During the period under review, the most significant progress in prosecuting Nazi war criminals has been made in Germany. This is clearly the result of the dramatic change instituted several years ago vis-à-vis suspected Holocaust perpetrators who served in death camps or Einsatzgruppen, who can now be successfully convicted of accessory to murder based on service alone. Previously, prosecutors had to be able to prove that a suspect had committed a specific crime against a specific victim and that the crime had been motivated by racial hatred to be able to bring a case to court.

LINDERT By K Lesli Ligorner Fetching the newspaper from your porch, you look up and wave at your elderly neighbor across the street. This quiet man emigrated to the United States from Europe in the 1950s. Upon scanning the newspaper, you discover his picture on the front page and a story revealing that he guarded a notorious Nazi concen- tration camp. How would you react if you knew that this neighbor became a natu- ralized citizen in 1962 and that naturalization requires "good moral character"? The systematic persecution and destruction of innocent peoples from 1933 until 1945 remains a dark chapter in the annals of twentieth century history. Though the War Crimes Trials at Nilnberg' occurred over fifty years ago, the search for those who participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution has not ended.

  • The Rote Drei: Getting Behind the 'Lucy' Myth
    The Rote Drei: Getting Behind the 'Lucy' Myth CIA HISTORICAL REVIEW PROGRAM RELEASE IN FULL 22 SEPT 93 SECRET A fresh look at an oft-told story. Mark A. Tittenhofer The reasons for re-examining the 25 years old matter of the Rote Drei and Rudolph Roessler—the "Lucy" of the Soviet espionage operation in Switzerland during World War 11—are not simple.* To be sure, Studies reviewers have pointed out that much of the public literature on the subject is unreliable. Concern for historical rectitude alone, however, would not justify the expenditure of our time and effort. The profession of intelligence may owe some duty to Clio, but it cannot be said to be the general one of cleansing all confusions and deliberate disinformation from the public record about intelligence matters. Apart from the possible substantive benefits of clearing up the story of the Red Three and its members, however, there are certain concrete circumstances surrounding it that ought to attract our notice. The first is that it continues to be treated as a matter of some contemporary concern in certain interesting quarters. The second is that the Soviets evidently think it is important. With regard to the first point, it is perhaps sufficient to recall that the 20th of July movement against Hitler—from which much of the Rote Drei's best information emanated—remains the object of deeply divided public feelings in both Germanies to this day. Moreover, for different reasons the Rote Drei is, as we shall see, regarded with considerable sensitivity elsewhere on the Continent, particularly in Switzerland.

  • Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context
    Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context Andrew Sangster Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of East Anglia History School August 2014 Word Count: 99,919 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or abstract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the life and context of Kesselring the last living German Field Marshal. It examines his background, military experience during the Great War, his involvement in the Freikorps, in order to understand what moulded his attitudes. Kesselring's role in the clandestine re-organisation of the German war machine is studied; his role in the development of the Blitzkrieg; the growth of the Luftwaffe is looked at along with his command of Air Fleets from Poland to Barbarossa. His appointment to Southern Command is explored indicating his limited authority. His command in North Africa and Italy is examined to ascertain whether he deserved the accolade of being one of the finest defence generals of the war; the thesis suggests that the Allies found this an expedient description of him which in turn masked their own inadequacies. During the final months on the Western Front, the thesis asks why he fought so ruthlessly to the bitter end. His imprisonment and trial are examined from the legal and historical/political point of view, and the contentions which arose regarding his early release.

    Zeitgeschichte – Hin-Richter | Meinung https://www.sueddeutsche.de/meinung/justiz-nationalsozialismus-widerst... 11. Juni 2021, 18:58 Uhr Zeitgeschichte Hin-Richter Vor 65 Jahren machten Justiz und Gesellschaft der Bundesrepublik ihren Frieden mit den NS- Tätern - auf dem Rücken der Opfer. Der Bundesgerichtshof attestierte dem Justizmörder von Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer ein "einwandfreies Verfahren". Die Folgen waren verheerend. Kolumne von Heribert Prantl Es gibt falsche Urteile in einem Rechtsstaat. Es gibt auch sehr falsche Urteile. Und es gibt fürchter- lich falsche Urteile. Vor 65 Jahren hat das oberste Strafgericht des Rechtsstaats Bundesrepublik so ein fürchterlich falsches Urteil gefällt, mit verheerenden Folgen. Die fünf Richter des 1. Strafsenats des Bundesgerichtshofs haben, elf Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, den nationalso- zialistischen Richter Otto Thorbeck freigesprochen, der kein Richter, sondern ein Hin-Richter ge- wesen war. Die Richter des höchsten Strafgerichts der Bundesrepublik hätten ihn wegen Beihilfe zum Mord und Rechtsbeugung verurteilen müssen. Stattdessen attestierten sie ihm, er habe ein "einwandfreies Verfahren" geführt. Er hatte Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer und vier andere Wider- standskämpfer zum Tode verurteilt. Der Freispruch des Bundesgerichtshofs am 19. Juni 1956 steht exemplarisch für das Versagen der bundesdeutschen Justiz, die Schreibtischtäter des NS-Regimes strafrechtlich zu verfolgen. Dieses Urteil diskreditierte den Widerstand gegen Hitler. Es machte die Widerstandskämpfer zu Hoch- verrätern. Die Richter in Karlsruhe hielten sich die Ohren zu vor dem Satz, den Generalstaatsan- walt Fritz Bauer schon 1952 in einen Gerichtssaal gerufen hatte: "Ein Unrechtsstaat wie das Dritte Reich ist überhaupt nicht hochverratsfähig." Die höchsten Strafrichter erteilten stattdessen dem SS-Sturmbannführer Otto Thorbeck, Mitglied der NSDAP mit der Nummer 4 358 937, die juristi- sche Absolution für seine Tötungshandlungen unter dem Mantel des Rechts.
