Alfred Jodl’s Nuremberg Trial Signature – Evidence of Guilt



Date: April 5, 1946

Location: Nuremberg, Germany

Medium: Typed affidavit signed

Collection: Yavneh Klos Collection, Holocaust Archive 

This signed affidavit, penned by Alfred Jodl during his imprisonment at Nuremberg, served to authenticate evidence used against him in the International Military Tribunal. As Chief of the Operations Staff under Hitler, Jodl issued criminal orders and orchestrated ruthless military campaigns across Europe. Acting on behalf of Admiral Karl Dönitz, he also signed Germany’s unconditional surrender in May 1945. Convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity, Jodl was executed in 1946. His signature on this document stands as a chilling testament to the bureaucratic machinery that enabled Nazi genocide.
