Barbaric execution of Nazi Germany’s General who was hanged naked with piano wire - Hans Oster

Hans Oster was born on 9 August 1887 in Dresden, then part of the German Empire. On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. Hans Oster initially supported the Nazi regime, believing in their promise to restore the glory of the former German Empire, elevate the German people back to prominence, and secure a dignified place for Germany on the world stage. Several months after the Nazis took power, he joined the Abwehr, Germany’s secret military intelligence service.The German invasion of France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands started on 10 May 1940 and became known as the Battle of France. These countries, along with France were conquered within 6 weeks. From early 1942, several military officers such as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg became convinced that Germany was being led to disaster and that Hitler's removal from power was necessary. After the Battle of Stalingrad in December 1942, despite his religious scruples, Claus von Stauffenberg concluded that the Führer's assassination was a lesser moral evil than Hitler's remaining in power. On 20 July 1944, Stauffenberg placed one of two bombs in a briefcase under the table in Hitler’s briefing room in the Wolf’s Lair. However, he was unable to arm the second bomb in time and after Stauffenberg left the room, the briefcase was coincidentally moved under the heavy support of the table leg. It detonated but failed to kill Hitler. This was not, however, immediately known to the conspirators. An ally at Hitler’s headquarters cut off all communication as Stauffenberg returned to Berlin to coordinate the implementation of the plan code-named Operation Valkyrie. At first, the plan seemed to go smoothly as the Reserve Army began to take action, but delays, confusion, and poor communication robbed the coup of its initiative. Eventually, the fact of Hitler’s survival was broadcasted, and the plot quickly unravelled.
