a. to punish German war crimes
The city of Nuremberg, in Germany, was set for the purpose of judging the top Nazi criminals. It was a series of 13 trials that took place from 1945 to 1946, where the victorious allies sentenced to death 22 German commanders. The process created jurisdictional frameworks and determined the future and pursuit of crimes to humanity. The collaborators of the Nazi regime often argued that "they were following orders". But these arguments turned to be nullified. The Militar Tribune found all of the cases to be guilty. Some of the prosecuted shortly before the executions committed suicide as the case of Rudolf Hess and Goering who after being sentenced ended their lives by taking cyanurate.
