Helmuth von Moltke
The second day of the trial in the People’s Court. Helmuth von Moltke stood trial on this day, and according to a letter from Delp to Tattenbach,
“Moltke was also given dreadful abuse because of his association with the Church and the Jesuits. A Moltke next to a Jesuit is a shameful and debased human being….”
Helmut and Freya von Moltke in happier days. Before the trial Freya went to Freisler to ask him personally if her husband could have a chair because of his painful sciatica. Freisler allowed Moltke to testify sitting down.
