Summary:
Of all the war crimes committed in history, those perpetrated under Hitler's Third Reich were the most devastating. These deeds were so terrible that the victorious Allies had to develop an entirely new body of law -- international criminal law -- to deal with them. This film presents archival footage of the trial of the Nazi hierarchy in Nuremberg, where the full extent of Nazi horrors was revealed to the world.
