Courtroom #6: Nuremberg

Courtroom #6 was a rather non-descript courtroom.  But, it was the place of the worlds first war crimes trial.  It has been slightly remodeled from the later 40's.  The Nazi symbols are gone and it looks like it did before the Nazi's took over.




But the placards show where people sat during the trial. Here (upper image) is where the defendants sat.  In the back corner were the translators.  There were 21 defendants over a series of trials lasting 2-3 yrs.   Judges were from the Allied forces.


The judges sat in the front.


The defendants testified to the right in the corner.


The attorney's sat on the right side.

For more on the major defendants, click here.  I was surprised there were a few acquitals and a few people served prison terms and were released.

I'll not post the post mortem images of those who were hanged.   I felt no grief or sorrow for their murderous souls.
