Description

This volume covers the trial of Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Foreign Minister of the Third Reich, a man who remained fanatically loyal to Hitler right until the end, saying that “Even with all I know, if in this cell Hitler should come to me and say ‘Do This!’, I would still do it.” It also contains the testimonies of many eye-witnesses, among those, the Ernst Wilhelm Bohle, a high-ranking member of the SS, who was tried in the subsequent “Ministries Trial” for the less important and influential figures of the Nazi Party. Additionally, the testimony of Karl Stroelin, the mayor of Stuttgart was put forth in this trial. Stroelin was involved in the deportation of 2,000 Jews from Stuttgart, the majority of whom were murdered in the death camps, and was thus found guilty in the trial, though he went through de-Nazification and was later released.
