Thumbnail of a photograph: Imprisonment for life was pronounced by the Tribunal against the defendant OSWALD ROTHAUG, shown here flanked by two U.S. Army guards in the same dock where the twenty-one defendants of the International Military Tribunal were tried and sentenced. In 1933 Rothaug was Senior Public Prosecutor in Nurnberg, and in 1937 he became Director of the District Court in Nurnberg. Described by the Tribunal as a sadistic and evil man who would have been impeached from office under any civilized judicial system, Rothaug used his position as a presiding judge in trials to further Nazi persecution and extermination of Jews and Poles. In passing sentences that Tribunal stated that Rothaug "formed his opinions from dubious records submitted to him before trial, and by his manners and methods made his court an instrumentality of terror which won the fear and hatred of the population. From the evidence of his closest associates as well as his victims, we find that Oswald Rothaug represented in Germany the personification of the secret Nazi intrigue and cruelty. Frequently during the course of trials, Rothaug took the opportunity to five [sic] the audience a National Socialist lecture on the subject of the Jewish or Polish qustion. As cuch [sic] the witnesses found great difficulty in giving testimony beause tf [sic] the way in which the trial was conducted." Upon the evidence of the case the Tribunal found Rothaug guilty on count three of the indictment which charged him with crimes against humanity. 1946-1948

Thumbnail of a photograph: The defendant Ernst Lautz, flanked by two U.S.Army guards, stands at attention in the dock that formerly held the 21 defendants of the International Military Tribunal, as the Tribunal pronounces his sentence of ten years imprisonment. He was convicted for his leadership in the Nazi judicial process in Germany. A member of the NSDAP from 1933, he served as Chief Prosecutor of the People's Court in Berlin from 1939 until the Nazi collapse. These courts dealt mainly with cases which had to do with sabotage, high treason, attempted escapes from the Reich by Poles and other foreigners, and trial of foreign nationals brought to Germany for prosecution on political charges. The Tribunal found that Lautz was criminally implicated in enforcing the law against those races, and that he participated in the perversion of laws relating to treason. Under those laws, Poles who were guilty of petty offenses were executed. If German law was Lautz's defense, the Tribunal stated, many of his acts would be excusable. The defendant was found guilty under counts two and three of the indictment which charged him with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Although a member of the Nazi party he did not belong to the criminal organizations, the SS, the SA, or the SD. 1946-1948

Thumbnail of a photograph: A sentence of life imprisonment is read by Tribunal III against the No. 2 defendant of the Justice Case, HERBERT KLEMM, who is pictured here between two U.S. guards in the defendants' dock. KLEMM, who was State Secretary of the Reich Ministry of Justice, was a leading figure in bringing foreign nationals into Germany, where they were tried usually on racial, religious, or political charges. He also formed plans to encourage the German civilian populations to kill Allied airmen who were shot down in Germany. The Tribunal found Klemm guilty on counts two and three of the indictment that charged him with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Although he became a member of the NSDAP in 1930 and an Oberfuehrer in the SA in 1933, he was not found guilty under count four of the indictment, membership in a criminal organization as defined by the International Military Tribunal. 1946-1948

Thumbnail of a photograph: A sentence of seven years imprisonment is pronounced by the Tribunal against the former defendant in the Justice Case CURT ROTHENBERGER, shown here guarded by two U.S. Army guards in the defendants' dock of the main courtroom in t he [sic] Palace of Justice, Nurnberg. Rothenberger, President of the District Court of Appeals in Hamburg from 1935 to 1942 and Under Secretary of Justice in the Reich Ministry of Justice from 1942 to the end, was found to have used his high positions in the Nazi Judicial Process and the Party to influence judges of the courts in trying and sentencing of cases. Under Rothenberger's directives, Party members or persons associated with the party were to be given very lenient sentences, should they be brought to trials, and in keeping with the government's plan of extermination of t he[sic] non-Aryans he further ordered the death penalty should be given to any Jews, Poles, or Russians brought to trial and that extreme caution should be used in weighing any of their testimony. The Tribunal found Rothenberger guilty on counts two and three of the indictment, which charged him with war crimes and crimes against humanity. 1946-1948
