This study provides a different perspective on the important
Nuremberg war crimes trial of 1945 and 1946. Friedrich Rainer, an
Austrian Nazi, a lawyer, an influential Gauleiter, and a
well-placed Hitler lieutenant, was a witness for the defendant
Arthur Seyss-Inquart. Rainer was imprisoned in the witnesses' wing
where he had a unique opportunity to observe the trial and its
participants. Later, as a Yugoslav prisoner, he wrote about his
nine-month incarceration. His story, both first-hand and
historical, is more detached than the memoirs of the defendants and
provides a different perspective from the prosecutors. Since he was
not himself on trial, he maintained a certain detachment, yet he
shared some of the extant emotion. Further, Rainer's legal
background allowed him to examine, compare, and analyze the
process. He also endeavored to write with the historian's eye,
distinguishing between fact and rumor, presenting evidence, and
drawing conclusions. Most important, he placed his account in a
larger context than the immediate trial. Finally, this translation,
plus the editor's commentary, provides a glimpse into the world of
a man who embodies much that was typical Nazi, a man who may be
seen as an historian and apologist of National Socialism.
