Weren’t high ranking generals, who waged unjustified war hanged after the Nuremburg trials after the war? And I am thinking of Keitel and Jodl and even their foreign minister, von Ribbentrop?

So the next time I get a traffic ticket I should say to the cop “I guess it was time to act outside legal framework”?

Yes , all three ,death by hanging (oct 16th , 1946)
Alfred Jodl tried to defend himself by saying that "he was only following orders"
He had requested firing squad , but was hanged instead.
He was convicted during his Neuremburg trial of not following the international rules of war .
