(Wall Street Journal) Edward Rothstein - Hermann Goring, the creator of the Gestapo and the supreme commander of the Luftwaffe, was one of 24 high-level political and military Nazi leaders at the International Military Tribunal Trial of Major War Criminals held in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 1945 to October 1946. Following the verdicts of judges from the four Allied powers (the U.S., Britain, France and the Soviet Union), 10 were hanged, three were acquitted and others were given long sentences. Goring killed himself the night before his scheduled trip to the gallows. While the English transcripts have long been available as part of Yale University's Avalon Project, the complete recordings have been put online for the first time by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, along with the 37 reels of film introduced into evidence at the trial.
