Let's have a non-political discussion about the Nuremberg Trials

>Why didn't the Judges come from neutral countries?
>Why was Ernst Kaltenbrunner not allowed to recover from the two British induced brain bleeds he had while in custody, leading to an extremely sloppy defense he put forth. Was it because he was an extremely talented defense lawyer at one point?
>What did Hess do to get life in jail again?

Hess is lucky Hitler didn't win the war, would have been the chopping block for that poor soul

Doenitz should have gotten off entirely. The British were just assmad the u-boats were so effective. He would have been hanged if Nimitz hadn't come in and testified that the US Navy did the literal same exact things in the Pacific.

That's not to say Doenitz was particularly nice person, mind you. He was very much a Hitler fanboy and very loyal to Hitler; there's a reason he became President after Hitler died.

>>What did Hess do to get life in jail again?
Head of State, and helped draft the Nuremberg laws.

Hitler

T. Hinman

A lot of the Wehrmacht's general staff, like Guderian and Manstein should've gotten harsher sentences (not involved in Nuremberg itself, but w/e). Schacht getting off scottfree is also questionable.
If Schacht got off with a slap on the wrist, Schwerin von Krosigk going to prison for ten years seems kind of unreasonable.
Streicher's death sentence was a joke

He got acquitted of the submarine warfare part though, he was found guilty of continuing to enforce the commando order (albeit it was a bit of a beat up because it didn't apply to naval POW's) and for knowingly using slave labor

>NAZIS WON THE WAR THEY CAME TO MERICA, CIA IS NAZI AAAAAAAA

You got a little shit on the corner of your mouth, I can smell it.

Empty insult detected.

Wasn't at least one of the accused responsible for slave labor but got off lightly and were acquitted? Albert Speer if I'm not mistaken.
It was a good point that was brought up.

>why was the second in command of Nazi Germany and who made the laws stripping Jews of their rights and citizenship, punished?

Perhaps grandstanding and shittalking isn't such a good idea when your life is on the line?

If they were vengeance based show trials, why did they end up letting most of the defendants go or gave then relatively short jail terms?

>nuremberg laws were unjustified

hjalmar schacht literally dindu nuffin, he was out of office and power years before germany was in any wars or any war crimes went down

>Stripping veterans of WW1 was justified

Where is the justification for murdering Streicher? He wasn't involved with government in any way.

>they didnt get pensions
>40,000 veterans is the same as 550.000 jews

he was a nazi newspaper editor
yeah, very legit death scentence

>Walks down the street cracking a whip
>Writes children's books about how evil the Jews are
>Shitposts all through his own trial accusing every man and his dog of being kikes
>Before they hang him he screams out "the Bolsheviks will hang YOU"
He was just too ridiculous to live, if he toned it down a bit he'd be fine
It's part of the Nuremburg laws faggot and it's unjustified, maybe clarify your shit first before making blanket statements

Show trials. The Einsatzgruppen were an anti terrorist organization.

what did the poet mean to say?
i'm just saying that preventing marriages between jews and germans and classifying them accordingly is a completley justifiable thing to do, u tankie pleb

>>they didnt get pensions
They didn't, actually. Hard to collect a pension when you're suddenly declared both not a German veteran anymore and then not a German citizen anymore.

yes full jews were stripped of all that, it would be dumb of the nazis to backtrack what they've stated. They wanted jews out and that imcluded veterans

Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia lege

Unlawfull justice, plain revenge

>TH-THEY TURNED TH-THE JEWS INTO SOAP!!
>THEY USED NUCLEAR BOMBS TO KILL THE JEWS!!!

>THEY USED NUCLEAR BOMBS TO KILL THE JEWS!!!
How about some context?

They were lucky to even get a trial instead of being just strung up by men in white hoods like they should've been.

The entire Nuremburg Trials were a plot to get the German high command to listen to Eisenhower's mix tape.

Look at the headphones.

Guderian was a good boi.

no shit senpai.

Nuremberg laws just codified a state of affairs that was already common at the time. It didn't change anyone's lives in any practical way.

He was the author of one of the most obscene and libelous Nazi newspapers ever. He was part of the reason why Nazi antisemitism reached the pitch that it did.

>It didn't change anyone's lives in any practical way.
>stripping half a million people of their citizenship and making them stateless "didn't change their lives"

>killing someone because he insults you

Because for the west at least cooler heads eventually prevailed? I.E various vested interests in western governments wanted to make use of various German personnel for one reason or another. Someone like Guderian or Manstein has his uses, as does obviously someone like Von Braun. Plus, you know, they still gave them defense attorneys as part of the show in question and said attorneys performed better then certain people thought they would most likely.

>killing someone for being completely unapologetic and showing absolutely no remorse

Rosenberg did nothing wrong.

>having to show remorse when you committed no crime
