Features: In the history of humanity, themost despicable aggressors have tried every means to absolve themselves of blame. The trial was so difficult; their excuses were so pathetic in the face of justice. The net is wide, and the killers finally faced the hangman! 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 actions by Hitler. However, in the face of living facts, the war criminals could not escape charges of crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
