Is Anyone Guilty?

The Nazi elite were gathering again at Nuernberg. But the old Parteitag pomp and mass hysteria were gone. This time the leaders had to make their speeches in prison cells, where they awaited trial by the United Nations War Crimes Commission for being Nazis and starting the war. Most of them were hard at work on their defense. Chances were they would claim to be guilty only of German patriotism.

The list of those indicted was a Nazi Who's Who: former Deputy Fuehrer Rudolf Hess, Air Minister Hermann Goering, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Labor Boss Robert Ley, Nazi Philosopher-in-Chief Alfred Rosenberg, and many another. Missing were Adolf Hitler (supposedly dead), Joseph Goebbels (reported dead), Heinrich Himmler (dead), and elusive Martin Bormann, one of Hitler's closest aides.
