Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression
Preface

Harry-trumanOn the 2nd day of May 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9547 appointing Justice Robert H. Jackson as Representative of the United States and as its Chief of Counsel in the preparation and prosecution of the case against the Major Axis War Criminals. Since that date and up to the present, the staff of the Office of Chief of Counsel-(OCC), has been engaged continuously in the discovery, collection, examination, translation, and marshaling of documentary evidence demonstrating the criminality of the former leaders of the German Reich.

I had been indicted for treason before the People’s Court and the only reason I was not executed was the fact that my files were destroyed once in Berlin, and once at the Gestapo office in Nurnberg. One of the reasons for my indictment was the fact that I had told friends the truth about the parachute enterprise in Crete in May 1941, and also that I had taken pictures there. I am attaching an order of the German Army, which I appropriate and kept, issued by the divisional staff of the Parachute Division, commanded by General Kurt Student. I shall now describe the manner in which I was enabled to take the photo mentioned above.
