Talk:Manfred Freiherr von Killinger

Losing his temper

Of possible interest, though I don't know how credible it is:

"German Slays His Staff: Von Killinger Said to Have Run Amok in Rumanian Location", The New York Times, September 8, 1944, pg. 8:

Madrid, Sept. 7 -- A diplomat just arrived from France told today of the death of German Minister Manfred von Killinger in the Bucharest legation when, after he learned that Rumania had declared war on Germany, he ran amok with a machine gun, killing attachés and girl stenographers.

Herr von Killinger formerly was German Consul General in San Francisco. Herr von Killinger, the diplomat reported, dashed down corridors and into offices of the legation, shouting: "We must all die for the Fuehrer," and firing the gun. One girl typist, it was reported, begged for her life on her knees while the Minister pulled the trigger.

He finally returned to his private office, faced a huge oil painting of Hitler and ended his own life.

Other examples of the loss of German composure were cited. Faces of diplomats and military attachés were drawn, and therea re frequent sudden outbursts or prolonged laughter, crying and shouting in cafes, theatres and restaurants, the diplomat said. Biruitorul 01:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It can certainly be cited as a rumor (it was made important by the NYT reporting it). Dahn 02:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Question

Of what I know. As Manfred Von Killinger, his brother and friend, Arthur Von Killinger - Kapitän zur See and officer in German marine - was married to a woman that came from a jewish heritage, which was spoken very silent about during second world war, though Von Killinger was a family in about onethousand years containing only Christians. I find it hard to believe the rumours about the incident about how Manfred died. True is, Manfred was not found of dictators, communism and neither Hitler, that took castles, money among other things from the nobilities. This is an issue, that I wonder WHY has not been mentioned earlier, the nazis did not only steel from the jews, and killed many of that population, including war crimes - the nazis killed many different human beings, of all kinds. But, when you read history - you will find out - that Manfred also almost got killed, by Hitler... And Manfreds very dear sister, Nanny Von Killinger - certainly was not a nazi! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladyoftruth (talk • contribs) 18:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
