justiz und ns-verbrechen / nazi crimes on trial

german trial judgments concerning national socialist homicidal crimes

 

Welcome to the English version of the 'Justiz und NS-Verbrechen' / Nazi Crimes on Trial web-site.  The information you'll find here consists of an overview of  the trials involving Nazi (war) crimes of a homicidal nature, conducted since 1945 before West and East German courts.

Because of the work involved in the translation of the German data files and because we've got a few other things on our hands as well, this part of the site will be under construction for a considerable time. In the end, however, you'll find a (near) complete translation of the German trial case descriptions at this location. In regular updates we will add more information to these pages.

On the following pages you'll find an index on the post-war German trials in both East and West Germany. Please note that the trial cases listed here only concern criminal offenses involving fatalities. Trials about non-fatal crimes (such as 'mere' mishandlings or 'economical' offenses) are not included. Listed here are trials which, generally speaking, relate to (mass) murder.

To find the case(s) you're interested in you can use a number of entries :
- contents of the volumes (trial judgments in chronological order of publication)
- defendants (lists the full names of those sentenced - limited version -)
- crime category (criminal typology)
- country (where the crimes were committed)
- crime location (locus delicti)
- victims (according to kind)
- victims (according to nationality)
- agency (perpetrator agency involved in the commission of the crime)
- courts (german courts involved in the trials)

Note:
In order to avoid misunderstandings, please note that the information given under the heading 'subject of the proceeding'  in the case descriptions on the following pages only lists the criminal offense(s) of which the defendants had been accused. Whether or not, and particularly also,  to what extent these accusations were considered proven by the courts can be concluded only from a study of the trial judgments themselves.

The case descriptions do not take up any position with regard to either indictment or judgment. They are merely intended to offer an overview of the subject matter of the proceedings and of their outcome.
