Germany started the second world war when it invaded Poland and eventually attacked over a dozen countries throughout the continent. But by 1943, the tide of war had turned: The Soviet Union had pushed back at Moscow, Sint Petersburg, and Stalingrad. While the British had beaten back the German air raids and pushed the Axis powers out of Africa.
So the leaders of the major allied powers came together to discuss the state of the world after the WW2 had ended. Stalin of the Soviet Union, Roosevelt of the USA, and Churchill of the United Kingdom discussed creating the United Nations, the D-Day invasion, and dividing Germany up into 4 occupation zones. Because Germany. Will. be. Divided. But that was not all. Over the course of World War 2, it became apparent to the Allied forces that Germany committed atrocities on a massive scale. The night raids, the forced deportations, the mass genocide. There was only 1 question on everybody’s minds: how do you punish acts so evil?

    The city of Nuremberg (also known as Nurnberg) in the German state of Bavaria was selected as the location for the trials because its Palace of Justice was relatively undamaged by the war and included a large prison area. Additionally, Nuremberg had been the site of annual Nazi propaganda rallies; holding the postwar trials there marked the symbolic end of Hitler’s government, the Third Reich.

    Actually that's the primary reason Nurnberg was chosen, at least according to US accounts like Justice Jackson. The British were eager to make examples of the defeated Nazis, Churchill even posed the idea of rounding them up & summarily shooting them all.

    As a small bit of trivia: They also considered Luxembourg City because it's relatively small and so wouldn't be a statement of power. The Soviets wanted Berlin to be the place where they'd be held. In the end they decided to do the trials in Nuremberg but the official home of the tribunal authorities would be in Berlin.

    Another interesting thing about Karl Dönitz (The Head of the German Navy) is that, his order not to help the survivors of sinking ships was an immediate reacion to something called the "Laconia-incident", where the captain of the German submarine "Laconia" had ordered his men to rescue the survivors and even send messages to British and US-ships about it and the current coordinates of the ship. The US-Navy however completely ignored the rescue and sent bombers to attack the Laconia using said coordinates, as a result the captain of the submarine ordered to abord the mission and stopped the rescue. Due to that reaction of the US, Karl Dönitz gave the order to not rescue survivors onwards.

    @@khadizaahmed8989 the grandfather paradox assumes several things about the nature of the universe that cannot be tested at this time. Specifically, it assumes that we do not exisit as part of a quantum-multiverse, and that causality can flow both ways through a time travel event. If time moving forward is a fundamental principal of the universe, and not just a product of our perspective, then it is possible that causality could only pass one way through a time travel event, breaking the time line any time a traveler went back in time, and effectively making most paradoxes meaningless. In essence, a time traveler would appear at the moment of their arrival, but the nature of that arrival would disconnect them from their previous existence, due to causality traveling in only one direction. This traveler would have effectively destroyed the previous time line, simply by their existence in the new one. Causality then flow from that moment forward, with no concern for where the time traveler came from. On the other hand, if we are part of a quantum-multiverse, then all possible varients would exisit simultaneously. Under that circumstance, the act of time traveling would create a cascade of new universes, were causality could flow backwards into another universe, thereby defanging the paradox. In that circumstance, since every version of the outcome will exisit, each in its own universe, the only choice we have is, which version of ourselves will we attempt to be? Will it be the version that kills baby Hitler? The one which seeks a non-violent alternative? Or the one who does nothing, unwilling to bear the responsibility of changing history?

    The germans killed millions in death camps as if it was a factory business , the gulags , even if they where harsh , didn't kill millions of people , in fact most came out alive

    First: This was about making fun about the fact that the Soviets had their own Death Camps with basicly the same function the Concentration Camps had before they were used for the Holocaust. Second: Yes, most came out alive. Yes, Hitler and his Concentration Camps killed more. However, the gulags still killed millions. Though I do have to admit that during my research for proof, I've stumbled on many different counts of "millions". Yet since they all referre to the death toll as "above a million", it's safe to say that it were at least one million who died. "The total figure for the entire Stalinist period is likely between two million and three million." (www.nybooks.com/articles/2011/03/10/hitler-vs-stalin-who-killed-more/) "Western scholarly estimates of the total number of deaths in the Gulag in the period from 1918 to 1956 ranged from 1.2 to 1.7 million." (www.britannica.com/place/Gulag) "The result of the analysis is a posterior probability distribution; the obtained posterior 95% credible interval of the number of deaths is (9.7 million, 16.7 million)" (www.jstor.org/stable/2986039?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents)(though given that this came out in 1995, I personally hold it as "less credible" than the other sources)

Especially considering the crimes of Stalin and the Soviet Union, and the crimes of non-German nazi proxies in the Baltic, Balkan, and Arab lands that went virtually ignored; not to mention the atrocities committed by imperial Japan and their proxies, the separate Chinese factions committing atrocities against their own people and betraying each other to the Japanese, and many many more crimes that we're ignored at the end of the war; the post-war prosecution was only able to scratch the surface. Still, the Nuremberg trials are very interesting.

    @Lo Fell Dude. While undoubtedly the Italian Communist Party was responsible for rising and organizing many partisan groups, resisting against Fascism was actually the common point between a variety of different political forces (and actually the only thing Italian Communists and Italian Chatolics ever agreed about). The Fascist Party obtained power by maliciously using the loopholes of Italy's democracy, and kept it through violence, segregation and propaganda. There's no doubts that Fascism was a violent dictatorship or that Italian communists participated in the toppling of this violent dictatorship without putting another violent dictatorship in its stead, and gladly accepted Italy becoming a democracy after WWII. Classifying a person or a group as 'good' or 'bad' according to their political label is simplistic, especially when that political label spans several decades and its claimed by tens of different parties and groups with very different end goals in mind. Saying that Italian Communist groups played an important role in liberating their country from oppression, doesn't absolve other Communist groups for the atrocities they committed in the name of their ideology, including later Italian radical communist groups who committed act of terrorism to further their political goals. Viceversa, doing good things in the interest of the common people like establishing a public welfare and retirement system, doesn't absolve Fascism for its crime against humanity during WWII or for later Italian Fascist groups who committed acts of terrorism to further their political goals. We can celebrate good and heroic acts regardless of the political label used by who did them. And killing Fascist leaders was absolutely a good thing to do in Italy in 1945.

By the way, there are far more innocent people in Russia today than in "the bloodiest" years of the Soviet regime). 2. Gulag - it's not a camps but a Glavnoye Upravleniye Lagerey, "chief administration of the camps". The government agency in charge of the Soviet network of forced labor camps. 3. In the Gulag, prisoners were paid wages (above the national average, where 1/5 went as a tax to the state). 4. The most difficult year was 1937, which saw "local excesses" thanks to Yezhov (He was shot by the way. Then Beria rehabilitated all innocents in 1940). 5. In the gulag, people worked as drivers, accountants, doctors, locksmiths, etc. They not only dragged stones and worked in the mines, lol. It was the innocent who were imprisoned in the Nazi camps. Not only criminals, not war criminals, but ordinary people. You shouldn't compare two completely different things if you don't know how it really was.
