Trial of Werner Rohde and Eight Others
The Trial of Werner Rohde and Eight Others was the trial of several members of the Nazi regime in Germany for the execution of British agents without a trial.
== Background information and proceedings ==
On June 1, 1946, nine members of The Third Reich were charged with the murders of four British women. Wolfgang Zeus, Magnus Wochner, Emil Meier, Peter Straub, Fritz Hartjenstein, Franz Berg, Werner Rohde, Emil Bruttel, and Kurt Aus Dem Bruch were all tried and convicted of capital murder of British women sent to aid liaison officers in France. These women assisted in establishing communications between the resistance movement in France and London. The names of the victims were Andrée Borrel, Sonia Olschanezky, Vera Leigh and Diana Rowden. Two of these women were a part of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and the other two were a part of the First Aid Women's Yeomanry. All four were sent by the SOE for French resistance efforts. Thought to be spies of the Allied Powers, the Nazi regime detained them and eventually imprisoned them in the Natzweiler Camp. There, these women were allegedly inhumanely killed by lethal injection and then cremated without a previous trial regarding the execution. Major Bill Barkworth of the SAS and Vera Atkins of the SOE were in charge of the prosecution. Under Article 29 of the Hague Convention of 1907 the women were not considered spies because of their purpose to obtain intelligence openly for communicating to their own army. Also, they were not wearing disguises when captured by the SS. Article 30 states that no spy can be punished until a trial has been completed. The Judge Advocate goes on to state that because the women were sent by plane to help with communications they can not ultimately be perceived as spies but because of the previously stated circumstances the judge admitted that these four women could have been mistaken as spies. However, because there was no evidence of a trial before the lethal injections someone must be found guilty for these war crimes. Moreover, the Judge Advocate starts his argument that under the "Laws of Humanity" no person shall be put to death by another human being. Even if a person argues innocence due to the fact that they were not present during the murder, that accused individual can still be found guilty if evidence shows they had knowledge of the murder before it happened.
