Five Brothers and a War

Nürnberg Trials

DR. STEINBAUER: Just why did you want to return to the Netherlands? SEYß-INQUART: First of all, I wanted to take care of my co-workers; in the second place, I always was of the opinion that I should answer for my administration there; and finally, I was of the opinion that since we had been out in front in the hour of triumph we could lay claim to being out in front in the hour of disaster as well. DR. STEINBAUER: Mr. President, I have concluded my examination of the witness.
