  • How did Hitler react when he was told that the Red Army would enter Berlin? What did Göring say when he saw that the Soviets were coming to his Carinhall mansion? What was the conversation that each of you had with General Heinrici like? What were the main reasons Heinrici gave you when he told you that it would be impossible to defend the Oder? Next in this program, we are going to discuss all of these details and many more.

    Heinrici was relieved of duty in April 45 for not following orders during the onslaught of Berlin and was ordered to go to Berlin immediately, alone and on his own accord. Just before he was going to drive there, Captain Hellmuth Lang interceded, took him to the side and told him not to go to Berlin but instead, make a run for it, to Plon and give himself up there to the British. Lang explained that what was waiting for Heinrici in Berlin was a kangaroo court, where he'd be tried, convicted and shot by a firing squad for dereliction of duty. Heinrici heeded Lang's advice, thanked Lang profusely and drove to Plon where he gave himself up to the British on 28 May. He was never charged with war crimes and was released in 48. It was noted, that in 1943, he wouldn't destroy the city of Smolensk as ordered. He died in 71.

    When the Gestopo came to arrest Henrici a number of his men stepped out of nowhere, gun drawn and told them where they could go and if they came back they would be the ones being killed. After Seelow Heights he was ordered to Berlin and his friend told him to don't rush, take your time ? So he lived "our poisoned dwarf"as he was known by his troops, who fought defence battles from Moscow to Berlin. A truly great German general and a truly great German.

      Yes. Few other generals could use that technique even if they had tried--it required a nearly perfect understanding of Soviet capabilities and intentions. I first read about him as a kid in Ryan's superb book, 'The Last Battle,' about the Berlin cauldron which this video seems to be primarily based on. His diaries, when they became available about a decade back, revealed some clues to his analytical approach and more about his concerns. Himmler of course longed to kill him after Heinrici replaced him as commander in charge of Berlin's defense, and then after the Bunker meeting. Fortunately his staff was quite ready to defend him and he delayed reporting back. For some reason I think he became a life insurance executive in Karlsruhe for awhile after he retired. Can't confirm the insurance part but I was in Southern Germany in the 1980s and looked for him, as he was and remains a personal hero of mine, but found that he had passed away. Do you know of any other books about him?

    Gotthard Heinrici was a superb defensive tactician and realized the absolute folly of sending the last panzer reserves to Prague. However, even if he had had use of these reserves, it would only have delayed the inevitable Soviet breakthrough by possibly 10 days at most, Then too, with no panzers in Prague, the route of the Germans there would have been even more catastrophic than was the case, allowing Konev's Soviet armies ultimately to envelope Berlin from the south. The situation for the Germans was hopeless and Heinrici had the courage and wisdom to understand that.

      Heinrici was a defeatist dwarf. There were so many clowns only a dwarf was missing. Even if the soldiers were unexperienced you never say that. Hilter posesesed the art of removing panzer divisions from they were most needed. With maybe a million troops scattered across Europe and a dwarf put to defend Berlin, what kind of strategy was that? Is hard to understand why the german army didn't perform better and got stronger as the front line got smaller to defend? Because they left army after army in certain points on their way back "for future offensive" until NONE was there to defend Berlin

    Heinrici's main concern was, inexperienced scared troops, retreating, would create more chaos...
    They would do more harm than good...

      Goering was an incredibly incompetent morphin-addict and pretty much nothing he ever promised in terms of military personnel, materiel or operations was true - which Heinrici almost certainly knew aswell. I would not have been surprised if those "22.000 elite soldiers" turned out to be 2.200 Volkssturm amputées with barely a month of fighting experience on average.

    Part of the reason the 6th Army was not ordered out of the Stalingrad encirclement was because Goering said he could supply 6th Army by air until they could be relieved. Using JU 52's and a few Condors would not be nearly enough capacity to supply 300,000 men on airfields in range of Soviet artillery. It was a wild boast that caused a massive failure, just as he failed to deter American daylight bombing. Heinrici correctly blamed Goering who should have paid the price for it at these failures at the time. Not that Hitler didn't make one or two missteps along the way as well.

      You're welcome. As you know, Ryan wrote two other books, "The Longest Day" and "A Bridge Too Far", both of which have been made into movies. Try and find a hard cover version of "The Last Battle", as it contains numerous photos and maps. For a German viewpoint, I recommend Paul Carrell's two books on the German-Russian conflict.

    From what I've seen of WWII documentaries, Hitler was living in a fantasy land, moving almost non existant armies around Berlin. Except for Heinrici, most of Hitler's senior staff appeared too terrified of the consequences of telling him the truth. Any honourable leader would have immediatley surrendered to save unecessary loss of the lives of civilians and those of his undoubtably brave and loyal troops.

      In the final days of the war, Heinrici was dismissed and recalled to Berlin from the front, but was warned by a colleague that he was to be executed, so he drove to the Western front at Plön and handed himself in to British forces. He spent time in a POW camp in Wales, then in 1947 was transferred to the USA to help American military historians learn about German military operational practises. He returned to Germany and upon his death in 1971, aged 85, he was buried with full military honours.

      They were lucky in the beginning, facing off ill equipped and prepared armies but as soon as the allies and russia had time to recover, and prepare, the end was pre-ordained.
      It's the same as Japan's bombing of pearl harbour...all they did was wake a sleeping giant.

      The Nazis failed in the Battle Of Britain & the North African campaign ; before the Soviets and United States became Allies in the War. That should have been a signal to the Nazis , that all was not going well..! And of course it should not be forgotten ; the key Axis powers also included Italy and Japan...

    I am 77, and my father was in Italy, Germany, Poland, France, England,the Netherlands and in North africa. He landed in Italy on Dec 10, 1943, the first d'day and ended up in England after 1945. He was a truck driver, and could not March because he had flat feet. Hence he drove a truck. On the day of June when they invaded France, he was still in Italy. My uncle landed on juno on June?, the second man out of the first boat. The fellow who was first out of the boat was a neighbour of my father and left 5 little girls behind, all under 8 years old. I met that last surviving girl at a get together of my family. She was a neighbour.

The 1st US Army’s advanced across the Rhine to the south of the Ruhr. The allied advance across the Rhine to the north was undertaken by the 9th US Army, 1st Canadian Army and 2nd British Army under the 21st Army Group and the 1st Allied Airborne Army.
