Discussion - International Military Tribunal for Germany

Reprisals in the immediate postwar months were commonplace, with surviving Nazis and Nazi colloborators routinely shot in ad hoc formations of the vindictive bereaved. Observing such sporadic retribution throughout Europe, the United States was determined to see justice done through the establishment of due process for the vanquished fascists.

The most memorable and decisive result was the institution of an International Military Tribunal for Germany convened in 1946 in Nuremberg, the medieval city where the Nazis had staged their former rallies. Took leave of the Supreme Court to oversee the formidable task of prosecuting through language barrier 22 leading Nazi officials for conspiracy, wars of aggression, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, with the sentences to be pronounced by an American, British, French, and Soviet judge Success not only required processing an enormous body of German technical data, but also pinpointing when and where the defendants took specific criminal decisions, or were physically present when Hitler himself declared his intentions. With respect to the Holocaust, furthermore, the Nazis in in private characteristically employed euphemistic language to describe their lethal operations, adding to the difficulties of securing convictions. Ultimately, three of the defendants were acquitted, with the majority of the remainder sentenced to death.

Twelve other Nuremberg trials followed, typically focusing on certain sectors such as industrialists, doctors, or lawyers, with the role of the SS-the Nazi political army-central to wrongdoing throughout. At the same time, Gen. MacArthur convened an International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo to try Nipponese offenders for crimes against peace. Together with the Rastatt trial in France and the trial of Marshall Petain, defeated Axis warlords would comprehensively be made subject to the rule of law.
