Lastly I take the liberty of suggesting that the films which have been
taken of the atrocities in concentration camps and other criminal acts
be shown to all the defense counsel of the persons accused as this seems
necessary for the instruction of counsel for the defense.

MEMORANDUM OF THE UNITED STATES
PROSECUTION ON THE MOTION ON BEHALF
OF DEFENDANT STREICHER
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, and THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST
REPUBLICS
— against —
HERMANN WILHELM GÖRING, et al.,
Defendants.
The United States of America, acting through its Chief Prosecutor,
opposes the Motion of Counsel for Defendant STREICHER for the following
reasons:
(1)
Since Counsel accepted the assignment to represent said defendant on 27
October 1945, he has been provided with a list of documents relied upon
by the Prosecutor, and has been permitted to examine the documents and
decrees referred to in such list; that such documents and exhibits will
remain available to said Counsel throughout the Trial in the Defendant’s
Information Center in Room No. 54 of the Court House in Nuremberg where
German-speaking custodians are available for assistance in expediting
such examination.
(2)
Said defendant will have additional time to examine documentary evidence
and further prepare his defense until the Prosecution presents its Case
in Chief.
(3)
Defendant STREICHER is the only defendant who has requested
postponement, and his application does not show any facts of hardship
that would follow which would be limited to his particular defense.
Further he does not show any specific injury to his defense if the
Motion should be denied.
(4)
No objection is made to request in Section II of the Motion.
(5)
It is agreed that the film on Concentration Camps may be shown to
Defense Counsel prior to the Trial.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the Motion be overruled.
