The BRUTAL Execution Of August Dickmann - The First Conscientious Objector Executed During WW2
Показать описание
During the Second World War, the pride to fight for your country was instilled by different nations. For the Allies, they wished to end the tyranny of the Nazi Regime and Hitler, but the Germans conscripted millions of people into the army to fight for the Nazi Party. But there were a number of people who refused to fight based on their religious beliefs or opinions. Famously, Desmond Doss was a stretcher bearer who refused to take up arms but heroically performed his duties under enemy fire at Hacksaw Ridge. But there was one man living within Nazi Germany who continually refused to fight as he was a Jehovah's Witness. August Dickmann became the first person executed by the Nazis for being a conscientious objector.
Within the walls of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, Dickmann was brought out after his death sentence was confirmed by Heinrich Himmler to a clearing where a firing range had been made. He was shot by a firing squad in a bloody act of murder and was given a coup de grace by Rudolf Hoess, who later went on to be the evil commandant of Auschwitz. Dickmann's execution was greatly shocking, as it showed that the Nazis were willing to kill anyone who did not willingly conform to their policies and pick up arms to fight.
