von Papen Franz (b. 1879-10-29 / d. 1969-05-02)
The central role that Papen played in Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in January 1933 was reflected by Papen's indictment at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. He was, however, acquitted based on the tribunal's determination that his "political immoralities" were not punishable under the "conspiracy to commit crimes against peace" charged in Papen's indictment.
