01:37:18,922 --> 01:37:20,507
Correct.

Were you a good lawyer

Please, Counsellor...

01:37:29,766 --> 01:37:32,811

Doctor Eduard Dreher.

Professor Mattinger,

1168
01:38:13,268 --> 01:38:15,353
the complaint against
Jean-Baptiste Meyer

1169
01:38:15,437 --> 01:38:16,396
was not suspended...

1170
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:18,815
...because the execution
of the hostages was legal,

1171
01:38:18,898 --> 01:38:20,567
isn't that right?

1172
01:38:21,735 --> 01:38:25,572
The state prosecutor did not
make a judgment on that.

1173
01:38:25,655 --> 01:38:27,073
Exactly.

1174
01:38:27,365 --> 01:38:29,784
Because there was
a different reason.

1175
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:33,955
Fabrizio Collini waited
until his mother died...

1176
01:38:34,039 --> 01:38:35,999
Then, together with
his sister Antonella,

1177
01:38:36,082 --> 01:38:38,501
he filed a complaint against
Jean-Baptiste Meyer

1178
01:38:38,585 --> 01:38:41,087
in early 1969.

1179
01:38:41,338 --> 01:38:44,257
The two did everything
that the rule of law

1180
01:38:44,341 --> 01:38:47,510
expected of them
and then got this answer:

1181
01:38:48,386 --> 01:38:51,264
"The matter will not be
investigated."

1182
01:38:53,141 --> 01:38:56,394
And this was due to a law
that came into force

1183
01:38:56,478 --> 01:38:59,189
at the end of 1968.

1184
01:38:59,272 --> 01:39:01,232
Almost 25 years after
the massacre

1185
01:39:01,316 --> 01:39:03,234
but just 4 months
before the siblings

1186
01:39:03,318 --> 01:39:05,570
filed charges against Meyer.

1187
01:39:09,366 --> 01:39:14,496
"Introductory Law to the Law
on Administrative Offenses."

1188
01:39:14,579 --> 01:39:16,456
Quite a mouthful, isn't it?

1189
01:39:16,539 --> 01:39:19,125
So your first serious
question

1190
01:39:19,209 --> 01:39:21,419
is about how easily the name
of an obscure law

1191
01:39:21,503 --> 01:39:22,587
trips off the tongue?

1193
01:39:26,633 --> 01:39:29,928
Doctor Eduard Dreher
was the author of the law.

1194

During the Nazi regime he was
the Senior Public Prosecutor

1195
01:39:33,348 --> 01:39:35,225
at the special court
in Innsbruck.

1196
01:39:35,308 --> 01:39:37,227
He argued for
the death penalty

1197
01:39:37,310 --> 01:39:40,146
if someone, for example,
stole food.

1198
01:39:40,230 --> 01:39:41,356
Right?

1199
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:43,942
He was quite drastic,
yes.

1200
01:39:45,777 --> 01:39:47,696
In 1951,
Dreher was appointed

1201
01:39:47,779 --> 01:39:49,864
to the Federal Ministry
of Justice?

1202
01:39:49,948 --> 01:39:52,575
And another question,
yes!

1203
01:39:52,992 --> 01:39:55,078
The same Dr. Eduard Dreher
became head

1204
01:39:55,161 --> 01:39:57,580
of the criminal justice
department here?

1205

to suggest...

1206
01:40:01,584 --> 01:40:05,505
...he wasn't the only Nazi who
made a career under Adenauer.

1207

When Collini's claim
was rejected in 1969

1208
01:40:09,092 --> 01:40:10,719
the legal basis for
that decision was what,

1209
01:40:10,802 --> 01:40:13,430
five lines from that law?

1210
01:40:16,433 --> 01:40:19,769
Would you mind telling us
what exactly it means?

1211
01:40:20,020 --> 01:40:22,022
In simple words?

1212
01:40:24,524 --> 01:40:26,151
To put it very simply,

1213
01:40:26,234 --> 01:40:30,905
it meant that the crime
of accessory to murder...

1214
01:40:30,989 --> 01:40:32,615
...in certain cases,
was to be punished

1215
01:40:32,699 --> 01:40:34,325
as manslaughter,
not murder.

1216
01:40:34,409 --> 01:40:36,119
Which meant?

1217
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:39,247
That in certain cases,
accessory to murder

1218
01:40:39,330 --> 01:40:41,708
was to be punished
as manslaughter, not murder.

1219
01:40:41,791 --> 01:40:44,252
What did this mean
in practice?

1220
01:40:44,336 --> 01:40:47,213
I told you!
Twice!

1221
01:40:47,505 --> 01:40:50,633
I want everyone in the room
to understand it.

1222
01:40:54,846 --> 01:40:57,223
It meant that such crimes
committed during the war

1223
01:40:57,307 --> 01:40:59,392
would fall under the statute
of limitations

1224
01:40:59,476 --> 01:41:02,062
and the perpetrators could
no longer be prosecuted.

1225
01:41:02,145 --> 01:41:03,438
Because the statute
of limitations

1226
01:41:03,521 --> 01:41:05,523
for manslaughter
is 20 years.

1227
01:41:05,607 --> 01:41:06,941
In contrast to murder.

[audience murmuring]

1229
01:41:12,113 --> 01:41:15,033
It meant that an officer
like Hans Meyer

1230
01:41:15,116 --> 01:41:19,871
who indiscriminately
executed civilians

1231
01:41:19,954 --> 01:41:22,165
his crime was classified
as manslaughter.

1232
01:41:22,248 --> 01:41:24,376
And he would get
away with it

1233
01:41:24,459 --> 01:41:25,877
because the statute of
limitations for manslaughter

1234
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:27,545
had already passed.

1235
01:41:27,796 --> 01:41:30,674
How many got away
because of this law?

1236
01:41:31,174 --> 01:41:33,927

who sat behind the desks?

1237
01:41:34,010 --> 01:41:35,679
And ordered the extermination

1238

of almost all the Jews
in Europe?

They had nothing to worry
about anymore, right?

1240
