Gentle sentences for unbelieveable monsters,
By Etienne Lorenceau (Bethesda, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trials of War Criminals Before the Nuernberg Military Trubunals Under Control Council Law No. 10 (Green Series) (Hardcover)
This is not a book but a series of volumes often referred to as the "geen series". It covers the crimes of less known criminals but often even worst than the [in]famous Goering, Ribbentrop, Kaltenbruner, Hess, Franck, Keitel etc... The people judged here are the ones who actually invented the refinements for materializing their masters' devious nightmares, and later attempted to hide their guilt behind the existence of verbal or written orders. The court didn't get fooled and the sentences are nevertheless surprisingly lax. It is naturally extremely well documented, and, with its interrogation and counter examinations, it is a precious document in itself. The series proves that nazism is not just the infamous work of a mad Hitler, but the combined personal ambitions of public servants who thought they wouldn't have to be held accountable: decisions get difused to cause a monstruous result. It is obvious that this lesson of history has escaped modern societies. There is no doubt that the series is worth its (heavy but not expensive) price for the serious student of the Holocaust or for the serious student of politics.
