Assuming that the Soviets somehow manage to take him alive at Berlin, and he’s subsequently tried at Nuremberg along his best pals, how would his trial unfold? Specifically:
1. What sort of defense (if at all) would he try to make? Since he can’t possibly claim to just be following orders.
2. What would his interactions with the other Nazis on trial be? At this point he’d consider many of them to be traitors, and they would figure it’s best to keep away from him if they want to save their own skin.
3. How would his testimony affect those of the other defendants? He could potentially deny that the other defendants were just following orders and instead confirm their active role in crimes against humanity.
