| Summary: | Produced from authentic motion picture material by the Documentary Film Unit, Information Services devision, office of Military Government for Germany (U.S.). This engrossing film depicts the Nuremberg trial of Third Reich leaders and recounts the crimes they were accused of. It was one of the first films about the trial, for it was originally made by the US Government in 1946 to be shown to Germans in Germany, and then appeared in this English-language version in 1949 on American television. Film footage and documents reveal the Nazi leaders' grab for power, German military invasions, and the horrors of German crimes against humanity and war crimes. The film makes extensive use of footage from "The Nazi Plan" and "Nazi Concentration Camps", evidentiary films that were presented at the Nuremberg trial. |
