Catalogue Note
On 20 November 1945, the ‘Trial of the Major War Criminals’ began in Nuremberg, where 24 of the most important leaders of the Nazi Party were tried before the International Military Tribunal. The judges and prosecutors consisted of the victorious Allied powers of Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the USA. Shown here, are:
