I have served my country
throughout my life...
2:34:11
and in whatever position
I was assigned to...
2:34:14
in faithfulness,
with a pure heart, and without malice.
2:34:19
I followed the concept that I believed
to be the highest in my profession.
2:34:24
The concept that says:
2:34:27
"To sacrifice one's own sense of justice...
2:34:29
"to the authoritative legal order.
2:34:33
"To ask only what the law is...
2:34:36
"and not to ask
whether or not it is also justice. "
2:34:40
As a judge, I could do no other.
2:34:44
I believe Your Honors will find me...
2:34:46
and millions of Germans like me...
2:34:48
who believed they were doing their duty
to their country...
2:34:52
to be not guilty.
2:34:59
The defendant Werner Lammpe
may address the tribunal.
2:35:10
Your Honors...
2:35:42
The defendant Ernst Janning
may address the tribunal.
2:35:55
I have nothing to add to what I have said.
