Definizione

On December 20, 1945, four weeks after the opening of the trial of the major war criminals by the International Military Tribunal (IMT) in Nuremberg, the Allied Control Council promulgated Law Number 10, which empowered the commanding officers of the four zones of occupation to conduct criminal trials on charges of crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and membership in an organization aiming at such crimes. Pursuant to Law Number 10, the Office of the United States Government for Germany (OMGUS) established six military tribunals composed of civilian judges recruited, for the most part, from among state supreme court judges in the United States. In 1,200 sessions of twelve trials held at Nuremberg between December 1946 and April 1949, U.S. officials tried 185 individuals in various positions of leadership in Reich ministries, the German army, industry, the German legal and medical establishment, and the SS. The trials were: The Medical Case (The US vs. Karl Brandt, et al), the Milch Case (The US vs. Erhard Milch), the Justice Case (The US vs. Josef Altstoetter, et al), the Pohl Case (The US vs. Oswald Pohl, et al), the Flick Case (The US vs. Friedrich Flick, et al), the Farben Case (The US vs. Carl Krauch, et al), the Hostage Case (The US vs. Wilhelm List, et al), the RuSHA Case (The US vs. Ulrich Greifelt, et al), the Einsatzgruppen Case (The US vs. Otto Ohlendorf, et al), the Krupp Case (the US vs. Alfried Krupp, et al), the Ministries Case (The US vs. Ernst von Weizsaecker, et al), and the High Command Case (The US vs. Wilhelm von Leeb, et al). Used when interviewee did not indicate the specific U.S. Military Tribunal. (en-US)
