The Firing Squad Execution of General Dostler - Warning Graphic Images
In the first Allied war trial after the war, German General Anton Dostler was tried in Rome and found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to death. This remarkable footage, taken from several angles, shows General Dostler's last minutes before he met his death by firing squad on Dec 1st, 1945. Dostler was accused of carrying out an illegal order: the execution of fifteen men of the U.S. Army. They had posed as Italian civilians in March 1944 after they landed on the Italian coast about 100 kilometers north of La Spezia, Italy. Their mission was to demolish a railroad tunnel between La Spezia and Genoa. Two days later, the group was captured by a party of Italian Fascist soldiers and members of the German army. The captured U.S. soldiers were interrogated and one of the U.S. officers revealed the story of the mission. This information was then sent to Dostler at the 75th German Army Corps. The following day (March 25), Dostler sent a telegram to the 135th Fortress Brigade ordering that the captured soldiers be executed. The 15 Americans were executed on the morning of March 26.
