General Helmuth Von Pannwitz ,Born October 14, 1898 –murdered most foully January 16, 1947; a German General who distinguished himself as a Calvary officer during WWI and WWII; born into a family of Prussian nobility in Botzanowitz Silesia. He won the Iron Cross in WWII both 1st and 2nd Class. In WWII he was invested with the Knights Cross and reseived also the coveted OakLeaves. Pannwitz was instrumental from 1942 onwards in establishing Cossack volunteer forces, the XV Kosaken Kavallerie Korps (Cavalry corps) within the German Army (Wehrmarcht) which he then commanded on anti partisan duty in Yugoslavia. Because of the respect and understanding he always showed his troops Pannwitz became so overwhelmingly popular among his Cossack volunteers that, before the end of the war, they elected him “Feld Aataman”. That was the highest rank in the Cossack Heirachy, one that was traditionally reserved to the Tsar alone.
General Pannwitz surrendered on May 11, 1945 to British forces. His loyal troops were subsequently handed over to the Soviet forces by the British who were acting as they always have; as heartless, cruel, arrogant ,bastards. The gum chewing Yanks shared in this shamefull betrayel as well This is often referred to as the betrayal of Cossacks at Leinz. Most of them perished at the hands of the Reds (Soviet Smerch) or committed suicide to avoid being repatriated and subjected to torture beyond description by the foul monsters that awaited them. As Pannwitz was a German national he was told by the Limeys that he was not subject to repatriation to the Smersh murderers. None the less Pannwitz insisted that he would share the same fate of his men...
...and his fellow commanders, giving himself up to Soviet prosecution. He was heard to say, “These Cossack brothers of mine are the bravest soldiers and true comrades-“wither they goest - -there also I will go””.
He was publicly executed in Moscow on January 16, 1947, having been convicted of subversive and terrorist acts against the Soviet Union. In other words being an “efficient and successful soldier”, brave beyond words! Almost 50 years later on April 23 during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin members of the Pannwitz family petitioned for a posthumous verdict of acquittal of the 1946 conviction. The military high prosecutor in Moscow subsequently determined that no grounds existed for the original charges. On June 28, 2001 however exoneration was set aside in a ruling that disputed jurisdiction of the 1996 proceedings. Most think that the “traditional enemy” had struck again. Their influence is obviously worldwide! Helmuth v. Pannwitz was a hero of the West who tried to liberate a proud people of the east. The forces of proverbial darkness won that round!
In recent times & not long ago a monument to General V. Pannwitz and his Cossack soldiers that was in the courtyard of the Church of all Saints in Russia was utterly destroyed by human filth in an “ape fit” of wonton destruction.
This painting that was commissioned in the spirit of admiration for a brave warrior and martyr of the West is a fitting memorial to a man who in the religious world would be considered at least a saint in the tradition of Saint Michael . None the less he was a noble and brave soldier and a spirited dedicated European Hero , Surely the last of his kind

Yea, he is totally the most honourable soldier but not the smart one.

Butcher Churchill's Mass Murder
Of Anti-Communist Russians
British Gen. Alexander, a fervent Christian, refused to obey Churchill's direct orders to hand over anti-Communist Russian prisoners of war to Stalin after the war. Since he was too widely admired and respected to fire, Churchill moved him 'up and out' to be Governor-General of Canada, then proceeded to get his purposes accomplished. British troops were ordered to hunt down and shoot Russian prisoners who tried to escape their fate. Some British troops, weeping, refused to fire on the hapless Russians and were then threatened by their officers with drawn pistols and made to do so. All were then read the Official Secrets Act and compelled to keep their silence. To this day, the vast majority of the British public know nothing of this war crime - directly ordered by Churchill...

On June 1st, 1945 in Lienz, Austria, some 29,000 Cossack men, women and children being held prisoner by the British military were to be transferred into Soviet custody. Each of these people knew this transfer would likely result in their deaths. These Cossacks endured over 20 years of brutality, starvation and murder under the Soviet régime....

Initially relations between the Cossacks and their British captures were quite positive. British Major Rusty Davis who was assigned as the liaison office, developed an amicable and trusting relationship with the Cossacks at this time. In an interview conducted years later he mention how he would often walk though the camp handing out bits of chocolate to the small children. Rumors ran rampant in the camp as to what would happen to the Cossacks, some believed they would be resettled in Canada or Australia while other believed they might be sent to the far east to fight the Japanese. Many Cossacks believed the British’s initial promises that they would not be transferred to the Soviet Union. On May 9, General Von Pannwitz sent one of his aids with a letter to the British military authorities. In it, he openly expressed that “to hand the Cossacks over to the Red Army would have terrible consequences because the Soviet government had threatened them with textually exterminating them all as a race.”
General Krasnov and Alexander had known each other in the Russian civil war. Alexander still wore the Order of St. Anne ribbon he had been awarded by the White Guard General Yudenitch for his actions in Courland. If anyone could intercede in Cossack’s behalf, Alexander would be the man to do it. Unfortunately for the Cossacks, Krasnov’s letters were interceded and not sent out. Alexander was in fact well aware of the Cossacks and their situation and had requested direction from the British government on how to proceed. He didn’t wait long for a reply. On May 26th, Alexander was presented with an order from the highest levels of the British government that the “Cossacks, without exception, and especially their officers, were all to be handed over to the Soviet Occupation Forces.” This action was to be carried out immediately.

Good riddance. Such is the fate of all traitors.
When Major Davies was told about the order, he reportable broke down. He later confessed, “I literally collapsed; this went against everything we had been saying to the Cossacks. During weeks . I explained to my chief I have been a friend of the Cossacks, I have served as guide and counselor, I have answered their questions and calmed their feelings of uneasiness, assuring them that nobody was thinking about repatriating them by force.” Davies was sickened by the order and he resigned his commission however, the resignation was refused.

Why was he the most honorable? Just because he froze his face off to not feel snow and never taste pussy again?
Actually , good point.
Brits are island Jews. They will always betray and undermine every other nation in the hopes that whatever shit happens they will escape it on their Island.
At the completion of the service, the men were ordered onto the trucks. The boarding did not go smoothly as many of the officers refused to board. The British guards ended up resorting to violence, using their rifle butts to force the Cossacks into the waiting trucks. Many were badly bludgeoned, and more then a few were unceremoniously tossed into the trucks. Some jumped out of the transports and were then beaten to unconsciousness by their British guards, and then thrown back into the truck. At least two officers were killed in the scuffle. General Krasnov, who had a heart attack the night before, had to be carried onto one of the trucks. He reportable ripped the British military cross that he had been decorated with in the Civil war from his tunic and dropped it in the mud; without a doubt a symbolic gesture to the betrayal he felt from his former British allies he had once fought alongside
can't say I don't sympathize but they didn't fight against communism, they fought so Germans could enslave their people, in reality

The British guards were mostly Scottish highlanders drawn from Y company, 8th Argyle, and Sutherland regiment. While some of the guards carried out their assigned duty with reckless abandoned, other were sickened by what they had done. The Catholic Chaplain of an Irish Regiment who watched the situation unfold later said what happened was “shameful.” He remembers watching some guards crying as they pushed the Cossacks with the rifles. “This was certainly,” he added, “the very first time I saw a highlander crying. I personally proved,” he confesses, “how many soldiers were morally broken.” A few of the guards did in fact try to do something about what was happening. Some took it upon themselves to help the prisoners escape, even going so far as to pull families off the transports. Not surprisingly some of the guards were near mutiny and refused to participate. The London Irish regiment who had been ordered to take part stood down perhaps sympathizing with the Cossacks having a history of repression in their own background. Major Davies later said of the affair, “The Cossacks could have lynched me. Instead, they didn’t want to believe me… they implored me. They continued trusting in me. That was horrible. I remember all of it with true horror. It was truly a diabolic plan.”
When the officers did not return as their British captors had promised the remaining enlisted men, NCOs, elderly, women and children knew something was terribly wrong. Their fears would be conformed The following morning ...
the clergy set up an alter and surrounded it with Russian orthodox icons and began a prayer service. The Cossack women, children, and elderly surrounded the alter and their priests. While the Cossack NCOs and enlisted men linked elbows and formed a protective ring around them. They may have believed that by the show of religious devotion and unity the British may rethink the transfer. What may be more likely is that this was a last desperate appeal for divine intervention when all other hope was lost. The British guard initially stood down and allowed the prayers to continue. When what was supposed to have been a brief mass, turned into much longer affair. The guards, perhaps tired of waiting, decided to act by first ordering the Cossacks to board the waiting transports; however, the prayers and service continued. When the guards saw that no one was moving toward the transports, force was employed. The guarded moved toward the Cossack men who stared back defiantly at them with their arms tightly linked. The guards moved forward some brandished their Enfield rifles with fixed spike bayonets, others swung pick-axe helves. When the Cossacks saw the armed guards approaching, they began to chant in unison, “Move back, Satan! Christ has risen from the dead! Lord, have mercy!” The chant had little affect, with a few bayonet jabs, rifle butt, and truncheon bashes the British guards managed to break the protective circle the Cossack men and placed around their women and children. When the line broke panic quickly spread amongst the prisoners. With over 20,000 people fearing for their lives the guards no doubt realized that they had the potential full scale riot. At least a few of the guards fired rounds into the crowd.
