Court rules Hess must stand trial in Nuremberg case
The International Military Tribunal ruled Rudolf Hess and 19 other Nazi leaders must continue trials for war crimes. Hess rejected amnesia claims, saying he would be responsible for his actions. Defense counsel gained first cross examination, with officers like Lahousen and Keitel's attorney challenging wartime policies and the high command. The court adjourned to a later session as political turmoil in Japan prompted calls for resignations and calm investigation.
