"A false tribunal based on false laws." - General Emile Janssens, Royal Belgian Army<br />

"A permanent blot on the record <strong>of</strong> the allies."<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Harry Elmer Barnes, Ph.D. American historian<br />

"<strong>The</strong> spirit which led the British and American people to look on complacently while their authorities<br />

were committing the monstrous injustice <strong>of</strong> holding the Nuremberg Trials, was nothing new; for it is<br />

latent in every savage beast; .....<br />

Consequently, in the matter <strong>of</strong> chivalry, justice and fair-play, the English record is even blacker than<br />

it was after World War 1 and the savagery and inhumanity that was displayed was far less restrained...<br />

from the looting and the sadistic ill-treatment <strong>of</strong> the defenceless population <strong>of</strong> the allied troops and<br />

control <strong>of</strong>ficials - Englishmen, Frenchmen, Russians and Americans, to the despicable display <strong>of</strong><br />

troglodytic beastliness in the Nuremberg Trials, where Englishmen, Frenchmen and Americans sank<br />

to the level <strong>of</strong> Russian prosecutors in a 'Great Purge' trial and committed the extra infamy <strong>of</strong><br />

pretending that the proceedings were 'legal' and 'just'.<br />

At least when the ancients 'liquidated' the military or other leaders <strong>of</strong> their defeated enemy, they<br />

marched a Caractacus or a Vercingetorix through the streets <strong>of</strong> Rome, they never aggravated the<br />

iniquity by trying to make it appear the outcome <strong>of</strong> a just and bona fide legal process."<br />

Anthony M. Ludovici, English Army Officer, (World War.1) Philosopher and author <strong>of</strong> 33 works,<br />

1909 - 1960<br />

"<strong>The</strong>re was something cynical and revolting in the spectacle <strong>of</strong> British, French and American judges<br />

sitting on the bench with a colleague representing a country which before, during, and since the trials,<br />

had perpetrated half the political crimes in the calendar."<br />

- Lord Hankey, House <strong>of</strong> Lords, May, 5th, 1949<br />

"I have always maintained, and I have written to this effect, that the war crimes trials were wholly<br />

illegal from the point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> international law."<br />

Herbert A. Smith, D.C.L, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> International Law, University <strong>of</strong> London, 1928-1946<br />

"I think the Nuremberg trials are a black page in the history <strong>of</strong> the world.... I discussed the legality <strong>of</strong><br />

these trials with some <strong>of</strong> the lawyers and some <strong>of</strong> the judges who participated therein. <strong>The</strong>y did not<br />

attempt to justify their action on any legal ground."<br />

Edgar N. Eisenhower, American attorney, brother <strong>of</strong> President Dwight D. Eisenhower<br />

"Accusations by English scribblers <strong>of</strong> 'barbarism' on the part <strong>of</strong> Germans or other troops invariably<br />

provoke my indignation by their arrant hypocrisy. Accident <strong>of</strong> fate has brought it about that much <strong>of</strong><br />

my military and civil career was occupied with the suppression or attempted suppression, <strong>of</strong> armed<br />

rebellion or severe civilian commotion, and I have seen or investigated enough atrocities committed<br />

by British and Irish troops in three countries to fill several books."<br />

Aubrey T.O Lees. English Colonial Administrator and Army <strong>of</strong>ficer. Served in Ireland during the<br />

revolution (1920 - 1922), in Iraq (1922 - 1925, and for ten years in Palestine.<br />

Space limitations preclude further comment. Clearly, nobody but the most grievously misinformed<br />
