The Advisory Board’s Recommendations Sample Clauses

The Advisory Board’s Recommendations. The Advisory Board submitted its report to XxXxxx on August 28. Not surprisingly, the Board disagreed with the vast majority of the sentences imposed by the tribunals and affirmed by General Xxxx, recommending that XxXxxx commute the sentences of 7 of the 15 defendants sentenced to death and reduce the sentences of 77 of the 90 defendants sentenced to terms of imprisonment.111 Many of the suggested reductions were significant, such as the Board‘s recommendation that XxXxxx reduce Xxxxx‘s sentence from life to 15 years112 and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx‘s sentence – imposed because the Einsatzkommando he commanded had executed hundreds of Jews – from life to 10 years. Even more dramatically, the Board recommended that XxXxxx commute Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx‘s death sentences to time served.113 Both Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (a descendant of the legendary composer) were high-ranking officers in Xxxxxxxxx‘s Einsatzgruppe D, which Xxxxxxxxx admitted had killed more than 90,000 Jews. The Advisory Board‘s recommendations met significant resistance from U.S. officials involved in the war-crimes program. Xxxx Xxxxxxx, a State Department official who had been one of Xxxx‘s legal advisers for the sentence reviews, believed that the proposed reductions were so lenient – particularly Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx‘s – that they would undermine the legitimacy of the NMTs.114 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, HICOG‘s general counsel and XxXxxx‘s trusted advisor, was even more critical. He agreed with Xxxxxxx about the potential impact of the report: ―certain statements by the Board suggest that they have striven to be as lenient as possible, and I am concerned lest the report as a whole create the impression of a repudiation of the Nuremberg trials.‖ He was particularly incensed by the Board‘s recommendation of clemency for Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, and Xxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxx, defendants in High Command, because of their ―alleged subordinate positions‖ – as he pointed out, xxx Xxxxxxxx was a Field Marshal and Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx were Lieutenant Generals.115 And he was so disturbed by the Board‘s soft-pedaling of the crimes committed by the defendants in the Medical case and Einsatzgruppen that he directed 109 XXXXXXXX, AMERICA’S GERMANY, 164. The Board referred to the trial record “in only two or three instances.” Xxxxxxxx, XxXxxx and Landsberg, 446. 110 XXXXX, 370-71. 111 Cited in XXXXXX, XXXXXX’X GENERALS, 163. 112 Advisory Board on Clemency Report, 28 Aug. 1950, TTP-5-3-2-11, at 3. 113 XXXX, 283. ...
