HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 c138W
80. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what was the composition of the German court which found that Theodore Wisch, S.S. Brigadefuehrer and commander of the Division Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler had no guilty knowledge of the criminal aims of the S.S.

Mr. Bevin

The court in question was one of those set up under Military Government Ordinance No. 69 for the purpose of trying members of the organisations declared criminal by the Nuremberg Tribunal. It was composed, in accordance with the pro visions of the Ordinance, of a chairman qualified to hold judicial office and two lay assessors.
