I had seen this movie referenced in other film analyses, and figured I would give it a look. I found it to be a very compelling story about how the victors of war judge the losers and in what ways.
The film is about a group of German judges who are on trial for crimes against humanity. The trial is held in front of a panel of American judges. The lawyer for the defense, Rolfe, makes some very powerful arguments that some of the crimes the Germans are on trial for were perpetrated by Americans in similar positions of power, like forced sterilizations.
Rolfe's closing argument for the case against one of the judges, Ernst Janning, lays bare the hypocrisy exhibited by many world actors in leadup to World War II:
>Your Honor, it is my duty to defend Ernst Janning, and yet Ernst Janning has said he is guilty. There's no doubt, he feels his guilt. He made a great error ingoing along with the Nazi movement, hoping it would be good for his country. But, if he is to be found guilty, there are others who also went along, who also must be found guilty.
>Ernst Janning said, 'We succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.' Why did we succeed, Your Honor? What about the rest of the world? Did it not know the intentions of the Third Reich? Did it not hear the words of Hitler's broadcast all over the world? Did it not read his intentions in Mein Kampf, published in every corner of the world?
>Where's the responsibility of the Soviet Union, who signed in 1939 the pact with Hitler, enabled him to make war? Are we not to find Russia guilty?
>Where's the responsibility of the Vatican, who signed in 1933 the Concordat with Hitler, giving him his first tremendous prestige? Are we not to find the Vatican guilty?
>Where's the responsibility of the world leader, Winston Churchill, who said in an open letter to the London Times in 1938 - nineteen THIRTY-EIGHT! Your Honor: 'were England to suffer national disaster should pray to God to send a man of the strength of mind and will of an Adolf Hitler!' Are we not to find Winston Churchill guilty?
>Where is the responsibility of those American industrialists, who helped Hitler to rebuild his armaments and profited by that rebuilding?! Are we not to find the American industrialists guilty?
>No, Your Honor. No! Germany alone is not guilty: The whole world is as responsible for Hitler's Germany.
>It is an easy thing to condemn one man in the dock. It is easy to condemn the German people to s

It was okay. It had a slow moving plot, and I found it hard to follow, but that might have just been me. It had good dialogue and Maximilian Schell (Who unfortunately died yesterday) preformed great in his role.

Netlist '912 patent Claim 16 states: a memory module whereby: The second number of DDR devices smaller than the first number of DDR devices and the second number of ranks smaller than the first number of ranks & DDR4 128 GB modules do this 8X4 ranks & devices. Delay lock loop is substantially the same as PLL of the '912, Samsung admitted. & DDR4 Intel server has 8 channels of 3 slots of 128GB each (3072GB total capacity)&the Command signal goes to only one DDR device at a time ( what '912 patent Claim 16 states) per 3 slots(per 384 Gigabyte). Command signal goes to 8 channels simultaneously. but from then only 1 device at a time( per 384 Gigabyte GB). Samsung in it's Delaware filing made unsubstantiated claims about this. Intel server Xeon for DDR4 memory has 3072Gigabyte (GB) capacity.

I've just watched Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) for the first time. What incredible performances by an impeccable cast! I originally was drawn to this film because I've been on a Judy Garland kick lately, and I read somewhere that this was one of her best performances. I was not, however, prepared for how devastating and important this film is. I am shocked it is not revered as heavily as other important films like "Citizen Kane" or "To Kill a Mockingbird." Does anyone here have any ideas as to why this film has flown under the radars for most audiences? Has this film struck such a strong chord with others on this subreddit?
"All I wanted was to be a useful engine. Useful engines always arrive on time. Useful engines follow orders."
"And were you aware of where you were taking the people you transported?"
"I had only a vague idea sir. I knew they were prisoners. I never knew what was going to...I just...I had my orders and I followed them sir. useful engines follow orders."
"And you never once asked about your orders? Who these people were? Where you were taking them, and why?"
"Useful engines don't ask questions. It wasn't my job to know. It was my job to arrive on time."
"Did you ever consider why the carriages were full on the way there, and always empty on the way back?"
"..."
"Thomas?"
"I am around coal-powered tank engines all day, every day. I know the smell coal makes when it burns. I knew that the smoke in that place wasn't coal."
"And you took thousands of people there every day, for two full years?"
"Those were my orders. If I didn't follow them I would be dead too. A useful engine always follows orders, and there was no place in the Reich for useless engines."
"So you valued your life over the lives of the countless innocent people you carried to their deaths?"
"Do you think they would still be alive if I didn't? Don't you think they would have found another engine to arrive on time? Those people were dead before they even stepped on the platform. Nothing I could have done would have changed that. The only difference between me and them was that I had a choice; a choice to move forward and live, or stay put and die. I made the choice for the lowest possible number of people to die. Is self-preservation a crime?"
"If you knew what was happening, why did you agree to take the job in the first place?"
"You think I knew then? All anyone knew then was that things were better than they had been. The trains were running on time and if you didn't ask too many questions you could have a good life. We were still confident that victory was on the horizon. I only found out what was going on when it was too late for me to say no. There were no choices left for me then - move forward or stay put; live or die."
"Why do you think you were given the job you were given? Why not transporting troops or supplies to the front? What do you think they saw in you that made you suitable?"
"I was never there first choice! The Allies had bombed the Reich's infrastructure to smithereens, there was nobody else left. You bombed Herr Gordon, Herr J
