[con…]cludes with affidavits or testimony of eight defense
witnesses (subsec. G).
Argumentation concerning the slave-labor charges
may be found in both the opening statements (sec. III, Vol. VII, this series)
and closing statements (sec. XI, below). Extensive materials on slave labor
(both argument and evidence) appear in volumes of this series concerning other
cases. See particularly the Milch case, section IV A, Vol. II; the Flick case,
section VII, Vol. VI; the Krupp case, section VIII, Vol. IX; and the Ministries
case, section XI, Vol. XIII. The use of Zyklon B gas to exterminate
concentration-camp inmates and medical experimentation upon enslaved persons
were also the subject of the charges of count three of the indictment in the
Farben case (par. 131). The evidence submitted by both prosecution and defense
on these charges was particularly extensive and many of the issues as joined
were highly complicated. None of the defendants was found guilty under these
charges. Because of space limitations, evidence on these subjects has not been
included herein, unless it be in a passing reference made in evidence otherwise
relating directly to the slave-labor charges. A British Military Court
conducted a trial which involved the distribution of Zyklon B gas to
concentration camps for the purpose of exterminating human beings. This trial,
"The Zyklon B case," is reported in "Law Reports of Trials of War Criminals,
Selected and Prepared by the United Nations War Crimes Commission," volume I,
pp. 93-103. |
