-
Nuremberg Military Tribunals were a series of twelve military tribunals known as Subsequent Nuremberg Proceedings. Twenty-four major political and military leaders of Nazi Germany, indicted for aggressive war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, were brought to trial before the International Military Tribunal. More than 100 additional defendants, representing many sectors of German society, were tried before the United States Nuremberg Military Tribunals. The four major publications linked below contain: the official proceedings of the trial of the major war criminals, documentary evidence and guide materials from that trial, the official condensed record of the subsequent trials, and a final report on all the war crimes trials. These trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany, in the Palace of Justice, Nuremberg, after World War II from 1946 to 1949 following the Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal.
