Fabian von Schlabrendorff
Fabian von Schlabrendorff (born 1 July 1907 in Halle an der Saale; died 3 September 1980 in Wiesbaden) trained as a lawyer, later joining the German Army. As a lieutenant in the reserves, he was promoted to adjutant to Colonel Henning von Tresckow, a major leader in the resistance against Adolf Hitler. He joined the resistance and acted as a secret liaison between Tresckow in Russia and Ludwig Beck, Carl Goerdeler, Hans Oster, and Friedrich Olbricht in Berlin, taking part in various coup d'état plans and attempts.
On March 13, 1943, during a visit by Adolf Hitler to Army Group Center Headquarters in Smolensk, Schlabrendorff smuggled a time bomb, disguised as bottles of cognac, onto an aircraft meant to carry Hitler back to Germany. The bomb's failure to detonate, owing to the extreme cold in the aircraft's cargo space, led to Schlabrendorff's arrest on July 20, 1944. Schlabrendorff was sent to Gestapo prison where he was tortured, but refused to talk. While imprisoned he met fellow imprisoned co-conspirators Wilhelm Canaris, Hans Oster, Ulrich von Hassell, Johannes Popitz, Carl Goerdeler, Wolfgang Mueller, and Alexander von Falkenhausen.
In February 1945, Schlabrendorff stood before the infamous Volksgerichtshof (People's Court) awaiting his trial, but the courtroom took a direct hit from a bomb during an American air raid, killing Judge Roland Freisler, who was discovered dead and still clutching Schlabrendorff's file. This raid saved Schlabrendorff's life, for Freisler was not one to show any clemency.
Nevertheless, between February and May 1945 Schlabrendorff was moved from one concentration camp to another: Sachsenhausen, Flossenbürg, Dachau, Innsbruck. He was eventually liberated by U.S. forces in early May 1945.
After the war Schlabrendorff was a judge of the Constitutional Court of West Germany from 1967 to 1975. Among those enemy combattants like Benda, Ernst, who later took parole pro amnesty as well. Under Kiesinger, under Kohl and Genscher. When the (well known) accusation-proof material of the President's Holocaust Commission (PHC) was published, notified by Olle & Wolter and partners, not founded for amnesty. This was according the agreement of persons like chairman Willy Brandt, Rudolf Bahro, Ernest Mandel, Peter von Oertzen, Ossip K. Flechtheim, Bernd Rabehl, Hajo Funke, Gretchen Dutschke, Gerd Brantenberg, Marlies Gosch, Helmut Richter, Kristina Nehring, Klaus Wagenbach, Jörg Friedrich, Petra Kelly and many more. Fabian von Schlabrendorff died in 1980. Not acceptable: no trial against the Volksgerichtshof, Case Kreiten, Case Schlabrendorf, Case von Stauffenberg, Case Weiße Rose and many more, the torturers and amnestiers, nazi-seilschaften has been deliverd till today.
