The story behind "Assassins of the Turqouise Palace" by Roya Hakakian, which you reviewed in your last post, was the first I read about it. In a way it reminded me of the Munich massacre and the Israeli response to it.Prashant C.

I expect in the end a conviction for perjury would not have had a lot of impact. Hitler had already been convicted and served time for the failed Beer Hall Putsch. If anything that conviction seemed to increase his status.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-52026560181265796762013-09-03T06:02:30.667-06:002013-09-03T06:02:30.667-06:00Bill - What a fascinating post and a really intere...Bill - What a fascinating post and a really interesting look at German jurisprudence! Like you, I don't know much about other countries' legal systems (other than what I've read in crime novels) so it's interesting to me to get a professional perspective. And I agree; it's hard to help speculating what would have happened if Hitler had been convicted of perjury... Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
