chiatric disorders with drugs, shortly later published a book on his experiences at
Nuremberg, giving Göring and Göring’s last act a laudatory treatment: 31
“He stoically endured his long imprisonment that he might force down the
Allied Tribunal and browbeat the prosecuting lawyers on their own terms. […]
His suicide […] was a skillful, even brilliant, finishing touch, completing the
edifice for Germans to admire in time to come. […] History may well show
that Göring won out at the end, even though condemned by the high court of
the Allied powers.”
A decade later, Dr. Kelley followed Göring by taking one of several potassium
cyanide capsules which he possessed, said to be ‘souvenirs’ taken off Göring’s
body.
The IMT trial was the only one that received very great attention. It was important
in the sense that the Allied powers committed themselves to a specific
version of the extermination claim, but there was little evidence presented of any
substantial nature relative to Jewish extermination; it was almost entirely testimony
and affidavits, not at all difficult for the victorious powers to produce under
the circumstance. The only relative merit of the IMT trial, for our purposes, is that
the complete transcript and a reasonably complete selection of the documents put
into evidence are readily available in numerous libraries as a 42 volume set with a
very complete subject and name index (see References).
From 1946 to 1949 a series of twelve superficially less important trials were
held by the Americans before what is here called the Nuremberg Military Tribunal
(NMT). They are referred to variously according to the “case number,” the
major defendant, or a more descriptive title, see Table 4.
Several death sentences resulted from these trials, but the great majority received
prison sentences, in many cases rather lengthy ones. However, almost all
were free by the early Fifties.
The only cases among these that will concern us here in any way are Case 1, a
trial of medical personnel involved in euthanasia and medical experiments, Case
