Summary: | In 1945 the Allies created the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg (IMT) to try the surviving leaders of the Third Reich. Afterwards, it was the United States alone that prosecuted some German industrial leaders, diplomats, SS officers, physicians, and generals in twelve subsequent Nuremberg trials; those continued into 1949. Despite their many shortcomings, these proceedings were not show trials or simple acts of revenge. Based on the rule of law, they set new standards for legal accountability., In The Betrayal: The Nuremberg Trials and German Divergence, Kim Christian Priemel takes a fresh look at the ambitious educational goals of the Nuremberg prosecution. |
