The Nazi war criminals were tried at the Nuremberg Trials to hold them accountable for committing atrocities during World War II, to establish legal precedents for prosecuting individuals responsible for war crimes, and to promote justice and reconciliation after the war.

The Nuremberg trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. These trials aimed to bring justice to those responsible for atrocities committed during the war.

The three main types of crimes people were accused of at the Nuremberg trials were crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. These encompassed offenses such as starting wars of aggression, committing atrocities during wartime, and perpetrating acts of genocide or other inhumane acts against civilian populations.

The defendants at the Nuremberg Trials were accused of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against peace. These included atrocities such as genocide, mass murder, torture, and enslavement committed during World War II.

One of the crimes judged at the Nuremberg Trials was crimes against humanity, which included acts such as genocide, extermination, enslavement, and persecution of civilian populations.

The Nuremberg trials were a series of military tribunals held by the Allied forces after World War II to prosecute key Nazi officials and military leaders. The convicted individuals faced various sentences, including death by hanging, imprisonment, and acquitted charges. Twelve of the 24 defendants were sentenced to death, three were acquitted, and the rest received prison sentences.

At the Nuremberg trials, some former Nazis offered different defenses for their actions during the war. Some claimed they were just following orders and thus should not be held personally responsible for their actions. Others argued that they were unaware of the extent of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime. However, these defenses were generally not accepted, and the principle of individual responsibility for war crimes was established.

Just the military personell alone numbered 160,000.
