Gentleman Ost

Gentleman Ost (1898 - 1951) was a german general, a member of the NSDAP party and a loyalist of Hitler. He contributed significantly to war efforts on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union, with especially designated contributions to the recruiting of Ukrainians to the SS. Gentleman Ost was notorious for his seemingly strange name and extremely well-conducted military plans and strategies. On three seperate occassions Gentleman Ost led the SS to a victory against an enemy that is heavily outnumbering them. Gentleman Ost died in 1951 as a consequence of the Nuremberg Trials.

Early Life

Gentleman Ost was born in München, Bavaria to a family of press journalists. His father, Markus Ost, was a renowned journalist, mostly working in the sports sector. Gentleman Ost was supposedly named in such a way as a tribute to an old friend of the Ost Family who had never revealed his name, but saved the life of Hermann Ost, grandfather of Gentleman Ost, on two seperate occassions.

Growing up, he studied in the Bavarian University, aiming to follow in his father's path and become a journalist. He was drafted to the Bavarian army to serve the Kaiser during World War I, where his nationalist fever and interest in military tactics grew exponentially. Gentleman Ost fought on the front against France, first as an infantryman and then as a marksman. He often conversed with his stationed generals and near the end of the war, a recommendation for his promotion to Lieutnenant was given. Despite being on the losing side of the war, Gentleman Ost was promoted to Lieutenant in 1919.

Military Career Beyond 1919

Gentleman Ost involved himself in politics during the interwar period. During his time in Bavaria as a political activist, him and Adolf Hitler met. Since then, Gentleman Ost supported A. Hitler in the forging of the NSDAP and always remained loyal to the ideas of German nationalism. When Hitler was named chancellor and president of Germany, Ost was promoted to field commander and heavily assisted in the early stages of the creation of the SS. He helped develop a variation of the Blitkzrieg doctrine, Schnellkrieg, which was widely used during his time in Ukraine.

Gentleman Ost led SS Division IX for almost the entirety of the Second World War. Deployed first to Poland, then to the USSR, his name became synanymous with victory - Gentleman Ost had only recorded 7 defeats or retreats, 5 of which were after 1942. In 1941, he was promoted to Commandant-Marshall, and raised within NSDAP. Captured in 1944 by Soviet troops, he was tortured in order to extort information from him. Gentleman Ost lost both his legs and arm during interrogation, but did not give away a single detail.

Nuremberg Trials

After The Second World War had concluded, Gentleman Ost, or what was left of him, was summoned to the Nuremberg trials. He was sentenced to death due to usage of chemical warfare (later confirmed false). On October 8th 1951, Gentleman Ost was lynched.
