Deppisch defends Huber
The defense counsel for the accused Huber petitioned that the police commissioner Geib (sic) be allowed to testify to prove that the accused always made every effort to tell the truth.
==========
Cross-examination: Kurt Huber
In addition, Huber says he believed he was doing something good. However, we will not revert to the same mistake that the interim Weimar government made, wherein they deemed traitors to be men of honor and sent them to minimum security fortresses as “conscientious objectors”. The days wherein anyone could run around promoting his own political “beliefs” are past! For us, there is but one standard, and that is the National Socialist. We measure every man thereby!

Deppisch appointed as Huber’s defense counsel
The court then appointed Dr. Deppisch, Attorney-at-Law, as court-appointed defense counsel for the accused Huber.

Justizrat Roder resigns
After the leaflets had been read aloud, Mr. Roder J.R. [Justizrat] resigned from his position as defense counsel for the accused Huber. He said that he had never had knowledge of the contents of the leaflets before that moment, and that he could no longer defend Huber.

Freisler’s opinion on Huber’s censure
According to Fichte and Kant – the great drummers for the concept of duty among professors – such a “professor” is a blot on the face of German scholarship, and that blot rightfully has been purged a few days ago in connection with this trial: He was ignominiously stripped of his high office. … Continue reading
