The trial in alfred jodl

General Jodl and another German representative, General Hans Georg Fried. The representative of the Allies seriously asked Germany if it understood the surrender clause that Germany should abide by. They said yes. After signing the unconditional surrender, General Jodl said that he wanted to say a few words, which was permission. He said in a low German: "After signing, the fate of the German people and army will be decided by the winner." He continued: "In this war that lasted for more than five years, they may have gained more than any other country and people, but at the same time they suffered more."

When Jodl and Germany surrendered, they demanded that the victors be lenient to the German people and army. But he forgot Germany's ruthless attack, provoked this world war, invaded and established a tragic concentration camp. After the surrender ceremony, in recognition of General Jodl's performance in Remus City, Deng Nici awarded him the Knight Cross in front of the official photographer.

Jodl was quickly arrested. At first, Jodl was not on the list of all allied war criminals. But the Russians insisted that they wanted to accuse him of conveying Hitler's almost unscrupulous orders to the German army in Russia. According to Jackson's theory of collective crime, Americans finally decided to let him complete a list of defendants. In this way, Goering represents the Nazi leadership and air force, schacht represents industry, keitel represents the General Staff, Deng Nici represents the navy, Kalden Bruner represents the SS, and Jodl represents the army.

Jodl tried his best to defend himself in court. In the end, General alfred jodl was charged with crimes against peace: war crimes and crimes against humanity, and participated in the formulation or execution of plots and conspiracies.

He was sentenced to death for committing crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity as stipulated in the Charter of the European International Military Tribunal. However, six years after Jodl was executed, the Munich trial court retried Jodl's four major crimes in Nuremberg, and the result was found not guilty; Only then did he revoke his four charges and be acquitted.
