Well done sir, well done

Erhard Milch (30 March 1892 – 25 January 1972) was a German Generalfeldmarschall of the Luftwaffe who oversaw its founding and development during the rearmament of Germany and most of World War II. Milch led Nazi Germanys aircraft production and supply from 1941, after Ernst Udet suicide, adopting a policy of mass production and utilising the forced labour of foreign workers under inhumane conditions to supply the Luftwaffe. On 4 May 1945, Milch was apprehended by the British No. 6 Commando on the Baltic Sea coast and taken to the units command post of Brigadier Derek Mills-Roberts in Neustadt in Holstein, a man who was known to have a short temper. When Milch arrived, Mills-Roberts was said to be still seething from the suffering and atrocities he had seen during the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Milch reportedly addressed Mills-Roberts in a haughty manner, demanding good treatment, waving his Generalfeldmarschalls campaign baton around, and dismissing concerns about the inmates of several satellite Arbeitslager of Neuengamme concentration camp in the area. Mills-Roberts became so incensed with Milchs tone, the British officer snatched the field-marshals baton from him and began beating Milch over the head with it until it broke. He then grabbed a champagne bottle and continued, fracturing Milchs skull. The bloodied field-marshal was then pulled up from the floor and driven back to Sierhagen Castle where he had been staying, and robbed at gunpoint by British soldiers (which included his ceremonial jewel-encrusted Generalfeldmarschall baton). He was then sent to a holding camp for Nazi prisoners at Lüneburg near the field HQ of British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. A few days later Mills-Roberts went to the British HQ and, upon entering the commanders tent, Montgomery is said to have covered his head with his hands, quipping I hear youve got a thing about Field Marshals. Mills-Roberts apologised for his actions but no further action was taken against him. (Wikipedia)

Parry this, you fucking Nazi

My favorite part about WW2 history is reading about how Nazis were treated when they were captured. Theyre never quite treated badly enough, but at least its something.
