The Nuremberg Trials were held by the four victorious Allied forces of Great Britain, the USA, France and the USSR in the Palace of Justice, Nuremberg from November 1945 to October 1946. Famous for prosecuting the major German war criminals, they also tried the various groups and organisations that were at the heart of Nazi Germany.
This fascinating volume is concerned with the trial of the SS and includes all the testimony from the Nuremberg Trials regarding this enormous organisation, including the original indictment, the criminal case put forward for the SS, the closing speeches by the prosecution and defence and the final judgment.
Former SS members often wondered why they were charged as war criminals when they just performed their “normal” duty. The Military Tribunal at Nuremberg was to attempt to answer that question.
The witnesses called for the trial of the SS include Freidrich Karl von Eberstein, an early member of the Nazi Party, the SA, and the SS, Paul Hausser, one of the most eminent leaders of the Waffen-SS who vehemently defended their military role in the war, Georg Konrad Morgen, a former SS judge, and Wolfram Sievers, the Reich manager of the Ahnenerbe.
Features 40 war time photographs and charts.

It's quite a heavy read. Lots of reference to this and cross reference to that as the trial progresses. Very factual. I enjoyed it. My eyes were opened both to the enormity of the SS and it's intricacy. It's would be easy to criticize the trial but hindsight is a wonderful gift that the allies did not possess then. We have many more facts and are aware of allot more now than they were then. The preparation involved in bringing the SS to trial must have been enormousness. The fact that they managed to find these witnesses at all astounds me. I think the SS we there own worst enemy. The records they kept on themselves were enough to put the hangman's noose around their neck. As to the different organizations within the SS it's complicated. I am sure that the witnesses called were worried about their own fate. I am not sure if we will ever know fully who knew what and who did not.Product details
