Gustav Krupp I - I I No decision Major industrialist. C.E.O.

von Bohlen of Friedrich Krupp
und Halbach AG 1912–45. Medically
unfit for trial; he had been
partially paralyzed since
1941. Due to an error,
Gustav, instead of his
son Alfried (who ran
Krupp for his father during
most of the war), was
selected for indictment.
[33]
 The prosecutors
attempted to substitute his
son in the indictment, but
the judges rejected this
due to proximity to trial.
However, the charges
against him remained on
record in the event he
should recover (he died in
February 1950).[34] Alfried
was tried in a separate
Nuremberg trial
(the Krupp Trial) for the
use of slave labour,
thereby escaping worse
charges and possible
execution.

Labour Front. Committed
suicide on 25 October
1945, before the trial
began. Indicted but
neither acquitted nor
found guilty as trial did not
