Sentenced to death. He flushed at the verdict. Joachim von Ribbentrop was convicted of the same crimes, received a death sentence. He sat motionless, eyes half closed, lips tightly shut. William Keitel also convicted of crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity, sentenced to death. He stood upright taking the verdict in a military manner and strode smartly from the dock… Julius Streicher convicted of crimes against humanity received the death penalty. He stopped chewing his gum when he grasped the court’s decision…”. And so the other defendants.
