This was a world court. Showing the world the outcome was paramount . After the war in Europe ended and concentration camps were liberated, Eisenhower ordered all military personnel not needed to tour the nearest camp and when they went home ,tell everyone what they saw . Showing the consequences of what these men did opened a lot of peoples eyes . There had been rumors about the camps but people wouldn't believe it because they thought no human could do those things to another human being. My father was part of the liberating forces at Dachau . He was put in charge of burying the countless bodies . The citizens of Dachau were forced to walk through the camp and see what had happen there. They claimed they didn't know it was going on. These are the same people who either worked at the camp or delivered supplies to the camps but somehow claimed to have not known. My father said you could smell the rot of death five miles before you got to Dachau.

Each execution took several long minutes, still too short and clean. Unfortunately Georing escaped the hangman’s noose, via a cyanid capsule, the procurement of which is still a controversy today.

I think we have learned. We have since tripped up a few times, but WWII’s lessons ring on today. Ironically, it is Russia who seems to have forgotten the true lesson. China as well. The people in these countries suffered more than anyone else, but their horrible governments effectively ensured they were treated as cannon fodder and then trained them not to ask too many questions after the war ended. The parallels between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to modern Russia and the CCP are uncanny, as is the current geopolitical climate uncannily similar to the lead up to WWII. We may be headed towards another one of these, unfortunately. If we survive, at least after that (presumably) there wouldn’t be anymore major dictatorships left over.

The Americans changed the courtroom in the courthouse of Nuremberg for the IMT-trial and the other Military Tribunals of the US-Army against German Nazis. After the end of the trials of the military tribunals in 1949 the German justice administration changed this courtroom into its original version. Until doday the German punishment court of the "Landgericht" and the "Oberlandesgericht" Nürnberg use this old courtroum for their trials. The prison cells of the condemned Nazis are used for the German "Untersuchungshäftlinge. The room of the American gallows for the Nazis in Nuremberg is abandonned and used only for tools of the German court administration. The Westgermans abolished the legal deathpunishment in 1949 in opposite to the USA! The Americans, British and French excecuted criminals, who had been condemned by their tribunals in Germany until 1952.

2003 war in Afghanistan? God it's like you people are allergic to history. The US *led* (not just the US) invasion of Afghanistan occurred in 2001, not 2003, in response to a little event called 9/11, when over 9,000 people were killed or injured by a state sponsored terror attack on US soil. Sure, the resulting war lasted well through 2003 (into the 2020s), but it seems like you believe the war started in 2003, which is wholly incorrect. It was the Iraq war that started in 2003. If you think the 2003 Iraq was was 'bloodthirsty and meaningless butchery', then I feel incredibly sorry for you. Saddam Hussein was a violent dictator directly responsible for the death of at least a million people, possibly more. He was a dictator who had already showed that he was willing to use weapons of mass destruction against civilian populations through his use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war. He was a dictator who, just a decade earlier, invaded and annexed the small neighboring nation of Kuwait, butchering and killing Kuwaiti civilians based on totally unfounded claims of 'slant drilling'. While we didn't 'find' any weapons of mass destruction in 2003, we did find *MASS GRAVES,* some of which contained as many as 60,000 bodies, extensive evidence of ties to al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, evidence of other war crimes, and violations of the United Nations sanctions regime leveled on Iraq between 1990 and 2003.

Well they judged a lot of people, just not in this trial. When Waffen SS divisions were captured by the British and Americans they were all put on small trials if their division had been involved with any war crimes. Many high ranking nazi officials took their own life and many escaped to South America through the Catholic Church. If you judged every killer, millions would be on trial. But instead the rule was for people on trial was that if they were not in a position to deny their orders then they were not guilty, the allies gave an example as hitler ordered Rommel to execute any British tank commanders they capture but Rommel burnt the note and refused the order- therefore if Rommel was still alive he would be trialed not guilty.
