...young captain on the bridge of Kaiser Wilhelm II's yacht Hohenzollern had ambitions to match those of his master: both wanted to bust the bully-bold British Navy. In World War I Hamburg-born Erich Raeder, promoted to chief of staff in the Kaiser's brand-new cruiser squadrons, had a brief taste of glory in the battles of Doggerbank and Jutland (in which the British were powerfully mauled), but at war's end the barnacled fleet had to scuttle itself to avoid capture. Returning from Versailles. Raeder said: "Just wait 25 years...
...Raeder's claim to this distinction could not be shared by the five top war criminals he left behind him in Spandau: one time Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess, Hitler Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach, Munitions-Maker Albert Speer, former Reichsbank President Walther Funk and Doenitz. But in other prisons under British, French and U.S. control, there are still 104 lesser war criminals whose status is now likely to come under review...
...have Von Neurath, we would all go crazy." They were an ill-assorted lot: fat, bald, obscene Walter Funk (No. 6); rich, young, suicidal Baldur von Schirach (No. 1); dangerous, unrepentant ex-Admiral Karl Doenitz (No. 2); weird, half-sane Rudolf Hess (No. 7): arthritic, pious ex-Admiral Erich Raeder (No. 4).

For one, I urgently protest the tenor of Thompson's protest. As a matter of fact, I protest having to protest the protest...
...GERMAN WAR PRISONERS AT SPANDAU REFERENCE TO THESE MEN AS "SEVEN OF THE BLACKEST NAZIS STILL ALIVE" IS CONTRARY TO FACT, BIASED, AND SERVES TO PREJUDICE THE PENDING APPEALS FOR THESE MEN. RUDOLF HESS TOOK POSITIVE ACTION FOR PEACE EARLY IN WORLD WAR II. GRAND ADMIRAL DOENITZ AND ADMIRAL RAEDER WERE COURAGEOUS NAVAL LEADERS. BARON VON NEURATH, ALBERT SPEER, WALTER FUNK AND BALDUR VON SCHIRACH WERE FAITHFUL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS. ALL OF THESE GENTLEMEN DID THEIR DUTY AS THEY SAW IT AND THEIR MISFORTUNE LAY MERELY IN BEING ON THE LOSING SIDE ... A COMMITTEE OF PROMINENT AMERICANS HAS BEEN FORMED...
