The Nuernberg Special Court, under the leadership of the defendants Rothaug and Oeschey, used this fiendish practice in the case of Jan Lopata, a Polish youth brought during the war to work on a German farm.

Lopata, Jan, born on 24 June 1916 in Kajscowka, single, Polish agricultural worker, last place of residence Bodenhof, in arrest pending trial for this case is, by application of articles II, III, and XIV of the decree concerning Poles and Jews, sentenced to death for a crime under section 4 of the decree against public enemies in connection with assault, and will have to bear the costs.

KOESSL (counsel for defendant Rothaug): The Lopata case was first tried by another court and not by the Special Court in Nuernberg.[536] Please tell us what was the first court that tried his case and whether that court was a Special Court.

Now, I am asking if Lopata had been a racial German, all other facts being the same as they were in the Lopata case, is it your judgment that the nullity plea would have been invoked and that the Reich Supreme Court would have ordered the case sent back to you for another trial? I should like your opinion on that.

President, this question is very interesting, but I cannot even imagine that possibility even theoretically, because the very elements which are of the greatest importance could not be the same in the case of a German.” Lopata was sentenced to death and subsequently executed.
