Robert H. Jackson (1892 - 1954)
Chief United States prosecutor at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg
Stated the in an October 6, 1945 letter to US President Harry S. Truman
"(the Allied Nations) have done or are doing some of the very things we are prosecuting
the Germans for. The French are so violating the Geneva Convention in the treatment of
(the German) prisoners of war that our command is taking back prisoners sent to them.
We are prosecuting plunder and our Allies are practising it. We say aggressive war is a crime and
one of our allies asserts sovereignty over the Baltic States based on no title except conquest."
