Detailed Solution

The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg prosecuted Nazi war criminals.
After surrendering to the Allies in 1945, the rulers of Germany were crippled by fear. Many, including Hitler and his propaganda minister Goebbels, committed suicide. Once the Second World War ended, an International Military Tribunal was set up at Nuremberg to prosecute Nazi war criminals. The criminals were accused of war crimes against peace and Crimes Against Humanity. Germany’s Crimes Against Humanity attracted attention and condemnation from audiences worldwide. Their criminal acts included a genocidal war that killed millions of innocent European civilians. Nazis specifically targeted Jews, Polish civilians, Gypsies, and mentally and physically challenged Germans. They were gassed to death in concentration centres such as Auschwitz. The International Military Tribunal of Nuremberg sentenced only eleven prominent Nazis to death, and many were sentenced to life imprisonment. Retribution came, but the punishment for Nazis fell short of the extent and brutality of their crimes.
