Nuremberg Anniversary




64 years ago today the Nuremberg Trials started. The defendants were accused of the following:
1. Conspiracy against world peace
2. Planning, provocation and execution of a war of aggression
3. Crimes and violations against the law of war
4. Crimes against humanity

Of course, those are not crimes unless you lose.
