Product Description
The Nuremberg Trials - The Complete Proceedings Vol 6: Occupation, Propaganda and the Russian Camps (The Third Reich from Original Sources)
This volume traces the ever increasing control over press, cinema and radio - the tribunal heard how the severest penalties for listening to foreign broadcasts were imposed, and how the Defendants, in what was alleged to be a 'collective criminal intent' used propaganda films, photographs and posters to foster persecution of the Jews in France leading to their eventual deportation and to the 'compensatory' murders in Denmark by terror groups.
In this volume, individual responsibility of Defendants for War Crimes in Western countries are covered including the responsibility of Rosenberg, Keitel, Goering, Sauckel, Speer, Seyss-Inquart, Jodl and Hess.
General Rudenko makes an impassioned opening statement on aggression as an international crime, crimes against peace, the execution of war crimes and the ideological preparations for an aggressive war whilst reviewing attacks on Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia and the USSR. Major General Zorya, also of the Russian contingent, questions Friedrich Paulus, German Field Marshal and Commander at Stalingrad on 'Case Barbarossa', the German military discussions with Romania, Hungary and Finland and the activities of Himmler's Secret Intelligence Service in preparation and execution of an attack against the USSR.
The volume concludes with a report of the German atrocities committed against Soviet prisoners of war including witness accounts of the system of orders relating to starvation, murder, branding, poisoning and the heinous camp regime and atrocious living conditions in which the prisoners of war were unlawfully placed.
