Taking Sides is a 1995 play by
British playwright Ronald Harwood, about the post-war United States
denazification investigation of the German conductor and composer
Wilhelm Furtwängler on charges of having served the
Nazi regime. Harwood drew
inter alia on a detailed diary kept by Furtwängler of his interrogation sessions. Although the investigation that is the focus of the play resulted in formal charges being brought against Furtwängler, he was eventually cleared by the tribunal.
