Features: In the history of humanity, themost despicable aggressors have tried every means to exonerate themselves of blame. The trial was so difficult; their excuses were so pathetic. The net is wide, and the killers finally walked to the gallows! On August 8, 1945, an unprecedented trial was held in Nuremberg, Germany. It was a trial of 24 criminals led by the second-in-command of the Nazis, Hermann G?ring. The defendants had 22 German lawyers defending them, submitting 300,000 pieces of evidence. They hoped to portray the Nazi state as a dictatorship solely responsible for all its actions under Hitler. However, in the face of living facts, the war criminals could not escape charges of violating peace, committing war crimes, and violating human rights.
