| Summary |
"Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal" is a historical account published in the late 1940s. The volume presents the official proceedings of the Nuremberg Trials, where key leaders of Nazi Germany were prosecuted for war crimes after World War II. The book aims to document the testimonies, evidence, and verdicts against the defendants, which included high-ranking military officials and political leaders involved in orchestrating the atrocities of the war. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the meticulous and formal proceedings of the trial that took place between November 1945 and October 1946. The opening section details the initial gathering of the Tribunal, including absences of certain defendants, and the questioning of Admiral Erich Raeder concerning various military documents and alleged violations of treaties. The exchanges highlight Raeder’s justifications regarding ammunition stocks and military preparations, setting a tone of legal examination that permeates the testimonies throughout the trials. The book's beginning establishes a framework for understanding the complexities of the defense strategies employed by the accused and the nature of their guilt amid the undeniable evidence of the Holocaust and aggressive warfare.
