Nuremberg Day 8 Concentration Camp Film

On Nov. 29, 1945, the eighth day of the Trial, there was a dramatic change in the nature of the presentation of the Prosecution: a film on the Nazi concentration camps. Associate Prosecutor James Donovan introduced the film. Some observers thought it was perhaps the most powerful and moving evidence of the Trial. The graphic portrayal aroused strong emotions in the defendants' dock.
The film was compiled from motion pictures taken by Allied military photographers as the Allied armies in the West liberated the areas in which these camps were located. The narration was taken from the military photographer's notes.

@JimTLonW6 About the alleged "happiness" of Germany to bomb the civilians of UK, 2 numbers:

1st bombing of Berlin by the RAF: 25th of August 1940

1st bombing of London by the Luftwaffe: 7th of September 1940.

2 weeks before Hitler decided that it was unuseful to try to make Churchill understand that the killing of civilians was a non-sense and that he had no other choice than bombing his aryan brothers of UK...

@JimTLonW6

Dr. Charles Larson, one of America's leading forensic pathologists, who was assigned to the US Army's Judge Advocate General's Department. In an 1980 newspaper interview he said: "What we've heard is that six million Jews were exterminated. Part of that is a hoax." And what part was the hoax? Dr. Larson was the only forensic pathologist on duty in the entire European Theater of Allied military operations, confirmed that "never was a case of poison gas uncovered."

@JimTLonW6 Dr Barton testified in a Toronto courtroom in 1985 that "Thousands of prisoners who died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II weren't deliberately starved to death but died from a rash of diseases." and that on entering the camp he had credited stories of deliberate starvation but decided such stories were untrue after inspecting the well equipped kitchens and the meticulously maintained ledgers, dating back to 1942, of food cooked and dispensed each day.

@JimTLonW6 You can search informations about Dr Charles Larson and Dr John E. Gordon. Dr Larson proceeded more than a thousand autopsies for the Allies in Dachau and about 20 other nazis camps. He found no case of gassings and declared that " the main cause of death in the nazi camps where he had been was typhus". Try to find pictures of people who have typhus or died from typhus and tell me if those pictures don't look like those taken in the nazi concentration camps after their liberation...

@JimTLonW6 A strategical mistake taken by authorities who didn't know what the situation exactly was in their camps. Are you saying that American generals never gave any wrong orders without really knowing what the situation was on their battlefields and prisoner camps? How do you explain the decision of Eisenhower to let the German POWs die from starvation at a moment when food was available?

[JimTLonW6]

@kazan188 Not deliberate? They were sending prisoners there right up to the end of the War (despite the transport problems), and according to you they would have known that the prisoners couldn't be fed. That's deliberate starvation to my mind.

@JimTLonW6 You can also read about the letters sent by Kramer, the commandant of the camp of Belsen, in which he speaks about a "catastrophy" and calls for help to fight against this sanitary hecatomb...

[kazan188]

@JimTLonW6 To understand that starvation of prisoners was not deliberate, you should read about Dr Russell Barton, the doctor who spent more than 1 month in Bergen Belsen after the camp was liberated by the British troops. According to him, the poor condition of the inmates of Belsen camp was not caused by a deliberate policy of the Germans ruling the camp and a few month before the meals given to the inmates were normal (Belsen, Dr Barton, 1975).

[JimTLonW6]

@kazan188 Well, it was you that quoted a propaganda film! However, don't give me that hogwash about allied attacks on German civilians; Germany was perfectly happy to attack civilians in the UK and did so until German losses made it impossible to continue. Germany reaped what it sowed.

[kazan188]

@JimTLonW6 Sure the rare food still available in the concentration cmaps was first for the guards. Every sensible regime would act the same way. Don't forget typhus, the great "emaciator", which couldn't be fought at the very end of the war.

The Allied cameras were very selective, not death itself. The Allies had no interest to take pictures of the huge number of german civilians they had brought to death. Don't be so naive. Propaganda is never realistic and objective...
