Description
In this letter, dated February 2, 1950, from the Reverend T.W. Strieter of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Chicago to United States (US) Senator William Langer Strieter refers to enclosed materials he hopes Langer can put to use in preventing the impending execution of convicted Nazi war criminal Dr. Martin Sandberger.
Among the documents, Strieter writes, is a letter written to him from Sandberger's father, Karl V. Sandberger, who has heard on the radio that authorities charged with the re-examination of verdicts reached in the Nuremberg Trials have found the procedures followed in those trials to be above criticism. Strieter writes that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy hopes that the Inspector General's Office might review these cases individually, but that Strieter himself doubts this will happen.
