Interviews With High-Ranking Members of the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht

Описание: Welcome to a historical documentary exploring exclusive interviews with former members of the SS and the Wehrmacht, responsible for atrocious crimes during the Nazi regime. This material is for educational purposes: it does not seek to justify, but rather to analyze how these men interpreted their role in the war and their perspectives decades later.

Rudolf von Ribbentrop, son of Nazi minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, recounts his voluntary enlistment in the Waffen-SS in 1939, motivated by patriotism and admiration for the military elite. He insists that he never witnessed war crimes and defends the innocence of his father, who was executed at Nuremberg. Otto Ernst Remer, commander during the failed assassination attempt against Hitler in 1944, justifies the invasion of Poland as a response to previous aggressions and denies accusations of the systematic extermination of Jews, attributing the deaths to disease and logistical chaos.

Wilhelm Mohnke, an SS general, described his unwavering loyalty to Hitler and rejected accusations of crimes in Normandy and Malmedy, dismissing them as Allied propaganda. Karl Wolff, Himmler's chief of staff, defended programs like Lebensborn—presented as a welfare initiative—and the Ahnenerbe—an academic project—denying their connection to atrocities.

These testimonies, contradicted by historical evidence, reveal how the perpetrators constructed narratives of denial and self-justification. The SS was condemned for war crimes, but their voices persist as a reminder of the dangers of revisionism and dehumanization.
