- Nuremberg Sentences - Alec Baldwin (2000)
The London Agreement, which was signed by Great Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union on August 8, 1945, established the procedures for the IMT and was intended to ensure that nearly all German citizens learned about the trial. This document required each occupying power to publicize information about the trial within their respective zone of occupation in Germany. The London Agreement mandated that news of the tribunal be published and broadcast throughout Germany, going so far as to make provisions for German prisoners to receive news of the trial proceedings. To fulfill these requirements, American authorities reestablished a German press to report on the proceedings at Nuremberg, erected billboards depicting photographs of Nazi atrocities, and commissioned films to document the horrors of concentration camps.
This extensive effort to spread information about the Holocaust and German war crimes was necessary because most Germans either denied ever supporting the Nazi Party or echoed the common refrain that “wir konnten nichts tun” (we could do nothing) when presented with a list of German atrocities. This claim blatantly ignored the fact that a majority of Germans had either actively or passively supported Hitler, voted in favor of him or his conservative allies, and generally stood by as more than 500,000 of their Jewish neighbors were persecuted and more than 150,000 of them were shipped to hundreds of concentration camps across Germany. If Germans needed more evidence of their government’s crimes, they needed only to observe the millions of malnourished foreign slave laborers forced to work in German factories and on German farms. When German civilians saw that their denials had little effect on Allied sentiments, they attempted to downplay the severity of German atrocities instead. American war correspondent Margaret Bourke-White reported how after some Germans viewed images of concentration camps, they responded by saying “Why get so excited about it, after [the Allies] bombing innocent women and children?” With the food and housing situation dire in most German cities and millions of soldiers and civilians dead from the fighting, the majority of former citizens of the Third Reich preferred to focus on their own suffering.
While interned in a Soviet prisoner of war camp, Major Siegfried Knappe and the other German prisoners of war received daily reports about the progress of the IMT. “We learned the details of the Nazi extermination camps and finally began to accept them as true rather than just Russian propaganda,” wrote Knappe. The former officer explained in his memoir that he only began to believe accounts of the evidence presented at the trial “when it became clear that the Western Allies as well as Russia were prosecuting the Germans responsible.” Knappe realized that “as a professional soldier, I could not escape my share of the guilt, because without us Hitler could not have done the horrible things he had done; but as a human being, I felt no guilt, because I had no part in or knowledge of the things he had done.” Many German soldiers’ postwar writings echoed similar denials about German atrocities.
The Allies attempted to persuade Germans of their guilt by forcing them to tour concentration camps, watch newsreel footage of Nazi crimes, and purge their libraries of Nazi materials. The real problem, however, was that every German adult who had not actively resisted Nazi rule bore some responsibility for the regime’s crimes. By accepting the legitimacy and verdicts of the IMT, German civilians, soldiers, and former government officials thought they could acknowledge that their country had committed horrific crimes but place all of the blame on a handful of Nazi leaders.
Though the trial failed to convince all Germans of their responsibility for initiating World War II and the Holocaust in Europe, it forged a tentative consensus about the criminality of Hitler’s rule.
Other defendants: looked in horror and shocked
Göring: *pulls out cool shades*
Goering felt humiliated. He knew he was going to die but he wanted a soldier's death and not the death fit for a common criminal.
he would then bite a cyanide pill and escape justice. makes you hope that hell is real
The Capricorn is strong with Göring…
He knew he was going to die. Wasnt going to give the allies the privilege of seeing him get emotional. God Bryan Cox is a Supreme actor.
@@ricardocantoral7672 Goering wanted a soldier's death because it's quick and painless, unlike being strangled to death.
The one error in this movie is that in real life, the defendants were brought into the court room one at a time to hear their sentences, then led out and the next defendant brought in to hear his sentence. Not all in the court room at the same time.
I don’t think it’s an error. They probably chose to do it this way for dramatic purposes.
Yes but it’s sooooo good this way
That wasn’t the case for everyone. There are videos of the finals statements from the tribunal and sentencing that occurred close to what is portrayed here.

Historically true.
Keitel was a field Marshall, not an admiral.
LaKeitel was 😊
Yeah I had a double take when he said that.
I can't believe I missed that!
Yeah I was confused....he wasn't an ADMIRAL
Yeah, piss poor on the part of the production.
Admiral Doenitz's sentence of 10 years was unjust. Even Allied generals disagreed with it. He fought a war but committed no war crimes or crimes against humanity.
Yes but he was the last leader of the Reich. Not a crime, but people of Britain, USA and USSR wouldn't be happy with ,,not guilty" for the leader of the Germany. Still better than Jodl, Keitel or Göring.
Well he did commit war crimes, just not to the scale of the other defendants. Iirc it was the use of slave Labor in constructing ships and killing unarmed sailors in the water. I think there's a video that explains why he got such a low sentence. If memory serves, his lawyer was really good and pointed to the fact that some American sailors shot and killed Japanese sailors after their ships had been sunk.
Unrestricted Submarine Warfare, but the US and UK had done the same, so they let him live.
Actually Admiral Doenitz sentence was based off that very defensive argument. He argued that the American submarine fleet did the exact same thing the German U-boat fleet did in not picking up survivors & indiscriminate targeting of merchant ships. His sentence was fair.
@@timesnewlogan2032 Ah it was unrestricted submarine warfare my bad, but yea my point still stands.

I visited Courtroom 600 in the 1990’s…the place was empty, no trials that day, and looked basically the same as the old newsreels. I sat in the dock where Goering sat, put on a pair of sunglasses, and a buddy took my picture. It was a trip sitting right at the spot where history was made.
Keitel just clicked his heels in response.
How did they not catch the “Admiral” Keitel mistake?

@@YoshioCarneiro what is YOUR point? I cant understand where you are coming from ever
Speer should have gotten a death sentence, or at least life imprionment.
His plot to kill hitler saved his neck
(edit typo correction)
"Do you feel guilty?" "Yes."
I have spent a great deal of my life reading about Speer. As a younger man, I bought into his lies and deceptions, along with the “Good Nazi” myth.
As an older man, having learned of his Posen attendance, and the refutation of his lies and deceptions, I am convinced that he deserved the Death Penalty (and I’m an opponent of Capital Punishment).
One thing that always jarred me about Nuremberg is Sauckel’s death sentence and Speer’s 20 year sentence. I always felt that there was a blatant inconsistency there. Now that I know more of the truth about Speer’s complicity in Crimes Against Humanity, I am convinced that there was a gross miscarriage of Justice in Speer’s 20 year sentence.
@@Joes8186. I am convinced that there WAS no Speer plot. I am now convinced that it was just another self serving lie in a desperate attempt to save his neck. Just as I’m convinced, having extensively reading about Speer and the truths that have come to light, that the confrontation with Hitler over the scorched earth policy never actually happened. Speer was a completely amoral human being who only cared about Speer.
Speer was able to gather sympathy by speaking english perfectly and appearing as a well mannered and civilized man who regrets. However, as armament minister he was responsible for severe suffering and death of those who had to work in forced labour. By the standarts of the tial he should ve gotten sentenced to death.
Streicher on the other hand did get that sentence. He had way less blood on his hands than Speer. His impact was only regional, while Speer was operating on a large, international scale. Streicher was just a piece of shit and not able to put up such a good image like Speer.
For those of you wondering what happened to the ones they didn't include here: Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Alfred Rosenberg and Hans Frank were all found guilty on all counts and executed. Erich Raeder was found guilty of war crimes but not crimes against humanity and received life imprisonment, but was released early. Konstantin von Neurath was found guilty of crimes against peace and got 15 years.
Hans Frank was one of the defendants mentioned in the film.

The German people knew enough they did not want to know more.
Sadly, the majority Germans who participated in one way or another in the killing of the six million Jews and the other poor souls in the concentration camps, got away without being charged.
Denazification was pretty brutal. well by todays standards but necessary.. The forced expulsion of over 14 million ethnic germans from eastern europe over a few years is the largest in history.. People that did nothing or anything were punished.. As an example that germany could never use them living there as an excuse..
Speer should have gotten more than 20 years. He charmed the Court into leniency.
Albert Speer, in the end out of all 21 defendants at Nuremberg after 20 years in prison, came out smelling like Roses as the 'Good Nazi.' He had a sweet deal until his death in 1981.
Rudolf Hess is the individual prisoner I never understood until a few years ago why he got a full life sentence for his crimes. This is due to the fact that by 1939, Hess' influence in Nazi Germany had waned and that after May 1941, he played no further role in the war or with the Nazis. Hess was never released from prison in my opinion for one simple reason, he was a bargaining chip for the Allies and provided the Soviets with a tophold in West Berlin, (Spandau prison) until his death in 1987 literally the entire Cold War.
@@joshuagrover795 Essentially yes. Hess's sentence was disproportionate with his role in the war. From what I remember reading, the Soviet judges, recognizing that they had a pretty weak argument for the death penalty, shifted to life imprisonment as a way to avoid a compromise among the American, British and French judges which would have gotten less a shorter sentence. A rare instance of strategic thinking on their part, btw.
Fake blame-the-soviets information. He knew something they didn’t want people to know.
@@etchedinstone7562it was probably more of a reward. I mean he had the entire castle to himself for most of his sentence and had a personal garden for heck sakes. I don't subscribe to it but it sure does make the theory he defected after his capture and worked with British intelligence after 41. And that they decided to tie the loose end rather than have the public know they worked with such a high ranking official of Germany.
@@RAAM855 Hitler was determined to hang Hess once Britain surrendered. In the scheme of things, Hess did get to have a different legacy. The Nuremburg Trials were not an instance of perfect or equal justice, which is something we often see in historically significant cases. As for the British actions on Hess, no surprise.
i love the look goring gives speer like "i'm going to die fine but this swine lives? he knew more than me"
It amazes me how Speer got off the way he did…
Agreed.
“Good nazi” my ass
He is only an architect
@@faihanhaque6507 Later in the war he was appointed as Minister of Armaments and Munitions, meaning he was in charge of a LOT of forced/slave labor. He was also still a devout Nazi throughout and before the war, having joined the party in 1930. And not only was he an architect, he was Hitler's personal architect, having designed many Nazi rally grounds and government buildings like the Ministry of Aviation and the Zeppelinfeld Stadium.
Repentance goes a long way.

My grandfather was an MP in the US Army and briefly guarded Spandau prison when Rudolf Hess was the last Nazi prisoner there.
What was his opinion on Hess' death? Was it really a suicide?
Wonder what Hoess trail was like?
It was not in Germany. He was turned over to the new Polish government in Warsaw after his testimony was done at Nuremberg. He was only a witness at that point. He was later convicted by the Polish Council and hung at Auschwitz.
Admiral Keitel?, wasn't he a Field Marshal?
Hess really looks like the german TV puppet "Bernd das Brot" (Bernd the Bread) lol
Hess was found dead on 17 August 1987, aged 93, in a summer house that had been set up in the prison garden as a reading room; he had allegedly hanged himself using an extension cord strung over a window latch. He was the last war criminal in Spandau. This happened on the British turn to watch him. Conspiracy theories circulate that the US, Britain, and France wanted him disposed of due to the enormous cost of operating Spandau solely for him. The Russians probably wanted him alive as long as possible as it gave them a excuse for agents presence in West Berlin.

"we find Keitel guilty twice, and so commute Jodl's sentence, unless he like looks away"
I don't get how a foreign minister is given a death sentence.
His lies and deceptions were seen as key to Hitlers rearmament of Germany and eventually the declaration of war - the fact he was pompous, graceless and that no one really liked him also probably didnt help.

The whole ordeal is kinda weird, Hess, who flew to Britain in 1940 to negotiate peace got a life sentence for crimes against peace. Speer who was the mastermind behind keeping Germany's military production up by utilizing Slave labour, somehow only got 20 years. Dönitz, who essentially did the same thing the Americans did in the Pacific, got 10 years.

You know each count has meaning right? Its not a math equation
Hess was involved in the early stuff but, he flew to England in May 1941 and ended up in British custody for much of the war when the crimes and atrocities were happening. The Wannsee Conference took place in Jan of 42 so Hess wasn't even present when the Final Solution was implemented. He was still a NAZI asshat so a life sentence wasn't uncalled for.

- Conspiracy to commit crimes against peace and crimes of Agression (making the Luftwaffe an instrument for aggressive war and using it to destroy other countries)
- War crimes (he spoke of seizing Poles and Dutch and making them prisoners of war if necessary, and using them for work)
- Crimes against humanity (he was the director of the slave labor program and the creator of the oppressive program against the Jews and other races, at home and abroad. All of these crimes he has frankly admitted.)

- Crimes of Agression and Conspiracy to commit crimes against peace (Hess was an informed and willing participant in German aggression against Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland)

Not so with the Allies; show trials with no precedent are necessitated to maintain the illusion of objective law and order for their respective peoples, many of whom genuinely believed that they ruled through liberal democracy.

This is not how the sentences were announced.
The verdicts had been given the previous day. Those who had been found guilty were brought into the court one at a time to hear their sentence. Goering, Keitel and Kaltenbrunner already knew they were going to hang because their Führerprinzip defences had been rejected due to the magnitude of their crimes, so they were already resigned to their fate.

Robert H. Jackson's reaction to the British Judge as he reads out Hjalmar Schacht's acquittal: "WTF, my country paying this tribunal its fucking wages, where 'our' convictions.
would like to point out that this was probably as fair as it might have gotten since the soviets wanted to just shoot them all but the americans and brits opposed hence they had to compromise
....what?
If the roles were in reverse, I doubt Nazi judges would of allowed Allied soldiers and commanders to make an appeal of their sentencing. And the Soviets wanted to just outright kill all of them with no trial whatsoever; at least with British and American courts they had a chance.
Personally I find the very idea of appeals to be problematic in courts. Gives way too much leeway for guilty people to get out of jail just because of a stupid technicality or an error in press. The only time an appeal should ever be made is if a defendants lawyer can show undisputable evidence the person is in fact innocent of a crime. Otherwise, appeals should not be used in civil court at all. And in criminal court, if the prosecutor presents undisputable evidence the defendant is guilty, and the defendants lawyer can't argue against it, then the matter is closed: no appeals.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl ah a "guilty unless proven innocent" fellow. Bold, my friend.
@@ianrastoski3346 I never said that. And frankly that statement no longer has any relevance. With all the modern technology we have, it's a bit hard to say someone is innocent when they are caught red handed committing a crime on camera (which are everywhere now). And DNA evidence showing they are in fact the culprit; with DNA technology becoming more advanced and accurate, it's becoming rare for an innocent person to be arrested by mistake.
When a person is arrested, they are neither guilty or innocent until the jury says their verdict. And if the evidence shows the person in question did commit the crime with indisputable 100% concrete evidence, there is no justification for an appeal.
If everyone was truly innocent until proven guilty, no one would be getting arrested at all, let alone being put on trial.
And Joe Biden is the puppet of a cabal that seeks to destroy the United States of America.
This video has nothing to do with Biden please stfu
Agreed.

Moronic statement. Hopefully this comment causes you trouble in the future.

I know right? It's not like the guys on trial killed, tortured and enslaved millions of people or anything. Oh wait...
@@welfomoment5975 Well, some of them didn't. Streicher just published a magazine. He was completely shut out of any role in government affairs before any atrocities occurred.
