Scarce ink signatures of seven defendants of the Nuremberg trials, penned on two beige 2.75 x 3.75 notebook pages; the first is signed by Alfred Jodl, Alfred Rosenberg, and Albert Speer; and the second is signed on the front by Karl Dönitz, and on the reverse by Julius Streicher, Hjalmar Schacht, and Erich Raeder. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a period International News photo of the various Nazi defendants in their prisoners box during the verdict hearing on September 30, 1946.
The signatures were collected by Burton E. Carlow (ASN 11138393), a U.S. Army serviceman assigned to the 6850th Internal Security Detachment (ISD) of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. Included are a series of original documents that place Carlow in Nuremberg from at least January through May 1946, during the active trial period, and consistently identify his role within the IMT security structure. These include multiple off-duty and special authorization passes, a dated Army Exchange ration card (April 6, 1946), and official credentials linking him to IMT headquarters operations.
Notably, Carlow held passes authorizing entry to both the Palace of Justice (site of the courtroom proceedings) and the IMT prison under the command of Colonel Burton C. Andrus, where the defendants were housed. Additional documentation shows he was entrusted with transport and special service duties, including after-curfew authorization, indicating active operational responsibilities beyond routine guard work.
The International Military Tribunal, more famously known as the Nuremberg trials, were international criminal trials held by France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States against 24 of the most important political and military leaders of Nazi Germany between November 20, 1945, and October 1, 1946. The trial resulted in 19 convictions: 12 defendants were sentenced to death, three to life imprisonment, four to prison terms of 10 to 20 years, and three were acquitted. Ten were executed by hanging on October 16, 1946; Hermann Göring died by suicide the night before his scheduled execution, and Martin Bormann was sentenced to death in absentia.
