2:41:01
the charges against these defendants.
2:41:15
Herr Rolfe...
2:41:17
in his very skillful defense...
2:41:20
has asserted that there are others...
2:41:25
who must share the ultimate responsibility...
2:41:28
for what happened here in Germany.
2:41:30
There is truth in this.
2:41:33
The real complaining party at the bar
in this courtroom...
2:41:37
is civilization.
2:41:41
But the tribunal does say...
2:41:44
that the men in the dock
are responsible for their actions.
2:41:51
Men who sat in black robes...
2:41:55
in judgment on other men.
2:42:00
Men who took part...
2:42:03
in the enactment of laws and decrees...
2:42:10
the purpose of which
was the extermination of human beings.
2:42:14
Men who, in executive positions...
2:42:17
actively participated
in the enforcement of these laws...
2:42:22
illegal even under German law.
2:42:31
The principle...
2:42:33
of criminal law in every civilized society...
2:42:38
has this in common:
2:42:41
Any person who sways another
to commit murder...
2:42:48
any person who furnishes...
2:42:51
the lethal weapon
for the purpose of the crime...
2:42:55
any person
who is an accessory to the crime...
