Judge Roland Freisler in the dock in Nuremberg

arrowiv

Judge Roland Freisler is better known as the chief judge of the People's Court of the Third Reich and presided over the trials of the 20 July 1944 plotters and would constantly scream at them at the top of his lungs during their trials. Freisler was actually killed on 3 February 1945 when a USAAF bombing raid on Berlin scored a direct hit on the People's Court building when he was actually in the middle of a session. WI he was not at his courthouse on that fateful day and survives past 1945, only to be tried by the Allies at Nuremberg as a war criminal?
Imagine the ultimate irony: Judge Roland Freisler is now being tried as a criminal in a court of law.

Well, I don't think prosecuting the July 1944 guys would be enough to warrant a trip to Nuremberg, but I see that this guy was also at the Wannsee Conference, so that'd do it. Other than that, it seems like he was given too much power for a judge and abused it to the hilt, so I'm pretty sure he'd get some heavy sentencing.
