Summary

[edit]
Description "Had the 20th of July bomb plot against Hitler succeeded there would have been strikes and civil war within Germany," the former head of the German national defense testified today in his trial at Nuernberg. General Walter Warlimont is one of thirteen generals and one admiral indicted at Nuernberg on war crimes for their alleged participation as leaders and accomplices in the third Reich's aggressive wars. Warlimont, who was present and wounded in the explosions at Hitler's staff meeting, told the American court that the removal of Hitler would have neither brought peace nor democracy to Germany. Under the direct examination of his attorney he stated, "Already there were fanatic National Socialists in the army with ranks of Captain and Major; in the air force the doctrine was even at the highest levels, and the SS was entirely a party group - a state within a state. There were even divisions among the people who for 12 years had heard the same party line and had been effected either favorably or unfavorably from the NSDAP. Out of all this chaos there was not a single person who could have brought these factions together and achieve a peace and a democratic government." [Original Descriptive Caption]
