MEMORANDUM OF THE FRENCH PROSECUTION

REJECTING THE MOTION TO AMEND THE
INDICTMENT
Prosecution
International Military Tribunal
FRENCH DELEGATION
Annex 13
The Delegate of the Provisional
Government of the French Republic
of the Prosecution to the
International Military Tribunal
to
The Members of the International
Military Tribunal
Nuremberg, 20 November 1945
I have the honor to inform you that the decision rendered by you on 17
November at 1500 hours, to reject the motion signed the 16th by Mr.
Justice JACKSON, Colonel POKROVSKY and M. de MENTHON cannot reject the
declaration contained, according to which “The Committee of the
Prosecutors created according to the Charter, designates Alfried KRUPP
VON BOHLEN UND HALBACH as a defendant” because this declaration has been
made as the last resort, under Article 14 b of the Charter.
Accordingly, Alfried KRUPP VON BOHLEN UND HALBACH is specifically
designated as a major war criminal.
Consequently, I have the honor to inform you that the following
declaration has been published by the Chief Prosecutors representing
Great Britain and the Government of the French Republic:
“The Prosecutors representing the United States of America, the
Provisional Government of the French Republic, and the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics having agreed in the designation of Alfried
KRUPP as a major war criminal under Article 14 b of the Charter of the
International Military Tribunal, the French and British Delegations are
now engaged in the examination of the cases of other leading German
industrialists, as well as certain other major war criminals, with a
view to their attachment with Alfried KRUPP, in an indictment to be
presented at a subsequent trial.”
We will let you know of this new indictment as soon as it is
established.
For the Delegate
/s/ CHARLES DUBOST
