Скачать или смотреть What Happened to Karl Dönitz? From Submarine Commander to Hitler’s Successor

When Hitler killed himself on April 30th, 1945, the Third Reich didn’t die with him. It passed to an unlikely successor: a submarine admiral named Karl Dönitz who never wanted the job.

For 23 days, Dönitz was the last Führer. He commanded surrendering armies, governed occupied territories, and signed the final capitulation. Then he stood trial at Nuremberg.

While other Nazi leaders were hanged, Dönitz received only 10 years in prison. He walked free in 1956 and lived until 1980, never apologizing, never admitting guilt, dying peacefully at 89.

This documentary tells the complete story: his revolutionary U-boat tactics, his devastating losses including both his sons, his unexpected rise to supreme power, and his controversial escape from the hangman’s noose.
