In early March 1941,

Bulgaria joined the Axis alliance

and, in April 1941,

participated in the German-led attack on Yugoslavia and Greece.

In return, Bulgaria received most of Thrace from Greece, and Macedonia

as well as parts of eastern Serbia from Yugoslavia.

Though Bulgaria participated in the Balkan Campaign,

it refused to enter the war against the Soviet Union in June 1941

Wernher von Braun        1912-1977

 

German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun,

born in 1912 in Wirsitz, Germany,

took an early interest in rockets and the possibility of space exploration.

As a young man,

he joined the German Rocket Society (Verein fur Raumschiffahrt).

In 1932,

von Braun joined the German army to work on the development of ballistic missiles.

By 1937,

he was the head of the Peenemeunde Rocket Center

and leader of the Nazi rocket program that eventually developed the V-1 “buzz bomb”

and the deadly V-2, the world’s first ballistic missile.

Adolf Eichmann        1906-1962

One of the most pivotal actors

in the deportation of European Jewry during the Holocaust.

[ . . . ]

At war's end,

Eichmann found himself in U.S. custody,

but escaped in 1946.

 

In the end, he succeeded,

with the help of Catholic Church officials,

in fleeing to Argentina.

There he lived under a number of aliases,

most famously Ricardo Klement.

 

In 1960,

agents of the Israeli Security Service (Mossad) abducted Eichmann

and brought him to Israel to stand trial.

The proceedings before a district court in Jerusalem drew international attention,

and historians roundly credit coverage of the trial

(famously in Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem)

with awakening public interest in the Holocaust.

 

On December 15, 1961,

Eichmann was found guilty of crimes against the Jewish people.

He was hanged at midnight between May 31 and June 1, 1962;

Jewish authorities cremated his remains

and scattered his ashes in the sea beyond Israeli boundary waters.

Fritz Sauckel        1894-1946

was Plenipotentiary General for the Deployment of Labor.

Sauckel was responsible for providing forced laborers

to meet Germany's increasing war production needs.

Under his authority,

the Germans deported millions of forced laborers

from the occupied territories to Germany.

He was found guilty

on counts three and four (war crimes and crimes against humanity)

and sentenced to death.

Sauckel was hanged on October 16, 1946.

Alfred Rosenberg        1893-1946

was official chief Nazi philosopher,

head of the Nazi party's foreign affairs department,

and Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories.

Rosenberg established an organization

whose mission was to loot and confiscate cultural treasures

from all over Europe and bring them to Germany.

As Reich Minister for the Occupied East,

he played a role in the annihilation of Soviet Jews

and the deportation of other Soviet civilians for forced labor.

Rosenberg was found guilty on all four counts

(conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity)

and sentenced to death.

He was hanged on October 16, 1946.

Martin Bormann        1900-1945

became the chief of staff for Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy, in 1933.

Virtually unknown to the German public,

Bormann as a close assistant to Hitler

was a powerful force behind the scenes in internal politics.

Following Hess' flight to Great Britain,

Bormann became head of the Party Chancellery (1941)

and, officially in 1943, Secretary to the Fuehrer.

His hand could be seen in an array of domestic policies,

including the murder of the Jews,

the "euthanasia" effort, the plunder of artwork,

and the expansion of forced-labor programs.

He also signed a series of edicts ordering deportations of Jews to the east.

Bormann died in an effort to flee Berlin in the last days of World War II,

but was long thought to be at large.

He was tried in absentia at Nuremberg, where he was sentenced to death.

West German authorities officially declared him dead in 1973

after his remains were discovered and positively identified.

Nazi Germany        Robert Ley        1890-1945

 

In 1933,

after all German trade unions were dissolved,

Robert Ley established the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF; German Labor Front).

As head of the DAF, whose membership totaled 25 million,

Ley was known as the "undisputed dictator of labor" in Germany.

Nevertheless, he was overshadowed on labor issues during the war

by rivals like Albert Speer and Fritz Sauckel, his codefendants in 1945.

Ley was indicted on counts one, three, and four (conspiracy, war crimes, and crimes against humanity).

Obsessed with the idea of becoming a martyr,

Ley committed suicide in his cell at Nuremberg shortly before the trial began.
