Uncommon card · No. 166409

The subsequent Nuremberg trials (also Nuremberg Military Tribunals; 1946–1949) were twelve trials for war crimes committed by the leaders of Nazi Germany (1933–1945). The Nuremberg Military Tribunals occurred after the Nuremberg trials, held by the International Military Tribunal, which concluded in October 1946. The subsequent Nuremberg trials were held by U.S. civilian courts and dealt with the cases of crimes against humanity committed by the business community of Nazi Germany, specifically the crimes of using slave labor and plundering occupied countries, and the war crime cases of Wehrmacht officers who committed atrocities against Allied prisoners of war, partisans, and guerrillas.
