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...
...along with all six of his companions. Albert Speer, No. 5, Hitler's production genius, said: "If we didn't 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).

The nerve of Mr. Thompson...

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 TO WORK FOR THE RELEASE OF THESE MEN AS WELL AS FOR FIELD MARSHALS MANNSTEIN, LIST...
