The Execution Of The French Lord Haw Haw
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Inside of a French Fort after the end of World War 2, a traitor was executed by a firing squad. Jean Herold Paquis was a French Pro-Nazi radio broadcaster who promoted the German occupation and tried to demoralise the Allies during the Second World War. He was a collaborator with the Germans and he knew he would be arrested at the end of the conflict, and he was then tried for treason. He was executed as a traitor, and there are comparisons drawn between his fate and that of Lord Haw Haw, William Joyce another infamous traitor and WW2 radio broadcaster.

Funfact: Joyce was American-born (New York City April 24th 1906) and raised in Ireland, and as a teenager he was an informant to the British forces about the IRA members during the Irish War of Independence.He attended the school I went to, a Jesuit school (St Ignatius Sea Road, Galway, Ireland)
in evidence at his trial, it was found that Joyce had NEVER actually been a British subject. It seemed that he would have to be acquitted based upon a lack of jurisdiction; he could not be convicted of betraying a country that was not his own. The trial judge, Mr. Justice Tucker, directed the jury to acquit Joyce of the first and second charges.
However, the Attorney General, Sir Hartley Shawcross, successfully argued that Joyce's possession of a British passport, even though he had mis-stated his nationality to get it, entitled him until it expired to British diplomatic protection in Germany and therefore he owed allegiance to the King at the time he began working for the Germans.
Interestingly the historian A. J. P. Taylor remarked in his book English History 1914-1945 that "Technically, Joyce was hanged for making a false statement when applying for a passport, the usual penalty for which is a small fine."
In an unusual twist Joyce's biographer, Nigel Farndale, suggests on the basis of documents made public for the first time between 2000 and 2005 that Joyce made a deal with his prosecutors not to reveal links he had to MI5.
In return, for this, his wife Margaret, known to radio listeners as "Lady Haw-Haw", was spared prosecution for high treason.
Of the 33 British renegades (33!!!! Where have I heard that number before?!) and broadcasters caught in Germany at the end of the war, ONLY Margaret Joyce, who died in London in 1972, was NOT charged with treason.
Joyce's remains were buried in an unmarked grave within the walls of Wandsworth Prison.
In 1976, following a campaign by his daughter, Heather Iandolo, his body was re-interred in New Cemetery, Bohermore, Galway, as he had lived in Galway with his family from 1909 until 1922.

Thank you!!!
Different Lord Haw Haw, there were several that went by that name.
Wow….thanks interesting!

While I'm not sure his punishment was entirely fair by the strict letter of the law the old saying "If you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas" applies here.

"Radio Paris ment, Radio Paris ment, Radio Paris est allemand !" (Radio Paris lies, Radio Paris lies, Radio Paris is German! ) A famous slogan during Free French broadcasts on the BBC.
Yes, it was a sarcastic set of lyrics by Pierre Dac, a French humorist who joined the French resistants gone to UK with De Gaulle. He used the melody of the Mexican song "la Cucaracha" for this song.

The question is: why kill him?
3 people in a row can’t figure out which comment they’re replying to. 😂
I've read material on Joyce since the 1960s. Joyce tried to play both sides of the fence
Which usually ends one way
Paquis' opponent Pierre Dac who was in the French Resistance was noted to show some sympathy to Paquis prior to his execution. Dac also felt disgusted of how the execution was celebrated quote, "a man who is going to receive twelve bullets in the skin, that doesn't make me laugh, and even less so laugh".
I agree. I oppose the death penalty but at the time it was the law of the land and you might say that his sentence was deserved. But Dac was right: that was not a reason to rejoice or celebrate. It was seen as a necessary thing.
btw Dac had every moral right to express this opinion, and had no reason to feel sympathy for J H-P. On the contrary: he'd been with the BBC in London and if the Germans had invaded the UK he'd certainly have been shot. Furthermore, Dac was Jewish.
His name sounds like a french laugh 😂
Yes indeed, but for him it was no "laughing" Matter. He met his just due.
The question should be, however, when is the Lord Hee-haw of the USA (Donald Trump) along with the SCOTUS-6 gang, are going be tried for treason?
Lady "Hee Hee" ? 😉😆
But it was Not funny. Especially people who were killed because of them.
Good day, and Thank You for your Excellent videos.
An excellent, balanced report on a sorry individual without morals.
Thank you.
What a strange story. The romance of French history is unique for being Europe’s first republic. Their politics and obsession with saying one thing and doing another has dogged their culture with an acceptance of fate but a refusal to live with the consequences. Gallic history is littered with good intentions but poor outcomes for their citizens. Their foreign policy has always been to oppose the British. Their internal affairs is highly regulated and children are aware of state interference at every level making them very nationalistic but poor in innovation. French culture highly coloured by Arabic influence but this is denied by their elites and ancient tropes like Charlemagne are considered indicators of their superiority.
Its amazing how many of the French civilian and military ,actually sided with the Germans , especially the navy.
And Jean Marie LePen!
Britain and Vichy France never officially declared war on each other. But in June 1940 until November 1943 they came to blows on air, land and sea.
Just a point of fact, Haw-Haw wasn't British.
The case actually hinged on the fact that he once lied to get a British passport by claiming he was British. When he did that his fate was sealed.
@@harvey1954 Lying on a passport application is not a hanging offense.
@@petebondurant58no,it's a shooting one obviously!

You never say how many lives were lost due to his actions broadcasting?
What’s the link between journalists and traitors? The MSM is keeping that tradition alive….
Haw Haw's country of birth is irrelevant, he was from an Allied country but blowing the trumpet for the Axis. He fully deserved his suspended sentence, his long stretch, as did Paquis who shat in his britches at the end.
Ireland WASN'T an allied country only Northern Ireland was ......
@@PhilipKerry He was born in New York.
Joyce wasn't British.......he was Irish.
He had a British passport!!!
So tough...he ran from Ireland and got a British passport....therefore he was legally under the jurisdiction of the British!!!

I wonder if Haw Haw ever went Hee Hee while watching Hee Haw?
If he had made it to Spain, he never would have been executed thanks to Franco
Tucker Carlson are you listening?
lol the same wandsworth prison that has been in the news lately
Bet he was saying it wasn’t him.
In reality he was probably crying his eyes out. Not understanding his actions got people killed.
Giving aid to the enemy during a time of war is punished by death.
I suppose there’s an exception for medical aid to wounded prisoners who have surrendered.

Jean Hérold-Paquis was a sinister man.
His broadcasts were full of a kind of cold hatred, one of his favourite catchphrases was "England, like Carthage, must be destroyed".
Although I'm not in favour of the death penalty, I can't say I feel sorry for him.
(By the way his name was pronounced "pah-kee").
i think they must of just rolled the dice to see who got killed a lot worse got away with it ?

Don't you mean Hee Haw? 🤣
No
@@paulaanderson9798 You obviously don't get it.
Lord Hee Haw the french quitter
You have grossly mispronounced the last name of Jean-Hérold Paquis. It is pronounced Pakee and not Pakwee. In order for it to be pronounced Pa-kwee, it would have to be spelled “Pacouis.“ I’m French so I know. My parents listened to his broadcasts during World War II - not because they shared his views, they didn’t, but they were a captive audience. Anyhow, they always pronounced the name Pakee, not Pakwee. His real (birth) name was actually Jean Hérold, but he changed it to Hérold-Paquis becuase he was born in a neighborhood of the small town of Arches called Paquis.
Some comments on yt are worse than anything Lord Haw Haw ever made.
Fun fact: The French themselves invaded and plundered other countries all over the world! (Colonies)!
Really? Tell us more.
And your point? That justifies what exactly? Sounds like your a nazi apologist.
YAAAAAWN
Jean Herold Paquis could not have been a "traitor," as France had legally surrendered to the Germans and technically was no longer an enemy. Also - legally - the traitors were the French Resistance and the Free French, who did not abide by their country's surrender terms. The law always favors the victor.
That's a well-known argument. It has its logic, but it falls down when you remember that the Germans themselves violated the terms of the armistice whenever they felt like it. And it can be argued that although the Vichy eregime was technically legal, its actions certainly weren't. One of its first decisions was to apply new laws on the "status of Jews", barring them from various professions etc. That was NOT asked for in the terms of the armistice.
Also, plenty of people in the military or civil service resigned and often joined the resistence when the Germans invaded the zone in the South of France that had not been occupied until then. To them it was one thing for Frace to keep an administration of some sort and a (small) army, as the armistice allowed, but quite another to embark on the so-called National Revolution,, to turn France inton far-right dictatorship. Vichy also cooperated, indeed collaborated, with tlhe criminal policies of the Nazis, which made it complicit. It even sponsired French units who joined the SS and other forces fighting on the German side. Who were the traitors then?
And the, there was the rounding up of tens of thousands of Jews by the French police, which also garded the holding camps they were kept in while waiting to be put on "the trains". This was a betrayal of all the principles France stood (and stands) for. Nothing in the armistice terms had said that Jews had to be treated in that way.
French lord??
He was not french 🐖
This one was French they compare him to the British (Irish) Lord Ha Ha.
His name is pronounced Packee, not Packwee. The u is silent in qu in French.
Hard punishment for talking
Passing on intelligence to the enemy is also "talking" so it's hardly harsh at all.
Tucker “Traitor “ Carlson talks way to much
Interesting that only the male propagandist were executed. Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally were put in prison and then let out.
@harvey1954.
You might want to read up on Tokyo Rose's case a little more .
And I mean really read about why she went to prison.
Got plenty of these guys today….. pro Russian types….
he was an American citizen and that means he could not have been guilty of treason to Britain, he helped the British when he lived in Ireland by informing on the IRA but he had to be made an example of mainly because how helped expose the king Edward VIII of England for being a nazi sympathiser which the government denied at the time but everyone now knows is true, most of the things he said in his broadcast were true, not all but most, he got a rough deal I think,
👍👍👍
His name and 'royal' title makes it seems like his actions and the end of his life was almost preordained.
I personally think that his broadcasts should have been evaluated for there effectiveness, my understanding was that they were regarded as a joke.
To judiciously kill someone for a joke leaves a bad taste, and brought capital punishmet into disrepute.
Joyce was Irish, born in Galway so he can't be a traitor. Sorry! They got him because he had once held a British passport. Your report is factually wrong.
Galway was part of The UK until 1922 . And he held a British passport . But wasn 't he born in The USA ?
@@samsum3738 It was still a stretch to call him British.
@@taxidude Let us call him An Enemy Of The State . In wartime , especially a fight to the death , all bets are off . He threw the dice and he lost .
He was born in America and moved to Galway. Lied about being British to get his British passport.
@@harvey1954Correct and usually punishable by having the passport revoked and paying a fine. They argued that because he had a British passport he was entitled to British diplomatic protection while he was in Germany and thus owed allegiance to the King.
Sounds like a big crock of bullshit to me. His crime was words. This is what happens when a country has no 1st Amendment Rights to protect them. What happened to 'Alls Fair in Love and War? Not in France, apparently.
How many were killed and/or betrayed because of his propaganda?
Words have power, my friend. They're not just ink on a page or sound vibrations in the air. Nations have gone to war because of words.
Passing on information to the enemy is "words" too. Pat them on the writst and send them on their way when they are caught ? Sheesh !
Tell that to the US media, who gladly broadcast troop movements and other Intel to the enemy in Afghanistan during the war. Nobody tried them for it, either.
@@Knuckledragon782
Actually, the mainstream US media does not do that. But it's a favorite accusation from the right-wing media.
The only instance that I'm aware of, in recent memory, was Geraldo Rivera was embedded with an American unit in Afghanistan, back in 2004 or so, and he broadcast where they were and where they had gone that day.
He got into some very deep doo-doo for that.
And let's look at the evidence: if any media were broadcasting troop movements, American soldiers would be getting slaughtered left, right, and center.
France already lost their brief entry into the war, so the fact that he was anti-British hardly makes him a traitor. Not all French were anti-German, just a fact. The USA and Britain invaded Europe, and the Germans could equally be looked upon as liberators. Had Germany won, that is how it would have been viewed.
Ludicrous! No sane Frenchman could have failed to notice the German invasion of their country, and subsequent occupation. Fighting against the Allies would in no way make them liberators, even had the Nazis somehow won the war.
The Germans could have been seen as liberators? From whom.
@@beltigussin81 From communists, as well as the entrenched oligarchy, working hand-in-hand against native peoples in the West.
@@johnnyredux4019 And the Nazis were going to be an improvement on those two completely opposite factions how? The people of France fought to kick out the nazis and celebrated their fall. So don't know what you're on about. But then again we have to make allowance for ignorance of history or mental illness or deficiency.
What nonsense. He was also anti-French which is why he condemned the Vichy. The USA and England did not set up their own government to run France, but let the Free French take over. Hardly the same thing as Germany occupation.
He was Germany's best commedian....
