Question: What happened to the nazi soliders once germany fell in WW2!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
"God, I hate the Germans!.!.!." (Dwight David Eisenhower in a letter to his wife in September, 1944)

Eisenhower, in his personal letters, did not merely hate the Nazi Regime, and the few who imposed its will down from the top, but that HE HATED THE GERMAN PEOPLE AS A RACE!. It was his personal intent to destroy as many of them as he could, and one way was to wipe out as many prisoners of war as possible!.

The book, OTHER LOSSES, found its way into the hands of a news reporter, Peter Worthington!. He did his own research through contacts and reported in his column on September 12,1989 the following, in part:

"!.!.!.it is hard to escape the conclusion that Dwight Eisenhower was a war criminal of epic proportions!. His (DEF) policy killed more Germans in peace than were killed in the European Theater!."

"For years we have blamed the 1!.7 million missing German POW's on the Russians!. Until now, no one dug too deeply !.!.!. Witnesses and survivors have been interviewed by the author; one Allied officer compared the American camps to Buchenwald!." It was Eisenhower who murdered the 1!.7 million missing German soldiers by starving them in his death camps!. Some put the total Germans that Eishenhower was responsible for murdering at between 5 to 8 million!.

It is known, that the Allies had sufficient stockpiles of food and medicine to care for these German soldiers!. This was deliberately and intentionally denied them!. Many men died of gangrene from frostbite due to deliberate exposure!. Local German people who offered these men food, were denied!. General Patton's Third Army was the only command in the European Theater to release significant numbers of Germans!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Regular German army (werhmacht) were demobbed and went back to their normal lives!.

As for the SS, a lot of them emmigrated and helped out during the Cold War in the US, Britain, Australia etc!. They were fanatically anti communist and gave a lot of valuable information about the USSR's tactics, interrogation methods etc!. Others found a haven in many South American countries especially those with large German commuities or with right wing governments!. Still others with Nazi connections were recruited for their skills and lived openly in new countries, such as Von Braun, a rocket scientist!. Many people were members of the Nazi Party simply because it meant acceptance and promotion-non members were often under suspicion!.

The SS soldiers who were captured by the Russians were typically executed on the spot, so most of them didn't go home ever!. Other Germans and some of the SS went to POW / labour camps in Siberia for up to twenty years!. Most didn't survive, for example of all the Germans captured at Stalingrad less than 6000 returned ten years later!. The USSR wasn't a signatory of the Geneva convention so the didn't have to play "by the rules" re: POWs!.

Individual Jewish people and the State of Israel went looking for anyone connected with the Holocaust (eg Simon Weisenthal ) and often collected enough information to have them prosecuted, Mossad (Israeli Secret Service) even kidnapped a few to face trial in Israel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They almost all died!. During the last days of the war most of the German army were young teens and retired people, since the adult men were either dead by then or had deserted!.
The few remaining ones probably did some time as POWs and got released after the war!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many of them who were able to, ran off and scattered across the world (and many of them ended up in Brazil of all places)!. Unless they were caught (and many of them eventually were) they spent what was left of their lives in secrecy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you were in the Wehrmacht you could not be a member of the Nazi party!. The SS,and The Waffen SS were the Nazi armies!.

Most went to P!.O!.W!. camps,or were paroled to go back home after the war!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most of the normal men wh fought for their country because they were told they had to!? They went back to being the ordinary bakers and farmers they had been before the war!. They had not done anything wrong other than fighting where they were told to fight!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All of them intstantly dropped dead the second the war ended!.


what do you think happened!? They got new jobs and lived the rest of their lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
