Three weeks later Hitler gave orders to camouflage prepar-1 ations for (he attack as an inva- 1 sion of Britain and two months later Germany had full plans for dividing Russia Imo nine separate states By .May I, 1941. said Shawcross, the German time table had been fixed, calling for the attack June 22 and a schedule of operations j set up which Indicated the German high command expected to i conquer Russia in four weeks. While paying lip service to peace, he said, the Nazis violated treaty after treaty with blackmail and bullying, deceit and mockery of all their sworn obligations. The Kellogg Briand pact outlawed war. "There Is no definition of aggiession general or particular which does not i TFresTWly ami in every material detail the premeditated onslaught by Germany upon the territorial integrity and political independence of so many states," Sir Hartley said. "It is a salutory legal rule that persons who in violation of law piunge their own and other countries into aggressive war do so with a halter around their necks." Sir Hartley charged that the Invasion of Poland was a breach of The Hague convention, the treaty of Versailles and a 10-year nonaggression pact Germany signed with Poland in January, 1934. Sir Hartley, chief British prosecutor, sought to destroy defense claims that the defendants were innocent because no international law forbidding the Nazi deeds existed at the time they were done. He based his case primarily on the Kellogg-Briand treaty of which Germany was a signatory at the time war began. "By the time the national socialist stgte had embarked upon preparation of war of aggression against the civilized world, and by the time It had accomplished that design, aggressive war . . . had liecome Illegal bayond all uncertainty and doubt," he said. Sir Hartley, attorney general In the Attlee cabinet, spoke Ip measured. emphatic tones that riadc the attentive defendants wince when he called them “wretched men.**
