Trials of war criminals before the Nuernberg military tribunals under control council law no. 10, volume I

This volume opens the story of the first of the twelve Nuremberg trials, the so‑called “Medical Case,” where twenty of the twenty‑three defendants were doctors accused of horrific experiments on human beings. Listeners will hear the opening statements, the detailed indictment, and the early exchanges between prosecution and defense, all recorded in both German and English. The material offers a rare glimpse into how the Allied tribunals built their case, presenting original documents, testimony, and the legal framework that underpinned the proceedings.

Beyond the courtroom drama, the work serves as a vital historical record, shedding light on the organization of the German medical system under the Nazi regime and the moral questions that confronted the judges. By preserving the stenographic notes and sound recordings, the collection lets you experience the tension and solemnity of a pivotal moment in international law, making the complex legal and ethical issues accessible to anyone interested in history, justice, or wartime accountability.
