Execution of ruthless Nazi Guard at Mauthausen " Death Quarry " during WW2 - Johannes Grimm

Execution of Johannes Grimm Sadistic Nazi Guard at Mauthausen " Death Quarry " during WW2. Johannes Grimm was born on the 5th of December 1897 in Chemnitz, then part of German Empire. He was only 16 years old when the First World War began on the 28 July 1914. He enlisted in the army on 1 April 1916 and fought on the Western Front. By the time the First World War ended on 11 November 1918, Grimm had held the rank of sergeant and received the Iron Cross 2nd Class. When he returned home from the front he worked as a salesperson. In 1927 he got married and had one daughter. On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. In the weeks after the Nazis came to power, the SA, the SS, the police, and local civilian authorities organized numerous detention camps to incarcerate real and perceived political opponents of Nazi policy. German authorities established camps all over Germany on an ad hoc basis to handle the masses of people arrested as alleged subversives. The SS gained its independence from the SA in July 1934, in the wake of the Röhm purge. Hitler then authorized SS leader Heinrich Himmler to centralize the administration of the concentration camps and formalize them into a system. Himmler chose SS Lieutenant General Theodor Eicke for this task. Eicke had been the commandant of the SS concentration camp at Dachau since June 1933. Himmler appointed him Inspector of Concentration Camps, a new section of the SS subordinate to the SS Main Office. After December 1934, the SS became the only agency authorized to establish and manage facilities that were formally called concentration camps. After Nazi Germany incorporated Austria in the Anschluss of 11-13 March 1938, SS General Theodor Eicke together with several other high-ranking SS officers inspected a site they thought suitable for the establishment of a concentration camp to incarcerate, as Upper Austrian Nazi Party district leader August Eigruber put it, “traitors to the people from all over Austria.” The site was on the bank of the Danube River, near the “Wiener Graben” stone quarry, which was owned by the city of Vienna. It was located about 5 kilometers from the town of Mauthausen in Upper Austria, 20 kilometers southeast of Linz. The Second World War began on the 1 September 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. On 1 March 1941 Johannes Grimm came to Mauthausen to work as a quarry manager. When after the outbreak of war, people from across Europe were deported to Mauthausen, it gradually developed into a system of several interconnected camps. In December 1939 the SS ordered the construction of a second concentration camp – Gusen - just a few kilometers from Mauth Join World History channel and get access to benefits:    / @worldhistoryvideos   Disclaimer: All opinions and comments below are from members of the public and do not reflect the views of World History channel.
