Description
These affidavits, dated variously from 1948 to 1949, attest to the innocence of convicted Nazi War Criminal and SS member Dr. Martin Sandberger, who was sentenced to death by hanging by the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg war crimes trial.
Based on related corresondence, most or all of these affidavits were likely sent to United States Senator William Langer by the Reverend T. W. Strieter of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Chicago. Also in the Langer Collection are several letters from Strieter to Langer in which Strieter refers to enclosed "affidavits" or "documents" that he says indicate either Sandberger's innocence or that Sandberger did not receive a fair trial. In most of those cases the referenced enclosed documents were not found with the letter that referenced them. The number of affidavits in this group does not match the number of documents referenced in any one letter, nor the total of all referenced documents, so it is not immediately clear which of these affidavits, if any, go with which letters in the Langer Collection.
