About this title

Synopsis

"All efforts to save survivors of sunken ships, such as the fishing out of swimming men, must stop." Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, 1942 This is the fourth volume in the complete proceedings of the Nuremberg trial of the German major war criminals before the International Military Tribunal sitting at Nuremberg, Germany. Taken from the original court transcript this volume covers the proceedings from 7th-19th January 1946 and represents an essential primary source for scholars and general readers alike. The transcripts are complete and contain the whole of the proceedings as taken from the original court documents. This volume presents the case against the individual responsibility of the defendants and includes the official Nazi policy towards captured POWs, partisans and victims of the U-boat attacks, forced labour camps and the suppression of the Church. It includes the testimony of Dr Franz Blaha, a Czech prisoner at Dachau concentration camp who performed hundreds of autopsies on the victims of medical experiments, Karl-Heinz Moehle, a U-boat commander and Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, an SS-Obergruppenführer, responsible for the murder of 35,000 civilians in Riga and more than 200,000 in Belarus and eastern Poland. Originally published under the authority of H.M. Attorney-General by His Majesty's Stationery Office London in 1946, this new edition includes an introduction by Emmy Award Winning Writer and Historian Bob Carruthers. This book is part of 'The Third Reich from Original Sources' series, a new military history range compiled and edited by Emmy AwardTM winning author and historian Bob Carruthers. The series draws on primary sources and contemporary documents to provide a new insight into the true nature of Hitler's Third Reich.
