In 1947, nine months after the conclusion of the Nürnberg Trials, the seven remaining prisoners were moved to Spandau Prison. In 1951, all seven were still serving their sentences at the prison: Karl Doenitz, Walther Funk, Erich Raeder, Rudolf Hess, Albert Speer, Konstantin von Neurath and Baldur von Schirach. A military guard, rotating on a monthly basis, was provided by the four occupying powers, the US, Britain, France and Soviet Union. The military guard was provided by a platoon strength who manned the six watch towers.
