And then there were others such as Admiral Karl Donitz of the Kriegsmarine. He carried out the practice of unrestricted submarine warfare against the British merchant fleet and got 10 years in prison for it. This despite the fact that we did the EXACT SAME THING against the Japanese in the Pacific. The defense team actually called Admiral Chester Nimitz as a witness for Donitz. They sentenced him to prison anyway.

I actually wrote a paper on this point of view in college. Really a fascinating process that Donitz went through. While he did get sentenced to 10 years for something that we did as well, Nimitz actually saved him from the gallows with his testimony. 10 years from the Nuremberg Trials is a light sentence in comparison to others who had less of an effect on the war.
