[edit] Did any of the criminals show any remorse?

Just wondering if any of the Germans who were convicted showed any remorse for their actions during the trials? In photos they always look so serious, cold, and emotionless, almost inhuman. I wonder what was accomplished by murdering them. Thank goodness most of the world has abolished this barbaric practice. The greatest punishment these men could have received would be spending the rest of their lives in prison thinking about what they had done. Davez621 (talk) 11:57, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Kangaroo Court

Just researching various criminal proceedings and military tribunals throughout the years, and I've noticed that almost all 'war criminal' hearings meet the criteria of a kangaroo court in multiple elements. The nuremberg trials specifically tick almost every box of the criteria estimated that 'one or more of the following' be met to be considered one. I was wondering why this, or the legitimacy of the courts, aren't addressed? It being so far in the past, and me having no real knowledge about it up until a recent uni project, it sounds entirely like a sham where we've rounded up the leaders of the enemy and already planned their downfall but did it in a popularity winning mock trial to feed the papers in a public relations spin. I don't know whether saying such would be sensationalised, as many people from former Allied nations tend to be very critical of anyone questioning whether we did the right thing in any way throughout history (see: crusades defenders, et al) but I think given the era that it being a kangaroo court isn't an insult to the allies or anyone involved, but merely a sociographic element that needs to be discussed and talked about because to be honest the trials as a PR stunt are possibly the most notable thing about them from a social ecology / anthropology POV. 121.216.23.18 (talk) 08:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I would have thought that the Criticism section addresses this question. In what ways do you believe it does not? Longwayround (talk) 20:06, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Simultaneous Interpretation

The last paragraph of this section has a reference that needs to be properly footnoted. I don't know how to do it though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.232.173.86 (talk) 06:21, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Defense Counsel needs more!

Currently, I'm writing a research paper on The Hunt for Nazi War Criminals. I found this page quite useful during my research. The only problem is that there is absolutely no information on these lawyers. If there is only that much information, why not merge it with another paragraph? This needs fixing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.177.244 (talk) 03:57, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
