Description
Fritz Ter Meer (right), defendant of the I.G.Farben trial at Nurnberg, chats with his counsel during a court intermission. Ter Meer was chief of the technical committee which planned and directed Farben's production, and was in charge of rubber, poison gas, chemicals, and metals production. The 24 Farben officials on trial are accused of willingly conspiring with the Nazi government in its overt acts of aggression against European countries. The prosecution alleged that Farben supplied research and armaments in return for foreign slave laborers, and factories in the enemy countries which previously they were unable to legally acquire.
