The Nuremberg Trials - The Complete Proceedings Vol 9: The Case against Goering (The Third Reich from Original Sources)

This volume continues the case for Reichsmarschall Herman Goering, and features his personal testimony. It also includes the testimony of Colonel Bernd von Brauchitsch, Goering’s first Military Adjutant, who describes the treatment of ‘terror fliers’, and Paul Koerner, his State Secretary, who testifies about concentration camps, the Roehm putsch, and economic exploitation. Albert Kesselring, Field-Marshal of the Luftwaffe, recounts the building up of the Luftwaffe, the bombing of Warsaw, Rotterdam and Coventry, and the treatment of Italian partisans. Kesselring himself was tried in 1947, and though found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad, was later pardoned, partially due to the protest from influential Allied generals and leaders including Winston Churchill.
