!!!Nürnberger Prozesse

Nuremberg Trials, trials conducted by an international military 
tribunal and American military courts to punish crimes committed by 
National Socialists. An international military tribunal consisting of 
4 judges conducted the proceedings against the main German war 
criminals from November 14, 1945 to October 1, 1946. The Austrians A.  
Seyss-Inquart and E.  Kaltenbrunner were among the twelve criminals 
sentenced to death. National Socialist organizations including the SS, 
SD (Sicherheitsdienst), Gestapo and the NSDAP leaders were declared to 
be criminal, while the government of the German Reich, the general 
staff, Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (Supreme Military Command) and SA 
(Storm Troopers) were acquitted. Several Austrians were also accused 
in the 12 subsequent trials before American war tribunals.
