Nuremberg — Germany
The 2000 TV miniseries depicts the Nuremberg war crimes trials — Göring, Ribbentrop, Keitel and 21 other Nazi leaders facing Allied justice in the Palace of Justice.
The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg ran from 20 November 1945 to 1 October 1946. Twelve defendants were sentenced to death, seven to prison, three acquitted. The trials established the legal principle that crimes against humanity could be prosecuted internationally and that 'following orders' was not a valid defence — laying the foundation for international criminal law.
