frick the russians. We should have destroyed them when we had the chance.
On the other hand, without the Russians, we likely don't have the space race, which means we likely don't develop computers, satellite communications, or velcro, at least to the extent we know them today.

The Nazis kept enough records to execute half of Germany.

Only a little over 20 actually were put on trial and eventually executed.

There were trials for lesser criminals like prison guards, etc.
I tried finding a number, is hard to do.
Letting a guy who didn't know what he was doing hang the big ones at Nuremberg was a nice touch. I read an account once, once flopped around so long that somebody finally grabbed him and jerked to break his neck. They did them one after the other on 3 scaffolds I think. Some were still flopping when the next one would come in.

I'd explain it, but judging from that response, you won't understand it. WOO PIG, SOOIE!
EDIT: It just occurred to me that you should probably speak to the Alabamians I was talking about in the cousins post. you'd probably have a lot in common.

It’s over 200 when you consider all the trials held after the war . Plus who knows how many the soviets excuted without a trial . While I don’t disagree with the trials we convicted a lot of people who were following orders . I have wondered if I was ordered to do this would I have the balls to stand up and say this is wrong when that most likely would end up with me being hung or out in the camps myself ?

I know they had a Doctors Trial at one point. If I remember correctly it was conducted by the US.

If only that little corporal had been killed during WW 1. Really if WW 1 had been avoided the world really be a quiet a different place today. "If" is the largest word in the English language.

They did , had several different trials for crimes mainly in areas where the crimes where committed . Nuremberg is they one you hear about because the big boys were there . Google WW2 trials and it’s a rabbit hole you can spend a lot of time reading about .

You may be on to something here ! Few people know/realize the real bottom line reason for WW2 was the end of WW1 and the Versailles treaty ! Gut a proud nation like Germany and the outcome is/was fairly predictable !

You're dead either way. Basically for being a German put in a bad situation.

I think most people realize that . What’s really interesting is how Britan and France declared war on Germany for invading Poland but looked the other what when the Soviet Union did the same a 2 weeks later

Where did this narrative start?
Speer was so close to Hitler, he was in the bunker during the final days. You don't remain in that inner circle without having blood on your hands.

They were kangaroo courts. But winners write history books

You have to remember...the pointy heads OUTLAWED WAR after WWI (Kellogg-Briand Pact). Because if you make something illegal, it won't happen.
Whenever governments try to legislate against human nature, it always turns out fabulous.

He 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.

Speer was more than smart enough to convincingly lie on the stand.
It came out in the 80’s that he was eyeballs deep in all of it. Allocated materials to the construction of Auschwitz. He knew.
