Does anyone have information regarding the circumstances of Daluege's capture in Lübeck in May 1945?

[trespasser07]

Is there a transcript around of his trial in Prague?

Very interesting! Daluege is the Third Reich member I am very interested in and I look forward to reading an extensive text on him.

This is a great photo as well since I have never seen a detention card. They say Daluege was very ill during the last couple of years of the war and during his war crimes trial. Does anyone know the cause of his illness?

Best,

James

And in the last days before the execution,the illness was worsened,and went practically unconscious to the gallows.
In addition it's possible to see the hanging ,in filmed or graphic material.

Here is Daluege before the execution.

It was brought on by syphilis inherited by from his father. I'm not sure if this affected him during his imprisonment but he suffered two heart attacks one in 1936 and one in 1942/43.

From the manuscript of volume 7 (supplements and corrections) of "Die Generale der Waffen-SS und Polizei" by Andreas Schulz and myself in the chapter "Daluege":

00.03.1936 erster Herzinfarkt *)

*):
In der SS kursieren Gerüchte, das Spätstadium einer mutmaßlich nicht ausbehandelten Syphilis habe ihn impotent und geistig labil gemacht. Diese Gerüchte wachsen, als sich der kinderlose Daluege 1937 ärztlich für unfruchtbar erklären lässt, damit seine Frau einen Pflegesohn annehmen kann. Danach bringt Käthe Daluege drei eigene Kinder zur Welt, worauf das Gerede über die Impotenz verstummt. Aber die Meinung, Dalueges geistige Fähigkeiten seien durch seine Krankheit beeinträchtigt, bleibt immer noch weit verbreitet. (Cadle, S. 72).
Es wird auch eine Kausalität zum Herzinfarkt gemutmaßt. Unabhängig davon, dass diese Diagnose damals am Lebenden keinesfalls gesichert werden konnte, würde ein dies bahnender generalisierter entzündlicher Gefäßwandprozess in Herznähe bei einer latenten Spätsyphilis eigentlich nur im Rahmen eines die Lebenserwartung erheblich begrenzenden Multiorganbefalles zu erwarten sein. In diesem Fall aber würde die eindeutig ernste Prognose naturgemäß sofortige absolute Arbeitsunfähigkeit und dauernde Invalidisierung bedeuten. Die tatsächliche weitere Entwicklung spricht, wie gezeigt wird, eine andere Sprache.

Regrettably I have no time for translating in the moment
