🎧 Episode 8 - Who is Truly Guilty?

Episode summary: October 1945 and the trial starts in less than a month – but do the Russians genuinely want it to happen? They seem to be employing delaying tactics – is it because they can also be accused of war crimes? Or is it just another regular SNAFU? Each day brings a new problem: first, to find enough German lawyers to represent the 22 defendants (but access to American PX supplies closes the deal for most of them)…can Russia provide translations of its documents (Stalin had executed most people in Russia who could speak a foreign language)?…the rivalry between the judges (Biddle expected to be appointed President of the Court, but Truman conceded it should be the British judge)…and yet, somehow, they manage to start on time. Starring Nicholas Woodeson as Sir Geoffrey Lawrence, the President of the Court and Nathan Wiley as Judge Parker.
