This newspaper contains a front page heading and long report of the
indictment of 23 Nazi doctors by the International Court at Nuremberg, Germany
on charges of war crimes during WW II.
There is also a prominent front page photo showing FRANK SINATRA and his wife Nancy. Sinatra is a young singing sensation at this point in his life.
The Doctors' trial (officially
United States of America v.
Karl Brandt
, et al.
) was the first of 12 trials for
war crimes
of German doctors that the
United States
authorities held in their occupation zone in
Nuremberg
,
Germany
after the end of
World War II
. These trials were held before US military courts, not before the
International Military Tribunal
, but took place in the same rooms at the
Palace of Justice
. The trials are collectively known as the "
Subsequent Nuremberg Trials
", formally the "Trials of War Criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals" (NMT).
Twenty of the 23 defendants were medical doctors (
Viktor Brack
,
Rudolf Brandt
, and
Wolfram Sievers
were
Nazi
officials), and were accused of having been involved in
Nazi human experimentation
and
mass murder under the guise of euthanasia
.
Josef Mengele
, one of the leading Nazi doctors, had evaded capture.
The judges in this case, heard before Military Tribunal I, were
Walter B. Beals
(presiding judge) from
Washington
,
Harold L. Sebring
from
Florida
, and
Johnson T. Crawford
from
Oklahoma
, with
Victor C. Swearingen
, a former special assistant to the
Attorney General
of the United States, as an alternate judge. The Chief of Counsel for the Prosecution was
Telford Taylor
and the chief prosecutor was
James M. McHaney
. The
indictment
was filed on October 25, 1946; the trial lasted from December 9 that year until August 20, 1947. Of the 23 defendants, seven were acquitted and seven received death sentences; the remainder received prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment.
