Nuremberg Reel-7

Each Nuremberg trial defendant has a German Lawyer and each defendant is cross examined and given an opportunity to speak. Alfred Jodl responds when asked if he can remember any other reason for such mortality among Russian prisoners of war. Next von Ribbentrop states once again he knew nothing about military measures.

Herman Goering is cross examined and asked if it was not true he said “German Jews must as a penalty forfeit one billion marks then the pigs won't commit any more crimes”. He was then asked “do you still say neither Hitler or you knew of no policy to exterminate the Jews? He answered he did not know the degree and was then asked “you did know there was a policy to liquidate the Jews. No, not the liquidation of the Jews.

Albert Speer then takes the stand and speaks of Hitler's contempt for Goering as a failure and was a corrupt drug addict. Hans Frank makes final statement to the Tribunal stating he felt a terrible guilt. Walther Funk declares he felt a shame and guilt today, but it is too late. Several others made final statements. The defense delivered its summation.
