Supports. Yad Vashem's biography states that after the war Rademacher was tried in the German state court in Nuremberg-Fürth and convicted, then faced a further trial and conviction after returning to Germany in 1966.[1][2]
Supports. The UK National Archives catalogue record says Rademacher was tried and convicted at Nuremberg-Fürth after the war, and that he returned to Germany in 1966 and faced a further trial.[3]
Supports. Spiegel reports that Rademacher was facing a second trial before the Bamberg Schwurgericht (jury court) in the same matter, after an earlier 1952 Nuremberg conviction.[4]
Supports. The Wikipedia entries (English and German) report the 1952 West German trial and conviction at Nuremberg-Fürth, and the later Bamberg trial, though these are lower-credibility sources.[5][6]
Context. The claim's wording is consistent with the post's passage, which says Rademacher 'was later tried … in the Bundesrepublik'; 'Rockemacher' in the passage is a spelling variant of the same name.
