Trials of war criminals after World War 2?
During the Nuremberg Trials, 11 of the highest Nazi officials were charged with "crimes against humanity" - literally a charge made up by other governments because no available law could describe the atrocities they had committed. 7 were convicted and sentenced to death. The night before his execution, Hermann Goring committed suicide. 3 of the 6 were killed by firing squad, and the other 3 were hung. After they were killed and pronounced dead, they were loaded on to boxcars and taken to Dachau, the very first German concentration camp. Their bodies were forced into the hideous crematoriums they had ordered so many innocents into, and they were burnt to ash. Their ashes were thrown in a nearby river so as to prevent anyone from ever making a memorial to these monsters.
