Talk:Belsen trials

Previous discussions without headers

The Belsen Trial did not institute the charges of "Crimes Against Humanity". These were first introduced in the subsequent Nuremburg trials. Check your sources, or consult the online version of Raymond Phillip's "The Belsen Trial", which gives a close account of the proceedings: http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/WCC/belsen1.htm

This is my first ever excusion into Wikipedia. I added the facts of the "second Belsen Trial" because my family and I were there and my father, Karl Hess was a witness for the prosecution at that trial. I have the complete transcript from which the information is taken.

Some explanations

Some notes on my edit: I replaced the original links to the University of the West of England cause they were dead. Rather than going through wayback machine, I found the same content on a different site. This is now used as the source for the trial transcript.

Moreover, I made some use of the German WP article de:Bergen-Belsen-Prozess...in particular for the spelling of the defendants' names - which the British authorities got wrong quite often. Where there are contradictions I gave preference to the spelling in the German article or to a panel in the exhibition at the Belsen-Memorial that lists the names and sentences for all the defendants. If necessary, I can post a picture of the list of SS personnel and related info. Some of the new content is also from the German WP article - I kept the references, but sometimes there was just one citation per paragraph and in these cases I assumed that all the content is from that source. Not sure what the official rule about umlauts (ä,ö,ü) is...

Further work: The German article has a gallery with mug shots of some of the defendants. Should we have that here, too? Also, they list the rank or function of all the defendants, but there is no source given for this. Might be in the transcript somewhere... Finally, the German WP has more pages on the defendants than the English one does. Should we link to German pages where no English ones exist? Drow69 (talk) 18:28, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Kohlmann's release date

I think Anneliese Kohlmann's release date is wrong; she was sentenced to two years on 16-May-1946, appealed shortly afterwards, her mother also appealed on her behalf on 1-Jun-1946 and it was finally reviewed in February 1947, being dismissed on 26-Feb-1947 ("Grese was also 23 and she was hanged, Kohlmann should consider her sentence merciful and lenient" kind of thing) with the implication that she was still in prison. But I say "looks wrong" as I can't find a release date. AFAICT most of those with shorter sentences got no discount in lieu of time served so she was probably released in May 1948, but it seems unlikely she was released just month after she was sentenced to two years.

Obviously "that looks wrong to me" isn't quite enough to change it, but that looks wrong to me, etc. --Vometia (talk) 10:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
