	Hans Fritzsche
		For the correct definition of the role of defendant Hans Fritzsche it is necessary, firstly, to keep clearly in mind the importance attached by Hitler and his closest associates (as Goering, for example) to propaganda in general and to radio propaganda in particular.
		The assertion that Fritzsche was not informed of the war crimes and the Crimes against humanity then being perpetrated by the Hitlerites in the occupied regions does not agree with the facts.
		From Fritzsche's testimony in Court it is obvious that already in May, 1944, while in the Propaganda Section of the 6th Army, he was aware of Hitler's decree ordering execution for all Soviet political workers and Soviet intellectuals, the so-called "Commissar Decree".

	Why They Confess
		Hans Fritzsche lived for months in a Russian prison and was made to “confess.” Then, as events developed, he came up for trial not in a Communist court but at Nürnberg, before the international tribunal for war criminals.
		Fritzsche, a high-placed Nazi who was freed at Nürnberg but is now serving nine years in prison camp by order of one of the Germans’ own denazification courts, is perhaps not the most reliable or objective witness in the world.
		Fritzsche says he could count on the fingers of one hand the Soviet guards who ever overstepped their limits; and on the fingers of one hand the Western guards in the Nürnberg jail who did not.

	Prosecute US Corporate Media Whores For War Crimes By Davi Walsh
		Fritzsche began commenting on radio in September 1932, discussing political events on his own weekly program, "Hans Fritzsche Speaks." That same year the regime of Franz von Papen appointed him head of the Wireless (Radio) News Department, a government agency.
		Fritzsche was named head of the German Press Division in 1938 after the "primitive military-like" methods of his predecessor, Alfred Ingemar Berndt, created "a noticeable crisis in confidence of the German people in the trustworthiness of its press," in Fritzsche's words.
		The prosecution in the Fritzsche case raised an issue that is of the greatest relevance today: the role of Nazi media propaganda in inuring the German population to the sufferings of other peoples and, indeed, urging Germans to commit war crimes.

	US prosecuted Nazi propagandists as war criminals
		According to Fritzsche’s own affidavit: “During the whole period from 1933 to 1945 it was the task of the German Press Division to supervise the entire domestic press and to provide it with directives by which this division became an efficient instrument in the hands of the German State leadership.
		It is worth quoting extensively from the Fritzsche prosecutor’s conclusion, for it sheds considerable light on the role of the media in the modern age, as well as the democratic sensibilities of those pursuing the Nazi war criminals, sensibilities that no longer carry any weight within US ruling circles.
		The prosecution went on: “For the correct definition of the role of defendant Hans Fritzsche it is necessary, firstly, to keep clearly in mind the importance attached by Hitler and his closest associates (as Goering, for example) to propaganda in general and to radio propaganda in particular.

		It's hard for me to think that these trials were fair and just when there is strong evidence to suggest that many of these prisoners were tortured and/or forced to sign affidavits.
		Of these, Fritzsche was acquitted, so I'm not sure what problems you have about the outcome in his case.
