First of all, we should look at those reactions that are based on too little information or on too superficial an impression. Some showed signs of indignation because Mr Churchill suggested military agreements (he avoided the word alliance) between Great Britain and the United States. But the New York Times and the Daily Mail report today that the British-American HQ has always been stationed in Washington since the end of the war. Its meetings are said to be almost as frequent as during the hostilities. Great Britain is represented there by Field Marshal Wilson, the United States by General Eisenhower.

  • "Fascist Criminals to the Gallows!": the Holocaust and Soviet War Crimes Trials, December 1945-February 1946
    "Fascist Criminals to the Gallows!": The Holocaust and Soviet War Crimes Trials, December 1945-February 1946 Alexander Victor Prusin Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Volume 17, Number 1, Spring 2003, pp. 1-30 (Article) Published by Oxford University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/43136 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] “Fascist Criminals to the Gallows!”: The Holocaust and Soviet War Crimes Trials, December 1945–February 1946 Alexander Victor Prusin New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology While the Nuremberg trials are synonymous with the punishment of war criminals, until recently little was known about the Soviet Union’s own con- current war crimes tribunals. These proceedings have been under-studied for two reasons: lack of access to Soviet archives, and the fact that the tri- bunals tended to function as political propaganda vehicles. Yet examina- tion of the court documents yields valuable information about not only So- viet legal practice, but also the genocide of Jews in the German-occupied Soviet territories. On January 16, 1946, the Belorussian Communist Party daily published an article en- titled “The time of reckoning has come!” It highlighted the commencement of the mil- itary tribunal in the Belorussian capital, Minsk, where eighteen Germans, from gener- als to low-ranking enlisted men, faced war crimes charges.1 The Minsk trial was but one in a series of similar proceedings that took place in several cities of the Soviet Union between December 1945 and February 1946. The trials were regularly reported in the press and on the radio, and attended by large numbers of spectators.

One country which did not fall into this pattern, however, was Yugo¬ slavia. She wanted to break completely with Moscow and to establish her own brand of national Communism, thus enabling her leaders to steer an individualist course in world affairs. Yugoslavia sought not only to free her¬ self from Soviet domination but also to show her total opposition to the Western Allies, especially the United States. The latter part of this objective became a unique area of conflict in the cold war. In 1945 Yugoslavia offered stiff opposition to Italian boundary settlements proposed by the Council of Foreign Ministers. Yugoslavia claimed the area of the Istrian peninsula, including the city of Trieste, as rightfully hers. While the diplomats discussed potential settlements, Yugoslav and Allied troops coexisted uneasily on the peninsula. Tension between the U.S. and Yugoslavia rapidly reached a breaking point.
