Walter Krüger & the SS: A Chilling Legacy of Nazi Atrocities

Walter Krüger & the SS: A Chilling Legacy of Nazi Atrocities

This video investigates the harrowing career of Walter Krüger, a high-ranking officer in the Schutzstaffel (SS), and his command of notorious divisions such as the Polizei Division, Das Reich, and the VI SS Army Corps (Latvian). As a military leader within Nazi Germany, Krüger played a direct role in enforcing ideological warfare, contributing to the Holocaust, and orchestrating war crimes during World War II.

By tracing Krüger’s rise from World War I veteran to SS commander, we examine how militarism fused with extremist ideology under the Third Reich. This video reveals how divisions under his command committed brutal acts across Poland, France, and the Eastern Front, and how local collaborators were instrumentalized in furthering Nazi objectives.

Through Krüger’s story, we confront the mechanisms of systemic evil, historical accountability, and the dangers of radical ideologies.
