Episode 13 - Just Another Swindle

from Nuremberg: The Trial of the Nazi War Criminals · host BBC Radio 4

April 1946, the trial continues but the German people either don’t believe the evidence or just ignore it. Is it because or in spite of the horrific evidence? But they have to start paying attention – only then can the healing begin.Trial fatigue is setting in: British and American newspapers only want the gruesome stories, and the Germans are doggedly uninterested – it’s either lies or they should just get on and execute them. Even Otto Ohlendorf, who led an SS Einsatzkommando which cold-bloodedly shot 90,000 Jews, talks like an accountant. Starring Alex Kingston as Madeleine Jacob, French foreign correspondent and featuring Jonathan Cullen as Otto Ohlendorf, called to give testimony of his own soldiers’ barbarism.Madeleine Jacob - ALEX KINGSTON Christa - ROSIE SHEEHY Daily Mirror Reporter - ANDREW WOODALL New York Post Reporter - HARI DHILLON Herald Tribune Reporter - CLIVE WOOD Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe - FORBES MASSON John Amen - JOSEPH ALESSI Roman Rudenko - NIGEL LINDSAY Charles Dubost - ILAN GOODMAN Bishop of Limburg - NATHAN WILEY Robert H Jackson - JOSEPH MYDELL Titles - LEWIS MACLEODSound Designer - ADAM WOODHAMS Studio Manager - MARK SMITH Casting Director - GINNY SCHILLER Original Score - METAPHOR MUSIC Writer and Director - JONATHAN MYERSON Producer - NICHOLAS NEWTONA Promenade Production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
