Is there any evidence that it was American, British,
French, and Soviet policy to torture German prisoners in order to exact
confessions before the trials at Nuremberg and elsewhere?
20. Is there any evidence that it was American, British, French,
and Soviet policy to torture German prisoners in order to exact
confessions before the trials at Nuremberg and elsewhere?
The IHR says:
Yes. Torture was extensively used to produce fraudulent
"evidence" for the infamous Nuremberg trials, and in other
postwar "war crimes" trials.
Nizkor replies:
No doubt there were some cases of mistreatment. Some Allied soldiers
were so shocked with what they saw in the camps that they reacted with
violence, but this is not a serious factor in the overall picture. This
is a long way from a policy of torture inflicted to extract confessions.
As was asked in the reply to
question 1:
what torture or coercion could possibly reach across decades to convince
a Nazi to continue testifying about the horrors of the Holocaust in the
60s, 70s, and 80s? What torture or coercion was being applied to Nazis
while they awaited trial in German courts?
Try this experiment:
Email
Greg Raven,
the
head
of the IHR, at
revisionism@corax.org.
Ask him:
"The Jewish people are being exterminated," says every
Party member, "quite true, it's part of our plans, the elimination
of the Jews, extermination, we're doing it."
Send a Cc of your email to
webmaster@nizkor.org,
and ask Mr. Raven to do the same.
