Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal, Nuremburg, 14 November 1945-1 October 1946, Volume 07

On a chilly February morning in 1946, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg convened for its fifty‑first day. The proceedings capture a tense back‑and‑forth between prosecutors, defense counsel, and the presiding judges as they grapple with the admissibility of a key witness’s testimony. The exchange reveals how the court balanced formal rules of evidence against the unique demands of a war‑crimes trial.

Listeners are taken directly into the vaulted courtroom, hearing the measured arguments of French Deputy Chief Prosecutor Edgar Faure and the meticulous objections of the German staff counsel. The transcript records the careful choreography of legal language, the strategic use of documents, and the weight of moral responsibility shouldered by each participant. This volume offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse of the deliberations that shaped post‑war international law, allowing you to follow history as it unfolded, moment by moment.
