The trial that invented 'crimes against humanity' before we even knew what to call it.
When the Allies realized the full extent of the crimes of the Third Reich at the end of the Second World War, it was clear that they would not be satisfied with a simple capitulation. Those responsible should not get away with it. The result of these deliberations was the International Military Tribunal, whose proceedings have gone down in history as the "Nuremberg Trial" after the venue.
