This volume includes evidence of the extermination of the Jews, experiments on living people, the murder of mental patients, atrocities against children at Auschwitz and the British Government's report on the murder of 50 RAF officers from Stalag Luft III.
It also incorporates the submission of evidence by Goering’s defence, notably General Karl von Bodenschatz, who was the liaison officer between Goering and Hitler until the July 20 Plot in 1944, who was later sentenced two years in prison, and Erhard Milch, a German Field-Marshal of Jewish descent who oversaw the development of the Luftwaffe.
