The RUTHLESS Execution Of Hermann Fegelein - Hitler's 'Brother In-Law'

As the Second World War came to a conclusion in Europe, Berlin was falling to the Red Army. The Battle of Berlin had reduced the city to rubble, but inside the Fuhrerbunker was Adolf Hitler and the remaining elements of his inner circle. Hitler would decide to see out the war and die within his bunker in Berlin, and he was surrounded by a number of his staff still. One person who remained at the bunker for a while was Hitler's representative of the SS, Hermann Fegelein.

Fegelein through the SS had risen through the ranks and was an ardent Nazi. He was also a war criminal who during World War 2 and Operation Barbarossa would slaughter and execute thousands whilst he commanded a cavalry regiment. These executions would devastate towns, and after injury Heinrich Himmler appointed Fegelein as Hitler's personal SS liaison officer. Himmler was close with him, and Fegelein developed quickly a reputation within Hitler's inner circle. At the Berghof he was often surrounded by women who deemed him to be very attractive.

Eva Braun, (Hitler's wife) would manufacture a marriage between Fegelein and her sister Gretl, and with this Fegelein would become incredibly closely linked to Hitler. He was in a sense his brother in law. However during the final days of the Battle of Berlin, Fegelein would try to escape the Fuhrerbunker and flee to a different country. However Hitler would realise and would order his arrest and capture. He was quickly found and Fegelein was sentenced to death and was dragged out to the Reich Chancellery Garden above the bunker. Outside he was shot 'like a dog' in brutal fashion as Berlin crumbled around him.
