had about as much blood on his hands as Werner von Braun, who like Speer used slave labor to build pet projects of his. Unlike Speer, however, von Braun had talents we needed and therefore was spared Spandau Prison.
It’s really sad how much you think you know as compared to what you really know.

I have a great uncle who was the court stenographer for the Nuremberg trials. They named a library after him in New York . I’m really kind of important.

Speer was in charge of the German economy during the last two years of the war.

He was taken prisoner and killed, the guy locked up and at Nuremberg was a double. Any honest research will tell you that.

So you think it right for a man to receive life in prison simply because he was once high up in the Nazi food chain? He spent most of the war in a POW camp.
H was the #2 man in the SS. Hess signed the Nuremberg laws for Hitler. Nearly everything that was done to the Jews from 1933 to 1941 was done directly at his order. You really need to check yourself.

7 million dead Jewish people say whhhaaatt?
But you are correct, but at the same time a lot who deserved to die escaped Justine

If the Nazis didn't want to be drug through the streets they should have won or sued for peace early when they stalled out on offense.

Seriously, frick this Nazi bullshite. When did this ideology start making a comeback?
Rudolf Hess was a true believer who deserved to be shot in the head behind a dumpster. Instead he got a trial according to international law. Much better than he deserved.

I find the OP ridiculous. HOWEVER if you want the root cause of WWII in a msg board length, the original quote above is right on. Hitler had the effing train car where the Treaty of Versailles was signed brought out to humiliate the French 20 years later. He then made sure it was destroyed. There were veterans riots all over the world that wre only worsened by the depression. The NAZIs took advantage of this and began a movement that caught the eye of a young WWI veteran named Hitler. A rebellion led to prison where he wrote a book to draw people to his cause and ultimately a weak government board to the pressure and released him.
And the OP is so ridiculous that I didn't bother reading the middle 3 pages of responses so this may be restating something. Just because he left Germany early in the war doesn't mean that he should have gotten a pass. The NAZIs did most of their planning and bad deeds before they stepped foot in Poland. ... Everyone from leadership to the servers who were there during passage of Final Solution didn't even deserve a trial. They sould have been put to work burying their victims and then dug a hole for themselves.

And the man who actually wrote the Nuremberg Laws, who advocated for the forced sterilization of Jews, and who participated in the Wannsee Conference (the meeting which approved the Final Solution and therefore the Holocaust) got away virtually Scot-free. He wasn't even a defendant at the Nuremberg Trials and was merely sentenced to time served.

frick the russians. We should have destroyed them when we had the chance.
While I understand the sentiment, we never had a chance. The war machine that Hitler aroused in the USSR was far greater than that of our own; it's only selective US history that will tell you otherwise. There was many, many reasons they were referred to as "The Soviet Steamroller."
We didn't have the manpower, first and foremost. The Nazis took out tens of millions of Russians and never touched Moscow, and that was well before Russia actually threw everything they had into war. After that the Russian armed forces swelled in size to something close to 10 million - AFTER they had lost all those men to the Nazis. They also had what amounted to an entire second army/air force chilling (pun intended) over in Siberia.
The other thing that went against us - communism. USSR could put 100% of their labor force into the war machine. They were cranking out tanks and planes faster than the US and Britain combined, training pilots at 3x the rate, and there's not even a figure for ground troops.
Attacking Russia would've been the worst mistake America had ever made and would've changed the history of the entire world dramatically.
If America was the "sleeping giant" awoken by Pearl Harbor, the USSR was on a godly level; at least when it came to World War II.

You might want to read a book. The worst atrocities committed by the Nazis were done after the start of World War II and not before.

There were Germans on trial at Nuremberg in matters totally unrelated to the Holocaust. Germans such as Admiral Karl Donitz did not deserve the punishments they received considering their actions were in line with World War II strategic thinking when it came to the prosecution of the war.

Wrong.
He deserved his ten years. For his unrelenting devotion to Hitler even after his death.
