Roland Freisler
He was brought before the People's Court of Nazi Germany ("Volksgerichtshof") on 21 December 1944. However, while Schlabrendorff was awaiting trial, the courtroom took a direct hit from a bomb during an American air raid led by Lt. Col. Robert Rosenthal. The bomb killed Roland Freisler, the president of the People's Court, who was found crushed by a beam, still clutching Schlabrendorff's file.
