The Last State Funeral of the Third Reich Held May 15, 1945, One Week After Its Surrender to the Allies
Charles McCain writing on the funeral of Wolfgang Lüth:
Lüth was charged with securing the grounds of the Marineschule because of the unsettled conditions - to put it mildly - in the vicinity with released POWs, slave workers, refugees from the Soviets, and desperate humanity of all kinds milling about. With the permission of the British Army, which had just moved into the area on Eisenhower's orders to keep it out of the hands of the Soviets, the German sentries were armed. Everyone was tense, everything was uncertain, no one had slept more than a few hours a day for weeks. Lüth and the officers responsible to him in the guard unit took their duties very seriously.
While inspecting the sentries on the night of 13/14 May 1945, Lüth was challenged by a sentry. No response. The sentry, who was only supposed to challenge once then shoot according to Lüth's written orders, nonetheless challenged twice more. Receiving no response either the second or the third time, the sentry fired into the darkness and killed Lüth with a shot to the head. ...
In what I personally find sickening and inexplicable, Kapitan zur See Wolfgang Lüth was then given a full state funeral, conducted by Dönitz in his uniform of Grand Admiral, with an honor guard of six U-Boat commanders - five days after the Germans surrendered to the Allies. This last state funeral of the Third Reich was carried out with the permission of the local British commander. With swastikas abounding, the last tawdry spectacle of this criminal régime was conducted. On 23 May 1945, Dönitz and all members of his government, including the reptilian Albert Speer, were arrested by the British and the Dönitz government dissolved. ...
In July 1945, the German state was dissolved by an inter-Allied declaration. It would not be until 15 March 1991 that the four victorious Allied powers: Russia, France, Great Britain, and the United States would renounce all rights they had in Germany by virtue of the original armistice and of edicts issued by the Allied Control Commission after victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two. Only then, was the German state finally able to be fully sovereign on their own territory.
I almost never create remarks, however i did some searching and wound up here Tom McMahon: The Last State Funeral of the Third Reich Held May 15, 1945, One Week After Its Surrender to the Allies. And I do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it look like a few of the comments come across as if they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I would like to follow everything new you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
