Manfred Roeder (judge)
Manfred Roeder( August 20, 1900 – October 18, 1971) was a military judge in Nazi Germany.
Serving on the highest wartime court, he led the investigation and examinations and later the prosecution of the German Resistance group, the Red Orchestra.
He shared responsibility for the dozens of death sentences handed down by the Reich court martial to Red Orchestra members.
After Germany's defeat in World War II, there were attempts by survivors, family and the U.S. Army to investigate the prosecutions of Red Orchestra members and others, but Roeder was never convicted of any malfeasance or crime because the Allies thought it more expedient to use his' expertise' to hunt down the Red Orchestra members a second time than to mete out justice for victims of the Nazis; this time to aid the Western Allies with information about the Russians in the nascent cold war.

Red Orchestra (espionage)
The Red Orchestra, or the Red Chapel as it was known in Germany, was the name given by the Gestapo to anti-Nazi resistance workers during World War II.
These included friends of Harro Schulze- Boysen and Arvid Harnack in Berlin, as well as groups working independently of these intelligence groups, working in Paris and Brussels, that were built up on behalf of Leopold Trepper on behalf of the Soviet Main Directorate of State Security( GRU).
Contrary to legend, the Red Orchestra was neither directed by Soviet communists nor under a single leadership but a network of groups and individuals, often operating independently.
To date, about 400 members are known by name.
They printed illegal leaflets hoping to incite civil disobedience, helped Jews and opposition escape the regime, documented the crimes of the Nazi regime and forwarded military intelligence to the Allies.
To this day, the public perception of the" Red Orchestra" is characterized by the transfigurations of the post-war years and the Cold War.

It included Horst Kopkow whose death was feigned by MI5 and who re-habilitated him under an assumed identity into West Germany.
