Brauchitsch
Though the source claims so, Walter von Brauchitsch wasn't charged at Nuremberg, he was interrogated as a witness. It was planed to charge him along Erich von Manstein in Hamburg in 1949, but Brauchitsch died before. HerkusMonte (talk) 09:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)


 * You might very well be right - I thought he was charged but never sentenced. I can't access the book you link to. You should also raise it at his article.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:29, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * On this one - I just saw information that they were "denied the right to defend themselves" - can you provide a page number? (It might have been a reference to the second group of ten that were in the hospital during the trial and were tried later).Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:44, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * And with regard to the 'lawyer' thing - I believe he finished law studies though I don't know if he ever practiced law.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:45, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Schenk doesn't claim to be a lawyer on his website nor does he claim to have studied law, I'm sure he would have mentioned such a study. Penal law is off course part of his education as a police officer, but "lawyer" is a specific term.
 * Schenk mentions the single defending officer only for the 28 postmen, I couldn't find details about the further 10. HerkusMonte (talk) 17:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, sounds good. Any more info on whether Brauchitsch was actually charged or "intended to be charged"?Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Brauchitsch was definitely not charged at Nuremberg, I just have to look for a "good" source, this will take some time.HerkusMonte (talk) 17:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Changed it to "was going to be charged" - which I believe is undisputable - for now.Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The Subsequent Nuremberg Trials were a number of trials following the main Nuremberg trial. The only Brauchitsch-related trial would have been the High Command trial, but B. isn't mentioned here. His biography at the Deutsches Historisches Museum website mentions his interrogation as a witness at Nuremberg and the planned trial at Hamburg (not Nuremberg).
 * Is it actually that important? He was definitely not charged (nor would have been) for his role in this affair and he was not directly involved in the trial, he "only" rejected a clemency appeal. HerkusMonte (talk) 18:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that the fact that he was going to be charged for war crimes is relevant. Where he was going to be charged and how less so.Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
