There are four reasons why people in the dock sit and listen to their prosecution: jointly planning or plotting to launch aggression; Crimes against peace; War crimes; Crime against humanity. The camera is spinning, the camera is clicking, and the fluorescence is flashing, making the face of the person in the dock look like a dead person.
Sir Lawrence said: "The defendant Hermann G?ring is the driving force behind Adolf Hitler's aggressive war." Goering established the Gestapo concentration camp, which was later handed over to Himmler. He signed the cruelest anti-Semitic law. "He instructed Himmler and Heinrich to completely solve the Jewish problem within Germany's sphere of influence in Europe." Besides, Dr. Lawrence added that he was a thief.
Goering's uniform is clean, but his head is drooping and his hair is neatly combed. Lawrence rubbed his fist on his chin when he spoke. Lawrence concluded that there was no commutation at all, and the court held that Hermann G?ring was found guilty on all four counts.
When Lawrence announced the verdict, rudolf hess refused to wear headphones and rocked back and forth in his seat. The judge said that the man's behavior was indeed abnormal and he had a memory defect, but there was no indication that he didn't know Jodl's hanged body, which was prosecuted by the court. Naturally, I can't defend myself. Nevertheless, he did not participate in the physical damage scandal in Germany, so the court held that he did not commit crimes against humanity. However, Hess was one of the veterans of the Nazi clique, ranking second only to Hitler and Goering. He also signed an order to disintegrate the Czech Republic and Poland. One or two reasons for Hess's guilt are planning aggression and undermining peace.
At the press conference, James O 'Donnell, a reporter from Newsweek, wrote down his impression of the defendant. "ribbentrop ... is the worst figure in the dock ... looks like a noose around his neck ... sweating like a pig." The court held that ribbentrop was convicted on four counts.
When keitel's name was read, the field marshal sat as stiff as a cadet. The judge read: "The crimes committed are so appalling and so many that even for a soldier, it is impossible to consider reducing the sentence when carrying out the orders of his superiors."
Kalden Bruner frowned, revealing the executioner's usual scowl. The judge read and proved that "he has seen prisoners executed in different ways: hanging, shooting, gassing ..." He was considered guilty on the third and fourth charges.
Nijichenko read out the verdict against Rosemburg: "He seized 265,438+0,903 works of art in the West", "plundered the raw materials in the eastern occupied area" and "cleansed the Jews in the occupied area". All four charges were established.
Hans Frank listened to Biddle's verdict with the curiosity of lawyers to track this mysterious case, and the case started well. "Most evil plans against Frank were carried out by the police. Frank was involved in Himmler's power ... Hitler was partial to Himmler in resolving these disputes ... Maybe there were some evil policies that Frank did not initiate. " Biddle continued to read, "but when he took over as governor of Poland, Frank once said,' Poland will become a slave of the German Empire'." Biddle continued to read that the defendant cooperated in every bloody policy. When he took over as governor of Poland, there were 2.5 million Polish Jews there. When he left, there were only 65,438+million left. The third and fourth charges are guilty.
The dull Frank served as the interior minister, trying to solve the problem of Hitler's German nationality. He committed three of the four deadly sins.
While Dr. Lawrence continued his sentence, Streicher ate gum slowly. The verdict quoted some passages from stormtroopers magazine. The judge said, "Lecher incited murder and genocide. Obviously, this constitutes persecution for political and racial reasons ... committing crimes against humanity, Article 4. "
When Nijichenko regained the impression of a steel box full of gold teeth hidden in the safe of the German National Bank, Walter Funk almost collapsed under the dock. However, "Fink was never an important figure in the plan he participated in", and the judge's words suggested that the sentence could be reduced, although Fink was considered guilty of all three charges.
When Donadi Devabrese began to read Deng Nici's verdict, Admiral of the fleet's prospects also looked brighter: "The court is not prepared to convict Deng Nici for his submarine war against the British armed fleet. He did not order the killing of shipwreck survivors. " The court accepted Admiral Nimitz's position in his testimony that the performance of the German navy in the war was no different from that of the US navy. Goering turned to 1946, and Goering of Nuremberg Tribunal lost his prestige. Turned to Deng Nici smiled. But devabres didn't finish reading it. However, Deng Nici let his German submarine sink anything that could be seen in its area, which obviously violated the provisions of the London Convention on Naval Battle. Hearing this, Deng Nici got angry. He turned part of the Atlantic into a shipwreck area; The United States has turned the entire Pacific Ocean into a shipwreck area. The French judge read on. Deng Nici also carried out "Commando Order", trying to build ships with laborers in concentration camps. He is guilty of counts two and three. His predecessor, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Lei Deer Admiral of the fleet, was found guilty of the first, second and third counts.
Just a few days ago, Bedell received a letter from Henrietta, the wife of Bauder von Hilach, which wrote in English: "Our children love America, and this is their grandparents' motherland. In the United States, they have beautiful fantasies about ice cream and Walter Disney movies. They are as familiar with the national flag and history there as they are with their own country. But now, do you want me to tell my children that it was this America that made your father die in the most disgraceful state that people did not expect? " When Bedell read the verdict, he could confidently ask, among the 60,000 Jews transported to the East by Schirach, how many children ever dreamed of ice cream and Disney movies? But this person is frivolous and lazy, not enough to be the mastermind. The court found him guilty of count four, that is, crime against humanity.
Bedell read: "Sokol argued that he was not responsible for the excesses of the slave labor program. He said that the total labor force to be obtained is determined by the needs of industry and agriculture ... He testified that he has always urged humane treatment as long as he has the right ... But there is no doubt, "the judge continued," Sokol is fully responsible for this slave labor plan, and he implemented it under cruel and tragic conditions. " Guilty of articles 3 and 4.
Jodl sat in the dock, and the court described in detail the crimes he committed when drafting the aggressive war plan and conveying the commandos' orders and the political commissar's orders. The judge finally said, "He can't hide himself behind the deceptive story that soldiers have to obey at all costs." Jodl is guilty on all four counts.
Konstantin von Neureiter, the predecessor of Foreign Minister ribbentrop, took a neat white handkerchief and helped the Nazis come to power. He listlessly signed the slaughter order sent to him by the SS stationed in the Czech Republic. The court concluded that all four charges were established.
Seth Inquart, a professor, as the supreme ruler of Germany in the Netherlands, killed 60,000 Dutch Jews, and he was convicted of three of the four charges.
Jackson looked at Speer, who was usually calm. At this time, he seems to be in pain, with a pimple on his face. Jackson believes that if he can acquit a defendant, it is this person. Biddle announced: "speer's activities are not equal to ... planning a war of aggression." Articles 1 and 2 are not guilty. As for the atrocities against soldiers and civilians, "speer knew that when he made demands on Sokol, these demands would be supplemented by foreign workers who were forced to serve ... He used the labor in the concentration camp for the industries he controlled." He used Soviet prisoners of war in the military industry, which seems to violate the Geneva Convention.
For Alec Neve, the court seems to think Speer is as guilty as Sokol. However, the court declared that "speer himself was not directly responsible for the implementation of this labor plan ... he did not gain administrative control over Sokol ... he was not directly related to the atrocities that occurred during the implementation of the slave labor plan ... he took considerable personal risks ... against Hitler's scorched earth." Speer is guilty of counts three and four. But the main responsibility for enslaving 5 million foreign workers falls on Sokol's shoulders. If someone proposes a lighter punishment than the death penalty, Speer has reason to hope.
Martin bormann was sentenced to death in absentia.
In the afternoon 1: 45, Sir Lawrence announced an adjournment. After lunch, they will have a meeting to study this sentence.
At 2: 50 pm, the door of the judge's office opened and Sir Jeffrey Lawrence appeared at the door. He nodded and the others took their positions. At the same time, Hermann G?ring, escorted by about two soldiers wearing helmets, came in through the sliding door behind the dock. Despite the powder, Goering was as pale as a dead man. Dr. Lawrence began to read: "Defendant Goering, according to the accusation of the criminal indictment that convicted you, the international military court sentenced you-"At this point, Goering waved Lawrence to stop talking. He said that his headphones stopped making noise. Two American technicians rushed to the dock. Lawrence looked disappointed: people tried their best to punish these people, but the solemn scene was destroyed by a wrong line. Goering said everything was fine. Lawrence began to read again: "The international military court sentenced you to hang." Goering took off his headphones with a straight face, turned to leave, then entered the elevator and disappeared.
Rudolf hess shook casually, staring at the ceiling, refusing to put on headphones again. "The court sentenced you to life imprisonment," Sir Lawrence announced. Nijichenko pointed out a different point of view, and he planned to publish it to the press immediately after the recess. In his article, he denied the sentence of life imprisonment for Hess, although he voted in favor. His Moscow emperor couldn't understand the deal made in the judge's office-but the vote was secret, and his fierce disagreement might keep him calm when he went back. In his different opinions, he abused several acquittals, especially schacht's acquittal. The article holds that capitalists agree to bear the cost of the war of aggression, and schacht is the most typical capitalist.
When Lawrence announced that Achim von ribbentrop had been hanged, the man collapsed like a zombie.
After hearing his death sentence, Wilhelm Keitel nodded rudely, as if he had just received an order from a subordinate.
"Toddurchdenstrang" (hanging), Kalden Bruner heard the verdict through headphones. The same fate fell on Alfred Rosenberg. When Bedell went to bed on September night of 10, Rosemburg's fate was still in his hands. The next morning, he voted to convict him.
Hans Frank acted like a sleepwalker. When he stepped forward, he bumped into a chair in the dock. When he heard his death sentence, he stretched out his hands and pleaded without saying a word.
William Frick heard the same verdict, but he was indifferent.
Julius Stretcher runs almost fast. He spread his legs and cocked his chin. Toddurchden strang was translated by Wolff Frank through a translation circuit.
The death list was finally interrupted. Walter Fink and Admiral of the fleet Lei Deer were sentenced to life imprisonment, and Admiral of the fleet Deng Nici was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
Italian fascist leader Chano was also hanged by the Allies. Henrietta von Hilach and Heinrich Hoffmann gathered at the radio in the witness hall to listen to the broadcast about the trial. Henrietta grabbed her father's hand when she heard the news of her husband's trial. "The court sentenced you to 20 years in prison, Judge Lawrence said." Henrietta cried and jumped up to hug her father. "He will live, no matter what punishment he is sentenced to, as long as he does not die."
The rest of the defendants stood in the basement and watched several sentenced people leave the elevator in handcuffs. Some people say nothing, while others curse their sentences. The release of two people in his position, schacht and Papon, strengthened speer's courage. He watched Fritz Sauckel get into the elevator and came back in less than a minute. His face looks like a frightened animal. Speer heard a guard talking about Sokol's sentence, saying it was "the death penalty". There are three more defendants, and it's speer's turn.
After hearing that he was sentenced to death, General Jodl tore off his headphones and swaggered in. Constantine von Neurath was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment and Artur Seth Inquart was sentenced to death.
Speer walked into the elevator, and Frances Bedell frowned when she saw him. In that sleepless night, Speer's fate was also in his hands. The voting result of speer's death penalty is still 2: 2, and Biddle and Nikitchenko are in favor of the death penalty. Biddle finally concluded that albert speer was soft-hearted, divorced from reality and had a tendency to worship heroes. So the next morning, he changed his vote. Sir Lawrence announced: "The court sentenced you to 20 years in prison."
Speer felt as if he had been saved from the edge of hell when the elevator descended. But his mood began to change when the cold handcuffs were put on his wrist and he was taken back to his cell. Yes, truth and confession succeeded in defeating the executioner. But what about 20 years? He became an old man before he was free. Schacht and Papen were pardoned. Lies, cover cards and concealment may be more useful.
In the sentencing room. Martin bormann, whose whereabouts are unknown, was sentenced to death. At this point, 3 15 days later, the task of the court has been completed and the trial of war crimes has ended.
There was a big fight in the news booth, and reporters jostled and grabbed the telephone and telegraph office. There was a bittersweet scene in the court: in a corner, people shook hands and patted each other on the back to show intimacy and smile. In another corner, people look gloomy and listless. Before the crowd congratulated him, Jackson collapsed in his seat, thinking about their achievements. Did they just crush a bunch of villains? Or have they contributed to human civilization? Do they attract the attention of future intruders? Or did aggressive humans not learn any lessons?
The jury has no clue yet.
