00:00Freisler's scorn for the defendants was matched only by his devotion to Hitler.
00:05He not only dispensed death sentences liberally, but devised humiliating procedures such as
00:10removing belts and suspenders from the accused so they had to hold up their trousers.
00:16In some cases, defendants were tried in ill-fitting clothing,
00:20making them appear ridiculous as Freisler lectured them.
00:24The judge's thunderous voice boomed across the courtroom,
00:28reaffirming that no dissent would be tolerated in Hitler's Reich.
