The Great Trial: Hitler and Goebbles

In Linnemann's Germany, two men stood together. These men were Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbles. Adolf Hitler was now an old man, thinking on how he was captured by Germans instead of Stalin. Goebbles thought of his wife and children, his wife was killed in the war, his children safely got out (In real life, his wife poisoned the kids and killed them).
The German Government announced that the life sentences for the two would be reviewed and that new trials would begin. The German Government decided this: Like the Nuremburg Trials, a group of foreign judges would be presiding as well.
The trials would be in Linz, Hitler's birthplace. Hitler and Goebbles would be tried together.
Now, which nations would like to try the two greats of Nazi Germany, especially Der Fuhrer?
This is my first story that I thought of doing on NS. Here is a list of roles:
1. Adolf Hitler (Me)
2. Joseph Goebbles (Me)
3. Defence Lawyers (Me)
4. Judges (Open)
5. German Judge (Me) (Head Judge)
6. Heinrich Himmler (Me) (Might Add The SS Man In)
7. Witnesses (Open, I guess)
8. Victims (Open, I guess)
9. Reporters (Open)
These are the roles for the story, I suppose. If any are interested which I'm sure people would, getting a chance to put Hitler through trial, please post here!

Bascially, in my version of Germany, Hitler was captured and given a life sentence, perhaps until now. He is still alive, read my first thread (with Stauffenburg in the title) for more info.

No one is interested with having Hitler and Goebbles on trial?
if you need a neutral judge i could do that.
kirisubo would have been neutral in WW2 and stayed out of the whole thing despite only being 100 miles east of Japan.

You can be a neutral judge if you want, I guess. Also, Hok-Tu is Kurisubo?
yep. i'd can't post with Kirisubo at the moment so i had to dust down my puppet to keep playing.
So far you've got your first judge.
Name : Kaede Uehara
gender : female
age : early 40's
description : small and lightly built with long black hair, dark eyes and olive skin. she takes no messing from anyone.

(On my way out, but a half-interested tag for later, as I'd like to see where this is going, at least. But, eh, when's this set? I mean, isn't Hitler... 117, now?)

Thank you for joining. Ms. Uehara sounds ok for my first judge. Thanks again.

I was thinking on that. I'm fixing things up. I can use assistance, I guess.
I'll take the judge or can i be the prosecution lawyers?
As for witnesses, I'd be tempted to RP a former Wehrmacht / Waffen SS man, almost preferably Fallschirmjager (Which would make the man Luftwaffe, and chances are, a staunch / former Nazi), NCO or Officer, your call. What kind of witnesses would you be needing / wanting?
if you make the date of the trial in the late 1940's that would fit and you could also explain more of your nations backstory while the trial unfolds.
Hitler and Goebels would still be around then as well.

Whichever you want, you can be. There is more than one judge, I guess.

I would like witnesses from the time period. Like, for example, I plan to use as evidence against Goebbles the ''Good Government/Good Propaganda'' Speech. I am going to be Goebbles and Hitler.

Sure, we can do that. The link I posted leads to my first thread, with info on my nation. We can do this trial in the late 40's, if you guys are ok with it.

Heinrich Himmler (Head of the Schutzstaffel) may be in this as well. I am thinking on whether to have him in this. Also, Alfred Rosenburg (the man known for building the racial doctrines, etc of Nazism) may be in it, still thinking.

Eva Braun may also be in this, still thinking. Since Hitler was captured, Eva and Hitler did not kill themselves. Also, I need judges from the Western Powers and from Stalinist Russia. I am the German Judge, the Head Judge.

So if you did this in Late 1940s early 1950s, you would have available to you everyone you would need. I suggested a former German military man or two (Luftwaffe was the most National Socialist of all service branches) or a member of the SS, or Waffen SS, who would have had to have been captured by the Allies as the Soviets most likely would have shot him. It would be possible to have a man who participated in the Einzatsgruppen operations in Eastern Europe or was even a camp guard (Totenkopf) testify.
I may not be able to participate, judging from potential time constraints, but it's an idea, all the same.
Edit: Troops who liberated the camps, say a Canadian, British, American, or Soviet soldier(s) would also make good witnesses in addition to former prisoners at the arbeitslaager / extermination camps.

I can do that, Russkya. It is an ok idea. The trials would take place in Linz, Hitler's birthplace. I would like people like those in your idea to be in the trial. Rosenburg, Himmler and Eva Braun may be in the story somehow. Speer for example would not (He, Goering and others are in Nuremburg's Trials).
I understand if you can not participate but I appreciate your ideas. I have an idea.
I was thinking, does anyone want to be the following?
Truman
Churchill
Atlee
Stalin
These men would not be at the trial really but watching from their respective lands. If no one is interested, I will scrap the idea. Note, the War with Japan is going on somewhat, till August 1945. Also, thank you to ALL who have shown interest!

They would indeed, as would survivors of the Shoah or Holocaust.
I'll take the prosecution

Can I be Field Marshel Erich Von Manstein?

Possibly. I may put Rommel, the Desert Fox in somewhere. Or Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's offical photographer.

OOC: I don't think that I have a lot of spare energy to commit to it, but if you want some extras, maybe minor witnesses or something, my nation is based on the real Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, changing mostly after Tito's death in 1980, its history includes annexation by the Axis, so we should have plenty of people with bad experiences. Maybe at a stretch Yugoslavia could provide a judge, but I'm not sure.

OOC: Would you have judges from different regions? If so, I could represent the Nordic.
