Hess and the Nuremberg Trials

Wolf Hess wrote an essay defending his father, which we'll have a link to. The court's treatment of Hess is alone more than enough to dismiss the Nuremberg Tribunal as a vengeful victor's kangaroo court that merely pretended to be a genuine forum of justice. In 1950 Winston Churchill even argued that Hess should be let go partly because of his frantic peace mission and partly on psychological grounds. Wolf Hess also started a petition to get his father released and, by 1974, it had 350,000 signatures.
