Nuremberg Trials

The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals conducted by the Allied Forces of World War II in the immediate aftermath of the war, which prosecuted several prominent political and military leaders of Nazi-ruled Germany. The most famous was the Trial of the Major War Criminals (October, 1945-October, 1946), carried out by an international tribunal against 24 prominent leaders, although only 22 were actually tried, and not all of those tried were convicted. Several critical leaders, including Josef Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler and Adolf Hitler committed suicide in the closing days of the war.

The 24 indicted and their verdicts are as follows:

Nuremberg Trials in The Man With the Iron Heart
In 1945, nearly nearly two dozen German officials who was captured by the Allies at the end of World War II. The Allies sought to try them for war crimes. These plans were stopped twice by the German Freedom Front, first in November, 1945 when the GFF destroyed the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg and second in 1946, when the GFF destroyed the American residency zone in Frankfurt with a radium bomb.

In 1947, the Soviets decided to try the officials in their zone. The GFF prevented this by crashing a plane into the courthouse, killing all the lawyers and judges, but leaving the accused unharmed.
