Later, talking among themselves, some of the Nazi judges expressed disbelief in the magnitude of the Holocaust. Emil Hahn was angered at being made to watch these films since he felt that he and the other defendants were not responsible. A friend that Judge Haywood makes among the Nuremberg citizens, Mrs. Bertholt, talks to the judge about the war and that most Germans didn't know what was happening. The scene then focuses on Germans singing in a bar. The message is that the German people are ready to forget.
Defense counsel speaks to the content of the films shown the previous day.
He states that there is no justification for what happened, but, that it was wrong and unfair to show such films in court against these defendants. He claims that the extremists are responsible, not the defendants. He says that very few Germans knew what was going on. He claimed that the defendants stayed in their positions to keep things from getting worse. The defense then calls Irene Hoffman.
