Cyanide capsule of Himmler (Picture 1) |
Kimmo Huosionmaa
Today we saw it happen. One man who was in the court about the war crimes drink the poison and became a martyr. His name was Slobodan Praljak. This is the thing, what those people who were responsible for the security of that court, should be prepared. The case is some kind of what happened in the Nurnberg trial. Some of the people who were sentenced to death were got the suicide ampules in the cells and they committed suicide in their cells. Those people were Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler. The last one was not judged in Nurnberg because he killed himself before court same kind of capsule, what Goering used before the execution.
When we are talking about those suicides, then we must concern that the poison was in the hollow tooth, and then those men could avoid the hangman. But there were, of course, the rumors that those men got the "zombie poison" or tetrodotoxin, and some of their friends in the allied lines helped them to escape from the hangman. But there is another theory, about those suicides. This theory was that Himmler and Goering could not stand the raise to the hang rope, and some men wanted to be sure, that Goering and Himmler will ever speak nobody about their secrets. Or did Goering try to get sympathy from the court of Nurnberg by attempting the suicide by weakened poison capsule, but somebody changed the suicide pill.
The same question as in Goering's case will be asked in this Croatian general case will always be asked the question, "did that man know, that he took real poison"? Or did somebody change the capsule? If somebody actually changed those capsules or dose, would that man try to get sympathy from the court? If that is true, would that suicide committed for the reason, for getting sympathy from the court, what convicted that man for 20 years imprisonment. Or why this man was able to take that poison in the courtroom? This is the question what will ask many times after this case.
