THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Nuremberg trials begin – 1945

Via History.com

Twenty-four high-ranking Nazis go on trial in Nuremberg, Germany, for atrocities committed during World War II.

The Nuremberg Trials were conducted by an international tribunal made up of representatives from the United States, the Soviet Union, France, and Great Britain. It was the first trial of its kind in history, and the defendants faced charges ranging from crimes against peace, to crimes of war, to crimes against humanity. Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the British member, presided over the proceedings, which lasted 10 months and consisted of 216 court sessions.

On October 1, 1946, 12 architects of Nazi policy were sentenced to death. Seven others were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 years to life, and three were acquitted. Of the original 24 defendants, one, Robert Ley, committed suicide while in prison, and another, Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, was deemed mentally and physically incompetent to stand trial. Among those condemned to death by hanging were Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi minister of foreign affairs; Hermann Goering, leader of the Gestapo and the Luftwaffe; Alfred Jodl, head of the German armed forces staff; and Wilhelm Frick, minister of the interior.

On October 16, 10 of the architects of Nazi policy were hanged. Goering, who at sentencing was called the “leading war aggressor and creator of the oppressive program against the Jews,” committed suicide by poison on the eve of his scheduled execution. Nazi Party leader Martin Bormann was condemned to death in absentia (but is now believed to have died in May 1945). Trials of lesser German and Axis war criminals continued in Germany into the 1950s and resulted in the conviction of 5,025 other defendants and the execution of 806.

You can’t be my age and not think back to that superb movie only Stanley Kramer could have made with the same title. I remembered seeing this movie for a college course in 1968. This part of the movie, a defense of the defendant performed by the outstanding Maximilian Schell and being taken aback. American industrialists had profited on the rise of Hitler’s Germany? That can’t be true. Hmmm, could it be that I don’t have the whole story. Shit no. There’s hardly never been a stretch of history so maliciously distorted as the story of WW2 told by American gatekeepers.

The Nuremberg trials were “show trials based on “testimony” that was extracted by torture.

Torture and Testicle Crushing at Nuremberg

‘..Apparently, as many as three out four interrogators at Nuremberg had been Jewish—and these Jewish interrogators, I was to learn to my horror, had been by far the most sanguinary and sadistic. There was almost no level of human depravity to which these monsters were not willing to sink, including forcing their German victims to eat excrement and to have sex with disinterred corpses. (See below)
Yes, so this is something we ought to bear in mind when watching all those Hollywood movies celebrating the heroic deeds of the Allies in World War Two and lamenting the horrors of the Holocaust : that Jewish interrogators, working for the Americans, are known to have beaten, tortured, and crushed the testicles of German defendants before charging them with war crimes at Nuremberg. Without these confessions, obtained under extreme torture, there is no solid proof that any Jewish Holocaust took place at all.’

Also, the eventual executions were a Jewish ritual sacrifice:

Purim – History repeats itself

‘..The Nuremberg trials were a military tribunal and thus the method of execution was usually by firing squad. The court, however, prescribed hanging. Esther’s request “Let Haman’s ten sons be hanged” echoes down the ages..’

Incredible Parallels Between the Purim Story and the Nazi Trials

‘..According to Dr. Moshe Katz of the Hebrew University, “The ten sons of Haman had already been killed, why bother to hang them? In the writings of the Sages and the commentators, we find several ideas that could clarify this: On the word ‘tomorrow,’ in Esther’s request, the Sages comment: ‘There is a tomorrow that is now, and a tomorrow which is later.’ In other words, Esther was asking that the hanging of Haman’s ten sons not remain an isolated episode in history, but should recur in the future, as well.”’

The victors write history according to their agenda’s at the time.

Later generations rewrite it according to theirs.

Nothing ever really happened.

You couldn’t be any more correct. Sighted by Jackson as the all encompassing Nazi crime was the initiation of aggressive war-who started the conflict? That was deemed at that time to be ‘bedrock law’ surpassing all other offensives against humanity. Until of course, W initiated war on Iraq and u.s. ‘justice’ officials along with their partners in crime ‘Lord Justice’ Blowjob in england raised nary a finger.

Justice? You mean Just-us. G. Celente

“Nothing happened”? You’ve got to be trolling.
There has always been victors justice. It is a way of cementing the victors dominance. It may not be right but “It is what it is”. WW II war trials were just a veneer put on to victors justice.

You misquote me.

On purpose to rewrite the history of only a few minutes ago?

When Lincoln, Sherman, Sheridan, McKinley, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, Obama, all their vice presidents, and all others responsible finally stand trial (even in absentia) for THEIR war crimes, we will know that justice is finally being served.

In August, TBP ran this commentary by Paul Craig Roberts, and I looked for it precisely because of the part where Hermann Goering made Robert Jackson – who later became a Supreme Court Justice – look like a fool.

Tyranny at Nuremberg

I will search for and read the transcript of Goering’s testimony.

In the meantime, any book recommendations for the Nuremberg trials? I am already leaning towards the conclusion it was a puppet show, but I’d like to read something that show that in specific details above and beyond Roberts’ solid essay and the posts of regular TBP posters (regulars I generally view as reliable).

EDIT: Paul Craig Roberts mentioned David Irving’s 1996 book “Nuremberg.” Anyone second PCR’s recommendation?
