It is also linked with the trials where leading representatives of the Nazi regime had to answer for their crimes in an international court of justice. Between 20 November, 1945, and 1 October, 1946, the International Military Tribunal’s trial of the main war criminals (IMT) was held in Court Room 600 at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. Between 1946 and 1949, twelve follow-up trials were also held here. Those tried included high- ranking representatives of the military, administration, medical profession, legal system, industry Press Release and politics. History Two years after Germany had unleashed World War II on 1 September, 1939, leading politicians and military staff of the anti-Hitler coalition started to consider bringing to account those Germans responsible for war crimes which had come to light at that point. The Moscow Declaration of 1943 and the Conference of Yalta of February 1945 confirmed this attitude. Nevertheless, the ideas – Presseinformation concerning the type of proceeding to use in the trial were extremely divergent. After difficult negotiations, on 8 August, 1945, the four Allied powers (USA, Britain, France and the Soviet Union) concluded the London Agreement, on a "Charter for The International Military Tribunal", providing for indictment for the following crimes in a trial based on the rule of law: 1.

Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group
HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY OF INTEREST TO THE NAZI WAR CRIMES AND JAPANESE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS INTERAGENCY WORKING GROUP The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library holds a large quantity of documentation relating to World War II and to the Cold War era. Information relating to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and by the Japanese Government during World War II can be found widely scattered within the Library’s holdings. The Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group is mandated to identify, locate and, as necessary, declassify records pertaining to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and Japan. In order to assist the Interagency Working Group in carrying out this mission, the Library staff endeavored to identify historical documentation within its holdings relating to this topic. The staff conducted its search as broadly and as thoroughly as staff time, resources, and intellectual control allowed and prepared this guide to assist interested members of the public in conducting research on documents relating generally to Nazi and Japanese war crimes. The search covered post- war references to such crimes, the use of individuals who may have been involved in such crimes for intelligence or other purposes, and the handling of captured enemy assets. Therefore, while much of the documentation described herein was originated during the years when the United States was involved in World War II (1939 to 1945) one marginal document originated prior to this period can be found and numerous post-war items are also covered, especially materials concerning United States handling of captured German and Japanese assets and correspondence relating to clemency for Japanese soldiers convicted and imprisoned for war crimes.

2Nd INFANTRY REGIMENT
2nd INFANTRY REGIMENT 1110 pages (approximate) Boxes 1243-1244 The 2nd Infantry Regiment was a component part of the 5th Infantry Division. This Division was activated in 1939 but did not enter combat until it landed on Utah Beach, Normandy, three days after D-Day. For the remainder of the war in Europe the Division participated in numerous operations and engagements of the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe campaigns. The records of the 2nd Infantry Regiment consist mostly of after action reports and journals which provide detailed accounts of the operations of the Regiment from July 1944 to May 1945. The records also contain correspondence on the early history of the Regiment prior to World War II and to its training activities in the United States prior to entering combat. Of particular importance is a file on the work of the Regiment while serving on occupation duty in Iceland in 1942.

Education About Asia Interview with John Dower
Handout (5 pages) Education About Asia Interview with John Dower Interviewed by Lynn Parisi MIT Professor John Dower has written numerous publications about modern Japanese history and US-Japan relations. Lynn Parisi is the director of the Program for Teaching East Asia at the University of Colorado Boulder. Lynn Parisi: John, thank you for doing a second interview for Education about Asia. Yours has been a major voice in the discourse on Hiroshima for many years, and we appreciate your contributions to this EAA special section marking the sixtieth anniversary of the atomic bombings. Since the early postwar period, much of American discourse regarding Hiroshima has been framed by the question of whether the bomb was necessary, a discussion revisited in this issue of EAA. Because lessons on the “decision to drop the bomb” are a staple of many American history classrooms, this enduring controversy seems a good place to begin our conversation. Briefly, can you discuss how the dialogue over this question has evolved over time? Why has this question persisted in academic and public debate? John Dower: Immediately after WWII, it was understandably argued that the bombs were necessary to end the war quickly—that is, without dropping the bombs in August 1945, the United States would have had to invade Japan, at an enormous cost in American lives. Thus the famous phrase: “Thank God for the atomic bomb.” Then, people added to this that the bombs didn’t just save American lives, they saved Japanese lives as well because invasion would have meant enormous losses in Japan.

Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations
United Nations Audiovisual Library of International Law CONVENTION ON THE PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES OF THE UNITED NATIONS At the United Nations Conference on International Organization, held in San Francisco from 25 April to 26 June 1945 (see procedural history of the Charter of the United Nations), the Rapporteur of Technical Committee 2 (Legal Problems) of Commission IV (Judicial Organization) had pointed out that “the possibility is not excluded of a general convention to be submitted to all Members” on the privileges and immunities of the future United Nations Organization (restricted doc. 933 (English) IV/2/42 (2), p. 2). The Executive Committee of the Preparatory Commission (established by the San Francisco Conference to make provisional arrangements for the initiation of the work of the Organization) recommended, in its final report, that the Preparatory Commission refer to the future General Assembly for its consideration a study on privileges and immunities attached to the report (PC/EX/113/Rev.1, Part III, Chapter V, Section 5, p.69 and Appendix in ibid.). The Preparatory Commission remitted this part of the report to its Committee 5 (Legal Committee), which was instructed to “consider and report to the Preparatory Commission on Chapter V of the Report of the Executive Committee and on any proposals or amendments submitted by Delegations on matters falling within the scope of Chapter V” (see Memorandum by the Executive Secretary on the organization of the work of the Second Session of the Preparatory Commission, PC/EX/138/Rev.1, p. 17). Committee 5 held its first meeting on 27 November 1945 (see summary record.

Witness to Barbarism to Barbarism Witness WITNESSWITNESSWITNESSWITNESSWITNESS TOTOTOTOTO orace R. Hansen wrote long letters to family and friends about Hhis experiences following the Allied front through Europe dur- ing World War II. He spoke with many people whose lives were dis- rupted by war. He witnessed the opening of the barn near Gardelegen BARBARISMBARBARISMBARBARISMBARBARISMBARBARISM where the Nazis burned more than 300 slave laborers alive to hide them from approaching Allied troops. He served as chief prosecutor R. Hansen Horace at the Dachau war-crimes trials, where he also conducted interviews of five of Adolph Hitler’s war-conference recorders. After his return from Europe, Hansen conducted a private law practice in St. Paul, Minnesota, for more than 50 years. He worked to advance the cause of justice by seeking to better the lot of the com- mon man, often favoring the side of David against Goliath. Among his many legal contributions was establishment of the first health- maintenance organization in Minnesota—Group Health. In his later years, Hansen prepared a manuscript, using the let- ters he wrote home during the war as one source. After his death in 1995, Hansen’s wife, then his daughters, sought its publication. Wit- ness to Barbarism is a unique and powerful story including eyewitness material on Hitler and his obsession, written in the hope that what happened then will never happen again.

Allied Relations and Negotiations with Sweden A
Allied Relations and Negotiations With Sweden A. The Allies and Sweden's Wartime Neutrality The geography of Sweden's wartime position, surrounded by German armed forces in Norway, Denmark, and Finland and cut off by the blockade imposed by both the Germans and the Allies, shaped the character of its neutrality stance and the Allies' economic warfare policies alike. Until 1943, Allied economic relations with Sweden were regulated by the Anglo-Swedish War Trade Agreement of December 1939, as modified to respond to the changing military situation in Scandinavia. The December 1939 agreement, in which both countries undertook to maintain the exchange of goods at the normal level (i.e., that of 1938), had two main provisions: Britain would not impede Swedish imports of reasonable quantities of commodities, and Sweden promised not to re-export certain specified goods and to maintain its total exports to Germany at 1938 levels. During the first several years of the War, Britain was satisfied that Sweden honored the terms of the 1939 trade agreement. German occupation of Denmark and Norway in April 1940 made the threat of German invasion of Sweden real. Sweden's neutrality was confirmed and defined by an exchange of letters between King Gustav and Adolf Hitler that same month. Swedish wartime diplomacy sought to ward off German invasion by adopting a neutrality that sacrificed some of Sweden's independence and made significant concessions to Germany. While the Allies understood Sweden's strategic plight and were sympathetic to a fellow democracy, concern persisted over Sweden's contribution to Germany's war effort.
