Summary
The Hostage Case consists of proceedings and supporting documents in English and German, some in German only. The collection is not indexed. The name "Hostage Case" arises from the fact that the greater part of the trial focused on alleged reprisal actions by the defendants of one kind or another. The case has also been called the "Southeast Case" because most of the alleged criminal conduct occurred while the defendants were acting as field commanders or chiefs of staff to field commanders in southeastern Europe. Related to the Hostage Case is the High Command Case.
The defendants were charged with war crimes during the period between Germany's invasion of Poland in Sept. 1939 and Germany's surrender in May 1945. Charges included: murder and reprisal actions against civilian populations in Greece, Yugoslavia, and Albania; destruction of private and public property in Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Albania; illegal orders and denial of rights to prisoners of war; illegal and inhumane treatment of civilian populations, including deportation, slave labor, murder, torture, etc. The original 12 defendants were: Wilhelm List, Maximilian von Weichs (unable to stand trial), Lothar Rendulic, Walter Kuntze, Hermann Foertsch, Franz Böhme (suicide), Helmuth Felmy, Hubert Lanz, Ernst Dehner, Ernst von Leyser, Wilhelm Speidel, and Kurt von Geitner.
