Relax, i'm not disagreeing with you as seems to be our forum habit, i just think Doenitz was unjustly railroaded.

"Waging an aggressive war" is a completely asinine charge to make against a military man. Of COURSE he waged an aggressive war. Isn't that what soldiers and sailors are supposed to do for their country?

So was "Violating the laws of war at sea" another stupid charge to make, especially when each and every one of the Allied countries doing the proscecuting broke the same exact laws he was accused of, except our people got medals for it while he got 10 years in Spandau prison.
