Twelve men and women are scheduled to appear before the court on the morning of December 15, 1942. Among them are Mildred and Arvid Harnack and Libertas and Harro Schulze-Boysen. The mass trial will resume in early January 1943 and continue until all seventy-six defendants are prosecuted. Hitler will receive daily reports. For the first time in history, the judges of the Reich Court-Martial won’t have the final word. All verdicts and sentencing must be approved by the Führer.
