Biography
At the conclusion of World War II, trials of the major German war
criminals, at Nuremberg, Germany, commenced November 20, 1945 and ended October
1, 1946. These trials were convened by an International Tribunal of Justices
representing Great Britain, France, Russia and the United States. Much
controversy resulted over the issues of "ex post facto" liabilities and the
responsibilities of subordinates for acts ordered by superiors. Captain
Frederick Felton, an American staff officer for the court, collected documents
delineating the proceedings.
Scope and Content
The Felton Nuremberg Collection contains copies of court transcripts,
November 20, 1945 through August 31, 1946; an index; document books and
individual responsibility reports.
