Nazis on trial | DW Documentary

The Nuremberg trials began 75 years ago, as high-ranking Nazis were held accountable on the basis of international law. A look back by a Holocaust survivor, by the son of Hitler's deputy in occupied Poland and by the daughter of a defense lawyer.
In the final days of World War II, Adolf Hitler and his Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels committed suicide. But Hermann Göring, the Supreme Commander of the Luftwaffe, and other high-ranking Nazis were captured by the Allies and put on trial. The four wartime allied powers - the US, Britain, France and the Soviet Union - had already agreed to do this before hostilities ceased. As the first international tribunal to hold leading representatives of a state personally accountable for crimes under international law, the Nuremberg trials were groundbreaking in legal terms. But they also raised moral issues which rattled many Germans to their core. Niklas Frank had to come to terms with the fact that his father, Hans Frank, was going to be executed. Holocaust survivor Peter Gardosch mainly felt a sense of gratification. Renate Rönn - whose father was assigned to serve as a defense counsel - felt a sense of shame that Germans had committed such crimes, and that it was the Allies who ensured that justice was served, not the Germans themselves. Today, the Nuremberg trials are viewed as a milestone in international law that served as a model for the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Bettina Stehkämper speaks with Niklas Frank, Peter Gardosch and Renate Rönn about the proceedings and how the trials impacted their lives.

I’ve always wondered what the reaction was when Hitler revealed this plan of mass murder??? Like no one thought, “this guy is out of his freaking mind?” How does one joyfully send innocent children to a gas chamber and sleep at night? The pain is so unimaginable because it wasn’t just the murders, it was psychological torture, rape, starvation and experimentation. How were the guards even able to work there? When I saw the liberation video, I was SICK! Like how TF did this happen??? Sadly, we’ve learned nothing though. It seems we are slowly doomed to repeat.

The Nuremburg trials were a way for the Jewish people to document an Inquisition. WW2 was only another variation of the same theme, "follow Jesus or die!" It also cemented the US as a modern empire that was willing to provide Justice through documented understanding as opposed to savage retribution. Germany could have been split back into 4 empires. In terms of East and West Pakistan, they were created out of the ethnic cleansing of Indian Muslims initiated by the British spy Ghandi. How many Indian Muslims have been slaughtered so Hindus can reclaim polytheism?

[@naturalselection71]

@Al Smith Colonisation has good sides and bad sides is an argument made by the colonizers to defend their acts of agression. This argument also shows the colonizers attitude of not listening to the voices and opinions of colonized people. Any act of colonisation is evil and is purely based on ones own Countries interest and needs. I don't care which race or nation does this, colonisation is an act which brings misery to the land which they have colonized. The negative effects of colonisation lasts for decades even after the countries get independence from the colonizers.

most Germans acknowledge the realities of the war and are decent people but there are still many people alive who still adhere to the same mindset of the nazis.....everywhere in the world, many are in prisons, just as many or more running free.

Just a point of fact. The CIA was not founded until 1947. Roseburg died in 1946. Therefore, the lawyer for Roseburg could not been picked up by representatives from the CIA.

[@matthewburns9409]

Nobody can blame the children. Just like you can't blame the Jews for the Nazis. And you can't blame the Nazis on the children of the Nazis. Take the Hitler Youth. This is where things get terribly complicated. These 'children aged somewhere between 7 and 16' in the 1930s were heavily indoctrinated and forced into the hitler youth. You cannot blame them either. It was the system in that case. It's really scary how propaganda can totally shape a person. In many ways Nazi Germany is a clear example of how nurture can be a powerful influence on how we turn out. Nature clearly has a place but nurture is also a big part of our character once we enter adulthood and it STAYS with us for rest of our lives even if we sometimes manage to suppress our childhood influences, it never fully leaves.
