Or as you say, just hide in plain sight. A few were offered sanctuary and/or employment by other Govts. Now that isn't counting the Nazis under the ice of Antarctica or the Moon Base on the Dark Side. Just sayin.
The end of WW2 was a strange time. Allies were snatching up any Germans that would give them the edge in Science, Engineering, or Technology. But they also put Germans on trial if they weren't useful to the Allies.
Depends. Not all germans were nazis. Not all nazis were germans. The people who were really into science and tech was often Not nazis. They were just born Germsn and found work. They developed horrific stuff yes. But so did alot of allies. Does not mean they were bad people.

This is a great documentary! I have saved it to watch over again. Well done. Narration with archived video is excellent. Woven together well. Thank you to all who collaborated to make this.
It is a grave injustice that Soviet Russia did not face any trials themselves. Who attacked Poland from the east? Who attacked Finland? Who annexed the Baltic states, deporting and killing hundreds of thousands?
The victors will always get away with war crimes. That’s just the way it is. If the axis powers had won the war, it would have been the other way around.
The Nuremberg Trials were a crucial step in seeking justice for the atrocities committed by the Nazis, but the sheer scale of their crimes-over 50 million lives lost-means true justice can never be fully achieved. It's a somber reminder of the depths of human cruelty and the importance of remembering and learning from history."
We never learn from history. We repeat it over and over. Look at the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the war in the middle east, the atrocities committed in African counties, and so on and so on.
No . So many came to USA via Operation Paper Clip. They are still here. If all them were punished, the USA and the world would not have the problems we have today.
Actually, if they'd never came here, the Soviets would have beaten us to the moon, and we might be writing this in Russian. They gave us the edge in rocket science and nuclear science, and so much more.
Yes and in the former GDR there were no Nazis, because this country had pure Socialists… Both sides of Germany had benefits not chasing them. Also USA used them for their political aims in cold war
Towards the end of his career, Clement Freud recorded a radio programme where he talked about his life. He talks about working at the Nuremberg trials and how uncomfortable he was in doing so because law was being invented on the fly for which people were then being executed for.
Up to this point, no nation had been accused of crimes against humanity, planning a war of aggression, murder of the disabled, torture, forced deportation or other violations of international law. It was not about victor's justice, it was and still is about punishing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
That's why the US is superior to everyone else. They don't care about pr. They care about results. And the fact that countries like members of NATO, South Korea and Japan etc get to benefit is a nice plus.
No Germans were brought to America that were involved with the concentration camps. The only ones that were brought to America were scientists, and rocket developers, and a few intelligence officers.
The 24 spoken about were all executed expect for Speer and Hess. Nice try beingAnti America cowards and losers like hate this country but won’t leave because you are weak and pathetic .
Yeah I think they did nierenberg a disservice by holding the trial there cuz no one remembers nearby for anything but the trial. They don't remember nearby for anything else not for any of the damages done by the Nazis or anything else. I don't even think most people can tell you where it's at
But you do know that Nuremberg was the city of the NSDAP Reichstag and that the laws against the Jews living in Germany were called the Nuremberg Race Laws? If not, that is the explanation why Nuremberg and no other city came into question.
My Grandfather Was a Wehrmacht Captain..He passed away in 2005..He Was a very Meticulous Person Organized..always Well Dressed..Sharp..He spent Most of His Time on His Desk or Walking His German Shepherd He Told Me That He had absolutely no idea about the concentration Camps..He Thoughts it Was a Prisons..He Fought in North Africa and France..by The end of the War He Was released just after His Trial..and He Worked as a Professor of Physics at The University of Munich for Twenty Years..
58:04 - 1:05:53 As a documentary directed to English speakers, Goering's testimony would be far more interesting if there were English subtitles. The English translations only start almost 8 minutes in. Seems a bit pointless to include this part if we can't understand it. And again, later, with other defendants. There is no point in continuing to watch.
It's too bad the US and Israel are among the very few countries who do not follow the example set in Nuremberg by recognising the ICC, even to this day.
Israel. Now it came out that the German Government knew exactly where he was. The problem was he could tell names of Lesung people working for the German secret service BND.. The Israelis attorney had to follow governmental instructions agreed between Germany and Israel, so that only Eichmann‘s role was subject of the trail….
That’s a good quote but not really relevant in this context. Both sides documented and recorded things extensively. 80 years on many of the classified files have been declassified and historians are able to have a much more accurate view of what happened. Certainly a lot better than the redacted propaganda tainted records available post war.
Am I the only one outraged by the irony of the Soviet Union being part of the prosecution? Even if you ignore charges of crimes against humanity that could legitimately be levied against the Soviets, they were certainly complicit in committing crimes against peace (invading Poland as Hitler's ally at the start of the war, and later Finland). All this could be said without mentioning the genocidal, murderous nature of Stalin and his regime, easily the worst iteration of the USSR. Being one of the victorious allies should not absolve crimes committed by any side.
But.....but.....but they were 'Our' Allies, so by default were Pure and Holy as 'we' are. Okay, so they pulled a few shady deals, but they won the war and defeated Germany single-handedly for us......just ask them. Being the 'winner' absolves one of all crimes since the 'winners' controls the Propaganda/History.
@@cliffa2901 yes but I was simply referring to the context of World War 2. Otherwise you'd have to add atrocities committed under the British and French empires, which continued to happen even after WW2, without any accountability or due trials.
also, many people were tried for things that weren't a crime during the war, were tried for things the allies themselves did or had absolutely ridicilous charges that have never been used ever again. people were tried for "waging aggressive wars, "sabotage of peace etc" if you just take Goerring for example, his so called war crimes as head of the luftwaffe pale in comparison to that of the RAAF and USAAF. Julius streicher who was hanged for basically writing an anti semetic newspaper while never being in a position of power anyway. Imagine being hess, flying to britian with a peace offer and then being found guilty of "sabotage of peace" and the planning of waging aggresive wars. it's quite clear that all they were concerned with was silencing all these top guys.
The amount of holocaust deniers or people trying to downplay it in this comment thread is absolutely terrifying. While there have been many other genocides in history, the holocaust stands out because of the mass governmental organization and industrialized framework that supported it, even when resources would have been better allocated elsewhere. A genocide like this had never happened before and hasn’t happened since. Many innocents die in war, but the Nazi’s were a special kind of evil without comparison.

But not as Horst Wessel. There are several barracks in Germany used by allied forces or German army which got new names. The NS Ordensburg in Sonthofen was renamed Generaloberst Beck after a resistance fighter of July 20th. Barracks that had been named after officers for over 30 years were renamed when their war crimes came to light. Names like Dietl or Kübler are no longer associated with military tradition in the Bundeswehr.

To claim it was a trial is simply inaccurate at best or downright deceptive . At least be honest about it is all I am saying .
This is something i struggled with. So under the assumption that these people are guilty, do they deserve a fair and honest trial? Most would say no, due to the fact that the victims didn't get that, however, if you're someone who upholds the rule of law, you must say they deserve it. The issue is, how could you find people who could offer a fair trial? It's such a polarising thing, you're either sympathetic to the nazis or you're no, you cant find a middle ground, so regardless of how the trial went, who would you appeal to? Which country would have the ability to hear the case and stay impartial? It was a war that every single nation was involved in, in someway or another.. @I_am_Diogenes
@@I_am_Diogenes not to mention the hypocrisy of punishing your enemy for things you yourself have been guilty of or even worse. How laughable is it to put Göring on trial for luftwaffe warcrimes when the RAAF and USAAF did the same thing but 100 times worse. how laughable to make up new laws after the fact and then put people on trial for it, and then there's the ridicilous charges like "sabotage of peace" eventhough germany was the one constantly trying to make peace but was refused or "planning to wage wars of aggression" . such ridicolous charges have never been used since. but people were put to death because of it. Julius streicher who was put to death because of writing an anti semetic newspaper while never having any real authority in the reich at all. imagine being Hess, flying with yet another peace offer and being jailed and found guilty over "sabotage of peace" and "waging wars of aggresion" . all these trials were was an attempt at silencing top officials of the third reich.
I wish everyone in the US could see this and connect it to the goings on today all over the world. The politcions are making this happen again. Same story, different people. Don't support anyone who goes down this path.
More needs to be taught in schools world wide and make the videos and photos in colour to bring the reality that some of these monsters died only in this decade. There is a detachment with black and white film and old time story voice. Children need to be able to relate and see that the reality is not so far back.
Sadly we have people doing the same stuff as the nazis (maybe not at that scale) right now who are free and celebrated. Justice in this world is only served when it suits its own self interests, look at Nam

People like Motzart for example are said to have been mentally unwell. Too bad this phenomenon didn't just stay in the arts department. Could have spared the world a great deal of suffering 😕
Israel Trials: Could The War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud Face The Sentences They Deserve? I hope, but no expectation
Very interesting
That sailing vessel from 4:04ff was the Horst Wessel. It is now a USCGS (US Coast Guard), Eagle, and is still in US service.
But not as Horst Wessel.
There are several barracks in Germany used by allied forces or German army which got new names. The NS Ordensburg in Sonthofen was renamed Generaloberst Beck after a resistance fighter of July 20th. Barracks that had been named after officers for over 30 years were renamed when their war crimes came to light. Names like Dietl or Kübler are no longer associated with military tradition in the Bundeswehr.
I wish there was viable alternative to youtube. It is ridiculous how they make creators blur, blip and block things I have seen on TV since I was a kid.
Oorlog is oorlog hoe kan je spreken over oorlogsmisdadendat bestaat niet
Blurred imagery and very lousy German pronunciation almost sounded machine driven.
Trial ? Odd term for this event .
they literally went to trial.. in a court room for their crimes
@@spiritualkicks6679 No defense allowed , no appeal , no ability to cross examine witnesses or ability to question anything presented ....... BS it was a trial , it was a drumhead plain and simple . To claim it was a trial is simply inaccurate at best or downright deceptive . At least be honest about it is all I am saying .
This is something i struggled with. So under the assumption that these people are guilty, do they deserve a fair and honest trial? Most would say no, due to the fact that the victims didn't get that, however, if you're someone who upholds the rule of law, you must say they deserve it. The issue is, how could you find people who could offer a fair trial? It's such a polarising thing, you're either sympathetic to the nazis or you're no, you cant find a middle ground, so regardless of how the trial went, who would you appeal to? Which country would have the ability to hear the case and stay impartial? It was a war that every single nation was involved in, in someway or another.. @I_am_Diogenes
@@I_am_Diogenes not to mention the hypocrisy of punishing your enemy for things you yourself have been guilty of or even worse. How laughable is it to put Göring on trial for luftwaffe warcrimes when the RAAF and USAAF did the same thing but 100 times worse. how laughable to make up new laws after the fact and then put people on trial for it, and then there's the ridicilous charges like "sabotage of peace" eventhough germany was the one constantly trying to make peace but was refused or "planning to wage wars of aggression" . such ridicolous charges have never been used since. but people were put to death because of it. Julius streicher who was put to death because of writing an anti semetic newspaper while never having any real authority in the reich at all. imagine being Hess, flying with yet another peace offer and being jailed and found guilty over "sabotage of peace" and "waging wars of aggresion" . all these trials were was an attempt at silencing top officials of the third reich.
where are you getting the r sound in Hoss's name?
No.
The victim is now the punisher -Israel
And Bush walks free.
Yeah no point in watching this unless you can understand German as well as english . No voice overs or subtitles stopped watching
The American attorney Robert Jackson was out of his depth with Goring. British Barrister Maxwel Smythe tore Goering to shreds
"Stand up for me as i have stood up for you" AH
Goering's teeth should have been checked so he couldn't drop out like he did.
Himmler did yoga every morning for two hours.
I wish everyone in the US could see this and connect it to the goings on today all over the world. The politcions are making this happen again. Same story, different people. Don't support anyone who goes down this path.
Indeed, we must get rid of Trump.
I hope you will mention the confessions under torture or Nuremberg constitution.

Found the leftist who justifies genocide.
Rudolf Hess didn’t escape in a navy disguise
Most did. Some did not.
definitely not
More needs to be taught in schools world wide and make the videos and photos in colour to bring the reality that some of these monsters died only in this decade. There is a detachment with black and white film and old time story voice. Children need to be able to relate and see that the reality is not so far back.
Why isn't Von Brunn in that court room. Where is the justice for all the people he killed?
Couldn't see it, it was censored
Is a dead sentence, or dead bij suicide, what many did, a pay pack,from all the horror, Never!!!
I don’t know what that means.
Definitely not, plenty became rocket scientists in the US.
Sadly we have people doing the same stuff as the nazis (maybe not at that scale) right now who are free and celebrated. Justice in this world is only served when it suits its own self interests, look at Nam
TL:DW: no
Nooooo!!
Life-long prison sentences with lack of food and water had been more fair. Death is an escape
My first time here I'm about to give my rate when I'm done
No
We only heard one versan ,!!
Somebody asked me the other day why does the US support Israel I've always contributed to the atrocities that happened to them during world war II and why the state of Israel as we know it today was founded
I was shocked when i found out he was elected democratically
79 year ago today!

Lets learn from history, so not to repeat it. We can not let the orange racist near the White House ever again. VOTE.
A.I narration is a plague
Indeed
Drew Graham is the narrator a live human being.
Riddled with inaccuracies.
