Start of Nuremberg Trials (20.11.1945)
On November 20, 1945, trials for the prosecution of Nazi war crimes began in Nuremberg before an international military tribunal with proceedings against 24 major war criminals. Twelve defendants were sentenced to death and executed on 1 October 1946, including Ribbentrop and Rosenberg. Hermann Göring eludes the executioner by committing suicide. In the following three years, 12 further trials take place before US military courts, against doctors, lawyers, industrialists, SS- and police leaders.
