 Roosevelt Letter
McCloy states, Alfried Krupp12 emerged as the dominant figure in the early forties when his father Gustav’s13 health began to fail, and in 1944, Alfried became the sole owner and proprietor of the Krupp enterprises by virtue of the special decree, signed by Adolf Hitler and known as the “Lex Krupp”.
Alfried Krupp was indicted, along with eleven other high officials of the Krupp works, for crimes which were directly traceable to their personal responsibility and participation.
McCloy to suggest that these men convicted Alfried Krupp, or that I indicted him, because of “the effect of a name” or because “this Krupp was the next in line” is a most unwarranted and damaging statement, and one which will unavoidably tend to undermine the integrity of the Nuremberg proceedings.
