Professor Dr. Herbert C. Sanborn. Historian and author
"I am wholly in agreement as to the hypocrisy and illegality of the Nuremberg Trials. The Nuremberg
Trials set a dangerous precedent and must be exposed...." - Air Commodore G.S. Oddie, D.F.C.,
A.F.C. Deputy Director R.A.F, World War 11
"The Nuremberg Trials were a disgrace to civilisation, and, as a teacher of young men and women, I
have deeply regretted that my country joined in this outrageous action."
Kenneth Colegrove, Ph.D. Consultant to General Douglas MacArthur
"There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that these trials were 'a libel on the military profession.' I
am sorry."
Vice Admiral Mahlon S. Tisdale, U.S.N. Commander, Destroyers, Pacific Fleet, World War 11
"An outrage against good morals, an absurdity in point of international law, and a deplorable error in
policy. They set a precedent for what amounts to the legalised lynching of the leaders of the defeated
side in any future war." - Hoffman Nickerson, American author
"I have no doubt that the Nuremberg 'War Crimes Trials' were an instrument of revenge rather than of
justice. As an American citizen, I apologise to Admiral Doenitz."
Colonel Ulius L. Amoss, U.S.A.F. Deputy Chief of Staff, 9th Air Force, World War 11
"I consider the 'war crimes trials' in general and the trial of Admiral Doenitz in particular, a matter of
mass hypocrisy resulting from a war-bred hangover." - Vice Admiral A. Stanton Merrill, U.S.N
Commander, Cruiser Division
"... they were most unjust and cruel." - Admiral of the Fleet, The Rt. Hon. 12th Earl of Cork and
Orrery, G.C.B. Commander-in-Chief, Home Fleet and Portsmouth.
"The Nuremberg Charter under which Doenitz was tried created alleged crimes for which there is no
precedent or justification in international law or usage."
Vice Admiral Kenneth G.B Dewar, C.B.E. Commanded H.M.S. Royal Oak and Tiger
"But the real guilty ones are the British Admiralty, the French Department of the Marine, and the
Navy Departments of all countries, including our own. They are the guilty ones, not the officers who
obeyed their orders." - Commodore Julius F. Hellweg, U.S.N
"It does not seem fair to me." - General Sir Andrew Thorne, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O. Commander-in-
Chief, Allied Land Forces
"They smell. I have always considered them as legalistic hocus-pocus to give semblance of
respectability to barbarous vengeance inflicted upon opponents who have merely done their duty on
the losing side of a war. A primitive idea supposed to be in disrepute for some centuries."
Rear Admiral George van Deurs, U.S.N. World War 11
