- At the end of the Second World War, the Allies sought to bring the evil guards of concentration camps to justice. But one man they were hunting for was Rudolf Höss, the Commandant of Auschwitz who was responsible for the executions of over 1 million people inside of the huge site. But Höss could not be found, until his wife gave over the information that he was working as a gardener under a false name. Following this Hanns Alexander and a group of British soldiers arrived at Gottrupel where he was hiding out, and they tried to get him to give over his real name.
He was identified when his ring was take off and engraved was Rudolf and Hedwig, his wife's name. But after this, he was beaten badly by the British soldiers that apprehended him, and they beat him heavily with axe handles. Alexander was told that he would not have survived if they continued, but then whilst he was imprisoned he was also tortured for information.

My grandmother lost her mother, 3 sisters and a brother to this beast. Anything that happened to him does not equal the pain, that he inflicted on those innocent people.
Course she did. We believe you.
@@occidentadvocate.9759 Is that sarcasm or you're been obnoxiously stupid?
@@occidentadvocate.9759 his grandmother lost her mother, that's his great grandmother and her daughters. How's that sound fictitious to you?
There's lots of people who lost family to the holocaust, what you've been living under a rock or what?
He's now in a place that has no words too describe its horror.
I lost my family to this beast
The scary thing is, people like this are in our communities the world over (they just don't know it) they haven't been given the power or the where with all to act out more atrocities .
TWO out of every 100 births in the US are potential psychopaths, 1.5 in the UK most never act on this disorder, for reasons you already stated. Makes me sick that there isn't more empathy in this world,i never raised even a hand to my own children growing up they both turned out productive educated citizens, something about harming your own flesh and blood that made me sick,i wasn't having it on my watch.
They are mass serisl killers- Cambodia, Bosnia, putin
DEFINITELY 💯.
The real scary thing is that they may have condemned an innocet, all they had was witness testimonies and in a court of law, a real one, this is the least reliable form of evidence. These trials were a joke, the judges and lawyers were from the enemy, how could they get a fair trial? Anywhere else in the world in any court of law to be valid a judgement has to be rendered by neutral officials, I don't understand why this was accepted as legitimate, I guess the place was packed with psychopaths, on both sides.
@@rosesprog1722 Only guilty parties hide, and later when genetic researching became the norm and a much better understanding of it and how it works , they compared living relatives of his, to a sample of the executed man's DNA, THEY WERE SATISFIED THEY HAD THE CORRECT MONSTER. There was other evidence the man arrested had a wedding band on with the proper inscription inside the ring, they found the man that killed those three college students while they slept through this same method using relative DNA , DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY GOT THE CORRECT MAN . THE WORLDS BEST FORGED DOCUMENT EXPERT , looked at Obama's birth certificate, hefound 14 points of forgery, he also told the media how it was done and the equipment or computer they used to do it with, A IBM computer only two are known to be functional, 1 is in smithsonian museum the otheris in the basement of the FBI building in WASHINGTON DC, OBAMA IS A TRADER A FAKE HE HAS THREE SSI NUMBERS 2 NAMES THEY INSTANTLY SEALED HIS DOCUMENTS UP ONLY THE GUILTY HIDE., OBAMA, Is gay his wife s name is mike he has a penis, the truth always comes out sooner or later
Isnt it amazing how a narcissist complains when feel they are mistreated. They can dish it out, but can never take the abuse they have given to others.
That's human nature.
Agreed! Or, using passive agressive phrase, "look Jack!" Or, "You lying Dog Pony Soldier," when asked a legitimate question. I suppose another way is poking your finger in someone's chest, or little smirks like that.
Thank you!!!! Exactly

Watch the movie “Zone of Interest”…it’s like you’re watching this man and his family living a regular life while in the background you can always hear guards yelling and people screaming…all while they just go on about their day. You never see any abuse really. It’s just always right there, right outside the window. Seriously haunting movie about Rudolph Hoss and his family. It’s one of those movies you’ll only watch once. It’s almost uncomfortable in the way it makes you feel as you watch it and you almost forget just how sick and twisted this guy was. It won an Oscar even!
That movie was boring as hell.
I actually watched it last night, the wife found a diamond in a tube of toothpaste, and got a beautiful dress 😢 from a Jewish lady. They were a small minority that tricked the German army and people into a catastrophe
If you watch on a device instead of in a theatre, put on headphones. The background sound is the power of context for the film.
@@hifi6638 Definitely! I did that the second time and it is chilling in some parts of the movie. That’s really the best way to see this.
Why would I want to watch a fictional movie about a fictional thing?
It warms my heart to know he suffered before dying. Vile beast that he was.
If it was true...
no hes a victim of the needed PG to demonize National Socialism and whitewash the allies
@@WillyEckaslike The Nazis didn't need anybody to "demonize" them 😛, it's like saying that the number of damned souls that Lucifer has barbecued so far is grossly exagerated and that he is a great guy 😈😂 .

Even the death of this vile man would never atone for the suffering and misery he had so willingly caused.
But he will be in everlasting torment. Divide infinity by 6 Million -> the quotient is still infinite. Infinite punishment for each person that he murdered.
You can blame hoss and righty so, but most of the blame goes to Hitler, who ordered it, Himmler who led it and Heydrich who planned/carried it out.
Of course he did not orchestrate the genocide but he was a willing participant of it. I see no difference between those who organise murder and those who commit it.
@@rowancrew2934Being ordered to do something is not doing it’willingly.’
@@SteveSmith-eb6ze I suppose that would very much depend on. your moral compass, just obeying orders was the standard Nazi defence it didn't wash at Nuremberg and it doesn't wash with me now, of course he had a choice.
To see the children is just heartbreaking 💔
& DISGUSTING.
The Allies imprisoned children in concentration camps.
It doesn't matter what age .I don't want to sound unsympathetic at all ,and it's heartbreaking .but if those youngsters had to deal with a Nazi regime and never ,ever seeing a parent or sibling ever again Perhaps their reuniting in Heaven may be the best for them . I don't think anyone in this modern world can fully grasp the atrocities ,the persecution of such innocent ,harmless and naive souls BUT imagine the lives of these so precious young children trying to cope or even comprehend a life under such rule Who would provide care ,nourishment , and hope for these poor children that would only have a childhood of confinement , punishment ,torture as some laboratory rat to conduct experiments Its crime so very heinous that no human being can even think of how those " rats " were treated ,tortured and dumped into a trash receptacle unfit for flies ,vermin , and those lowest forms of bacteria . So some 80 years later it is still so disturbing and you can only pray that the Lord has made those victims a special place in His Kingdom and those kids are very special angels .
Its easy to say that those atrocities happened a " long time " ago Yet all ,irregardless of age ,creed ,color should know why wars happen and the absolute horror that they bring .Let the lessons be learned , and the ultimate sacrifices given by brave , innocent and unselfish souls always be remembered . And thankful that a regime such as the Nazis were conquered May the children play in the schoolyard ,may people worship without prejudice , and may Peace always be the best solution to settle all differences Not bullets and bombs .
🏴✨🙏✨🥀✨💔✨🙏✨.
They just did not give a damn .
How ironic that this evil man whined about being treated harshly !
Fear made them show their real nature - they were afraid of being treated the way they treated their prisoners, which shows how coward they were.
It's OK no one listened
@@WillyEckaslike Oh dear Willy, is that your real name…..willy? What a penis.

This is one of the few times I've watched one of these videos with something of a smile. Wonderful to know he suffered before he died.
It's odd, I found myself smiling as well.
I also enjoyed reading how this evil man got a small taste of what he gave out to millions of innocent humans
But if you believe in the Christian God then Hess will be living a eternal life in paradise because of he asked God for forgiveness
@@nomadsteve5297
Nonsense
@@beachboys3326 the book says that anyone will be forgiven if they ask for it
I read some of Hess's memoirs. The way he wrote about the work they did made me feel like he headed a factory. I found a part of me that started to cheer them for their hard work. And then you realize he was talking about people being led to death, in numbers like 30k a day. A fair size city worth of people. Gone in a day. It was sickening, and I felt I needed to keep reading though out of respect to those nameless who died. Monsters don't hide in the dark.
Wasn't that long ago either witch means it can happen again no matter how crazy it sounds
Auschwitz Birkenau had a total of five crematoriums each of which had the capability of burning 2 to 3 bodies per hour. I’m no mathematician but that doesn’t seem like 30,000 in a day would pencil out.
@@DarthAdolf0they would process 30,000 people a day into the camp, not all these people are being killed with in a short amount of time. Some live there for months. When they did kill people they would process the bodies for time periods afterwards. Hess actually talks about having to overcome the issues of the bodies piling up. Before the crematoriums they burnt people in pits with railroad tracks as a place to hold the body above the flame. He mentions the problem of the steel track melting under the heat. The thing is, his memoirs are so matter of fact. You kind of cheer him on a little bit and then realize his good work are people dying.
I've just got hold of a copy
Höss. Hess was a different nazi
One of the scariest things is how he came to recognise how wrong and how evil his crimes were. It highlights how ordinary people can become corrupted and turn into the worst imaginable. If it wasn't for the rise of the Nazi party and the war, most of these Germans would've lived completely normal lives without hurting a single person. Yet these "ordinary people", which were someones son, brother, neighbour, friend, were instead transformed into unimaginable monsters.
Do you seriously believe he was sorry for his crimes? Responsible for murdering millions and then, like all pieces of scum, apologetic when he is caught. A mass murdering savage, scum without precedent.
Yes they were victims too.
@@brandongardner9829 Are you saying that Hoss and his fellow savages were victims too?
I was stationed in Germany from 12/82-07/16/92. My German friends were very ashamed of Germany during both WWI and WWII. German people are very proud and determined, but they cannot overcome their past.
no he didnt want his wife and son to lose their ration cards or be sent to star lynn goo lags..what would u do i j i t ?
What I believe most frightening is that most normal people would do what this man did given certain circumstances and would do it without blinking an eye .
"Most" is a lie
I really don't think so.
It was his idea to use Zyklon B even.
Well technically it was the idea of Karl Fritzsch but Hoess decided to use it when he saw how well it worked on these poor pows. He is responsable. He wasn't just following orders.
@@YlL-ji2sl Just to play contrarian, Hoess could have said that he was still following orders but was merely trying to follow those orders in a more efficient manner. I do not in any way justify what he did but I do not find this man exceptional . You will find many a man amoral under normal circumstances,let alone under extraordinary circumstances .
tf you mean Most normal people? the majority of people would likely go insane from this type of job, case in point the sonderkammmandos(not sure of the spelling). and they most definitely wouldn't do it without being heavily threatened.
@@BirdBro2 I absolutely mean that normal people would committ atrocities . Look at history . An idiot ascends power, starts a war and the normal people go to war and committs massacres and genocides. That is a big part of history. How many My Lai massacres have been committed by Americans in the name of democracy . All that a person has to do to committ atrocites is to simply dehumanize their victims .Take a good look a your western media they have already dehumanized Russia ,Putin .
This guy is almost unintelligible.
I was born in 1974. I have no connection to World War II and had no family members killed. Even so, I will never forget the atrocities that were committed. I will never stop praying and fighting to ensure that never happens again.
Rwanda proves your prayers have been in vain, sorry to say.
Never again, except in Cambodia by Pol Pot or Myanmar with the Rohinga or in China with the Uighurs right now. Srebrenica by Ratko Mladic.....the list goes on and on.
since i was in mauthausen at the age of 17 i'm an active anti fascist.
You are young
@@stevenbaer9061 I have mentioned it before, Hitler was terrible with his genocide, Holocaust but he was not the first.I had not heard before of Leopold ll of Belgium,But i still meen that to little is said about the genocide of the original population of the American Continents, especially the Caribbean Islands were no remain, and the USA were there are very very few, there has been an increase through immigration from Central and South America.Europeans used to say in the 1880,s in the USA a dead read
@@annenissen3055
I have a book in my hand 'King Leopold's Ghost' that I have read half of. It talks about how desperate he was for colonies since Belgium is such a small nation, he was overjoyed at being able to colonize the Congo. I am not sure I will ever finish the book as the amount of suffering is just too much to even read about.
What was done to the native population here on the North American continent is another atrocity.
I think it boils down to being lucky not to be born in an area that gets consumed with atrocities because human beings have an unlimited ability to destroy our fellow man. The list of crimes against humanity goes on and on and on.
How could anybody do such evil things to innocent men, women and children, its hard to believe how close we are to this recent history.
They dehumanize groups of people like how the left is doing in the US today.
A quick death = Mercy imo
YOUR CHANNEL IS BY FAR THE BEST.
My grandfather saw the camps when he was in the army and they were liberated. I cannot imagine what he saw, but he would have been angry as hell if he had found Höss and I am positive he would not have lavished kindness upon him.
My great uncle was in a Luftstalag for 2 years. He was shot down over Germany, and was a ball turret gunner in a B17. He survived by eating rats and snakes, for a little protein.
Exactly I think most squaddies would have been up for giving him a well deserved good hiding 👍,,,,,
Somehow I don't believe you. The camp was liberated by the USSR, not the USA.
@@peace-now There were a LOT of camps. I knew (they're gone now) several US soldiers who took part in the liberations of several camps and sub-camps, such as Buchenwald. The horrors those camp inmates spoke of were real. One of my friends was the guy on the .30 cal Browning in that famous picture of the SS guards trying to escape in the coal yard of Buchenwald. He had that picture on his wall in the nursing home and it was an 'original' -- stamped "US Army Signal Corps." You can see another copy of it on Wikipedia if you look up the Liberation of Dachau concentration camp.

Gtfoh with your gobbledygook
In the interviews with the psychologist at nuremburg he didn’t brag. He just stated the facts and was completely straightforward and honest. Same thing on the stand at the trials of the top nazis where I think he was just a witness. He didn’t try to hide or weasel out of responsibility like so many otherSS men tried to do. He simply stated that he bought in to the propaganda, like the rest of the SS, and thought he was doing the right thing at the time. And he didn’t just say he was following orders - he believed he was doing the right thing. And he excepted that he would be executed. He didn’t come across as some insane psycho. He seemed more like a misguided bureaucrat which is in many ways even more sinister.
This is spot on, all oppressive regimes rely on bureaucrats that love what they do once they bought into the propaganda. It would impossible to achieve the scale and efficiency of the horrors committed without them. This should a lesson to all governments into the future.

Don't think I've ever had less sympathy for someone getting tortured.
He complained about "mistreatment" while he was in prison? That's a sick laugh.

He had no right to complain about being beaten....
Evil can never be dead enough.
Any judge in his right mind would have told Mr Hoss what the soldiers did to you is nothing compared to what you did to thousands of innocent people
Sad for the people who died in this war all
While I was in Poland I saw where he lived inside the camp. Amazing how both the man and his wife had absolutely no conscience.
Hoss was following orders.I do not condone what that evil regime did but people need to understand that you did not disobey an order in nazi Germany,the consequences were drastic.
@@SteveSmith-eb6ze He loved his work and he went the extra mile to get the job done..

@@WillyEckaslikeeye queue? Yeah I agree 🫵😆
There are some small diamonds of justice in this world.
*Objection to your headline which wrongly states: The Torture Of The Commandant Of Auschwitz - Rudolf Höss, in 1945 this man fled Auschwitz and went into hiding whilst working as a farm laborer, his wife was caught and interviewed and was uncooperative insofar as she refused to reveal his whereabouts, a trick was played on her, she was informed the Russians were looking for both her, him & family, they intended handing her over to the Russians for interrogation, she traded his address and whereabouts to prevent this happening. After his arrest he was well-treated and was never tortured, he knew he would hang, and accepted his fate.*
He got less than he deserved.. Way less.
why the stress on the last word? sounds ridiculous
Arghhh I know its horrible
Very good historic summary and script but a little vocal coaching would be appropriate
Remember people, this kind of human are still somewhere among us, please have your eyes open! Thank you Britis for capturing him! Thank you for disposing him from this world!
We went to Auswitz and saw his house right there in the camp and the spot where he was was hanged. All I could think was good: justice served. But was it? For all those lives, the terrible suffering he metered out. No.. Whatever the British did, he deserved it and then some. I will never forget Poland. Everyone should go and feel the places, at least once in their lives.
No words can really express the absolute horror inflicted by these evil men and women - i can only agree with the vast number of comments already voiced.
Should've gotten worse
Absolutely!
It seems the new future Rudolfs are already born, alive, and well in all of Europe. It is frightening.
Great video but may I respectfully request that you do some work on the intonation at the end of your sentences. Thanks
Its AI
He was mistreated? Awe, that’s too bad
u would admit to killing JFK if u were subjected to what he was...its hard to believe there are such thick peoplearound
The cruelty at Auschwitz and other camps is beyond description. This is one of the few cases where a commandant responsible seems to actually have grasped the enormity of the crimes. It does no good to anyone, though. Such a horrible, senseless waste.
I still cannot understand how you go through a workday had a place like that killing people you have a break for lunch whatever and then you eventually go to bed go to sleep in your own house or villa and then you get up in the morning shower put on your tunic clean pants shine your boots put on your tie and hat and then go back out and kill people I still haven't figured that out
Through the power of indoctrination and propaganda you can convince people to do anything and be happy doing it.
Love studying all aspects of history.
Give my 3 friends just 30 days with this compromised soul. Hanging was just too easy. Imagine the pain he inflicted times seven.
OK keyboard warrior aka dog wankir

Beating? He suffered not one broken bone after beaten with multiple “axe handles”? Stop already
05:09 Except for a bloody nose he doesn't look that beat up. His nose isn't even broken.
THE ENGLISH SOLDIERS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEATEN HIM UP!!!
HOWEVER, HE SHOULD HAVE FALLEN DOWN THE STAIRS 8 OR 10 TIMES!!
@@rossbryan6102 Or have him light the crematorium ovens from the inside. 😶
He was badly treated by the British soldiers. He was thankful though he was not treated the way he treated the Jews.
But take heart to know that the british took the time to beat & whip Hoss WITH HIS OWN WHIP (that he used as commandant of Auchwitz)! Like they say, revenge is a dish best served cold!
they kept him awake by poking him with pick ax handles for days and made him walk around in the snow and bitter cold outside...far more effective than a beating...plus their biggest torture was threatening to take his wife and sons ration cards away leaving them to starve and threatening to send them to Star lynns gool lags..this is what really happened..theres actually a testimony in the Wrexham Leader by Bernard Clarke a sergeant detailing all this
This reinforces the scientific knowledge that torture is counterproductive to extracting truthful information. Humane treatment gives interrogators the opportunity to put the prisoner on their side, creating a collaborative atmosphere. Torture makes a prisoner tell the interrogator what they want to hear, truthful or not; anything to make the torture stop.
My grandfather, the son of a journalist and a British infantryman in Italy during the war used his leave to visit Belsen shortly after its liberation to see for himself.
Well, this does make you question the evidence he gave during the trial, doesn't it?
I don’t get this video at all?! All that happened is he got exactly what he had coming.
Don't you love when these people (I use that term lightly) had done such awful things to other humans and yet when they get caught and get beat up they say " It was more than I can bare". Really? What about the men, women and children you did that to?
A confession that is given under torture is hardly proof of anything. We all know this.
True but I'm certain that there was tons of other evidence, eye witnesses and so on.
@@jasonkinzie8835 There's really not, man. You should look into it more.
Theres a document appointing Hoss as commandant of Auschwitz. Thats all you need. Guilty.
@chandlerking9012 there really is a lot of evidence. Millions of Jews don't disappear into thin air. Plus, the nazis were so guilty on their actions. Blowing up camps, destroying evidence and taking prisoners on death marches to Germany. Why do that if you have nothing to hide?
Holocaust deniers and apologists for Nazism are the kind of people who would like to be given the opportunity to commit genocide again to preserve white racial purity. It suits their agenda to spread the lie that these crimes did not occur in the hope that we may sleepwalk into repeating them.
The Dressmakers of Auschwitz book talks a lot about him and his family I would recommend to read
You kind of glossed over how they found out where he was hiding. His wife was beaten quite badly, to the point it bordered on torture. But, that's not what caused her to talk. She talked after they turned the beating to his/her son. Thankfully, those involved still had the same "at all costs" mentality displayed during the war. Obviously, if they were governed by the pathetic mindset that perverts decisions today, he never would have been brought to justice.
No mercy should be shown to his wife and son… he slaughtered innocent wives with their sons and daughters daily….
@@Star-qh5wphis son was innocent. His wife not so much.
@@Star-qh5wp If you think that children should be responsible for the actions of their parents, then you pathetic little man
Frankly, any treatment he may or may not have received from the British was a drop in the ocean compared to the atrocities he committed.
Good, you reap what you sow
Ironic for a man who committed horrific crimes to complained that he was beaten! Didn't he think he deserved the beating?

The voice appears to be computer generated.
The fact they often skipped the gas chambers all together and sent people straight into the crematoriums is pure sick and evil.
First comment. Educational channel. Thanks.
Surely the brutal torture would never influence what he stated in his confession and testimony. That’s certainly never been the objective of torture…
Probably saw himself as a 'victim' rather than perpetrator of evil at the end of it truth be known.
he was a victim because he didnt do any of the stuff he was forced to confess

@WillyEckaslike yes he did. Commandant of Auschwitz. He oversaw genocide and he was found after he tried to run away from his crimes
May nobody FORGET
That awkward moment when you expect a fair and humane treatment even though you’ve committed some of the most horrendously vile war crimes known to man..
That awkward moment when you find out he was tortured for 48 hours straight to get a confession that should be inadmissible in any objective court of law……
@@jpbefree You really think they he wouldn’t have been convicted without a confession? As if the documented evidence and testimony wasn’t sufficient? That’s an odd take.
Also, imagine having any sympathy for one of the most notorious Nazi war criminals… not a good look.
@@jpbefreeHoess would never be found innocent. Auschwitz was there for everyone to see. Once they found the document that appointed him as commandant, it was done. The trial was merely a formality.

knowing how many of these bastards escaped justice, it warms the heart to know at least a few got to know the same hell they inflicted on others. may their victims at least finally know peace.
Mr. Narrator....are u aware that your videos contain information repeated and repeated in the same video.

Trans kill children then complain they are misgendered. Same evil new version…
There is a lot of what I call "Nazi porn" out there - horrors to shock that lose sight of the human. The tone of your videos is never vicious or jingoistic. You are obviously a compassionate and decent man and English which makes me wonder why it seems to be only Nazi atrocities that are presented. Respectfully, have you considered venturing into the REAL "untold past" - the atrocities perpetrated by the British Empire? It is your channel and I continue to be a fan for the WAY in which you narrate the stories with such reverence and respect: I would add that with such a tone your channel could truly advance the process of truth and reconciliation between the former British Empire amd their victims. Sometimes it is convenient to focus on the sins of others and reassure oneself their sins are worse than yours all the while hiding wrongs committed not just in the second world war but for centuries by focusing attention on those dramatic German monsters. You as always have my respect nonetheless. Not a criticism - just an idea. G
Agreed, the Germans suffered terribly during that war, even more after it was over and hardly anyone knows about it or wants to hear about it, 'they deserved it' they say, and nothing else matters. Until the allies admit their crimes, closure, trust and fruitful relationships will not be remotely possible. Most of the values that shape our lives today were forged at the end of WW2 and unfortunately, societies built on a pack of lies are doomed to self destruct. Great comment, thanks.

Bullshit
People that actually believe his “sworn” testimony will one day find truth.
He definitely got what he deserved. He should’ve gotten so much more. But then, the enormity of his crimes is too much to grasp.
Stop you're breaking my heart
It is clear that his remorse was forced upon him by his torturors. Would Germany had won this war, nobody would ever have heard of Rudolph Höss.
I read his book.he must have been confused as the figures he quotes are now known to be incorrect by 3 million. This begs the question why did he lie?
he guessed 2.5 but when he later did the math it just came to 1.1.
@@Ashalmawia I thought figures lowered after Zundel trial . If you look at the claims and the facilities that existed it is patently obvious story a fabrication. Because of these lies we are forced to open our borders to not be racist. Well frankly I could not care either way 6 million, 4 million, 1 million it had nothing to do with me then but has now.
Hoss was quite an interesting guy. His parents were extremely religious and from birth they wanted him to become a priest, he volunteered for the army and fought gallantly in the middle east and at the end of the war , despite being the youngest soldier took command of his section and walked them back to Germany. He was convicted of murder in the 1920s and it has been speculated that although he took the fall the real perpetrator of the crime was Martin Boorman. He wanted to be a farmer but his life took another track.
Indeed, there is always a man behind the public image, sadly most people can only see one aspect and in this case, it might be mostly ficticious.
@@rosesprog1722 it is not fictitious, Hoss did the job of camp commandant and was instrumental in setting up and improving the killing machine to the point that he readily agreed with the estimate of approximately 2 million or so murders.
At the end of his life he expressed no remorse for what he had done.
@@johnstirling6597 The plaque at the entrance used to say 4 million, a number the Soviets put there, just put there. Now, it's down to a million, ever since studies have been done the numbers keep going down, it was finally admitted that there were no death camps on German territory and contrary to popular belief, Auschwitz had a swimming pool, greenhouses, stables, a library, a theater with grand piano, a cinema, a hospital, hairdresser, dentist, sports events, orchestras, rabbit breeding, personal gardens, a kindergarden, schools, camp money, etc...
The preserved documents of the German Auschwitz camp SS administration show that a total
number of nearly 1,600 Polish political prisoners, over 200 Czechs and a few prisoners of other nationalities, including Germans and Dutch were released. Approximately 9,000 Poles, so-called educational prisoners (Erziehungshäftlinge) were also released: about 7,500 male prisoners and up to 1,200 female prisoners of this category - who the Germans imprisoned in the camp for two or three months...
@@johnstirling6597 Honestly, yes, a lot of people died at the end of the war, hunger and typhus, the allied pilots had destroyed everything that nade deliveries to the camps possible, and you also had overpopulation problems. By that time the Red Cross had representatives living at every camp doing their best to help and that's exactly what they wrote in their final 1948 report on the camps PLUS they calculated about 350,000 victims in all the camps for the whole war...
I forgot the chimney, built after the war by the soviets and of course, Hoss had been terribly tortured, he said he would have signed anything so please understand, I have a few doubts about those millions of victims.
@@rosesprog1722 Dear old Adolf cried when his dog was sick... Do you believe that he was a considerate, responsible, humane head of State ?
Forced "confessions" and lies.... one day the world will know the truth.
Great coverage and photos, why is it spoiled by robotic voice? Surely a real human can read this?
That is his real voice.
Wasnt he physically tortured in order to confess? Why wouldn’t anyone else confess to the accusations?
Read his book, he was very business like in his writings, and I think he saw that overseeing the camp was like a running a factory. i don't think he ever took part personally in any beatings, torture, or killings, however he saw nothing wrong with having his subordinates do the "dirty" work for him and his superiors! In a way he was like Himmler, being very business like in the killings of millions!
The guards avoided going in the camps as much as possible, there was a whole system of authority among the prisoners and usually, it was Soviet POWs who ruled, and they were brutal. So, like you I don't believe the stories that every single German that wore an uniform suddenly forgot everything and became the worst mass murderer the world had ever seen, that's just not possible.
dont waste your time..he was tortured threatened and and i doubt the contents are even written by him
@@rosesprog1722 I'm not sure where you're getting this inaccurate information but the Soviet P.O.W.'s did not run the camps,they were massacred by the Germans just as the Jews,Gypsies and mentally handicapped. The Germans hated the Bolsheviks as much if not more than the Jews.
@@YouDontTellMeITellU The Germans did not hate anyone, they were scared like hell of Bolshevism at their border and they wanted to take their country back from Jewish control, no one kills for no reason. Hitler asked Stalin for help with food for the Soviet prisoners, Stalin answered that there was no such thing, Soviet soldiers are either alive or dead, Hitler didn't appreciate. The allies were no better, check Operation Keelhaul.

🤥 liar
The older I get the more terrifying and genuinely absurd the Holocaust is.
As a kid I was always told about it. I grew older and learned more about it.
I’m an adult now, and the whole thing has a new, black hole of darkness. Shit was unspeakable.
Can you imagine a man like that complaining about his treatment?
My priest told me that he believes that Satan has left some particularly hot parts of hell to live for people like this.
He'd have to have a real bloody brass neck to have the nerve to talk about mistreatment
I lived in the Netherlands as a child.I saw so much of the suffering of the peoples,s suffering during the second world war still affected them 30 years years later,More than a hundred thousand Jews were murdered most in Aushwitz .I whent to an American International School there, Some of my friends there were Jews,My time there and my parents strong hate against all Nazis and Rasisesme has always had efekt on me.
The British Army's Pioneer Corps (it only became "Royal" in 1946) was the only one in which at first in which enemy aliens could serve, hence the large number of German and Austrian Jews (my own grandfather included) who joined its ranks.
Yes, and now Europe seems to be forgetting it's own History... can't make this stuff up.
After torturing him, the jewish butchers threatened to torture his young daughter and wife. In order to save them, he signed a "confession" in a language he didn't even know, i.e. English.
Hoss deserved it. He was the commandant of Auschwitz
His wife should have given him up. Can't hide mass murderers
@@AbdirahmanIdris-ku9xm
Where is the evidence he was a "mass murderer" ? I don't see any.
While in captivity he wrote an autobiography. It is all rather matter of fact. He stated that he acted the way he did because his sense of self worth depended on the approval of his superiors. Before he died he wrote to his children ...
'The biggest mistake of my life was that I believed everything faithfully which came from the top, and I didn't dare to have the least bit of doubt about the truth of that which was presented to me.'
