What laws did theNazis violated during world war 2?

Answer 1

Almost all of the Nazis that survived to stand trial at Nuremburg faced one or both of the following charges:

-War Crimes

-Crimes Against Humanity

War crimes, for lack of a better definition, is a catch-all term. But, the worst violations, called Grave Breaches, are the most serious. They include:

-Willfully torturing, killing, or mistreating another human, including experimentation

-Willfully causing another human pain or suffering, including experimentation

-Compelling another human to serve in the armed forces of a hostile power

-Willfully depriving another human of a fair trial

-Taking of hostages

-Unlawful destruction not militarily justified (ie; killing the Jews and burning their shops)

-Unlawful deportation, transfer, or confinement

A crime against humanity, however, is a more serious charge. It usually carries the death penalty, or at the very least, a life sentence. It is defined as:

"Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated."

Answer 2

They violated the Geneva Convention's laws for war.
