brought forth in this video. Facts trump cautious feeling Don't blind yourself with ignorance
Mainly on the orders of Hitler. He didn't want to limit the war supplies that he had for his own military forces into setting up many prisoner of war camps where Germany had to be taking care of the housing, feeding and securing of people that he didn't care for at all anyway. Killing them was much less of an expense to him and his war effort.

100 per cent agreed, the partisans committed war crimes each and every day!

Yugoslavia and Greece, the forgotten front of WW2.

Prussia was almost entirely Lutheran, which is Protestant, but the Lutheran Church had "pastors" not "priests".
Heretics by any name are the same thing.
@@ricparks7441Rubbish. Would you say that every member of the Lutheran church today is heretics?
The German general that they are talking about wasn't a Lutheran pastor, HIS FATHER WAS. His father was NOT a heretic.
Victors justice

We have to be cautious about what we hear about Germans in the allies' mainstream media.

@@williammoore841 The winers write the history. Benito Churchill.
Why? The Allies never lie or misrepresent anything!
Yes it reminds me of the actual situation of Israel Palestine, you can see the one in power can shift the narrative.
@sjmousavi Who's ''We''? Don't count me in your lot...
I don't understand why Germen soldiers had killed so many inocent people.
Mainly on the orders of Hitler. He didn't want to limit the war supplies that he had for his own military forces into setting up many prisoner of war camps where Germany had to be taking care of the housing, feeding and securing of people that he didn't care for at all anyway.

Partisans were not inocent people
Many of those people were not innocent and supported terrorists (called 'partisans' by the winning side).
Looser says what?
They were partisans, after all. What's the evidence for him gloating on innocent murders?
Western allies traded Germans for 3rd world muslims.
What genius.
What are Dupas?
The General may have been a Devil but had the eyes of true sadness.
