| Summary: | Duration: 00:50:00
Of all the war crimes committed in history, those perpetrated under Hitler's Third Reich were the most devastating, both in terms of cost and of lives lost. These deeds were so terrible that when World War II ended, the victorious Allies had to develop an entirely new body of law--international criminal law--to deal with them. When members of the top Nazi hierarchy were finally brought to justice in the bombed-out city of Nuremberg, the entire world finally was able to see the extent of the Nazi horror. The series of trial programs makes use of historic photographs and archived film in an attempt to enhance the viewing experience. |
