Nuremburg trials
The Nuremburg trials were held to try Nazi criminals for their war crimes. There was a series of 13 trials carried out in Nuremburg, Germany, between 1945 and 1949. The Nazi’s that were tried included high ranking Nazi officers as well as Nazi doctors, industrialist, and lawyers. The chief American prosecutor was Robert H. Jackson, an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Each of the four Allied powers had supplied two judges a main judge and an alternate judge. All four allied Judges would hear each case and then decide the punishment. Some Nazi war criminals escaped their war crimes.
