I've collected
several precedents and arguments here...
1:15:13
that have a bearing on the basis of the case,
which is, of course, the conflict between...
1:15:18
allegiance to international law
and to the laws of one's own country.
1:15:24
We have a mountain of material
to go over here.
1:15:27
What are you looking at, Dan?
1:15:30
I was looking at some of these pictures
attached to the warrants for arrest.
1:15:34
What pictures?
1:15:37
There's Petersen,
before they operated on him.
1:15:41
And here's Irene Hoffman.
She really was 16 once, wasn't she?
1:15:47
Feldenstein.
1:15:51
And here's the situation of a boy,
certainly couldn't have been more than 14.
1:15:56
Executed for saying things
against the Third Reich.
1:15:59
"By order of Justice Friedrich Hoffstetter. "
1:16:03
If I may say so, more pertinent
to the legal basis of the case...
1:16:07
I have the opening address
of the French prosecutor...
1:16:10
before the International Military Tribunal.
1:16:12
"It is obvious that in the state organized
along modern lines...
1:16:16
"responsibility is confined
to those who act directly for the state.
1:16:20
"Since they alone are in a position to judge
the legitimacy of the given orders...
1:16:24
"they alone can be prosecuted. "
1:16:26
I have another
from Prof. Jahrreiss' legal aspects...
1:16:31
Trial of the Major War Criminals.
1:16:33
On the basis of these, I don't see
where the prosecution has put forth...
1:16:37
a really clear-cut case against the defense
pertaining to the charges in the indictment.
1:16:42
Regardless of the acts committed...
1:16:43
we cannot make the interpretation
that these defendants...
1:16:47
are really responsible
for crimes against humanity.
1:16:53
What do you think, Dan?
1:16:54
We've been going over these points all day.
If it isn't clear now...
