On 31 August 1946, the 260th day of trial, all defendants were allowed to hold a brief conclusion, that had not to be submitted to the court before.
"Mr. President, Members of the Court! Hitler and the collapse of his regime have brought an incredible time of suffering on the German people. The useless continuation of the war and the unnecessary destruction make the reconstruction to be a very hard task. Privation and misery have come over the German people.
It will, after this process, deprise and condemn Hitler as the proven author of its misfortune.
But the world will learn from the Happened not only to hate the dictatorship as form of government but also to fear it.
[...]
What means my own destiny, after all what happened and in regards of such a high purpose? The German people did in earlier centuries contributed much to the development of human culture. It often has brought these contributions in times where it was just as powerless and helpless as it is today. Valuable people don't let themselves being driven to despair. [...]
But a people that believes in its future will not be lost. God saves Germany and the western culture!"
