Schacht played no major part in the Nazi regime afterwards and in fact after the July 20th 1944 plot he was arrested, ended up in a concentration camp himself and was finally rescued by the German army in Northern Italy, (Tyrol) at war's end along with other high profile individuals from across Europe, (Allied and Axis).

I'd argue the co-opting of (some of the elements of) the Wehrmacht with the Nazis and most notably Keitel's ignoring of the Geneva Conventions with respect to the Eastern Front had already tainted whatever 'respectability' the centuries-old traditions of Prussia may have had prior to the advent of the Third Reich (at least, as regards the allies anyway) this is, after all, the official reason the Allied Control Council gave for finally de jure abolishing Prussia in 1947. Yes, I know the old Prussian tradition of militarism and Nazism were *not* the same, and that the Wehrmacht had a sizeable percentage of its personnel who were anti-nazi and even resisted Hitler (as the July 20 assassination attempt of Hitler and the efforts of Admiral Canaris can only attest), but those that represented the 'old' Prussian values and traditions, not only the sycophants like Keitel, but many of the 'old guard', people like Mackensen and Hindenburg, gave the death knell for that the moment they (figuratively) got into bed with Hitler and the Nazis.

Fun fact: THe US soldier that commited the bisscari massacre where 80+ italian POWs were slaughtered in cold blood....pleaded in his defense "I was just following order" as well.

First of all, I love Ironsides casting here. Secondly, some added historical context: contrary to a popular myth, the wermach was guilty of its own war crimes separate from the SS. The. SS was certainly worse, but the wermach committed its own share of atrocities (massacres, mass executions, collective punishment, murder of POWs). Interesting history involving Albert Speer: after serving his sentence (which some believe was less than it should have been due to him being a more intelligent and eloquent speaker than his fellow defendants, though to be fair he was also one of the few high profile Nazis that seemed to express remorse), he ended up developing an unlikely friendship with Simon Wiesenthal (holocaust survivor turned Nazi hunter) with whom he actually co-wrote a book. It is debated by some whether his remorse and friendship with Wiesenthal were genuine or a way to simply get off the hook for some of the responsibility (he was close to Hitler at one point and played a major role in running the logistics of Nazi Germany)

I think that it is fair to wonder if his remorse was sincere. However, keep in mind that sincerity is not impossible for a no-god person. My example: is Oskar Schindler. Heer Schindler was without a doubt a profiteer... a connected scoundrel, to say the least at the beginning of the Shoa ( I refrain from saying war because as an American, I know that things got bad in Europe before we got involved) to say the least. And ironically, this enabled him to have the platform he did to do, what many consider to be the right thing from a moral perspective. Though it was a very poor business choice. Also ironically, had he been what many would consider a good man from the start, he would not be able to obtain the position that he did, which enabled him to do the things that git him remembered as "righteous among nations" by Jews and be buried in Isreal. Here's some trivia: Otto Skorzenny trained the men who founded the IDF.

Speer was an unrepentant Nazi until he died. He just kept quiet about it, while living off the proceeds of artwork stolen from dead Jews. Speer was directly responsible for the deportation and eventual death of tens of thousands of Berlin Jews, whose houses stood in the way of Hitler's architectural plans for the " new Berlin ". He was smart enough to never sign any of the orders himself, and so there was no real proof. He was the only one at Nurmeburg to denounce Hitler and the crimes of the Nazis and so was spared the rope.But he did deserve to be hanged....ps..it's spelled Wehrmacht.

It was a bit of liberty for the sake of drama, but they were stripped of all their medals and insignia. The military men continued to wear their uniforms, but with everything removed.

There’s an extra level of satisfaction brought by Michael Ironside’s badassery.

“This is for all you new people, every body fights, nobody quits!”

Colonel Andrus, the chief warden at Nürnberg, had been told that he had only one real task- “To keep Hermann Göring alive so that he can face justice.” But Göring had no intention of being killed on a gallows, so he committed suicide. As I understand it, Eisenhower was furious and never forgave Andrus, who suffered from nightmares for the rest of his life that Göring had escaped.

The three acquitted were by war's end small fry and afterthoughts: Hans Fritzsche: Worked for Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry and was one of the individuals who surrendered Berlin or took the surrender declaration to the surrounding Soviet armies on May 2nd 1945. Literally, nobody at Nuremberg Allied or Defendants could understand why Fritzsche was in the dock (or to an extend even heard of him before) next to the likes of Goering or Von Ribbentrop etc. unless he was a stand in for the dead Joseph Goebbels. Hjalmar Schacht: Beginning of the Nazi regime, Schacht was head of the Reichbank and organised Germany's finances to finance the economic recovery of 1930s, but resigned in 1937 after falling out with Hitler over economic policies. He played no major part in the regime afterwards and was actual arrested after the 20th July 1944 plot, end up in a concentration camp and was rescued by the German army at war's end in Northern Italy, (Tyrol) along with other high profile individuals, (Allied or Axis) from across Europe. Franz Von Papen: Helped Hitler's raise to power in 1933 as Vice-Chancellor, but was luck not to be executed during the Night of the Long Knifes in June 1934. Afterwards, he was forced to resign and was sent to first Austria and then Turkey as German ambassador until near war's end, but returned to Germany and retired, then captured by the advancing Western Allies. These three men would have been to an effect placing Micky Mouse, Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny on trial for war crimes committed in a cartoon.

And also this SS Sturmbannführer whose research and design of rockets as weapons delivery platforms got him a job at NASA, where he became head of the Moonlanding Program. Though his V-2 missiles killed thousands, his rocket factories killed many more people who were worked to death as slave workers. Wernher von Braun, got out via Operation Paperclip. And the least well known of unpunished Nazi warcriminals: Gehlen. Got out via Operation Paperclip, was welcomed with open arms by the CIA and the rest is history.
