The Allies held war crimes trials after World War II to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities committed during the war, including the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity. The trials aimed to promote justice and establish a legal precedent for prosecuting war crimes, thereby reinforcing the principle that individuals, including state leaders, could be held accountable for their actions. The most notable of these trials was the Nuremberg Trials, which sought to document the extent of the crimes and provide a platform for victims to share their experiences. Ultimately, these trials served to promote international law and deter future violations.
After World War II, only a small number of Gestapo members were prosecuted for their war crimes. The Nuremberg Trials primarily focused on high-ranking Nazi officials, and although some lower-ranking Gestapo members faced trial, the overall number prosecuted was limited. Estimates suggest that hundreds of Gestapo members were never brought to justice, with many evading prosecution altogether due to the chaotic post-war situation. The lack of comprehensive efforts to hold all perpetrators accountable resulted in a significant number escaping punishment.
The Nuremberg Trials put officers from the German High Command responsible for war crimes to justice. Among the war crimes that they were convicted of were atrocities committed in the concentration camps.
