Last War Crime Trial of Nazi General Due in Germany
Aug 23 in Hamburg is set for the trial of General Von Manstein, the 938th and last Nazi war crimes defendant before British military justice. A British Army summary notes charges include atrocities against Polish civilians and POWs, mass executions, recruitment of prisoners, and anti German actions across Russia. A medical exam last May found him fit to stand trial, while his former superior Runstedt and Strauss receive separate determinations.
