Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and Josef Goebbels had committed suicide by this time. They were the most notorious of the Nazi war criminals. The following is a list of the most notable of the surviving Nazis tried at Nuremburg.
-Hermann Goering (Leader of Hitler's Luftwaffe, or German Air Force). He was sentenced to death at the Nuremburg Trials, but smuggled a cyanide tablet into his cell the night before he was to be hanged.
-Joachim von Ribbentrop (Hitler's Minister of Foreign Affairs). Sentenced to death by the court, and hanged on October 16th, 1946.
-Wilhelm Keitel (The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, or the High Commander of the Armed Forces). One of Germany's most senior leaders during the Third Reich, he was sentenced to death and hanged on October 16th, 1946.
-Alfred Jodl (Also an Oberkommando der Wehrmacht). He was the deputy of Wilhelm Keitel (see above). He was found guilty of war crimes and hung on October 16th, 1946.
-Ernst Kaltenbrunner (President of Interpol and an Obergruppenfuhrer, or Senior Group Lead, of the SS). He was the highest-ranking SS to stand trial. He was found guilty of war crimes and hanged on October 16th, 1946.
-Julius Streicher (Nazi propagandist; published anti-Semitic books and newspapers). Found guilty of crimes against humanity, and hanged on October 16th, 1946.
-Hjalmar Schacht (Hitler's Minister of Economics and President of the Reichsbank. Also participated in the July 20th plot to kill Hitler). He was imprisoned by the Nazis shortly after the July 20th plot. At the Nuremburg Trials, he was tried and acquitted. He started a prominent German bank in 1953, and never dabbled in Nazi circles again.
-Martin Bormann (Head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, or Parteikanzlei). He was tried at Nuremburg in absentia, meaning he wasn't there. The jury did find him guilty of war crimes, and sentenced him to death. It was argued by the jury however, that they couldn't give a death sentence to a man that was more than likely dead anyway.
His remains were hidden until 1972. On December 1st, a group of Nazi hunters found remains at a construction site in West Berlin. They were confirmed to be Bormann's by dental records.
In addition to the above listed, others were tried.
