Doenitz became Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy in 1943 but the evidence does not show he knew of Hitler’s plans
to initiate war. He did have the U-boat arm of the Navy prepared for war, however, and was solely in charge of this area of
the military. While in control of the U-boats, Doenitz allowed them to sink all merchant ships, regardless of the ships were
enemy or neutral. In 1944 he ordered 12,000 concentration camp prisoners to be employed in the shipyards for additional
labor. He is ultimately unsure if this order was carried out as Doenitz was not in charge of the shipyards, but it does offer
evidence of his knowledge of the concentration camps’ existence.

Göring werd aangeklaagd op alle drie de punten, Dönitz alleen op punt 2, vandaar dat zijn straf minder was.

Ik vind het vervelend om meteen al bij mijn eerste berciht hier op het forum betweterig te gaan doen, maar Dönitz werd aangeklaagd op de punten 1, 2 en 3. Hij werd uiteindelijk veroordeeld op de punten 2 en 3. (oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de vrede.)
Er moet ook niet vergeten worden dat Dönitz verdedigd werd door de man die volgens sommige de beste advocaat van het hele proces was, Flottenrichter Otto Kranzbühler.
