He Cried, Begged & Screamed: Execution of Nazi Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel

Описание: Wilhelm Keitel was one of Adolf Hitler’s most loyal commanders and the archetypal Nazi “yes-man.” Rising to Field Marshal and Chief of the Armed Forces High Command (OKW), he placed his authority entirely at Hitler’s service, signing criminal orders that enabled mass executions, reprisals against civilians, and the persecution of Jews across Europe. Keitel approved notorious directives such as the Night and Fog, Commissar, and Commando Orders, and remained loyal even after the failed July 20 plot, overseeing further purges. Captured at war’s end, he was tried at the Nuremberg Trials, convicted on all major counts, and executed by hanging on 16 October 1946—an end befitting a career defined by blind obedience and complicity in atrocity.
