 Herman Wilhelm Goering-Num- Der ? Nazi boss-sentenced to the gallows. The Court said: His guilt is unique in its enormity. There is no excuse for this man. Goering turned livid in his rage over the judgment.
 Joachim Won Ribbentrop, foreign minister who was cynical of treat ies-sentenced to die. The Court brushed aside his whimperings that he was but Hitler's errand boy.
 Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel- Chief of the High Command-sen- fenced to hang. He bowed his head as the Court excoriated him for trying to wriggle out on the ground that he only did a soldiers job. There is nothing in mitigation, said the Tribunal, where crimes as shocking and extensive have been committed consciously, ruthlessly, and without military excuse or jus tification.

 Fritz Sauckel-father of ten chill dren, whose slave labor program was denounced as butchery-con- demned to hang.
 Wilhelm F'rick-one of Hitler's original beer hall mob-Sentenced to hang. He knew, said the Court, that the insane, the sick and the 'aged-the useless eaters as the Nazis called them-were being put to death systematically
 Arthur Seyss- -Inquart-near- sight ed betrayer of Austria and the gauleiter of both Poland and Hol- land-doomed to hang. He was des- crihed as ruthless in applying ter rorism to suppress all opposition in the Netherlands.
