The Nazi Plan

The film “The Nazi Plan” is shown as evidence at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg

It was compiled for the trial by Budd Schulberg and other US military personnel, under the supervision of Navy Commander James Donovan. The compilers used only German source material, including official newsreels. It was put together for the US Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality and the US Office of the Chief Counsel for War Crimes.
