Hans Frank: Praise Hitler Speech

Hans Michael Frank NSDAP Governor-General Praises Hitler, And Hitler really couldn't care less after all it does it tiring after all. Hans Frank Fate: The former Governor-General of Poland was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity on October 1, 1946, and was sentenced to death by hanging. While awaiting execution, he wrote his memoirs. The sentence was carried out on October 16. Journalist Howard K. Smith wrote of the execution: Hans Frank was next in the parade of death. He was the only one of the condemned to enter the chamber with a smile on his countenance. Although nervous and swallowing frequently, this man, who claimed to have returned to his childhood Catholic faith after his arrest, gave the appearance of being relieved at the prospect of atoning for his evil deeds. He was the only one to apparently show any remorse for his war crimes during World War Two. "My conscience does not allow me simply to throw the responsibility simply on minor people...A thousand years will pass and still Germany's guilt will not have been erased." He answered to his name quietly and when asked for any last statement, he replied "I am thankful for the kind treatment during my captivity and I ask God to accept me with mercy."
