Goring selects his attorney GORING HERMAN: (1893-1946) German Nazi Politician & Military Leader of World War II, President of the Reichstag 1932-45 and Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe 1935-45. Goring was the second-highest-ranking Nazi official tried at the Nuremberg Trials, behind Reich President Karl Donitz. The prosecution at the trials levelled an indictment of four charges, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, and Goring was found guilty on all four counts and sentenced to death by hanging. Goring committed suicide on the night before his execution. Rare manuscript document, unsigned, one page, 4to, n.p. (Nuremberg), n.d. (late 1945), addressed to the General Secretary of the International Court of Justice, in German. Goring's holograph document states 'I request one of the following attorneys, which I list in the order of my preference: 1.) Dr. Count von der Goltz, formerly of Berlin (probably now a prisoner of the Americans), 2.) Dr. Dise (Rudolph), formerly of Berlin, 3.) Dr. Gollnick (Kurt), 4.) Dr. Sieveking (Robert) Hamburg, 5.) Dr. Stahmer (Otto) Kiel, 6.) Dr. Karl Sarre, Berlin, 7.) Dr, Ihde (Adolf) Kiel, 8.) Dr. Walter Schmidt, Berlin'. Four file holes to the upper edge, only very slightly affecting one letter of text, and neatly laid down to the verso of a printed folio page bearing text relating to Goring's sentence of death by hanging delivered at the Nuremberg Trials. About VG Goring was successful in obtaining his fifth choice of attorney, the German lawyer Otto Stahmer (1879-1968), who served as the Defence Counsel to Goring during the Nuremberg Trials. Provenance: The present document originates from the personal archives of Hans Werner, who in 1945, as the Director of Printing at the International Military Tribunal, was responsible for overseeing the printing of the Record of the Trial of Major War Criminals for the Nuremberg Trials. Published in 42 volumes in three different languages (English, French & German), the record of the trials was finally distributed in November 1949. Werner was the last member of over 100 editors and translators to stay with the IMT before finally returning the United States. The document is accompanied by a copy of a letter of testimonial for Werner issued by Dr. Howard Russell, a professor of English Language and Literature who served as Secretary General of the American Military Tribunals at the Nuremberg War Trials, and a copy of an article regarding Werner and his work which appeared in the military newspaper The Nuremberg Post on 18th November 1949.

Ribbentrop summons the Archbishop of Canterbury as a witness for his defence RIBBENTROP JOACHIM VON: (1893-1946) German Reich Minister of Foreign Affairs 1938-45. Arrested in June 1945, Ribbentrop was tried at the Nuremberg Trials and found guilty on all four indictments, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, convicted for his role in starting World War II and enabling the Holocaust. On 16th October 1946 he became the first of those sentenced to death to be hanged. Rare D.S., J v Ribbentrop, in pencil, two pages, folio, n.p. (Nuremberg), 25th January 1946, in German. The mimeograph document, completed in typescript, is an official International Military Tribunal application form for a Defendant's Application for Summons for Witness, addressed to the General Secretary, and requesting that William Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, is summoned by the Tribunal to give evidence on Ribbentrop's behalf as the politician 'repeatedly told to the witness that the establishment of friendly relations between Germany and England was absolutely necessary', continuing to explain that, as the Archbishop was a member of the high English Clergy, he had 'the possibility to spread and promote in church circles the idea of the necessity to establish such relations in order to secure peace for the peoples'. Signed by Ribbentrop at the conclusion of the first page and countersigned by Dr. Martin Horn, the defendant's counsel. Accompanied by an original unsigned English translation of the document. A document of extraordinary content. Both of the documents have been professionally restored, causing some very minor defects, the second page of the German text document silked, resulting in slightly less bold (although perfectly legible) text.

‘Frick….issued orders restricting the practice of protective custody in concentration camps and reprimanded and attempted to prevent abuses in the activity of the Political Police’   FRICK WILHELM: (1877-1946) German Nazi Politician of World War II, Reich Minister of the Interior 1933-43. Frick was tried and convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials and executed by hanging. Rare D.S., Frick, one page, folio, n.p. (Nuremberg), 25th February 1946, in German. The mimeograph document, completed in typescript, is an official International Military Tribunal application form for a Defendant's Application for Summons for Witness, addressed to the General Secretary, and requesting that Dr. Diehls, whose last known location was at 031 Civilian Internment Camp at Sockse, Nienburg, is summoned by the Tribunal to give evidence on Frick's behalf as Diehls, as Chief of the Gestapo in Prussia in 1933/34, is 'acquainted with the tasks and activity of the Gestapo, especially with the measures taken by the defendant Frick who, by virtue of his authority in the supervision of the Reich, issued orders restricting the practice of protective custody in concentration camps and reprimanded and attempted to prevent abuses in the activity of the Political Police', further remarking that Frick 'sought in vain to take steps against the arbitrary activity of the Political Police in the provinces'. Signed by Frick at the conclusion alongside two official circular International Military Tribunal stamps. Accompanied by an original unsigned English translation of the document. A document of remarkable content. Both of the documents have been professionally restored, causing some very minor defects, and also resulting in the fading of Frick's signature which is barely legible.

The mimeograph document, completed in typescript, is an official International Military Tribunal application form for a Defendant's Application for Summons for Witness, addressed to the General Secretary, and requesting that Dr. Conrad of Berlin is summoned by the Tribunal to give evidence on Frick's behalf as Conrad was 'a specialist on Church questions in the Ministry of the Interior which activity permits him to know what was Frick's attitude on the question of church policy', further stating that it is relevant to Frick's defence as it is contrary to the charge that he 'participated in the persecution of the Churches' and that Frick 'strongly defended Church interests'. Countersigned by Dr. Otto Pannenbecker, Frick's Defence Counsel, also in pencil. The document bears two official circular International Military Tribunal stamps.

In reference to Kristallnacht – Streicher ‘declined all participation in the Jewish Pogram of 8/9 November 1938 and showed himself very angry and annoyed that such deeds of violence had taken place’ STREICHER JULIUS: (1885-1946) German Gauleiter of Franconia 1929-40, a prominent member of the NSDAP who founded and published the anti-Semitic newspaper Der Sturmer. At the Nuremberg Trials Streicher was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging. Rare D.S., Julius Streicher, in bold pencil, one page, folio, n.p. (Nuremberg), 25th November 1945, in German. The mimeograph document, completed in typescript, is an official International Military Tribunal application form for a Defendant's Application for Summons for Witness, addressed to the General Secretary, and requesting that SA-Brigadefuhrer Wurzbacher, presumably held in a concentration camp, is summoned by the Tribunal to give evidence on Streicher's behalf as Wurzbacher has knowledge that 'on 31 March 1933 Streicher had a notice printed….before the boycott against the Jewish stores, that all violence against the Jews was to be strictly avoided, and gave this order to Wurzbacher directly', further stating that Streicher 'declined all participation in the Jewish Program [sic, pogrom] of 8/9 November 1938 [Kristallnacht] and showed himself very angry and annoyed that such deeds of violence had taken place. The direct order for the undertaking of this demonstration was given by Obergruppenfuhrer von Obernitz, who claimed to have orders from Berlin'. Countersigned by Hanns Marx, Streicher's Defence Counsel, also in pencil. A document of important content, accompanied by a photocopy of the contemporary English translation. Professionally restored, intentionally avoiding the area of the signature, thereby creating a slightly darker shading around the signature. VG Philipp Wurzbacher (1898-1984) German SA Official and NSDAP member of the Reichstag 1933-45. Wurzbacher was summoned to appear at the Nuremberg Trials on 30th April 1946, and gave evidence, stating of Streicher 'At no meeting did I hear suggestions that violence should be used against the Jewish population. Nor did I ever hear Streicher suggest or announce that he had any such intentions in mind' and further remarking of the pogram 'I was not in Nuremberg during the events from the 9th to 10th November 1938... I can only say what I know from stories which I heard afterwards.' Of Streicher's attitude toward violence Wurzbacher informed the court 'If I may give the essence of it, he said that he would not tolerate that human beings be beaten or molested in any way in his Gau, and for the SA leaders he had rather drastic expressions such as ruffians or similar names - I do not recall them exactly.' On the 9th & 10th November 1938 a pogrom against Jews took place throughout Nazi Germany, becoming known as Kristallnacht. Carried out by SA paramilitary forces and German civilians (as the authorities looked on without intervening) the Nazis torched synagogues, vandalised Jewish homes, schools and businesses, and killed close to 100 Jews. Kristallnacht is regarded as representing a dramatic change in the Nazi persecution of Jews, which had previously been primarily non-violent. In the aftermath of Kristallnacht some 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps, and historians view the event as part of Nazi Germany's broader racial policy and the beginning of the Final Solution and The Holocaust.

(Nuremberg), 25th November 1945, in German. The mimeograph document, completed in typescript, is an official International Military Tribunal application form for a Defendant's Application for Summons for Witness, addressed to the General Secretary, and requesting that Hans Gassner, the director of a publishing firm in Nuremberg, is summoned by the Tribunal to give evidence on Streicher's behalf as Gassner may 'testify that I did not bother with the financial and business matters of publication, that at the end of the year I showed no interest, and monthly drew only 1000 RM for managing my household' and also stating 'I gave him full control in respect to all financial matters'. Countersigned by Hanns Marx, Streicher's Defence Counsel, also in pencil. Accompanied by a photocopy of the contemporary English translation. Professionally restored, intentionally avoiding the area of the signature, thereby creating a slightly darker shading around the signature. VG On the 26th June 1946 the court discussed Streicher's application as made in the present document, David Maxwell-Fyfe stating '...next is an application from Dr. Marx on behalf of the Defendant Streicher to put in an affidavit by the publisher, Herr Gassner of Der Sturmer. My Lord, the publisher is intended to deal with the question of the rise and the circulation of Der Sturmer during the years 1933 to 1935. The Prosecution have already submitted to the Tribunal that they did not think that that was relevant when an application was made to call Herr Gassner as a witness. The Prosecution still take the same position. My Lord, it is for an affidavit, and we leave to the Tribunal as to whether they would like the affidavit, but the Prosecution fail to see the relevance of that evidence.' Marx's reply was 'Mr. President, I have just discussed this matter with Defendant Streicher; and he tells me that the witness, Herr Gassner, whom I have proposed to call and from whom an affidavit had been proposed, would only be in a position to speak about the publication figures of Der Sturmer from the year 1941 onwards. That, of course, is of no interest whatever to the defence.' Gassner was never called.

Streicher makes reference to Kristallnacht – ‘I was again enraged at the events of that time and got very excited about the acts of the SS….’ STREICHER JULIUS: (1885-1946) German Gauleiter of Franconia 1929-40, a prominent member of the NSDAP who founded and published the anti-Semitic newspaper Der Sturmer. At the Nuremberg Trials Streicher was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging. Rare D.S., Julius Streicher, in bold pencil, one page, folio, n.p. (Nuremberg), 25th November 1945, in German. The mimeograph document, completed in typescript, is an official International Military Tribunal application form for a Defendant's Application for Summons for Witness, addressed to the General Secretary, and requesting that Fritz Herrwerth of Nuremberg, and now presumed to be held in the Concentration Camp of Mosburg, is summoned by the Tribunal to give evidence on Streicher's behalf as 'This witness was present in the night of 9th November 1938 [Kristallnacht] at the conversation which took place between the SA Obergruppenfuhrer von Obernitz and me concerning the proposed demonstration against the Jews….the witness knows further that when those events were discussed in Pleikershof I was again enraged at the events of that time and got very excited about the acts of the SS….' .

Professionally restored, intentionally avoiding the area of the signature, thereby creating a slightly darker shading around the signature. VG Fritz Herrwerth was indeed summoned to appear at the Nuremberg Trials on 29th April 1946 when he was questioned by Dr. Hanns Marx, in part - DR. MARX: The Defendant Streicher is accused of having caused acts of violence against the Jews and of having participated in these acts. Do you know of any such case? HERRWERTH: Not a single one. DR. MARX: Will you please wait until the end of my question, and then I shall say "end of question." On 9 November 1938, did you drive Streicher back to Nuremberg from Munich, and when? End of question. HERRWERTH: It was on 9 November, yes. I do not know the time exactly. At that time Streicher left Munich a bit earlier, and it may have been about-I do not know for sure-9 o'clock perhaps. DR. MARX: Did Streicher know already during that ride back that something was to be done that night against the Jewish population? HERRWERTH: No, he knew nothing about that. DR. MARX: Then, during the night of 9 November, did you witness a conversation between Streicher and the SA Leader, Von Obernitz? HERRWERTH: Yes. DR. MARX: Where did that conversation take place? HERRWERTH: In order to answer that question, I have to explain a little further. When Herr Streicher went to bed, I was usually with him or the house superintendent. On that evening Herr Stretcher went to bed earlier than usual. I do not know the reason. And that concluded my work for the day. I went from Herr Streicher to the Casino of the Gauleitung. That was in the cellar of the Gauleitung building on Schlageterstrasse. I played cards there. And then the former SA Obergruppenfuehrer, Von Obernitz, came and called me, as was customary, by the name of Fritz and told me he had to speak to Herr Streicher very urgently; and I answered him that Herr Streicher had already gone to bed. Then he said. "Then I must rouse him," and he told me he would assume the responsibility; it was an important affair. Herr Von Obernitz went to Herr Streicher's apartment in my car. Herr Streicher's bedroom is above my apartment. I had the keys and of course I could get in at any time. On the way to the apartment at night I noticed that many SA men were in the streets. I asked Herr Von Obernitz the reason for that. He told me that that night something was going to happen; the Jewish homes were to be destroyed. He did not say anything further to me. I accompanied Herr Von Obernitz all the way to the bed of Herr Streicher. Herr Von Obernitz then reported to Streicher about what was happening that night. I cannot recall the details very well any more, but I believe that he said that that night the Jewish homes were to be destroyed. Herr Streicher was, if I may say so, surprised. He had not known anything about it. He said literally to Herr Von Obernitz, and I remember that very clearly, "That is wrong. One does not solve the Jewish question that way. Do what you have been ordered. I shall have no part in it. If anything should occur so that you need me, then you may come for me." I can also mention that thereupon Herr Von Obernitz said that Hitler had declared that the SA should be allowed to have a fling as retribution for what had occurred in Paris in connection with Herr Vom Rath. Streicher stayed in bed and did not go out during that night. DR. MARX: Did Herr Von Obernitz mention anything about the fact that the synagogues were to be set on fire? HERRWERTH: I believe so, yes. But, as far as I remember, Herr Streicher refused to do that, too, because the synagogue, as far as I know, was burned down by the regular fire department, and upon orders from Herr Von Obernitz. DR. MARX: How do you know that? HERRWERTH: I was there. On the 9th & 10th November 1938 a pogrom against Jews took place throughout Nazi Germany, becoming known as Kristallnacht. Carried out by SA paramilitary forces and German civilians (as the authorities looked on without intervening) the Nazis torched synagogues, vandalised Jewish homes, schools and businesses, and killed close to 100 Jews. Kristallnacht is regarded as representing a dramatic change in the Nazi persecution of Jews, which had previously been primarily non-violent. In the aftermath of Kristallnacht some 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps, and historians view the event as part of Nazi Germany's broader racial policy and the beginning of the Final Solution and The Holocaust. Provenance: The present document originates from the personal archives of Hans Werner, who in 1945, as the Director of Printing at the International Military Tribunal, was responsible for overseeing the printing of the Record of the Trial of Major War Criminals for the Nuremberg Trials. Published in 42 volumes in three different languages (English, French & German), the record of the trials was finally distributed in November 1949. Werner was the last member of over 100 editors and translators to stay with the IMT before finally returning the United States. The document is accompanied by a copy of a letter of testimonial for Werner issued by Dr. Howard Russell, a professor of English Language and Literature who served as Secretary General of the American Military Tribunals at the Nuremberg War Trials, and a copy of an article regarding Werner and his work which appeared in the military newspaper The Nuremberg Post on 18th November 1949.

A document of important content. Countersigned by Hanns Marx, Streicher's Defence Counsel, also in pencil. Accompanied by a photocopy of the contemporary English translation. Professionally restored, intentionally avoiding the area of the signature, thereby creating a slightly darker shading around the signature. VG Karl Holz (1895-1945) German SA Gruppenfuhrer of World War II, the NSDAP Gauleiter of Gau Franconia. Holz was a close associate of Streicher and held the post of editor-in-chief of Der Sturmer from 1927-33.

He further writes of Karin and Gisela, asking his correspondent for an account of them, 'How did they look? Sad? Thin? Worn out? I want an honest account. You can imagine my worries about you and your future. My absolute powerlessness to help you is hard for me to bear. Your loving act in taking responsibility for little Gisela was a great comfort' and also refers to his situation at Nuremberg, 'My mood is going up and down while I wait until at last I am allowed to speak. Hopefully, I can then, after long solitary confinement in silence, express what, for the people's sake, I am determined to say. My cell window bars seem to me to become darker….'
