Actually the Nuremburg trials were a farce. Having Soviet judges over Nazis is sort of kin to having the Mafia hold a trial of the Cripts.

Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for the Nazis, and am happy most of them were punished, just never thought those trials were anything but legalized lynchings.

In the end, it really didn't make any difference since they could have been tried by post war German governments and executed for such things as murder instead of made up charges like "waging aggressive war".

(IMO) Sometimes a legalized lynching is just what's called for.
