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.

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...
