The Nuremberg Trials

After committing some the most atrocious war crimes in history, the leaders of the Nazi party finally met their judgement at one of the most famous war crime trials in history. The main heads of the party that brainwashed and convinced an entire nation to do their bidding in a war that had some worst atrocities in any war that came before it.

After Berlin toppled in May of 1945, the Soviets arrested the remaining Nazi party leaders. After this occurred the Allies squabbled to find a solution to sentence these crimals to justice in a court that would be fair in the eyes of the public, where they had an oppertunity to prove their innocence. 

The trials were held in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg in Central Germany, where the most important German trials were held. The Soviets, British, Americans, and the French all sent their diplomats to represent their countries at trial. The German opposition had a defense attorney that was seen to be one of the best attorneys in all Germany at the time. During the trials there was a significant amount of evidence and documents that showed that the defendants were guilty. After most of the defendants were found guilty, most were sent away to Soviet prison camps, where most died years later. After all was said and done, the Nuremberg Trials finally granted justice to men and women who suffered at the hands of these men.
