@Jason L This is the classic fight of Good vs. Evil. Good will always conquer Evil. Despite the fact Evil will always rear its ugly head. Hate of any kind will always hold people back.
Have never heard of him but glad he met his fate. My grandfather was liberated from Mauthausen-Ebensee . Thanks for sharing this information and ensuring people dont forget.
He’s always the one sitting at the front at the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal grinning and showing no remorse. They got a guy who looked exactly like him to play him in the dramatisation of the trials. Took me aback . Brian Cox did an excellent job as Goering.
8:47 For me, botched executions for war criminals is a great thing! How horrible must it have been to been experimented on as a prisoner to find the 'right' execution method for killing millions of innocent civilians.
Do you believe everything you read? As a young man I worked in construction in W Germany. I worked and met many oldish Nazis they where not all like the bogyman. Think for yourself.
@@georgebrown8312 What makes you so sure? Bosnia was a massive stain against morale men! And Europe watched! If you seen the shit and filth of war you'd know we are all sheep who become pigs.
As the camera pans across the courtroom, it amazes me at how many old men are in that room. These old men, actually these old monsters perpetrated such evil upon the world that it staggers the imagination.
Well, some weren't so old, Kaltenbrunner was only 42 yrs old when hanged, Himmler was too young for first line in WWI, don't forget that some people seems older than their real age, expecially in the past. It's a sad thing that a lot of these monsters evaded capture and the hangman
Actually very many nazis were young and the nazis gave many young men opportunities to rise fast in society. The reason you see mostly old men in the trails, is that most of them started their career before the nazis came to power. They rose to the very top when the nazis came to power and stayed there. Prime examples of young nazis are Kaltenbrunner himself or Heydrich his predecessor. Another one would be Albert Speer.
Kaltenbrunner was born in 1903 (first minute of this documentary, also Wikipedia). So he did his evil deeds aged between age 35 and 42. Youngish, even by the standards of 1930s/40s. Hitler himself was aged between 45 and 55 during the 3rd Reich. Most top Nazi's were of a similar age to Hitler. Again, not old.
She may have recognised him but the evidence of a Mauthausen inmate at Nuremberg was decisive in getting him hanged. Francesc Boix, a Spanish-Catalan prisoner at Mauthausen actually succeeded in taking photographs of Kaltenbrunner's visit to the camp in 1943. Few today remember the 5,000 plus Spaniards that died in Mauthausen between 1941 and 1945. Honor y Gloria

I knew the American OSS officer, Robert Matteson, who captured Kaltenbrunner in the ski chalet in the Totesgebirge in Austria in 1945. Around 1990 Matteson still had Kaltenbrunner's #2 KRIPO identification badge (Himmler had #1). At one time he also had Kaltenbrunner's #2 SS badge, but that was stolen from him in a restaurant by a Jewish gentleman who asked to see it.

He was present in the immediate aftermath of the Liberation of Mauthausen. He had contact with the liberated Simon Wiesenthal. Where he went after the OSS became the CIA I’m not sure of.

Aw tsk tsk,the poor monsters took a bit to die...my heart bleeds NOT.Look at the horrors they inflicted on so many innocent people.No sympathy.Thanks for another well done video.👍👍
I was hoping that when it came to his execution, being of such height, that it may have been screwed up and the drop miscalculated. Having been to Matthausen Concentration Camp, this creep deserved to suffer or at least have the trap door wack him in the head. Well, he certainly learnt one lesson, don't trust the person you're cheating with.
there is a curse upon Germany cause what they did on the jews. Hans Frank(also executed) uttered: "thousend years will pas and the guilt of Germany will still remain... just mentioning flood i recent days in germany. German pride must com to an end. so be it!
could it be some consolation: hitler is now in the lowest realms of hell ... suffering the same immense pain and agony that he inflicted on innocent people (according to Dantes inferno)
Why is it that everyone who are accused of evil doings seem to have the same look about them?! Just look at pictures of some evil people they all , at one time, have the same expression on their face. 🤔
A few natizs were as ruthless and cruel as Ernst kaltenbruner. Many don't even know his name, and don't know what a central role he played in the final solution of Jews and sinti Roma and all others that the Natzis considered as undeserving to live.
The Executioner at the Nuremberg Trials did his job perfectly. No controversy about it, he delivered those monsters to their maker with more respect than they disserved.
There is an argument and I personally believe it's a good one because the Nuremberg trials failed to achieve an admission of guilt ( except for one case as far as I know), that instead of hanging they really should have been put away for a minimum of 50 years so that every day they would be reminded of and confronted by their crimes. Certainly for the first few years they would have been full of arrogance but the march of time is relentless and like Rudolf Hess they would have either gone mad or committed suicide. A more fitting punishment IMHO
@@roryobrien4401 although I'm a supporter of capital punishment for monsters such as this, you do provide a very valid opinion, I agree with what you say. Great comment mate. 👍
I understand that locking up a bunch of front-rank Nazis in postwar German prisons could be problematic; for that reason custody could have been shared between the 4 powers, not the Bundesrepublik. As it was for Hess and Speer.
@@roryobrien4401 Real life sentences would have been wasted on these evil bastards, people like that have no regrets, they didn't regret one death, after all they believed they were killing non humans, I believe they should have been tortured for months before being executed, it was too quick and easy for them. Only consolation is they are still screaming in hell as they burn for eternity and rightly so.
I think that Jon c woods (executioner) was deliberately chosen to botch the executions to make them more drawn out and painful on purpose in order to enact revenge (which was well deserved)
I see @ 2:16 thru @2:30 the picture snapped by a secret camera at Mauthausen by a Spanish prisoner that was used to refute his "never been there" defense!
Its hard to imagine how a prisoner managed to capture these photos. They are of such good quality and look as if they are official photos of the 'visit'.
@@danielhammersley2869 Unless I am missing something, assistant to the camp doctor or not, it still seems bizarre that a prisoner would have taken these photos. I am sure there would have been an official german photographer present it being such an obviously important occasion. I would be surprised if they let a prisoner so near to such high ranking persons.
@@thepub245 Power and evil have their own arrogance. The prisoner was one of Franco's "Republicans" (Communists) sent there to get them out his hair & Adolf obliged him. He survived the war.
Civilized and democratic states of today do not have the death penalty. Do not misunderstand me, criminals like Kaltenbrunner had to stand trial, but the death pealty itself and the way it was administered, by hanging, gives me headaches.
Speer, after his death was implicated on being far more instrumental in the concentration camp system than previously thought. He is now considered the one who got away.
It's little comfort to learn that those slightly lower down in the Nazi hierarchy were also tracked down, however, it's a lot better than their facing zero consequences for their actions ("He made me do it..."). Thank you for the in-depth reporting - very informative.

Why should we really care whether it was painless or not? This is a serious question. Not saying the Allies should have gone out of their way to go Medieval on the Nazis, but I would not have lost any sleep over the problem. Oh, I don't today either.
There is a good wiki page on woods. Basically he lied and said he had done it before in the US and got the job. Probably not many volunteers for the job! You had to weigh the condemned person, then you could calculate the length of rope and drop needed, he got that wrong a few times, put the noose in the wrong place etc.
That's not true. Don't blame the reaction to an evil act. You forget that Israel does similar things with innocent people, after stealing their old land, and the Chosen people led communism (Trocky, Lenin, Marx, Kun, Levine, Luxemburg, Adorno, etc.), killing 100 million people. The Western Allies also killed much more people than the Nazis.
I see that "Good ol boy" Sgt Woods was at work here again. And looks like he had enough practice by then to give poor Ernst a moderately quick exit. Someone had to have specially picked Sgt. Woods for that job knowing his skill level.
America and the Allies are great countries can you imagine what would have happened had Germany won the war? Instead the allies won the war and helped to rebuild Germany After Germany had started 2 world wars.
Rosenberg, from what I've read, was considered a bit of a joke among Hitler and his inner circle. He wrote a lot of books on "racial philosophy," one of which was once described by Goebbels as an "ideological belch." During the war, he was part of operations to loot massive amounts of artwork from the conquered nations.
When Hitler went to jail in Landsberg prison, he put Rosenberg in charge of the Party, telling a close associate his reason was that Rosenberg was "weak and lazy".

Probably a Mensur scar, since it's just at the right place in his mug in which those usually could be found. During the times of WW1 and WW2 this was a typical sight and intentional injury (seen as some twisted badge of honour) in mostly conservative but especially right wing fraternities. Lots of politicians of this era were sporting such scars. Despite being hilariously antiquated even today such right wing student fraternities still exist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling_scar
Are we to surmise his cut up face was an outcome of his mentioned temper, in younger days? I meet people on the street today who are like that. I doubt it will be any better for them than for like people who had the Nazi opportunity. I do not believe there was anything extraordinary about any of the infamous Nazis - just normal people caught up in an unfortunate unchecked (for a time) malignancy. Just an everyday portion of hate, anger and/or cowardice in the right time and place does the trick. The conversation tends toward Hitler and the Nazis but while that was one of the worst phenomena, it was by no means the only nor the last. Things go on today in your city and mine, as well as war crimes known to have gone down since 1945, that demonstrate hate, anger and so forth, that equal that of the Nazis, even though they may be on a smaller scale, or to a degree go unnoticed.
These crimes are unforgiving. Keep producing these videos so that current and future generations never forget!

Fun fact-Ernie Kaltenbrunner was the name of the man who ran the morgue in 1985's 'Return of the Living Dead'.
I once went to school with a kid named Stompenburgher...
The epitome of cowardice... Did terrible things and then hide from accountability and even deny wrongdoings upon confrontation
So it's better to die a LOSER WITH CONVICTION than attempt to LIVE IN HIDING ??
Bet both my cajones you've never once risked anything dangerous
I’ve always tried to find information on this dude and I’m glad you’ve covered him
I first learned of him from reading The Rise And Fall of The Third Reich by William Shirer in 1971.
He was a scary man, No wonder even, Himmler was scared of him
He looked intimidating with the scarred face...but a Spineless Coward through and through...

The British were efficient with their execution the Americans were punishing with their execution.
Why should we really care whether it was painless or not? This is a serious question. Not saying the Allies should have gone out of their way to go Medieval on the Nazis, but I would not have lost any sleep over the problem. Oh, I don't today either.
There is a good wiki page on woods. Basically he lied and said he had done it before in the US and got the job. Probably not many volunteers for the job!
You had to weigh the condemned person, then you could calculate the length of rope and drop needed, he got that wrong a few times, put the noose in the wrong place etc.
This morning it was still Titled "The Brutal Execution of Ernst Kaltenbrunner" nothing brutal about it not brutal enough should have been the Title!
That's not true. Don't blame the reaction to an evil act. You forget that Israel does similar things with innocent people, after stealing their old land, and the Chosen people led communism (Trocky, Lenin, Marx, Kun, Levine, Luxemburg, Adorno, etc.), killing 100 million people. The Western Allies also killed much more people than the Nazis.
"Yoo-hoo Ernst!"
"Who are you?"
"I am your mistress silly!"
"Fuhhhhk me.."
That Speer has not got death-punishment was a shame.
He quickly figured out that his knowledge of German weapons programs and war industry would give him a free get out of the noose card.
Scary how many doctors scientists lawyers judges politicians could do this horrible thing to fellow humans!! God inhuman people!!!
Kaltenbrunner was also good friends with Otto Skorzeny who had the biggest scar of all!
Makes sense, since both were Austrians.
Still waiting for 3R to do a figure of this guy.
Wonder if Stephen Miller sees this man as an inspiration for what he wants America circa 2030 to be like?
These psychos are everywhere just waiting for the opportunity.
They are but it's not who you think it is.
So hard to understand what mankind did to mankind Horrible
Given how much death he caused, he should consider himself fortunate he can only die once
He towered over the other monsters, during play.. Sick fucc's
All the executions were too kind.
"bloody successor of hangman Heydrich" as described by William shirer
It seems he was shunned by the other accused as they sat in the Dock
I see that "Good ol boy" Sgt Woods was at work here again. And looks like he had enough practice by then to give poor Ernst a moderately quick exit. Someone had to have specially picked Sgt. Woods for that job knowing his skill level.
I've always considered the possibility that that's why he was selected for the job. He certainly was no Albert Pierrepoint.
"hit his head on the way down" what a fucking shame,not...
America and the Allies are great countries can you imagine what would have happened had Germany won the war? Instead the allies won the war and helped to rebuild Germany After Germany had started 2 world wars.
Indeed
Ever see Man in the High Castle? It’s about if the nazis and Japanese won. Some pretty scary stuff.
@@pippa212 I am going to watch it since you recommended it.
@@samva777 you have to look past some of the stupid parts of the plot. But the Nazis in Manhattan and Long Island NY are spooky
That had to do with the USA, who wanted Germany strong again against the USSR. The cold war had already started.
Evil being but he had nice cheekbones
How did he get the facial scars?
From fights when he was young I think
Please do Alfred Rosenberg. Little information and no documentaries on him. Very interesting pos he was.
Rosenberg, from what I've read, was considered a bit of a joke among Hitler and his inner circle. He wrote a lot of books on "racial philosophy," one of which was once described by Goebbels as an "ideological belch." During the war, he was part of operations to loot massive amounts of artwork from the conquered nations.
Alfred Rosenberg was Jewish.
@@lakewrites no, he was a Baltic German. But his fellow party leadership liked to joke that he must be the only Jewish Aryan in the world.
When Hitler went to jail in Landsberg prison, he put Rosenberg in charge of the Party, telling a close associate his reason was that Rosenberg was "weak and lazy".
Sir ! who.are you anyway.. i like the way of your presentation & your subject matter on the different people's. personally I do know a bit already.. But I like the sound of someone's voice Which makes all the difference in the world. Keep up the good work & the power's to be will watch over You !!! L8TR.
Do you have video about Germany doctors execution after IIWW.?
Thank you
A lot of the nazi hierarchy seem to have links with Linz
Himmler was afraid of this dude
the man was a brute even to his own staff. I have a book on him where it states he stuck a female secretary in the face for a typing error.
Woods was the right person at the right place at the right time !
I'm glad the man's name was spelled out. The way you are pronouncing it, sounds like Kassenberg
After WW2 the media repeatedly confused Kaltenbrunner's name with that of American journalist, H.V. Kaltenborn. Oops!
Freely, happily giving onto others something he was so afraid to have others do onto himself.
Moral: If you're going to commit crimes against humanity, don't keep a mistress.
After the executions Woods said
Fast and well done job
Woods got his in the end - electrocuted
off topic question: is the narrators accent from liverpool?
Doesn't sound like scouse at all. Perhaps Birmingham or thereabouts.
@@neillennox8472 ok thanks.
thank - you .
Anyone know the story behind his facial scars? Knife fight??
Probably a Mensur scar, since it's just at the right place in his mug in which those usually could be found. During the times of WW1 and WW2 this was a typical sight and intentional injury (seen as some twisted badge of honour) in mostly conservative but especially right wing fraternities. Lots of politicians of this era were sporting such scars. Despite being hilariously antiquated even today such right wing student fraternities still exist.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling_scar
Yes, they were definitely dueling scars.
A combination of duelling scars and scars from a car crash whilst drunk,Kaltenbrunner loved a drink
You gotta sort your voice tone out.It's all over the shop!
Hoping I would hear the executioner was JC Woods.
Yes, the executioner of the war criminals tried at Nuremberg was John C. Woods.
Woods got his with his electrocution - hopefully it was extremely painful
Are we to surmise his cut up face was an outcome of his mentioned temper, in younger days? I meet people on the street today who are like that. I doubt it will be any better for them than for like people who had the Nazi opportunity. I do not believe there was anything extraordinary about any of the infamous Nazis - just normal people caught up in an unfortunate unchecked (for a time) malignancy. Just an everyday portion of hate, anger and/or cowardice in the right time and place does the trick. The conversation tends toward Hitler and the Nazis but while that was one of the worst phenomena, it was by no means the only nor the last. Things go on today in your city and mine, as well as war crimes known to have gone down since 1945, that demonstrate hate, anger and so forth, that equal that of the Nazis, even though they may be on a smaller scale, or to a degree go unnoticed.
Cuts on face were dueling scars.
The scars were from a car crash. Kaltenbrunner liked a drink or ten.
i always wonder why the prisoners wore sunglasses...embarrassment?
@Twiggy Smallz i did not know that. thank you
@ 10:17 , who are the first, 2 men sitting in front row.
He was not a nice person.
Borman, Eichman, and Mengela all got away?
mengele? yes
eichmann? no
bormann? suicide in 1945
One gets the sense that this eventually will be the end for the higher officials of the CCP.
Also for the crooked polititions in the US.
One can only hope thats the case
