The American judge, Edward L. Van Roden, one of the three members of an
American Army Commission set up to investigate claims of maltreatment found:
"all but two of the Germans, in the 139 cases investigated, had
been kicked in the testicles beyond repair. This was standard operation
procedure with our American investigators."
"Torture with burning matches driven under the prisoners' fingernails; knocking out of teeth and breaking jaws; solitary confinement and near-starvation rations. The statements which were admitted as evidence were obtained from men who had first been kept in solitary confinement for three, four, and five months . . .
"the investigators would put a black hood over the head of the accused and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles, kick him and beat him with rubber hoses . . .
"Low rank prisoners were assured that convictions were being sought only against higher ranking officers, and they had absolutely nothing to lose by co-operating and making the desired statements. Such 'evidence' was then used against them - when they joined their superiors in the dock. The latter were told on the other hand that by 'confession', they would take all responsibility onto their own shoulders, thus shielding their men from trial."
"A favorite stratagem, when a prisoner refused to co-operate, was to arrange a mock trial. In these, death sentences were passed, then offers of a 'reprieve' if he confessed. Sometimes a prisoner would be threatened with being handed over to the Russians, his family deprived of their ration cards - or worse."
Colonel A.H Rosenfeld upon whose rulings the admissibility was final, when asked about these sham trials replied:
"Yes, of course. We couldn't have made these birds talk otherwise. . . it was a trick and it worked like a charm."
"Hearsay evidence was admitted indiscriminately and sworn statements of witnesses were admissible regardless of whether anybody knew the person who made the statement or the individual who took the statement." - George McDonough, American Lawyer, New York Times
The circus aspect of these show trials was such that when a certain gentleman of the name Einstein tearfully accused a German named Menzel of murdering his brother, the defendant pointed out that his brother was alive and well, and sitting in the court. The presiding investigator scolded Einstein.
"How can we bring this pig to the gallows if you are so stupid as to bring your brother into court?"

THE WAR CRIMES 'TRIALS' ON TRIAL
"The Nuremberg Trials have made the waging of an unsuccessful war a
crime; the generals on the defeated side were tried and then hanged." -
Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery. June 9th 1948
"The truth of the matter is that not one of the victors was free of the guilt which its judges attributed to the vanquished." - The Chicago Tribune, October 2nd 1946
"In my Judgment, the procedure by which the Nuremberg Tribunal was created and the criminals trials thereunder conducted, was completely fraught with illegality." - William L. Hart, The Supreme Court of Ohio
"This kangaroo court at Nuremberg was officially known as the 'International Military Tribunal.' That name is a libel on the military profession. Nuremberg was, in fact, a lawyers' tribunal, although I can readily understand why the legal profession is ashamed to claim it, and deliberately stuck a false label on it.

"I am glad our real military men had nothing to do with the travesty on justice that the lawyers and 'statesmen' conducted on Nuremberg." - Rear Admiral Dan V. Gallery. U.S.N. (Ret.)
".. a libel on the military profession." - Vice Admiral Hewlett Thebaud, USN
"... a fantastic desecration of the ideals of Western Civilisation, and appalling miscarriage of justice... a misuse of evidence for vicious ends, all of which will someday be exposed as a shocking travesty of high legal and moral principles." - Henry M. Adams, Ph.D. Professor of History, University of California
In his book, Profiles in Courage, President John F. Kennedy praised
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, for having the courage to publicly denounce the
Nuremberg Trials and reveal them to have been held in, "a spirit of
vengeance, and vengeance is seldom justice. In these trials we have accepted
the Russian idea of the purpose of trials - government policy and not justice -
with little relation to Anglo-Saxon heritage."
"A step backward in international law." - Honorable Justice, Learned Hand
"A travesty of justice." - Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, U.S.N Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Asiatic Fleet
"...wholly unjustified and a disgrace to the national governments sanctioning it." - Rear Admiral Reginald R. Belknap, U.S.N. Atlantic Fleet
"Not in accordance with justice." - Hon. William Cosgrave, LL.D, President, Dail Eireann, 1922
"I could never accept the Nuremberg Trials as representing a fair and just procedure." - Dr. Igor I. Sikorsky, Aircraft Designer
"What we did in this case was to resort to private vengeance. Admiral Doenitz and other leaders who were imprisoned should be recompensed for their treatment." - - Dr. John L. Gillin, Emeritus Professor of Criminology, University of Wisconsin
"I have been boiling mad for years over the 'war crimes trials which I think were despicable and contemptible, and smack more of ancient Rome's barbarism than of a so-called civilized country. Not only were the 'war crimes trials' one of the blackest spots on our recent black (and Red) history, but the bombing of the only two Christian cities in Japan in August, 1945, via the atomic bomb calls to high heaven for retribution." - Taylor Caldwell, American novelist

My Heart goes out to all Germans brought to trial by the "glorious?" allies.. Their surviving family members who suffered the greatest loss to them my Heart also goes out to..
ReplyDeleteI cannot but agree. Look at South African Boer War women in cocentration camps by the so-called sivilized world of the British.
DeleteAnd Dresden bombings? 139 000 civilians fire-bombed...
Who is going to protest, judge and punish Israel? This state is actually systematically, killing thousands of people in the surroundings; Lebanon, Gaza, Jordania, Syria, Palestina and some others... as well as the USA armies have been killing Lybians, Somalians, Latinamericans, and muslims just for oil, Hitler was a Warrior and now is a hero, an icon to be imitated, He should have terminated the jewish people, but he did not...
ReplyDeleteThese trials were conducted by the same Truman administration who used Guatemalan peasants as guinea pigs for syphillis tests and did not give them medical help. It also did a devils bargain with the Japanese butchers of Unit 731 pardoning 2,000 of them in exchange for the data on their horrific human experiments. The Nuremberg trials are a stain on humanity.
ReplyDeleteES UNA MANCHA PARA ESOS JUDIOS HIJOS DE PERRA !!!! SE QJIEREN APODERAR DEL MUNDO MEDIANTE LA IMPLANTACION DE SU """ NUEVO ORDEN MUNDIAL "" APOYADO POR SUS LAMEHUEVOS AL GORE GEORGE BUSH SENIOR, Y BARACK OBAMA EN LA ACTUALIDAD. MALDITOS SEAN !!!!!
DeleteThe holocaust was largely against germany, the war was not started by germany. germany was not the agressor. there was no gas chambers, nothing even close to "extermination camps". its all lies and propaganda.
ReplyDeleteRight on bro!
DeleteThe honest "survivors" that Speilberg will never put on screen say they had "cantinas, a pool, soccer field, day cares, cigarettes, and they also had post cards and letters sent to them from relatives.
Delete"There's no business like shoah business"
It proves to me beyond any doubt that the JEWS ( I don't mean all JEWS)_have totally lied, cheated, and done much worse to gain power and influence others to their way of thinking. If that failed next would be the bribes and if that failed black mail, threats and so on. Now why would you need and use an anonymous profile? This is because anything said about the JEWS that doesn't gel with their warped, selfish ideal is classed as "anti-Semitic" that old chestnut yet again.
ReplyDeleteI have only recently learned of this whole sham of a situation from the complete Orwellian altering of history on our part to the `trials` themselves. Embarrassed, ashamed and confused having been drip fed lies for decades. The only people who are guilty are among us. The ones that are still harbouring the biggest lie in modern history.
ReplyDeletePatton was right, we fought the wrong enemy. And since the fall of the USSR with the knowledge of the suffering in the post WW2 communist countries, that truth should be universally taught in all schools. We have received tons of lies and propaganda about a non existent "holocaust", since the Transfer Agreement secret has exploded that lie. God will judge all the liars.
