However, this is something he continuously tried to downplay for the rest of his life. Astonishingly, when his ten-year sentence was passed down, military officials on all sides of the war felt the judges had been unduly harsh. While in prison, it is claimed that more than British and American officers wrote to Donitz to express their support.

He died aged 89 in Hess was Hitler's Deputy Fuhrer before flying to Scotland, without authorisation, in to negotiate a peace deal with the UK. While in the country, the British imprisoned him. He eventually found himself answering to crimes at the International Military Tribunal in November This senior Nazi was convicted of indictments one and two 'participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace' and 'planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace' and handed a life sentence for his part in the war.

Hess, alongside others in the trial who were given prison sentences, was sent to Spandau Prison in Berlin. Eventually, he remained the last and single prisoner at the penitentiary after his Nazi-co-inmates were either released after completing their sentences or on the grounds of poor health. From until his suicide in , the cell prison counted just one inmate — Rudolf Hess. His ongoing incarceration at the facility drew protests, notably from Neo-Nazi organisations and from unlikely characters such as the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington.

All attempts of bringing about a potential release were blocked by the Soviet Union, who sited Hess had never "shown even a shadow of repentance. One of the significant outcomes of the trials was the definition of what constitutes a war crime.

This is described by the Nuremberg Principles. Those principles came about because of the post-war trials. They remain a crucial cornerstone of international law to this day.

Most importantly, the International Military Tribunal allowed for detailed evidence of terrible atrocities and the horrific ideology of the Nazi Party to be heard in public for the first time.

It brought an end to one of history's darkest chapters. It offered victims and survivors an opportunity to look war criminals in the eye and begin the long journey to recovery.

October marks the 75th anniversary of the conclusion of one of the most significant events in legal history. Churchill even advocated for the summary executions of senior Nazis upon capture.

This is all the gen on the Nuremberg Trials. What Were The Nuremberg Trials? In all, defendants were tried, were convicted, and 37 were sentenced to death. Jackson helped lead the Allies—American, British, French, and Soviet governments—to an agreement called the London Charter , setting the procedures for the Nuremberg Trials.

The proceedings would be simultaneously translated into English, French, German, and Russian. The trial would make history being the first of its kind with judges from four countries.

Hitler was the first dictator of Germany but he was not the last. Nuremberg, Germany was chosen as the location of the trials for being a focal point of Nazi propaganda rallies leading up to the war.

The Allies wanted Nuremberg to symbolize the death of Nazi Germany. The court convened in the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg that was previously expanded by German prisoners to fit up to 1, detainees. The jurisdiction of the Tribunal included crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The IMT defined crimes against humanity as "murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation The indictment was read on November 20, with 21 defendants appearing in court.

Between November 20, to October 1, , the Tribunal tried 24 of the most important military and political leaders of the Third Reich and heard evidence against 21 of the defendants. During the trial, the Tribunal—and the world—learned about the the Nazi Party and its "planning, initiating and waging of aggressive war" from the beginning. When will the trial start? I would be satisfied to the the big billionaires, WHO, Davos, Rockefeller, Soros, Goldenberg, Rothschild all arrested, along with our politicians, media, doctors and nurses military, police officers, judges, lawyers,who were compliant with they tyrants.

We need courts that actually has integrity and not bought off. Trial from this magnitude take time. These are lawyers with credentials and experience in this matter. They have already made their statements so it will soon start. Thank you all for fighting for our right in this world!! Concern me also that this may be another smokescreen..

The worst of the worst escaped and spread themselves world wide continuing their evil. Once again we are subjected to their EVIL.. Two other pieces of information that may be of help to you. Fauci predicted something like this was going to happen under the Trump administration. This prediction was made early in Secondly, in their October meeting in , the World Economic forum discussed having a world wide test pandemic using the covid virus.

They claimed that this test was to see how fast the world could respond and administer vaccines to combat the pandemic. These videos can still be found on YouTube. The original video has been modified and no longer discloses their original intentions.

Many of us tried to get the video out there early, and were heavily censored by the tech giants. The beauty of this is it has precedence. It is a lawful excercise. It is wide reaching. It is power to truth. Any updates? This needs to begin already, to many tyrants in control, time for the people to get the power back. I really reall really hope that everyone who is involved comes to justice and that no money from anywhere can stop this.

It happen once and should never happen ever again. I also hope that there becomes a manhunt for offenders to kill the planets humans, cause of some group who thinks that they can decide who lives and who dies comes to past with the trial. The altra rich who has their once a year meeting are included in this yrial for funding and supporting the crimes to humanity. Every single man and woman has a duty to fight tyranny in any way they can, do not consent, do not comply, take off the masks.

When one person has the courage others will follow suit, do not wait to be rescued, start the rescue, you are only up against other human beings, they bleed too.
