| Summary: | Valerie Hébert's Hitler's Generals on Trial examines the High Command case, one of the important trials that carried on the work of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in bringing to justice those who had committed war crimes or crimes against humanity during the Second World War. She argues convincingly that the High Command case played a unique, if ultimately disappointing, role in the efforts of the Western Allies—especially the United States—to use war crimes proceedings for didactic purposes. Because the defendants were high officials of the Wehrmacht, the case had unique potential to teach Germans the truth about the criminality of the National Socialist regime. |
