Accusations of torture

There are accusations of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals using torture against the accused. Can anyone verify or debunk those accusations? While I can’t exclude the possibility of some of them being tortured I find widespread torture implausible. Please note that I don’t intend to read any “revisionist” literature. Some details of the Nazi genocide may well be legitimately revisioned. But their industrial killing of millions of defenceless people is so well-documented it is highly unlikely to be disproven.

A guy named Chris asserts there being no doubt about the use of torture during these trials. What do mainstream historians say about that? He also claims that 137 out of 139 examined men had their testes crushed. Supposing not everyone tortured had his testes crushed I find torture that widespread hard to stomach. Did the Americans decide in advance which ones to acquit? I see no sensible reason to think so.
