- Abstract:
- This section subsumes two documents: "Vorwort" by Peter Vossen; and "Verhandlung vor dem Volksgerichtshof des Grossdeutschen Reiches," the transcripts of the People's Court trials of the men accused of plotting the assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler. "Vorwort" is a ten-page typewritten document and appears to consist either of mimeograph master pages or to be a mimeograph copy on paper too insubstantial to stabilize the ink. Like pages 1-63 of the trial transcripts, the entirety of "Vorwort" is printed on paper that is very thin in ink that is very blue; the latter stains one's fingers at a touch. The text on these pages is smudged and blurry, as if the ink were diffusing across the surface of the paper. The balance of the transcripts (pages 64-197) is a conventional legal-sized carbon copy. All of the pages are typewritten.
