Das Dritte Reich vor Gericht

When at the end of the Second World War the Allies recognized the full dimension of the crimes of the Third Reich, it was clear that they would not be content with a simple surrender. Those responsible should not escape unscathed. The result of these considerations was the International Military Tribunal, whose negotiations have gone down in history as the Nuremberg Trials after the venue. When the Allies ended Adolf Hitler's reign of terror and recognized the extent of the crimes, the surviving criminals were held accountable. In the "Nuremberg Trials", one of the most extensive trials in the history of war, the accomplices were convicted of their actions by the International Military Tribunal.
