Alfred Rosenberg

Alfred Rosenberg (1893-1946) was a key member of the Nazi Party before and during its reign in Germany. Rosenberg was one the main authors of the Nazi ideology, including its racial "theory", persecution of the Jews, Lebensraum, abrogation of the Treaty of Versailles, and opposition to "degenerate" modern art. He was the leader of the foreign policy office of the NSDAP, 1933-1945, and Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories, 1941-1945. He was found guilty at the Nuremberg trials, and hanged.

Alfred Rosenberg in The Man With the Iron Heart
Alfred Rosenberg was one of nearly two dozen German officials who was captured by the Allies at the end of World War II. The Allies sought to try Rosenberg and the other men for war crimes. These plans were stopped twice by the German Freedom Front, first in November, 1945 when the GFF destroyed the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg and second in 1946, when the GFF destroyed the American residency zone in Frankfurt with a radium bomb.

In 1947, the Soviets decided to try the officials in their zone. The GFF prevented this by crashing a plane into the courthouse, killing all the lawyers and judges, but leaving the accused unharmed.
