Summary of Case:	"Alfred Josef Ferdinand Jodl was wrongly convicted in 1946 of conspiracy to commit crimes against peace; planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression; war crimes; and crimes against humanity. Jodl was convicted in 1946 and sentenced to death. Jodl was executed on October 16, 1946. On 28 February 1953, the München Hauptspruchkammer (main denazification court) declared Jodl not guilty of the main charges brought against him at Nuremberg. In doing so the court cited the French co-President of the Tribunal, Henri Donnedieu de Vabres, who had in 1949 called the verdict against Jodl a mistake. His property, which had been confiscated in 1946, was returned to his widow Luise."
