[edit] Brauchitsch, Guderian, Milch
This is a mess. AFAIK, Walther von Brauchitsch was only a witness at the Nuremberg Trials of 1945/46, i.e. the "Trial of the Major War Criminals". He was held prisoner until 1948, when he was to be tried before a British court in Germany (in Hamburg, I suppose). That's where von Brauchitsch died before he could be tried. Where does the American Henry T. King come in? Furthermore, I am not aware of Heinz Guderian having been tried. In any case, neither of them were defendants in the High Command Trial of the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials and unless I'm missing something, they were not defendants at the "Trial of the Major War Criminals". Erhard Milch was tried in the Milch Trial, which, just like the Ministries Trial and the Judges' Trial, was part of the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials. Lupo 15:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've added a specific reference that clarifies these cases and King's role. As you suggest, and King confirms, Guberian was never tried. King appears to have been mistaken about von Brauchitsch's trial; perhaps I'll write King about that. You are also correct that the article needs to make better distinctions between the different trials. Perhaps I'll get to that another day.Easchiff 11:46, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
